an eight day dig and they're already packing it up

wow

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

Mark reminds me of Barney from HIMYM.

#monsterdon

@amyfou For doing pirouettes.

#Monsterdon

8 days goes fast when you are having fun (digging up rocks)
#monsterdon

@SalemSoundwaves right? Looks like she's off for a game of tennis.

#Monsterdon

Well there were tons of great fossils here but we smashed the crap out of them. #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

#monsterdon
Roger Corman would have made a musical out of this. I mean, she is already wearing ballet flats, as Amy mentioned..

Oh, if only I could snap these webbed fingers. Darnit!

#Monsterdon

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

#monsterdon
#CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

So how come she doesn't get a full ptih helmet?

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

@amyfou At least they aren't high-heels like ever other monster movie!

#Monsterdon

They'll never find any artifacts when everything is gray like this. #monsterdon

if you just wait right outside the tent you'll see the monster putting its hand up on the bank, it seems to need to do that every 5 minutes or so. just look around instead of being buried in your ipads and sluices #monsterdon

Put your whole back in it, we need to break up any potential fossils!

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Those aren’t the shoes I would wear on an Amazon expedition. She’s practically barefoot. #Monsterdon

No gold here, keep digging! #monsterdon

Gold! GOLD! GOOOOOOOOLD!

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

hello i'm reaching out to ask about extending coverage for your barge insurance
#monsterdon

how long do we think the boat captain is going to last? midway through? 75% of the way through?

#monsterdon

@OliviaVespera We do! @cherizilla gets the lists of possibilities together and puts them in a generator each week: https://mastodon.murkworks.net/@moira/115205563786045721 has a link to today's

#Monsterdon

Claw appearance #3.
#Monsterdon

much like in the devonian, the large boulder the size of a small boulder

#Monsterdon

Wouldn't be a 50s monster, without the monster trying to make off with the womenfolk #Monsterdon

it's kind of unfortunate that the creature design from this movie is iconic because otherwise I could believe thus far that they only made one glove of it

#monsterdon

"Here, I'll look at this rock with a magnifying glass. You make the cocktail."

#monsterdon

Oh drat! It's too early in the movie for me to get completely out while the camera is pointed my way. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon star trek ass music

"Where's Kay?" Right where you fucking left her you jackass!!! #monsterdon #creaturefromtheblacklagoon

I don't want to shift the focus from the impact of these men's deaths but you guys really decided on pith helmets? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon black lagoon creature is the least of her worries in that outfit... hope she brought extra deet

#monsterdon One of the biggest determinants for the size of some insects is the oxygen concentration. With only 18-20% O2 on our earth, the spiders are teeny. In the Devonian, oooh probably much bigger.

Creeper from the Black Lagoon.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌊 🔦🐸🐊🧜‍♂️ 😱

why is she wearing ballet flats in the Amazon?

"Please....I've been...trying...to get...out of this Lagoon...for.....HOURS."

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

#Monsterdon
Excellent shoes for going into the jungle, Kay.

"Dum da DAAAAAAAAA / dum da DAAAAAAAAA / nice shoes"

#Monsterdon

Is she here for science or to play tennis in that outfit? #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Aquaman digs the chicks #monsterdon

If there's one thing I'm always saying about science, it's that science is always taking the remote chance

#Monsterdon

Hey lady, stay here, by the water, where you’ll be safe.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon swiper no swiping

"OMG, I love your shoes!" - The Disembodied Hand

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

My fave scene is when they see the tiger and Chef freaks out - "I'm freaking out, maaaan!"

#monsterdon

That's right, only female in the group. Stand here by yourself

#monsterdon

Gill-Man tries to snag an unobservant Kay, but she makes her dodge roll.

