#ClashOfTheTitans shows us that it's okay to watch a decent movie for #Monsterdon.

The slow pace of the creepy scenes worked great. The combat with Medusa was especially taut. But the whole movie was that slow, even in exposition scenes. It seemed to take forever for Perseus to get his gear together. And the movie came to a dead halt every time we visited Zeus's executive suite.

It was lovely to see so much Harryhausen stop motion. The giant scorpions were great. Bubo the Owl was very cute. But I think some things could have been a puppet (Charon), or a just a guy in heavy makeup and appliances (Calibos).

Finally, I applaud all the big name actors for taking the material seriously and giving us their best, with only a wee bit of scenery chewing.

Thanks everyone for selecting this, and thanks @Taweret for hosting!

@jadebees well, you know, a bunch of 'em burnt out already

cheap ancient greek light bulbs just don't last

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

@Terencio @jmjm @ohiofi lol okay I could get behind a confused Perseus meme template

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonMemes

@diazona @SnoopJ @jmjm @ohiofi Yay-ti’s nipple is closing the gap.

#Monsterdon

@diazona Oh good to know

He keeps the pegasus, doesn't he

#Monsterdon

And another #monsterdon comes to an end.

Gods were petty, heroes were not particularly adept, and Greek mythology was paraphrased.

Till next time!

Thank you all who participated, and as always thanks to @Taweret for hosting.

That's a wrap! Thanks as always to @Taweret for setting things in motion!

This poet hasn’t once uttered one line of poetry during the entire film.

#Monsterdon

@log oh yeah dude I always come out for Laser Zeus

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

"And what if those heroes made Social Networks and watched bad movies together!?!" #monsterdon

and the Kraken got fucked off into the sea

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

the Kraken cracked

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

I'm confused about just how Medusa's head works, Perseus can look at it after she is dead but it still works on the kraken?

#Monsterdon

Chekhov’s gorgon head #monsterdon

*Perseus struggles with the knot he tied in his magical red cloak to contain the vileness of Medusa's head concealed within*

Just cut it! Cut it! Cut the knot!

oh no wait, different myth, sorry

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

The kraken: also great. Want to see it fight godzilla

#Monsterdon

HOW IS THAT A KRAKEN 😠

THAT IS A HUMANOID, A MONSTER FROM THE BLACK LAGOON...SEA!!

#Monsterdon

Godzilla! Er, Kraken! #monsterdon

this krakenhonk could have been an email

#monsterdon

I remember this sequence SO SO MUCH and I would replay it using the head of an old doll with my friends #monsterdon #clashofthetitans

#monsterdon Riiiicollllaaaaaa!

well look what the Kraken dragged in. #monsterdon

bubo is IP68-rated

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Finally, side-prick gets the skewer. See ya, wrinkly jerkface. LOL. Poor flying horses…

well now you've done it, Perseus, you've made all the OTHER gods mad. #monsterdon

@forestine HAHAHAHAH YES

#Monsterdon

Go on, turn the sun to stone

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

i wonder how calibos is doing

#monsterdon

Perseus! Use bombs wisely! Do a barrel roll!

#monsterdon

The moment I've been waiting for. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

This week's #Monsterdon pick (which I'm not watching tonight) is a movie I remember seeing in the theatre as a child? I didn't understand it at all at the time and was kind of freaked out by it then, so I've never really given it another try.

Per Wikipedia: The pupper's name was Dioskilos. #RIPDioskilos #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Guy has a Pink Floyd pig on his shield. What a boss

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe If I’ve learned anything, it’s that the gods punish people by deforming them, and then others fear them and try to kill them.

Everyone is awful.

#Monsterdon

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

after Percy Jackson, i now expect Rosario Dawson, at the other end of the river with her 3-heades dog, screaming ―in her most nuyorican accent―, at her hipster god husband of the underworld

#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

Oh wow, Andromeda gets agency!

#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.

I want to find someone who loves me like Ray Harryhausen loved a tail swish.

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

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
