Echoey voiceover sez what? #monsterdon

Those credits were riveting.

#Monsterdon

A very chill observatory. What's in that pipe? #Monsterdon

Fog

Bare tree branches

Distant tower

Moooood

#Monsterdon

okay someone's modelmaking is genuinely ambitious

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Colorized in medias res in a Scottish castle?
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Oh, we've got the colourized version running here. I think they used up their allotment of green pixels already.

#monsterdon

Oops! Technical difficulties, starting slightly late... coming shortly! #monsterdon

It's only a model. #Monsterdon

from the beach, to the castle! #monsterdon

  ❌ TRIVIA FROM PLANET X 👽🌌🌫️

Who needs to film in Scotland when you can drive to the Hal Roach Studios in atmospheric Culver City and use the sets of Joan of Arc (1948)? Ingrid Bergman was in it!

Now all you need is fog! American audiences will never know the difference.

#Monsterdon Ellie said "they should have sent a poet". She didn't say, "Send an emo reporter."

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

We're only in the credits but we're building up to something.

Raymond Bond: James Bond's forgotten cousin

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Can’t get much more mid-century than 1951. #Monsterdon

yeah those special effects really are weeks

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Now playing the man from planet X (formely twitter) #monsterdon

Whew! I made it just in time!

It's okay, everyone, you can go ahead and start.

Mid-Century Films -- I Wonder if this will be a thinly veiled reference to the cold war? #Monsterdon

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that version of the MGM start #Monsterdon

Cue the over-used lightning bolt!

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Got some ambitious font work on these credits.

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon

Okay, that was a nice use of the MGM logo.

Usually it's Warner Brothers who are that creative.

This is the most mid century modern film.
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Aaand we’re off. #monsterdon

Score is big, but not too big, at least so far. Not sure why the title and credits have rivets in the font, though.

What a goofy typeface for the credits #monsterdon

And we're off! A BLAST of lighting and ... right, credits. #monsterdon

DIY font
#monsterdon

OK, my fellow filmbuff masochists. You ready to throw down with a classic of midcentury scifi?

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX1951

Promising music and title font...

#Monsterdon #ManPlanetX

Love the font!

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

you’re telling me films from this century are mid? #monsterdon

Well built credits

#monsterdon
#ManFromPlanetX

Ooh, movie starts with a voice over. That's never a good sign. #Monsterdon

I'll be watching and listening, but won't be commenting heavily for a bit. I'm still in the middle of a pickling project.
#Monsterdon

And, we're off! #Monsterdon begins!

#Monsterdon

GO GO GO GO!!!!!!

The Man from Planet X (1951) #monsterdon now playing on https://miru.miyaku.media :miyaku:

It's time for the "weirdest visitor the Earth has ever seen!" Press play, it's a short one tonight! Go! Go! Go!

Hmmm ... opens with a pan out from the left eye of the MGM lion - wasn't that used in another of our Monsterdon movies recently?

What an interesting choice of font. With my glasses off I thought those were little poppies or hearts.

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

WE GOT ALL THE B&W SAUCERS SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGN!!!
