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.

Brazilian TV had censored the boobs & ass back then! #monsterdon

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

A+ wanton destruction

#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

That french fry stealing rat bird sure is getting a lot of screen time in these opening credits though, not sure what that's all about

#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"

@r343l

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

Followed by Clash of the Titans 2-Electric Boogaloo. Thanks #monsterdon gang. Take care. See ya soon.

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

#monsterdon Little sweet Bubo actually frikken tries! HE IS THE ONLY ONE. That's why Bubo is the hero of the tale. Against insane odds, HE FRIKKEN GAVE IT A SHOT!

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.

#monsterdon

Bingo'ed a while ago, forgot to post #monsterdon

#monsterdon Finally, someone is going to take Delta Airlines to the woodshed for a good solid beating! Detroit never cheered so loud.

and with that I actually have bingo

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

#monsterdon Perseus lost his stupid helmet in a swamp, but his fancy little mechanical owl just walks out of the river, thank you very much. Haphestus makes the best supertoys. They last *all* summer long!

Yayyyyy R2-D2!

I mean Bubo!

#Monsterdon

Why is Perseus crawling on the ground after drinking water? He seemed fine just a moment ago.

#Monsterdon

Best actor in the film, guard guy was killed by a scorp

#monsterdon

Giving Medusa a rattlesnake tail was just 💋🤌. Ray was a genius.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Medusas blood is Pomodoro sauce. It's really quite good, lots of basil, very tasty.

And now he doesn't even have the shield anymore.

Seriously, this guy is a total doof.

#Monsterdon

well, it's good the sword has a track record of cutting through ANYTHING. #monsterdon

Headless screaming will never not be hilarious.

#Monsterdon

Props to the movie, this is genuinely a tense scene.

Also, the snake lady is hot.

#monsterdon #clashofthetitans

Personally, I think Medusa was very smart to complement her gaze attack with arrows. You need to have some way of attacking enemies with their backs turned to you. #Monsterdon

How is the shield staying up like that?

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

#monsterdon Medusa was the original classic twerker. Look at that rattle go!

Is Medusa a lamia in this one? And an archer?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon ⚔️⚡🔱🗿🛡️😱

OK I really like Medusa

This part scared the utter crap out of me as a kid. I don't think I breathed during the entire scene. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

yeah, good plan when fighting a two-headed dog wofl thing, back up and lift your shield, did your mother have any children that lived?

#monsterdon

Stop-motion double dog with glowing eyes must be protected at all costs

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Oops, killed some statuary... my bad. Cleanup on Aisle Five!

#monsterdon Just remember folks, this isn't Cerberus, this is apparently Dioskilos.

Perseus finds The Ghost of Christmases Yet to Come!

#monsterdon

This Charon seems very Grim Reaper inspired. Which, okay, I guess the ideas are somewhat related.

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

#monsterdon Yeah yeah yeah, I was on my way already. Stupid dead-people fog. It’s everywhere man, and it gets into everything. I smell like a frikken Subway Sandwich Shop, like all the time. Got a coin? Yup... okay, fare paid, lets push off. Salmonella ain't no joke, yo.

hey, is that Death, Destroyer of Worlds? #monsterdon

@apLundell Nah, it still flows. The drops might be kind of large though? Probably have to calibrate it differently? Interesting problem anyway, I could see writing some sort of chemistry exam question about this (it's a good thing no one lets me do that any more...).

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The river Styx. I live next to a similar river, Kalamazoo River. Except it isn't poisoned by the dead, paper plants. PFAS. Everywhere. Splooshing out of manhole covers. Gushey…

shit there he goes tootin'

#Monsterdon

I want Perseus and the guard to end up together

#monsterdon

The Graea are fairly Scottish sounding for ancient Greece. #Monsterdon

Naruto could defeat the kraken

#Monsterdon

I hate Greek gods

#monsterdon

@apLundell

#Monsterdon

"But my Lord...! Their faces are now melted as if by acidic Clay-Doh..."

Perseus, you're also a dick. #monsterdon

The Stygian Witches are definitely a precursor of Granny in the Addams Family movie.

#Monsterdon

Witches just ponderin' with their one orb

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The chorizo can sometimes come back on you. Watch out... this mole will knock your socks off!

Go for the eye, Bubo!

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

#monsterdon “Us second-string bit players that push plot have to stay together little brass flappy buddy…”

I can't help but see Burgess Meredith as Mickey in Rocky. And so far he's playing the same role for Perseus. I expect him to tell Harry Hamlin to use the left hook at any moment.

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Bubo is like R2D2, so vulgar they had to bleep all of his dialog.

#Monsterdon

If you think this looks cheesy and obvious on a computer screen, you should see it in 35 mm.....#monsterdon

Starting up #monsterdon a little late again tonight after a wee sunset cruise. I'm looking forward to seeing #ClashOfTheTitans again. It was one of my favorites when I was younger and I now realize it has been ages and ages since I saw it last.

#monsterdon Bubo always reminds of Bit in Tron. YES, NO, YES! NO NO NO!!! YES!!!

@Louisa Me too, I was that annoying kid who was all "THIS IS NOT HOW THE MYTHOLOGY GOES" and got kicked out of class for ranting about it, haha

#monsterdon

R2D2 inspired?

#monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

💥 CLASH OF THE TRIVIA 💥

It is usually understood that Bubo the owl was added to take advantage of the popularity of R2D2, but Ray Harryhausen said that the owl was planned before Star Wars was released.

Argue about it at your next cocktail party.

roboutt owl. #monsterdon

Bubo bubo is the latin name of the Eurasian eagle-owl! Its a fact!

#monsterdon #ThirtyHelensAgree

A Stygian Witch In Time Saves Nine

#monsterdon

You could’ve just flown away… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Here we go for the Stygian Witches... the original trio of black-n-decker-pecker-wreckers.

"Who are these women?"

A polycule.
