I wanna ride around in robbie's lil cart tho

#Monsterdon

The next night, the crew are intensifying their fortifications, bringing out square field guns that shoot lasers and testing them; not sure why they had so many of those things in their cargo holds.

I kind of like the design for the goofy field guns... I think they might have inspired the dish-shaped laser turrets the Rebel soldiers were using to futilely shoot imperial walkers in the Empire Strikes Back.

#monsterdon

a foretaste

does this involve self-lubrication?

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Funk to funky. We know Major Tom's a junky. #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon were you making love to the robot last night?

Doctor M rides up on the spacecar to tell the Captain that the pattern on the Bellerophon (his ship) is repeating and that he warned them to stay away, but he doesn't explain why he thinks this or what happened, other than he had a premonition. This makes the captain suspicious.

#monsterdon

“Smooth, too!” #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Very cool evolution discussion.

Bending the metal stairs? Oh lawd he comin' #Monsterdon

lol "I may in time to time dispense the technology to Earth...."

How very White of you Dr Mobius

#Monsterdon

Okay, the footprint effect is cool

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@Violinknitter I always joke about that! But these infinitely amazing aliens actually put a few in.
#monsterdon

Invisible space yeti makes an appearance (in a manner of speaking)

#Monsterdon

Back at the saucer, a sort of force field parameter has been set up. The cook is goofing around and then finds that Robby has dutifully replicated 480 bottles of Kansas City bourbon for him, enough to threaten the sobriety streaks of every astronaut on the saucer.

#monsterdon

"I should have asked for cocaine!" - Cook

#Monsterdon

The cook has an IQ of 230, but he peaked too early....

#Monsterdon

no idea what's going on but all that stuff was pretty cool #monsterdon

I'm guessing the whole machine is a power plant or a factory or something? It looks very austere, except for the goofy glowing machines, but it at least has safety railings which are oddly rare in science fiction.

I guess its powered by a whole bunch of nuclear reactors, or maybe fusion reactors, because I think they said "thermonuclear"? Anyway, Doctor M gives them a tour.

#monsterdon

You know you want to pee on the alien electric fence

#Monsterdon

Prepare your minds for some sweet prog rock, gentlemen.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

weird the aliens would use miles

#Monsterdon

DECIMALS! The metric system was invented by aliens!
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

The astronauts ask Doctor M what has powered all these weird alien gadgets for the past 200 centuries, so he gives them a further tour of the facility, which has its own little pod train installed and also a walkway over a gargantuan ventilation shaft; the whole alien machine has 780 levels and there are 400 other shafts and the machine is like 20 miles on a side and has been self-repairing for the past 200 centuries.

#monsterdon

I, too, am a low-grade moron.

#monsterdon

Don't say "racial energies"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon :bing: Krell Instrumentality Project Evangelion

can we not use the phrase "racial energies?"

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Mr Mittens has joined me

"a commanding officer doesn't need brains" KILLED HIM #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

and now they're debunking the validity of IQ testing very good

Krell is next door to Krull

Any moving image means a thing is alive.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon 3D printing.. a Krell technology..

One of the spacemen remarks that this is an amazing find that should be reported, but the other astronaut interrupts him to change the subject and ask what another device is; Doctor M explains that its some kind of testing device for the Krell childs that also does an IQ test because Intelligence attributes are a thing in this RPG universe. The IQ test also has blender installed and lets the Doctor call up an image of his daughter.

"Huge logical alphabet"?? Nononononono if you're a logician you want the smallest logical alphabet kiddo

#Monsterdon I hope he's telling them this exposition to trap them in a room and kill them

why my man shooting Jingle Bells at it #Monsterdon

Her tiger familiar. Agh! #Monsterdon

It was the Lady or the Tiger.

#Monsterdon

Those triangular supports in the rear of Dr. Morbius's study look _very much_ like the triangular window struts common in Imperial starships in the Star Wars universe.

#monsterdon

What was Leslie Nielsen's implication? That the tiger was in love with her and jealous because she was kissing a man?

#Monsterdon

The captain and another guy decide to explore the house, thinking that it has subtly changed, and they find a hidden office room with some unknown language listed on a piece of paper. Doctor M arrives to accuse them of snooping around to steel stuff, and they counter accuse him of sabotaging their Klyston thingamabob.

#monsterdon

First of all, HOW DARE YOU disintegrate that tiger.

Second, really pretty animation

#Monsterdon

a slab of cheese with a gun

WHO KILLED THE KITTY

BAD CHEESE MAN! BAD CHEESE!

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon okay let's be fair: why would she need to know how to interact with men as a romantic prospect when she's just got her father and a robot to hang out with???????

"You won't have to see me any more!" Alta stabs their eyes out

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Did Robby the Robot just take a blaster to that fruit-stealing capuchin!? That hardly seems necessary.

About Dr. Morbius's impenetrable study, from Robby:

"This is the only door."

Surely that's a violation of the fire code? No wonder a bunch of people on this planet died!

#monsterdon

we'll call you when it's morbin' time

#Monsterdon

“Space pay.” I have nothing to add here. #Monsterdon

"Joe do you hear something?"
"Like what?"
"Like the soundtrack. It's freaky man."
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Back at base, I mean the flying saucer, most of the spacemen are bunked down for the night, with two standing guard outside. One of them hears some breathing but doesn't see anything. We see inside the saucer that a hatch is lifted and a metal arm is moved.

The next morning, we learn that something was sabotaged and the captain is yelling at the guard crew for not noticing what happened (except for the guy who heard breathing and another guy who had a dream).

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

Is this a space saxaphone?

It really is her fault for being so young and dressing a way

#monsterdon

An 'oil job', you say.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Robbie: Again?!

#monsterdon

"I was giving myself an oil job"

JESUS, sorry I asked! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Alta means lesbian in Altairese..

"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!

Alta, we're all horny space sailors being cooped in space for a year. #monsterdon

😬

#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

lololol, this man is roasted. bruv, quit while you're ahead. #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 No Mating! That's how you transmit mononucleosis! YOU BASTARD EARTH MEN! lol

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

#monsterdon Wait until they start feeding Alta 60 gallons of booze..

#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.