#Monsterdon #CreatureBlackLagoon1954

Mary Ann of the Annazon

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

@strangefour 😂

(thanks for editing)

#Monsterdon

I think it must be contractual that at least 2 people in any scene with 4 or more people must be smoking. 1950's Hollywood execs were really slaves to Big Tobacco. And I'm not even sure if I'm joking here. 🫤 #Monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon yes, leave the white woman unprotected

#Monsterdon

De-Boning Era???

maybe two men stay in the camp next time #monsterdon

"The Grail is in the castle of AAAaaaaahhh...."

#monsterdon

"Stay here, Kay. Lady parts can't withstand jungle mysteries"

#Monsterdon

A rat as big as a sheep? I think they have those in Cleveland too. #monsterdon

I like Kay’s shoes.

#Monsterdon

The botched geology is driving @steggy nuts the way bad cyber hacking drives me crazy in films.
#monsterdon

How do jaguar’s claws rip again, Captain?
#Monsterdon

Can a black lagoon creature kill that boat horn? Please and thank you.
#Monsterdon

So these species are cool because they haven't "changed" but the lung fish is a loser? 😑

#monsterdon

How do the jaguar claws rip again? #monsterdon

Hand hand hand hand #Monsterdon

Stay here, Kate, all alone and with no protection whatsoever.

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

#monsterdon only ONE explanation

Bleh. I was talking about #Monsterton not #Monsterdon for 15 minutes

I don't understand it! He was opening for Weird Al! He never died, it's a hot audience!

#monsterdon

Oh, the good old days when everyone put their hands over archaelogic findings without gloves or any care
#monsterdon

Stay alone while we all run to find out what happened
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Ugh. Those ain't rats the size of sheep. They're capybaras. Ignorant ass scientist…

Looks like some Riggor Morris over there.

#Monsterdon

@vieuxnez He did not run... RIP #monsterdon

Amazonian sheeprats will kill us all. #monsterdon

Men, this whole area would benefit from carpet bombing DDT. It's SCIENCE. #monsterdon

a lot of dramatic hand poses so far
#monsterdon

luis and tomas are otherwise engaged.

#monsterdon

when we anchor we gotta fucken _move_ this boat won't stay afloat one minute more than

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

"...and wait til you hear about the Amazonian Drop Bears!"

#monsterdon

Devonian era lesson incoming.
#Monsterdon

Hello? Ricola?

#monsterdon

We cut to another boat, the RITA, which is sailing with the science masters on it for their expedition.

I am already liking this movie, because it has not one, but two boats!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon
150 million years ago wasn't the beginning of everything.

Exactly as it was 150 mya. Whatevs! No scientist would ever say that. #monsterdon

the Amazonian rat that's as big as a sheep, I think you mean the CAPYBARA that is SHAPED like a FRIEND

#monsterdon

Dr. Reed reminds me a little bit of Phil Hartman.

#Monsterdon

@diazona @bstacey @forestine #Monsterdon would not be complete.

"... hundreds of miles up a river that snaked through the war like a main circuit cable plugged straight into Kurtz ..."

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Lovely Rita Creature boat. Lovely Rita Creature boat. #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

#Monsterdon Now hold on sir a centipede would be 30cm long

it's a pretty good evolutionary strategy to only have one of your species alive at any given time, unchanged across archaeological time #monsterdon

Boat captain's the best character so far.

#monsterdon

Uh, terrible biology. The amazon is not the same as it was 150 million years ago #monsterdon

Dude, this is NOT anythig like the Devonian. Jeez.

#Monsterdon

No they didn't.

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

No, you were right, the Mississippi is something. Very few rivers are nothing. #monsterdon

I can't fault the picture quality, you can see crows feet on the stars. #monsterdon

"A professor needs both vision and confidence." And tenure, but where can you get tenure track these days?

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

lmao that barge driver living it up

can we just get a movie of him fucking around in the jungle, these other people are boring
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

DANG if that guy who got the claw in his face didn't look just like Fred Armisen.

We’re watching the African Queen right, when do the Germans show up?

#monsterdon

He’s a scientist not a fortune teller!

#Monsterdon

Stock footage off the port bow! #Monsterdon
