people in the 50s really couldn't conceive of any situtation where you wouldn't smoke

i just want to note with 5 minutes left that this movie has absolutely zero metaphor, subtext, or anything going on aside from "kill the monster." they have done literally nothing with the "this guy is on trial for killing his crewmates" plot they started with. #monsterdon

So what exactly do you think IS "beyond" space? Is it, like Space's underlayment or something? #Monsterdon

Yet again, a movie where I have trouble telling people apart because they're all wearing the same outfit and all have the same hairstyle. >_> #Monsterdon

3. This toot from strangefour with the Pleiades (strangefour@retro.pizza) had 4 replies.

This isn't a horrible movie, it's just very basic. Easy to see why it became the template for Alien and other space monster movies.
