jonny (nonvenomous)Alright, movie from 1954, im expecting like half a dozen transfers and cuts. Anyone already scouted out the good one? #monsterdon
edit: the default search result from archive.org seems good enough https://archive.org/details/devil-girl-from-mars-1954

Ben Ramsey@jonny I identified a few here. I'm using the upscaled AI-colorized one. https://don.monster/@ramsey/113778339539289829 #Monsterdon

For tonight's #Monsterdon, these are the best quality downloads I found available on Archive.org: 1. Black and white: https://archive.org/details/devil-girl-from-mars-1954 2. Colorized: https://archive.org/details/devil-girl-from-mars-1954_202401 3. Colorized with AI, a little grainy but this appears to due increased sharpness and clarity applied with upscaling, very quiet audio: https://archive.org/details/devil-girl-from-mars-1954-color
γΉγ©γ³γγ’γΌγ@jonny hereβs what i used for my source, too late for me to re-up, seemed good from spot-checking
@ryan scene releases nowadays with the 20GB rip and FLAC audio for something that was only released in 480p on dvd lol, didn't forsee the ratio economy getting totally out of whack to favor larger encodes back when we were first arguing about ratioless trackers in the BTN days
absolutely incredible endorsement. so bad it inspired some of the best sci-fi ever written out of spite #monsterdon #OctaviaButler
edit: excuse me that's speculative fiction
@jonny Maybe that last line. #Monsterdon
Lazarou Monkey Terror πππnow here we go, some actual trivia: https://beladraculalugosi.wordpress.com/category/john-c-mather/
linked to from https://scifist.wordpress.com/2016/10/21/devil-girl-from-mars/ in describing how wikipedia and other sources list the movie as coming from a stage play, but actually it was written and produced in 10 days when they wrapped filming another project early and still had paid time lmao
edit: this scifist wordpress blogpost is actually extremely good, definitely worth a read
incredible how despite all the search engines being totally broken, the original design of the web still works: documents linking between each other are undefeated for durable information discoverability
Rob Ricci@jonny excellent, will get in 75 minutes of meditation
David Zaslavsky@jonny Rarely is it so directly confirmed though
that's another first scene #BechdelPass, two women talking about space and a devil girl #monsterdon
sincerely any movie whose protagonist is escaped from prison or sheltering a prison escapee instantly rises like 100 points in my book #monsterdon
i was warned that the music in this punches way above the weight class and like, wow. perfectly situationally responsive with that bassoon or oboe slinky thing for the wood carrying guy #monsterdon
okayyyyyyeeee are all the principles assembled and adequately characterizeddddddd because we are burning devil girl daylight #monsterdon
why are they eating out of a trophy you would get for winning the ancient grecian olympics #monsterdon
YES YES YES INCREDIBLE SAUCER A+ EVERYTHING #monsterdon
@jonny I know, I'm sold, going to Mars
who cares about that freaking UFO there's a guy that should be subject to the violence of the state!!!!! #monsterdon
why did they land the UFO and then no UFO things happened and why is anyone talking about anything but the UFO #monsterdon
i could do with like 20 or 30 more shots of the escaped convict guy jumping out from behind curtains and stuff #monsterdon
trying to put myself in the mindset of a 1950's guy where basically every flying object is an unidentified flying object to justify how they keep acting like everything is normal #monsterdon
the parameters of what an extraterrestrial lifeform must be capable of has dramatically changed since the 1950's, where then it was plausible for spaceships to be just like normal rocket craft made by species that can make trivial miscalculations and end up in scotland, but now it wouldn't read at all outside of a comedy for an alien to make a mistake like that because we understand that aliens would have to develop technology well outside our understanding of basic physics to travel to earth #monsterdon
earthlings: this will be a turning point in human civilization
martians: we came to fuck one of your guys
#monsterdon
martians: we came to fuck one of your guys
#monsterdon
what would a martian dominatrix use as like a derogatory term for earthlings and why does my mind want her to call them all 'honkies' #monsterdon

BruceMade in 10 days. Nice! #Monsterdon
strangefour with the Pleiades@jonny So the Devil Girl is hot and thirsty. Nice. #Monsterdon
TheREALPaulJohnson@jonny Kind of like how Penicillin came from mold.
Ludwig Vielfrass@jonny And she was 100% right! Butler was one of the best SF writers ever, and she was taken from us far too soon.
