Can I get a pod person replica to do my paper reviews for me?

#monsterdon

Wait whose house is this again? We got a dozen human-sized pods just chilling in the backyard?

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

POD BABIES! :blobaww:

'Cept they are speed running it AAAAAA! #Monsterdon

Sorta juice heartbeat sound for a soundtrack. #monsterdon

Yeah, this is going to help my insomnia.
#monsterdon

This turns out to be a fairly noisy process
#Monsterdon

@strangefour

Wait, that's the plot of Animal House!

#Monsterdon

Nancy saves the day again. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Great practical effects! #monsterdon

just writhing around having a pod party
#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

i feel like if i was asleep the writhing, gasping alien bodies would wake me up but that's just me

#monsterdon

POKE HIM WITH A STICK #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

@jonny they also may be using the tendrils to absorb information like DNA or maybe some of their thoughts #monsterdon

why do I think mega space flower is having an orgasm

#Monsterdon

That is some creepy looking large bean flower thing giving birth to humans.
#Monsterdon
#InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

This is not erotic at all. #Monsterdon

listen, at this point it might be better for Don just not to wake up, i would not want to see that. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #CoffeeWatch speculates that these characters would be immune to the effects of these plants if they had been properly dosed with caffiene at the beginning of this movie!

props to the special effects team for this creepy mess

#monsterdon

@moira You mean Lakers fans? #monsterdon

Oh wow that flower is goopy. I miss when I was not looking at this gooey plant body #Monsterdon

After the movie, visit the

If this scene doesn't happen, Jim Carey never climbs out of the back of the rhino in Ace Ventura 2. #monsterdon

How many Don Sutherlands does one world need? #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

#monsterdon do the pod-blanks quailfy as space babies right after they hatch?

This guy is really a heavy sleeper!
#monsterdon

@lytta questions answered, stun the host while you clone them #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial however, what crowd remains is somehow _more_ emotional than before!

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

this movie has SUCCEEDED at having the creepiest flowers ever. kudos #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers (1978)

@jonny @Taweret If anyone is curious as to what good "old school" sequencing is this wiki article is a good primer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanger_sequencing

I would absolutely never want to do it by hand. That was an entire PhD for a small organism (most plants are not small due to chromosome duplication and weirdness I don't understand in plan biology)

#Monsterdon

slow pan away, then zoom in nice and slow on the janitor. #monsterdon

Pod People Party #monsterdon

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh #monsterdon #invasionofthebodysnatchers1978

Meanwhile, attendance at Golden State Warriors home games have plummeted #monsterdon

I remember being truly terrified of this part as a kid, absolute nightmare fuel for young me
#monsterdon

That’s exactly what I looked like at birth. #Monsterdon

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.

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

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

@sean

Be me, Seymour!

#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

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

@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

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

@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" AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

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

#monsterdon
#InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Wow! Pay phones!
#Monsterdon

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