we have one line so far in the new song

that's a wrap baby, we has a single!

he can't even carry a tune in a bucket

never
#Monsterdon

@diazona @lysdexic

The Phantom of the Rock Opera?

#Monsterdon

A couple of times @ryan put together like a re-cut musical #Monsterdon montage like some trippy parallel universe MTV thing it was fantastic!

@diazona @combatwombat @SRLevine @JoeWynne

#Monsterdon It's either Dr Manhattan or Optimus Prime.

whoa i totally didn't recognize William Schallert as the bearded bad guy!

#monsterdon

@oli The trained reporter was was distracted by the pretty girl. No exposition. Just the chat by the seashore. #Monsterdon.

what what the fuck, did he sing that thug into NOT stabbing him?
did i just see that?
#Monsterdon

just those 3 notes are better than that "people got to roll" song from last night, Jagger

#monsterdon #WrongManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon That's Not Love That's Gas would be the best relationship book.

@jonny First they use cheap manual valves on their life support then they use ChatGPT Mind Control #IgnoreAllPreviousInstructions

Planet X deserved their fate IMO #Monsterdon

Todd dances like a grandma stuck in a mud puddle
#Monsterdon

You know what really fucked off at the end?

The trained reporter's narrative monologue that liked to provide exposition. Where was it at the end? Shouldn't we have gotten a wrap up?

#Monsterdon

@littlemiao I think the alien didn't try communicating out of sheer embarrassment of crashing on this dump of a planet #monsterdon

@Lazarou @cocaine_owlbear The only thing keeping it from being a monster classic is that it was just too early.

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

my mullet told me all about you Todd
#Monsterdon

@brooke Maybe the scout alien was deliberately inept and helpless, to test how humanity would treat it. It got blasted, so the aliens moved on to the next, friendlier planet. #monsterdon

@oli She probably doesn't believe what Dr. Mears said. She knew he was a wrong'un. #Monsterdon

I think this film is a good example of why I normally root for the bears, and giant lizards and men from planet X. #monsterdon Humans are just horrible.

@saucerlost It would have been better spent cooking a haggis #monsterdon

@bebadefabo If you need the browser to mute tags, that would explain the mystery of why some people haven't been able to mute the #monsterdon hash tag.

🎶 grill you got got me now🎶
#Monsterdon

that fight was so fake, I almost expected to see Steven Seagal

#monsterdon #WrongManFromPlanetX

#monsterdon That’s… over. Okay, moving on. Mmmmm, lets have some dessert!

@moira "It happens all the time, stop whining" #Monsterdon

Overall, the screenplay was just not great. Not so laughably bad as, say, an Ed Wood script, but full of extreme vagueries gesturing towards meaning but never actually reaching it.

Structurally, it was … relatively sound, but undercut by the bad writing. It was difficult to build tension when the lines are so obtuse and self-congratulatory.

Finally, the frame story that opened the movie simply doesn’t make sense with how the denouement played out.

That said, I didn’t have a problem with the primitive alien costume or the limited special effects. The inconsistent art styles were a bit of a turnoff, but excusable for the budget. But that script was just tough to hear. #monsterdon

@strangefour it was

@moira wait what is a tau zero?

(checks wiki) I guess it is a book I haven't read....

#monsterdon

@JoeWynne keep https://miru.miyaku.media/ in your bookmarks for #Monsterdon After Dark sometimes it gets a bit unhinged but always fun if you can stay up that late

#Monsterdon Wait, there's another film?

And it's over! Thas monsterdon for you ​:neocat_pat_woozy:​

-FIN #monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

Well that was a movie. It looked and acted like a movie. It wasn't really bad. It wasn't really good. I will have forgotten everything about it by next week.
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#monsterdon And the planet fucked off back into deep space. The end.

this guy is not an actor by any standards
was he hired cos he is "good looking"?

by good looking i mean doughy with a face too angular
#Monsterdon

@TerryHancock ah yes, whitey in space, i kept looking for riff opportunities too, but well

you know that one was better because it had a giant space slide

this one needed a giant space slide in the worst way

also maybe a bear

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

The local PC in the background chewing scenery when the Inspector arrives and is talking to the journalist 🤣

#Monsterdon

@paco Wish I had this at the start of the film. #Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Alien - check
Boogie doins - check
Tartan - check
Bazooka - check and check
Quality sets - bzzzzt
#monsterdon

wow that night club needs to call Dalton from the Double Deuce.

