Stairs bend silently. That’s just science.
#monsterdon

These invisible footprints and massive dented steps are amazing! This is like Jurassic Park's water glass ripples. #monsterdon

wow black dress, slick

Heavy invisible monster

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

The footsteps are DOPE!

#Monsterdon

Back in the space office, the captain and the other astronaut are arguing with Doctor M that the Krell city/machine they found should be reported to earth, which he disagrees with. Then they get news that one of the astronauts was killed, and that his body was blasted or crushed. They leave to investigate.

After they leave, Doctor M ominously mutters "it has started again."

#monsterdon

@jonny Come for the alien planet, stay for the space hooch

#Monsterdon

The footsteps are badass. Followed by screams. YES.

#Monsterdon

It's clever how they did the invisible beast prints

#Monsterdon

When I think of Kansas City, the first thing that comes to mind is certainly bourbon.

#Monsterdon

“Prepare your minds for a new scale of scientific value, gentlemen” #Monsterdon

Did he just offer the robot a lube job in exchange for alcohol?

#Monsterdon

The dilithium reactors are screaming cap`n!
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

In the next scene, the force field gate shorts out, and we see invisible foot prints pass through the force field screen while no one is looking, and then we see the stairs of the saucer being deformed by some heavy object climbing it.

Then the guards outside hear the Wilhelm Scream (TM), implying someone has met a bad fate.

#monsterdon

it's only Kansas City bourbon if it's made on EARTH

#monsterdon

Is he going to drink all that? He is, isn't he?

tragic....

#Monsterdon

@moira Nuclear space bees!

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

I mean, there are guard rails. At a height that might protect the monkey #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon can you just brick them up like it's cast of amontillado already?

And here's where we power the Death Star's shields from... Ignore Alec Guiness in the robe there. #Monsterdon

@Rozzychan I see where Lucas got his design ideas for like, EVERY set in the Star Wars universe. No safety rail anywhere.

#Monsterdon

All the Krell interior shots are completely off the hook. #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Thus started the long running scifi tradition of unreasonably long falls with nary a guardrail in sight. #Monsterdon

@diazona #Monsterdon

so much self-lubrication on this planet

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Making an ambient 'found sound' album among the Krell ruins....

#Monsterdon

Okay, we've gone from "these visual effects were great for 1956" to "these visual effects are great for today"

#Monsterdon

Almost as much power as LLMs are using

#monsterdon

OSHA would have a field day with these walkways
#Monsterdon

that set is total Star Wars inside the death star. #monsterdon

@Lazarou I had the same thought! Very pre-Star Trek vibes.

#Monsterdon

These people are being very trusting of this person who 100% did NOT want them to land on the planet #Monsterdon

If the Krell were so damn smart, why couldn’t they invent normal doors?!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

yes, we get it. It's logrithmic. Which I can't spell but at least I know what it is

Freed from physical instrumentality you say? #monsterdon

Wait if it doubled his IQ that means he was IQ 90 to start with, but a Phd too?

#monsterdon

@Terencio #Monsterdon

"Racial energies"

stop being creepy and 1950s dude

#Monsterdon

holophonor

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#monsterdon I have an IQ of 161 .. that is why I am the only one who didn't say something stupid to Alta.

#Monsterdon oh crap will you all stop talking about your IQs?

This new Apple vision pro is kind of weird.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

These aren't just charming for the period special effects. These still look GREAT today!

#Monsterdon

"I often play with it myself for relaxation."
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Krell music remains but no representational art? Were they focused on senses other than sight?
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

sir, you DO have multiple arms and legs

#Monsterdon

"Wish I had been blessed by multiple arms and legs"

the Transhumanist/Furry dream

#Monsterdon

The Krell perished in a single night. They invented social media.
#Monsterdon #forbiddenplanet

If I had to listen to that music again I would also prefer to perish. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Everything is beeping and blinking, I can't take it! It's too much!

