YES

NOW FUCK

no? dang

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

A decision to vacate the lagoon and return later, perhaps then better equipped for the mortal danger posed by the Creature, leads to a brief debate about chain of command, jurisdiction, and protocol. Captain Lucas offers a compellingly simple argument with a wickedly curved blade which concludes the matter, and the Rita heads for the mouth of the lagoon...

...only to find it impassable, barricaded as if by industrious Amazonian beavers! Or perhaps a furious Creature..?

#monsterdon

He'll be spitting out pieces of his broken luck #monsterdon

The Aqualung? I didn't know Jethro Tull was in this!

#Monsterdon

It's almost like the creature you shot and poisoned and attacked is a little mad about it

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

this movie is like Jaws if the shark worked

#monsterdon

Oh no my sticks? what on earth was that actually about?

#monsterdon

It's 3 beavers in a monster costume doing all the killing all along!
And now they've built a dam. Your boat is stuck now.
#Monsterdon

Monster uses its special ability: intelligence

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Has there been a horror movie yet about a peaceful lagoon creature minding its own business and then one night its home is invaded by weird pink creatures that set it on fire?

#Monsterdon

This scene needs a Martin Sheen voiceover.

#Monsterdon

This may be the most useless winch in the history of marine equipment.

#monsterdon

I compute a 40% chance that the arrogant prick gets everyone killed but Richard Carlson and the token female. #monsterdon

#monsterdon "Start your winch!" Lady: "Well i never!"

Gilman: If that's how you want to play it then it is ON. #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

aww, he laid a trap then took out the boat, just like people would!

#Monsterdon

She sure didn't get her job because she's smart

#monsterdon

"By him!"

It couldn't have been...driftwood or anything...

#monsterdon

o noes, it's a twig!

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

@CactuarJoe @Taweret

Sometimes the monster is the more sympathetic character, TBH.

Del Toro thought so!

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon #TheShapeOfWater

and that impresive bit of stun work gives me a #MonsterdonBingo! 😁

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Damn!
#monsterdon

It really sucks when you get put in your place while wearing short shorts. It just intensifies the effect so much. #monsterdon

I will say not only that this costume is quite good, but also the Creature’s performers are quite good. Particularly the underwater performer managed to convey a uniquely fishy vibe while moving. #monsterdon

@Lazarou #monsterdon

"Aguirre, the Wrath of God" is an amazing movie

ha! capitan can stay as long as he wants if he promises to keep pulling knives on the jerk.

#monsterdon

I still really like that captain. #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

#monsterdon
THis creature has been speared, beaten, put in a cage, and burned. But he's just gotta get on that boat.

lagoon monster didn't give two fucks at the beginning when he attacked the guys in the tent when they had a fire out front, why is it so scared of the little lamps 🥴
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌊 🔦🐸🐊🧜‍♂️ 😱

I don't understand what just happened

HOLY FUCK THEY LIT HIM UP BUT GOOD!

#Monsterdon

Creature cannot smell Kay as she changes he clothing every 5 mins. The lads can be tasted though, downwind.
#Monsterdon

leave the monster alone!

#monsterdon

Scientists don't make very good guards
#monsterdon

Doing pull ups. Working those lats.

#Monsterdon

the gillman already sick of this Exposition Conversation

#monsterdon

The Creature is not going to miss a day of its CrossFit routine

#Monsterdon

Damn, but this woman has a lot of clothes. Did she bring a steamer truck full? Cripes! #Monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

it's challenging to crate train a creature

#monsterdon

"And by air I mean tobacco smoke" #monsterdon

Shape of Water would be a good double feature
#monsterdon

@flowerpot @allanb I’m 46, and I still don’t have that much protective chest hair.

#Monsterdon

I'm glad l took off my pants

#monsterdon

Haha

CUT TO: 🐸

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Bingo!!!

Boy they really raided the sound effects library, didn't they?

#Monsterdon

@allanb I'll allow it.
#Monsterdon

@Lazarou If he would just listen to David they could get two papers out of this, not just one #monsterdon

@flowerpot #monsterdon

because she said "No!" of course...

