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

#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

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

[swimming continues]

#Monsterdon

Diving into the surprisingly transparent lagoon #monsterdon

Sitting on a park bench...

#monsterdon

the rock test requires the aqualung

/jethro voice

#Monsterdon

Perfect Sea Hunt, hero has two tanks and everyone else one tank. Where's Loyd Bridges when you need him?

#Monsterdon

(I like how we all get the Jazz joke)

#Monsterdon

Hey, Aqualung

#monsterdon

Offended geologists are charming

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

That's some old SCUBA gear, no octopus at all (a four way device for modern SCUBA)
#monsterdon

We’ve got half the title spoken. #Monsterdon

@diazona It can sense her ankles

#monsterdon

"the only difference between rocks and water is the density"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon the underwater cinema is pretty good

aqualung? look, it’s a great album, but we don’t have time for that now #monsterdon

🎶Aqualung, my friend... 🎶#monsterdon

All these shimmering shoals of gray fish against all these gray plants. Stunning.

#Monsterdon

"I'll get the Aqualung."

"Look, I love that album too, but I'm not sure what good that does us right now."

#Monsterdon

AND THEY"RE DELICIOUS!

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

this guy does not know what eating is #monsterdon

none of that involves eating a rock

dude

do you even _know_ any geologists?

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

This is a pretty big trip for folks who been together 6 months. #monsterdon

Be careful poking the rock, it likes to poke back

#Monsterdon

dude it's just a pond. #monsterdon

Racism, with a side of sexism. Classic

#monsterdon

Having watched a lot of Time Team, this seems like a fairly well organized expedition. #monsterdon

@LingLass He's channeling Steamboat Willie #monsterdon

Ah, the boat captain is allowed to have a personality because he's ethnic

#Monsterdon

"Can we get everyone to stand closer to me while I'm swinging a boat hook around?"

#Monsterdon

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?

#monsterdon

Going after fossils? Not without my spear gun! #Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai ...I wonder if the Amazon river even existed in the Devonian period

#Monsterdon

"...just aim it and squeeze"
"Oh, just like ketchup!"

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

This guy's totally gonna shoot the ship's surgeon while aiming for an albatross

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

Chekov's spear gun!
(GRUNTS APPROVINGLY)
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

They are indeed "6 months horny"

#Monsterdon

If there's one thing about a spear gun, it's that it's a POSITIVE weapon! 👍🏻

#Monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon

These guys got dirty everywhere but their hats.

#Monsterdon

Why did you let 8 days to pass to tell us this?

#monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

The lazy hispanic and the hard-working whites

#monsterdon

You're not afraid... yet. #monsterdon

@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 brass…

#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....

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

Creature snaps for fingers after woman walks away before it can grab her ankle.

#monsterdon
#CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

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

#Monsterdon

COME ON, THING, LEND A HA... oh not like that

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

That's a strange position to be in with rigor mortis.

#Monsterdon #CreatureBlackLagoon1954

All killer, no filler

#monsterdon

So far not a true fact about the Amazon as far as I can tell.

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou lol can confirm

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe They don't sell well

#monsterdon

@Lazarou #monsterdon

being obsessed about funding sure is.

(Kicks box)

#monsterdon

So the boat captain is rude to gators. That seems unwise

Crocodiles? Sorry, I don’t know what they are in the Amazon #Monsterdon

Damnit Jim, I'm a scientist, not a fortune teller!

#Monsterdon

is it bad that I'm relieved theyre dead before the movie could get more racist about them?

#Monsterdon

Cool sharks and rays!

#Monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

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!

#Monsterdon

First kills, and proof that killing it with fire won't work. Hm.

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Bald guy has no chance of surviving. Because he's bald

#monsterdon

@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!

#Monsterdon #CreatureBlackLagoon1954

“This one failed”

No, he just knew he should stay down where it’s wetter

#Monsterdon

it's from a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Terminator.

#monsterdon

#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? 🥴
#monsterdon

ah yes, the failing lungfish

#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!"

#monsterdon

I admire their optimism about near future space travel. Very 1950s.

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

I don't get what the big deal is. That hand is what reaches out from under my bed every night. Don't you have one like that? #monsterdon

@brooke This was all well before tri-mix I think, and there were a lot of people who took silly risks.

(it takes place in a later period, but the book Shadow Divers goes into a lot of the issues with risks divers take "just because they want to be first")

#Monsterdon

what we need is to raise cash selling chicken in a bucket
