We really should just go back to the sea
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon The Lungfish... a failure... a big loser... such a shame

First Devonian, now Pleistocene. We're jumping around the past half a billion years with wild abandon!

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Stupid eel! Get with the program man! #Monsterdon

I just jumped ahead and just ignored the dialogue. It's a monster movie, I'm guessing I'm not going to miss much.
#Monsterdon

Exactly as I found it….except on a stick.
#monsterdon
#CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

My mom: "Could you find her a pointier bra?"

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Okay, we’ve established that this movie knows about increasing pressure at deeper water depths. And that it might not know how paleontologists treat petrified remains. #monsterdon

So you found someone's discarded, desiccated Budda's Hand from their lunch. So what?!

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

@bunnyhero oh that would be BRILLIANT

Maybe someday...

#Monsterdon

At least he didn't think the idea was all wet #monsterdon

Expedition? You mean back to where it came from? The rest is probably somewhere around there... #Monsterdon

Yes, marine research is valuable
#monsterdon

This guy who I presume is our main character has a very Phil Hartman kinda vibe about him. A shirtless muscly for the 50s ichthyologist kinda Phil Hartman.

#monsterdon
Mandatory science pipe has appeared.

"it must belong to an amphibian, one that spent a great deal of time in the water" well that narrows it down considerably, thank you Professor Science

#monsterdon

@ryan I was expecting the gillman episode, but no it was the knock off King Kong episode with actual Kong suit from vs Godzilla plus a monkey tail.
#Monsterdon

now how are you estimating the power level of a creature from its hand bones #monsterdon

#monsterdon Doctor Colonel Sanders… If you squint, just like the Colonel, the little bolo tie can be seen as a little stick figure body. Once you see that, you can't unsee that.

Is it progressive when the guy is hoping that the girl will support him in the style to which he wishes to become accustomed? #Monsterdon #CreaturefromtheBlackLagoon

You can tell I’m a serious scientist because I smoke a pipe.x

#monsterdon

Pipe guy looking very pipe-smart

#Monsterdon

The Devonian was 419 million years ago. That "fossil" is in great shape!

#Monsterdon

HOW IS THE STRUCTURE OF THOSE FINGERS OBVIOUSLY FOR LAND USE?

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

I wonder if Abe Sapien and the Creature are related? #Monsterdon

We have smoking, a pipe no less

#Monsterdon #CreatureBlackLagoon1954

#monsterdon oh my it is Col Sanders

I love how the claw is flipping them all off. #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

I see a claw. I hate that I'm behind.
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon is… is that Bing Crosby?

#monsterdon I wouldn't say exactly... you did take it out of the rock...

here it is, exactly as i found it 🤘

#monsterdon

You found it mounted on a stand?

#Monsterdon

Baby sharks #monsterdon

Even the underwater scenes are 3D :D
#monsterdon

So she's been chalking up marriages like she's related to me, got it. #monsterdon

You found that already on a stick?!

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

The lone bassoon of aquatic mystery #monsterdon

He looks more like an itchyologist though

#Monsterdon

CREATURE SCREECHES!

finally

#Monsterdon

If Col Sanders (I'm just going to call him Col Sanders, I didn't hear his actual name) wore that hat in a real boat, it wouldn't last 10 seconds.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon ooo those look like some tasty sharks. It was a different time.

#Monsterdon 🌊 🔦🐸🐊🧜‍♂️ 😱

are those leopard sharks?

@starkraving666 And in the company of at least one man.

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

I don't think this little pyramid on string things are measuring on metric, the correct system

#Monsterdon

leopard shark

LEOPARD SHARK

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

@starkraving666 Her boat skippers' license says she can only drive during daylight hours.

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

if someone finds my arm and hand in an archaeological dig, I can only hope it's giving the middle finger

#monsterdon

"You don't look like an icthyologist! By which I mean, _hot_. Honey, if you're not going to marry him, I am."

