"I was giving myself an oil job"

JESUS, sorry I asked! #Monsterdon

"I was giving myself an oil job."

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Put on a hijab. That's what you mean! A tarpaulin! An egg-crate! Leave the horny satisfaction to the cabin boy, er, Cookie! Make me food boy! Now suck my... ahem! We're SPECIMENS!

😬

#monsterdon

Frak these dudes!

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet1956

Because the cook holds the ship's idiot ball, he goes to hang out with the robot and get it drunk with "Ancient Rocket Bourbon". The robot doesn't actually get drunk, it just drinks it and then promises to synthesize more of it for him, allowing the cook to get more drunk.

While the cook is being a drunkard, one of the hornier spacemen is doing a skeezy and trying to teach the daughter to kiss, telling her that kissing is all the rage.

#monsterdon

Now we have “victim” blaming.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet1956

Oh Robbie is Bender's direct ancestor. And the first robot to get drunk on film.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

ewww, captain is slut shaming Alta now...

ewww, 50s sexuality is all weird....

#Monsterdon

this mfer Jerry is a canonically terrible kisser #Monsterdon

ewwwww, this scene is still happening.....

Captain Neilson should can that predator

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

Why is there always a scene where some dopey earth dude explains to a super hot space chick what 'kissing' is and why it's good?

"Honestly I haven't noticed the least bit of stimulation. Are there any women in your crew? Perhaps that would help."

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#monsterdon Cookie is a ships cook, so coded gay. A drunk gay.

#Monsterdon Alta asexual icon

"Fasten your seatbelts gentlemen. This is gonna be a bumpy ride." Is Robbie hitting on them? They/them are a curvy robot. Any man would be lucky to end up with Robbie.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

ewwwww, sailor making a pass at the local girl who has never seen a man other than her dad.....ewwww

ROBBIE IS BENDER

“I have no wish to repeat that [grave digging] experience.” Is that a threat? #Monsterdon

For some reason that shot of a graveyard reminds me of Galaxy Express 999
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

There's a rule book somewhere for movies containing any military element and somewhere on page 47 is, "Name one character 'Cookie'"

#Monsterdon #TheForbiddenPlanet

We learn some new stuff... the doctor dug some graves for the other crew, and also seems leery of the crew contacting earth. I missed the context, but now they have to do some ship work that involves moving some lead shielding, which the robot can lift easily and congenially.

I think they're assembling a space radio outside to contact earth, but I might be wrong?

#monsterdon

I like that they mentioned that Morbius is a philologist and explained exactly what a philologist is, in great detail, but have not yet covered why a guy whose thing is Reading Lots of Books was capable of building a goddamn humanoid robot. #Monsterdon

This is such a good movie - or a good example of a particular kind of movie. The treatment of the only woman in it doesn't ruin everything, but it is pretty bad.

#monsterdon

"Hey, is this core radioactive?"

"Quiet you!"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon well... Even if you don't want to dig the graves couldn't you make Herbie / Robby do it once the men are dead?

"Everything OK commander?"

Well, the lieutenant called me a sex pest and I nearly got incinerated by a robot, but otherwise yeah we're fine. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon How to short circuit the continuum on a 5 parsec level.. er.. sure..

I feel there should be some kind of Inquiry into all those deaths tbf....

#Monsterdon

oh ok so she's basically a disney princess

#monsterdon

Alta, disney princess... in... space (space) (space) #monsterdon

The guys who aren't Dr Morbius or Leslie Neilsen are very nondescript looking.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Werhave coffee! Back to a good old Monsterdon tradition.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

I guess the wife didn't make it. Maybe she got eaten too? I'm not sure, I missed that part. However, there is a space daughter.

Because the spacemen were in hyperspace and haven't seen a girl in a year, when the space daughter appears they are obliged to all swoon around her and be distracted and low-key horny. Or maybe mid-key horny. Not quite high-key horny. Maybe medium-high key horny.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Hyperspace Horny. Wait until Robbie breaks your excitement in half... boys...

#Monsterdon Alta is… thirsty.

Imagine the viruses this crew just brought into Morb's flat

#monsterdon

When I have unwelcome visitors, I always give them a tour and explain everything in my house.

#monsterdon

Chekhov’s dark, terrible, incomprehensible force

#monsterdon

Robby vs. ED-209

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

stop-motion windowshades, this place has all the modern conveniences

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon do not confuse with Phrenologist

#Monsterdon so what about IRRATIONAL beings????

Morbius' house looks extremely classic Star Trek.

Though Morbius himself is reminding of the antagonist of The Black Hole.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon Is that Stalin or do I need to wash my glasses?

Enby robot. Unusual for the 1950s! #monsterdon

Glorious old matte paintings. Love the retro chic UFO.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Having watched Rogue One last night (like a lot of people) I yearn for a robot sidekick too

Here comes one now, driving like a twat!

