Did henchmen just naturally sprout in ancient Greece? Seems like Perseus can't go anywhere without henchmen just ... being there

#Monsterdon

WHOO'S A GOOD PUPPY WHOOOOOOO IS IT?!

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

"Can you make change for 20 Yugoslavian pfennings?"

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Please let Michael Palin show up

#monsterdon

Who’s on #TeamMedusa? Come on! I’m rooting for Medusa. Perseus is a jackass.

#Monsterdon

Ah, my stygian witches. #monsterdon

@forestine
I'm just reporting what Ray said. Production planning did start years earlier. Could be true.

#Monsterdon 💥 #ClashOfTheTitans1981

Isn't Bubo what they called the sores you get with plague? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Bubo! Like all good mechanical owls, he's going to eventually puke up the remote control. Just wait for it.

#monsterdon
"It's flying straight for us!"

SHOOT IT!

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

after all these years, Calibos is still creepy

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

"Too Perilous For a Princess" is the third studio album from The Stygian Witches

#monsterdon

I do enjoy these Startrekian versions of ancient Greek garb and headwear.

#Monsterdon

Doing math in my head...so Pegasus can fly at 24 miles per hour? That's not all that fast really... #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

We have reached the slow part of the film.

#Monsterdon

"I said there is no way known to man... have you tried asking Pegasus? How about those frogs?"

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I don't think the Kraken really cares about purity or virginity. He's mostly just kinda into it for the yummo, really.

Oh god the kraken AGAIN? cmon get an imagination

#Monsterdon

"...I spared his life on one condition. That he lend me a hand."

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

"Sure I know him he's be creeping into my bedroom for a week"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Argos was wiped out, you're prince of nowhere my fine sweet stupid man.

#monsterdon Invisible heroes never even try to manage the foot-step issue.

Don't walk straight through sand, idiot!

It's like Phantom of the Opera if Erik did riddles instead of close-up magic. #monsterdon

Those are very cute night jammies, just sayin

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Vulture like, "Eh, it's a living ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" #Monsterdon

Wait, so she goes in the cage every night? Despite all her rage? in this economy? #monsterdon

Does the water become invisible in the helmet? #monsterdon

Invisibility To-Do List:
✅ Bedroom peeping
✅ Horse torture
⚫️ Throne stuff

#monsterdon

Epic looking-concerned-while-sitting-still action

#Monsterdon

How special is this horse really if it can be foiled by rope. #monsterdon

The horse really has no interest in drinking that filthy stank water. #monsterdon

Look! It's BOB PEGASUS!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The best way to seduce a princess is to sneak into her bed chamber. This is well known by all heroes.

I see nothing! NOTH-ZING!

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Hey Perseus maybe try NOT being a creep

#Monsterdon

Sudden giant vulture #monsterdon

#monsterdon

@ramsey doesn't he eat or fuck like more than half of them, i think he is mostly just taking care of this kid because it pisses off the other woman god #monsterdon

"These are strange times, my friend."

Yeah yeah, thanks Gandalf. #Monsterdon

He shouldn’t wear the helmet too much, lest the Dark Lord discover his whereabouts.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I see we've found the Romulan Cloaking device.

Perseus doesn't seem like the brightest bulb in the box

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Omg a talking shield! #monsterdon #clashofthetitans

talking shield with an annoying voice

#monsterdon

Athena: Pop quiz hot shot, is this the same owl or a different one than last time? #monsterdon

#monsterdon The subtext is that Ammon is a queer theater-kid surrounded by pussy and doesn't care. Merow…

That's his sword?

...Well, size isn't everything. #Monsterdon

Gonna tell my kids this is Obi-wan and Luke #monsterdon

stop throwing kitties!

#monsterdon

"It was my mother's last wish that I restore her home."

Yeah, mom asks me to take the trash out a lot too. #Monsterdon

Okay, but as a playwright you're allowed to be dramatic for the hell of it.

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

"I am a poet and a playwright. The goofy masks are just for fun"

#Monsterdon

Perseus, wake up! Your blow-wave is in danger! #Monsterdon

Some of these effects are legit super fun

#Monsterdon

McGonigal is giving us zero enthusiasm in her pleas.

But she can still scheme.

#Monsterdon

@strangefour #monsterdon

yeah but he's a god. He can just snap his fingers and his figurines become new-in-box again.

Joppa == Jaffa = now part of Tel Aviv.

