Something actually happened, and the music barely cared.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌊 🔦🐸🐊🧜‍♂️ 😱

oh noooooo

#monsterdon poor gillman's been speared. I'd be terrified if that happened to me

Turns out the real monster is man.

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Should've put a rope on your spear. Now you'll never get it back.

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

RIGHT in the pancreas

do gill men have pancreases?

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

well, i suppose the upside to these boring underwater sequences is that we don't have to listen to the guys talk 🥴
#monsterdon

Swimming Underwater: The Movie

#monsterdon

I like how all these guys are dressed like 20s seals. #monsterdon

Damn asshole funders. Is this so we hope for him to die? #Monsterdon

Mark is a dick, and cannot handle is underwater harpoon cannon.

So a ineffectual dick too.

#monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf Why must he be a teenage merman in love...

#Monsterdon

Still better than Aquaman. Sorry, Momoa.

#monsterdon

The soundtrack is trying to hard with it's one song. It's almost ruining this for me.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

🐟 TURN DOWN YOUR LIGHTS 🐟 I said! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon what a graceful gillman

@whiskeysailor

#Monsterdon
Yeah, I remember those were really good! Especially for the era.

(I'm not watching tonight, but I've seen it)

EXPLOSION

of plant material

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Oh, NOW that creature's GOTTA be pissed about that net.

This horror film could have been a Jacques Cousteau documentary.

#Monsterdon

@jivens lol

#Monsterdon

i am impressed that 'leave nature in its natural habitat alone" made it into this movie, and infuriated that it's still a pressing topic.

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

The underwater level is always a pain in the ass

#Monsterdon

The thing about shooting a film for 3D is, with or without 3D, the special ooo-look-at-the-effect shots stand out as weird and stilted. #Monsterdon

I see weed

#monsterdon
#CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

I got my batch all lit up. like it?

#Monsterdon

Really appreciating all the different fishies

#Monsterdon

That's a weird ass underwater flashlight.

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

I guess it's the black lagoon mating season with synchronized swimming
#Monsterdon

I do wish I had the 3D glasses for this one
#monsterdon

Sea Hunt (In color).

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

#monsterdon
Let's go diving in the rip through a net and leave a tooth lagoon.

time to go pat an eel, i guess??
#Monsterdon

Tiny bubbles...
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon well, that bubble scene alone probably justified the 3D.

@Princejvstin nice, I was wondering!

#Monsterdon

bubbles shot for 3d

#monsterdon

"This is my harpoon. There are many like it, but this one is mine...."

#monsterdon

Orchestra's on break. Nothing unpleasant is going to happen till everyone's back #monsterdon

Filmed in a time when a lady doesn't even glisten, and even Creature fears to touch her.

#Monsterdon

The underwater scenes are really a stand out
#monsterdon

Here we go again. Theoretically, something has to happen at some point.

#Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie LMBO!!!!! Alas, not one was alive to sue him. #monsterdon

No homophobia, please.

"You sound like a big gay munter"

#Monsterdon

@LingLass incredibly graceful #monsterdon

We're going to need a bigger African Queen knock-off.

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Well, he *is* a white guy.

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

@jonny Oddly enough in this one, the gillman had no air tanks or even hoses. They didn't want bubbles coming up from it.

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

It's nice of them to give us a character like Mark who is totally gonna die.

#monsterdon

Hey, I don't have to let nothing alone so long as I have a harpoon! #Monsterdon

Mark’s real name is Chad #Monsterdon

Rock analysis:

It's got a good beat and it's easy to dance to. 68.

#Monsterdon

That’s some agile swimming in such a big rubber suit. #Monsterdon

It's a lizard poop
#monsterdon

@amyfou Ha ha, indeed!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon That's a cool camera

rocks can leave other rocks in nets you haircut
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "A rock didn't leave this!"

…
A turd?

Would you look at that... mushroom!

#monsterdon

They caught Zoidberg, and he snip-snipped his way out of the net.

Then Stooged away.

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

I feel like this moment with the net is the sort of thing that should happen *before* we see the Creature

#Monsterdon

The net is down #monsterdon

And now I'm reminded of Richard Dreyfus in the cage in Jaws, and they eventually pull up the wrecked cage, in this scene from #CreaturefromtheBlackLagoon #Monsterdon

"You're going to need a bigger boat"

#monsterdon

#monsterdon The water is so clear, whats your excuse for NOT NOTICING ANYTHING... WOMAN... ;) Fetch the coffee, little miss flawless eyeliner in the drippy wet.

But we won't let this stop 4th of July!

#Monsterdon

this was no human rock

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

#monsterdon we're gonna need a bigger boat

The equivalent of walk across the entire city with nothing happening.

#Monsterdon

Yup, piranha!

#Monsterdon

THE COMPRESSION'S TURNED UP TOO FAR, HE CAN'T HEAR YOU

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

Farewell and adieu to ye fair Spanish ladies....

#monsterdon

@yatsu They brought a bigger boat.

#monsterdon

Oh movie, you tease!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon so that's the amazing Ricou Browning in the Gill-man suit under water. The guy was also responsible for all the dangerous underwater stunts in Thunderball, and was the co-creator of Flipper.

The guy's a legend, and only died recently (2023 at 93).

WHAT WAS THAT?
the consequences of your actions Kay
#Monsterdon

Watch that crane guys!

#Monsterdon

Music starting and stopping like "NEVER MIND LOL" #Monsterdon

The creature is looking respectfully #Monsterdon

MISS LAWRENCE TAKE OUT YOUR DAMN AIRPODS AND LISTEN you're too far out! #Monsterdon

the shark from jaws is irritated.

#monsterdon

I'd be doing the exact opposite of Miss Lawrence I'd be up and outa there in a heartbeat if something was at my feet AND there's already been a death in camp oi

#Monsterdon

Ooooo... Kay (Julie Adams) swimsuit scene! 👀

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

@Copperplate

"Can you show us on this doll where he touched you?"

#Monsterdon

I'm afraid she's going to need rescuing
#monsterdon

#monsterdon MA, DAD DIDN'T CLEAN THE POOL

#monsterdon I mean yeah, they really just swam anywhere like they own the place

tickle tickle
#Monsterdon

yeah, start the motor, we've got a lady to run over with out boat.

#monsterdon

@elaterite Bog! #monsterdon

This scene is entirely just Shape of Water foreplay 50 years early.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

#monsterdon Iunno, that guy seems a bit fishy :/

is he trying to play this little piggie went to market, but underwater?
#Monsterdon

He just wants frens.

#Monsterdon

@OldRustBucket hmm I guess I can see the similarity

#Monsterdon

the swamp creature is driven by an insatiable lust to kill when guys are just chilling in the tent but is suddenly shy when dinner is doing backflips in its living room #monsterdon

Never swim in a black lagoon when you're on your period! You'll attract gillmen!

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Lagoon creature likes to watch :bloblewd: #Monsterdon

she has unusually pointy breasts
#monsterdon
