@LK_877 it really is, totally freaked me when I first saw it! #monsterdon

well, they _tried_ to fuck off into the sea, but the pods beat them to it

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

love that face he pulls at the end

#monsterdon

Curious, the aliens duplicate amalgam fillings. #Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Magnetic stirrers are cool

#monsterdon #invasionofthebodysnatchers

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.

#monsterdon #mawg

what is he even hoping to accomplish? they have the city and trucks and ships full of pods. this does nothing

#monsterdon

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!"

#Monsterdon

"She's a husk now....she's fine."

#monsterdon

Number of movies I have now seen with Leonard Nimoy and a bagpipes rendition of Amazing Grace: 2️⃣

#Monsterdon

You'd think our protagonists would know by now not to hide out in the shrubs.

#Monsterdon

"Banjo Dogman Nightmares"

Welcome to the club folks

#monsterdon

The banjo guy is no longer my favorite. 😬 #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.

#monsterdon

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?

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Finally a kiss

(sort of)

#monsterdon

Either they've given up hope or it's a weird time to get a bit horny

#monsterdon

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....

#monsterdon

Car tunnels are great fun to drive through for the noise though, not so good for the air....

#monsterdon

#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!

#monsterdon

Are these four really so critical to San Francisco's snatching that they rate a helicopter? #monsterdon

Jeff Goldblum runs into sea, roll credits.

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@h3net Suddenly: Seymour

#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

2 women in Red Dresses
2 men in trench coats

#monsterdon

I really love the cinematography in this film. Look at them running down that covered arcade.

#monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

"Do you have a gun?"

Of course he doesn't he's Canadian dammit!

#Monsterdon

this movie is rated PG but idk about that

#monsterdon

PLEASE tell me he's gonna axe the doubles -- THANK YOU. #Monsterdon

They're all a part of it. They are all pods.

#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

"I'll get the Police"

such a White guy

#monsterdon

burn it all

#monsterdon

That is one productive back garden. Wonder what fertilizer he's using?

#Monsterdon

It's got a meatball in the middle

#monsterdon

!!!!?!???!??!?!??!?!? #monsterdon

the practical effects are good actually

#monsterdon

@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. 😂

#Monsterdon

Oh honey no. DO NOT ACCEPT SLEEPING PILLS FROM EVIL PODDED SPOCK.

#Monsterdon

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?

#monsterdon

The bureaucratic run-around old school.

#Monsterdon

#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?

#monsterdon

Spock Betrayal!

#monsterdon

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

#monsterdon

To be fair, from Leonard's point of view he's basically dealing with a communicable psychological disorder, like transmissible Morgellon's #Monsterdon

@benlockwood 2.9

#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

70's fashion is weird. What the hell is that on Spock's hand?

#monsterdon

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

#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Luckily the aliens have already commandeered the waste pickup system. All that hair would otherwise be troublesome.

#Monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

"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.

#monsterdon

lol, just watching movies of clocks, for 8 hours straight

#monsterdon

Don better watch it, he's gonna get Dutch Angled to death. #Monsterdon

Okay but I love Geoff's headphones.

#Monsterdon

@jwisser You know what they say. Life, uh... Finds a way. :D #Monsterdon

ZING

#monsterdon

@jonny this is more thinking about the details than we have seen evidence for, so far

#monsterdon

Oh man, did they take out Elizabeth already?

#Monsterdon

#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.

#monsterdon

"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.

#monsterdon #invasionofthebodysnatchers

Lies! You can never have too much mud!

#monsterdon

OMG, this explains the Starmaker pdf in the Internet Archive copy of this movie!

#monsterdon

The ratio of creepy old men to normies in this mud bath does not encourage me

#monsterdon

I am deeply intellectual. #monsterdon

Hallucinatory flu. Was it spread by flowers?

#monsterdon #invasionofthebodysnatchers

I'm Not OK,
You're Not OK

#monsterdon

"talk some sense into this woman Mr Spock, before I bang her"

Just like his days on the Enterprise

#monsterdon

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 bar…

#Monsterdon

Mirror Nimoy!

#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Horn dog Nimoy is not a good look

#monsterdon

Surprise! Baby Jeff Goldblum is playing Jeff Goldblum.

#Monsterdon

Young Jeff Goldblum is just the same as Old Young Goldblum but smoother and darker

#monsterdon

OMG I forgot HE had a cameo! #Monsterdon

The hysterical guy who attacks their car is played by the director of the original movie, if Alex Cox is not a dirty liar

#monsterdon
