This evening's viewing: the 1970s remake of 50s classic SF/Horror Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, which I think is superior to the original (and boasts Donald Sutherland & Leonard Nimoy). Deliciously disturbing #horror , not seen this in years. Re-read the original novel with my book group last year.

@jonny @Taweret My retcon is that they dropped off a couple of pods at the mine _just in case_. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@ModusMatt Honestly I think they're both good in different ways and I'm not sure one or the other is _better_, and they're different enough that both are worth seeing.

For those of you wondering: yes, the "yay he made it to the authorities in time" ending WAS added on, according to Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_the_Body_Snatchers

#FakeMovieFacts -- Invasion of the Body Snatchers would be re-made in 1978, starring Donald Sutherland, and the story of Inspector Matthew Bennell would later be further explored in Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006)

@Taweret They skip over that in this version. They show it in the 70's version. It's grizzly. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

_Now_ is where the 70s version's point-and-scream would be perfect.
