The real Cerberus would have been ten times tougher than this #monsterdon

It's hard even to see a monstrous two-headed dog die in a movie #Monsterdon

First rule of script writing: have your hero kill a dog to get the audience on their side

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Stop-motion Cerberus!! Wait. This dog has two heads. Is that not Cerberus? And he's sure got a waggy happy tail for a killer.

#Monsterdon

The dog is just guarding it's home! #monsterdon Savages!!

Perceus' sword was nearly stolen by the clump of hair pulled out of Medusa's shower drain. #Monsterdon

F :blobfoxcry2:

#Monsterdon

NOOOO PUPPY #Monsterdon

Is... Is that Cerberus?

Why does it seem like just some generic dog that got zapped with the growth ray and a second head grew from the radiation?

#Monsterdon

pupy

#Monsterdon

@SRLevine I love the deep knowledge. This is the fediverse, where such thorough nerditry is not just tolerated, but celebrated! 😃

💥 CLASH OF THE TRIVIA 💥

Shouldn't the dog have three heads? A mythological two-headed dog was chosen because Ray Harryhausen believed three heads would be too much trouble.

💥 #ClashOfTheTitans1981

while you guys were fighting the two-headed dog... I studied the blade #monsterdon

Don't worry Perseus, that snake is native to South America so this is probably just a hologram

#Monsterdon

Stop motion puppy! :blobaww: #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Cerberus has THREE heads you idiots!

Are those glowing muppet eyes blinking from the shadows?
#Monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans

#monsterdon cerberos has 3 heads not 2

Biters!
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Perseus' boys: *valiantly fighting a two-headed wolf*
Perseus: "weeeeh a snake's sitting on my sword"

They're over there playing with the puppy, Perseus is just interested in a snake. Maybe if he tries, he can ride it bareback like he did with the stallion.
#monsterdon

Shield bash or something you idiots

#monsterdon

@aburka @SnoopJ There must be some kind of gorgon-photon coupling though, otherwise everybody would turn to stone

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Makes sense why he's hanging out with the praetorian now. #Monsterdon

it's 2/3rds of Cerberus!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon ⚔️⚡🔱🗿🛡️😱

Cerbie!!

is this a Kerberos?

DO YOU HAVE MY AUTHENTICATION TICKET?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon gmorgk?

You broke him... #monsterdon

Perseus you clod, you're not allowed to touch sculptures at the museum!

#Monsterdon

it would be funny if Zeus tried another videochat on Perseus shield as he is trying to use it as a mirror
#monsterdon

Aww he just wants to play. Anyone got a beggin' strip? #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Where's the third head? #monsterdon

Oh hey, Orthrus. Not who I was expecting. #Monsterdon

OK who's got the raw steak? Or at least a tennis ball?

#monsterdon

Perseus and Pippin.

Never take them anywhere.

#Monsterdon

@diazona Most guys his age never look a woman in the eyes #monsterdon

Where are the statues of adventurers? Gotta know when to stop looking all around. #monsterdon

Also bring treats for Cerebrus

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

PUPPY #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon courtyard full of stoners

Modern art! #monsterdon

Cerberus! Good boy! #monsterdon

Just a suggestion here, Perseus, but Andromeda has to stay untouched, and Medusa was literally cursed for being too sexy. Maybe shoulda brought baklava and mimosas? #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

TWICE THE PUPPER GETS TWICE THE PETTIN'S! #Monsterdon

I believe this section was all filmed in Ostia, just outside of Rome. Gorgeous place, go if you can.

#monsterdon

They should have hired John Cleese, Graham Chapman, and Terry Jones to play the Stygian witches.

#monsterdon

I wonder what the kitties are doing now.

#monsterdon #clashofthetitans

Death: Okay, but none of you better try and Melvin me, that's already been done, so I don't wear any underwear any more. So there. #Monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans1981

You'd think all of these buildings would have been NEW back then.

#Monsterdon

Cerebus?
#Monsterdon

glowing eyes!

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

@wohali@timeloop.cafe It was super shiny from the start, surprisingly! The better to see Zeus's face shining in it.

