"I'll go downstairs."

Don't worry, I won't turn into a hideous perversion of humankind while I'm down there. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon A restaurant! There's hope yet!

there's our man! what a trench coat! #monsterdon

ok i'm caught up? (in the kitchen with the late, great Donald Sutherland

#monsterdon

Did they fully just make up this "gres" term for this movie? O.o #Monsterdon

A perfectly functional couple. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

Nuhhh, what happens if I drink the plant water

#monsterdon

the director saw Rosemary's Baby and tried it

it didn't work here

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Is that Buena Vista park?
#monsterdon

Oh no did they inflate a bunch of condoms and film them falling in reverse? 😳

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Dude went from tongue to sports at light speed. #Monsterdon

🦖 #MONSTERDON 🎞️

🚨 LOOKOUT 🚨

👀 Look for early development of Jeff Goldblum acting. We can see here the awkward talking, and your word of the night is FUMFER.

But we do not see *all* the weird behavior we have come to love.

#Monsterdon Doores Park is frightening in the dark...

Gex is in this film?!?! #monsterdon

100 grex? #monsterdon

Eww... It's an invasion of KY lube.

#monsterdon

Is this going to be on the test?

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

If you see a priest on the swing set..... RUN

#monsterdon

Anyone else hear the Full House theme playing distantly?

#monsterdon

San Francisco Dutch angle #monsterdon

stare long enough into the flower and the flower will stare back into you

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

I thought Tiberium was named after the river Tiber, so why are we in San Francisco?
#monsterdon

Im just going to assume Ridley Scott ripped off this entire movie for Prometheus #Monsterdon

Oh no don't *smell* the evil alien flowers

and tell the kids to pick them

(TBH very effective way to set the tone)

#Monsterdon

Sure hope San Francisco doesn't get overrun with megalomaniacal invaders that suck the joy out of human existence. In this fictional movie. #monsterdon

That's it kids! Pick the pretty space flowers! Give them to your mums! #Monsterdon

I have been chasing a rogue cricket in the house all day and this swing noise is really mocking me. #monsterdon

Priest on a swing. No reason. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@_L1vY_ Oh, I'm aware, I've sometimes skipped the first couple of minutes though, so I'm inordinately proud of myself for starting on time tonight!

#Monsterdon

@Taweret I was feeling very uncomfortable about that
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Wow, San Francisco without all those garbage skyscrapers.

Microplastic wildflowers!

#monsterdon

someone oil that swing please #monsterdon

I thought the soundtrack was doing some, uh, creative things, but no, that's just the swing.

#Monsterdon

@Taweret Already calling god's HR! #MonsterDon

Creepy priest on a swing set ... that's awkward.

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

ah, yes, nothing suspicious about a fully-robed priest playing on a swingset. lord, this was the 70s, huh. #monsterdon

Is that Fr. Duvall? #Monsterdon

Great ominous plant effects #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon alien pods! in my arboretum? it's more likely than you'd think

Priest on a swing RUN RUN RUN

#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Swinging Priest is my favorite character so far

#monsterdon

So we're being invaded by plastic bags?

#monsterdon

Those are truly great fx, they hold up even now #monsterdon

There's nothing scarier than a priest in a playground!

#Monsterdon

So far this movie has been a *lot* like The Decemberists concert film for "The Hazards of Love." #monsterdon

Priest watching kinds in a playground sure hits differently these days but I'm pretty sure this was always creepy.

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

#Monsterdon #CoffeeWatch is on duty. So far, there is a disturbing lack of caffiene.

FLOWERING PICKLES FROM BEYOND THE OORT!

#monsterdon

get that priest away from the kids, please

#monsterdon

Apropos of nothing i just thought of this picture i took yesterday #monsterdon

All the little Audrey II’s. #Monsterdon

Man, documentaries are a lot more menacing without David Attenborough. :/ #Monsterdon

Don't eat the pod berries!

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

#Monsterdon a lot of sf looks very similar today to how it looked in the 70s :D

some areas there's been *tons* of new construction though, all those new towers in soma

What could be so frightening about something that sprouts flowers?

#Monsterdon

Is this a kissing movie? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon get your goddamn cosmic sperm slime mold outta here

The skyline looks...different #monsterdon #sanfrancisco

I don't really enjoy the fluid drippy contagion vibes... but then again that was my least favorite horror genre even before covid #monsterdon

Same screenwriter as Buckaroo Bonzai? When do we see the watermelon in the hydraulic press, then? #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

Digging the opening creepy shots of the leaves, not gonna lie!

#Monsterdon

eeeew, okay, props for the creepy tendrils. ew. #monsterdon

Well so far half of this movie has been filmed in reverse.
Why is there an evil priest on the swings? Is this a religious horror movie too?
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Working on my #FallFinishAlong crochet project while watching tonight’s #Monsterdon movie “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”

And I have arrived in time for some delightful tree goop!

#Monsterdon

Oh good effect with the tendrils stretching out of the goo :D #Monsterdon

@SRLevine It's a very inexact process anyway 😂

#Monsterdon

San Francisco...tech boom...tech billionaires...pod people...?
#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Meatball Earth Hypothesis is the name of my new band. #Monsterdon

I'll take "Intros which seem insignificant to any midwesterner" for 100, Alex.

#monsterdon

So, panspermia?
#monsterdon

Someone get the wd40. PLEASE!

#monsterdon

Same screenwriter as Buckaroo Banzai iirc?

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Actually kind of a cool intro here for ‘78 #Monsterdon

All the rain and plants and drips actually pays off. Nice. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon the floating snot spore stuff as well as the later goop in the introduction was some kind of goop from an art store in SF. All of it from one 5$ bottle.

That Pyramid shaped bldg is the TransAmerica tower which backed UA on this pic.

Couldn't someone edit out the horrible squeak from that swing set!? #monsterdon

@flowerpot The largely unknown spinoff from the Pigs In Space universe

#Monsterdon

Is this the only Sci fi movie with Jeff goldblum where he isn't the sexiest cast member? #monsterdon

Mislabeled truck. Clearly it is whIte and Red. #monsterdon

@RufusJCooter It was the '70s #monsterdon

ah yes, PLANTS, the real enemy. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon hey i know that planet

that's earth! ohno

hey sutro tower, transamerica building, golden gate bridge -- we're definitely setting the location

Star jelly #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

In this one we see where they came from. I'm not sure if that's better or not. The growing on plants is cool though. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@diazona yes
#Monsterdon

You can tell they're aliens because the shots are angled.

This technique was later perfected in Battlefield Earth

#monsterdon

@Zerofactorial Dave's not here, Man!
#Monsterdon

Trying to start up #monsterdon and I should have maybe done the troubleshooting in advance tonight. 😬

Time to clean out the back of the fridge #monsterdon

Goldblum and Nimoy in the same film. Holy shit.

#monsterdon

k, didn't know goop made animal sounds

#monsterdon

Spock is in this! #monsterdon

I forgot this trippy opening credit sequence.

#Monsterdon

postcards, apparently, are also GO

#BodySnatchers78 #monsterdon

I'm not sure if I'm looking at a bunch of translucent genitals or literally anything else

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
Bubbles in space 🤩

AND LEONARD NIMOY

congrats man they finally spelled your name right :P #Monsterdon

#monsterdon what a STACKED cast omg I had no idea
