He did the thing!

Thanks for another night of goop and goofs, #Monsterdon! Thank you @Taweret for organizing!

@hannah yeah, this one's like... actually really good? which isn't the first time we've had an actual really good film on #monsterdon but it's atypical

@randy_s Fun Fact: in the home video versions, that audio stem from the Don Siegel cameo was actually missing for decades until Shout! Factory and Arrow Video fixed that several years ago.

#monsterdon

You could call that the first “podcast”! 🤣😂 seriously though that was the most unsettling two hours of film ive ever seen, what the fuck #monsterdon

my body? snatched ​:BlobCat_Triumph:​

thanks for hosting @Taweret@octodon.social & thanks to all (whether type H, type P, or type HD) for the riffs!
#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

#Monsterdon she's still got her boobs out? pod people are above hu-mon "modesty"

#Monsterdon he's destroying all the lighting fixtures

not cool, human

So here's my question: Pod people got no emotions, no desires beyond survival. What's the world look like after they've absorbed the human race? Is it just plants reproducing pointlessly for eons until the earth collapses and they move on to the next world? #Monsterdon

We're DOOMED!

The End.

Thanks for a truly magnificent #Monsterdon @Taweret !

Now I am more convinced more than ever that Trump/Vance and their entire campaign are Pod People.

Both endings were great in their own respective rights.

Wonder if "we're next"?

#Monsterdon

@srol not to mention put them in our laundry and our dishwashers

when will humanity ever learn

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

#monsterdon Wow, those were quick credits.

If you're reading this, you're at the tail end of a long stream of posts on the feed about #Monsterdon, a fediverse community movie-watching event. This week we watched INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1978). See the post at the top of this thread for more info:

okay.
#monsterdon

That was fun. I hadn't seen that film in its entirety in quite some time. #BodySnatchers78 #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Agreed

#Monsterdon

@randy_s

Pod DMV
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

#Monsterdon

Aliens 1 game to nil

#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

@jonny what kind of flourish, like Vincent Price?

Oh. Well yeah that would've been better yeah #Monsterdon

Ironically I'm watching a Invasion of the Body Snatchers double feature today when I got home: 1956 (Blu-ray) and 1978 versions (4K UHD)!

#monsterdon

Maybe he can try crossing the Bay Bridge into Oakland. Alien pods wouldn't be interested in the East Bay #monsterdon

might have to make that man-dog face my new profile pic

Thanks yall and thanks to @Taweret for hosting <3 see you next week!

#Monsterdon #invasionofthebodysnatchers1978

the first time that i saw this movie, i had seen the meme but didnt actually twig that it was from this until it happened ​:BlobCat_Enjoy:​
#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

@srol I resemble that remark. lol #Monsterdon

This was truly great! #monsterdon

And so ends screaming plant people '78 #monsterdon

There it is! He did the thing! #monsterdon

wat

#Monsterdon

Banjo: Jerry Garcia

#Monsterdon

So ends another #Monsterdon. Our sincere thanks to the beloved @Taweret for hosting and to all the posters and lurkers. And remember, #Monsterdoners, if a loved one is acting odd, maybe they've developed a social disease, maybe they've become a Republican.

I finally understand that meme!

#Monsterdon

And there's the kicker scream! Hope you enjoyed Sutherland's tonsils just there.

Thanks everyone for a great film! See you and @Taweret and all the other fantastic fans next week, if I can.

Ciao!

#monsterdon

....oh. somehow wasn't expecting that despite being paranoid all movie long #monsterdon

aaaaaand we fuck off up Donald Sutherland's nose D: #Monsterdon

um. uh. wow.
#monsterdon

I love happy endings.

#Monsterdon

That Elizabeth's past her Best By date #monsterdon

Those sirens just mean LOOK OUT IT'S DONNY HATCHET!!

#Monsterdon

The world is now at peace. A perfect pod peace.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

They must have got a good deal on bagpipe music.

#monsterdon

poor pod goldblum

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

oooOOooo an _automatic_ elevator

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

#Monsterdon damn dude that's effed up

@CactuarJoe they probably need a planet that already has life in order to survive - they need stuff to eat to grow and live - and for them--drifting on the solar winds randomly--it's a huge success when they end up on any planet with any amount of life, and they do whatever they need to to establish themselves there #monsterdon

Another, worser version of Amazing Grace!

