Theme
This week's theme is Retro Sci-Fi!
Specifically any science fiction from the 40's - 60's. It's all about clunky robots, giant computers with dials, ray guns, and all the other old cheesy sci-fi tropes you can think of :)
There's a bonus point if the image matches the media of that era, for example by including cheap effects, obvious costumes, blurry film or anything else you can think of.
Prompt for post image:
a 50s cinemascope movie still of a clunky robot with an blinking lights on it's chest, in a fake looking space ship, a pilot is flying the ship, scene is shot with 8mm film --ar 16:9 --v 6.0
The image turned out better than how I intended :)

1940s sci-fi movie poster, in which alien spaceships are abducting 2 New York pedestrians via a luminescent beam. people on the street abandon their cars in panic as they flee the spaceship. Giant humanoid iron robots with a threatening appearance and segmented legs herd citizens towards the spaceship. the poster showes the movie title "alien robot attack!" in dynamic text.This has so much going on in here. I love the person being abducted in the center. Also, the idea of an Alien Root Attack is intriguing :)
Thanks! I couldn't get dall-e to stop making the street super wide and absolutely packing it full of people. Where are these people all coming from?!?!
This is one of the only results where it was a human being abducted instead of the robots, no matter what I prompted, so I just cut my losses and committed to it lol
