well, they got the U-foe _that_ time at least
Iβm so jealous of their eye makeup #monsterdon
Even when he's directing people Anderson has them move like puppets. They're so stiff. #Monsterdon #invasionUFO
That was positively the same explosion sequence!
[explosions boom]
@floatybirb Also is the TV show better than the movie or the other way around?
Havenβt we seen this effects sequence already?
Cool guys don't make visual contact with explosions

I feel that these you-foes are definitely eye-foes at this point
countdown...
#Monsterdon
@arrjay I've been told it was a British thing in this era.
Narrowly avoided 067 and 069 jokes
#Monsterdon
How does that guy *know* all of that about the aliens? #Monsterdon
A-Okay!
so we're saying the decimal out loud, but not the dashes? okay.
Explosions in space, a classic #monsterdon #InvasionUFO
Is Lt. Green in command of the interceptor flight?
didn't we see this footage before?
@TerryHancock @klu9 And you were never institutionalized? #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO πΈπ½

R-checks are A-OK.
Well, thank God for that.
the posh English accent makes the dire announcements kind of hard to take seriously
Were those the same explosions from the last battle? #monsterdon #InvasionUFO
#monsterdon Well, you might want to pose that question to a Hercules...
WOW that ship in a ship is awesome. I should look for that design in the KSP Workshops #Monsterdon
These guys spend all their time seated on interceptors?
#Monsterdon
#invasionufo1980
no
no
you shall not continue
(no but seriously this is absurdly hilarious, please do go on)
@trixter such subtlety, so winkwinknudgenudge
yup, there it is, @Louisa typing it out faster than I can because I'm laughing too hard
Everything good with you? Doing well? Great. Nice weather weβre having
SID's echo means he's in space. #monsterdon
The Yufo version of a scalp is bringing back a purple wig or an orange visor
This is getting exciting (more numbers)
Why did Earth send all of their sexy mojo to the moon WHY?? #Monsterdon
@aburka THE ALIEN IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE PLANET
The duck-billed interceptors are gonna have another go. Maybe it'll work this time? The music is much funkier.
@phooky yeah, for Peteβs sake π #Monsterdon
Doooooomed!

Interceptor launch sequence count: 2
Nina turns around like, "Wow, look at the weirdo in the wild outfit! No chrome or spandex ANYWHERE!" #Monsterdon
#monsterdon This spaceship looks like a milkshake blender.
@floatybirb I mean it is sort of explained but also it seems to be a lot of wandering around and making preparations and dramatic statements with music that goes "duh, duh-duh DUH" without much happening?
This movie is Elons wet dream.
I see strings on that red space craft. π
Gotta make sure you can pull out while in flight
Always a left tennant, never a right tennant
Why!? is this corridor? #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO πΈπ½
Sir, some of us *donβt* look on animals with callousness
Bring back purple wigs and silver uniforms you cowards!
So their version of the Space Shuttle. #Monsterdon
The guy in the suit does not belong. #monsterdon
Now, back to the REAL point of this movie : cool fantasy airplane models
#Monsterdon
Mostly Gerry Anderson just wanted to make movies about all his cool toys. #Monsterdon #invasionUFO
It's fortunate Earth stamps serial numbers on its transplanted organs. #Monsterdon
is this a lightsaber?
Movie, I see where you're going, but I really don't think that line needed a dramatic sting.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
THESE OUTFITS. SERIOUSLY.
One dude.
Just one dude doing all the thinking and monologue-ing for a whole ass government organizazation.
Thatβs a lot of pressure.
No joke I do dig these semi-realistic craft.
Young Nic Roeg frantically taking notes...
Did they usually just let any ole' person direct movies back then?
Oh neat, they're flying a rocket salmon to the moon! #Monsterdon
Lotsa big, ponderous & loud air & spacecraft in anything made by this crew.
More novelty aerospace equipment, with the long lingering shots of operational logistics. Love it!
@catzilla Clearly an adhesive allergy π #Monsterdon
straker has a fushigi #Monsterdon
"abundant and fertile, able to satisfy their needs." [funky music plays]

OK Question number 3 is why do they come? but I missed Question 2 somehow I was just listening for the three questions dangit
Captain over-extrapolation
Ooh, near-miss on the "they are not so different from us" in Capt. Straker's monologue.
They got all that info from messing with the eyeball?
#Monsterdon
He's just gonna wear that sleeveless white jumpsuit the whole time, huh?
You can barely see the string on that one!
#monsterdon #InvasionUFO
This soliloquy is like a Usenet post before Usenet. #monsterdon
Can anyone on earth "satisfy their needs"?
Have they come... for our fags?
You heard it here first kids, doing drugs might save your life someday
