Soundtrack continues to be excellent, second favorite part of the movie after the high-budget VFX bits.
@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
@paco When bad instruments happen to good songs...
#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?
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)
@CactuarJoe You mean five years ago? Back at the start?
@jwisser To be fair, running in heels were also in the 1956 version.
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.
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.
Holy hell. The dog!
Hmm this is a previously unseen part of the pod people lifecycle, I have questions
@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.
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
Sheβs a pod but sheβs naked. Quite the dilemma. #Monsterdon
Nude Conspiracies!
@darrenmorin Is the appearance of the #mawg just supposed to indicate that DNA is being mixed with wild abandon?
EVEN ON THE SHIPS!?
Podcasters are everywhere now...
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78
Um. She's already turned, isn't she?
OH SURE, NOW she has nipples. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978
@Taweret OK, she has nipples now.
Oh dear
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.
Bagpipes. No plant could ever love bagpipes. They have found salvation in the horror that is the highlands.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78
π΅ A-MA-ZING Grace, how sweet, the screech, that sav-ed, a pod, LIIIIIKE MEEEEEE π΅
"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
pod stonks π
#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78
Ah yes, the San Francisco-Glasgow Express. #monsterdon
"Just here for our fresh shipment of pods!"
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!
Oh no the banjos. Cuz those were the worst part of that scene :blobsleepless:
@paco @Victorsigmoid didnt know they had snapchat filters in 1978
"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
Suddenly I'm watching the end of L.A. Story
this is scotty playing at the funeral for lenoard nimoy's career playing anyone other than spock
@jonny ooooh now it makes sense
Turns out the pod people HATE Amazing Grace on bagpipes. It's their only weakness.
GOOD THING WE TOOK A HANDFUL OF AMPHETAMINES!
#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!!!???
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 π π π
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?
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.
so many perfect shots in this film
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
@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
It's Bay Area (Bio)Techbro logic. The new life forms are Large Legume Models.
"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
@trixter Definitely not on my bingo card of "nightmare fuel from #monsterdon" for today
Oh right, the speed they took
loving everyones dog reactions lmaooo
