That oar is not dissolving. I don't think there is much basis for complaint. #monsterdon
That pipe reminds me of beaver deceivers! Sometimes if a beaver is doing a very good job of making a wetland but you need it to do a slightly worse job, you put a pipe in there to let water flow through.
Beavers are very good at finding beaver deceivers and plugging them.

This transfer must be in super high definition. My computer is having terrible framerate problems

#monsterdon
We're in for an hour and a half of gripping photojournalism behind the scenes folks #monsterdon
there are very normal frogs all over the place! get out of there! #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Les Baxter!
Thsi movie certainly delivers Frogs. #monsterdon
@moira ribbit
Def gonna be a dead letter carrier up in there. #Monsterdon
Sound Mixer: John Speak! LOL #monsterdon
This is what happens when you put the frat house in the swamp.
#Monsterdon #Frogs #πΈ
Is....is this guy Sam Elliott?
How can such a cute sound of nature be turned into something so scary?
#Monsterdon #Frogs
Baby doll jump scare? #Monsterdon
Babies are notoriously polluting. Oh no, just a doll. Not quite as bad. #monsterdon
That title sting was loud (and surprising)βappropriate for a horror film, I suppose.
#monsterdon After this, Baxter went on to score the SeaWorld attraction in Florida.
Yeesh.
Chekhov's toxic waste runoff #Monsterdon
I'm so excited - we're going to get "Electronic Effects" !!
babydoll in the water
music: dun dunnnn !!
#monsterdon
There's a legend of a beer in these woods... #Monsterdon
That clicking to still credits is pretty effective. #Monsterdon
what is this bozone doing doesn't eh know there are frogs !?!/ #monsterdon
#Monsterdon This will be some strange southern Lorax thing. Right? ;)
Joan Von Ark kinda adds a prime time soap opera flavor to the movie. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon sometimes you eat the frog and, well, sometimes the frog eats you
Look at all that paper! #Monsterdon
REMINDER! ECO DISASTER MOVIE! have some trash. #monsterdon
ooo the opening credits of this #Monsterdon are in that kinda proto-comic-sans font that means it'll be a gooder
And here we see the wild pollution in its natural habitat
#monsterdon
Some things never change, litter in the wetlands.
Styrofoam and steel poptop cans those were the days huh!
Is Joan Van Ark a discount soldier-saint?
Uh oh... there's trash in the water... #Monsterdon guess that's what sets the frogs off?
Sponsored by coca cola #monsterdon
#Monsterdon pull tab beer isn't on my bingo card, dang it.
Clean up in marsh 8! #monsterdon
Our first product placement - Coca Cola (as floating trash)
Is this going to be a movie with an environmental message?
*discarded Coke Cola cans and baby doll*
Yep. They got some stock footage from Godzilla vs the Smog Monster almost.
#Monsterdon #Frogs1972
And Adam Rourke as "Clint" is already good vibes.
Uhh great opening title!
#monsterdon
Unfortunately I am not herp-savvy enough to ID these beautiful creatures we're seeing! #Monsterdon
Shot on location at Bill's Road-side Wildlife Preserve!
βClintβ is more suspicious than just Clint #monsterdon
it's just freeze frame, but somehow putting it at the beginning of the film makes it so much worse. #monsterdon
The footage is pretty chill, but what if we put stings of music over the top of it! #monsterdon
There are too many non-frogs here... Or maybe new frogs? #Monsterdon
Ah yes, the eco-horror movie of the 70s. We should do Night of the Lepus, which has giant rabbits. #monsterdon
He's stalking the wild credit sequence. #Monsterdon
holy shit, Shelley Duvall is in this? I love her!
#monsterdon #frogs!
that's...quite the sting. someone's having fun with the stock SFX library. #monsterdon
Love the dramatic music for the Frog
Why. is "Clint" in quotes? Does he not really play "Clint"? ? #monsterdon
We're in the Okefenokee Swamp (or some place like it), but the music would make you think we're in space.
Representing Lemmy, Mastodon's fediverse sibling! #monsterdon
Sam Elliott! Oh boy, my favorite character actor whose politics I try really really hard not to think about! #monsterdon
whoa what a synth sting!
I love me an American International Pictures production!
it could be 35mm. which means wide-angle in film tiems. Every picture's alt-text is SWAMP.
Boy that frog sure was scary! #Monsterdon
Scientist spotted, or just a guy who likes taking nature photos?
#Monsterdon #Frog1972
Sideburns! And weβre go! #Monsterdon
Lens angle of view not matching still shots.
#monsterdon Right out the gate we get a cameo of the Gila Monster from The Giant Gila Monster. πΆ ...and the lord said laugh, children laugh...
Joan Van Ark. That's dutch for Joan With Ark. #Monsterdon
CURSE YOUR BITTER HEART, AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL PICTURES!
WHY MUST YOU CONTINUE OUR SUFFERING!?
#Monsterdon frog
ok fears assuaged, the jump scare on the normal looking frog is all i need to see to know i'm in the right place for #monsterdon

You know, if I wasn't so scared of going broke, I would love the life of the photographer.
Somebody put a lot of thought into designing that MPAA rating notice
#Monsterdon well i *did* see a frog in the first minute of the film

Frog: affirmative
#Monsterdon #Frogs1972
#Monsterdon gratuitous tounge

π΅ Why are there so many songs about rainbows ... #monsterdon
Snake color matches the canoe - fashionable! #monsterdon
American International film. I feel like that logo is suggestive.
