Everything was normal until the dog with the human face.

#monsterdon

i fuckin knew it dog the whole source of the problem in this movie is that they didnt' swap out the mud pits. CLEAN YOUR MUD PITS PEOPLE #monsterdon

#Monsterdon also really dig the nobody wins vibe and then the silence. Yes. You all go home now. Think about what you’ve seen. Shriek at the babysitter.

A general rule of thumb is to never accept pills from guys with weird leather half-gloves.

#Monsterdon

The worst thing about being a pod person is you still have to show up for your job. #Monsterdon

that was a quality horror movie, the best version of that in my opinion.

Good luck to those of you who sleep near plants and/or dogs!

scariest thing in the world in 1978: what if you couldn't trust the cops? #monsterdon

wait GO BACK TO THE SPACE MEN MATING WITH THE MONKIES #monsterdon

"Suppose I told you that the planets have formed a federation across the galaxy and we're on a starship on a five year mission…"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon if you were a misanthrope and a vegan you’d be also heavily conflicted.

We missed #monsterdon this weekend on account of being deep in the forest but (a) we watched it during spooky season last year and it was great, (b) we own it now and might watch it again this year, and (c) it was pretty delightful to watch masto experience it this way even if I wasn't joining in

Poor Leonard Nimoy, he just couldn't decide whether he wanted to be known as Spock or not. That glove thing is a pretty desperate attempt to not be Spock, but we all saw through it.

#monsterdon

Where are they coming from? Outer space?"

YES. YES. They're from outer space! She gets it!

#monsterdon

Why is the psychologist on the couch? Who is the patient here?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon so anyways, this movie is just a demonstration of infectious Capgras syndrome. LOL. I hate that my education took away the suspension of disbelief. No, I’m just fine. It’s just another disorder.

Here's our meme moment!

#Monsterdon

I think I'd be heading to the gardening section of my local store to pick up some Round-Up and a weed-wacker at this point. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Oh no! The TransAmerica building is being consumed by The Fog!

Even the fog is ominous now

#monsterdon #invasionofthebodysnatchers

so does the space jelly have like a dimorphism where it infects some people as hosts that it mind controls to do its bidding and other people as fruiting bodies that produce spores to infect more people?
#monsterdon

is this another "regular movie" for #monsterdon because i'm not seeing any low budget catastrophes or really anything B about this movie

He can find a rat turd in a boiling stew pot but miss the huge human-sized plant pods on every block....

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

In the end it turns out it was the masseuse that was the smartest of the lot. Go figure.

#Monsterdon

Vegicidal maniac

#monsterdon

just looks like a massive weed op

#monsterdon

Being pursued by a wide range of 70s footwear.

#Monsterdon

Nimoy has some weird leather archery glove thing, but on backwards?

#Monsterdon

I dunno, the aliens aren't really snatching though, are they? The only body snatching here seems to be by our friend Donald.

#Monsterdon

The whole scale of public health and health departments just isn't up to the task of dealing with a pod people invasion. I mean, even if they notice, what are they going to do about it. Donald needs a flame thrower. This movie needs more flame throwers.

#monsterdon

Never fall asleep near a Large Adult Fetus #monsterdon

My husband is behaving weirdly.

What did he do that is weird?

He took out the garbage. He never does that!

#monsterdon

That's an ending.
#Monsterdon

@_L1vY_ instead, it just screams in existential agony and physical pain....the music of the banjo #monsterdon

Grab a zucchini and run!

Leonard Nimoy saying "You'll be born again in a uncomplicated world" almost makes it sound right

Beating your own clone in the face with a spade, hardcore!

#monsterdon

basically hook me up with pod people, i am cool with pod people, there's no need to knock me out we're all friends here #monsterdon

seriously watch your drinks around Mr Spock in this movie

#monsterdon

i am still not sure what jeff goldblum is in this movie because every time he starts talking my brain just blanks it out because i find him so annoying #monsterdon

There's always that one jackass who refuses to give into the hysteria. #Monsterdon

What's Mr Spock got on his hand, is it kink?

#monsterdon

or maybe it's not a separate morph, it's a different phase in its life cycle, so we'd expect the mind controlled people to eventually all go to spore like that #monsterdon

If it lacks fingerprints it's time to light it on fire.

