Creature cannot smell Kay as she changes he clothing every 5 mins. The lads can be tasted though, downwind.
#Monsterdon

leave the monster alone!

#monsterdon

Scientists don't make very good guards
#monsterdon

Doing pull ups. Working those lats.

#Monsterdon

the gillman already sick of this Exposition Conversation

#monsterdon

The Creature is not going to miss a day of its CrossFit routine

#Monsterdon

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

#monsterdon

"And by air I mean tobacco smoke" #monsterdon

Shape of Water would be a good double feature
#monsterdon

@flowerpot @allanb I’m 46, and I still don’t have that much protective chest hair.

#Monsterdon

Why is the monster sleuth footed but the tracks look pigeon toed? #monsterdon

I'm glad l took off my pants

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Bingo!!!

Boy they really raided the sound effects library, didn't they?

#Monsterdon

@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

@flowerpot #monsterdon

because she said "No!" of course...

Bingo! #Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

Interesting how the monster has flipper feet and claw hands

#Monsterdon

All this tension. Maybe the male leads just need to bone. #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

"Will he live?"

What about the guy he just killed and his brother?

#monsterdon

  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.

#CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

"How is he?"
"He's dead."
"Hmmm. Pretty bad."
#monsterdon

“Stop looking at me!

#Monsterdon

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

#monsterdon

Gillman uses Choke Slam. It's super effective.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

I love the creature's theme

🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺

#Monsterdon

Gill-Man uses Vulcan neck pinch!

#Monsterdon #CreatureBlackLagoon1954

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

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

@flowerpot does a bit of protective chest hair count?

#monsterdon

I can't get over how good the suit looks.

#monsterdon

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)

#Monsterdon

@OldRustBucket Catching shade from Robin of all people. #monsterdon

Now the gill-Man is walking just fine (mostly) again.

#Monsterdon #CreatureBlackLagoon1954

You know, you could say something before you grab your friend from behind

#Monsterdon

@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

#Monsterdon

"I'm going to go take a look underwater in the dark without a light. You wait here"

#monsterdon

l mean, during WWll. I was saying he was in comabt in the Pacific and loved it.

#monsterdon

@Taweret

Very improbable phylogenetically, but yeah.

I'm sure this inspired both Silurians and Sea Devils in Doctor Who.

#Monsterdon

[EDIT: wrong word, oops]

Gillman being drugged and somewhat stunned by a searchlight feels plausible.

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

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.

#monsterdon

aww he try to grabby the light
#Monsterdon

Leave him be, this is his home...

#Monsterdon

This guy just won't let the outer space theories go...#monsterdon

gil man was _not_ ready for his closeup

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

Gillman hates oil lamps

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Is this really the best time for a navel gazing exercise? #Monsterdon

I hate how these humans have just gone "let's destroy this lagoon", they were actually saying interesting things before.

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

@gnomon I think that checks out, unless you're being strict about it (since we don't know it was coffee in the cup)

#Monsterdon

"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

#Monsterdon #CreatureBlackLagoon1954

"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

#monsterdon

Wait, stop! The captain gave you his cocaine stash by accident.

#Monsterdon

Mark and David hate each other a little too much if you know what I mean

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

anything is worth a try? okay, hear me out: we build an Oxygen Destroyer #monsterdon

So they're just poisoning the whole damn lagoon?? 😨

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

Or dynamite fishing could be an option

#monsterdon

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

#monsterdon

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*

#monsterdon

Oh, oh, they switched to a smaller boat.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon
You know what would be useful about now.. dynamite..

well, we did a great job of poisoning the environment

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

OK, we poisoned the water. It's coffee time!

#monsterdon

Excellent. You've killed everything but the creature.

#Monsterdon

Are they drinking coffee?

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

I LIVE HERE YOU JERK!

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

"Ugh. Rude, lady."

#Monsterdon

GET YOUR BUTT OUT OF MY LAGOON - Gillman

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

"...let's go fishing with .... poison!"

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

"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
🥴
#monsterdon

#monsterdon does she keep changing outfits?

Ha ha, he just happens to have a whole crate full of the stuff!

#Monsterdon

Why would there be only one? #Monsterdon

Get the creature all coked up. Good plan.

#Monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf
"We're going to need a bigger boat."

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Everybody just please listen to the Lady, she's right!

#Monsterdon

Oh - a crazy old swamp hag

#monsterdon

The scream was coming from INSIDE THE BOAT. #monsterdon

They skewered him! #monsterdon

Blood in a B&W movie sure looks like water...

#Monsterdon

Ewww. Gillman pissed all over the poopdeck.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

Should we mention the Devonian again? Yeah sure why not. #monsterdon

slap him again, it works!
#monsterdon

@Lazarou Profiling goes way back #monsterdon

@ranjit Devonian Dracula I presume?

#Monsterdon
