oh and by "kinda fun" i mean the movie itself was kinda fun
it was terrible but things - very stupid things, but things - kept happening
i mean, it's no attack of the crab monsters, but it's kind of in that area of bad
and that's good
π¦#MONSTERDON Goodbye!
Thank you @Taweret for hosting this Ultra Low Budget Bomb!
and thanks @Cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite was "Frothy!" Made you think creatively.
And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: Thank you for a lot of fun. I barely watched the movie, as usual, and it didn't even matter. Have a murky week and keep a googly eye on your seed-eggs!
Fun fact: the writer of BOG was Carl N. Kitt who apparently also worked on the English release of a Korean Gundam rip-off called CAPTAIN OF COSMOS
My mom was shocked she was in the film. Our best guess as to why was maybe she was trying to pay for a grandkid in college #Monsterdon
Well that was a movie. Which makes it better than last week.
But also it was a *cough* Bog standard monster fishman movie.
This might be out most forgettable movie in a while. Which is not something I can say for last week's shitty Dracula Frankenstein Wolfman confusion.
#Monsterdon #Bog
@JoeWynne My son says heβs holding out hope for a Bog 2 with all the baby bog creatures.
We have The Creature From the Black Lagoon at home.
Well. I, uh, guess that's over. #Monsterdon
It is never The End on #monsterdon. But it can be The End?
Big movie for fans of watching things almost move #Monsterdon
points were redeemed by the blood scent generator trash bag costume reveal and the red suit costume #monsterdon
That had to have been about something other than the existence of a murderous lake creature left over from the ice age. But What? Why was it made? Thanks for the laughs #monsterdon crew. Take care. See ya soon.
Oh fuck off with 'more eggs'
HA HA HA OH MY GOD
THE CAR CRASH XD XD XD
Poor bastard's acrylic paint went up in FLAMES! XD XD #Monsterdon
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 I swear the Bog Monster costume was the silhouette of a Sunflora
@Taweret this is only Pt 1 as well..
"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
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
"Suppose you let _me_ decide what looks fish-like, hmm?"
buddy you may be an ichthyologist and a last-minute character introduction but you hardly have a monopoly on fish resemblance spotting
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
Screaming.
me too, movie, me too.
#monsterdon
#monsterdon Blood Scent Generator sounds like a Yes lyric btw..
βIβll create a blood scent generator in Visual Basic, see if I can track the monsterβs IP address.β
omg that monster is tragic....
#monsterdon YES to the monster effects!
Neil just went all Leroy Jenkins on them
Shout out to my new favorite character, Screaming Country Firetruck.
"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.
Welp, time to hit the hard liquor.
UNDERWATER CROWS BEAK!? #monsterdon
Good thing they've got the "diver down" flag up on a rowboat in a pond
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)
immersive rowboat action
"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
The arrival of the Sherriff's two combat helpers, whoever they are, gives me opening-of-PREDATOR feelings. like, that, but low budget
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
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.
Oh man oh man oh man maybe the bog monster _is_ a mosquito, this could be amazing
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.
"Down goes Corky!" #monsterdon
He running out of deputies to burn #monsterdon
βItβs a block of the new Acura RDX.β #Monsterdon #Bog1979
WHY THAT ZOOM ON HIS FACE
Sherriff's solution to protect the lake and people near it is to kill everything in the lake
Yea, that checks out.
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 noooo are they playing the opening song in the background?
oh, are these two, uh... oh. #monsterdon
I wanna sample this bog witch's monologue to fall asleep to.
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
this is a terrible movie, but with an awesome swamp hag
"Doc what the hell do we have out there?"
You have a bog that could install a pretty nice IV line in a pinch
Man, imagine if they'd made the witch look like this ON PURPOSE #Monsterdon
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
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....
Eric Roberts has over 700 credits in his acting career. One of the most prolific actors ever. He wasn't in this.
"It makes absolutely no sense!"
"So what does make sense?"
NOT THIS SCRIPT THAT'S FOR DAMN SURE
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
A load of white dudes from the American South wandering around a wood with rifles makes ME uncomfortable....
I donβt usually like saying βtheyβre in a better placeβ 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 Theme music: "Hold me soft and warm.." wait, do you know what movie this is?
Already this movie feels dirty, like a VHS snuff movie....
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
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
@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.
