lagoon monster didn't give two fucks at the beginning when he attacked the guys in the tent when they had a fire out front, why is it so scared of the little lamps π₯΄

I don't understand what just happened
HOLY FUCK THEY LIT HIM UP BUT GOOD!
#Monsterdon the creature's slow kinda deliberate movement combined with the gasping mouth make it super creepy .
Also⦠did they set someone in a rubber suit on fire? Holy shit!
Creature cannot smell Kay as she changes he clothing every 5 mins. The lads can be tasted though, downwind.
#Monsterdon
leave the monster alone!

Scientists don't make very good guards
#monsterdon
Doing pull ups. Working those lats.
The Creature is not going to miss a day of its CrossFit routine
the gillman already sick of this Exposition Conversation
Damn, but this woman has a lot of clothes. Did she bring a steamer truck full? Cripes! #Monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954
it's challenging to crate train a creature
"And by air I mean tobacco smoke" #monsterdon
Shape of Water would be a good double feature
#monsterdon
@flowerpot @allanb Iβm 46, and I still donβt have that much protective chest hair.
Why is the monster sleuth footed but the tracks look pigeon toed? #monsterdon
I'm glad l took off my pants
#monsterdon Bingo!!!
Boy they really raided the sound effects library, didn't they?
@allanb I'll allow it.
#Monsterdon
@Lazarou If he would just listen to David they could get two papers out of this, not just one #monsterdon
because she said "No!" of course...
Bingo! #Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo
Interesting how the monster has flipper feet and claw hands
All this tension. Maybe the male leads just need to bone. #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

TRIVIA FROM THE BLACK LAGOON
The fight scene with the knife was practiced for two days. Still, during filiming, the Gill-man missed grabbing the knife and it jabbed the mask. No injuries.
"How is he?"
"He's dead."
"Hmmm. Pretty bad."
#monsterdon
βStop looking at me!
oh please, she fell over immediately, pathetic...
Shining a bright spotlight at the monster is just plain rude! #Monsterdon
That's right, throw yourself on him armed with nothing but a stick
Gillman uses Choke Slam. It's super effective.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon
Gill-Man uses Vulcan neck pinch!
Oh, the suit's got moving gills! Oh excellent job :D #Monsterdon
I was hoping this would be a total lair with like a library of merbooks and candelabras
@flowerpot does a bit of protective chest hair count?
I can't get over how good the suit looks.
Ah, typical monsterdon movie, I miss a "crucial" 15 minutes in the middle thanks to the real monster* and can still follow the "plot" when I return.
*(whatever liquefied in my green waste bin in the kitchen overnight, attracting a veritable hoard of drosophila)
@OldRustBucket Catching shade from Robin of all people. #monsterdon
Now the gill-Man is walking just fine (mostly) again.
You know, you could say something before you grab your friend from behind
@allanb Not even a shirt to protect from getting scratched.
#Monsterdon
By all means go into a poorly lit gillman's lair. #Monsterdon
All standing still on the boat as if they're about to break out in a musical number
"I'm going to go take a look underwater in the dark without a light. You wait here"
l mean, during WWll. I was saying he was in comabt in the Pacific and loved it.
Very improbable phylogenetically, but yeah.
I'm sure this inspired both Silurians and Sea Devils in Doctor Who.
[EDIT: wrong word, oops]
Gillman being drugged and somewhat stunned by a searchlight feels plausible.
Now we've also had two mentions of life on other worlds? Which I'm completely confused by since they've all but said that the creature is just a fish that evolved two arms and two legs. #monsterdon
Blondie had a great time at Guadacanal.
aww he try to grabby the light
#Monsterdon
This guy just won't let the outer space theories go...#monsterdon
Leave him be, this is his home...
gil man was _not_ ready for his closeup
Gillman hates oil lamps
Is this really the best time for a navel gazing exercise? #Monsterdon
@gnomon I think that checks out, unless you're being strict about it (since we don't know it was coffee in the cup)
"We must have the PROOF!"
And that's why I'm gonna turn this whole ecosystem into mulch! FOR SCIENCE! #Monsterdon
that monkey was mocking you lads
#Monsterdon
"We've just begun to learn water and its secrets ..." then segue to outer space
"We've just begun to learn about the water and its secrets," -me after the washing machine failed to completely remove a stain from my shirt. #monsterdon
Oh, Kay should get killed for that
Wait, stop! The captain gave you his cocaine stash by accident.
Mark and David hate each other a little too much if you know what I mean
anything is worth a try? okay, hear me out: we build an Oxygen Destroyer #monsterdon
So they're just poisoning the whole damn lagoon?? π¨
Why is there a kookaburra here? #monsterdon
this movie gets high marks awarded for sensitivity to geology and huge marks taken away for the sequence where these marine scientists poison an entire lagoon's ecosystem
Or dynamite fishing could be an option
You couldn't see it, but when they cut from her tossing the cigarette to the Creature, he had a tear running down his cheek. Remember the Black Lagoon PSA: "Do what you oughter, don't pollute the water." #Monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954
Blondie can't wait to kill something
well fuck this lagoon, lets just kill everything in it
#Monsterdon
dude this lagoon monster getting hella lit right now with all these free drugs
#monsterdon
oh great the asshole has a gun now perfect
#monsterdon
@OliviaVespera like that viral video of a duck running past the camera... *plup plop plup plop plup plop plup plop*
Oh, oh, they switched to a smaller boat.
#monsterdon
You know what would be useful about now.. dynamite..
well, we did a great job of poisoning the environment
OK, we poisoned the water. It's coffee time!
Excellent. You've killed everything but the creature.
Are they drinking coffee?
I LIVE HERE YOU JERK!
"Ugh. Rude, lady."
GET YOUR BUTT OUT OF MY LAGOON - Gillman
"...let's go fishing with .... poison!"
"See, I've got this fish paralyzing drug. You can tell it's effective because I can handle it with bare hands." #Monsterdon
> fish poison
> touching it with bare hands
π₯΄
#monsterdon
#monsterdon does she keep changing outfits?
Ha ha, he just happens to have a whole crate full of the stuff!
Why would there be only one? #Monsterdon
Get the creature all coked up. Good plan.
@YsengrinWolf
"We're going to need a bigger boat."
Everybody just please listen to the Lady, she's right!
Oh - a crazy old swamp hag
The scream was coming from INSIDE THE BOAT. #monsterdon
They skewered him! #monsterdon
Blood in a B&W movie sure looks like water...
