LOL - are we talkin bout 50s sex or the movie?
Or perhaps it's a message to the soviets 7 years 9 months ago -

The way humans (well, Americans) behave in Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, we definitely deserved to lose the war. No amount of earnest infodumping while puffing on a Reed Richards pipe is going to change my mind about that. Sure, there are misunderstandings, but as soon as the aliens walk of their saucers, they get gunned down, no questions asked. We deserved everything we got, and more. As with most B-movies of the '50s there's a lot of talking and explaining things, while the audience waits for the money shots, in this case, Harryhausen's iconic UFO attack on Washington, D.C. and quality destruction porn as the saucers start falling out of the sky. It's interesting to see Harryhausen's effects used for something other than proper "creatures", but the saucers and explosions are no less impressive. It's just too bad the script doesn't know who the aggressors actually are in this drama. 3 years 8 months ago