Calipho, won't you please do something?

#monsterdon

Maggs I'm gifting your son to Ray Harryhausen. Deal with it

#monsterdon

Zeus is just a poor super powerful god in the spectrum with his weird terracotta toy special interest #monsterdon #clashofthetitans

I wish I had the energy for #monsterdon but I did pride stuff instead. Wasn't that much but it doesn't take much at this age.

No worries, Argos, Dick Cheney's Halliburton is standing by the rebuild everything. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Seriphos!

'Tis a silly place.

Shhh!

#monsterdon

So…the krakken is the “last of the Titans?”

This will be a short film.

#Monsterdon

GOJIRA #monsterdon

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

LOOSE THE KRAKEN!!

#Monsterdon

LET LOOSE THE KRRRRRAKEN #monsterdon

Ok I had my vista shot and transformation scene.

I might la la la la la and start a crochet project thru this b.s. court scene...

#monsterdon #clashofthetitans1981

I’m doing a family group watch on a porch from a laptop. I may not be my usual prolific self for this instance of #monsterdon

#monsterdon Laurence Olivier has some of the best lines as Zeus. A tired old fuddy Zeus... full of scene chewing glower. God I'm here for it!

...This introduction music is awfully jaunty accompaniment for a hard-hearted mother/child Murder By Sea™. Love the sweeping aerial shots though.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Actually this is pretty unusual for films with a Woman In A Box -- we actually get to see her getting put inside! #Monsterdon

"Hey Zeus, watch THIS!" #Monsterdon

Wrapped up a podcast just in time for #monsterdon and y'all I have not seen this movie before!

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Father of the year

#Monsterdon

@culturednyc that's how I got sucked in, you know. At first, I just enjoyed watching the posts on my timeline. Then, I clicked the hashtag and started asking questions. Now, I need my weekly fix. #Monsterdon

"''oo are you?"
"I am Zeus, King of the Gods."
"I didn't know gods had a King. I thought gods were an autonomous collective"
"I am Zeus, King of the Gods."
"I didn't vote for you."
"You don't vote for kings."
"Well, 'ow did you become king, then?"

"strange men flying on horses, turning monsters into stone, is no basis for a system of government"

GORGON BAG

#Monsterdon

Oo00oooo (Rubs hands together)

I see there's a playlist building in my feed for me to enjoy now that #Monsterdon is over....

This place ages well.

.........yeah well I'd like to see Perseus scoop a litterbox because that's my current quest.

NO ONE LOOKS HANDSOME SCOOPING CATSH🙀T

#monsterdon

That was a movie!

Once again, thank you @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, and everyone else for making it awesome!

Cheers!

#Monsterdon

Happy what-would-have-been-your-105th birthday, Ray Harryhausen.

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting an excellent #Monsterdon; @Cherizilla for the bingo, @miru for the stream, @JoeWynne for the trivia, and all of you for being such witty commentators.

Yes, everybody's favorite mythological creature, the vulture.

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

AS THEMSELVES! #monsterdon

now, if I remember correctly, this outro firmly places the timeline for this story as more recent than sharks. #monsterdon

and so the kraken sorta fucked off into the sea I guess

ty for joining, everyone!!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "and Perseus and Andromeda got to lose their virginities" 🎉

#monsterdon There is sufficient cowardice, sloth, and mendacity down there on Earth, to last forever! -- Yeah, that line. That's THE line…

Kraken's cool and all, but we all know it's FLYING HONSE that gets the crowd roaring. #monsterdon

This no sense. How horse fuck off out of the sea? #monsterdon

contemplating the disastrous implications of acquiring the Medusa head as a form of mobile artillery

like, this will completely destroy the power balance in the region, righ—ah, no he's just gone and thrown it in the sea.

#Monsterdon

@L1vY@mstdn.social Greek mythology is a full send.

#Monsterdon

is Owltoo Deetoo going to annoy-o-tron the Kraken to death? #monsterdon

#monsterdon Just gonna skip the whole part where the Kraken just drags prong over Poseidon's forehead huh?

@moira as a bisexual, I support equal opportunity exploitation of the actors' bodies. #Monsterdon

This is a good movie to watch around the summer solstice.

#Monsterdon

Medusa: By the gods, every dumbass hero comes in here trying to kill me. You bet I learned how to wield a bow.

#Monsterdon

Very well. Release the... sigh kraken.

It's just no fun to say it anymore.
