Amazing how a movie can have too much plot and not nearly enough plot
#monsterdon

@howler0502 "Feelgood Hit Of The Summer!" #monsterdon

Can you describe this sheep monster?

#Monsterdon

So the titular Monster in this #Monsterdon film was...just a SIDE PLOT? It was really about one real estate mogul screwing over another?

Just...wow...

Well at least the baddest baddie was totally off his rocker who went all scorched earth and I guess maybe was the ACTUAL monster?

Quite the gordian knot of a plot

Anyways thanks @Taweret that was certainly ... A Movie !

in the course of clipping this, i can confirm that yes, this is the first and only time “the glory hole” is mentioned in this film #monsterdon

#GodMonsterOfIndianFlats
Another one in the dump!

@Taweret - Thanks for all you do!

🦖 #Monsterdon Real Time Film Analysts, you really made this stinker worthwhile to watch, if not possible to understand.

🦖Here are some impressions from tonight's creature feature:

Contradictory dog casket bark | Followed from Glory Hole | I expect you to die | Furry love | Thoroughly discombobulated | Strong vest game | Lambchops | Satire? | Lassos in maypole | Hippie dancing | Godmonster shuffle

The film's one saving grace is that the dog did not actually die #monsterdon

I was going to screenshot the editor and sound designer to declare them my heroes, but there weren't any credited. I think that says a lot.

#Monsterdon #GodMonsterOfIndianFlats

@allanb No monsters were made in the harming of this film. #Monsterdon

WHAT. IS. GOING. ON. #monsterdon

@apLundell You have the plot correct, yes. Except 75% of the movie is about a black guy from NYC trying to buy up the town and being driven out by store-brand KKK. #Monsterdon

Smart dude, using his gun has a gavel like that...what could go wrong?

#monsterdon

I'm finding it strange how the Godmonster walking on its hind legs is just passing without comment

#Monsterdon

pacing coming to an unexpected complete standstill yet again, we are again completely unsure what the next 15 minutes have in store #monsterdon

all the monster is gonna do is walk up to people, huh?

#monsterdon

of course ACAB would call our godmonster a damned mongoloid beast.

#Monsterdon
#GodMonsterOfIndianFlats

Uh-oh, obvious Frankenstein references here.

"A children's party, I shall play with them..." *screams " ..but I'm a hideous monster! Oh what am I?!"

#monsterdon

Sorry what the fuck is that back there? #Monsterdon

I love how night turns to day in an instant like this was a space habitat.

#monsterdon

Oh no. I've been watching this movie too long. I'm starting to like the hideous 70s fashion choices.
#Monsterdon #Godmonster

I don't blame her for running off, there's no way this movie can bring together all these plot threads

From this angle the Godmonster looks a bit like SCP-682, if it's related that ladies' hippy dance will not work....

#monsterdon #SCPFoundation

mutant doom-sheep kills by tossing you off a building???

#Monsterdon
#GodmonsterOfIndianFlats

"When I die, I'll die like an oil painting"

So long Cowboy Nazi #4

#monsterdon

I'm starting to think the real monster is people, again 🤔 #monsterdon

#monsterdon Little did they know Barnstable is a Kung-Fu superhero!

Imperial stormtrooper marksmanship academy graduates. #Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial @brooke this movie carried a lot of hopes and dreams....#Monsterdon

The sheriff is not really selling us on that gigantic, tough steak #Monsterdon #GodMonsterOfIndianFlats

#Monsterdon the sheriff badge on the tank top is *chefs kiss*

I think he forget to wind the film in between those photos #Monsterdon #GodMonsterOfIndianFlats

so the embryo that was supposed to be dead is now, like, HUGE.

#Monsterdon
#GodMonsterOfIndianFlats

That music was WAY to dramatic for Phillip just washing his face

#monsterdon

this whole movie is a trip...a bad bad trip...

#Monsterdon
#GodmonsterOfIndianFlats

#monsterdon make love in front of the monster, sure

that blob shits what? fools gold?

#Monsterdon
#GodMonsterOfIndianFlats

Remember #Monsterdon crew, "Events have a certain logic..."

I feel like Goth Lady brought her own wardrobe because it's better than everyone else's, like she's in a different movie.

oooo, dramatic thumping of the empty dog coffin, that's some top level directing there!

#monsterdon

NO!!!!!
That dog better be just acting. #monsterdon

i think the movie thinks its doing satire

#monsterdon

nobody even paused to check if the dog was in fact dead, with a single scratch of the belly that whole problem could have been resolved #monsterdon

I cannot believe we are having a funeral for this dog to sell the fraud.

I take it back, this movie is incredible.

#Monsterdon

DOG FUNERAL
DOG FUNERAL
DOG FUNERAL

#Monsterdon

This small town has a LOT going on TBH
#monsterdon

how come mastodon never has a Bonanza Days?

