SEATBELTS. In a 50s movie? So ahead of their time!

#Monsterdon

Glad to see that future folks returned to wired mics.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet1956

The cook is like, "I'd give it a shot."

#Monsterdon

This really is futuristic: seat belts #monsterdon

Robbie the Robot is NONBINARY

BITCH

#Monsterdon

robot said trans rights

#monsterdon

Robby, baby. It's SO good to see you.

#Monsterdon

"In my case, sir, the question is totally without meaning."—what I'm saying the next time someone asks for my pronouns

#Monsterdon

"Para español, marque dos" #Monsterdon

they immediately need to gender the robot

#Monsterdon

This is a film I "encouraged" my wife to watch when we were first dating. I know it won awards for the sound but the visual effects are superb and really hold up now. Any suspicions that I was unduly attracted to Anne Francis after watching this for the first time in my formative years will be severely ignored.

#Monsterdon

I also always liked it that they went with a flying saucer.

It worked for the Greys, right?

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

"You are a robot aren't you?"

"Is it the metal body that gives it away?

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon

I like to think Robbie and the
Lost In Space robot ended up together.

#Monsterdon Robbie the Robot, folks. Yes, we are honored to be in his presence.

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

Subtongues???!!???

#monsterdon Ah, that's the good stuff.

Those robot legs are fascinating. The articluation.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet1956

#Monsterdon Oh it's H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot from that fantastic four cartoon that didn't have the human torch

banging on table ROB-BY, ROB-BY, ROB-BY

#Monsterdon

Oh wow, the single central landing foot from that flying saucer - that looks exactly like the one I remember from the old Khéna et le Scramoustache bandes dessinées that I read as a kid. Aww, now I want to revisit those.

#monsterdon

That painted set, tho!

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

they landed on the Road Runner's planet!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon space worms? has Dunc combining with Morbius?

#Monsterdon

Check out that MATTE PAINTING!

Animated saucer effects!

“The speed of light was attained, and soon exceeded…

And that’s when my drinking problem began” #monsterdon

#Monsterdon seriously, the effects in this movie are mind blowing considering it's 1955.

don’t land there! that’s a forbidden planet! #monsterdon

Nice set painting

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I swear I have heard half these space noises on like SNES Synthesizers

really nice effect tho

#Monsterdon

Oh man I love that matte painting :D #Monsterdon

I'm not gonna be able to resist the morbin' time jokes

so you've been warned

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon we'll land right here, in front of this matte painting

#Monsterdon Morbius knew of his role in the MCU and didn't want to be on film

Even in the future, they can't just get the polarity right the first time

#Monsterdon

This guy is like me when people want to come over to my house. Very relatable.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

Reverse polarity?!?

So they still wash their hands in the future...

#monsterdon #forbiddenPlanet

I want a 'power mike' for my spaceship

#Monsterdon

I was thinking this movie so far is pretty pathetically JUST a military movie with space jumpsuits, and then a navy ship's cook shows up in regular 50s US military uniform complete with little sailor hat

#Monsterdon

This guy is the staff "philologist"? #monsterdon

@trixter and then he morbed all over the place and the movie ended #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

This Dr Morbius seems like a nice guy tho

20 miles square? How square?
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

This dude may have done it first, but Uhura did it better.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

OH SHIT IS IT MORBIN' TIME?

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Thank god they still speak English

#monsterdon

OH NO.

IT'S MORBIN' TIME

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

It's Morbin time!

#Monsterdon

@paco All of the special effects shots look good. I think maybe this has been remastered. If not, it's better than what Star Trek was able to pull off in the 1960s.

#Monsterdon

Uh oh... no women... #monsterdon

Viewplate, very E E Smith, I think?

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Is there another place to watch Forbidden Planet than Tubi?

#Monsterdon

Isn't that the boss from Six Million Dollar Man?

#Monsterdon

So the narration said 'men and women' went into space but this room definitely appears to be 100% dudes. #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

"No survival suits will be required upon landing."

OMINOUS

#monsterdon

What struck me most about this movie was the elements that appear in Star Trek.

Like those daises they stand on resemble the transporter pads on the Enterprise.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Stand by to stop drinking and playing cards.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Got to have a dedicated cook onboard

#monsterdon

The captain is a rockin' tour guide, I'll give him that much. #Monsterdon

What do they do if they need to change a tube all the way out there? #monsterdon

@bunnyhero i don't see any rolling chairs at all! #Monsterdon

…Astrogator? #monsterdon 🐊

Leslie Nielson grabs microphone:
"Attention all crew!"
<fartecho.wav>
#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

This is a genuinely good shot. Some of this film is cheese, but there are some genuinely good bits, too.
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Oh. brakes.

I thought they meant OSHA-mandated breaks

@Bluedepth #monsterdon
I love this movie!

@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza They move the ship so that a planet comes between it and the sun, I guess? Because it's pretty and they have fuel to burn?

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Space: Oops! All White Men

#Monsterdon

Wait? Forbidden Planet did transporters before Star Trek?!

#Monsterdon

This movie makes great noises.

#Monsterdon

4:3 went back into fashion after the great 16:9 apocalypse #monsterdon

#Monsterdon damn that's a pretty shot of the eclipse

@ManWithPez My #1 favorite film of ALL TIME. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon the navigation desk, or whatever it is, with that giant transparent spinning globe, *chef's kiss* amazing

today they'd want to do a cgi hologram instead of practical builds

Many proto-elements of Star Trek.

This "deceleration" had to be the precursor for the transporter.

#Monsterdon

0.386 of light speed is still insanely faster than anything we can do now

#Monsterdon

In the final decade of the 21st century for moon landings, huh.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@bunnyhero A lot of thought/work went into the set design for this whole movie. #monsterdon

Can we cut back on the "digital tonalities" just a bit? That kinda hurt. #monsterdon

And introducing: Robby the Robot, as himself

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

OK, now my ears are bleeding

#Monsterdon

Time to get minty fresh!!!! #monsterdon

Did they just go through an Orgasmitron?

#Monsterdon

My father tells me it is inspired by The Tempest so I’m expecting some blank verse #Monsterdon

wow, you can really tell how we got from this to Star Trek. (appreciative) #monsterdon

Ahh, the mint flavoring infusion machine. Key step of all spaceflight.

#monsterdon #forbiddenPlanet

Musique concrete #monsterdon

It's time for #Monsterdon! Tonight is Forbidden Planet

2200 A.D. All wite men running the flying saucers. DEI died hard, I guess.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet1956 #USPolitics

DC Stations! Move it people! #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

I like the sets a lot

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon i love the uniforms

For frobules are framulated and our array hashing is approaching cromulant levels.

#monsterdon #forbiddenPlanet

Anne Francis's Costumes by....

The Rags Everyone Else is Wearing and You Couldn't Give a Shit About by...

#Monsterdon

I heard this if you press play on the film Forbidden Planet and the Forbidden Planet soundtrack at the exact same time… it syncs up! #monsterdon

Shoulder pads were approved for general use in the future #monsterdon

Already a fan of the navigation doohickey #monsterdon

#monsterdon
They can't even type the titles straight.
