Two moons!

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

I was starting to wonder if this was Dr. Moreau in space, but it’s starting to seem more like Dr. Doolittle in space.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Kitty!

#Monsterdon

Ah space sailors. #monsterdon

This version of Bringing up Baby is pretty damn good!

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou

Honestly, Altair is an unlikely place for indigenous life. Too short a lifespan, I think.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet #Astronomy #Astrobiology

I'd love to be able to pet a tiger. #monsterdon

Planet of Giant Purple Broccoli

#Monsterdon

Doe! A deer!

#monsterdon

Okay, but where did the deer and the tiger come from? Di the Bellerophon bring them from Earth?

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

An actual wolf whistle, great work 1956. #monsterdon

How Robby can make coffee with those T-Rex arms is an engineering marvel #Monsterdon

The Krell took a load of animals from Earth to be their pets, but what did they do with the belligerent and horny man-apes?

#Monsterdon

BAMBI… IN… SPAAAAAAAACE!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Bringing up Baby on Altair..

Why are there earth animals?!

#Monsterdon

girl you blew the whistle you better got some goddamn leafs for us to chomp #monsterdon

"SPACE DEER!"

#Monsterdon

The Forbidden Kitty!

#monsterdon
#ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

50s toxic masculinity is probably the most heckle-able part of this movie. It gets worse.

"How lucky I am, all three of you..."

Oh, she's poly, that's gonna come in handy. #Monsterdon

I like that Robbie looks lke a full analog robot
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon okay. Even if you're heterosexual there was nothing stopping you from having women on your team and like pairing up or something??????

She's only 19 and has never known a man

#monsterdon

robot coffee! #monsterdon

Anne Francis alert!

#Monsterdon

Leslie rightfully suspicious. you're Morbin' charms won't work on me, sucker. #monsterdon

Oh. Of course he has a beautiful daughter.

#Monsterdon

"charming feminine touches" thanks 1956

#monsterdon

We got this bingo square, for sure.

#Monsterdon

How many of us here would like to live like that, with a robot doing all the work, alien secrets to hide from Leslie Neilson...

#Monsterdon

"Succumbed to some dark, mysterious force" he says wearing a dark and mysterious outfit.

#Monsterdon

We shall take our space Nescafe on the linnae.

#Monsterdon

The Laws of Robotics in action. For the first time on film?
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Coffee is served! (Fiddlesticks, I should have prepared a bingo sheet.)

#monsterdon

sounding the interplanetary coffee klaxons #monsterdon

Love how those shutters come down

#Monsterdon

Christ, these SFX are good

#Monsterdon

What kind of dinner host pulls these tricks on their hosts though?

Tormenting his robot as well, dude ain't right....

#Monsterdon

@moira Bond villian lair vibes from this guy. "I built this place to be away from humanity... but I do love a conversation pit." #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I hope Robby DOES topple the house because these people suck

mm, Morb already treating people(-shaped robots) like things. Villain. #monsterdon

theres no way it cooks with those hands

#Monsterdon

Once the cook discovered he couldn't shag the robot, he wasn't interested. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon If that IS stalin they have to watch out because I hear he throws sick watch parties where you get drunk and watch movies until he passes out drunk just like you're in a Frat House (in the USSR)

Morb gone whack by hisself

#monsterdon

Morbius with that 'Thin Steven Seagal' look....

#Monsterdon

So how yall liking serious mode Leslie Neilson?
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Coming from a time of actual (supposedly) robot cars, I understand the sailor's unease....

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

Robbie made them wear their seat belts at a time when US cars weren't even required to have them?

#Monsterdon "It promotes Rust" - typical programmer on mastodon, I see.

He sounds a little bit like Forrest Gump.

#Monsterdon #TheForbiddenPlanet

That's cute that they didn't want to assume race or gender. The future is bright.

#Monsterdon

they/them robot ftw

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Leslie Nielsen, in his first comedic role!
#monsterdon

Tuskin Raiders!

#monsterdon

I like how he makes a mechanical cash register sound when he talks

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon NO it's H.E.R.B.I.E.!!!!

SUB- TONGUES

#Monsterdon

I hope in the real future we get robot servants who look like that

#Monsterdon

it's TREMORS #monsterdon

Space suits not required, apparently

#monsterdon

@blue As far as I know (which admittedly isn't much) bosun is sort of an abbreviation for boatswain? Which is a naval rank, though I'm not sure what job it represents.

#Monsterdon

This is the movie that made Robby a star. #monsterdon

wow, even little bits of dust blowing around? this movie had some skills i guess. #monsterdon

Whoa, is that Oscar Goldman on the crew?

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

I really appreciate the model shots, and I love a good matte painting background! Excellent landing sequence.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

Leslie Neilson's hair is the shiniest hair

Morbius has all the catgirls to himself down there, and doesn't want to share.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Satisfying 'clicks' from those old work surfaces, no silly touchscreens

#Monsterdon

He did warn them from the start…! #Monsterdon

Bitch, we're landing. This isn't a space request.

#Monsterdon

Morbin’ time #monsterdon

Short movie. Dr Morbius says everything's fine, time to go home. #Monsterdon

"The entire planet is mine, go away"

Whiteness in Space!

#Monsterdon

It's Morbin time!

#Monsterdon

JJ Abrams commanding?? and morbius!?

#monsterdon

Oops, got engrossed in viddy games, probably won't make #Monsterdon this week. >.>;

comparing this to the other 50s space movies we've done, there's a surprising lack of lying down in office furniture #monsterdon

Your 'lord' didn't make those worlds fucko....

#Monsterdon

I think the bullfrogs in the pond that borders my apartment are trying to flirt with this soundtrack

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Ooh. Pretty shot of the ship over the corona. Nice! #Monsterdon

Scientist, where is our promised discovery of a hyper-drive?

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon Warm in here? IT'S THE HUMIDITY

ok this set rocks and the costumes too

#monsterdon

No replicator tech, just that dumbass cook. #monsterdon

Oh yeah, get ready for the soundtrack gang. This one is a doozy.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon what is the obsession with Direct Current????????

Eesh, another film where all the guys have the same haircut. :/ #Monsterdon

They're all clones of the same white guy!

#monsterdon

A flying saucer with a breakfast nook has terrific sales appeal, particularly in the midcentury era.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

"Electronic Tonalities"

by Louis and Bebe Barron

Couldn't even call it music!

#ForbiddenPlanet #Monsterdon

Weeee, love these optimistic visions of the future....wish they didn't phrase it as "conquest and colonisation" thought!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon

@jonny don't worry, there is a lot of stuff about it that has aged a bit poorly, like the age gap #Monsterdon

5..4..3..2..1 GOGOGO!
