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

A mud coating and slap massage doesn't sound bad

#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....?

WEBS SHROUD THE BAY AREA - Spider Colonies Fall From Sky #monsterdon

I love how sleazy all American sidewalks looked in the 70s

#monsterdon

@h3net prepare yourself for when you next hear banjos....
#Monsterdon

This is actually very eerie
#Monsterdon

People forget - Nimoy is a really good actor. You just don't get to see him stretch his ability that often.

#monsterdon

Leonard Nemoy breaking type by being a different kind of weirdo, I see

#monsterdon

Love the shot with the badly distorted reflections, very cool

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Spock has certainly changed.

This is such a neat shot with the funhouse mirror. #monsterdon

Goldblum is of course fabulous already #Monsterdon

Harry is going to save the day with the banjo, right?

#monsterdon

Aaaaaaaand there's Leonard!

Wow, it's weird seeing him exude some _schmooze_.

#Monsterdon

Now they're talking over each other like The Thing. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

i loooooove the use of the mirror in this scene
#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

The smashed windshield is a nice filmmaking device. #monsterdon

Jeff Goldblum is always great playing Jeff Goldblum #monsterdon

@Taweret he's been banging on car windshields for twenty years.

#Monsterdon

Goldblum is on the scene and he's in fine form.

#Monsterdon

Oh hey! It's that guy from the original movie! That's a great cameo.... Oh shit he dead.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

"The policeman will help."

lol

#Monsterdon

Just another day in the city
#monsterdon

I'm a bit distracted because I'm having a bit of a body snatcher situation myself, except instead of body snatchers it's this cricket making smoke alarm noises that has now *followed me upstairs* #monsterdon

Or maybe it was the lead actor of the original....oh well, his character is dead now

#monsterdon

Huh. This movie is managing to get across that old indescribably cosmic horror feeling from Lovecraft stories. That barely describable feeling of something being wrong with the world. Granted half of it is actually said outloud.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

@lytta do we know how body snatching is transmitted yet, do you have to get bitten or is it fungal and it's a proximity thing or what #monsterdon

the soundtrack is good but I sure do hope some more things happen in this movie

#Monsterdon

Oh, the 1970s and the public suspicions of conspiracies! They were huge.

#Monsterdon

It's the 1970's version of cryptocurrency. #Monsterdon

Oh, it's "Geoffrey" spelled like *that*. No wonder he's a douchebag and owns a house like that. #Monsterdon

Pod people board meetings look just as good as I was expecting

#monsterdon

"followed him all day from one end of town to the other" but the boyfriend is the one being creepy..

(i mean he IS, but i mean...)

#monsterdon

@foolishowl I want to make a "gay awakening" joke here, but I feel like it maybe steps on too many people's toes this close to the olympics where there was a lot of Discourse™️ about that.

(I'm queer and never had one thing I could point at so...)

#Monsterdon

*Become* gay? Like it just happens suddenly?
#monsterdon

@Lazarou yeah i find it upsetting! and i'm not even married #monsterdon

so cruel to be crushing all those dust bunnies in the truck ​:BlobCat_Pensive:​
#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

I love all the things happening in plain sight. Like that stuff going into the garbage. We'll be seeing that stuff later. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Donald Sutherland was a REALLY good actor. #Monsterdon

Tired: Chekhov gun
Wired: Elizabeth eyes
#monsterdon

Her uterus must be shooting around her body at the speed of sound, she's so hysterical #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

Don't do the thing with your eyes again please, we believe you #monsterdon

#Monsterdon it's stir-friday!

EEEEEY, shoutout to this movie for putting VD and Republicanism in the same category :D #Monsterdon

whether he became a republican! lady, run, you're in danger. #monsterdon

whether he'd become Republican

#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Gay, affair, Social Disease, Republican.

Check, check, check, check.

#monsterdon

whether he'd _become_ gay

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Jeffery goes into a panic when I try to fry fish

#monsterdon

please finish chewing before you tell your story

#monsterdon

It's the 70s. Woks are all the rage. Nothing says cool dude, like whipping up a little wok action.

#Monsterdon

@WhiskeySailor I can get with that, but the lack of emotion ie 'Culture and Art' sucks #monsterdon

Now I'm wondering what the pod people org chart looks like

#monsterdon

"is it true that if you think you're losing your mind, you're not?"
ask me again in two hours lady, we're still early in this movie. #monsterdon

"Jeffrey is not Jeffrey, which means I'm free to get together with you now"

#monsterdon

So pod people don't like sports...
(looking nervously around me)