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans1981

Spoiler warning, Perseus! #monsterdon

"Never look her in the face"

*they all stare into the distance*

um...

#Monsterdon

oh, so now perseus is the medusa expert #monsterdon

Between the dirty warrior costumes and the skeleton this does look like a ferry to a Halloween party #monsterdon

I mean, that's the best Willy Wonka boatride I've seen yet. #monsterdon

Rosh Hashanah comes earlier every year

#Monsterdon

Last stop, end of the line, everyone off now. Bye bye, thanks for coming. Mind the gap.

#monsterdon

I like how whatshisname only gave him fare for one way #monsterdon

The SS Nisqually has been in service since 1962. Your WA State Ferry System paid for by your tax dollars.

#Monsterdon

Medusa was once a priestess so beautiful one look from her would turn men to stone... Wait

#Monsterdon

Doh!! I accidentally closed my browser! Where are we at? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I'm getting some very Time Bandits "fortress of ultimate darkness" vibes here, and I dig it.

@kiana He's got an anime figure collection you would not *believe.* #Monsterdon

This scene is after the bridge of death, where they have to answer the questions three, right?

#Monsterdon

💥 CLASH OF THE TRIVIA 💥

Gittin' Bizy During Production
Harry Hamlin and Ursula Andress had a child soon after the movie.

💥 #ClashOfTheTitans1981

@SRLevine Classic man in the middle exploit #monsterdon

#Monsterdon This is actually a much shorter movie than the director originally wanted. He had to cut 20 minutes of Harry Hamlin looking confused due to studio interference.

I can feel my attention slipping, but perhaps Medusa will make up for it

#Monsterdon

If we can build Furbies, why has there never been a toy Bubo? I want one by Christmas!

#Monsterdon

This scene was decidedly more funky in Zork: Grand Inquisitor. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Chyron, aka, "Cool Hand" Luke.

#monsterdon #clashofthetitans

@paco @SRLevine Same but at this point I might just be desensitized to it enough that I can turn off the part of my brain that cares about such things

#Monsterdon

@ricci Worth a boost? #monsterdon

oh no, I've got to run an errand, but I made a holy vow to keep my shirt off til this movie ended... #monsterdon

#monsterdon That story of Medusa kind of glossing over a few details there 😞 (Clash of the Titans, 1981 version though I think the 2010 version doesn't do much better)

@CactuarJoe Yeah back in Jersey we had to cross the river of the dead to get to Philly.
#Monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans

Ohhhh, it's Death from Hogfather!

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Clash of the Titans, more like, Clash of a Daimon and a Monster from Scandanavian Folklore

#monsterdon

@SRLevine If it's any consolation, I feel the same as soon as anyone starts "hacking" a "mainframe" in a film.

"Oh no! We will never guess his password!"
"Did you try 'Jeff'?"
"It worked! That's amazing, how did you know?"
"His name was Jeff Jefferson, and he was born on the 20th of Jeffuary, 19 Jeffty Jeff"

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Watch him forgot the coin.

Uber worked differently back then.

#monsterdon #clashofthetitans

Who knew the river Styx was just a couple days' ride from where they were! Exit 13 off of the NJ Turnpiek...

#monsterdon

@brooke More fun though

#Monsterdon

🎶 domo arigato, mister boat-man-o 🎶

#Monsterdon

Turns out Perseus was a band nerd #monsterdon

Oof! Left at a perfectly nice campsite with an old theater man instead of Perseus's visible nipple. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Perseus toots as he pleases #monsterdon

Nope. Just going to go on. It's fine. Should be fine.

#Monsterdon

toot!
#monsterdon

OK, Medusa was seduced by one god, then cursed by a jealous second, and now going to lose her head for some hair-brained scheme.

Not at all disturbing.

#monsterdon

"Another gift from the gods! "(Though they seem to be getting stranger in their giving...)

#Monsterdon

@blogdiva

Not watching, but I've seen it recently. And many times before. One of my favs from way back!

#Monsterdon

Exposition guard, useful as always with Chyron's obol! #monsterdon
