I think this is the only thing other than ALIEN that I've seen Veronica Cartwright in.

#Monsterdon

Speaking of pods, Stan is quite something. 😆

#Monsterdon

@paco @Callalily I remember old TVs having capability for sound output jacks, I think it was possible to listen to TV via headphone in the 1970s. #Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Awww, Geoffrey sent a pod bouquet to make up

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

we have tissue walrus! #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

"...what is it?"
"Well, it's not a rat turd, that's for sure."

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Ah yes 10 hour loop of empty mud bath ambience

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Is it the Space Flowers or the unsanitary conditions in the mud baths? Jury is still out on this one #Monsterdon

That man was pickled. To death?
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Nobody freaks out like Veronica Cartwright. Just perfection. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

okay when you find a weird corpse you call the cops. like i don't normally advocate calling the cops for most things, but finding a weird corpse is one where you do

#monsterdon

@benlockwood Luckily we have an extra 45-ish minutes of runtime 🙃

#Monsterdon

Heh you could see him breathing in that shot when they flip the sheet back, haha

#monsterdon

Olaf Stapledon mentioned 💫 #monsterdon

That moment was really perfect timing for a Chik-fil-a ad. Thanks, Tubi. 😂 #Monsterdon

Jeff: "Who is it?!"

IT'S THE PLUMBER I'VE COME TO FIX YOUR SINK

AND ALSO BRING YOU THIS PLANT

#Monsterdon

monsterdon more like monsteradon
#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Jeffry is jealous and hovering.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

This movie is a real hurry up and wait situation so far #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon i hope someone's arm gets eaten by a pod

Yikes!
#Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial OOOOF.

#monsterdon

i'm not sure suffocation is among his problems anymore. #monsterdon

womp womp womp wooooomp [sad horn]

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

These two are most definitely doing it #monsterdon

He wishes now to be known as "Jellyfish Jefferey"

#monsterdon

@lytta whatever it is it is not allowed #monsterdon

#Monsterdon DAvid the gaslighter

"Bellicec Mud Baths" hits differently these days #monsterdon

WHAT HIS EYES JUST DO #monsterdon

1970s - when people didn't give a shit about the gash in their car window or anything else

#monsterdon

@paco Who's going to tell him the book is upside down? (I know, just for the joke) and besides those picture books get the job done even if they're upside down, or so I've heard! #MonsterDon

*plant sounds intensify*
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Wait, Ikea's been making that same lamp since 1978????? #Monsterdon

That has got to be one of the least sensual or therapeutic massage scenes I've ever seen. If it's not one or the other is it even massage?

#Monsterdon

Brooke Adams has a bit of a Debra Winger vibe.

#Monsterdon

@bunnyhero there was a place over on Bathurst just N of Queen on the W side that I imagine must have been like that when it was open....

#monsterdon

Starmaker is good because it admits to being sci-fi. Worlds in Collision... not so much.

#Monsterdon

That's how you can tell she's a pod person, because if it was really 1978 and she was playing music for the plants, she would put on Mort Garson's Plantasia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0vrsO3_HpU #monsterdon

@wohali i'd rather not #monsterdon

I love it when my science fiction gives me science fiction recommendations. #Monsterdon

ooo, that was some creepy squelchy crunch noises. this movie really knows what's it's doing with sound design. #monsterdon

More aspestos padding out the props?

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

This scene is going to turn into Spirited Away

#monsterdon

Romance is nice, but I’d like a movie where the nice work friends stay nice work friends. Just for the novelty.
#monsterdon #invasionofthebodysnatchers1978

Jeff Goldblum, at the Bathhouse, with a Lonely Island video

#Monsterdon

I think this book guy might be a normal weirdo instead of a pod person #monsterdon

"Thanks for that plant you gave me" Oh What a Giveaway! #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Was that a crow or a person screaming? Where's the bearded guy going? #monsterdon

FEED ME

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

A mud coating and slap massage doesn't sound bad

#monsterdon

"...what's wrong with him?"
"Mud overdose."

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

I wish I could turn off the fucky motion option on the TV but it has 3 remote controls and I fear all of them #monsterdon

This must have been an actual business -- can you imagine? being in a stall next to a bunch of other stalls full of bubbling mud??

#monsterdon

Oddly, despite people climbing out with mud all over them, the mud level only goes up over time. From people "farting" in the mud baths. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

@Taweret the bubbling in his bath is somewhat unsettling too #Monsterdon

"ask about out Aqua-Surge Whirlpool Dip!"

