@trixter It’s true. Watching the bluray may be the most illuminatingly disappointing way to experience this. #monsterdon

@Ayyyydrew Nope. Completely unnecessary.

#Monsterdon

is it really an 80s movie without some booby?

#monsterdon

So I guess gods grow up fast?
#Monsterdon

Meanwhile, back on the soundstage...

#Monsterdon

@3janeTA Olympus: now under new management! Talk to our new friendlier customer service reps!

#Monsterdon

@jonny precision lightning drone strike

#Monsterdon

Our ship has come in #monsterdon

so if he could just kill the guy using voodoo did zeus really have to have the whole town fucked? 🥴

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon correction: two _attempted_ murders

You've gotta love the level of composition and practical effects in this movie. Beats CGI for sure!

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

#Monsterdon ⚔️⚡🔱🗿🛡️😱

that toga was *this close* to too short phew

#Monsterdon naked island!

#Monsterdon i like how the clay figurine turns to dust when the king dies

proper sympathetic magic :D

@jonny Or apparently just crush a clay figure...

#Monsterdon

We have shorts under the toga!

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

The worst thing is all that damage to the structures isn't covered by insurance, as a bona fide Act of God #monsterdon

it was clean springfield, now it's _dusty_ spri

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Now That's What I Call Compositing

(yes I'm reusing this joke. I'll reuse it until the compositing isn't shit)

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh shit, I forgot! Wait for me Harry Hamlin and Bubo!

How old was Roland Emmerich when this film released? I think I'm piecing something together. #Monsterdon

usually you don't get this disaster until the climax of a movie #monsterdon

BRB -- Bathroom break suddenly needed!

#Monsterdon

Punishing 100,000 people for the actions of one man.

Yep, ok. That's the Zeus we all know.

#Monsterdon

toilets: flushed
speakers: fucking clipped

#monsterdon

wouldn't releasing the Kraken be Poseidon's call?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon ⚔️⚡🔱🗿🛡️😱

That donkey was also very believable as an ancient donkey

You think the flood is bad, just wait for the atomic breath

#Monsterdon

Makes you wonder why Zeus went to all the trouble of voodoo-smiting that one guy first

#Monsterdon

I crush you, I wetten your cities... #monsterdon

At this point I wonder if my parents had second thoughts about bringing their 10 year old to this. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

lots of cleavage shown in this scene #monsterdon

when your actual stairs look like pixel art, a case study in lighting

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

This is a really lengthy and roundabout roto-rooter add.

#monsterdon #clashoftitans

@jmelesky This seems like a movie that's going to be done no favors by a high-res remaster.

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Is that the Kraken and if so where are the tentacles? #Monsterdon

I was today years old when I found out source of the #nethack kraken

#monsterdon

Is this a Japanese version of the Greek myths?

#Monsterdon

It's actually enjoyable watching everyone move at 2.0 speed.
Oooooooo Monster!
#Monsterdon

@aburka Haven't there been a couple where the monster shows up in like 20 seconds? It's not common though, this is definitely better than average

#Monsterdon

@aburka We've had films which had (a) monster before the opening credits #monsterdon

oh damn it's Shape of Water's Great Grandpa

#monsterdon

You know, we really do need to do more sympathetic magic with clay figurines and city state leaders...

#monsterdon #clashoftitans

C'mon, Pantheon, You're lagging behind.

Let's get Kraken. #Monsterdon

Alas poor Argos! Your ruler was shit. Beware.

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

gnarly waves, dude! surf's up! #monsterdon

a kRAKEN good time #monsterdon

Let's get Kraken!
#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

#Monsterdon Look! Burgess Meredith!

Wait, that's not a kraken. The kraken is supposed to be-- oh, bah, nevermind. Whatever.

#Monsterdon

"hey argos what's crackin ha ha ha just a joke i like to make"

#monsterdon

CLAYMATION! ATTACKS! #monsterdon

Kraken's been workin' on those abs. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

yesss the kraken is the Creature from the Black Lagoon, let's throw all the things in! (complimentary)

#monsterdon

Oh crap. Late for #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

#monsterdon

and poseidon drowns.. THE END

Oh, wow, that distance shot of Poseidon walking to the underground door has extreme “1970s Doctor Who production value” energy. #monsterdon

9 minutes to monster. A #monsterdon record?

KRAKEN SMASH

#Monsterdon

OW MY BACK #monsterdon

I love the sea monster! #BingoSquare

#monsterdon
#ClashOfTheTitans

mixed mythologies ftw!

Btw please mute me if needed, I’m watching Clash of the Titans on #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon get crackin'

Zeus thinks he's Ray Harryhausen. He's not wrong #monsterdon

*SQUISH* #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Oh wait, wasn't Danae the Zeus appears as a shower of gold to impregnate her one? No wonder he wants Perseus to live, that's a pretty cool trick, gotta have the baby for proof!

#Monsterdon

OW MY STYROFOAM

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

MONSTER! Yesss!

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans1981

Such … compositing. So wow. #monsterdon

Voodoo Zeus. #monsterdon

Zeus is a Warhammer guy apparently #monsterdon

Voodoo in ancient Greece!

#Monsterdon

I just don't know what a whole suite of hockey players are gonna do against a whole city tho'

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

No Zeus, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again

#monsterdon

Aphrodite obviously cast as a blonde.

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Zeus are you playing with your dolls again? #monsterdon

Kraken deez nutz
#monsterdon

"...this looks like one crackin' storm brewing!"

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Damn, the music in this is so great.

#Monsterdon

I'm gonna go play with my dolls and my model train now. -- Zeus

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans1981

#TeamKraken

#Monsterdon

Struggling to think of good movies that show Greek mythology; are there many even?

#monsterdon

Kind of a jerkass thing to wipe out all the people there - they didn't elect their king or anything #Monsterdon

R-r-r-reLEASE!!! The KRAKEN!

#Monsterdon

that's a lot of divine descendants and heroes #monsterdon. Collect them all

@kshernandez fuck yeah we are.

KRAKEN KRAKEN KRAKEN
#Monsterdon

Is this an underwater scene? #monsterdon

Great loungewear! 10/10
#Monsterdon

Is this Krypton or Olympus? Sure feels like superman.

#monsterdon

Yes, I thought it was "release," too. 🤔

#Monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

💥 CLASH OF THE TRIVIA 💥

Despite the title, no Greek mythology Titans appear in this film.

The Kraken, who everyone in the audience always wants released, is from Scandinavian mythology.

#ClashOfTheTitans1981

#Monsterdon ⚔️⚡🔱🗿🛡️😱

I would like Zeus' animal statuary to you think he'd smite me?

Release the Kraken already
#monsterdon

@brooke To be fair, at least one of them thinks murder is bad

The others seemed more ambivalent

#Monsterdon

Transformed himself into a shower of gold hits a bit different now (very Beavis)

#monsterdon

"Visited her and *loved her*, if you know what I mean." *waggles eyebrows*

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Zeus, god-tier philanderer. #monsterdon

Angry Zeus is way less compelling than wantonly horny Zeus, although it's hard to fathom which might have harmed more mortals. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon this movie only needs to be known for the line “Let loose the Kraken“ and it would be enough.
