@blueemu I'm not even sure why it happened tbh! #Monsterdon
In a Corman movie, they would have been walking that whole time.
#monsterdon I'm surprised no one died yet
This movie brought to you by the Scuba Diving Council. Scuba, it's what's for dinner. #Monsterdon
I loved this guy in The Shape of Water
#monsterdon Amazon river, so maybe... Piranha! Ooooh but hey, you knew I couldn't resist another Monsterdon movie reference!
it is a cool looking monster. I like it
So you're gonna take the rocks from the ... surface of the river, which are probably the newest... to date it?
look, it's simple, he looks at rocks, he publishes papers, he gets tenure, the university pays him, so he can eat. He eats rocks!
Ok, look, I know Iβm not a scientist by profession, let alone a paleontologist, but this doesnβt look like a great place for fossils
3D same way a viewmaster is 3D
But seriously, a #Monsterdon entry that opens with the creation of Earth?! Hell yea.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon we paid for this underwater footage; we're sure gonna use it
The Black Lagoon with lots of algea and unknown wildlife. Let's go swimming!
#monsterdon they really enjoy their diving scenes. Milking as much as they can with it.
HI WE'RE IN 3D HOPE YOU LIKE THE MOVIE
[swimming continues]
Diving into the surprisingly transparent lagoon #monsterdon
Sitting on a park bench...
Perfect Sea Hunt, hero has two tanks and everyone else one tank. Where's Loyd Bridges when you need him?
(I like how we all get the Jazz joke)
Hey, Aqualung
Offended geologists are charming
That's some old SCUBA gear, no octopus at all (a four way device for modern SCUBA)
#monsterdon
Weβve got half the title spoken. #Monsterdon
"the only difference between rocks and water is the density"
#monsterdon the underwater cinema is pretty good
aqualung? look, itβs a great album, but we donβt have time for that now #monsterdon
πΆAqualung, my friend... πΆ#monsterdon
All these shimmering shoals of gray fish against all these gray plants. Stunning.
"I'll get the Aqualung."
"Look, I love that album too, but I'm not sure what good that does us right now."
AND THEY"RE DELICIOUS!
none of that involves eating a rock
dude
do you even _know_ any geologists?
This is a pretty big trip for folks who been together 6 months. #monsterdon
Be careful poking the rock, it likes to poke back
dude it's just a pond. #monsterdon
Racism, with a side of sexism. Classic
@LingLass He's channeling Steamboat Willie #monsterdon
"Can we get everyone to stand closer to me while I'm swinging a boat hook around?"
That's right, damage the ship
#monsterdon
and how many spears did you bring with you??? just because a gun is easy to shoot doesn't mean you get to waste all the ammo shooting at the various parts of the boat #monsterdon
Whatever that captain is smoking is making him very jolly #Monsterdon
Is that a speargun or were you just enjoying watching us kiss?
Going after fossils? Not without my spear gun! #Monsterdon
@Newpa_Hasai ...I wonder if the Amazon river even existed in the Devonian period
"...just aim it and squeeze"
"Oh, just like ketchup!"
This guy's totally gonna shoot the ship's surgeon while aiming for an albatross
Chekov's spear gun!
(GRUNTS APPROVINGLY)
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon
They are indeed "6 months horny"
If there's one thing about a spear gun, it's that it's a POSITIVE weapon! ππ»
So was now a bad time for weed and mushrooms or..... #monsterdon
"Sorry, that was my stomach." #Monsterdon
Ah, pick-axe archaeology. When you absolutely need results.
These guys got dirty everywhere but their hats.
Why did you let 8 days to pass to tell us this?
I guess this monster has eyes in its hands, to be able to tell exactly when Kay steps away without having its head out of the water
You're not afraid... yet. #monsterdon
The lazy hispanic and the hard-working whites
@bunnyhero Okay. Thanks. #monsterdon
Tributary with a dead end? Is it a tributary? #monsterdon
What color is the lagoon? Answer monochromatically! #monsterdon
@Terencio in the 80s version of this he would! #Monsterdon
#monsterdon We've got #SuddenStringSection and someones wandering around with a pair of cymbals and some brassβ¦
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon "lagoon" namedrop at 17 minutes
For all we know they're exhuming from the Mer-people's burial ground.
The white folk do like to steal skulls....it is known....
Science people sciencing science things scientifically.
#monsterdon
I cant say I wonder what the monster is doing because so far its showing up like every five minutes
In my best "get smart" voice: Missed her by *that much* #Monsterdon
Okay movie we get it. This monsterous claw has his own very loud orchestra with him.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon
The Creature just loves her shoes #monsterdon
@Newpa_Hasai "...spanning 60.3 million years from the end of the preceding Silurian period at 419.62 million years ago (Ma), to the beginning of the succeeding Carboniferous period at 358.86 Ma" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devonian)
wow
yeah that's a little off
COME ON, THING, LEND A HA... oh not like that
That's a strange position to be in with rigor mortis.
All killer, no filler
So far not a true fact about the Amazon as far as I can tell.
@Lazarou lol can confirm
@CactuarJoe They don't sell well
being obsessed about funding sure is.
(Kicks box)
So the boat captain is rude to gators. That seems unwise
Crocodiles? Sorry, I donβt know what they are in the Amazon #Monsterdon
is it bad that I'm relieved theyre dead before the movie could get more racist about them?
Cool sharks and rays!
The hand is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this story #monsterdon
NYOINK! #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Creature needs to learn consent.
aw, not the guys watching the camp, they were just trying to do their jobs.
The fish person just wants a nice 50's suit with massive shoulders like so many of the other people. #Monsterdon
Hear those stirring chords! TIL that the musician, uncredited, for #CreaturefromtheBlackLagoon was Henry Mancini! #Monsterdon
Second time the hand of the Creature touches the shoreline! Theory: that's Black Lagoon Creature calisthenics. He's just trying to stretch!
Bald guy has no chance of surviving. Because he's bald
@Lazarou She must be a time traveler. Them too #monsterdon
I wish I could work in a lab with a window into a huge salt water aquarium like that!
it's from a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Terminator.
#monsterdon Don't call him a failure. He's perfect the way he is.
Scientists sure had spiffy suits in the 1950s. #monsterdon
how can he tell it's powerful? π₯΄
#monsterdon
"Why don't WE do the research"
"You're right, that way they don't have to cast more actors and pay them scale!"
I admire their optimism about near future space travel. Very 1950s.
