Been playing too much Helldivers, because when those two guys popped up out of the crater, I wanted to start shooting, like they were terminids. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

"I'd give anything for things to be back the way they were thismorning, with me calling you a fool!"

Yeah, I liked that part, too. You should call him stupid again :D #Monsterdon

#monsterdon "It's for you, something about your color-changing car's extended warranty"

Ah, parts and electrical equipment are missing.

I think that means we have a THE THING (FROM ANOTHER WORLD) scenario

#Monsterdon

Random #monsterdon note: Soundtrack/score is in the A-/B+ range so far
Judicious use of the theremin! dramatic string/horn swells when appropriate! Maybe a bit cheesy, but I've heard worse

Bechdel tease. Please change the subject from George #monsterdon

Did Ellen change her outfit at John's place? or is this the next day or something? #monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai Not very different from the Professor using coconuts to build radios.
#Monsterdon

"And that ain't like George. Not with HIS appetite." 😏

Did you catch my innuendo there? Listen, I need you to understand that my missing and possibly dead boyfriend liked sex

#Monsterdon

George's ultra-hot floosie wife

#monsterdon

"ladies leave, the men are talking"

uurrghhhh

#monsterdon

Holy Cats there's THREE WHOLE WOMEN in that shot! #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

is this a friend of George's, or a "friend" of George's? #monsterdon

women literally just screamed when they saw things back then

#monsterdon

Damn, she will scream at anything. #Monsterdon

"That you, Tom?"

Well, that's an interesting question actually! :D #Monsterdon

YESSSSSS> give me hillbilly aliens!
#monsterdon

Oh, so it's a McCarthy era Red Scare metaphor we've got here. Very clever #monsterdon

LOL I keep forgetting to check the bingo card, just because I'm engaged enough with the movie! This one's actually pretty good.

#Monsterdon

@wrog @k8eb yup. he's in a bunch of 50s sci-fi movies #monsterdon

white mans is gonna go into that abandoned building because, of course he's gonna do that. #Monsterdon

These aliens seem extremely bored of our planet. Maybe we should just chill until they die of boredom.

#Monsterdon

@socketwench Lots of mules are smart. They're stubborn and they don't care much about what we want. #Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

The alien has learned to Cover Their Tracks. Or just noticed how obvious the glitter trail was.

#Monsterdon

"He's risen from the dead and gone off in his truck" Praise Frank! #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Yes, it's like some nightmare where you're waiting for it to be over.

It's a 1953 zombie movie.

#Monsterdon

@allanb It's a beastie boys vid?! #monsterdon

I keep forgetting this lady is the School Principal.
Those kids....

#monsterdon

It is within our power to transform, but we will be wooden and strange. #Monsterdon

@blogdiva I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the eye-dick #monsterdon

Okay, misidentifying the guy as dead was a cool twist.

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

BE NOT AFRAID #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

oh no, neither one of them is actually dead! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Even in the 50s, the alien invasion will be televised.

Imagine having no wing mirror, but a spotlight on your car. Was that normal? I guess so. #monsterdon

@Taweret Maybe he's just neurodivergent #monsterdon

Yes. The sun. Stare Directly At It. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

This experience could cause telephone wire guy to change careers, become a professor, go on a 3-hour tour…
#monsterdon

see if i was under alien control and trying to convince everyone i was normal i would not speak in a super suss monotone

but that's just me

#monsterdon

Don't stare at the sun you idiot

#monsterdon

4th Amendment Violations in Monster Movies: In this paper I will exam-
(gets eviscerated by an alien)
#monsterdon

John's ear phases in and out of reality as he talks to 'Not-George'

#monsterdon

The smoke that turned into George was really well done. Very cool. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

#monsterdon "Yes the sun" /stares directly at the sun for a good 5-6 seconds "Nothing like a good view of the sun in the middle of the afternoon am I right fellow humans?"

oh, no! the boss was gobbled up too?!?! #Monsterdon

That car has the turning radius of a container ship approaching the Key Bridge with no power #monsterdon

"look at that" he says way too casually about the giant fucking alien monster in the middle of the road they are about to crash into

#monsterdon

🎬 TRIVIA FROM OUTER SPACE 🎬

👀 The Alien Eye Cam effect, groundbreaking for its time, was created by blowing a special recipe "tough bubble" around the lens. The bubble was short-lived, so scenes had to be short.