#Monsterdon

Watching this movie is like getting a hug from my father, Steve. SteveDaddy insisted I sit down one night when I was 12 and watch this movie with him. He usually didn't insist so I paid attention. He knew what he was doing. Made me a lifelong fan of #ForbiddenPlanet .

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon We have successfully transported the 1950's to Altair.

The Sombrero Has Landed. I repeat, The Sombrero Has Landed. #monsterdon

i'm sorry, Dr Morbius, but we require landing coordinates because, you see, it's Morbin' time

#Monsterdon

This is what spaceships are supposed to look like.

#monsterdon

"Thanks for coming a billion miles, but fuck off." #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon he's gonna morb the new ship of people to death

Luckily, I DVRed this from #TCM some months ago. 👍

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@ryan Oh they're gonna need Robert Forster for an Astrogator. #Monsterdon

@foolishowl even the sounds of the ship remind me of 60s Enterprise #Monsterdon

Got diversity? Sure! One of the guys has red hair! 👨‍🦰 #monsterdon

Electronic tonalities?
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

honestly going "how the hell did they do this in 1955?"

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

The uniforms are grey because I'm the 50s men didn't know how to separate laundry before washing.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

i want a pizza cutter to make announcements into. #monsterdon

@ranjit bloopbloopbloopbloopbloop #Monsterdon

So, is this going to be just another bug hunt?

#Monsterdon

Ooh, that's a model of the ship in the center of that navigation orrery. Interesting.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

oops. well, the good news is, we're in the right solar system... #monsterdon

The inclusion of a ship's cook makes this authentic.

#Monsterdon

Starring Leslie Nielsen and a Pigeon!
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Now, you KNOW the first time you got Photoshop or iMovie you totally did something like this. Don't lie. #monsterdon

man speaking into a pizza cutter. #monsterdon

i love the big glass orb

#monsterdon

In color, you guys!

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#monsterdon Here we go! This is FOUNDATIONAL SCI-FI children! Oh! this is a treat! ROBBY THE ROBOT! He defined robotnik for our entire generation! This feels like going-home, I'm so happy you all get a chance to see this film! Okay, more snark, less gushing. But this is really good!!!

ELECTRONIC TONALITIES!

#Monsterdon

Leslie Nielsen!? That's not important right now. #monsterdon

@Lazarou @floatybirb @littlemiao last 20 minutes maybe

before that even captain nielsen is, as I said, basically a hunk of cheese in a uniform

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@Lazarou @floatybirb @littlemiao fair point well argued

okay, so we have captain nielsen, mister bones, cookie, _guy who got tenderised_, and a fleet of redshirts.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@tankgrrl okay in this movie's defence

i actually have a little headcanon here which is

he created that himself. maybe even as he was dying. confronted with his subconscious, confront_ing_ his subconscious, he gained a little more control over his power and in doing so brought his own death - but was able to build that before dying.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@Lazarou @floatybirb @littlemiao now if only you hadn't reminded me

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

that was a fun one except for the sexism and racism thank you @Taweret for hosting, and @Cherizilla for bingo and @JoeWynne for trivia

It must not have been the same tiger as our other film, but I'm gonna see if I can find out any more at all about that.

Thanks to all you #Monsterdonians for making it hilarious!

🐯 💞

@ohiofi if the main character has a romantic subplot with any one of those other characters we're onto something..... #Monsterdon

anyway good job team and as always thanks to @Taweret for hosting

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

I sure hope Alta gets over the skipper, though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d3H2ZIsGKQ

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

wait, we never figured out if/why the krull were triangular!? #monsterdon

we watched this on the ps4 and once it was over the ps4 started playing its ps4 noises and it's like updated forbidden planet theme

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

I want us to all do #Monsterdon but with more unusual things, like a golf tournament or Downton Abbey

@blogdiva TechBros _wish_ they were the Krell

but they're really just out there morbin' everything up

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Y'know that was actually not bad enough to make me want to go back and watch the first half. High praise for a #Monsterdon movie!

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting!

@Lazarou Robby can make more Robbys until Robby can recapitulate the entirety of the Krell

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Enough of these are debatable, that you could argue it should be bingo.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@floatybirb B9 was not a re-use of Robby - B9 was all original. IIRC Robby _did_, however, make a guest appearance in the show.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Welp, our good ole traffic cone is back so I suppose I'll see you all next week, thanks #monsterdon and as always make it a good one.

@lorgonumputz Earth will destroy her Altarian spirit... #Monsterdon

thanks @taweret, YOU get to rock me to sleep tonight, but somehow I don't care whether I sleep well or not for reasons that are not immediately obvious to me or the viewer.

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

wait, I thought nuclear power only made the monster stronger? so isn't some godlike invisible monster now floating around in space? And if it's so powerful, won't it be able to move itself? #monsterdon

I can see why they reused as many pieces of that set as they could!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Thank you @Taweret for a lovely time!

#monsterdon Hooray! It was instrumentation that saved us all. This is the power of the UI/UX after all. :) This entire movie is Copilots wet dream, of course. ahahhahaha
