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

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????????

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.

"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

Electronic film score is on! #monsterdon

Spaaaaaccceeee Tooooonnneeeesss!

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Forbidden Planet (1956) now live on https://miru.miyaku.media #monsterdon

cranking up the sound extra loud for the electronic funk storm ahead...

#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!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#ForbiddenPlanet fails the Bechdel test. Unless Robbie is hiding something, there is no other female in the movie!

@paco @raindrops_and_roses boooooooy howdy

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@raindrops_and_roses You picked the right one to come back for. Last week was…not as good.
#monsterdon

@floatybirb @tankgrrl mmmm... sure, okay. That could work.

I do prefer my version tho' ^_^

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

CBC occasionally airs films of productions from the Stratford Festival, but doesn't seem to have them on CBC Gem. Which is unfortunate, as this version of The Tempest starring Christopher Plummer would make a nice companion piece to tonight's #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Anyone know/remember the Forbidden Planet comics/scifi shop?

@floatybirb @littlemiao yeah me too, it's like, captain neilsen, his Mister Bones amalgam of Bones and Spock, cookie, and a bunch of redshirts.

#Monsterdon

My review on #letterboxd - Weighing this film's groundbreaking achievements, marred by the following flaws: sexism, the ponderous dialogue, the dumb business with Cookie, and the romance plot. I still come up with four and a half stars personally https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/forbidden-planet/ #monsterdon

#monsterdon
the movie's closing credits were a little unsatisfying, so here ya go:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXPW5QV4Ymw

honestly tho

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Id really like to see that on the big screen sometime. Ideally as part of some sort of late night double feature picture show. #Monsterdon

@ohiofi At least _someone_ is asking the important question. #monsterdon

Always gotta have a self destruct device

#Monsterdon

@floatybirb oh yeah, all over the place. and for good reason, I mean, dang.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

So, the next question: What's the second half of the 🎶 science fiction double feature 🎶 ?

#Monsterdon

Thanks again to @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, and all of you for making it fun!

#Monsterdon

@nazokiyoubinbou
Because your sex drive is supercharged when the only guys on the planet are an asexual robot and your dad!
#Monsterdon

surprise part of watching this on a european blue-ray is how many copyright warning languages you get at the end of the film

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Thanks folks! Love the opportunity to hang out with y'all #Monsterdon

I wish the robot toasted. humanity didn't deserve it, I bet it got corrupted and started the cylons
#monsterdon

@Rozzychan Yeah, I still don't get why she's apparently spontaneously in love with that dude when every single conversation was... not exactly riveting and she couldn't possibly have looked more bored.

#Monsterdon

Now you can go watch Irwin Allen mine all these ideas for the early (serious, pre-camp) Lost in Space and Time Tunnel!

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Really nice visual effects, they held up. The single woman character who is constantly sexualised and bossed around and defined by her relationships to men, not so much. #Monsterdon

The movie would be better if we could scrape out the misogyny and horny dudes with a sharpened spoon, but the premise, props, sets ideas and special effects lived on in every scifi movie and series you've seen since then
#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

The door effect!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#ForbiddenPlanet #Monsterdon

Back when end credits were REALLY short!

Anyway, that was a most excellent #Monsterdon! As ever, thanks @Taweret for hosting, @ryan for the stream, @Cherizilla for the bingo, and everyone for the witty commentary. 🤖 🪐 🧙

Anyone else find Alta's situation creepy?

She better be bunking with Robbie! I don't care how much lube the chef promises.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon well, that was fucking awesome. Absolutely a classic. Some parts are a little hard to watch nowadays, but still.

Anyway, goodnight everyone! That was fun, let's do it again sometime 😁

Gasp! Is she wearing... shoes? Alta really is ready for a change.

#Monsterdon

The planet exploding effect works well enough.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

I have a feeling that Alta will never be fond of shoes just based on her apparent upbringing

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon And there goes your dad and everything you've ever known. Sex?

I'm pretty sure Freud's id thing had been debunked by the time this movie was made

#monsterdon

@amyfou That's her mourning outfit #monsterdon

The moral of the story is that all science fiction space operas have been riffing on a bunch of eye candy from almost seventy years ago and only film nerds know it #monsterdon

100 million, are you out of your mind!
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon oh good they did bring Robbie

Oh you know that shit was real fire. I don't mean like 🔥, I mean they actually lit stuff on fire for the scene

#Monsterdon

"I said THROW IT not PUSH IT holy shit why are you

we're so fucked now

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

all your science, and you couldn't invent the delete browser history function. tragic. #monsterdon

Of course, now the door is melted into slag so....they're kinda trapped.

#monsterdon #forbiddenPlanet

They see me Morbin'
They hating...

#Monsterdon

#ForbiddenPlanet #Monsterdon

"10 almost literally to the power of infinity"

Lot of those dials lit up.

#monsterdon so this Morbius is the Wizard of Id? 🥁

Anybody else notice the flashing Pac-Mans?

#Monsterdon

zap zap leslie

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Turns out saying "I deny you" works like saying "I declare bankruptcy" Michael Scott-style

#Monsterdon

Uh oh he got out his Coke bottle with a handle

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Mm, Jiffy Pop door #Monsterdon

dude don't appeal to Alta, she's the worst-written character in the film. #monsterdon

Props for the exploding planet not making an explody sound #monsterdon

Leslie Nielson: "Your id is punishing your daughter for her disobedience!" (fart noises)

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Good thing I never forgot my inner mindless lust for hate and destruction or whatever

#monsterdon

psychoanalytic exposition

#monsterdon

so you're saying that pretty soon.... it's Morbin' time? #monsterdon

Drown your book, Morbius!! Drown your book!

#Monsterdon

It's Alta not real, I'm getting "Alta's not real" vibes

#Monsterdon

But if Morbius is the beast, he can be turned back into a human if someone kisses him & promises to marry him #Monsterdon

@amyfou

The tiny remains are still floating in the ocean near Culver City.

#Monsterdon

Robbie shorting out here is actually pretty clever.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Chekov's robotic logic malfunction #Monsterdon

jiu-jitsu! #monsterdon

Oh he's Morbin' now. #Monsterdon

they oughta just get a big bucket of paint and drop it on that invisible creature, cartoon-style. #monsterdon

I feel sorry for you young man, I got 99 problems and one of them is this monster.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Once again, the humans are the real monsters. Ba-dum-tish!

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

This woman knows nothing about packing. Look at that tiny bag.
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

It's Morbius! It was Morbius the whole time!

'could Robbie be wrong?'

pretty easy line to speak

#monsterdon

Oh no! He used the "reverse monologue" card. Boredom returned to Morbius! #Monsterdon

I sent my secret Id out to murder some people once too. I think we all have.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Not the Truffala trees!!! LOL

@amyfou

And most critically, she wears shoes for the first time.

#Monsterdon

Now that she's been polluted by kissing, she might not be immune from the monster

#monsterdon

You're the monster Mobius, so much for Mr 'Big IQ'

Your horny feels for your daughter yeah...lets go full Freud!

#Monsterdon

The monster is from Morbius's mind!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

Alta changed into her traveling minidress, and she got her matching bag and shrug

the krell shoulda listened to more thrash metal. Then they'd understand. #monsterdon

We are the Knights who say ID!

#Monsterdon

It's amazing how in these stories whenever there is some "things emerge from the mind" there are only bad things.

Wouldn't good things emerge too?

#Monsterdon

Seriously, I know these dresses are just the merest suggestion of clothing but they are so fabulously gorgeous. #Monsterdon

I remember watching this movie a long time ago. I forgot almost everything *except* the twist #monsterdon
