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

#monsterdon
" men and women on rocketships my a$$".
Ain't no women on that ship.

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

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.

#monsterdon AAAAACK! GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO!

Louis and Bebe are doing a cracking job

#monsterdon

Do we have electronic tonalities, you bet . #monsterdon

oh we don't have a soundtrack we have "electric tonalities" #monsterdon

Loving the Electronic Tonalities #monsterdon

Wait, Walter Pidgeon? Leslie Neilson!?

#monsterdon

This is a rewatch for me, so I know it's not the usual fare for #monsterdon

So far the synth music is great!

#monsterdon

Hi Robbie! How's the wife and kids! #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

SPACE CAT

#monsterdon

Once again, the beginning of a space movie illustrating how high I am for this watch.

What are the odds?

#Monsterdon

"This can't be right, these are famous actors!"

Planet forbidden money more kept going through my mind for whatever reason #Monsterdon

Not just my 1st ever #Monsterdon but my 1st ever watch party. How do you folks do it??? 1-6 posts per second! And then some other instance federates 30 posts at once.

I watched this a few weeks ago (post at c/RaygunGothic https://lemmy.ca/post/43468504 ) otherwise I wouldn't have been able to look at the posts and have the slightest chance at following the film.

Thanks for the fun!

@LingLass Yes, watching it closely kept revealing things I'd overlooked or forgotten before. Also now I'm more inclined to believe in the theme People Are Terrible #monsterdon

Thank you, Miru, for the stream! It’s the first time I’ve watched it this way, and it worked great! #Monsterdon https://social.miyaku.media/@miru/statuses/01JW3SJEBZ7628WEZ5N8R5VMF0

So that's it... #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet
There are two items relevant to tonight's movie on these shelves.

if Morbius was such a genius, couldn't he have built his daughter a more... uh... satisfying robot? #monsterdon

“My evil self is at that door and I have no power to stop it!” #Monsterdon

@kinsale42 In fairness there is never a bad week to watch #Monsterdon

And that's a wrap!

I thoroughly enjoyed that stroll down memory lane (the 50s misogyny/patriarchy on full display not withstanding).

I didn't have much to toot about, was pretty wrapped up in the soundtrack and special effects.

Thank you (as always) to @Taweret for hosting, and everyone for tooting along.

Till next time!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Ah. Blown to Krell and back. The End.
...and then I found out that an infamous Governor of Alabama was playing a bit part in that movie. Well, I did know that he was listed as cast member when I went looking for Earl Holliman, but DAMN I sure didn't recognize him...but then again, my memory of him was of a fat bigoted bastard. You got to see him in the opening minutes of the movie, getting talked to by Nielson. Fancy that.

Thanks to @Taweret for putting this all together every week. It's been fun to join in, I wish I could do it more.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@socketwench This week and every week <3 #Monsterdon

That was great and also terrible but amazing thanks friends ❤️🚀 #monsterdon #forbiddenplanet

So many people promised this was a good movie, I kind of expected it to be a good movie. And yet,

#Monsterdon

Whew, for the briefest moment I was worried we might have an actual resolution

#Monsterdon

Someone else in my household thought Robbie's arms looked more like extendable tits.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

That was not bad at all. A bit outdated and cringy, but overall, a very well-done movie in acting, story, and special effects.

#Monsterdon

I like that the robot legs made it looks like the Michelin dude, can't remeber the name of the tire doll.
#monsterdon

And that’s a wrap! Tune in next time when a plucky family of five tries to find a new earth to colonize in the continuing adventures of Robbie the Robot!

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon

The funny thing is, I've seen this movie before (back before I started watching b-movies and such) and totally didn't remember all the special effects because wow was the story unmemorable, lol.

#Monsterdon

@brooke
#Monsterdon

Yes, fortunately, NO ONE is planning anything like this, because we're way too smart for that...

"Harry Harvey Jr," yeeesh

thanks #monsterdon &
@Taweret &
@ryan .

And us stupid earthman beat it, somehow.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

That was a really good movie

#ForbiddenPlanet

@socketwench whenever one door(steel shutters) close gawd opens a door (there is no god) there is now! #iVeHadAnap #Monsterdon

Thanks for #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet all

here's a good chaser:

#Monsterdon

Wait, so Robby's alive again? How the hell did they fix him

#Monsterdon

@amyfou I mean so does mine? I think we have more than one actually for various emergencies...

#Monsterdon

@nev What could possibly go wrong?

#Monsterdon

The self destruct mechanism looks a bit like the self destruct for the "Mother" computer in Alien. #monsterdon

@amyfou "Puah the buuuutttooon 🎶 :ablobcatgooglymlemjumping: #Monsterdon

98.6 is not 100 sir #monsterdon

#ForbiddenPlanet #Monsterdon

How exactly do you give up your subconscious, though..?

🤔

Forbidden Planet absolutely stands up to the test of time. The effects. The philosophical and psychological story. Even the men lusting over the first woman they see after travelling together for a while. Especially that bit. Men, eh?

#Monsterdon

main screen turn on

#Monsterdon

Dad. I just want a man or ten.
#monsterdon

I knew Morbius was a terrible person, but his clothes are brown-black and his robe is blue-black, so truly he is beyond redemption.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet #GothProblems

Ooo, has Morbius finally accepted his shadow self? Get him an Evoker, see if he's got a Persona! #Monsterdon

Sometimes I swear it really felt more like "hey, I got access to this cool synth sound machine!" *Presses buttons randomly.* "Doesn't this sound cool and like spacey or something!"

#Monsterdon

Oh no, it's an evil balloon monster!

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

This lab has a big red button.

You kind of need to let it melt through the door otherwise you won't be able to get out.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

Uh oh Id self-destruction is not safe, Morbs

This movie had an ending all right, highly disorienting for #monsterdon

Dr Morbius and Mr Hyde

#Monsterdon

Your "Munster"

@paco
Then it was really hot!

#monsterdon
#ForbiddenPlanet

Maybe get into the shuttle and ride it 20 miles away from there?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon wanna see Alta's ID monster

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

You can tell this is the climax of the movie because Leslie's hair has become slightly tousled

No dude, not egomaniac. ID maniac #monsterdon #forbiddenplanet
