@davesdogmaggie @moira @JoeWynne @srol This will be our moment of Zen for all of 2025. Iβm calling it now.
so we have plenty of time to evacuate. cool
I give Andromeda... the beautiful of all prizes.... A NEW CAR!!!!!!!
He has a whole βdonβt taze me, broβ look on his face. #monsterdon
OMG the face overlay sent me. I'm in the mail, no tracking number. #Monsterdon
justice for a whinyboi
goddamn this guy knows how to woo a girl
Ancient Greek dating app
#monsterdon Calibos figured it out, didn't take too long either. Not a slouch. Also, keeps the plot chugging along. Plus now, we get wet hot swamp sex. With sexytime maiming, value added.
Too bad the gods didn't gift him with The Balloon of Weightlessness.
#Monsterdon andromeda's new suitors must first defeat her seven evil exes
As a child I was disturbed by Calibos's full body pubes
does pegasus gallop in the air because he has to? or is it just out of habit? #monsterdon #scheduledMonsterdon
@ramsey He'd been in 2 films, a made for tv movie and 3 episodes of something called "Studs Lonigan". Let's cast him as the lead in this super expensive summer blockbuster. #monsterdon
Another film demonstrating why we have disclaimers about not harming animals in films, now. #Monsterdon
Does anyone understand why Pegasus even appeared randomly near Perseus?
okay Pegasus. do a barrel roll. you know you want to. #monsterdon
Step 1: Perseus becomes a brony. #monsterdon
TriStar Motion Pictures presents: your ride
Tri star pictures! #monsterdon
I guess I'll just - hang out in this cage????
#monsterdon Andromeda has the most animated farts of any young princess.
Stop-Motion Thing has arrived
#Monsterdon why couldn't the vulture just FLY him to mordor
Brown-skinned people are all but missing from this population, odd
Man, watching this movie without censored scenes is so different #monsterdon
Maybe you shouldn't hold the sword by the sharp part, Gramps.
YOUR SWORD, DUMBSHIT
loving the himbo energy from Perseus, head empty, no thoughts
Invisibility helmet. Of course, all he can think of is visiting the ladies dorm. #monsterdon
Zeus fading in and out, bad sound, can't really see him... Old people *never* understand how to use Zoom -_-; #Monsterdon
Rush order from Hephestus. Also, is the sword made from orichalcum?
oh god a talking shield can we not
Yeah, see you can tell Perseus is a nepo baby because he gets all the 5-star equipment on his first roll -_- #Monsterdon
βOnce, he tried to ravish me disguised as a cuttlefish.β
βDid he succeed?β
βNo. I simply turned myself into a shark.β
I love Maggie Smith!
USA wins 4-3 on spot kicks. Will play Guatamala on Wednesday in the semi's. #monsterdon
The goddesses complaining about how much Zeus gets around is great.
Box of kittens! #monsterdon
@wohali Heβs a Jim Morrison wannabe.
"CALL NO MAN HAPPY WHO IS NOT DEAD" I've been proclaiming that all week. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans
CAT. #monsterdon

π₯ CLASH OF THE TRIVIA π₯
Burgess Meredith was add to the cast to balance out the British Shakesperean actors for the American audience.
Dude goes to sleep and wakes up thousands of miles away because the gods are assholes.
Also he is wearing his ugliest underwear.
#Monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans
Home of Joppa the Hut.
ahhh the masks of ancient theatre β€οΈ
"I don't remember calling this Uber to this place"
#monsterdon I half wonder if the clay figurines actually grew and changed or if it was just a camera trickβ¦
"Perseus, grown into a young man."
It's a collector's model. #Monsterdon
Riding horse⦠owww, my nuts, my nuts! #monsterdon
Everybody has a little terra-cotta avatar, huh
Surprise titty
#monsterdon Why does the Titan just go back home. I mean, he was free... he could have just gnawed down on Poseidon. Fishsticks and Custard.
Great flood destruction scenes!
Decent optical matteing for 1981.
And we have monster nipple! Good job. #Monsterdon
I love Zeus's throne. It's so shiny and 70s.
I can't tell if everything is more fuzzy because of this being an old movie, or if the upload is grainy, or if there is too much vaseline on the camera.
#Monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans
Zeus, first holder of the Death Note. #Monsterdon
That guys real passionate about his little clay figurines... #monsterdon
Oh, Zeus is into golden showers, huh #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Maybe not the last of the Titans but... uh... come on Zeus. Surely this isn't a plot hole?