#monsterdon #WrongManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon

Actually, "When Worlds Collide" was also 1951. Was this whole "rogue planet" plotline an intentional ripoff?

@cherizilla same unfortunately... better luck to us both next time! Thanks for the card anyway

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Hey, where's the link to the double feature?

#Monsterdon

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

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

I really didn’t expect a valve to play such a critical role in tonight’s plot.

#Monsterdon

This movie should have been called The Planet of the Baskervilles.

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Next on https://miru.miyaku.media/

"A Troma Team Release"

YES!

#Monsterdon

gonna be singing Jungle Boogie for a while, again. #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!!

All this extra time to get going with my Boogie doings. #Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

@ryan Space Freaks from Planet Mutoid has no runtime on IMDb, no torrents on PB, nothing on usenet. Where did you find that :D #monsterdon

Hey, since according to the professor the only difference between space and water is density, the planet effectively fucked off into the sea! #monsterdon

“The planet!” #Monsterdon

They've done nothing but assault this poor alien since they've been on earth! #monsterdon

Ehhh. Melancholia was a better movie.

#monsterdon

"knowledge would only bring more fear" this journalist is a dumbass #monsterdon

The end! Let’s look sexy together. #monsterdon

That planet is secretly the moon from Space 1999. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon well fam, that certainly was a movie.

And we watched it.

And… yeah.

Anyway, goodnight! That was fun, let's do it again next week!

VOTE ALLIGATOR!

Wow! That one was wonderfully.... short. Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting! Have a great week Beautiful Mutants. #Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

How can no one know that another planet swiped the Earth? 😆

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

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

#Monsterdon

- Fin -
#monsterdon

Who knows, perhaps the greatest curse or the greatest blessing is... they never even kissed!

And that's it everyone -- thanks for coming! What an odd duck that film was.

See y'all next week for more #monsterdon -- big thanks to @Taweret for running our event, @Cherizilla for the bingo, @JoeWynne for the trivia and cocktails and @ryan for the streams!

that ending kinda reminded me of the end to Crack in the World #monsterdon

The Enid #monsterdon

yaaaaaaay eat dirt, Mears!

"Fools", says the dumbass who abused an alien. #monsterdon

"None of this would have happened had Dr Mears not attacked the alien"

#Monsterdon

"if only it wasn't capitalism!" and THE END.

#monsterdon

The chemistry between these two is inorganic #monsterdon

And Planet X fucked off into space. Which isn't much different from the sea. It's just a difference of density.
#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

so they just shot him? df #monsterdon

@floatybirb But all that is Mears' explanation, which could be all lies. #Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

"We'll always have this backdrop." #monsterdon

Two things:

1. That was pretty close to getting bazooka'd, awesome.

2. Were Mears' last words "Whoops?"

#Monsterdon

The true hero of this movie was the costume department #Monsterdon

Planet: full speed ahead!

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

"How does it feel knowing that you just doomed an entire planetary civilization to certain death?"

#monsterdon

"Running out on me again, huh?"

#Monsterdon

Oh no! Mears has taken friendly fire! From a bazooka!! As if here were a mere murderous grizzly bear!

#monsterdon

The planet - it's whooshing!
#monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai yeah I just wish they were shooting at literally anyone else in the movie

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

"We used up all of our planet-moving juice! That was ALL WE HAD!"

#Monsterdon

'And the moral is: One out of two scientists are traitors.'

#monsterdon
#TheManFromPlanetX

Sadly, I missed #Monsterdon this week because of a trip to the ER

Everybody duck - it's the planet!

#monsterdon

More like Smears, amirite? #monsterdon

Honestly, I don't blame the soldiers for shooting here.

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Mears, honestly, go do whatever you want, you weren't worth it.

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

The journalist tells the greedy scientist and the other workers to stop working on leave, which was so easy I wonder why no one else tried it yet. Perhaps no one had a sufficient mustache to try that yet.

Afterward, the alien comes out and starts punching the journalist, but the journalist subdues him by turning off his air and then runs away, the girl with him.

#monsterdon

@ottaross Looks like it's better when he grabs his own knob... 😂

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I'm guessing the reason the Devil Girls from Mars killed all their men and needed earth ones is theirs all had haids the size of two men. #TheManFromPlanetX

Dr Mears comes back for one last grope...

#Monsterdon

The knob on the alien's suit is the ventilation shaft on the Death Star

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

They murdered the alien, and he really just wanted a cup of sugar.
