Saturation Density? Green.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I wonder if we'll see the Elon Musk cameo... with enough K anything is possible, even this... curious notion of causation!

Oh shit that is Moon Base Alpha.
Well it's gonna blow up in a few decades ago in the past of 1999.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

That eye shadow is protective of ionizing radiation #monsterdon

now THAT'S a Moon Base. Miniatures, Spheres, sooo many blinky lights. CHECK.

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

@apLundell@timeloop.cafe If only they'd invented email by then! You'd be asking a secretary to type up twelve copies of the memo.

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

The moonbase has a strict purple hair dress code #monsterdon #InvasionUFO

We still haven't invented supersonic Viagra yet I see #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I mean, where would fashion be without the dscover of alien life? #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO 🛸👽

*squeak* "Excuse me."

Beans for lunch. #Monsterdon

Psych! I'm here. I've been here since the very beginning of the film when the flight took off!

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Every civic designer in the chat is raging at that silver on black road sign, btw.

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

I wonder what the moon's thinking about rn #Monsterdon

Show me your O smoke!

#Monsterdon

wonder how the aliens are doing #Monsterdon

okay I missed a few minutes because of stuff going on. are the purple haired ladies aliens?

#monsterdon

@xerozohar Have you read the wikipedia article on it? Totally fascinating!

#Monsterdon (well maybe not)

WE WERE MOONED!

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO1980

Oh yes, if you're on the moon, you're shiny. #monsterdon

Excellent hair color

#monsterdon

Check out the *Typeset in the Future* book. It's fun. The author even got Paul Verhoeven to give an interview about *Total Recall*.

#Monsterdon

Silver jumpsuits? AFFIRMATIVE
Purple Wigs: AFFIRMATIVE
#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

SHADO had an SST back when it was cool.

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Meanwhile on the moon

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

See the nice thing about evil organizations is that they don't have silly requirements of their pilots like, y'know, sight

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

#monsterdon was that cocaine on his desk?

He's chuffin a fatty! In the control room!

#Monsterdon

SOCCER BALL ONE!

#monsterdon

Reflex?

Check.

Deflections?

Check.

Vuvuzela?

📯 Check!

#monsterdon

You know it’s the future because there’s more than one woman working with the computers #monsterdon

Bodysuits are just a really dangerous fashion choice for a multitude of reasons

#Monsterdon

And then Gamera appears, I assume. #Monsterdon

(camera pans over moonbase)

THIS IS THE VOICE OF THE MYSTERONS whoops wait wrong movie

#monsterdon

Moon soccer ball 3 is where the action is

#monsterdon
#InvasionUFO

Meanwhile on Moon Base Soccer Ball 1 #Monsterdon #invasionUFO

SHADO Control, this is Seagull X-Ray.

All of the cool pilots wear sunnies to land. #Monsterdon

That base should be careful. An explosion on the moon could send it hurtling into space.

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

I know it was a Rich Person Only Waste of Money and Pollution but I kinda miss the Concorde. It was unique.

#monsterdon

Concorde?

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

look at least he's smoking directly into the air filter

#monsterdon

Close up on the moon and its submarines #monsterdon #InvasionUFO

I see France supplied the SST #Monsterdon

"you-tronic" now

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Oh, they spent ten years developing Thunderbirds technology. #Monsterdon

oh right, in the distant future of 1980 you're still smoking in top secret bases

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

It would be a shame if everyone you loved fell into a woodchipper.

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Why are all the men in this installation 20 to 40 years older than all the women?

Wait, don’t answer that

#Monsterdon

Is his boss an elf? WTF, Elric? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

That hair is quite a choice.

He got the job cause he can blow those smoke rings. #Monsterdon #invasionUFO

"For 10 years there have been setbacks"

We can only aspire to reach such heights with #Monsterdon itself

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Ed Bishop talks likes he's on helium. #Monsterdon

FLY SHADAIR TODAY!

#monsterdon

The future is white sleeveless jumpsuits over dark brown turtlenecks.

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Oh, yes, I forgot. So. Much. Smoking.

#monsterdon

Bent plane nose, like the real SST.

#Monsterdon
#InvasionUFO

"u-foe sightings"...

#Monsterdon

Trying to read the plot summary to catch up but the plot summary just describes what SHADO is and what kind of gear is has. so i guess is that all that's been going on? #monsterdon

Arbitrary lights and buttons about the place… that’s how you define sci-fi.

#Monsterdon

the fuck is he sitting on?? #monsterdon

watchers of the file from the Archive: is it just me or is the volume gradually getting lower as it goes on

#monsterdon

Those miniatures, man! #monsterdon #InvasionUFO

@pwloftus@pwl.farted.net Once the movie is picked we all hit play on our respective media types at 9pm Eastern. I'm watching here:

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

TOY PLANE!! #Monsterdon #invasionUFO

Yeah, I bet it is part of the personal service.

#monsterdon

REMEMBER THE CONCORD. #monsterdon

"Look at this"

"Dude, that TV is crap did you build it yourself with parts from Radio Shack?"

#monsterdon

why does everyone here look like they had a bit part in A Clockwork Orange

#Monsterdon

This dude knows a lot about buildings, that's why he was called in. #Monsterdon

This movie really is trying to check all the sexism boxes within the first ten minutes #Monsterdon

"You must have passaed all the tests!"

Crow: "All the hairspray tests?"
Servo: "I scored top marks in Aqua Net!"

#monsterdon

#monsterdon lol it's only been ten years??? He looks SO OLD NOW

Ah, jumpsuits- the most convenient clothing. The best outfits make you get naked to poop.
#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Yay, more non-alien aircraft spotted! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon you can always refuse, that is you can always refuse right this instant otherwise you're stuck with the assignment. No no no, too late, moment passed, welcome aboard!

The names Shado. James Shado
#monsterdon

I, too, would like to wear pajamas to work in the future.
#Monsterdon

There isn't any shadow with those lady catsuits. But there is shade.

#Monsterdon

"these desks make for the BEST coke lines"

#monsterdon

this is one weird XCOM fanfic

#monsterdon

Why is the dialogue so stilted? Is this supposed to lend to pacing? #monsterdon

gotham city sign labelling was subcontracted for that "video phone" sign

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Those outfits scream cult to me.

#Monsterdon

The subtitles say [tense music]…I don’t suppose there will be any [light orchestral] music is coming. But some super groovy music just went by.

#Monsterdon
#InvasionUFO

All that money bought some quality uniforms. #monsterdon

Shadow masoquist are they?
When it changed to soft space porn?
#Monsterdon

I knew *something* was familiar about this movie. Gerry Anderson. Now remembering a little more of where this fits within his overall body of work.

I've watched Thunderbirds a few times over the years. One of the earliest shows I remember catching on early premium cable was the anime version, Thunderbirds: 2086. I recently gave Captain Scarlet a try.