At least it's recognized as an egregious crime.
That's right. Nothing wipes out a crime of blood.
RELEASE THE KRAKEN
@bunnyhero The Penguin in Batman and Robin is where you go with Burgess Meredith? Dude. #monsterdon #EatLighteningCrapThunder
NBD, just standing around holding my owl
Saints be praised. It's a titanic clash in technicolor.
#Monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans
Olympus is a no-ground level. I hate those -_-; #Monsterdon
Let the miniatures begin! #monsterdon
Burgess Meredith, of the backwards-ass name π€¨
I'm going into this blind and it would be hilarious if Maggie Smith played Athena
Whoa hey, Maggie Smith is in this? #monsterdon
Or at least the baby does. I haven't seen this in a million years.
#monsterdon Johnathan Livingston Seagull!
I like how this movie shows the vulnerability of the hero, requiring help to climb the cliff. #Monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans1981
@r343l I mean, really. The gods gave him all sorts of wondrous tools, and heβs got butterfingers.
What did they do with Medusa's head?
"I'll just put this head of Medusa into this old Lost Ark of the Covenant, I'm sure it will all work out." #Monsterdon
@diazona One of the things that surprised me was, that there wasn't any sword-vs-sword fighting. It was all vs monsters, bows, and whips.
(Also, huh, the spears never actually got used)
@aburka Don't forget how every significant character must deliver a line along the lines of "I, [PERSON NAME] of [PLACE], [ROLE IN MYTHOLOGY] decree..."
#monsterdon
Clash of the Titans 1981 was every bit as epic as I remember it. I've not watched this movie in a very long time.
Thanks for a wonderful evening everyone on #Monsterdon, and thank you @Taweret for hosting! See you next week!
That film holds up quite well. Greece is right in there with Turkiye, the Middle East, North Africa... and they definitely knew how to sail the Mediterranean. Still nothing but lily white actors. Surprising nobody, I'm sure, but worth noting. #Monsterdon
@trixter There appears to be a lot of GenX representation in #monsterdon. I wasn't old enough to see it in theatres, but I definitely caught it on cable.
#monsterdon
Hm, the author was married to Maggie Smith.
I'm not saying that someone of Maggie Smith's ability needed a connection, it's just an interesting detail.
Typical nepo-mortal, never could have done it without gifts from his divine daddy
The moral of the story is that you can produce a big budget film set in Ancient Greece but do all the location shots in Spain, Italy, and Malta and nobody will be unhappy with that except for the Greeks #monsterdon
Well, that was fun! I never actually properly watched that movie somehow, despite being the right age. Goodnight #monsterdon, and thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
Clash of the Titans: actually a non-terrible movie despite how badly my brain wants to insist otherwise
Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting! Can't wait for next week! (July 4 weekend, I hope we do something with explosions)
good clay stare ya'll maybe next week
voting tomorrow~
#Rifftrax did the remake from a few years ago. Maybe I should watch it next #Monsterdon
Y'know, for a two-hour, that wasn't a bad monsterdon film after all. I was worried about the length but for the most part, it moved along
Not exactly bingo
Bubo is played byβ¦ Bubo! π #Monsterdon
You know, Perseus, killing Poseidon's pets while you are standing in the sea is not smart...
See! Even the credits don't list any Titans. Just stop motion mythologicals.
#Monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans
@Taweret thank you!

The thing about Clash of the Titans is that it's got the PERFECT ratio of People Talking to Harryhausen Beasts -- More Beasts, Less Talking
This was a ton of fun, so glad I could share my first time with all of you. The amount of people involved really made it special. Much love for y'all and much love for this wonderful little movie. Hopefully I'll be back next week for whatever we're seeing. #Monsterdon
Those are some fun end credits
And they fucked off intoβ¦
Not yet.
And they fucked off intoβ¦
Wait for it.
And they fucked off intoβ¦
JFC!
The movie ends as the camera fucks off into space (which is an ocean)
You could cut 30 minutes out of this movie without breaking a sweat. Great VFX, though.
So ends another #Monsterdon masterpiece, #ClashoftheTitans1981. Our thanks to @Taweret for hosting and to all you wonderful folks who joined us. And remember #Monsterdoners: Release the Kraken!
