Soundtrack continues to be excellent, second favorite part of the movie after the high-budget VFX bits.

#Monsterdon

@Infoseepage I keep thinking "almond milk" and that sht! ain't right! #MonsterDon

I'm disappointed in them for using bagpipes.

They had clearly set up that banjo was going to be important

#monsterdon

@paco When bad instruments happen to good songs...

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon (earlier we saw an active pod flower next to a homeless man spooning with his dog, i assume this ended up becoming the man-dog)

So wait did they hear big pipes? Is there a pipe in nearby?

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Grabbing an axe sets off the alarms? Well thought out, Alarm Guy. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

ah, the axe. what a versatile tool. #monsterdon

@lytta it would make more sense as a strategy because they probably usually eat the husk bodies afterwards too so it doesn't leave a trace. #monsterdon

@trixter Yeah, last century #Monsterdon

@brooke you're the man now dog #monsterdon

...Well, I guess the boot's on the other foot now #Monsterdon

This is some real John Grisham chase scene music we're getting #monsterdon

I did really like the on-sceren chemistry between Donald Sutherland and Brooke Adams, though. There just isn't a lot of room in this movie for a romance subplot

(somehow, despite a 2 hour runtime)

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe You mean five years ago? Back at the start?

#Monsterdon

@jwisser To be fair, running in heels were also in the 1956 version.

#Monsterdon

Wouldn't it be better to distribute all the pods by truck? This seems to be busywork for the zombies #monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie ... we don't have a chance, do we? #MonsterDon

#Monsterdon mandog!

Man. Remember when this movie was about Don harrassing restaurant owners? #Monsterdon

*gryn* The dog is one of the things I remember from seeing this in the theaters.

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

So one half pods, one half grow operation. Not bad. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

wow, they only legalized weed like a couple months ago, this is an amazing operation! #monsterdon

Would becoming a pod person help me work on my relationship with myself? Would I be less a slave to my hormones? If so, I'm in. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

10 whole minutes for Matthew to run around doing… whatever. I'm not really very invested at this point.

#Monsterdon

Holy hell. The dog!

#monsterdon

Hmm this is a previously unseen part of the pod people lifecycle, I have questions

#Monsterdon

@lytta yeah they have captured the ports the game is over #monsterdon

Matthew, it's nap time.
#Monsterdon
#InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

She's trying to entice him to bed with her planty boobs. Don's too smart to fall for that trick, though.

#monsterdon

@jonny

No no.

It's painless.

It's good.

#Monsterdon

They remembered the nips on this one! #monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 I like pods now! #Monsterdon

Immediately silenced by bare titties. Shame on you Donald. #Monsterdon

@SRLevine Yep. Bagpipes playing "Amazing Grace."

Thankfully they say that there's no love or hate after being converted to a pod person. So that means there will be no bagpipes either. #monsterdon

She’s a pod but she’s naked. Quite the dilemma. #Monsterdon

Nude Conspiracies!

#monsterdon

@darrenmorin Is the appearance of the #mawg just supposed to indicate that DNA is being mixed with wild abandon?

#Monsterdon

EVEN ON THE SHIPS!?
Podcasters are everywhere now...
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Um. She's already turned, isn't she?

#monsterdon

OH SURE, NOW she has nipples. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

@Taweret OK, she has nipples now.

#monsterdon

Oh dear

#monsterdon

eeeeeew #Monsterdon

oh oh oh these practical effects are crazy. #monsterdon

this is given Meierlink taking his love up to the spaceship vibes rn. #monsterdon

Ok, at ~1:41 the musical score took a turn for the maybe it's bagpipes maybe's it's not? But I'm bad at recognizing instruments.

#Monsterdon

Bagpipes. No plant could ever love bagpipes. They have found salvation in the horror that is the highlands.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

🎵 A-MA-ZING Grace, how sweet, the screech, that sav-ed, a pod, LIIIIIKE MEEEEEE 🎵

#monsterdon

"That was sweet of him" not so much as you might think #monsterdon

The tired eepy strikes again! #monsterdon

@lorgonumputz At last we know how daddy is doing. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

Type H

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

pod stonks 📈
#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Ah yes, the San Francisco-Glasgow Express. #monsterdon

"Just here for our fresh shipment of pods!"

#Monsterdon

Pretty sure there's some kind of ethics rule that they shouldn't be working on the same case while in a relationship #monsterdon

Oh no! It's the okra ship!

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Oh no the banjos. Cuz those were the worst part of that scene :blobsleepless:

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@paco @Victorsigmoid didnt know they had snapchat filters in 1978

#monsterdon

"Of all of the people I've made into pod people. He was the most.... human..." *bag pipes play amazing grace* #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Bagpipes as a sign of Humanity

#monsterdon

Suddenly I'm watching the end of L.A. Story

#Monsterdon

this is scotty playing at the funeral for lenoard nimoy's career playing anyone other than spock

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

@jonny ooooh now it makes sense

#Monsterdon

Turns out the pod people HATE Amazing Grace on bagpipes. It's their only weakness.

#monsterdon

GOOD THING WE TOOK A HANDFUL OF AMPHETAMINES!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon (Bagpipes playing Amazing Grace) I guess this means they killed Leonard Nimoy's character.

@Victorsigmoid This guy? #monsterdon

"I'll be right back, don't turn into a pod person while I'm gone." #Monsterdon

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK!!!??? ARE YOU SPLITTING UP!!!???

#monsterdon

The other moral of the movie: find shoes other than heels when you're trying to run away! #Monsterdon

That dog wasn't even the thing from the meme! We haven't even gotten to that scene yet! #monsterdon

amazing grace on the bagpipes, nope, nevermind, humanity's doomed. let it die. #monsterdon

*smashing Nimoy with a bottle* that's what your froo-froo speech gets you!! #Monsterdon

@funkula 🙇 🙇 🙇

#Monsterdon

The lingering shot of shifting curtains with the ghastly hissss is a great shot. #monsterdon

Everyone gets a pod of their own to take home. How nice! #Monsterdon

@diazona solar sail interstellar fungi #monsterdon

What happens if you put pod people through the soylent green machine?

#monsterdon

OH GOOD YOU SAID IT BACK took you long enough dude #monsterdon

#Monsterdon "will you accept the upgrade?"

Damn, I bet that will make some primo sashimi.

#monsterdon

so many perfect shots in this film

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

And now I'm convinced there is no dog! #Monsterdon

Thinking about how my autistic issues with making readable facial expressions without conscious effort would be really helpful surviving the pod people #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow

I was a few minutes early. Oh well.

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@jonny I guess it must be yeah

There's also the question of aim though

#Monsterdon

@forestine I'm glad I'm not the only person shouting about Mort Garson's Plantasia tonight #monsterdon

So is this Ikea? #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

Omg it's such a simple thing, but that dog still looks utterly horrifying in his very brief screen time.
THE LICK. The lick is what makes the whole shot so good.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

@wohali@octodon.social still freaks me out after all these years #monsterdon

even pod people can be forklift certified

#Monsterdon

@_L1vY_

It's Bay Area (Bio)Techbro logic. The new life forms are Large Legume Models.

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

"The yellow zone is for loading and unloading only."

The yellow zone has always been for loading and unloading only. There is no stopping in the white or red zones. #Monsterdon

I was going to say, this movie is holding up pretty well, then I saw the Mawg.
#Monsterdon

That's the ugliest dog I've ever seen

#Monsterdon

@trixter Definitely not on my bingo card of "nightmare fuel from #monsterdon" for today

Oh right, the speed they took

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

loving everyones dog reactions lmaooo
