The protagonist is an old man? Well everyone seems to be over 50.

I guess I’ll change out of my pajamas to go home

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

FYI, the guy drew out the letter V, not out of emphasis, but because Temple can't read.
#monsterdon

And that’s final! Wait, we’re still rolling?

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Anyway, this is Alpha Control saying great job team, that's another "movie" - or impersonation of a movie - successfully launched into space. May it never bore us again, and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting!

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

@randy_s Pod 6-7 are you there? Static and giggles are the response.
#Monsterdon

The second feature has a dearth of mesh

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

You'll have to count me out. My dad grounded me.
#monsterdon

In the category of Watching Grown-ups Play Dolls With Sci Fi Action, I give 5 out of 5 stars to #InvasionUFO . So many lovingly designed miniatures, sets, costumes, hairstyles, and killer makeup. So little interest in plot, character, emotion, and human expression. Even though Gerry Anderson productions seem directed at kids, some scenes take weird twists into dark territory. I mean who would cap a massive space battle with a funeral for a character we barely remember?

Thank you #monsterdon for sharing our communal bafflement. Thank you @Taweret for hosting. Thank you @cherizilla for the bingo card archive! Thank you @miru for the wonderful music subtitles.

A flock of space geese! What a terrible day for a meteor shower.
#Monsterdon #TheyCameFromBeyondSpace

@mdhughes @GeoffWozniak I'll stick to Space 1999. It's got alot of good scifi horror. And when it's bad it's atleast confusing in an interesting way.
#Monsterdon

I was distracted by the lava lamp aesthetics. Did that say, "Based on the screenplay, the gods must hate me?" or something like that?

#Monsterdon #TheyCameFromBeyondSpace1967

I am still not used to the keyboard on this new phone but the typos in the previous #Monsterdon toot are awesome so I am leaving them

Instead of worrying about whatever sophistry that voice-over was, let me share this image that came up when I was trying to remember the name of Thunderbirds.

Thanks for a fun hang everybody! Thanks @Taweret for organizing and @miru for making this possible for me on nights when I skate through the door 5-minutes late.

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

@moira So the series was better than the movie? #Monsterdon

"The clincher is in the back" no, that's the /shocker/ #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

anyway, thanks @Taweret for hosting, @ryan for the stream (@miru), and Past Me for remembering to buy lemons so I could have a nice twist of lemon peel in tonight's drink

no thanks to my boss for not having the file ready so I had to watch this instead of working

#Monsterdon

Anyway, while the original 1970 TV series UFO is _very_ uneven - it has some great episodes and some _real_ stinkers - I would recommend even the worst episodes of that _well_ above this nonsense.

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

@DenOfEarth @kittlerbot 😆#Monsterdon

The came from beyond space? eeh?
Is this gonna be more silly british scifi? Woohoo
#Monsterdon #TheyCameFromBeyondSpace

you-fo real, movie? (hint: no)

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting! That was... weird, huh. Off to the double feature!

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Um. This movie poster speaks to me on a deep level. Artistically. #Monsterdon

What the lack of ending is this!?! If I’m going to invest 90+ minutes with commercials, I need resolution.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO #InvasionUFO1980

So for a lot of movies I can understand why the creators thought the end result was pretty okay, even if they were badly mistaken.

But in this case I genuinely start to wonder about tax dodge schemes or dares, or some form of malicious compliance to a contract or something.
#monsterdon

I think I need to watch Silver Bullet to make myself feel better. #monsterdon

You know, this movie is as good as an unecessary root canal.
#monsterdon
#Invasionufo1980

I’m not sure what they are blowing up but I feel a glimmer of hope that this movie is reaching its end #Monsterdon

HAAAAAA!

That ending though.

Narration:
"Is it the end or the beginning?"

Basic dialog of a writer who doesn't know how to write a good ending.
#monsterdon

Hashtag MutualAid intermisssssssion #Monsterdon

Next up... more invaders from space?
Space Invaders?

Thanks @Taweret for organizing as usual! #monsterdon #InvasionUFO

BOOO Carlton Media BOOOO #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Thank you @Taweret and the rest of the #Monsterdon gang!

[eerie music continues]

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

@wohali I want that rotary phone with the dial on the bottom.

#Monsterdon

The credits tells me that we have found the end. 🤷

#Monsterdon

They must have spent all their money on special effects and run out of screenwriter salary.

#monsterdon

Don’t forget to take your cholesterol meds, kids. The end.

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

THE END?

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

“Seagull X-Ray Copilot” sounds cooler than anything we actually saw #monsterdon

@steggy 🤣

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Eerie music continues

#monsterdon #invasionUFO

"Where does the universe end?" Right here right now 🎉

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Wait, it's over? I mean, yay it's over, but what?

-fin
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

And the move just kinda stops. Fucks right off into a planetary zoom out.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

A billion miles of coincidence were responsible for this story. That is definitely lampshading by the writer. #Monsterdon

?????
??????????????
????????

#monsterdon

"Where does the universe end? Where does it begin?" I DON'T CAREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

#Monsterdon

@moira Yeah, *Riding With Death* was bad, and that was only two episodes of *Gemini Man*

#Monsterdon

He's rockin that lavender suit.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Wow and some philosophical bs. wHeRE dOES iT ENnNd???? 😱😱😱 #monsterdon

Okay, a funeral for someone who died 10 years ago?

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

"I'll tell my parents I was at your house, you tell yours you were at mine" #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

sure just tell the guy who is about ready to fly out that his sister was organ-harvested to death by aliens
#Monsterdon

You wouldn’t like to know the details. How I stood over he mangled body…

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

WOW that got dark all of a sudden

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Well this last scene is a downer!

#Monsterdon
#InvasionUFO

Quick, The End, let's go, chop chop #monsterdon #InvasionUFO

And they all fucked off into a funeral.

The End.

#monsterdon

Wait who is this guy? Did we meet his sister before?
Oh she was in the cold open that i forgot happened.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

...Is this, uh, connected to anything? What IS this scene? #Monsterdon

The truth? They can't handle the truth!

#Monsterdon

So you see kids, that’s why the UN must never, ever be funded. THE END #Monsterdon

Well, that was terrible, but it reminded me of this thing I made last year.

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Wow, significant wobble on that satellite. Did they not baffle air flow? #Monsterdon

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do.... #Monsterdon

Those attacking alien ships must have stormtroopers on board. They can't seem to hit the target.

#Monsterdon

How are they still at the moon? They were approaching Earth a minute ago!

#monsterdon

And now a montage of YuFoe explosions from across the series.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

💥

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

@me How are we respirating while they're talking! That's what I wanna know.

#monsterdon

Oh now we can hit YOUFOs #Monsterdon

Cut to aliens spinning around in their ships

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

#monsterdon

"I wanted to have a word with you before you pull out"