Bingo! #Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

Interesting how the monster has flipper feet and claw hands

#Monsterdon

All this tension. Maybe the male leads just need to bone. #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

"Will he live?"

What about the guy he just killed and his brother?

#monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

  TRIVIA FROM THE BLACK LAGOON

The fight scene with the knife was practiced for two days. Still, during filiming, the Gill-man missed grabbing the knife and it jabbed the mask. No injuries.

#CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

“Stop looking at me!

#Monsterdon

oh please, she fell over immediately, pathetic...

#Monsterdon

Shining a bright spotlight at the monster is just plain rude! #Monsterdon

That's right, throw yourself on him armed with nothing but a stick

#monsterdon

I love the creature's theme

🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺

#Monsterdon

Gill-Man uses Vulcan neck pinch!

#Monsterdon #CreatureBlackLagoon1954

Oh, the suit's got moving gills! Oh excellent job :D #Monsterdon

I was hoping this would be a total lair with like a library of merbooks and candelabras

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

@flowerpot does a bit of protective chest hair count?

#monsterdon

I can't get over how good the suit looks.

#monsterdon

Ah, typical monsterdon movie, I miss a "crucial" 15 minutes in the middle thanks to the real monster* and can still follow the "plot" when I return.

*(whatever liquefied in my green waste bin in the kitchen overnight, attracting a veritable hoard of drosophila)

#Monsterdon

@OldRustBucket Catching shade from Robin of all people. #monsterdon

You know, you could say something before you grab your friend from behind

#Monsterdon

@allanb Not even a shirt to protect from getting scratched.
#Monsterdon

By all means go into a poorly lit gillman's lair. #Monsterdon

All standing still on the boat as if they're about to break out in a musical number

#Monsterdon

"I'm going to go take a look underwater in the dark without a light. You wait here"

#monsterdon

l mean, during WWll. I was saying he was in comabt in the Pacific and loved it.

#monsterdon

@Taweret

Very improbable phylogenetically, but yeah.

I'm sure this inspired both Silurians and Sea Devils in Doctor Who.

#Monsterdon

[EDIT: wrong word, oops]

Gillman being drugged and somewhat stunned by a searchlight feels plausible.

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Now we've also had two mentions of life on other worlds? Which I'm completely confused by since they've all but said that the creature is just a fish that evolved two arms and two legs. #monsterdon

Blondie had a great time at Guadacanal.

#monsterdon

aww he try to grabby the light
#Monsterdon

Leave him be, this is his home...

#Monsterdon

This guy just won't let the outer space theories go...#monsterdon

gil man was _not_ ready for his closeup

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

Gillman hates oil lamps

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Is this really the best time for a navel gazing exercise? #Monsterdon

@gnomon I think that checks out, unless you're being strict about it (since we don't know it was coffee in the cup)

#Monsterdon

"We must have the PROOF!"

And that's why I'm gonna turn this whole ecosystem into mulch! FOR SCIENCE! #Monsterdon

that monkey was mocking you lads
#Monsterdon

"We've just begun to learn water and its secrets ..." then segue to outer space

#Monsterdon #CreatureBlackLagoon1954

"We've just begun to learn about the water and its secrets," -me after the washing machine failed to completely remove a stain from my shirt. #monsterdon

Oh, Kay should get killed for that

#monsterdon

Wait, stop! The captain gave you his cocaine stash by accident.

#Monsterdon

Mark and David hate each other a little too much if you know what I mean

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

anything is worth a try? okay, hear me out: we build an Oxygen Destroyer #monsterdon

So they're just poisoning the whole damn lagoon?? 😨

#Monsterdon

Why is there a kookaburra here? #monsterdon

this movie gets high marks awarded for sensitivity to geology and huge marks taken away for the sequence where these marine scientists poison an entire lagoon's ecosystem

#Monsterdon

Or dynamite fishing could be an option

#monsterdon

Blondie can't wait to kill something

#monsterdon

well fuck this lagoon, lets just kill everything in it
#Monsterdon

dude this lagoon monster getting hella lit right now with all these free drugs
#monsterdon

oh great the asshole has a gun now perfect
#monsterdon

@OliviaVespera like that viral video of a duck running past the camera... *plup plop plup plop plup plop plup plop*

#monsterdon
