#Monsterdon I am wondering why the monsters are even bothering to replace the people in this town.
Is this a springboard for taking over more prominent places in the world?
Do they just like cosplaying as 50s people?
Is replacing people the monsters' normal reproductive cycle; if so, how did that come about?
look just whatever you do don't watch the one from 2007, not even for the bit #monsterdon
you know, i always though blow up dolls were manufactured, i didn't know they were birthed out of pods with lots of dish soap. #LiveAndLearn #monsterdon
At least they wear bubbles for modesty's sake #monsterdon
#monsterdon Santa Mira then Rancho Cucomonga
"Why should they take the form of people?"
[She didn't know that the failed plan to morph into pants was used as a learning experience.]
too late, the FBI was always run by pod people. #monsterdon
Life-size Barbies, fresh from your grocer's freezer! #Monsterdon
why is he trying to save the cocoon during a full blown bodysnatching #monsterdon
@msh I blame the strapless dresses #monsterdon
oh wait, he really did tho! #monsterdon
i'm calling the FBI! #monsterdon
@Zerofactorial so much repressed horniness in the 50's it was difficult to fully contain #Monsterdon
@Taweret Do they count as vegan then? #monsterdon
oh THAT'S what he was doing in the basement. i did think it was weird that there was a guy just cheerfully standing around in our basement. but hindsight is 20/20
@CactuarJoe OMG who's watching the burgers!! #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
I mean, I can certainly see the whole communist-brainwashing-allegory angle #Monsterdon
If only they had Roundup in the 1950s #monsterdon
*fart* #Monsterdon
Riffing aside: This is a great creepy scene. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
Sooo the cookout's off? #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Not looking forward to the expectation that most of this movie will follow the pattern of people being gaslit and trying to figure out if they're getting gaslit or not.
It might get a bit tedious.
That feel when you need a martini, babe #monsterdon
Burn a martini? Clearly an alien. #monsterdon
@RobynGoodfellow If I ever said that, it would be proof I had been replaced by a pod person. #Monsterdon
What this movie needs is a kaiju emerging from the ocean right about now #monsterdon
this soundtrack also should go to horny jail right about now
Uh oh, Dutch angles #Monsterdon
In the spirit of #Monsterdon and #AllStarTrek watch parties, I briefly considered doing a weekly Disney movie watch party. I didn't know how many people would be interested though, and my organizational and followthrough skills aren't great, so I don't know how long it would last if I started it, lol. #Disney
Pod charcoal doesn't burn
@msh To be fair, the ladies are unusually flirty too #monsterdon
"Maybe they wanted me to feel secure." Sure, doc, the whole world is about you. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
"I woke up this morning and everything was alright" There goes another one. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
"What would you say if I told you I was already mixed up with a doctor?" "Who is he and where does he live!?" #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
Welp she's a pod person now #Monsterdon
I just realised the UHF guy is trying real hard to be brunette Peter Graves. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
uuuuugh straight people #Monsterdon
Wearing pants? Must be a pod person. #Monsterdon
@bunnyhero Yeah, I thought that conversation was going in a different direction till then #monsterdon
go directly to horny jail. do not pass go. #Monsterdon
Women don't like amorous guys in the morning. They come up with strategies like "orange juice".
"go on home. just your average mysterious unidentified corpse burning on a hay bale. happens every weekend." #monsterdon
"Break it up! Or BANG! POW! Straight to the moon!" #Monsterdon
@RobynGoodfellow Not considering how many drinks they all have been throwing back #monsterdon
@Louisa
There's some history there
"Bland and expressionless, like William Shatner. It happens." #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
You have to admit. This does all sound extremely insane. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
How to tell I'm a pod person #2. "Hey, you got "Hotel California on this thing?" #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
Where's Spock?! WE WANT SPOCK!! wait, my bad, wrong Body Snatchers Invasion ...

