Yeah, this was the scene that creeeped me the f out as a kid.

#monsterdon

ewww
#monsterdon

@LK_877 If it were New York that would just be business as usual

#Monsterdon

oh great now I'm going to be too creeped out to touch grass #monsterdon

dont fall asleep guys, lol!

#monsterdon

The pod is fully dilated and crowning!!

#Monsterdon

Spacemen mating with monkeys and apes to create the human race. Oh wow I forgot what the 1970s were like.

#Monsterdon

We must be getting close to the meme moment - with Sutherland doing the gaping mouth and pointing?

#Monsterdon

Nimoy is good at being creepy, dang #monsterdon

"I'll see you soon, I hope."

That's not foreshadowing at all.
#Monsterdon

@lytta i am thinking lifecycle phases, they have to molt their way through a species to start reproducing person-to-person, so these are the initial colonial spores that are molting into transmissible pod people
#monsterdon

My question here is, why the fuck do these characters care what a psychiatrist thinks?

#Monsterdon

later the guy in the lab is gonna be like 'well i tested the flower for absestos and autism and it doesn't seem to have either of those so'

#monsterdon

I used to eat the lemon off my plate in restaurants when I was a kid. These days I don't go to restaurants much so I don't get the chance to. #monsterdon

Invasion of the gaslighting.

#monsterdon

The moral of this movie is "Don't trust condescending men who tell you everything is going to be okay". #Monsterdon

Oh right. Once you buy into one crazy conspiracy theory, buying into the second crazy one is easier. And the third and forth and...
But sometimes that crazy idea is right... in movies anyway.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Oh man that camera pass past Alan while Elizabeth talks to him TOTALLY made me want to see something sticking out of the back of his neck.

Especially given that he totally sounded like he'd been podded.

#Monsterdon

Yep. Spock's been podded.

#monsterdon

I like that all these theories are made to sound insane but we know they are basically right

#monsterdon

"I'm going to ask you to stay by your phone" Also, are there any flowers nearby. You should find a flower to inhale. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@fabio To be fair she's not so far off in the film's universe

#Monsterdon

"I'm gonna ask you to stay by your phone for a while."

It'll help the sniper to target you, y'see. #Monsterdon

Hold the fucking phone! Aliens mated with monkeys and apes and what? #Monsterdon

i'm sorry, aliens mated with monkeys to make humans? i'm not up on my 1970s conspiracy theories, is that was was in those books she was talking to Rasputin about? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Who knew Nancy would be the not-that-crazy one, huh?

Wait, are you saying we are the pod people?
#monsterdon

The women are WAY ahead of everyone else. Typical that no one is listening to them. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

This is a solid Bechdel pass. Yay. #monsterdon

were these the first podcasters #monsterdon

"how did you know that?"
i have a trench coat, i'm in a 1970s movie, i Know Things. #monsterdon

"you think we've all gone crazy?"
well, you did call This Asshole like he was gonna actually help you, so you've definitely not been making Good Choices, but... #monsterdon

You can't out-logic a character played by Ninoy.

#monsterdon

In Russia, psychologist lays on the couch and YOU treat him! #monsterdon

Damnit Spock, I'm a health inspector, not a doctor

#monsterdon

(I'm like 45 minutes late with that joke)

Again, exquisite sound design & soundtrack work

#Monsterdon

Oh we're in the era of front bench car seating #Monsterdon

All Cops Are Pod People

#monsterdon

Jeff again: Who is it?!

IT'S THE PLUMBERS WE'VE COME TO FIX THE SINK

YOU SHOULD TAKE A NICE NAP WHILE WE'RE WORKING IT WILL BE GOOD FOR YOU

#Monsterdon

FINALLY the police! Not that it'll help. #Monsterdon

@tuckerm Baby Jeff Goldblum for real

#monsterdon

He's gonna reach into the mud and pull out an old paperback.

#Monsterdon

No body, no crime

#Monsterdon

Just wait 'til his blockbuster books, "I am not Pod" and "I, Pod."

