this is like Fritz Lang's fever dream

"Lubricating itself"
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Yes, yes, Krell wonders, but no Krell OSHA standards.

#monsterdon #forbiddenPlanet

This are some nice fxfor such an old movie
#Monsterdon

Cookie's looking for 50 gallons of wild radishes

#monsterdon
#ForbiddenPlanet

I keep expecting someone to start yelling "Murph! Murph!"

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Is Morb secretly a Krell?

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@Violinknitter

Figures they can never escape, if he doesn't want them to..

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@paco Yes, I winced #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

About to get real NOW!

I love when the movie has enough of a budget to get ambitious

#monsterdon

There is absolutely no room for doubt that this movie had quite a budget.

Star Trek looks cheap in comparison.

#Monsterdon

My eyes glazed over, is he still Morbin'? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon This elevator set reminds me so much of Interstellar...

I think they used the music to design the sets

#monsterdon

I got the double live bootleg of Civilization Without Instrumentality. Import from Japan. You've probably never heard it.

#Monsterdon

@paco

Yeah, numbers MEAN things.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

I can't wait for all of this to get tied back to the stolen equipment. It's gonna be so worth it! #monsterdon

WELCOME

TO THE MAGRATHEAN FACTORY FLOOR #Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

How was something that fit through that door going to fit in that tiny shuttle. #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon He's gonna Willy Wonka then!

10^infinity ... wow

*YAWN*

#monsterdon

Not shown: the little sign on the wall that says "shoot here to destroy Death Star"

#Monsterdon

no seatbelts in the krell bus #monsterdon

I'd have some nembutol handy before doing that one

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

The Krell invented Space Mountain!

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

2,000 centuries. You couldn't just say 200,000 years?
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

The Krell had public transportation?!? COMMUNISTS!!! #monsterdon

@tankgrrl

Well,. when you say it like that...
No one tell Riker.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#monsterdon so far no snark, I do like Robbie's subtle <burp> comic relief

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

#monsterdon racial energies..

The equipment dusts itself too.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Go Krell with their inclusive Plastic Educator sizing!

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Civilization without instrumentality. They were tangified.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Exposition. Exposition. Exposition. Exposition. Exposition.

#Monsterdon

which is a fairly libra moon joke of me to make btw

#monsterdon

The long-winded dialogue sounds like golden age SF tales read aloud. They didn't know about trying to sound naturalistic then #monsterdon

implausibly, I have finished all the nachos

#Monsterdon

Amperes. So many amperes. Those krazy Krell and their amperes.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Mr Mittens has joined me

Did the Krell ascend?

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet1956

#Monsterdon
If he had brought his daughter here as a child, she could be Xmen level by now!

Girls just don't get enough STEM education.

#monsterdon Why is Alta eating an aubergine! And then stuffing it in her... uhhhh... why are all the vegetables unpleasantly warm and soft?

Ah yes, the machine that goes PING!

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@nazokiyoubinbou I'm watching ad free and also seem to be falling behind...

#Monsterdon

See, the thing about expository lore-building is you have to have something actually interesting to talk about. A lot of movies fall flat simply because they don't have anything worth talking about. #Monsterdon

Yes, let's take the intelligence test. That will answer our questions about our stolen equipment. #monsterdon

@Lazarou @ramsey Fred the Krell

#monsterdon

"you may be disappointed doctor" SICK BURN #monsterdon

@Louisa So futuristic!

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon do not let the others use the toy. they will make naked alta

Dr. Morbius is always finding an excuse to slip "IQ of 183" into conversation

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

uhm nope

I am impressed by the set, though...It's FAB-U-Lous!

#Monsterdon

And if I get it high enough I get a prize!
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

CEREBRO

MAGNETO

#Monsterdon

The tech (and writing system) being comprehensible from 0 is one of those things that I don't trust is true, but part of the genre

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

"I have an officially recorded IQ of 183" Definitely alt-jazz. #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

I remember the 70s when Forbidden Planet was played on Halloween night a lot. So we loved it when we went to see the movie HALLOWEEN, and one scene had Forbidden Planet playing on the TV.

John Carpenter setting the realistic tone.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon oh, yes. I guess it is

Ugh, they invented AI for education.

Tech bro aliens. No thanks.

#Monsterdon

Ah yes the Brain Gauge.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

he's reinventing Krell Laser Floyd

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Big Brain Energy #monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

What's your favorite Bowie album? Mine's "Plastic Educator." #monsterdon

They stopped doing finger painting for kindergarteners‽

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet1956

On this screen may accessed the sum total of Krell knowledge.

It's accessed via only these two knobs.

You can guess it's hard to fucking search. Almost as bad as Google in the early 21st century.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

but you do have multiple arms and legs

you have two of each

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon
Lovely set.

"I've come here every day for two decades."

And yet, I still cannot build an Interocitor. #Monsterdon

And it was also full of cat photos.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Wait, did the movie just make his philology specialty relevant? #Monsterdon

He killed Flying Tiger!

#Monsterdon

"I often play with it myself" - Doctor Morbius.

#Monsterdon

HUUUUGE logical alphabet

#Monsterdon

"Plastic Educator" sounds like a dildo

#Monsterdon

this is what the krell looked like

#monsterdon

@diazona You'll be FINE

#Monsterdon #TheForbiddenPlanet

You got to admit that door mechanism is pretty fucking cool.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

He knows she's an innocent nut still wants to kiss her. Yuck.

#Monsterdon

UGHGHGSDH the little door controller ball thingy aldkjfldkajflj the SET DESIGN foams at the mouth

#Monsterdon

@ramsey *Actual picture of a Krell

#Monsterdon

"designed for non-human technicians. Like grad students." #monsterdon

I too up energy drinks like a sponge. #monsterdon

The combination was 1-2-3-4-5 #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#monsterdon Lots of traces of fabulosity!

Krell history lesson time.
Dr Morbius is an astroanthropologist.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon

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