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...

Potato autopsy!

Chekov's Banjo

#Monsterdon

Jeffery is just a slave to the invasive species now

#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

@Lazarou i had to look it up to be sure! #monsterdon

LET US NEVER SPEAK OF 1970s ALARMS AGAIN

#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

@Newpa_Hasai There was the one where spider colonies climbed up out of the ground...

#Monsterdon

@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

"We don't have any secrets from the Department of Health. 😐"

#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

If you go.... to San Francisco... Be sure to wear some flowers in your invading life form.

#monsterdon

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

@Newpa_Hasai Catholic Church, QED

#Monsterdon

I thought Tiberium was named after the river Tiber, so why are we in San Francisco?
#monsterdon

That's it kids! Pick the pretty space flowers! Give them to your mums! #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

All the little Audrey II’s. #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

Interstellar panspermia fascinates me, the possibility of Tardigrades on Alpha Centauri and all that...

I forgot Jeff Goldblum was in this!

#monsterdon

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

I have Donald Sutherland in my head as "old" these days, in no small part because the last thing I remember him in was the Hunger Games movies, where he was President Snow.

Definitely gonna be weird seeing him _young_.

Likewise Jeff Goldblum, since last I had him in my head was his appearances in the MCU!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

It's Sunday Night. Do you know where your bodies are?

Follow the #Monsterdon tag and find out!

Or filter it if you require plausible deniability or something I dunno

WE GOT MOVIE SIGN

#monsterdon #invasionofthebodysnatchers1978

WE GOT GIANT KITTY SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGN

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers1978

#monsterdon Also I choose to believe Nimoy's character really was a jerk who doesn't really listen to people in the first scene in the bookstore and was only podified after.

Backlit running through a huge tunnel! #monsterdon

The use of shadows in this movie is excellent #monsterdon

#monsterdon we started late and so I didn't toot real time but there was so much amazing and disorienting camera angles and scene composition. Unsettling stuff in nearly every scene even before the main characters are realizing what's going on.

This moaning pulsing pod people sequence is so gross and well done #monsterdon

David shows up at the mud place due to Matthew calling him but we just see him standing there for a moment so no idea if he's been podded yet at this point... just staring creepily like everyone does at some point in this movie #monsterdon

that texture is so revolting #monsterdon

aaaa the flower is crowning! #monsterdon

@moira @jonny If they'd made that single brief cut had been any longer it would've been less disturbing. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

San Francisco seems like a place one could really…put down roots. #monsterdon

@lytta Oh, Goldblum's wife bonked his face with hers when she ran into him! It's easy to miss because you just get a couple muffled lines of Jeff going "ow my nose" offscreen. #Monsterdon

"Tomorrow she'll be good as new." Brand new her, even. #monsterdon

@paco Get rid of classism? Evolve away from capitalism? #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

For anyone who enjoyed #monsterdon tonight, I recommend this short story by one of my favorite sci-fi authors on a similar topic https://reactormag.com/the-nearest-greg-egan/

Now I'm trying to figure out if the book guy in the mud bath is also the banjo and dog guy, because beard and I'm short term face blind...he has a hat though hmmm #monsterdon

+ either I missed it again or there's no explanation for goldblum's character having a nosebleed

@diazona @apLundell INVASION OF THE BELL BOTTOM SNATCHERS #Monsterdon

Not even a comment on the orange garbage truck working around the clock. #monsterdon

"I think the horizon looks bright." Now even without pod people I can tell you that is not the case. #monsterdon

There's that sound like hearing your pulse in your ears again for a soundtrack. I like that. #monsterdon

basically in my notifications there is a before #monsterdon and an after #monsterdon and if i was talking about something before then unless you remind me there's no way for me to know that.

this is a beneficial UX flaw.

The whole vibe of not being believed about normal looking humans being monsters in human skin, incapable of empathy or human connection, solely bent on destroying everyone around them and replacing them with imposter facsimiles is... Too relatable

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Now we'll never learn what was so totally special about those coeds!

#monsterdon

@srol Dont fall asleep in the tub… dunh dun duuuuunnnnh! #monsterdon

Dude just sitting there snorting something. #monsterdon

oh yeah good job team and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting ^_^

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

@Sorl Yeah that part was like "goddammit why does the smartest person in this movie also have _this_ shit going on"

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

"This is just the same way those rocket ships landed thousands of years ago so the aliens could mate with the apes and create the human race!" Well now, I just don't think that happened. And also, this is not like that. At all. #monsterdon

@lytta It's not in your face, but it has to be intentional, just because anything like that in a good movie usually is.

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

@strangefour @Taweret Yep, bleak like the #kingdomofthespiders #Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

And now it's time to enjoy some giant zucchini throw pillows in a Giant Spider Invasion of savings!
It is pleasant and quality.

Gosh now I guess if we all only ever ate all natural things we wouldn't be susceptible to the alien flower /s #monsterdon

Also the actual moral of this story is 'don't dismiss and gaslight women' #monsterdon

@lytta He's leaning against a dumpster of some kind and there's podded human remnants in it so I think by that time they're signalling he's already converted.

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

"I've never expected metal ships!" #monsterdon

I'm trying to determine whether David was podded the whole time or when he gets replaced... he gives a small laugh when he first appears so I don't think he *starts* as a pod person #monsterdon
