unlabelledView post →Dated, corny but pretty and production-designed to death, Forbidden Planet (1956) remains a touchstone film in the science fiction canon. One doesn’t have to recall the great Canadian clown Leslie Nielsen became later in his career to be amused by his hunky, womanizing starship captain.
unlabelledView post →Rewatching Forbidden Planet, it occurs to me that Frank Drebin's intonation and body language were born on the set of this film. Leslie Nielsen acted ham-ishly in his first big role, and then realized he could get a lot of mileage out of parodying this sort of thing. What a perceptive man.

unlabelledView post →🧵I watched Forbidden Planet last night. Hadn't seen it for decades. A super-intelligent race is destroyed, despite its technological advances, by its own subconscious primitive fears and greed, 'the monster of the ID'. Hashtag AI, etc. Anyway, couldn't help but notice how the film influenced others.

unlabelledView post →It is a strange time to be living in when the most accurate embodiment of the worst aspects of internet culturuel is embodied in the most powerful man in America. A literal shitposter. I feel like this is what happens when you don’t take on board the lessons of the movie Forbidden Planet.

unlabelledView post →#BOTD in 1926: the incomparable Leslie Nielsen (d. 2010). He parlayed his leading man image into one of the great comic personas of the 80s and 90s via AIRPLANE! (1980) and THE NAKED GUN (1988), but I'll always remember him as Commander J.J. Adams in FORBIDDEN PLANET (1956) #filmsky #moviesky #botd
unlabelledView post →If you want to watch an episode of Star Trek without Kirk- or Spock-level talent, you should watch Forbidden Planet, which is a fun, thoughtful sci-fi movie brought down to earth by perfectly respectable performances that are dull as hell to watch.
unlabelledView post →What is Backrooms like? Kane Parsons' surreal A24 sci-fi film is a hypnotic cousin to psychodrama projections Forbidden Planet and Last Year in Marienbad. Like describing a dog to someone who has never seen one; you'll get the gist, but not the details. 4 out of 5. film-authority.com/2026/05/30/b...

unlabelledView post →RIP. Forbidden Planet is a favourite movie of mine and he is great as the Cook. Kind of feels like he is in a different movie - a character from a WW2 service comedy who wound up on a spaceship instead of the Pacific - but it's a good bit.
unlabelledView post →Forbidden Planet has a lot of places where it is genuinely quite bad (all of them involving the only woman in the movie) but man this is just...the near peak of golden age sci-fi, right here www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBxU...

unlabelledView post →The Saturday movie was Forbidden Planet (1956) and it's still a cracking movie despite the almost 70 years intervening and a couple of dodgy scenes. The plot holds up and it still _looks_ fantastic. And a young Leslie Nielsen has a strange resemblance to Daniel Craig.
unlabelledView post →Well that was a good movie. We deserve them now and then. Misogyny aside, that was a really really good movie. We deserve something horrible now to make up for this... #Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet
unlabelledView post →One of my favorite things about the movie Forbidden Planet is that in spite of crewing a faster-than-light starship, a technology so unspeakably advanced the crew is still a bunch of drunk, horny sailors.

unlabelledView post →This concludes my #monsterdon thread for #ForbiddenPlanet, a movie that I liked but thought was more interesting than good, if that makes sense? It makes me want to watch sfdebris' review of this movie again... I think he had a good argument that its plot was kind of a religious warning against technology, which is a notable take. Remember to oil your robots I guess?

unlabelledView post →The trailer for FORBIDDEN PLANET refers to Leslie Nielsen as a "young man." I mean, he was but he also one of those dudes that looked middle aged even when he was young. Do miss the ballyhoo of old movie trailers. They really wanted to sell you on this stuff. youtu.be/AxQ9GG6hUDM?...

unlabelledView post →watched Forbidden Planet, interesting movie. Know this from culture osmosis but I'm surprised how good the effects are. Weirdest part is Leslie Nielsen is in this playing a normal guy.
unlabelledView post →This film is to Alien what Forbidden Planet to Star Trek. Fantastic film with stunning visuals and set design. Almost surreal and very atmospheric. Must see for any science fiction fan. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
unlabelledView post →If there was an ever a movie that COULD be remade but required everything be done with practical effects, it’s FORBIDDEN PLANET. Not saying I want that. It terrified me as a kid, and honestly still scares me now. For 1956 this movie broke every mold, and even now looks incredible.
