i am not even joking by the way

as unintentionally hilarious as the bearsplosion was

this was worse

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

the backing track keeps playing as it is afraid of NO bar fight
#Monsterdon

"You know, I think that creature was friendly..."

Maybe, but then you dropped the part about how he was part of an invasion force, so a bit muddled ending there.

Oof.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon John, Mears, Johnny! It's a twister, it's a twister!

#Monsterdon

The costume department really liked to pop those collars.

@floatybirb they can only make it go faster now slow it down they don't know how it works

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Space never looked like that, even back in 1951, except in cartoons, high-priced CGI team.

This was the sort of movie that makes me respect the vital paper mache industry, dry ice, and also shadows.

#Monsterdon

ballroom blitz but worse
#Monsterdon

That mustache... #monsterdon

And the planet..... it then circles back up into space without an invasion, like planets do.

Nick of time!

#Monsterdon

Turns out it's pretty annoying to have these humans always sneaking up on you and turning off your air supply. Screw it might as well eff off back into space and freeze to death

THE END

Abrupt, pointless ending. Well done #Monsterdon ...well done

Thanks for hosting @Taweret I wanna go have some tea and maybe go walk in the fog of the Moors now

No bingo for me this week! Alas, it was fun clowning around with you all. G'night #monsterdon buddies.

The moral of the story: we need more linguists and fewer panicky dudes in crisis situations.

This was the movie that put Michael Dukakis over the top!

#Monsterdon

Well, that's another #Monsterdon in the can. Thanks as always to @Taweret for putting these things together.
I got to be here for 2 in a row! Woo!

Have a great night everyone. :)

@davesdogmaggie How do you stop the bleeding, though?.... #Monsterdon

“Can it be kept a secret?” “No but it can be reduced to gossip”#Monsterdon [I mean the reporter should know]

@SRLevine this is the correct approach

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Wow!! I never seen such complete destruction... #monsterdon

#monsterdon Thanks to Taweret and Cherizilla and Joe Watching for hosting, etc.! This movie fucked off into the fog/outer space and now it is mercifully over.

And thanks to @miru for the enjoyable jazz interlude between the movies.

I'm enjoying not having to attempt the "hit play at the same time while I'm easily distracted because I'm me" your feed provides.

#Monsterdon

Next time, make a ship with a better door.
#monsterdon

yas an uncle Lloyd film
i am already more hopeful
#Monsterdon

And The End!

Thank you #monsterdon for voice overs, writing interludes, poor Scots accents, and an over heated smoke machine.

Stay off the moors and have a good night.

Till next time! Thanks for all the toots and thank you @Taweret for hosting!!

I totally tuned out the ending. And missed most of the "plot". The only reason I was awake for this movie was the accidental name form 4-5PM today...

#Monsterdon

@kcarr2015 Well, that will teach us not to lock up! #Monsterdon

@JoeWynne no wonder they had a beef with Earth and Kirk... #Monsterdon

The moral of the story is that one should avoid being seduced by black and white productions from the 1950s and see if we can get back to an era where they could afford actual effects and stuff #monsterdon

Thanks again to @miru for the #Monsterdon stream!!

Ehhh. Melancholia was a better movie.

#monsterdon

You'd better believe if I had a gas mask that was the difference between life and death, it would be harder for enemies to turn on and off and my hand would find it in 0.025 nanoseconds rather than creeping towards it like a drugged spider.

#Monsterdon

well #monsterdon, that was something. over bf I knew it. don't think I'll be getting "da boogie" out of my head for some time.

#monsterdon Planet Claire >>>> Planet X

I'm sure some aliens could still make it here if they jumped at the right time when the planets are close enough.

#Monsterdon

This movie technically had a denouement, however brief. It was several lines of utter pablum, but it was a denouement. #monsterdon

So aside from having some advanced bits of materials science lying around and the knowledge that you can somehow make a mockery of gravity, nothing happened?

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

@Taweret yay thanks for MONSTERDON!

#monsterdon

Is it true no one will know what happened here?

Hell, I don't know what happened here.

#monsterdon

The Enid #monsterdon

So we'll just stop the alien, and cancel his ray that tells the aliens moving into earth's orbit "hey we're right here" and if we kill the alien, there's no ray and the aliens that are piloting a planet like a spaceship will have to go, "Oh fuck, we missed our window."