The plastic educator is your pal that's fun to be with! #hhgttg #monsterdon

Leslie Nielsen sure is eager to obey all Dr. Morbius's orders about what to do with his gun

#Monsterdon

@SordidAmok As true in film as in life.

#Monsterdon

Aw shit! THAT'S my Krell JAM right there!

#Monsterdon

Morbius is always pitching these guys like he's a Sharper Image salesperson. #monsterdon

@Lazarou I reckon they are triangle-shaped.

#Monsterdon

It would be pretty wild to hear alien music from 500,000 years ago though...

#Monsterdon

Dude's totally Krell-pilled.

#monsterdon #forbiddenPlanet

Ah yes, the alien triangular arch, i would never have guessed it was like our "human doorways"

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

If these Krell were so great, why didn't they make sure the Tiger would be safe, hm?? Why??

Okay ya know what. Fuck Leslie Nielsen.
That kitty just wanted to play. :(
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Last night our Klystron monitor was sabotyyyzhed

#Monsterdon

The Krell are the ones with the Glaive, right? #monsterdon

*mournfully resets the counter to zero on the "It has been X days since a tiger was killed on #monsterdon" sign*

I LITERALLY just said, "I love this tiger." and then *laser splat*. WTF movie???

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

good lord Alta you need to stop all this and just murder these men rn they killed your tiger!

@blogdiva #Monsterdon

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

"I'll have less dreaming on this ship!" should go down as one of Leslie's famous lines like "And don't call me Shirley!"

It's just awkward watching them kiss, thank fuck the tiger interrupted

#Monsterdon

"What's a bathing suit?"
Oh a nude scene. Leslie is so shy.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@goinfawr First all-electronic movie score, apparently #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

You can tell this is a real SF movie, because the Earth fauna -- tiger, monkey, etc is actually a plot point, and not just lame writing...

jfc 50s rom coms were weird....

#Monsterdon

I've got a nude young woman to talk to ... in person
#monsterdon

@nev Maybe they have different pay scales for duty in space and at an Earth base?

#overthinking

#Monsterdon

They didn't even wipe their shoes. There is no amount of guest behavior they will adhere to.

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

@ohiofi Awesome! I love this meme. #monsterdon

Actually thought she was naked in that water, VERY bold for the 50s...

#Monsterdon

Me and the boys were thinking about starting a Space Jazz band. This is my Space Saxophone. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪐 🚫 👽 👩‍🚀 👨‍🚀 😱

is monkey!

Valuable government property, huh. #Monsterdon

The probulator is moving on its own #monsterdon

"It's a funny squeaky sound"
"You couldn't hear a dump truck driving through a nitro glycerine plant. #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#monsterdon I want the sets of this movie as my living room decor 😊

Ooh, the theremin is diegetic?

(Also, commenting on the moons)

#monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Can’t wait to find out what an “oil job” is in the porn version. #Monsterdon

Not a single camera on the perimeter, just white men with guns and possibly drinking problems....piss easy to sneak in

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon is it morbin time????? :blobaww:

#Monsterdon Dammit she's taking the slut-shaming to heart

"I need a new outfit, Robbie. Make it look like I'm in the Handmaid's Tale."

#Monsterdon

giving yourself an oil job, is that what they called it in those days

#monsterdon

Leading man Leslie Neisen!
Man it is hard to take him seriously even when he is being series. I can just feel a punchline coming. Even without doing comedy he has the natural timing of a comic actor.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

To be fair, "space wolf" is not a bad prompt.

This is pretty much the bad part.

This was romantic comedy then...

@socketwench innit? And they're all white guys.... #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon oh wow, the sex pest got a dressing down for his behavior. That's downright weird for the 1950s.

Yelling at the girl and blaming her seems more in tune with the times.

Weird eugenic feels in that rant there, captain.

#monsterdon #forbiddenPlanet

Ah, alcoholism.

#monsterdon

He's a space wolf?! This movie just got interesting

#Monsterdon
