#Monsterdon I foolishly thought you wanted the alcohol for cooking

I wouldn't worry, it's probably just an invisible Aztec mummy #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

Cookie can't even take off his apron when he's doing errands

Pretty sure these are Cookie's last moments here....

#Monsterdon

oh I hope the goofy cook dies

#monsterdon

The theramin threw a carburetor and is vibrating too loudly.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Chekhov's space fence.

...leading up to one of the BEST sequences in movie history!

#Monsterdon

Oo, laser fence, nice :D #Monsterdon

Oh, nice camera angle on the chasm of doom!!

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

Um the original was not brighter or more horrifying than the mirror, dude

@steggy @Rozzychan Also: R2D2.

#Monsterdon

We have scale models! Will they explode? We shall find out.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

“Look down gentlemen, are you afraid?”

Me with my fear of heights. "Yes, if you want me to look down there we're gonna' need a mop at the very least."

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Ok here we go, you can name a dozen movies inspired by this matte painting alone, I know you can. #Monsterdon

it's a sheikah shrine from breath of the wild

#monsterdon

It's the miracle of the wedding at Cana, only with whiskey #monsterdon

I think this movie was written primarily because some folks were like, "We have all these electronic tonalities. What should we do with them?"

#Monsterdon

Wow this is really impressive for 1956 #monsterdon #forbiddenplanet

"But what's it all for?"

"Porn."

#Monsterdon

Help me Obiwan Kenobi, you’re our only hope. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

'Krell Intelligence Test", huh.Proving that IQ numbers are bogus. I'll buy that.

7800 levels is some Blame! style nonsense

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@Zerofactorial @paco

But hey, he's a philologist. What does he care?

#Monsterdon

So... the Krell vehicle is cylindrical-shaped, which contradicts the notion they were a triangle-shaped species.

#Monsterdon

Irwin Allen's tiny brain exploded when he saw the shot of that maintenance shaft. #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Very impressive, but does it has a Zathras? #monsterdon

And now we see the set for when Luke and Darth Vader have their duel #monsterdon

Fascinating turbolift tube view.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet1956

#Monsterdon Come with me
And you'll see
A World of Pure Imagination…

i love the zippy-zap noises

#monsterdon

Shit, I'm even getting 2001 and Interstellar vibes from these scenes

#Monsterdon

The effects for a 1956 movie are still so astonishing now. Brown trousers and shirts with that beard!? You couldn't do that with CGI these days.

#Monsterdon

Who doesn't want to go exploring gigantic million year old alien ruins on distant worlds? Sign me up!

#Monsterdon

"lubricating itself" you mean an oil job? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

"prepare your minds for a new scale of physical scientific values, gentlemen"

@Lazarou Oh, so the doctor is Zathrus, it makes sense now. #Monsterdon

"The number ten, raise ALMOST LITERALLY to the power of infinity." Written by a Hollywood writer who took like one math class in high school.
#monsterdon

okay but this door is round. why's this door round? why do the triangle people have a round

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

The Krell city is very cool though

#Monsterdon

"Ten raised to the power of almost infinity!"
More like 24, but go off I guess

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Look at my Krell wonders! #Monsterdon

The crossing the bridge scene was a direct inspiration for the scenes underneath Epsilon 3 in #babylon5 #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

Shuttle Car??

Ok now, they had wireless tech even back then... Why does he have no concept whatsoever for wireless things existing?

#Monsterdon

If Morbius wants to talk "instrumentality", he really needs a pair of shiny glasses

#Monsterdon

Columbo would have annoyed this guy into a confession by the 5 minute mark.

#Monsterdon

All elevator shafts should have Tesla coils for dramatic enhancement

#Monsterdon

Oh, so the Krell died when they exploded into orange Tang. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

OK the Krell would not be a *race* they would be a *species*

Get with the science, weirdos

@Lazarou @ramsey Is that Pizza the Hut's Mom?

#Monsterdon

How do any of them know Alta’s full name? I don’t remember Morbius telling them. #Monsterdon

If you were smarter you'd be able to tell the difference between the distance around the room and infinity

#Monsterdon

these guys talking about their IQ's the way that queer ppl talk about sun/ascending/moon signs

#monsterdon

@brooke

Diversity is not a strength of this movie.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

You'd never survive the plastic educator! #Monsterdon

"A commanding officer doesn't need brains just a good loud voice" Ha ha ha.. Fuck You. #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

"Just a good, loud voice"? Why, I'd follow him anywhere! /snark

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

“I have an IQ of 161”

Really??? Why is none of it on display? #Monsterdon

The talky part of the exposition is a bit boring, but the scenery is top notch. It's just such a beautiful movie, remember when sci-fi was beautiful even when it was horror? I miss... hopeful sci-fi. #Monsterdon

I love how they know exactly what their IQ scores are.

#Monsterdon

@Louisa So futuristic!

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

"A three-dimensional image." They have Blender on that thing?

#Monsterdon

is this what 'morbin' time' is?

#Monsterdon

#When in the course of” perished. Not too evocative #Monsterdon

they sell those at spencer's gifts

#monsterdon

If only our MP3s will remain as well-preserved.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@JoeWynne Really? Wow. I didn't know it was a thing!

#Monsterdon

...which considering the first thing that comes up is his daughter..

#Monsterdon

The movie sure knows how to wait until we _want_ to hear the exposition.

#Monsterdon

“Designed for something much bulkier than my human cranium”

Device actually fits quite well with his head shape #Monsterdon

Low-grade moron sounds about right.

#Monsterdon

@Violinknitter

Chekov's philologist, yes.

#Monsterdon

@moira You're obviously using too-small a logical alphabet. #monsterdon

Goodness the effects are just so good 😍 #monsterdon

No record of their physical nature has survived, except for this moisturizing and reinvigorating shampoo.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Literally every sentence in this scene can be followed up with TWSS 😂

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon is this like one of those carnival strength tests

Alta has been trough like 48 costume changes in 36 hours, but ole Morb is still in his villain togs.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

How many TARDIS sets this movie got?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Plastic Educator .. I often play with it myself for relaxation..

but you do have multiple arms and legs

you have two of each

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

I do love the set design for creatures that aren't human-shaped. That's some world-building. One of the reasons this is such a classic SF film.

"..Can be projected the entire scientific knowledge of the Krell. But mostly it's porn and cat GIFs. #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

I was not expecting a silent door to be part of the show of technology, but it is.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

the technicians may not have been human, but don't worry they were still somehow all white and male

#Monsterdon

nooooo, I fell asleep and missed half the movie

Surely this will make no difference to how much sense the rest of it makes

#Monsterdon

First Touch Screen

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Just like the combination on my luggage!

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Krell Wikipedia.

#Monsterdon

"...are we not Krell? We are Devo"

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

No no commander. I meant your gun. #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

The super advanced civilization invented the door way.

Good....

#Monsterdon

🎶 triangle Krell, triangle Krell 🎶

#Monsterdon

Half a million years ago, the most advanced society in the world invented the theramin. #monsterdon

oh my god the ancient aliens were Stereolab this entire time

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon the triangle is a doorway? Is this about that gravity falls character?

"This recording was made by Krell musicians half a million years ago. I downloaded it from Napster."

"What's Napster?"

"It's an ancient music sharing tool"

#monsterdon

...So the Altarians were squat pyramids? #Monsterdon

"they looked very much like beyblades"

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

who woulda thunk a glass tower wouldn't last? #monsterdon
