BIRDDOG-1 is a great call-sign for what is presumably a reconnaissance plane, although it seems to be used as a radio repeater… to relay a message like 1000 ft?

5 minutes, movie… this meeting does not have a lot of elbow room to work with, unless it turns out to be the start of a romance after all

starting to suspect my Internet Archive copy of the movie may be truncated…
Edit: Yes, it *is* truncated.

Securing my #MonsterdonBingo at literally the last moment with Frank's Act of Sacrifice to destroy the Martian spacecraft
and of course marking off "An Abrupt Ending" which became very clear as the movie carried on

️Cool eyeball
Certainly a way to make a first impression on the viewer. Can this movie pay it off?

'I want to see across the entire EM spectrum'
translated from dingdong as:
"I wish to increase the input to my visual cortex by an order of magnitude."
(assuming, as this writing would, that the density of cells sensitive to the other parts of the spectra were the same as in the visual spectra. I suppose you could get that down to more like 2-3x as much input by changing the sampling density. still.)

Sci-fi movies forgot how to have chemistry stuff just randomly arranged on screen. It's a shame.
Cute monkey actor eyedrops. Hope they treated the animals okay in this one, based on what I know is coming from the graphic novel adaptation (which I think was just… the entire events of the movie)

"What did he see?"
Well, let's find out. But first, a series of wacky mad vision scientist adventures, beginning with a nice, healthy cigarette.

The writing is really good so far, and the performances are supporting its quality. Even this guy flirting with his… funder? is like an interesting interaction, and thankfully not a skeevy one.
Yea, well, we'll get there. It's a 60s flick, after all.

"Alright, open your eyes"
There's so much foreshadowing in this story. Chekhov's normal biology. Things that you wouldn't think about as foreshadowing at first.

Pacing is tight. We're already past "oh yea, the bandages".
I wonder if we'll get any insomnia in this. I don't think the comic touched on that, but that's one of the things that really stuck out to me about the implications of the premise.
