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

I feel there should be some kind of Inquiry into all those deaths tbf....

#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

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

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

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

Est ist VERBOTTEN!
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

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