#Monsterdon

The big reveal is... A hydroponic grow operation in San Francisco? #Monsterdon #Monsterdank

@georgieboy If you're a plant, and you're looking for a 'plant' that might be confusing. #MonsterDon

"RUN
a race against time"
#monsterdon

I've had subtitles on Tubi this WHOLE movie and they haven't started working until just now on the PA announcements and they're taking up 2/3 of the screen. #monsterdon

the life of a pod person seems dull as fuck, it's all about the pod, nothing else

#monsterdon

so much for the corduroy

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

One thing we know, pod people nipples are the last thing to grow in. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

@Zerofactorial in heels! #Monsterdon

like blow up as much pod stuff as you can on your way out, cool, but give it a little flourish #monsterdon

Pod people have the same self-preservation instincts as the humans in this movie. It took them over a full minute after the alarms started to look for the person who set them off, even though they all looked at him immediately.

#monsterdon

"I would never bother you when you're getting a piece of wood!" #WrongMovie surprisingly #MonsterDon

Y'know, I'm not gonna criticize, but it seems to me if I were an alien species desperate to survive, I probably wouldn't land on an inhabited planet. That seems like it would guarantee a fight, which is really counterproductive when you're trying not to die. #Monsterdon

I get it, it’s about people who have podcasts trying to convince you to start a podcast #monsterdon

My head canon is that they were all killed by cucumber beetles. #Monsterdon

Have you ever just watched a film and thought....

"No, they really don't make pants like they used to."

#monsterdon

Also yeah the asbestos filing was all the bodies

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@Lazarou I was thinking of red dress Brooke when they jump onto the truck #monsterdon

I can help but notice how everyone lips is so fucking dry, where's the chapsticks? #monsterdon

They neglected to mention that when you become a pod person you gain the ability to make otherworldly screaming noises

#Monsterdon

The hearkening scream is fabulous. 10/10 for getting everyone's attention.

#Monsterdon
#InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

I think the banjo noise made the man-faced dog scene 10x worse. 😆

#Monsterdon

I suppose in the 1970s, it's more plausible that tract lighting falling on plants might just fucking blow up. LEDs aren't going to do that, they're powered by cold fusion or ghosts or something. #monsterdon

Nipples and horror :blobscream:

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

ok that tongue scream thing was creepy #monsterdon

also, did he just drop the axe? idiot! #monsterdon

The podcaster grow op is in danger!
Danger danger pod people!
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

@CactuarJoe Make sure not to undercook it

#Monsterdon

Wow, pods are very flammable. #monsterdon

Oh man, I love that Elizabeth is walking like the T-1000 :D Badass :D #Monsterdon

OH THE SQUELCHING

#Monsterdon

ma'am, ma'am you need some clothes, things are on fire? #monsterdon

INDY! #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

A a mazing clone, how sweet the pod
That made a wretch like me.... #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon fresh local produce is what makes living in the bay area so great

Happy to finally see some things getting set on fire

I don't even care what at this point

#Monsterdon

🦖 #MONSTERDON 🎞️

😨💀 INVASION OF THE TRIVIA 👾

At the end of the movie, the character played by Veronica Cartwright was shocked by a surprise and shrieked in terror.

This was somewhat real because the Director did not tell her in advance what was going to happen in the "Twist Ending", when she sees Matthew do the famous "point" and scream.

#InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers1978

I seem to have some sort of mental block that causes me to forget #monsterdon is happening until the movie is over.

@Zerofactorial unencumbered by clothes #monsterdon

@brooke THERE OUGHTA BE. I'M MAKING ONE RIGHT NOW #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

There better be some head choppin' #monsterdon

@joeo10 They should remake it again where women get to run in Crocs #monsterdon

I think Matthew knows he's screwed but he wants to kill as many of them as he can... valid #monsterdon

Her lips are super chapped. #monsterdon

Lesson: get an axe much much sooner, and use it for good effect

#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Women and pods first! #monsterdon

@brooke

"Yes"

"Maybe later"

#Monsterdon

Man. What I would do for some fried zucchini right now. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon there's no rule that says a dog with a human face *can't* play basketball

Sees a body covered in growth and still comments on his bloody nose first. #monsterdon

Take that, plant fiends!

#monsterdon

Huh, didn't remember Axe Cop's origin story going like this #monsterdon

Fun Fact: both the 1956 and 1978 versions have running in heels which is never a good idea when you're trying to not get replaced.

#Monsterdon

Oh lol 😅

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Ah the axe - pacifist's favorite weapon!

#monsterdon
