It covers the accessory nipple on the back of his hand #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

@apLundell also for a second I misread that as "pants are the enemy" which is a very different but equally interesting premise

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe @jwisser Was the guy watching TV on headphones and off-duty pod person? #Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Here is a page from the first issue of the "My Little Pony : Friendship is Magic" comic book.

#monsterdon

@ColesStreetPothole @flowerpot @jonny Over here @RobynGoodfellow was all "Okay Monsterdon what the fuck" and I thought it was in reply from bleptember and couldn't breathe for 5 minutes xD

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

I will say this for tonight's #Monsterdon: I can't remember being this reluctant to go back to real life afterwards

They glossed over it but how *does* he know the mayor is his friend's patient? #monsterdon

@Sorl EXACTLY! UNANSWERED QUESTIONS! C'mon movie you gave us 20 minutes of running around randomly in San Francisco and you can't answer the burning questions?!

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

The pod people pass a city ordinance declaring “vegetative state” to be hate speech. #monsterdon

@apLundell I will remember that next time I find myself staring down a salad bar

#Monsterdon

What is this leather non-glove that only covers the back of Nimoy's hand? #monsterdon

Jeffrey was passing those larger egg pod things off to people early on in the movie while Elizabeth follows him #monsterdon

None of this would have gotten out of hand if there were hares around to eat all the pods #monsterdon #WickerMan

Kinda sloppy sudden zoom there, like the cameraman just stepped closer to the pod guy's face. #monsterdon

Okay we see banjo guy again! I think we know a bit of time has passed because he has more of a beard now. Matthew greets him; his name is Harry. I think he might be the same as the unhoused guy near the end, and Matthew kicking the pod is what causes the dog thing? #monsterdon

Now, don't call the police when you find a waxy fluffy adult fetus in the sauna, but do call the police when you break into somebody's house and find something there while you're trespassing. #monsterdon

@commodore @RobynGoodfellow I dunno, most films we watch for #Monsterdon are somewhat comical, although whether they intended to be so is a different question 😂

Anyway, I would say it never hurts to make the suggestion at least. We wouldn't wind up actually watching the movie without it first passing muster with @Taweret and then winning a poll, so by that point if it's not what people expect there would be very little blame left for you.

@lytta how is that supposed to read an hour and 30 minutes later, he was onscreen for like 3 seconds #monsterdon

A great creeping horror peice, very much in the existential horror category, with a backdrop of creepy space horror.

I still think the loony tunes tribute to the movie freaked me out more :PanicIntensifies:

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

and it all ends in vore

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Have they changed the mud in the time since the guy died in it at least? #monsterdon

I intend to vote for the candidate that seems least like a quality movie when it's time for the next #monsterdonalert poll. I'm tired now #monsterdon

:flan_guitar: All we are saying :flan_drummer:
:flan_garden: Is give peas a chance :flan_alien:

#Monsterdon

@lytta as always they actually do reveal basically the entirety of the plot in the first 5 minutes i always miss #monsterdon

@diazona @hannah Yeah, I enjoy the scene most when the film _isn't_ real good but _is_ still enjoyable on its own. That's the perfect spot for me>

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

There's that scream again! I've heard it two other times so far. #monsterdon

@hannah @moira I tend to do that too when the movie is good (not tonight but mostly because I don't like horror movies) but it definitely does spoil the #Monsterdon experience a bit. IMO it's best when I can barely be paying attention to the movie and still follow along.

@ColesStreetPothole @jonny oh gods

that'd be so real SMOOCHIES FROM MONSTERDON tag bombing xD xD xD

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Great anticipation sneaky music. #monsterdon

#monsterdon 5/5 pods

@apLundell this is me not judging how awesome your #Monsterdon routine is

Elizabeth goes to sleep holding Jeffrey and wakes up with no Jeffrey in bed... and Pod!Jeffrey cleaning up glass.

Which means it's very likely that human Jeffrey dissolved in her arms as she slept

#monsterdon

Underlit Sutherland face looking out of the closet. #monsterdon

I really like that woven rope wall hanging. Would that be tacky decoration by modern standards? #monsterdon

I think the scene in the bookstore where Elizabeth talks with the women who was brushed off by Dr. David makes for a Bechdel pass #monsterdon

When Matthew calls Elizabeth, he is cutting out a headline from a newspaper that reads "Webs Shroud Bay Area", so I think the idea that the invasion was already very much in effect at the beginning is true #monsterdon

@jonny Haha yeah for me that's probably the most classically #Monsterdon thing about this whole movie

I had assumed at the time it'd make the main characters scream and thus give them away as non-pod people, but I honestly couldn't tell if anyone noticed

You think that actor dog had fun running around with a people mask on? #Monsterdon

Time to put on headphones and watch clocks. #monsterdon

The pod version of director Wes Craven films horrifying films to scare the pod people. It's just hours of humans being happy and expressing emotions. #monsterdon

The moral of the story is that those who want to snatch other people's bodies ought to mind their own damn business #monsterdon

@diazona i like the way it had nothing to do with anything and had no impact on anything either #monsterdon

@jonny DEAD INSIDE

but well

they all are so

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

You know my post-#monsterdon plan was to take my first bath with bath bombs in like three years but a bath bomb is technically a kind of pod ...

Soundtrack groaning like a door hinge. Not in a bad way, it's atmospheric. #monsterdon

So I am in fact rewatching (I probably won't go all the way through) and I DID in fact miss the priest swinging on the swingset at the beginning #monsterdon

@jonny Yes! #BanjoDog is an instant classic

I mean, he's not quite on the same level as Octaman, but respectably close.

#Monsterdon

@jonny yisssss

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

@trixter It was the scene that stuck in my head over ten years #monsterdon

The wall looked a little wet.

See you'd think bars on the windows and a plank of wood blocking the door would be decent security but you'd be wrong. #monsterdon

Have no fear. The body snatchers will return in Invasion 2: Oh Pod You Devil. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@CactuarJoe it was a cautionary tale about the dangers of whatever the f that dog thing was. #monsterdon

I had fun for the most part, but it does feel like at some point the writers got bored with the movie and just decided to pod everyone. #monsterdon

🦖 #MONSTERDON Goodbye 🎞️

From the pod placed down by host @Taweret grew a awesome creature based on references to Safety posters, Homer, half-gloves, still not listening to women, shoe in pants, hoes, Woman On the Run, porn show barker job loss, GooGuys, Man-dog, Warriors, that shrieking, Canadian get your gun, Kill your clone and so much more!

and to @cheribaker for Bingo (romantic moment = inappropriate kissing)

and for @randy_s who did the cocktail recommendation for this week!

@diazona @gnomon You're not wrong #monsterdon

#monsterdon One other little tidbit since I got to that point in the timeline- the floor buffer dude was director of photography Michael Chapman doing a little self portrait there.

okay I'm JUST realizing that the little pod aliens actually started off by imitating earth plants and going up from there #monsterdon

So... Was that still a cautionary tale about the dangers of Communism? #Monsterdon

@gnomon TBH I think this was a reasonable one to miss... the movie was too much of a proper horror movie, not cheesy enough to give the top-tier #Monsterdon experience

@strangefour If they don't have any emotions, then there's no embarrassment. I guess dress codes can relax a LOT. #monsterdon

It's bleeding tomato soup or ink or something. #monsterdon

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

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

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:

https://hachyderm.io/@SnoopJ/111004128276431553

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
