I remember thinking the first time I saw this that by the time he wrecks the warehouse, it's already far too late and that it's an heroic but futile gesture of defiance.
well, they _tried_ to fuck off into the sea, but the pods beat them to it
love that face he pulls at the end
Curious, the aliens duplicate amalgam fillings. #Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78
Magnetic stirrers are cool
being a pod but u still have to go to work, no thanks
#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78
THE STOP STIRRING THE PEE SCENE. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978
Cutting ropes: surprisingly effective #monsterdon
Almost. Allllmost.
what is he even hoping to accomplish? they have the city and trucks and ships full of pods. this does nothing
oh ok if becoming a pod person is going to consume my body and make me collapse into a husk then maybe i would hold off on being a pod person, i changed my mind
#monsterdon
Me, from 2024, watching the movie with Shazam on hand: "NO DON'T TRUST THE BAGPIPES, THAT'S THE ROYAL SCOTS DRAGOON GUARDS!"
"She's a husk now....she's fine."
Number of movies I have now seen with Leonard Nimoy and a bagpipes rendition of Amazing Grace: 2οΈβ£
You'd think our protagonists would know by now not to hide out in the shrubs.
The banjo guy is no longer my favorite. π¬ #Monsterdon
And this is why I said the "does the dog die" needs an "it's complicated" option #monsterdon
So, does that count as a dog being killed? I hate it when movies kill dogs.
BANJO DOG??? #Monsterdon
I might buy the pod people's arguments if they could talk telepathically. Once it's clear they can't do that, they're basically just a different flavor of human like frisbee golf players or St. Louis Cardinals fans. #monsterdon
@diazona maybe it's like a low mass progressive inertia thing, where it might take you a few hundred thousand years to reach light speed but you get there #monsterdon
@Lazarou touch telepathy / telepathy through tendrils #monsterdon
@yatsu where are the nuclear wessels?
Ah fuck, I'm not even posting in hastags, I think lol. it's hard to watch the movie and do both. #monsterdon
DO NOT TAKE FIVE
HOLY SHIT
UNLESS YOU ARE DAVE BRUBECK IN WHICH CASE SURE BUT OTHERWISE DO NOT TAKE FIVE
![[empty]](/media/avatars/287224a269fbaefbc7e94920b207f9dca8b6e0415d818373c9f1528359b6a0e8.jpg){kind=small}
Either they've given up hope or it's a weird time to get a bit horny
Because this is a 70's movie, it's hard sometimes to distinguish how people thought people acted at the time from an alien who doesn't know how humans do. #monsterdon
@jonny lol, bless those sweet summer children #monsterdon
When you think you're helping the Unhoused but only making things worse....
Car tunnels are great fun to drive through for the noise though, not so good for the air....
#monsterdon people is stored in the pods
@Zerofactorial @steggy "YOU get a pod! and YOU get a pod!" - Okra Winfrey #monsterdon
Take dissociative drugs and dive into a crowd of strangers for the same effect kids!
Are these four really so critical to San Francisco's snatching that they rate a helicopter? #monsterdon
Jeff Goldblum runs into sea, roll credits.
@h3net Suddenly: Seymour
2 women in Red Dresses
2 men in trench coats
I really love the cinematography in this film. Look at them running down that covered arcade.
love that hideous shrieking of theirs
Okay, this is a very dumb question, what the heck is #Monsterdon (since everyone and their next door neighbor is posting something on whatever it is... TV show?) ****UPDATE: Apparently it's a monster movie watch party online, check out #MonsterdonAlert -- thanks for solving the mystery for me folks, I have been very confused about what the heck was happening every week, LOL.
This chase music could use some more cowbell.
this movie is rated PG but idk about that
PLEASE tell me he's gonna axe the doubles -- THANK YOU. #Monsterdon
They're all a part of it. They are all pods.
burn it all
That is one productive back garden. Wonder what fertilizer he's using?
It's got a meatball in the middle
!!!!?!???!??!?!??!?!? #monsterdon
the practical effects are good actually
@cheribaker falconing! That's his game! #monsterdon
Holy shit, I thought that was a camera angle trick, but it's just San Francisco being all tilty. π
Oh honey no. DO NOT ACCEPT SLEEPING PILLS FROM EVIL PODDED SPOCK.
Paranoia is reaching a fever pitch and we are barely half way into the movie. How much do you escalate from here?
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78
Just how many quarters is he carrying?
The bureaucratic run-around old school.
#Monsterdon Suddenly she skids into the Annunaki origin story. Wild!
We all just assume she's giving a happy ending in those mud baths, yeah?
Spock Betrayal!
In 2020, you would have been able to prove what you saw, thanks to your cell phone camera
In 2024, you could not. Thanks, AI
To be fair, from Leonard's point of view he's basically dealing with a communicable psychological disorder, like transmissible Morgellon's #Monsterdon
Doppelganger reveal after half the film has passed
70's fashion is weird. What the hell is that on Spock's hand?
Don't say "her other body" say "the unidentified body"
Sci Fi protagonists are always so dumb about that. #monsterdon
@amyfou more linty garbage compaction
Luckily the aliens have already commandeered the waste pickup system. All that hair would otherwise be troublesome.
Jeffrey Pod has a nice Porsche...but she still loves Donald in his cardigan and apron. There's a lesson in that for you, men.
"Nude Conspiracies!"
#monsterdon
ok since apparently the tubi version is also got really bad encoding (?), and the archive.org ones both do too, here's a yify rip since there are still 400 hours left in the movie and it might be worth it to swap over
https://archive.org/details/invasion-of-the-body-snatchers-1978-720p
still going through transcoding so streaming probably wont work but should be downloadable.
lol, just watching movies of clocks, for 8 hours straight
Don better watch it, he's gonna get Dutch Angled to death. #Monsterdon
Okay but I love Geoff's headphones.
@jwisser You know what they say. Life, uh... Finds a way. :D #Monsterdon
ZING
@jonny this is more thinking about the details than we have seen evidence for, so far
Oh man, did they take out Elizabeth already?
#Monsterdon
#InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
(people find a body enveloped in webbing and hair)
people: "Let's poke it."
having missed the first 20 minutes or so, was that a normal pod person conversion web or was that a special mudhouse pod person conversion web #monsterdon
@paco happens every time....#Monsterdon
Turns out the real monster is traditional concepts of infidelity.
"Mother Earth's Plantasia" by Mort Garson, synthesizer music to play for your plants, came out two years before this #Monsterdon
Starmaker is good because it admits to being sci-fi. Worlds in Collision... not so much.
Lies! You can never have too much mud!
OMG, this explains the Starmaker pdf in the Internet Archive copy of this movie!
The ratio of creepy old men to normies in this mud bath does not encourage me
I am deeply intellectual. #monsterdon
Hallucinatory flu. Was it spread by flowers?
I'm Not OK,
You're Not OK
"talk some sense into this woman Mr Spock, before I bang her"
Just like his days on the Enterprise
Oh lord, I just realized that was probably Chekov's Eye Trick we saw earlier. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978
@Victorsigmoid checking for evil beard..... #monsterdon
A Human Fly, a Vulcan, and a Health Inspector walk into a barβ¦
Mirror Nimoy!
Horn dog Nimoy is not a good look
Surprise! Baby Jeff Goldblum is playing Jeff Goldblum.
Young Jeff Goldblum is just the same as Old Young Goldblum but smoother and darker
