#Monsterdon the queen of filth! the queen of putrescence!

Ahh... she's visiting swamp bae? #monsterdon

Every time I see this woman she's walking etherially and there's a claymation vulture. In fact, if I had a nickel yada yada it's weird that it's happened twice. #Monsterdon

I so love the design of Calibos. I wanted to be him for Halloween. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

I think I prefer the way the original myth doesn't bother to explain how Perseus got his helmet, shield, sword, and horse.

#Monsterdon

so much stop animation, and all so fun

#monsterdon

Oh, a real beauty and the beast situation.

Now hear me out... #Monsterdon

Bucking as he flies. I’d be trying to knock him off too! #Monsterdon

@ramsey pretty sure that’s what they said. I think I was typing at the time. #Monsterdon

Andromeda, don’t go any farther! It’s a trap!

#Monsterdon

"...don't forget to leave five stars for your Vulture Uber"

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

@arisummerland @RamenCatholic fuck yesasus
#Monsterdon

This is all fun and adventurous and whatnot, but I do feel the need to point out that Perseus’s first real use of his invisibility helmet was to sneak into a strange woman’s bedroom to watch her sleep. He might not be a great guy. #monsterdon

oh no, it's the bog of eternal stench

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

I cannot get enough of that stop motion vulture!

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans1981

#Monsterdon ⚔️⚡🔱🗿🛡️😱

It'd be funny if Pegasus would bonk into Vultie

Sure, an alligator. #monsterdon

@nazokiyoubinbou i think he's kind of attractive now. definitely all i could see was the perm and chin back then #Monsterdon

meanwhile, on Dagobah... #monsterdon

What gets me is that this came out AFTER Star Wars. Like, we had an example of PERFECT special effects and they want "yeah, half frame rate is fine, no one will notice"

#Monsterdon

I keep waiting for someone to light the beacons of gondor #monsterdon

I feel we should have gotten our Andromeda riddle by now #monsterdon

Turns out she is a Shrek

#monsterdon

Ewwwww....Dagobah.

#monsterdon #clashofthetitans

My school teacher remembered the boobs and covered them up with a blue book (remember those?)

#monsterdon

@smp pegasus is neigh for night #monsterdon

@bstacey 😂

#Monsterdon

so, he tucks his legs under the pegasus wings?

that has _got_ to be a pain to dismount.

#monsterdon

Kiddo is unimpressed with the stop motion. Sigh. Children have taste [edited to remove 'no' by child]. #monsterdon

@jonny well *someone* in this #Monsterdon has to do the thinking and so far Perseus doesn't seem to be up to that task on his own

Why does the vulture steal her soul every night? Does she grow a new one in the morning?

#monsterdon

yee-haw 🤠
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Alright, pegasus, we can't let the vulture know we're following them. So fly casual.

SO a part of her soul is stolen every night? Does it come back in the morning? I don't understand what this vulture is accomplishing.
#Monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans

Once again the practical effects team creates a masterpiece, then the green screen team puts a little turd cherry on top.

#Monsterdon

Grabbing a snack while I wait for this horse flying scene to end.
#Monsterdon

Vulture and Pegasus are the same size #monsterdon #clashofthetitans

so what's the premise here? Stop-Motion Vluture is stealing Andromeda one piece at a time?

#Monsterdon

Because I don't understand what's going on with Andromeda and the vulture, I'm kind of wishing that exposition guard would return

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans1981

You got water in my invisibility helmet!
You got invisibility helmet in my water!

#monsterdon

@jammerb ooh yes

Cat of the Titans, featuring OwlKitty as Andromeda

#Monsterdon

PEGASUS PURSUIT. #monsterdon

@jonny Hey, if you lived in a derelict amphitheatre, you'd take the opportunity to get out once in a while too

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon ⚔️⚡🔱🗿🛡️😱

They do like it when you look at them and say, breathlessly "The most beautiful stallion in the world"

You think Andromeda is getting frequent flyer miles? #Monsterdon

Every night, Andromeda has the most heinous farts and wild dreams! #monsterdon

just like the gods of Olympus to go in on the idea of riding a stallion :blobfoxangrylaugh:

#Monsterdon

do you think the water in the helmet turns invisible?

