oooo hey's *gooey* #Monsterdon

okay that's some deep and weird surroundsound

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

oooh it's MEGA SPACE FLOWER

#Monsterdon

Why is the pod person's face so tiny
#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

Now would actually be a really good spot to needle-drop Mort Garson's Plantasia #monsterdon

Is that the sound they used in hunt for red october? Are these russians?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Hey that looks like the weird veg I picked up at the farmer's market... Hang on I thought I heard something going to go investigate.

Not sleeping in the garden anymore.

#Monsterdon

I wonder what ever happened to the rat turd

#monsterdon

Puuussssshhhh!

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

These flowers come with their own ultrasound? Neat.

#Monsterdon

AHHHH THE FLESH IS BLOOMING #monsterdon

If you're worried about people being replaced, maybe don't all sleep at the same time? #Monsterdon

these are definitely the slowest facehuggers though

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

I guess this pod would be a fantastic ultrasound machine, based on the sounds.

#monsterdon

@sean

Be me, Seymour!

#Monsterdon

I've never actually seen #BodySnatchers78 before. I think my brother and I fell asleep on it when our parents took us to the drive-in.

#Monsterdon

@lytta i haven't touched grass since like 2016, so i'm safe. (^_^) #monsterdon

DON HOW DID YOU NOT SEE THOSE THERE #Monsterdon

I remember that Woolworths #monsterdon

Feed me Seymour!

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmWHAT #monsterdon

touch grass? no, grass touch you!
#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Man that effect looks really good, despite me knowing they're just running the film backwards.

#monsterdon

Automatic Elevator. #monsterdon

@brooke BOTANY BAY?! Awww man you guys are watching Star Trek! #MonsterDon

Oh to be a deputy public health inspector in San Francisco locking your garden gate! #monsterdon

...it's quiet enough I'm waiting for an explosion #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon most of this movie is about medical-adjacent men in authority downplaying the concerns of women 🤷‍♀️

@ottaross we have 50 more minutes for that to happen #Monsterdon

@jonny @Taweret Well if you had to sequence the genome by old-school non-automated methods it's *a lot* longer than 48 hours. But even if it magically appeared I assumed you'd have to cross reference it to other known genomes by hand if you didn't have access to what would have been a super computer in 1978? Did Cray exist then? (a quick wiki check says yes!)

#Monsterdon

"I can't understand why you've become so emotional about a little flower."

Okay, there's a lot going on with gender in this movie.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon negotiating over how long the chemical tests take

Great, the pod guy accuses Elizabeth of being emotional #monsterdon

@ricci I REALLY hope so, because otherwise the camera guy has some kind of weird kin... nuthin! #MonsterDon

@athena_rising @jammerb TIL that was a real thing... I've seen pay phones when I was a kid, but never one that could take an incoming call

#Monsterdon #HistoryOfPhones

will we even know if or when Nimoy guy turns into a pod person?? It could be literally at any time I feel like. #monsterdon

"SON OF A...."

I just saw Spock get into the car. Shit.

#monsterdon

Goldblum why have you forsaken the “Uh”. 😭 #monsterdon

I'm gonna go with Ripley's Corollary here. We should take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

How are they not on to David yet?? #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

The giant MRI machine is back

Whomp…whomp…whomp…whomp

#Monsterdon

@Taweret yes but he gave away the tickets to a sporting event and he's into sports #monsterdon

the street scenes make it appear that the pod take-over has or has nearly reached critical mass
#Monsterdon

Have they tried just burning everything down? #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

Drugging up the women is the most 70s thing about this movie. #Monsterdon

cut away to a falling leaf. Ominous I guess? #monsterdon

@jammerb Well, likely he gave them the number on the phone, and they called him back. There were some that couldn’t take incoming calls, but many did. #HistoryOfPhones on #Monsterdon

Not the first time flower has made people in San Francisco act weird, am I right #Monsterdon #DavesNotHereMan #Monsterdank

"This is how you get Xenomorphs. Do you want Xenomorphs?" #monsterdon

@Taweret is there BLAST in 1978 or how did you identify stuff #monsterdon

@socketwench you'll see..... #monsterdon

@foolishowl Whoa! Slow down I can't write this fast! #MonsterDon

#Monsterdon "no one expects the metal ships inquisition!"

Mr Bennel, we'd like to talk to you about your car's extended warranty.

#Monsterdon

The pod alien hive mind hates shortwave. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

@Taweret but it is pregnant

#Monsterdon

"...isn't there 24 hour news?"
"Nope, CNN hasn't been invented yet."

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@socketwench and his dog!

#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

#Monsterdon *botany* y'all

Are these low-angle shaky POV shots from a body-snatched dog?

#monsterdon

the ominous vibes thru this whole movie ​:BlobCat_ChefsKiss:​
#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

"Excuse me, my other phone is ringing" is the lazyman's version of "I gotta go, my wife's giving me the wrap-it-up signal." #monsterdon

@Taweret Don't leave the boys in the lab alone with those things! #MonsterDon

MR. BENNELL IT'S THE PLUMBERS WE NEED TO FIX YOUR SINK

ALSO WE ARE VERY CONCERNED THAT YOU HAVE NOT HAD A NAP LATELY AND THAT YOUR APARTMENT IS PLANT-FREE

#Monsterdon

"I'll see you soon, I hope." Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh

#Monsterdon

"I'll see you soon I hope" AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

He's receiving calls at random pay phones? I don't think that's how they worked

#monsterdon
#InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

the pods learned how to smile at least... they're clearly learning and improving their acting bit by bit #monsterdon

Wow! Pay phones!
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon at about 1:05 the director is knocking on the phone booth that Donald Sutherland is occupying.

that is such a glitzy phone booth!!

#monsterdon

@h3net "Right next to the dog faced boy!" #AgainWrongHashtag #MOnsterdon

partner: Oh no is Nimoy Podded
Child: That's just his face

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

I'm sorry, was that person tweezing their nose hair on a wall in a public park?? #Monsterdon

Weird to see the pyramid there not surrounded by much larger buildings and whatnot #monsterdon

Who's barely touching his breakfast - half a banana, half drank coffee, not a single bite of the toast, bacon left on the plate, scrambled eggs still there, and then walking away. For that you're going back and eating the whole goddamn lemon. Was the lemon for the coffee or why is there a lemon there? Is it tea? #monsterdon

@Taweret They have to reverse the flower's polarity and rephase the flower's deflector dish. #Monsterdon

Wow we're really making some Leaps and Bounds on scientific understanding with this crew

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Oh crap. So Nimoy is playing a character who can fake having feelings.
#monsterdon

Nobody else knows, please stay there where you are in a known location and are a sitting duck, kthx

#monsterdon

please do some science tests on this flower and be quick about it

#monsterdon

Have you been noticing something unusual for the last few days?
Yes.
Meet at the square. Next to the pile of pods.

#Monsterdon

Boy Sauron has really let himself go! #WrongHashtag #MonsterDon

@Taweret Is there any other kind in movies though

#Monsterdon

Oh yeah, it's just like that time aliens landed to mate with apes.

Aliens are perverts.

#monsterdon

I feel like this was a common trope in older horror films where you'd need one conspiratorially-minded person in your core group of survivors to be like "i've always been right about everything." #monsterdon

I forgot that Leonard Nimoy's character wears that stupid glove.

#Monsterdon

it talks 48 hours to test a flower FOR ???? what are we testing it for? are we just doing general science testing?

#monsterdon

Veronica Cartwright working up to her next role. Too bad she didn't remember.

#monsterdon

Ok, who is going to make the indepenence day reference after the little men in ships (I think that was the term Goldblum used) comment?

#Monsterdon

Nooooo Nimoy!!

#Monsterdon

LOL the slant on news streets that wasn't just camera angle

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

SPACE FLOWER!
Earth flowers are easy?
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

"So, what is the Mean Guy On Your Shoulder telling you about the missing duplicate body?" - Nimoy in this movie but it's my therapist instead #Monsterdon

Oh my god she went full Ancient Aliens #monsterdon

I'm still waiting to see if Elizabeth is a pod person since her speaking parts decreased. Also I don't like the way she and goldblum made eye contact. (the movie is pretty insistent this isn't what's happening but WHY BODY DOUBLES instead of controlling people????) #monsterdon

"...they're growing like parasites on other planets" wow very perceptive

(I think she actually said "plants" but this is more fun)

#Monsterdon

Nimoy looks so comfy in that outfit.
And hey that';s not a dutch angle, the street is tilted!
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Why not a space flower indeed! #Monsterdon
