I hate everyone already, especially the men #monsterdon #bog

the "BOG" with blue border here is really making me think this is a Commodore 64 game #monsterdon

Ah, the inexplicable use of a tender love song to open a monster movie. 70s movies stay winning. #Monsterdon

I'm just saying that with the apparent expectation that women would just sit and listen to shit talk and then follow directions without question? It's a miracle the arsenic-poisoning rate wasn't higher.

#Monsterdon #JustGirlyThings

and right away we have a tube top. I'm gonna enjoy the peak 70s fashion tonight!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon How DARE these BROADS not PUT OUT :blobglare:

Wow, less than 6 minutes and I'm rooting for the monster.

#monsterdon #bog

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF DUDE IN RED SHIRT BEING THE FIRST TO DIE?

<raises hand>

#Monsterdon

believe me if I have anything to do with it you will see no action in

#monsterdon #Bog1979

Do you see what straight women had to contend with in the 70's?

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

@SRLevine Something swallowed Wilhelm #monsterdon

Are we supposed to zoom in to this blue box, or... #Monsterdon #TheBog1979

#Monsterdon one of the associate producers is a company, not a human. That's always a good sign.

#Monsterdon are the straights all right

WHAT. IS. THIS. INTRO MUSIC. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon she's going for the boob pics.

#Monsterdon... Well... maybe we need 1970s teenagers... They seem more sensible than 1970s adults...

"grant's lyin in his tomb" -- the hell does that even mean #monsterdon

Ladies, you've chosen poorly in these men....

....they're doing what we in the British Isle call 'dogging'

#Monsterdon

@LingLass HAUSER? #monsterdon #bog

Looks like a teeth optional affair #monsterdon

When America was great #monsterdon

I hope this movie doesn't see any "action" of their conjugal "action". #monsterdon

Rhoda????

#Monsterdon #bog1979

"I thought it required female blood but ok" #monsterdon

It's a whole box Bazooka Joe bubble gum!

#monsterdon #Bog1979

@LingLass Like, the band?

#monsterdon #bog

awright, that's right!!! lol

#Monsterdon
#bog1979

70s B movies sure were infatuated with white trash.

#monsterdon #bog

"All right, chuck baby" -- the movie's taking a bold pro-choice stance already!

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

walking hand in hand forever sounds like a Kafkaesque nightmare #Monsterdon

Is "-poo" an honorific like "-san" and "-sensei"? #monsterdon

We're going heavy on the foreshadowing I see

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

This music. #Monsterdon

“Grant’s lying in his tomb, dummy!”

#Monsterdon

There's something very "tiki bar dinner menu" about this font

#Monsterdon

the women stumble out of the station wagon grabbing at their backs

best acting in the film

#monsterdon #Bog1979

Mario and Luigi and their wives on vacation?
#Monsterdon #Bog

Man these guys are REALLY into bogs. #Monsterdon #Bog

@arisummerland I really should have planned it ahead of time so I could have watched it on my CRT TV.

#monsterdon #bog

Someone melted the title a little. It must have been this HOT BOG BALLAD. #Monsterdon #TheBog1979

"Show me that you love me... One more time... Rip my head off~ in the booooooog~ ♪" #Monsterdon

If the opening music is foreshadowing, Bog is going to feature two white people making their awkward foray into the Kama Sutra

#monsterdon

🎶 And shoooow me that you love me
In the booooooooog 🎶

#Monsterdon

Taking the ol' family truckster on a traditional family bog vacation #monsterdon

“We want you to be in our blockbuster new film. We’re calling it *BOG*”

Who could refuse? #monsterdon

#monsterdon Pat Hopkins is backed here by the Boggy Mountain Boys 🥁

associate producer: didn't want his name associated with this, so here's the name of the company that wrote this off for tax purposes #monsterdon

@moira ok yeah, you're right, that was added later, and the fade convinced me it wasn't done optically. But I bet they found the original font for it...?

#monsterdon

Directed by Don Kesslar Syndrome

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

I remember many a family road trip in the 70s, just traveling around loose in the way back of the station wagon. No seatbelts anywhere.

