From IMDb: An uptight, leather-clad female alien, armed with a ray gun and accompanied by a menacing robot, comes to Earth to collect Earth's men as breeding...
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
now 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
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
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
WHY ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING BUT THE MARTIAN DEVIL GIRL #monsterdon
good lord, there's a freaking ufo out there!!!!! #monsterdon
if i was in this movie it would last 5 seconds because my ass wants to get abducted and being abducted by extremely hot latex suit devil girl is just about the best case scenario #monsterdon
lytta 
@jonny look we don't know she doesn't want some willing human servants. none of these characters have asked
@lytta if they had just had a bigass war of the sexes then it seems like willing and submissive participant would be the only way you would survive and probably live a decent life on mars, like 'hey i am not like the other men you just killed all of i am here to learn and stuff from the lesbian overworld' #monsterdon