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Not the first time he hides from a girls boyfriend/husband I guess.
#monsterdon

ok wait so... maybe it starts with them turning into the jelly reproduction body covered in dryer lint, and they simultaneously produce a body double? Is this elizabeth the pod person? #monsterdon

I've always found not quite finished clones in shows and movies, 'icky'

It's that foetal thing

#monsterdon

Doesn't this technically make him the body snatcher?

#Monsterdon

Destroy the double, don! Destroy the double! #Monsterdon

Donald Sutherland showing lack of skill and survival instincts again, don't reach in past shattered glass you dolt!

#monsterdon

It's a 70s movie, so it's Titties Time!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon your pod person is installing software updates and will be ready in a few moments

That peaking door angle was phenomenal #monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Oh, the old trick of leaving the phone off the hook to avoid receiving calls!

#Monsterdon

I had a friend once whose apartment entrance was at the end of a basement corridor like this. The actual apartment was fine, but going to it made you feel like you were in a noir detective film #monsterdon

#Monsterdon ah, before cell phones. he has to have someone call a guy for him while he runs off to do stuff

I too like to watch video of clocks

#monsterdon

"SCREAM"
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

"Good thing I've broken into this place so many times before"

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

The ad tubi is showing me for skin cream seems a little too on point

#monsterdon

spockscare #monsterdon

San Francisco: Become Goldblum
#monsterdon

DAMN, leonard nimoy jumpscare right there. #monsterdon

whup evil spock's mad

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

curiosity killed the jeff goldblum. #monsterdon

would not catch me laying down right by the moist fetus man no thank u
#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

why are you even touching it??

#monsterdon

yeah, im not gonna have a nap four feet away from the weird corpse

#monsterdon

Okay, there's pod people, they're jelly-ish, we have Donald Sutherland, Leonard Nemoy, and Jeff Goldblum. I'm caught up enough to rock. #Monsterdon let's goooo

#monsterdon we're really not gonna call the cops about the weird corpse we found, huh

@ottaross 🤦 #MonsterDon

#monsterdon Veronica Cartwright as mom: "Don't touch it, you don't know where it's been" about the snot covered pod-blank corpse

I'm so proud of my Large Adult Fetus #monsterdon

Waitaminute, the mud bath shop lady, is...is that Lambert?

#monsterdon

@brooke Is The Thing (1982) available on tubi or the like? It might be good to do.

#monsterdon

Walter, something oddly unsanitary for the 70s has just appeared

#monsterdon

i GoT yOu ThIs LoVeLy FlOwEr :D #Monsterdon

I went to a communal bath in San Francisco, it wasn't this bubbly though. #monsterdon

That's gonna be one big ass butterfly when it's done.

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Spock, you bastard. That''s why Goldblum became a lawyer. So he could sue you!

#monsterdon

Jeffrey's about to go American Psycho :x #Monsterdon

Oh no! He was reading Kafka! #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe One of the deeply troubling questions raised by this film. #Monsterdon

...Do they re-use the mud? #Monsterdon

Slap him in the yam bag, Nancy. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

@Lazarou Well in LA they are tar pits

#monsterdon

@Lazarou I have never heard of such a thing, but cities are bizarre and unpredictable places

#Monsterdon

man saddam hussain found the perfect hiding place

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Do they clean the mud between users?

#monsterdon

@Lazarou @Victorsigmoid Maybe in this case the evil beard is made of evil leaves

#Monsterdon

I'm with Jack. Nimoy's character is a quack. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

I'd like an Aqua-Surge whirlpool dip!

#monsterdon

lol, Spock casually leans against the husks, clueless.

#monsterdon

Lots of piles of fun-fur in all the dumpsters.

#Monsterdon

*throws Jeff Goldblum into a wall* thanks for coming to my TED Talk #monsterdon

Occam's Spockem

#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

I am really not used to Nimoy playing an asshole. (Or not having pointy ears.) #Monsterdon

70s bullshit psychology. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon She's interested in your work. I think she works for InGen....?
