I wish I could get my client to keep the tag.
The astrogation console is awesome. I think they tried to copy this a bit on the bridge of the Enterprise, but it never looked this impressive!
Some of us dream of growing to love alien skies.....
They think thereβs going to be survivors after TWENTY YEARSβ½ #Monsterdon
LAND HARDER. HIT IT AGAIN
"I warn you... I beg you to reconsider" "ehhhh its probably no big deal let's not change course on our plan or even listen to the rest of his warning"
#Monsterdon
Who else is he talking to? The whole crew is there. #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet
@CactuarJoe Genuinely relatable.
I'm faving all of the "It's Morbin' time!" comments as a matter of policy.
#monsterdon
Reverse polarity!!!
We're reversing polarity folks! Stand by! #Monsterdon
Dr. Morbius sings: I'm gonna wash these men right outta my hair. I'm gonna wash these men right outta my hair, and send them on their waaaayyyyyy. #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet
@TerryHancock @paco This is my first time seeing it. These shots look better than the updated CGI on the Blu-ray editions of Star Trek TOS.
Wow, those ships must be popular as fuck on earth. So loud.
they're out in the desert 'cause devil girl got the better parking spot
of course she deserves it
The saucer is landing in a beautiful Galaxy Magazine cover.
Ok, thatβs a very pretty landscape
Um, planetscape? #Monsterdon
#monsterdon @jonny As a cultural reference where did the idea of the spaceship being a flying saucer originate?
#monsterdon REVERSE POLARITY. God I feel like I am home. We'll just REVERSE that POLARITY okay, come in with half flux. Ooooh baby, gonna need some Kleenex.
It's Rojan! #Monsterdon
They brought a philologist instead of a poet.
Scifi films and tv shows waste so much time with coordinates. Just say it's "by the big rock" #monsterdon
I love this saucer landing scene #monsterdon
I feel like a woman on the crew might have asked the simple question of why it wasnβt recommended to land.
If Captain Frowny had just asked why Dr Morbius was reluctant for them to land. If Dr Morbius had cited some kind of health hazard that required quarantining the planet. But no.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet
Reversing the ole' polarity early in this one. #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet
Morbius really wanted for forbid them from landing on the planet
Spaaaaaaaaaaaace~~
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet
reverse p-p-p-polarity!
You know, I feel like the captain could ask better questions before just rolling his eyes and demanding landing coordinates. Situational awareness much? #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Presumably Altair 4 has a little copy of Greenwich England? LOL ;)
Reverse Polarity!
Crew wears 'sad arms'?!?! #Monsterdon
land at 148 21st St West
"yeah well I'm not laughing"
The intercom prop gives a good vibe.
#Monsterdon click-through "you may die" landing license
βYou donβt need our help? Alright, I guess we get to take this ship for a joy ride for the rest of the assignment.β
Hello, this is Walt Disney speaking.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet
Forbidden Planet is a different kind of MCM garbage
Warning! Both Tolkien and Nietzsche were philologists.
Morbius? Like that MCM garbage?
#Monsterdon holy crap, the Living Vampire!
oh we morbin? #monsterdon
@ohiofi Especially handy when you're talking to people who are all within earshot of you. #monsterdon
MORBIUS??????
Morbius? Do you think he....you know....morbs?
Excellent dials and gauges on this ship.
Fun fact, the Captain might look familiar, it's Leslie Neilson, more famous for his roles in later movies like The Naked Gun, and Airplane, among others.
what's a bosun's job? do they need one on a spaceship?

PHILOLOGIST?!?
"Attention incoming space ship. Fuck off. That is all" #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet
"...green squiggly alert! I repeat, we have a green squiggly alert!"
We're being radar scanned! The oscilloscope shows a cat-shaped waveform!
This set is SO GOOD! #Monsterdon
yeah americans still using miles
Ah, this sad sack. All the people on earth and they had to send this loser.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet
'Human?! Sounds like a pigeon to _me_!'
#monsterdon
@srol the uniforms are a tasteful gray on the version i'm watching!
#Monsterdon I know this is rich coming from me but I like how they don't use metric
βNo women, hunhβ?
This film fails the Bechdel-Wallace test so hard, so far.
Jerry, can you tell any of these dudes apart? #Monsterdon
And someone with a lot of excess grey material got a cushy contract with the space navy.
I love how the cook is the only member on board without a fancy uniform.
Making PA announcements when everyone is in the same room, big power move, Captain. #monsterdon
Please return your seat to its upright position and fold your trays, thank you for flying Sci-fi airlines. #Monsterdon
They think the continents will change?
#Monsterdon
Special effects: still totally fucking sick
The escapee from the soda fountain wishes he was in The Music Man instead, so he could at least have a pool table #Monsterdon
@Taweret All the others have been transported to Space El Salvador #monsterdon
more oxygen, less gravity, these guys are gonna be bippity bouncin all over the place
That is all. We're totally done here.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet
See ya later, astrogator! After while, cosmodile! #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet
These uniforms would be enough to convince me never to join a spaceship crew #Monsterdon
@kshernandez Yes. It is Leslie Nielsen.
Sure it can make its own artifical eclipse, but can it make julienne fries? #monsterdon
No 'poo parlors' ?!?!?
I guess it's beautiful if you're really into beige. Which based on their uniforms, they really are. #monsterdon
As usual with this kind of sci fi, the ship is the best character so far :D #Monsterdon
I actually trickedβ¦ uhβ¦ I mean convinced, yeah, thatβs it! my wife into watching Forbidden Planet for #Monsterdon this time around!
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet
Screen on turn now!
@forestine weewooweewoooooo!!
@forestine It is amazeballs #monsterdon
My God, is that a very young Leslie Nielson? #monsterdon
yo isn't this loosely based on/inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest? #Monsterdon
Thank you Captain Exposition. #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet
Actually catching the #Monsterdon film live.
So...when do the Cylons attack?
It... Arranges its own eclipses? You wanna explain that, movie? #Monsterdon
Every prop from this movie was re-used for the next, I'unno, 25 years, from The Twilight Zone through Columbo
I love this eclipse special effect though, very elegant
Gorgeous, actually.
Is the tubi version remastered or colorized or was this how it actually looked when it premiered? #monsterdon
Coronoscope, yesssss
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet
#Monsterdon who ordered the Corona?
We have seen the space aliens... and they are US! #FlyingSaucer #Monsterdon