#monsterdon

why is the old man still in the movie i thought he just lived at the coliseum #monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai @trixter Icarus and the wax wings?

#Monsterdon

Great, now the water is invisible.

#monsterdon #clashofthetitans

Does Andromeda have 9 lives? Is she a cat?

#monsterdon
#ClashOfTheTitans

He's thirsty because he's standing next to a thirst trap #monsterdon

I normally watch the movie Picture-In-Picture in a corner of the screen but I put it to fullscreen to enjoy stop-motion Pegasus.

The compositing/rotoing is better than Krull, I don't know what that says about either movie

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "the most beautiful stallion in the world!" "but thirsty!" 🤭

"...if you're thirsty, your flying horse is thirsty."

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Pegasus got cleaned up quite a bit between takes. Must've flown through a few rainclouds. #Monsterdon

Flying horses are better with flaming hooves. Less wind resistance than wings.
#Monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans

#Monsterdon

Here, I'll pee in this cup for both of you

#monsterdon

@b no less effective than the man Pegasus must outweigh by about 10 times, wut wut

#monsterdon

would you call it an.... ITALIAN stallion? #monsterdon

This is going to go to his head. Pretty soon, he’s going to think he can kill Medusa. #monsterdon

he's not the only thirsty one in this film

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

@srol Unlike the mortal characters and demigods in this film, you are the architect of your own suffering. #monsterdon

This scene did not need to be day for night. Why did they bother? #monsterdon

I wonder what Ammon's cat is doing now #monsterdon

Between the self-centered hero, strung together myths, and silly rotoscoping, I see why the claymation is so memorable. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon these optical mattes are _great_ for 1981

you mostly have switching between closeups on Harry and wide shots of the animated horse + animated Harry, with not too much time on any one cut to notice what's wrong with it ;)

modern CGI stuff would do one giant swooping long take and you'd rolf your lunch up

And the flying horse will enable re-spiriting Andromeda how?

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

@msh I can only assume there's a set of toggle switches that he configured offscreen

#Monsterdon

I hear a peacock crying again!

#Monsterdon

Well now what? #monsterdon

Pumaman, he flies like a moron 🎵#monsterdon

I was alive and aware of television in 1981, but I never saw this. Wow. Harryhausen is a master!

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans1981

Is this when Iron Man zooms out of a cloud bank?

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

quick, break into United Airlines commercial. #monsterdon

Confirming that we did watch this in high school English. I thought it might just be Argonauts but I remember Harry Hamlin's chin dimple and the Pegasus. We didn't have much to stand on complaining about special effects because the early 2000s were some of the worst for cgi. I'm more impressed now than as a teen who thought everything sucked
#Monsterdon

So.... Perseus likes it bareback.

And he likes them thirsty.

Good to know... good to know. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon ⚔️⚡🔱🗿🛡️😱

Perseus needs some training in horsemanship tbh that is *not* gonna build trust

especially impressive since this was before the invention of the stirrup

#monsterdon

There is some _very weirdly distinct_ surround in this mix

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Dude, did you not bring an apple or some sugar lumps to this horsenapping? #monsterdon

This invisibility helmet is kinda weird like his clothes go invisible but the rope doesn't like is there a distance limit or something? #Monsterdon

Very weird to just watch while sleeping spirit girl gets caged by giant magic vulture?? #monsterdon

He’s flying so high he’s got a Star Trekian theme.

#Monsterdon

Nice flex #monsterdon

Let's ride - into the TriStar company logo!

#Monsterdon 💥 #ClashOfTheTitans1981

And he misses.

#monsterdon #clashoftitans

That’s 45 year old movie MAGIC!

#Monsterdon

@moira @Taweret Yeah, and we're still teaching it to children #monsterdon

A little branch is going to stop a flying horse?

#monsterdon

"Now press A to activate and jump on his back!"

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

#Monsterdon oh yeah, tie him off to some driftwood. That'll hold 'im.

I hope it flies up in the air and wrecking balls him into that cliff back there. #monsterdon

Perseus really needs a chin strap for that helmet #Monsterdon

Harryhausen really was the best #monsterdon

when the camera can mysteriously only focus on the face or get a shot from waaaay the far back #monsterdon

@SnoopJ To be fair, Perseus's hair is like an entire 'nother head on his head. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans
