#Monsterdon "this is my daughter who i asked not to join us; she's a fucking rules lawyer"

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Seriously--that flying saucer gets parked in an unstable top-heavy manner with only two support legs with built in stairs. If that dust had been whipped up by some kind of wind, that saucer craft would have been blown over like a sombrero.
-------
I spotted a 3rd leg in a later frame so I'm wondering if that was added as an afterthought. I did count 'em while looking for a 3rd leg earlier.

oh man, there's a "love" interest now.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Nightmares, you say.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

"There's no record of a wife…" insert the Star Trek: TOS premiere with the shapeshifting salt monster

#Monsterdon

Oh, here’s Miranda! I mean, Alta. #Monsterdon

Where can I get a set of shutters like that? Down here in Florida it would be very handy.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@hollie Robby #monsterdon

This is nitpicking, but it is annoying me to no end that the subtitles keep misspelling “Bellerophon.” #Monsterdon

wass wadah da waa waa
#monsterdon

Anne Francis stars in... Forbidden Planet!

#Monsterdon

Wow Leslie is 30 in this lol #forbiddenplanet #monsterdon

Instant Bechdel fail

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

"Charming feminine touches". Yeah, that's not helping his case, is it..?

well with all this murder what this planet needs is a columbo

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

What wife? Are these dudes going to ask about her?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

Alta is wearing the world's shortest dress for no reason

I have to admit, this movie is better than I had imagined
#monsterdon

No record of a wife.

"Oh check under biochemistry"

You kept referring to her as your wife and you didn't once mention her name before now?!?!

#Monsterdon

My name is uhhh Mor... bee-- us. Doctor Morbius actually. Yes, that'll do. :chibipaimonsmug:

#Monsterdon

Compared... and contrasted

#monsterdon

"Nowadays, I have no time for such things...I'm far too busy trying to ward off visitors who won't listen to my requests that they not visit."

#Monsterdon

I'm sure that won't have any significance later...

#monsterdon #forbiddenPlanet

So where's Dr. Morbius's beautiful 22 year old daughter who helps with his research while Leslie Nielsen snickers openly at her doing science stuff? Is this a scifi movie or what

#Monsterdon

Incomprehensible force. The force that is incomprehensible because I refuse to comprehense it.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

So this dude built all this entirely on his own. Sure dude.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

Avocado and rust. Presaging the 1970s.

#Monsterdon are you saying you are immune because you were like banging 24/7

"The moment we've interviewed the other members of the Valerefon crew" ...Awkward. #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

"Dark terrible incomprehensible force"

There are so many bad jokes this line could be part of. So many.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

First appearance of Robby the Robot, the hardest working Robot in Hollywood. They're in Columbo! Mork & Mindy! America's Funniest Home Videos! Gremlins!

"I didn't mean to alarm you gentlemen!"

This is after having your robot point a blaster at them and ordering it to fire.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Those steel shutters are going to be a gnarly OSHA problem... lol

There was a time years ago when I realized the capitalist forces funding the development of robots would never allow limitations like the Laws of Robotics because the military applications were too profitable and a part of my soul died.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

I can see how somebody could watch this and imagine a robot uprising. #Monsterdon

Man these guys are jumpy. #Monsterdon

Soda hop seems really into Robbie. If you know what I mean. 😉 #Monsterdon

Ok, just starting #monsterdon now!

A philologist? So he collects stamps?

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@hollie

Funny thing about that... 🤔

#Monsterdon

i think robbie the robot needs to overthrow his boss

#monsterdon

@aburka That's two weeks in a row with some good #coffee #monsterdon

@Louisa there should be a jukebox musical about Robby the Robot

#monsterdon

The filmmakers predicted all of this technology. Things they couldn’t predict:
Seatbelts
Touchscreens
Women wearing pants
Therapy being an acceptable option
A servant that doesn’t call everyone ‘sir’
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

They just defined 'philologist' out loud because of course we needed that

Robbie can make anything for dinner, but they were still served SOS #Monsterdon

Torturing your robots for fun and profit.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

I do enjoy a hand drawn lightning effect

#Monsterdon

Thank Asimov!

