Elizabeth, I love you, but you're a liability, I have to abandon you or kill you. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

"What are we going to DO?"

If I had to guess based on the rest, you'll spend most of the next 15 min pissing about until you find an answer to that question in the last 3 minutes.

#Monsterdon

the dogman was preetty scary, even with bad fx
#monsterdon

once again heels are the downfall of humanity. #monsterdon

Admit it. They're organized.
#Monsterdon

@Taweret This is why you don't kick a pregnant pod. #Monsterdon

I'm not sure why the pod people would know anything about where they come from or how they travel.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon The yellow zone is for loading and unloading future memes only

„You’re the man now, dog“ #monsterdon

ok so DNA sucking tendrils confirmed, they probably cloned that guy when his dog was sleeping on him #monsterdon

okay, look, sometimes the pods glitch and make a dog with a human face

let's all try to be normal about it

we don't want to embarrass our new pod overlords

#monsterdon

This is how podcasting began #monsterdon

DOG NO! #Monsterdon

dog thing both horrifying and had me feeling like this movie was suddenly trying to troll me #monsterdon

i forgot about that dog part #monsterdon

Ahahahaha what the fuuuuuuck??? #monsterdon

*raises a glass to Donald Sutherland*

#Monsterdon

@lytta @Lazarou tendrilepathy?

#Monsterdon

That dog thing was not okay D:

#Monsterdon

ewwwwww, mandog Henry is just as horrid as I remembered!

I would freak, who is playing the Banjo for a start?

#monsterdon

DEAR FUCKING GOD!

#monsterdon

I did NOT remember the dog. That's Not Right. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

okay, fair cop there, that dog thing is horrifiying. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh no! Apparently they let this guy be the animal wrangler:

Oh so the cold freezer does kill pod people.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

holy CRAP that dog

#monsterdon

If you need to load, or if you need to unload, go to the yellow zone

#monsterdon

no, the white zone is for loading and unloading only.

#monsterdon

I’ll say this about the body snatchers, they understand collective action #Monsterdon

Starmaker by Olaf Stapleton probably also significant. #monsterdon

wao wao wao wao wao wao wao wao wao wao wao wao awoo awoo awoo awoo awoo awoo awoo awoo

- these aliens meeting furries, presumably

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Put em in the freezer with the other rat turds. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Haha a dart to the neck

#monsterdon

seriously just let me stick around and watch i don't have any beef with my pod #monsterdon

It would be funny if he stuck the syringe into Donald Sutherland's shoes because he thinks those are his roots. #monsterdon

This is where he turns into Spock

#Monsterdon

North Beach isn't like this any more, not really, though the Condor Club is still there #monsterdon

Where's your glove now, Nemoy? Fairweather accessorizer #Monsterdon

"...just a mild sedative"
"Oh good, 'cause we just ate five speeds!"

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@Bluedepth either way, it's vegetable abuse. #Monsterdon

"YOU ARE NOT OF THE BODY!" —Star Trek a good decade before this movie. #Landrew
#Monsterdon

How is there another half hour to this? #monsterdon

Oh no, I just checked IMDB and it is even worse than Jeffrey. He's credited as Geoffrey. That at least doubles the pretentious prick factor.

#monsterdon

Cook up some meth in the lab, stay awake for days, no down sides.....

#monsterdon

Mustache rides are free when you are on the run for your life.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Socialized Podcare!? In these The United States!?

#monsterdon

@Lazarou That part of the Embarcadero is just really romantic #monsterdon

#Monsterdon As a science teacher, I object to them showing a lab in this state. It's very irresponsible. No one is monitoring the chemicals. #LabSafety

@RodneyPetersonTalent @ai6yr lol but nah, we would never sully the good name of #Monsterdon with that association

pod adoption drive! open 24hrs! get urs now!
#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

That is an amazing turnaround. Couple of days from infiltration to active invasion

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

OH MY GOD STRAIGHT PEOPLE THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO MAKE OUT

#Monsterdon

The cinematography in this is outstanding. Dark scenes you can actually tell what people are doing. Creepy AF.
#monsterdon

"...here, poddy poddy poddy. Who's the good pod? You are!"