#Monsterdon

The whole budget went to the intro's helicopter shots #monsterdon #bog

#Monsterdon Title Song: Oh Bog, I Love You

Okay so this #Monsterdon bog movie starts with a camera showing us some fog and a wetland, which I guess is the titular bog. We hear some bird noises. Despite my avian username I cannot identify them, but the smarter monsterdonners say that they are loons.

The camera goes to a guy in a boat throwing explosives into the water to fish; he has a hat that is simultaneously silly and cool. He paddles his boat over to pick up the dead fish then something pulls him into the water. good start.

I saw an article that said this was filmed in Minnesota, but it was released in Albany, Georgia, and a lot of this landscape looks like south Georgia, so I’m not sure where it was shot.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon That isn't a white fluid throw around. Not at all.

As if fishing couldn’t be more boring. #monsterdon

Paul McCartney's band was the Director of Photography?

#Monsterdon #Bog

20 minute driving opening sequence inspired by MANOS THE HANDS OF FATE

#monsterdon #bog

@arisummerland the Tubi version has some impressive film artifacts & the instrumental music is shrill AF. #Monsterdon

Wings? #Monsterdon

Paylow?? What a perfect name for a producer!

#Monsterdon

Imagine your flying saucer breaking down on this backwater planet and being stuck here with the bog and the family trucksters #monsterdon

I will say this: for a #monsterdon we sure got our first death early enough.

Thank you 'Pat Hawkins', this may be the most professional offering of the whole show #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Bikini atoll test footage starts off the film I guess, along with animal noises that match neither the script nor the subtitles.

WOW within 1 minute we get a Wilhelm scream buddy the point is to _hide_ that easter/stinky egg somewhere in the film

I sure hope tonight doesn't live forever in my mind, song

#Monsterdon

oh I like the prism intro #monsterdon

Cuz' nothing says love me like bog....

#Monsterdon #bog1979

well, they're framing better than Manos, we've got that much

#monsterdon #Bog1979

Great song or greatest song? #monsterdon #bog

DIrector of Cinematography: WINGS

Ah good, always nice to see Paul McCartney back behind the camera where he belongs.

#monsterdon

MONSTER CHOMP

So long, dynamite fisher. Bog got ya.

(Uhhhh what in the heckity-heck is going on with this intro music. And apparently the aerial shots antedated stabilizing gimbals??)

#monsterdon

"Walk with me and inhale"?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

The family truckster.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTB— ahhhhhh!!!!!!

#Monsterdon

@Ayyyydrew Ma'am please don't kiss the bog :/ #Monsterdon

BOC?

#monsterdon
#Bog

I did, in fact, download the Rifftrax version 🤣 I bet fedi will be funnier

#Monsterdon

@SRLevine @nev also mooching!

did you know: BOG is Danish for BOOK

#monsterdon

*points at Marshall Thompson's name* #Monsterdon

@moira oh but it is! if you're doing it in video overlay for a made-for-TV movie, heh.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Okay the scream was worse but I think I got my volume figured out.

Maybe the computer update changed how volume works when headphones are plugged in.

but no one cares about that.

BOG BOG BOG

My Bog have mercy on us #monsterdon

Ah, the joys of dynamite fishing ... our first apparent death, and what an abrupt transition to the opening titles.

And choices were made on the opening song. Bad choices.

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

Oops. someone left the logo to close to the space heater. #Monsterdon #Bog

JIZZ BOG

#monsterdon #bog

And now, the LOVE THEME FROM BOG

Because nothing says love like dynamite fishing!

#Monsterdon

oh dear...

#Monsterdon #bog1979

This looks truck stop classy #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

most realistic scream-while-being-dragged-out-of-a-boat ever

What is this song! #monsterdon #bog1979

It's like a crossover between Strongbad singing "come on get on the boat fish!" and saying "dyne-o-mite!" #monsterdon #bog

Quick, someone find the Bog font

#Monsterdon #Bog1979
