And now, the Boggy Creek Choir. #Monsterdon

"Jensen, he's headed for the bog!"

lmao he's a bog monster dude of course he's headed for the bog

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I swear the Bog Monster costume was the silhouette of a Sunflora

@Taweret this is only Pt 1 as well..

#Monsterdon

"Brad look! A shoe!"

Cinderella!? #Monsterdon

I see they're keeping the creature alive with a grocery store lettuce mister #Monsterdon

This movie is man against nature but where nature just wants a healthy, fulfilling relationship

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

given the track record of this movie, they are introducing this icthyologist to squeeze in one last threesome scene with the doctors for absolutely no reason #monsterdon

Oh, the monster's full of pistachio cream. #Monsterdon

I swear to god if the monster turns out to be the bog lady's kid... #Monsterdon

what the fuck the movie is still happening? they just resolved everything #monsterdon

Oh hey, he stole the cop's plane from The Wicker Man #Monsterdon

Hello pantsuit, welcome to the 70s

#Monsterdon

Screaming.
me too, movie, me too.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Blood Scent Generator sounds like a Yes lyric btw..

omg that monster is tragic....

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon YES to the monster effects!

Neil just went all Leroy Jenkins on them

#Monsterdon

"Blood scent generator". #monsterdon

This movie could have half as many scenes and still have the same number of things happen. #monsterdon

Again, this is gonna be like The Giant Spider Invasion and they're gonna forget the flares while the sheriff gets eaten by the monster butt-first. #Monsterdon

@ranjit
Small town. He's also Librarian.
And drives a salt truck in winter.

#Monsterdon

Welp, time to hit the hard liquor.

#monsterdon #bog1979

UNDERWATER CROWS BEAK!? #monsterdon

Good thing they've got the "diver down" flag up on a rowboat in a pond

#monsterdon

Huh, monster laid gacha eggs. #Monsterdon

@Cherizilla It's completely normal to do so. (also, this means you use the snorkel at the surface to save air)

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

immersive rowboat action

#Monsterdon

"You could have just siad 'what if it's something from the ice age'. I didn't need the 4 minute clarification." #monsterdon

OMG, we actually saw a bit of monster!!! #Monsterdon

"Every time I look out at those bogs, at those glacial lakes [...]" literally the opposite of each other there doc

#monsterdon

The arrival of the Sherriff's two combat helpers, whoever they are, gives me opening-of-PREDATOR feelings. like, that, but low budget

#Monsterdon

Never seen a white cop from the sticks that happy to see a Black man before, this movie is fantasy....

....I'm shipping them.

The bog will spare their Queer lives, it only feeds on Straights

#Monsterdon

In the high school science lab, complete with fake skeleton (yay), the science lady and the science gentleman talk about how the monster put an anti-coagulant into its victims bloodstream. The science lady shows the science gentleman her microscope (which is pointed at slime), and they conclude that the monster is made of cancer. Crystal cancer. That walks, I guess.

#monsterdon

Oh man oh man oh man maybe the bog monster _is_ a mosquito, this could be amazing

#monsterdon

Eets Naht a Tumor #Monsterdon

#monsterdon The Gentry are apparently used to Bog Explosions..

I extremely like how Science Lady has a giant poster of the moon on the wall of her office.

#monsterdon

"Down goes Corky!" #monsterdon

He running out of deputies to burn #monsterdon

“It’s a block of the new Acura RDX.” #Monsterdon #Bog1979

WHY THAT ZOOM ON HIS FACE

#monsterdon #bog1979

Sherriff's solution to protect the lake and people near it is to kill everything in the lake

Yea, that checks out.

#Monsterdon

Seriously. Fuck you movie. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Please cock block them right now Bog Monster this is PAINFUL

what the fuck is going on #monsterdon

oh get the hose D: #Monsterdon

The love theme from the Bog
#monsterdon

oh, are these two, uh... oh. #monsterdon

I wanna sample this bog witch's monologue to fall asleep to.

#monsterdon #bog1979

Okay can we be in the story the Bog Witch is setting up. It seems way cooler than this show in a sheriff's log cabin.
#Monsterdon #Bog

"hypodeemic nerdle"

*snort*

#Monsterdon

this is a terrible movie, but with an awesome swamp hag

#monsterdon

"Doc what the hell do we have out there?"

You have a bog that could install a pretty nice IV line in a pinch

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

Does anything cost a dollar anymore? When I was a kid a buck got you a game of space invaders, two plays on the jukebox and a Payday bar. We(human beings) actually paid for things with change at one time. When was the last time you used change to buy something? It was so big at one time they had machines yuo could put bills in and get it back in quarters. I'm totally serious. #monsterdon

Adriana's script was missing every fourth word and all punctuation

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

Yes, just enter the hobo's stinky palace, I'm sure this won't be creepy at all. #Monsterdon

Whoa, his suit blends in with the brick wall behind him. He's a taupe chameleon! #Monsterdon

I am expecting duelling banjos....