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

@Taweret Mebbie it's a dirty book? --dad #MonsterDon

Okay, seriously. It's a movie in 1978, set in San Francisco. We have an authority figure, a psychiatrist, a discipline supposedly informed by humanism. And he's telling women their perceptions about people close to them are wrong, and that this is utimately due to rapid changes in social mores about relationships and commitment.
#monsterdon

@Taweret I won't even take a book in the regular bath (which is why I don't like baths, too boring without a book).

#Monsterdon

...Is this spa where you become gay?

#Monsterdon

holy cow, has Jeff ever eaten anything? give that man a steak or something. #monsterdon

Just use the nerve pinch, Spock!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon After the dip, we squeegee you off, and then marinate you in a sweet and sour sauce before sliding you into a 350 degree oven and ... I mean, we let you shower and get dressed. Yeah, that's what I meant.

@diazona I've seen some things in london town, but never that.... #monsterdon

70s bullshit botany. #Monsterdon

More Pod Fluff!

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

The book:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worlds_in_Collision

Worlds in Collision is a book by Immanuel Velikovsky published in 1950. The book postulates that around the 15th century BC, the planet Venus was ejected from Jupiter as a comet or comet-like object and passed near Earth (an actual collision is not mentioned). The object allegedly changed Earth's orbit and axis, causing innumerable catastrophes that are mentioned in early mythologies and religions from around the world. The book has been heavily criticized as a work of pseudoscience and catastrophism, and many of its claims are completely rejected by the established scientific community as they are not supported by any available evidence.

#monsterdon

Jeff Goldblum has emotions #monsterdon

Rasputin reads trash #Monsterdon

a book in the mud bath seems poorly considered

#monsterdon

Oooh I think those big clumps of cat hair everywhere are what the newspaper clipping meat by "webs"?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Who wants to see the world's muddiest buffalo shot?

yo what do we get to see shirtless Goldblum? #monsterdon

@srol To go with the random nude photography sessions?

(to be clear he was the photographer)

#Monsterdon

There's that pile of grey dryer lint again!
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Snuggle 'im while you got 'im I guess #monsterdon

Did this suddenly become Three Women? #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

Trash can full of lint? better get that truck over

#monsterdon
#InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Take her home Matthew, don't take her to the bed
#monsterdon

@lytta he should keep his gawddamned hands on the gawddamn steering wheel while the car is in motion. #Monsterdon

Jeff Goldblum never changes. 😂

#Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 it's a weird shibboleth for not being a pod person, but it's the only thing that's been set up like that so far #monsterdon

Nimoy!psych is being very unprofessional by trying to treat random people on the street.

...Was it still normal in the 70s for men to hire psychs to 'fix' their wives and daughters? #monsterdon

Eh. Guy yelling about danger in San Francisco.

To me, it's a Tuesday.

#monsterdon

Whelp, the slug flower is in a glass of water on the nightstand. Goodbye. #monsterdon

"A good night's sleep wouldn't hurt" I see what you did there movie. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

So Leonard is playing the psychologist version of that one doctor in the original who got the kid assimilated by his aunt. #Monsterdon

maybe i'm not Mirror Nimoy's type, but that situation didn't make me wanna shut off my emotions, it made me wanna punch him and then never have anything to do with him ever again. points to Nimoy for playing such as asshole convincingly. #monsterdon

Time to read the #Monsterdon hashtag and figure out what happend in the first 34 minutes.

🦖 #MONSTERDON 🎞️

🚨 LOOKOUT 🚨

👀 The Director suggested actors make funny faces when not talking in scenes. He even had Brooke Adams do "the thing with her eyes" as part of that scene.

#InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers1978

In the 70s most psychotherapy sessions took place on darkened street corners

#monsterdon

Literally ignoring the women and minorities that are sounding the alarm. typical

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Hallucinatory flu!

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Wall phone slurped that cord like spaghetti and we zoomed in on that for some reason. #monsterdon

I would never want to see Nimoy get slapped, but I would like to see this character get slapped.

#Monsterdon

@lytta @sundiesel yeah the pod people are definitely like actively mind controlled instead of just being made braindead like zombies, so i guess when a disease can hijack its host to actively spread it then you have more virulence than the transmission vector alone would imply #monsterdon

Wow, Nimoy being a condescending jerk kinda made me feel punchy for a second

#Monsterdon

My main takeaway so far is this woman needs some friends who aren't men. #monsterdon
