@ricci honestly I would assume it goes forward and they try to find the original and kill them?? they are probably sedating them with their tendrils though #monsterdon
@paco how did they get video of my lab?
#monsterdon
It took an alien invasion for her to break up with Jeffrey Pod and kiss that fine mustache.
That pier is probably now a Blue Bottle coffee roastary.
Puppy! Banjoman!
Um maybe don't just kick the pod. Like kick it down a hill atleast. Try to wake the man up. Something?
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78
sleep in SHIFTS dog you already KNOW that #monsterdon
@ricci I think the pod person takes over the original person's licenses so none of their bodily functions are allowed to run any more #monsterdon
Bleh. Like kissing a bath brush. #Monsterdon
@CactuarJoe oh, yeah i sure missed that. #monsterdon
Do Type H have a smell to them?
Is this the most appropriate time for kissing? #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978
aw the main leads get to kiss while staying as quiet as possible so they don't die #monsterdon
#monsterdon Director of the original movie was the cab driver in this version according to the commentary
Also that pod that got dinged up by the banjo player went on to play a bit role in Full Metal Alchemist.
@lytta but like what if the person, say, wakes up and runs off? does the pod not hatch?
It's SCIENCE! #Monsterdon
this movie is very tense
Wait. Wait. How did they get from partway-to-the-airport to City Center? That seems… difficult. #Monsterdon
@ricci Sortof a Schroedingers Pod? #MonsterDon
also, did i miss what happened to Jeff G's wife? did she just kinda disappear from this movie, or...? #monsterdon
@ricci I'm going with the no-cloning theorem, and that the mind is inherently quantum, but then they threw that out when growing multiple Sutherlands. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978
WILL WE EVER GET CLOSURE ON THE BANJO GUY AND HIS DOG!?
@ricci I think they just kill the person after they duplicate them? #monsterdon
So much creepier than the chase scene in the original version of the film #monsterdon
@moira #Monsterdon
#BodySnatchers78
guessing Jerry GarciaDog, should be coming up soon?
(so annoyed that I'm missing this...)
@ricci nah like the protagonist is doing fine you could just hang out and make a bunch of pod versions of you i dont see an issue #monsterdon
No, telling her there actually isn't a problem isn't helping her. #monsterdon
@ai6yr #Monsterdon is awesome!
@lytta omg didn't expect that
Where is a poet going to get help against an alien invasion? #Monsterdon
Pooch Pod
This movie is just about being the last two humans on earth, then? #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978
They'll never look for us here...at my work.

#monsterdon they're all pods
Harry and Pooch, the local homeless guy and his dog that everybody knows. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978
The action of this movie happens in an alternate reality where the punk movement never happened in time #monsterdon
pod cabbie #Monsterdon
lol you can kill a pod by kicking it? #monsterdon
Slowly make eye contact, slowly look back. #monsterdon
i mean, surely you could simply not take a cab to the airport? just hotwire a car or something? even walking would be better rn. #monsterdon
Ooh a shoe and pants fashion parade
what is it? It's you. You're type H.
Time to skip out on the fare, guys #Monsterdon
The red light district is still safe from the pods.
No one sleeps down in fuck town.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78
@brooke I see what you did there 😂
Pods walk together in rhythm.
Pods do not run.
Scream pods. Scream.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78
Ah yes, the famous burrito barkers of San Francisco, each trying to get passersby to visit their burrito stand. #monsterdon
@brooke #StartsSobbing I, I don't know how to parse that sentence! WHICH WAY?! #VeryClever #MonsterDon
I keep getting reminded of Woman on the Run, a 1950 noir movie in San Francisco.
#monsterdon
Are the people trying to get passersby into strip clubs MORE or LESS likely to be pod people? 🤔
I'm glad that businesses around here don't hire people to damn near kidnap people from the street. #Monsterdon
Type H, guys. TYPE H. H FOR HUMAN GET OUT #Monsterdon
I like to think that all of Jeff Goldblum’s movies take place in the same cinematic universe #Monsterdon

Type H
#monsterdon
I keep expecting a harpsichord to suddenly blare in these tense scenes this is throwing me off #monsterdon
type h.
#monsterdon
Seedy taxi outside seedy strip joint, imagine those seats....
Leonard Nimoy took the nuddie photo for the strip joint. True story.
If the alien pods had landed in San Francisco ten years earlier they'd have had a hard time, because without the drought nobody would dream of falling asleep outdoors. It rained all the time in the Bay Area #monsterdon
Oh damn he is podded
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78
"Type H, repeat Type H"
Okay, now that the action scene is over, it's time to bring the pace back to a crawl. We've got a whole 30 minutes to fill out here.
Goodbye Jeff Goldblum.
Those cops are gonna pod the hell out of you in a dark alley.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78
Funhouse mirror stretched reflection of Goldblum's face. #monsterdon
"I'd rather let the pod people get me."
guaranteed to make you feel like a new plant
#monsterdon
@CactuarJoe You misspelled boo... oh booTs! right. #MonsterDon
#Monsterdon time to show what a hoe can do
"Here I am you pod bastard" - One of the great heroic lines, I think he got it from Homer
@steggy @Zerofactorial Even got the slime inside #Monsterdon
So why do the pods need to pod EVERYBODY? would it be easier to just kill them? Subdue them? What's the point of the slow ... everything? #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978
walk like a pod per-son
luckily i can't have plants in my house because i have cats so im basically safe from being pod personed
“Not one of us!” #Monsterdon
Donald Sutherland wakes up halfway through the clone process so the pod people end up Roger daltrey #Monsterdon
uh oh ...
Pod people got nice boots #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon "how can they cut the power, man? they're pods!?"
@ai6yr
Every week there's a vote for a monster movie, and a bunch of people all watch it together on Sunday at 6p EST and make fun of it with the #monsterdon tag. It's actually a lot of fun, if you're available. If you don't want to see the comments, you can block the tag instead so it doesn't clutter up your feed.
@steggy Mmm, I love okra #monsterdon
@Taweret Very squicky, someone really knew their craft #monsterdon
"Jesus!" she said, pointing at the helicopter.
I wonder where Jesus went to flight school.
The funny part is those are just regular cops, they didn't need to be pod-similated.
Did the pods START with people in position of authority? Or is it just about everybody? If they started with people in authority, how did the spores know? #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978
@ricci Could be worse, could be taco bell! #RunningDiveUnderTheDesk #MonsterDon
Lebeau! Get down!
Say what you will, I bet these things are good deep-fried with marinara sauce #monsterdon
Oh good, split the party, that always works. #Monsterdon
Goals:
1) Become all higher life forms
2) Turn into bubbles
3) Go back to space
Donald Sutherland looking a little ashy.
Gruesome 😬
also, Jeff needs a road flare if he's gonna do this right. #monsterdon
Damn, we still got half an hour of movie left? How are they gonna draw this out? #Monsterdon
Stairs! Stairs! Stairs! Get ya stairs right here! We got all kindsa stairs, long stair, tall stairs. Great for runnin!
No report about it detail, slyly slipped in there while people have a conversation on either side of a man on the phone. #monsterdon
@ai6yr It's a weekly watch party where we all watch a designated (usually bad) monster movie in sync (ish) and share commentary on it. You'd be welcome to join in (follow #MonsterdonAlert for details), otherwise feel free to mute the tag!
This week's movie is Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) and we are about 3/4 of the way through it.
That's not Jesus, that's just a helicopter, silly. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978
