that's a...silo!

yeah, A SILO

#monsterdon

The Burgess Meredith quotient of this movie is way higher than expected.

#Monsterdon

@JoeWynne i have been noticing that with a lot of stuff we've watched recently. widely understood as a Star Wars ripoff, but everybody involved denies it. come on, it was because of Star Wars wasn't it? #Monsterdon

Ah, the Washington Monument marks the spot

#Monsterdon

I love that little mechanical bird. My grandparents had a little metal bronze bank that was owl shaped. When I would visit them I'd pet that little Bubo idol.
#Monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans

now it's time to pick up The Glaive(TM)

oh wait, wrong movie

#Monsterdon

Oh shoot! A cameo by the Washington Monument! #Monsterdon

I mean, Tytock was right there. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

*in defiance of Zeus's command, Athena conceals her beloved pet owl Bubo and dispatches a brass and iron clockwork owl wrought by Hephaestus as a gift to aid Perseus instead*

BIRDS AREN'T REAL

#monsterdon

@blogdiva This came out in 1981, and R2D2 was 1977.

#Monsterdon

@log ... and #SplendaDaddy thinks he needs a little botox. #monsterdon

just follow ol' Laserbeak! #monsterdon

Bubo speaks droid #monsterdon

This movie was way better when I was 10 years old.

#Monsterdon

shield and magic Dee-Too

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

did someone see C3PO and decide they wanted the Ancient Greek version!?
#monsterdon

Owls: Cat software in bird hardware. #Monsterdon

Bubo-D2 #monsterdon

@smp don't worry, subtitles say it's Bubo. totally different!

#monsterdon

You can tell this was inspired by Star Wars, can't you?

#Monsterdon

He can take my helmet, but he will never take ... my OWL!

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans1981

Ah, the old "I am no man" trope. No Greek myth is complete without one!

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

I was so mad about Bubo's existence as a kid, I think the popularity of R2D2 is to blame

#Monsterdon

I wanna OwlBot too! #Monsterdon

@apLundell No one thought to bring a bow. Bows would give them range. But how could they rip off clothes and fight monsters with bows?

#Monsterdon

I assume this means that the comic relief has arrived, just in time for half the movie

#Monsterdon

comedy, folks
#monsterdon

@ricci@discuss.systems Bubo. It means Owl.

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans1981

That owl stop-motion animation is...not good #monsterdon

@r343l everyone talking in Canonical High Fantasy Voice or whatever you call that is a humongous negative to me that is hard to overcome, and aside from the cool monsters there's just nothing i find cool or funny or weird. none of my buttons pressed, but i get why other ppl like this kinda stuff #monsterdon

:unsure_fry: is that the tree from Sleepy Hollow #monsterdon

I wouldn't give my bird up either... #monsterdon

Awkward owl name, tho. Buboe is what the swellings of yersina pestis are called. #monsterdon

Is the owl a robot? The owl totally looks like a robot

#Monsterdon

Hephaestus charges extra for rush jobs. He is the Scotty of Mount Olympus.
#Monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans

ok, maybe not one that falls on their head first thing

#monsterdon

A magic robot owl that can’t right itself. Okay.

#Monsterdon

Quick summon Amaterasu, it's a mechanical owl

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon isn't it amazing the way that Ancient Greece looks absolutely nothing like the Mojave desert?

It's amazing how ancient Greece looks absolutely nothing like southern California.
#monsterdon

Hands off, bitch! No touchy the owl. #Monsterdon

Robo-bird!

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ true dat

#Monsterdon

Yay! Bubo! The R2D2 of ancient Greece #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

I fucking loved bubo when I was a kid #monsterdon

Oh yeahhhh I remember that owl, haha. I'd like a clockwork owl!

#monsterdon

"Contemplate this.... on the Tree of Woe!" #monsterdon

It's a mechanical owl with a comedic sense of timing!
#Monsterdon

This must be the Phonecician Scheme I've heard so much about

#monsterdon
#ClashOfTheTitans

Honestly, Bubo not a great name for anyone. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

The Owl of Minerva, most traditional Toronto joint #monsterdon #clashofthetitans

@littlemiao It's day time and these god-nerds are keeping it away?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon ⚔️⚡🔱🗿🛡️😱

Nope nope nope: do not give Persius Bubo the Owl, Athena!

Aw I wanted it to be Dracula in bat form

#Monsterdon

Beloved Bubba owl. At least Zeus doesn’t get 100% of his demands met. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon i fucking loved the little clockwork owl as a kid & I still do.

This movie has lots of creatures. @WizardOfDocs reminded me that Greek mythology is good for creatures. Anyways I'm happy. Creatures!

#Monsterdon

I'm guessing that the guards have brooms on their heads because statues and columns are just crumbling into dust all the time. Makes for easy cleanup.

#Monsterdon

she could just hide BooBoo in a pokeball. #monsterdon

Why does Athena’s owl look so sleepy?#Monsterdon

this scene would be better had it been filmed in New Zealand. #monsterdon

( roll stock western footage ) #monsterdon

It seems very foolish to mock a goddess in her own temple. But I guess that's all the greek myths. #monsterdon

Cute barn owl. #Monsterdon

The gender dynamics in this movie are a whole fricking thing. #monsterdon

If I had a pet owl like that I would also tell the gods to fuck off before I parted with it.

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

#monsterdon Zeus was always a creepy Daddy. Especially when it comes to his fancy golden shower time with rando chicks

@log EXACTLY

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

@wohali I bet she's got great scores in Duolingo #monsterdon

@moira They're still everywhere. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Zeus is such a sugar daddy. #monsterdon

I want a shoulder owl!!!!!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon ⚔️⚡🔱🗿🛡️😱

Lots of pretty horsies!

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

AGAB

#Monsterdon

Calibos is well and truly hippophobic, isn't he.

#Monsterdon

"We follow the north star!"
"But it's totally cloudy outside right now?"

#monsterdon

brb, have to do one of the twelve labors of Blue (laundry)

#monsterdon

welcome to inexplicably bad rear projection, population calibos but why

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

I don't get the virgin thing #monsterdon #clashofthetitans

"We follow the North Star" She says in the middle of the afternoon. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

@bunnyhero ba dum tsk

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

#monsterdon You can't have the peril, it's far too perilous! So! Much! Peril! Plus, anyone got a cell phone huh? Just chat up the Kween and let her know we won't be coming back when the streetlights come on.

"Some hoofprints, then nothing." Because it's a fucking FLYING HORSE

#Monsterdon

alright, Andromeda can stay. #monsterdon

I love it when princesses get backbones

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

It is funny how you can tell exactly which of the guys in the group had a horse-girl phase when they were younger by how they react to Pegasus.

#Monsterdon

Perilous princess, no pegasus with perseus

#Monsterdon

Jockstrap riders of Phoenicia. #monsterdon

Did they catch Pegasus at the same watering hole?

That horse never learns.

#monsterdon

Look, let me go back in there and face the peril!

It's too perilous!

#MontyPython #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon ⚔️⚡🔱🗿🛡️😱

Noooo not a Pega-net!!

we've searched lakeshore, and lake forest, and lake forest park! we cannot find

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

I think I'll count that as ✅ Triumphant Horn

#Monsterdon