#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

@paco they knew what they were doing when they made this movie #monsterdon

nimoy as a natalist fascist, don't tell me he's a protagonist here #monsterdon

Kevin McCarthy, the guy smacking on the windshield, was the star of the 1950s Invasion.

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

"Massive bags of cocaine were passed between them"

The 80s was about to dawn

#monsterdon

There's actually a weird psychiatric disorder where people think close loved ones have been replaced with exact duplicates.

#monsterdon

She's breathing hot and heavy for Donald's killer cardigan.

#monsterdon

I think we have the first snatching.

The first thing the alien mind-control parasites did was make the guy put on a brown polyester suit. Those bastards!

#Monsterdon

lol, already we hate the boyfriend

#monsterdon

You hear about Alicia Silverstone picking some random fruit of a tree recently and eating it and posting pics on her instagram? Turns out it was poison. Don't do that.

#monsterdon

don't fall asleep

DON'T... FALL... ASLEEP

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9t-slLl30E)

As always, ty @Taweret for hosting and everyone for the commentary which made this way more interesting! Probably too good of a movie for #Monsterdon but it was a fun time nonetheless.

Once everyone is podded it all falls apart as everyone has forgotten how everything works.

#monsterdon

That was fun. Very similar to the original with much better effects. Have a great night, everyone, and don't forget to water your plants! And oh –never take naps with your dog for... reasons. #Monsterdon

So, our aliens... are just going to cosplay as humans? Or like is society going to break down and they'll have to waft spores to other stars? Is this a setting where planets fall out of habitability all the time?

Anyway, excellent production values and paranoia. And good night!

#monsterdon #invasionofthebodysnatchers

It would've been cooler if she'd done the wiggly eye thing when she did the pod scream. #Monsterdon

Please share the dog human face screen cap

#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

I didn’t get enough sleep last night so I’m getting a kick out of the pod people’s attempts to get the survivors to fall asleep.

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

I like the dart board mounted on the 'dangerous materials' poster.

"Pick your dangerous material of the day."

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Type H. I didn’t notice that before. Type P, one would suppose is the pod folk…

I like how you have to answer the cabbies questions but he won't answer yours

#monsterdon

sound is extremely good the whole time, went and got my headphones and well worth it #monsterdon

it's sort of handy that they have to body double because idk the plants aren't fast, they can only kill you in places where you go to sleep, so you just go and check on your homie's bed to see if they're a pod person or not and you're basically good #monsterdon

@ai6yr Watch-along / commentary on a movie that we vote on each week in #monsterdon This week's is Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

Going out the back door and hiding worked.
Surprising.
Wonder if pod folk are capable of learning.
#Monsterdon

conventional weapons still not confirmed to work against pod people #monsterdon

Okay, so according to IMDB apparently the weird half glove thing on Spock's hand was Spock's idea so that his character would be more memorable and unique and not at all like Spock. Spock, Spock, Spock! Why can't I escape you, Spock!

#monsterdon

Nemoy's single leather glove is freaking me out. 😂 Is he concerned that he may go falconing at any moment?

#Monsterdon

How did people talk to each about shit about nude conspiracies across distance without Internet message boards even? Savage times!

#monsterdon

Mud Bath Lady's ideas on Interstellar warfare tactics intrigues me, is this is Starmaker?

#monsterdon

See the Transamerica Pyramid again, as Spock and Donald Sutherland are chatting....It Knows....

#monsterdon

🤦‍♂️ Oh God, I've been watching the 1956 Invasion of the Body Snatchers, not the 1978 one. I kept thinking, "so one of these kids is Jeff Goldblum, huh?"

#Monsterdon

Soylent.... uhhh

#monsterdon

Have they tried injecting them with bleach? Or shoving a UV light up their ass? Many people are saying those are effective cures. #Monsterdon

The 1970s were peak "Women exist to either panic or be told to shut up" era of cinema. 🤨 I swear, it's worse than the 50s or 60s.

#Monsterdon

@jonny Teamwork makes the dream work! #RunningDiveUnderTheDesk #MonsterDon

"It's a monster, it's got hair all over it"

I'm not a fan of hairy guys either but that's a bit much

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon sure sure sure. You are a vegan up until the plants get revenge. Making meat! This has to really give vegans a huge batch of conflicted feelings.

@Taweret I cringed
