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

#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

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

Quality work, SFX team.

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

planet got the zoomies!
#monsterdon

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

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

#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

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

He died as he lived, a shameless exploiter.

#monsterdon #manfromplanetx

Anyway, we started blasting. #monsterdon

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

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

oops, big alien mad.

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon 👽 👨 🪐 ❌ 🚀 😱

OH NO HIS FINGERS ARE WIGGLY

Tragically, the victims will never again respond to a person with a Scottish accent #monsterdon

Now, bad guy gets his come uppence, and we're outta here. #Monsterdon

da boogie got da boogie he ain't done yet #monsterdon

Oh, the mind control ray just lets you tell anyone mind-controlled what to do. Sure, that's cool.

#Monsterdon

I would simply have designed my military space suit with a gas valve that the user could operate, and an enemy in hand to hand combat couldn't #monsterdon

Goodnight sweet prince of space.
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Maybe the sound designer had tinnitus and just compensated too hard. #monsterdon

@ottaross #checksnotes is that a fight? #Monsterdon

Turn that knob and make the alien smell his own farts!
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

@arrjay unparallel lines intersect

#monsterdon

choke out the #boogeydoings put with its ball valve!

#monsterdon

How can the alien see to walk when his
light is aimed at his face?
#Monsterdon

Really no need to save Mears... #Monsterdon

Chekhov's air supply valve!

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon 👽 👨 🪐 ❌ 🚀 😱

The alien's gas guage thingy is also just the turny handle from our outdoor hose spigot

intergalactic murderer!!!!
#Monsterdon

And that, boys and girls, is why we don't put valves on our breathing tubes.

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

#monsterdon This alien is going to have to forgive quite a bit.

Luckily our hero had the element of surprise on his side. Wait a minute, I hate this guy #monsterdon

Funny how the fight always comes down to wrestling with the valve.

#Monsterdon

"Foolish human! Don't you know our valve technology is...light...years....beyond....yo........[death rattle]"

#monsterdon #manfromplanetx

Having an external ball valve on the alien's suit seems to really be a strategic error.

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

wrench it

wrench it good

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

The Man from Planet X is climbing down the outside of the Giant Lawn Dart - is the hatch on the very top?

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon 👽 👨 🪐 ❌ 🚀 😱

I'll just note that Mr Alien X was not able apparently to breathe our atmosphere that was kind of a big deal so it's not clear why the magnetic scientific gravitation doohickey should've picked earth?
