"Don't fall asleep!"

Hey, good instincts lady! You may yet survive. #Monsterdon

Maybe you shouldn't be touching every part of the hybrid plant man? He could be covered in disease goop that spreads the "infection"?
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

@steggy Bad partners, that's who. #Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Worst fake blood on Goldblum's nose there. :(

#monsterdon

Aw darn he never got to do a sex with elizabeth... #monsterdon

They find the podded-up guy and they call their chiropractor to fix him #monsterdon

#Monsterdon we have podsign

Nobody plays “on the edge of a nervous breakdown” quite like Veronica Cartwright. #Monsterdon

@ricci A man of many talents.

#Monsterdon

elizabeth is having her own problems rn. #monsterdon

Shit just got real, real fast. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Take her home, Matthew.

Her home, Matthew.

#monsterdon

okay what is skate? #monsterdon

The year after this Veronica Cartwright (Nancy Bellicec) was in Alien. Quite a run #monsterdon

@ricci

It was different in San Francisco then.

#Monsterdon

Don't worry, it's just a caper.

#Monsterdon

This really is Mansplaining: The Movie, huh? #Monsterdon

@lytta

Martha Mitchell: The Socialite Turned Watergate Whistleblower Mitchell, the wife of Richard Nixon's attorney general, alleged she was held hostage and drugged after she attempted to talk to the press.

Ugh, that was gross looking.

#Monsterdon

@yatsu yep ^_^

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Dude is dead, call the restaurant health inspector?

#monsterdon

is this the same lady from the Alien movie? #monsterdon

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

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

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

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

@ricci @Lazarou

#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

"...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