#ItCameFromOuterSpace 🌌
#Monsterdon 🦖

Yep. Definitely America. Come across an unknown situation. Grab your gun.

#Monsterdon

so....did they get eaten? or like the alien just kinda stared them to death?
#monsterdon

Wait, it's has a.....smoke hand?

#monsterdon

A man ain't dead so long as the wind still whispers his name in the wires. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace #discworld #sendinghome

@blogdiva Ref just glares #BackToYouJim #Monsterdon

"If you're thinking of getting off early..." 😆 #Monsterdon

I gather from the feed that there was some glitter I was supposed to see at some point in this thing

#Monsterdon

"And sometimes you think the wind gets in the wires"

And sometimes when we touch the honesty is too much #Monsterdon

And he bonks his head on the wire, the brylcreme completes the circut and he dies :D #Monsterdon

I like the red dirt on his jumper

#monsterdon

Careful, that Joshua Tree looks like it's related to Matango #monsterdon

if the tree eats him, this movie gets an automatic pass from me. #monsterdon

"where did you come from, where did you go? where did you come from, bug-eyed joe?" #monsterdon

@Taweret standard 50's I guess 🤦

Incidentally, Ellen or Helen? I keep going back and forth on how I'm hearing it

#Monsterdon

This guy needs to take his meds or sell some poetry. Damn.
#Monsterdon

Oh to live in the days when flat earthers were laughed out of existence #monsterdon

Refreshing to watch a flick that actually bothers with things like cinematography. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Odd, individual, and loney. Referring to the guy who doesn't go anywhere without his wife and at least one friend. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Why would we expect an excess of radiation from any space object? WTF. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

this colorized version is kinda crappy. I can't tell if Johnny car is grey or if they forgot to colorized it
#monsterdon

His car is painted with mood ring pigment #monsterdon

he's today's headline? is HE really the most noteworthy thing going on with this "asteroid" ??? really??? #monsterdon

So what's the over/under on the stereotypical Bumbling Sheriff showing up? Y'know, the typical Gene Roth/Alan Hale Jr. guy. #Monsterdon

The theremin gave up and went home #monsterdon

American press. That way you know they're not commies.

#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

I think the alien has glaucoma and is looking for a dispensary. #Monsterdon

@apLundell
I think this movie was originally in black and white and then later colorized, so the colors here are probably sus.
#Monsterdon

Wait, are the weird looking through a bowl of jelly things supposed to be seeing from the monster's perspective?

I should not have taken this long to realize that.

#Monsterdon

Kirk is fighting a Gorn behind the hill on the right. #Monsterdon

Johnny as a good citizen of the USA keeps his firearm at hand 😄
#Monsterdon

This monster gets its lenses from the same place the Daleks get their eye stalks checked. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

#Monsterdon
But it was a scary Joshua Tree.

The thing just wants a lift #monsterdon

jump scare ... NOT

#monsterdon

so, wait, the theremin is in the rear view mirror?!?! #Monsterdon

My god, the alien's come for our strategic Visine reserves! #monsterdon

Wtf? Did old cars actually have poseable headlights where the side view mirrors should be?! #monsterdon

The Brain from the Planet Auros would like to register the following statement about tonight's monster design:

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Hell Yes! giant eyeball

In the desert, no one can hear you scream.
#Monsterdon

"...what was that?"
"I don't know, maybe Marty Feldman?"

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

keep moving the steering wheel side to side slightly. make it look like you're really driving

#monsterdon

I'm actually kind of sad looking at all the plants and stuff that's just no around anymore. Stupid human climate change.
#Monsterdon

So open top helicopters were actually a thing. Huh. Today I learned. #monsterdon

Thanks for the ride, see you later Petey the Plane! #Monsterdon

"Must have been traveling pretty fast to hit the Earth and stay in one piece" - that tracks

#monsterdon
#ItCameFromOuterSpace

So protagonist guy can only afford 2/3rds a fireplace, has a house without a finished exterior, and his helicopter friend doesn't even have the chopper *finished* yet.

Did we...just start the movie before it finished loading, or something?

#monsterdon

@diazona@techhub.social @Taweret@octodon.social Good point, nothing on Earth makes hexagons

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Where did all the rocks even come from though? Was there a giant pile of them on the rim of the crater that nobody happened to notice?

#Monsterdon

if you showed me a big metal ball stuck in a rock i would not say 'it's some kind of ship' but im just different

#monsterdon

For Pete's sake, Pete! #Monsterdon