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers #LeonardNimoy
#Monsterdon I am less than convinced by the scene where the main guy lights one match and then we're supposed to believe that that helps him see around the "dark" basement.
miles o'brian was here too? jeez, that man gets into all kinds of wacky straits! #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
you could kill a man by shoving pretty much anything into his brain
Coffee makes everything better. :blobcat_coffee: #Monsterdon
We all want to see Becky's bodies, frankly #monsterdon
I stand corrected, they did leave two people... but one was a 50s horror movie lady so her main job was to scream in terror and then flee.
This should have been a crossover with the last #Monsterdon movie with Godzilla and Megaguirus, and the lady should have been the Japanese Major lady with the big ears.
If worse came to worse, then Major Ears could have drop kicked the pod person, or fired a bazooka at it.
the one lady is Morticia from the old addams family show btw
How to tell I'm a pod person #1: "These boiled peas are great! More please!" #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
Back in the 1950s you had to have a special motor and cord attachment to wake a woman up. #Monsterdon
I think more burglars should wear smoking jackets when plying their trade #monsterdon
@RobynGoodfellow Incinerator? Incinerated him, too! #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
using a match to light the way much more dramatic than using the LED on your mobile like they would do if this movie was made now #Monsterdon
Man, what a HUGE chest freezer! Where do you even get one of those? They must've converted the morgue supply guys first thing! #Monsterdon
Good thing no one keeps anything flammable in their basement. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
sometimes dumpster diving is great, sometimes it is a really, really bad idea. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
"Does this basement smell like gas to you?" #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
#monsterdon That scream was only a 3.8 on the Una O'Connor scale.
@RobynGoodfellow It's the UHF guy, he's not smart
I gotta say, our protagonist has really gone from zero to break the law in zero point one seconds. #Monsterdon
You know, as bizarre as this whole Earth Invasion plan is, it seems to be going a lot more effectively than whatever the aliens in Plan 9 From Outer Space were attempting ...

@trixter It doubles as a catapult #Monsterdon
Finally starting to catch on. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
YIKES what's going on with that car's suspension #Monsterdon
1950s suspension must've made every car like riding a bouncy house
it' alive it's ALIVE! :blobastonished: #Monsterdon
nothing makes testimony more reliable than alcohol
Wow, surprisingly reasonable reaction. #Monsterdon
"What are you doing in the basement this time of night?" Some questions you REALLY don't want an answer to. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
Dad's a mushroom person probably #monsterdon
@moira My work here is done. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
#monsterdon Yeah like I want to spend the night watching the half-assed doppleganger of myself.
@bunnyhero That's a special kind of awkward. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
Billiards table?? Did not deserve that. #monsterdon
jesus his voice, he's still just the UHF guy I'm so mad
@Taweret yeah that's silly everyone knows a pickup truck or at least an SUV the size of a small house makes much more sense #Monsterdon
The guy's pod person replacement is in fact played by his real-life stunt double
#Monsterdon Oh no they're inviting the guy to see the space monster and get mind controlled I guess this is bad I think?
And there's a DEAD BODY under the sheet! With Ominous Music!
ooooooWoooooo.....!!!!
It'd be hilarious if they made all this fuss and it was just a really good mannequin. #Monsterdon
"Quit acting like a writer ... WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE, MICKEY SPILLANE?!"
@bunnyhero Good catch! I totally missed that! When she's blonde she's Morticia's sister ;-) #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
hollywood invented and popularized pool so they would have places to lay out bodies and reason to have fighting sticks at arms reach #monsterdon
It's William Shatner. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers #spoilers
blonde morticia addams! #monsterdon
subtle cuckoo clock there #monsterdon
oh no! not a GIANT NOSE under a SHEET! #monsterdon
Great. Who'd you kill this time? #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
Miles: You would know if I was a Pod Person in bed wouldn't you?
Becky: Well...
That would've been a great musical reveal IF WE COULD SEE ANYTHING! #Monsterdon
DUN DUN DUNNNNNN #monsterdon
"Is this an example of your bedside manner, doctor?"
"That comes later."
...and so do I πππ
