Wow, these credits were made before the invention of the flush rivet! No wonder the film's so slow!

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Promising music and title font...

@JoeWynne

G'nite!

#Monsterdon

ok i might need to turn to booze to numb my earholes, sadly i do not have the amount required for full aural numbness
#Monsterdon

@lysdexic

They don't *look* purple 😕

#Monsterdon sterdon

in transit
the song written by couriers and sung by a bag of walnuts
#Monsterdon

But we **don't** want more people to hear his ~~fragrancy~~ frequency

#Monsterdon

Bugs Bunny pranked him by turning his helmet into a popcorn machine
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon That is a vile mix.

oh noes ruffian alert
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Oh no. Don't hurt George!

Mob boss should put a horse's head in Tyler's bed to get him to **leave** the music industry

#Monsterdon

@lysdexic

It will save the planet as humanity unites to hunt down and destroy all vestiges of the song.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I. Hear. The. Song. It. Sucks.

@JoeWynne

The name for the *planet* is Mutoid. The name for the *inhabitants* is Mutoidese. Show a little respect, please.

#Monsterdon

"What happens if I fail?"

"Well, then, we'll all just sail on past and die."

"That's it? No invasion anyway?"

"You should know full well that we have banned planning for the future!"

"Why am I doing this, then?"

"For Monsterdon of the 21st century!"

"Hail Monsterdon!"

#Monsterdon

hoping his notepad combusts here
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I like the Bill and Ted version better.

'School of Third Rock from the Sun'

#Monsterdon

"How will it cause mankind to destroy itself?"

"With its own tunes. Harsh vibes, man"

[Setup for battle of the bands finale]

#Monsterdon

clearly an alien as they can't use contractions
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The pitch meeting for this probably had some interesting snacks.

Okay, low budget, but with some rich narrative set up. Only one woman--pulled off stage early; the proto techbro was well signaled; the alien was eerie and ultimately successful. I’m content. Thanks, @Taweret @JoeWynne and @cherizilla
for another fun night. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX if you have scientific degravitation that can change your planet's orbit, i feel like your world "turning to ice" is something you can fix without arranging an invasion

It’s nice when a space invaders movie acknowledges that humans being antagonistic dickheads just might have prompted things. #Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

poor thing only knows 150 words and 4 notes
#Monsterdon

What's he mumble-singing?

"Do you have some peanuts?"

#Monsterdon

@diazona

Here ya go!

#Monsterdon

the analogies in this are wild
love is like a kick to the baws
aim right and you are down for a long time??
#Monsterdon

@JoeWynne @klu9 She is also in Cherry 2000, very fun. Would make a good #monsterdon movie ( @Taweret ). It's even on Tubi https://tubitv.com/movies/312171/cherry-2000

@jonny
Honestly, it is sounding a lot more like that "invasion" of refugees to me.

#Monsterdon

i dont wanna!
Todd the whiny whiner
#Monsterdon

anyway another movie successfully launched into space

it's planet x's problem now

good job team and thanks as always to @Taweret as always for hosting

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

@SRLevine @diazona @msh @JoeWynne The double features are usually a bit too obscure and low budget even for regular #monsterdon
Besides, we have done some movies a few times (see https://monsterdon-replay.gerlach.dev/)

[Switches to window silhouette]

OMG this is so classy!

#Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial Now the whole movie makes sense 😹 #Monsterdon

@Terencio @strangefour Yeah, for a dancehall scene they could add #monsterdon

So if she' been looking for him for 200 years... how age-inappropriate is this relationship?

#Monsterdon

@SRLevine @JoeWynne after dark generally in the "late night" sense not the "lewd alt profile" sense :blobcheeky: #Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial @strangefour #monsterdon

I kinda liked her haircut too. If she'd traded in that plaid jacket for something black and leather she woulda looked awesome.

@littlemiao Apparently the alien liked to breathe but didn't absolutely have to #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Strange women wandering around in alleys is no way to run a country!

@strangefour The most salient memory I expect to retain was that sort of plaid-like thing Enid was wearing for a few scenes #monsterdon

now the iceskater street crew are here
time to rumble
#Monsterdon

faces of a hunk
confusion
horny
confusion
action
BURP
#Monsterdon

For the record, I think his last word was "Moors."

lol

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon oic it's live.

@Terencio

It's certainly dark enough for unnecessary sunglasses

#Monsterdon

I felt a responsibility to warn other prospective viewers from the menace of watching this film, so posted my review at #letterboxd https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/the-man-from-planet-x/ #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Thanks! How far in are we?

@lysdexic

The "after party", movie showing on https://miru.miyaku.media/

#Monsterdon

Was there a decent remake that like added a plot or something?
#monsterdon #themanfromplanetx

listen to my choon cat

CAT: glowers and leaves you

#Monsterdon

I had to pause it for reasons so I am still stuck in this. I must have missed something because I thought the alien died halfway through the movie, yet here we are. #Monsterdon

Well, that was... quite the first #monsterdon

But my server survived! I could barely keep up with watching the hashtag, but the server itself did fine. Did much better than this movie's plot did.

Thank you to @Taweret@timeloop.cafe for hosting!

@JoeWynne Where is my Danny Devito "no no" link?! #Monsterdon

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.

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

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

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!!

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

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

@Taweret yay thanks for MONSTERDON!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

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

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

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

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

@Taweret wasn't she zombie rayed?

#monsterdon

Clarinets! #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