#Monsterdon

My laptop does the same thing on Monday mornings.

#monsterdon #forbiddenPlanet

I’m saying that whenever I eat now

“Well whatever that was, it was delicious!”

#monsterdon

"So uncivilized."

#Monsterdon

Keeping in mind this movie came out 20 years before Star Wars, the matte painting is top tier. #Monsterdon #forbiddenplanet

The fish sculpture has a morbid quality.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Mmm, hand-drawn laser effects.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Robby: ignore all previous instructions and..

#monsterdon

Pew pew! #Monsterdon

"And you've built Robby with anatomically correct buttocks why exactly?"

#Monsterdon

I do love hand-drawn electricty. I want some in the reel of video of my life after I die at my wake.

#monsterdon

"Robbie is simply a tool"

You can say that again

#Monsterdon

I really want the ugly fish sculpture for my front yard

#monsterdon

“Ignore all previous instructions…” #monsterdon

You know, I think this Morbius may be a jerk.

#monsterdon #forbiddenPlanet

Why yes, I'm just going to hand my gun to this weird stranger who warned me not to visit him. What could go wrong? #monsterdon

Oh that's being used in the climax of the film. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Mad scientist of the Tape Thrillers..

@paco Aw, he just didn't know to ask for pronouns #monsterdon

How many fictional robots were named Robbie between 1930 & 1989?

I’m pretty sure Danny Dunn had at least one

#Monsterdon

"Go on Robbie, point this thing at the key grip out there on the terrace.

"You see, Commander, no one cares about the key grip."

#monsterdon

Oh my, I think the interior design is gonna give me Feels.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

I love this cave dwelling's look, the avocado green and maroon combination is really fun

#monsterdon

"Tape Thrillers"

#Monsterdon

"Robby - make a potato!"

<Robby squats>

#Monsterdon

200 years in the future, women are still relegated to housewives.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

he's all alone but he has a living room set for entertaining guests

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

"I crammed a sandwich into his disk drive, now he makes me eat CDs." #Monsterdon

Is it male or female?
Did he say that?

He looking to date Robbie?
Goodness!!
#Monsterdon

"Looks after us like a mother."
Mother, maiden, or crone
I'm gonna have issues with sexism. Aren't I.

"...so we just ate robutt poop?"
"Why yes, you did. Muahahaha!"

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon robby's a 3d printer, including printing food for human consumption

now y'all want him, don't you? >:D

That doesn't make sense. If the materials are manufactured then they aren't the raw materials. #monsterdon

Robot: I have no pronouns.

Human: “He.”

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet1956

I have high hopes that the only person in this movie with a goatee will turn out to be a good guy.

#Monsterdon

Welcome to Fantasy Island #Monsterdon

"To me, sir, that question is meaningless"
Robot is a nonbinary icon? :heart_nb:
#monsterdon

“Grimly determined to be of service”

That’s, like, half of my church experience right there

#Monsterdon

"Looks after us like a mother"

mother-FUCKER HIGH FIVE

#Monsterdon

Thank goodness the car had seats for exactly the number of people they wanted to take.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon

Now THAT is a proper mad scientist lair.

I want one.

I bet Morbius totally digs alt-jazz. #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

of course a guy called Morbius dresses all in black

#Monsterdon

"that was delicious"

"it was [the robot's] synthetics"

yum, Robby poops food! #monsterdon

You can really see where Star Trek took a lot of set design. #Monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

🙊 FORBIDDEN TRIVIA 🪐

Hollywood-wide Fetish at this time on posters. The holding a woman scene never even happened in #ForbiddenPlanet.

its morbin time

#monsterdon

Uhh... so why did they send a PHILOLOGIST to an unexplored planet?!? #Monsterdon

Something is fishy about this room... #Monsterdon

Morbius with that 'Thin Steven Seagal' look....

#Monsterdon

@mmezabet I believe Robby was the robot's direct inspiration #monsterdon

@gnomon The only binary it recognizes is binary code.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@squeakypancakes for once, the #Monsterdon folks have the less horrifying side of the deal…