#Monsterdon

Eric Roberts has over 700 credits in his acting career. One of the most prolific actors ever. He wasn't in this.

#monsterdon

"It makes absolutely no sense!"

"So what does make sense?"

NOT THIS SCRIPT THAT'S FOR DAMN SURE

#Monsterdon

was that THREE competing gun dealers in the single gun store? #monsterdon

She seems so unbothered and moisturized for someone who just completed an autopsy on two young women #monsterdon #bog1979

70s COP VIOLENCE

CINEMA VERITE, GENTLEMEN

#Monsterdon

A load of white dudes from the American South wandering around a wood with rifles makes ME uncomfortable....

#Monsterdon

I don’t usually like saying “they’re in a better place” but considering the women are now in the bog away from the men, I guess that would be a fair assumption #monsterdon #bog1979

I feel really soiled watching these men lure 'city ladies' to the bog...

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Theme music: "Hold me soft and warm.." wait, do you know what movie this is?

and the cut that is what got me to boot up my cutting program, a supercut of the amazing monster noises. favorite is the third segment where the person at the mic is just clearly having so much making these noises

#Monsterdon #BogMonsterNoiseAppreciationSociety

*post-credits stinger*

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 BOG (1979). It is a movie that alternates between frenetic and plodding in a way that *always* feels plodding. It has a delightfully silly monster costume for the bog monster, there is a bog witch, and the single greatest monster-noise sequence I have seen in a Monsterdon flick.

See the post at the top of this thread for more info:

@SnoopJ Based on the poster, I was expecting more slime #Monsterdon

A sequel should be called "Bog Monster, Prisoner of Piranhas" #monsterdon

I really think the editor/writer/director....potentially all one person, ...should carry most of the blame for that

#Monsterdon

@moira @floatybirb #monsterdon Creepy? Bog witch was cool. I legit would hang with her.

well, that was a set of scenes put to film, i guess. points for the bog witch, the bog monster's costume, and literally nothing else. #monsterdon

Okay, well anyway, our fleet of car rectangles catches up to the bog monster, which has kidnapped the science lady. We kill it with fire.

Then the underwater camera that we paid for goes through the bogweed forest again and finds more monster eggs, which the voice over explains that they will hatch into more monsters and eat more people.

Then the credits roll and we get more lovey dovey music. It reminds me of Enka but less colorful and in English.

#monsterdon

I take back what I said - Yeti was the shittiest monster. This is one #2

#monsterdon

They just drove off and left a building burning in the woods

#monsterdon

He seems awfully blasé about the big monster abducting the woman whose neck he's been sucking for the last 70 minutes #Monsterdon

They actually did

"The End ?"

Fuck them

#Monsterdon

I have questions on why the bog monster would need humans for its reproductive cycle. There wouldn't be humans in North America before maybe 20,000 BC or so, what did its ancestors do back then?

Can the bog monster maybe also infuse non-human hosts?

#monsterdon

Wait so the last standing cop did a suicide run into monster?

#monsterdon

I've heard people snore like the monster growls

#Monsterdon

holy fuck the monster noises have me cackling that was the best

#Monsterdon

First a blood scent generator, now a blood affinity. All so commonplace.

#Monsterdon

SIX MINUTES

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

The bog monster likes Matures....

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon did the leaded gas just make everyone hornier (and bigger assholes) in the 70s?

is this monster and it's babies about to eat Temu Barbara Hale? >:[ #monsterdon

#Monsterdon okay so injecting the blood is about making you closer genetically for reproductive purposes but also is an aphrodisiac? Is this movie about goddamn SEX POLLEN

Go ahead and leave her alone with the creature. It’ll be fine since you’ve subdued the creature with a hairnet. #monsterdon

@jonny
Somebody had already paid for use of the sea plane? 🤷‍♂️

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

oh I am scowling at this movie *so fucking hard* #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Are we about to get a chemistry lesson on the blood? All of the other elements of the Periodic Table that they haven't mentioned..

BOG WITCH LORE

#Monsterdon

Shout out to my new favorite character, Lake Seaplane. Fuck yeah I love a good surprise seaplane.

#monsterdon

ah, what a vital scene... a bunch of middle aged white guys re-explaining what one of them is doing here. #monsterdon

Trying to bukkake the monster to death. #Monsterdon

lol, @ Neil's eulogy as his comedy corpse is carried away

gotta appreciate how this film kills off so many characters though...

#Monsterdon