#Monsterdon

A photograph in a limestone deposit from the Devonian Age would be a pretty big discovery. #monsterdon

Who allowed this woman to drive #monsterdon #creaturefromtheblacklagoon

Oh no both the leads are hot

#Monsterdon

Thank you Archeologist Sanders.

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

I found this in a limestone deposit dating back to the Devonian age.

They were not men, they were Devo!

#monsterdon

Change of pressure? From 40ft?

#Monsterdon

[types something]

no, no, no, no, no

[deletes]

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

An ichthyologist should look half fish #monsterdon

Dang. I was folding laundry and missed the start time.
Jumping in now to watch #Monsterdon (perhaps at 2x speed until I catch up.)

the wave in her hair is preposterous, that's like a whole head wave #monsterdon

#monsterdon shaming people for unmarital touching

Earlier I was skimming through the movie a little bit to make sure the subtitles were good, which was challenging bc most of it is swimming #monsterdon #creaturefromtheblacklagoon

"Did you ever hear of two living as cheaply as one?"

That's a fucking lie, and you know it.

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

#Monsterdon 🌊 🔦🐸🐊🧜‍♂️ 😱

oh no there is a shirtless ichthyologist scuba diver who is also a hottie i guess

This actress looks a lot like Jennifer Connolly to me! #Monsterdon #CreaturefromtheBlackLagoon

Thanks to whomever posted the archive link!

#monsterdon

He's got the hero twin scuba tanks! (Think Loyd Bridges in the TV show, Sea Hunt.)

#Monsterdon

Meet my new boyfriend

#monsterdon

I'm in Brazil? #monsterdon

Gets really wet under that background reel

#Monsterdon

What does an ichthyologist look like, exactly?

#Monsterdon

"instituto de biologico" how am I supposed to know what that means! speak goddamn english, sign!

#monsterdon

He doesn't even have a goatee!

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

"Did you bring us any chicken?"

#Monsterdon

Does Colonel Sanders kill the Creature with a spork?

#Monsterdon

Who's this low-rent KFC Colonel?

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Chekov's The Bends

#monsterdon

He has to get used to the change in pressure

"HEY YOU, IDIOT, YOU DONE DOWN THERE YET? GET MOVING YOUUUU!"

#monsterdon

I want lagoon-creature gloves they would be so cool #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Do you think Swamp thing will make a cameo?

More like Sea Moar Butts.

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Obligatory "swimming past the a diving team from the Seaview going the other way" joke.

#Monsterdon

@blue
I want to learn to scuba
Hey, I got a script for you!
#monsterdon

Oh hey! This is where that old monster movie sting is from. Neat. Cool flipper claw too.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

Vintage scuba gear!

...with no BCD.

...what do you mean it was a decompression dive?

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

#monsterdon
At the depth he's working, the fish won't hear a thing.. wut?

Are those the right shoes for the Amazon?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Don't be pulled in

So lemme get this straight. They find a million year old fossil, and then that same Thursday the non-million-year-old-version of that creature noticed and decided to have a go at them?
#monsterdon

Colonel Sanders there is up to something

#Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 Was the person who made them jumping? #monsterdon

It's Colonel Sanders! #monsterdon

love a production that's an excuse to fuck around on speedboats on the studio's dime

#monsterdon

Aw poor thing just want’s their other hand back.

#monsterdon

The fish won't hear a thing, believe me! We've filled them to the rim with rich, delicious ethanol

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Dig it out, or you know, just yank it out.

Whoops. I took longer getting coffee and pie (and playing with a cat) than I figured. Even when I was ready 15 minutes early I still come in late.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

What an iiinteressssting monster!
#Monsterdon
#CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

It's #Monsterdon time again :blobrainbow:

Some kinda swampy thing again I guess. I dunno. Maybe we should drain the swamp. But then again it would just get filled back up with something even more heinous anyways.

Anyways follow the hashtag to join us at the lagoon, or filter as you would

Ominous bubbles #Monsterdon