If I'm summarizing this fuckery appropriately.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

planet stops for ice cream and a magazine en route
#Monsterdon

Thanks everyone! The movie was kind of a snooze, but this was fun. #Monsterdon

#ManFromPlanetX
#Monsterdon

He has until 11:00 and his best plan is to sit down and write about the Man from Planet X. Must be a screenwriter.

Aw. A nice gentle wrap up, rather than the usual abrupt wrap up.

#monsterdon

"Frightened".

Right.

#monsterdon #manfromplanetx

"It is true that no one will ever know what happened here" I for one sure wish I could forget about it. #Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

The chemistry between these two is inorganic #monsterdon

The Giant Lawn Dart disappears in a puff of smoke!

Planet X make a casual (and impossible) loop in the sky, cause a minor landslide.

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Using an externally mounted plastic quarter-turn valve from Home Depot™️ as the main control of your life support turns out to be suboptimal #Monsterdon

@jmelesky We prefer to call it "playing the trumpet!" #Monsterdon

@Taweret wasn't she zombie rayed?

#monsterdon

Well. That climax was very -- anti. #monsterdon

Clarinets! #monsterdon

"I'm so glad it's still here." "And still ours, Jane!" #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon okay, I'm putting this on my list of movies with wildly inappropriate soundtracks.

That last scene was a little like the nuke testing video, minus the goggles.
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👽 👨 🪐 ❌ 🚀 😱

awww bye bye planet X!

Eh, just out for a joy ride #monsterdon

Now two earth men have killed him. #Monsterdon

Meers, com`ere!
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

The planet - it's whooshing!
#monsterdon

planet got the zoomies!
#monsterdon

I do enjoy how you could see the stars through the planet.

Quality work, SFX team.

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

Planet X incoming #monsterdon

not close enough to see what's happening at the ship, but close enough to aim at it with a bazooka? 🥴
#monsterdon

I was going to redact my earlier joke about the spaceship looking like a vibrator for inaccuracy, but you know what, vibrators come in a variety of shapes so I'm technically correct

anyway looks like this #monsterdon is about to wrap up

There's a lot of shooting in the moors where no one can see anything.
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👽 👨 🪐 ❌ 🚀 😱

why did the Aliens make their doors so little?

It is a creepy as hell face in that helmet. #Monsterdon

semi-automatic bazooka?

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Oh no. It blew up.

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

The could probably just break the fishbowl with a rock. #Monsterdon

OMG, the Rocky Outcrop died!

#Monsterdon

Oh *now* they think of shooting at the defenseless schlub #monsterdon

Okay some ✅ Blinky Lights there.

#Monsterdon

Well, that was weird. Okay, planets back to normal. Back to 1950's America. #Monsterdon

@moira This is that beer commercial again? #Monsterdon

Hey that effect was... above the standard I had set for this film. #monsterdon

He died as he lived, a shameless exploiter.

#monsterdon #manfromplanetx

Anyway, we started blasting. #monsterdon

So the ice planet can be maneuvered to move close to earth for the purpose of invasion, but you can't just put it in an orbit around our sun, to melt the ice planet because--what the fuck

#Monsterdon

I do like the Bauhaus aesthetic of alien's spaceship #monsterdon

Oh the Manlet from Plan X isn't dead just yet.
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Oh, so this is gonna end just like Grizzly.

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

Hey! They brought their Bear Bazooka! #Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

"yeah just play like the first quarter of the explosion, that's enough."

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#monsterdon Scientific de-valvulation..

Oh snap, the aliens turned their planet into a #WanderingEarth!

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TDII5IkI3Y

they held their breath, how utterly alien of them. no way any scientist could have guessed that.
#Monsterdon

The clutched fist of joy

The creature has turned its own valve

#Monsterdon

so they're gonna invade a planet where they can't breathe the atmosphere

and the locals can be mind controlled for like, ten minutes

and they easily overpower you... multiple times?

this is a bad plan #monsterdon

#Monsterdon so if he could just do that, then why didn't he… oh fuckit. I give up.

More Valve action than your Steam library

#Monsterdon

oooh the alien deflates if not continuously resupplied with helium, no wonder they can't understand any

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

@lysdexic Almost a palendrome? #Monsterdon

Oh. I see. That rotating thing with concentric circles. It's a Target.

#Monsterdon

Nice fist acting there #Monsterdon

His head should just inflate and deflate when the knob is turned.

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

oops, big alien mad.

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon 👽 👨 🪐 ❌ 🚀 😱

OH NO HIS FINGERS ARE WIGGLY