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@Lazarou I've been assuming they're a hive mind because everyone knew Matt's name on the phone, but I dunno

#Monsterdon

@ricci

That's crossing the streams.

It's how you get Plants vs Zombies.

#Monsterdon

lol he grabbed a dart.
listen, waste not want not, i guess.

#monsterdon

Owning a pair of nice titanium darts myself... I agree. fantastic improvised weapon. Those things can be scary!!

#monsterdon

One thing that is not clear to me about how the pods work: is there a particular reason that a person and their pod cannot exist at the same time?

#monsterdon

sneaking through the bushes seems unwise at this stage. #monsterdon

Do the Pod People have a group mind, kind of like a social network or just....'know' what to do?

#monsterdon

Has anyone ever attempted to plot their route? I get the sense they just moved MILES away by running on foot...

#monsterdon

Another profession lost to the internet, the porn show barker
#monsterdon

"type H" real subtle there pal
#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

No pod people in the red light district. No one there has slept in weeks. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

#monsterdon Love tthe musical stuff going on in the disembodied legs scene. Sounds like the early days of people slapping PVC pipe with spatulas before Blue Man Group got ahold of it

@catzilla

This movie predicted the events that San Francisco would see in later decades

#Monsterdon

walk like an alien and they will not notice.
#monsterdon

Banjo fans get ready....

#monsterdon

@Zerofactorial they look a lot like okra

#Monsterdon

These alien-possessed folk aren't very good at counting their prey.

#Monsterdon

You're telling me a potted plant is flying that helicopter?

#Monsterdon

so did the Nimoy character get confirmed as a pod person and I missed it? #monsterdon

Must go faster, Jeff Goldblum. #Monsterdon

There's part of this sequence which is reminding me of Capricorn One of all things...

#monsterdon

"i'll come back with help"
i don't think you will, sir.
#monsterdon

Ah, the miracle of . . . birth?

#Monsterdon

"Hey, wait a minute. We're decades away from caller ID!"
#monsterdon

Good thing these folks are all in such good shape.
#Monsterdon

Would you bash your own clone's brains in in a horror movie?
It might save your life.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

@wohali I think at this point in the original the two main characters are running through tunnels freaking out about falling asleep, but they've got uppers #monsterdon

♫ what if pod was one of us?
just a slob like one of us? ♫

#monsterdon

Somebody just called this a "solid Bechdel pass" and the only way I can make it make sense is if you don't count the pod people as actual people #monsterdon #invasionofthebodysnatchers1978

They're shrieking! Just like a pod would! #monsterdon

podpeople has a alarm system.
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 3d printer, human edition

@Infoseepage Schroedinger's biography

#Monsterdon

This is about where a 50s B movie would have a sped-up ending. But we still have another 35 mins!!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🎵 pod through the arm
and you're to blame
baby you give pods
a bad name
(bad name) 🎵

@ottaross Probably whatever was in the bottom of the mudbaths? #MonsterDon

"...they're coming for you, Barbara!"
"No, that's the other one."

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@ottaross
Rat turds?

#monsterdon

@ottaross Soylent Green

#Monsterdon

The zucchini is crowning.
I am not screen shotting that gross goopey fetus plant thing.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Doppelpodders

#monsterdon

ah, and some *immediate* footage re-use. I guess production really felt like they needed to justify the VFX budget or something

#Monsterdon

HOW DID YOU NOT SEE THE GIANT YARD ZUCCHINIS!?
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

is it a hate crime to kick those things to death? #monsterdon

Cool effects on the unraveling pod. A year before ALIEN, too!

#Monsterdon

oh oh ugh ugh ugh
#monsterdon
