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

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

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)
#monsterdon

I used to live in San Francisco, and it's fun when I recognize places in a movie.
#monsterdon

it's definitely men #monsterdon

@RufusJCooter What it needs is an enormous novelty hat to make things pop #monsterdon

I love the quality of light in this movie. No harsh LEDs or fake looking sets. And I like the quirky camera angles. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon So the banjo playing? The Woman doing the sound knew Jerry Garcia and got him to lay in the sound for that...

"all dentists are crazy" - steve martin

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Chekov's Banjo

#Monsterdon

"Just takin' my ol' husk out to the trash...."

#monsterdon

I'd forgotten that Sutherland is a hard-ass restaurant health inspector in this movie

(In my defense, I read the MAD Magazine parody @ 7YO, before actually watching the movie @ 13)

#Monsterdon

Jeffry is perfectly fine. Please try one of his delicious zucchinis.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

She knows something's wrong because Jeffery is actually cleaning up something.

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@bunnyhero I do get them confused #Monsterdon

This is also one of the rare horror movies where all the human characters are interesting, if not downright likable #monsterdon

Spider colonies fall from the sky, is this a sequel to one of our previous movies?

#monsterdon #invasionofthebodysnatchers

right, this is Brooke Adams, not Karen Allen #monsterdon

Cutting articles out of newspapers is a lost art.

#Monsterdon

Les rattatus c'est bon!

#monsterdon

@wohali honest answer: he's looking for urine

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

eat the caper #monsterdon

prion stew _la a rat turd_

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

i think they might have a few secrets from the dept of health over the course of this movie. #monsterdon

"you don't have any secrets from the Department of Health"

This is why Americans fear regulation

#monsterdon

Imagine DOH actually doing such thorough work. #Monsterdon

Oh wait. Is this THAT film? With the meme of that guy? #monsterdon

mmmm prion stew

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Like the #Monsterdon space flower I too thrive on devastated ground

@Newpa_Hasai Catholic Church, QED

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon is it still Dutch angles if your camera is level but you're filming in SF?

Just when I thought priests couldn't get any creepier... #Monsterdon

I'm here for a good parasite-plant-from-space story. Next up: Little Shop of Horrors. #Monsterdon

You worry when it rains.
You worry when it doesn't rain.
When will it end?
#Monsterdon

@Taweret To be fair we probably sent them microplastics first

#Monsterdon

the root spreading of the evil dandilions is a really good effect

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Nothing like a little slime mold to ratchet up the tension.

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

wait the screenplay was by the director of buckaroo banzai? i didn't know that #monsterdon

Going to try the monsterdon thing tonight I guess.

Hello all! I'm in the credits still, hopefully with the rest of you (I only started a few seconds late I think).

#Monsterdon

Very much looking forward to Leonard Nimoy and Young Jeff Goldblum. #Monsterdon

I don't see what was wrong with the bath bubble planet

#Monsterdon

the pod aliens seem to resemble cnidarians, which has me tentatively liking them #Monsterdon

Spores! it's The Gloom! #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978 #Helldivers2

Alien vaping #monsterdon

This intro is reminding me of the end of 2001.

#monsterdon #invasionofthebodysnatchers

RIP donald sutherland 😢 #monsterdon

@Taweret Exactly what a pod person would say/ #monsterdon

Teehee! It’s #Monsterdon O’clock. Get ready for “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”

A Robert Han Solo production? #Monsterdon

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Pod. Focused. Flourishing.

#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

It's the planet of balloon animals! I see a snoopy!

#Monsterdon

Pods in space! #Monsterdon