#monsterdon

Wow, this guy is full-on pseudo-scientist. Every fact he learns, he instantly spins an elaborate story about how it confirms his theory exactly. #monsterdon

Phillip is definitely Fash, talking about "unwanted elements"

#monsterdon

And this is why you bring the canary #Monsterdon

THAT’S NOT WHAT CLAIRVOYANT MEANS!!! #Monsterdon

"I've been warned by the spirits of a 1000 miners"

That sounds like a folk song

#monsterdon

Hiding in the cemetery while wearing black.

Like you do.

#Monsterdon

so many nice locations. someone competent could have made a good movie here

#monsterdon

throwing trash out by yeeting it off the side of the road is just part of their commitment to historical accuracy #monsterdon

On seconds thoughts as he's the ONLY Black guy in town I'm feeling Get Out vibes. Run dude, RUN!

#monsterdon

There is a A LOT going on in this weird little town, almost like it's a vision of what Elon would build in the desert......except there is a Black guy being treated as an equal so perhaps not like Elon...

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Where is this lab located? In an Aztec ruin?

I want to be on the record here saying that this movie is jam-packed with good filmmaking decisions

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Detail down to the sex workers

this guy is too blonde to be a leather daddy for that 1970s bar feeling. also that turtleneck is making me sweaty.

#Monsterdon
#GodMonsterOfIndianFlats

Don't waste your time ladies, that lad is only interested in bestiality, probably best Dr Clemens has him

#monsterdon

wrought iron everywhere. yup. it's the 1970s.

#Monsterdon
#GodMonsterOfIndianFlats

#monsterdon Yeah TAKE HIM TO THE LAB

Eddie got raptured... or not.

#Monsterdon
#GodMonsterOfIndianFlats

#monsterdon It's hard to tell if the sheep voices are original or voice-overed by people

Dude, a man having sex with a sheep is not an "amazing scientific event" , talk into your giant 79s iPad all you want...

#monsterdon

stampede of floating daylight sheep? what ...what?

#Monsterdon
#GodmonsterOfIndianFlats

#Monsterdon how many of these people do you think were paid extras and how many were locals?

Mr and Mrs Exposition there.....

#monsterdon

This is what happens when I try to count sheep to go to sleep.

#GodMonsterOfIndianFlats
#Monsterdon

"how's all god's children tonight?" well, we're watching a moive that thinks it's an art house flick, and i'm pretty sure someone's about to die here in the next 5 minutes, so uh, i guess we're fine? #monsterdon

Eddie Echevarría, an orphaned vasco and his sheep lost in the hinterlands of California.

i do not know where this is going, but that's one heck of a plot point.

#Monsterdon
#GodMonsterOfIndianFlats

I love this pickpocket western-genre sex worker #Monsterdon

Do not get in this strange man's car

#monsterdon

banjos are a playing with creepy looking dudes in the house. are we gonna go all Deliverance?

#Monsterdon
#GodMonsterOfIndianFlats

#monsterdon did uh… did anyone else observe THE NOOSE hanging as a watermark behind the FBI piracy warning?!!! :blobsweats:

those banjo fuckers are up to something.....

#monsterdon

abrupt changes in soundtrack mood #monsterdon

The citizens of Virginia City can hear you, bud.

@blogdiva
If anyone hasn't already - go read about the director on Wikipedia. He was an Artist. With a capital A.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fredric_Hobbs

(Then there's his earlier film Troika - which has been screened just *once* in the past fifty-odd years...)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troika_(1969_film)

A mine of gloriously surreal stuff...

“…they did the mash, the Godmonster mash
It was a sheep farm smash
It caught on in a flash
They did the Godmonster mash”

#Monsterdon #GodmonsterOfIndianFlats

@Zerofactorial @moira I can still see the Godmonster when I close my eyes @_@ #Monsterdon

i love godmonster dance 😌​ #monsterdon

Kind of amazing how they went from "we are going to fake a dog death" to "we are going to break your neck."
#monsterdon

@sng @Taweret @apLundell Racism, the environment, historical conservation, mutant sheep

This movie tries to say A Lot about Many Things and I admire that

#Monsterdon

This is your reminder that #manos was responsible for the death of Torgo. DID THIS FILM KILL ANYONE? #monsterdon #godmonster

Seeing the quasi-authentic wild west tourist background in the film makes me slightly envious - I grew up near The American Adventure - a theme park built on the remnants of a disused coal mine in semi-rural Derbyshire.

Complete with a fake wild west street, with staged gun battles and cowboy-themed everything. Imagine a cheap, late '80s British Westworld...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_American_Adventure_Theme_Park

#monsterdon

@rwg Seriously, I gotta formally apologize to Torgo. We didn't know how good we had it. #Monsterdon

I feel like there must be one key element of the filmmakers vision that we missed, one half second piece of dialog or jumpcut, that would bring the movie into brilliant focus, the way the bottom of a glass makes the world briefly make sense. #monsterdon #godmonster

So the moral of this story is... "Fucking white people. Mad as a sack of hammers. Every one of them."
#Monsterdon #Godmonster

that really popped off at the end though like, its all sand and trash and yelling and explosion, an eruption of all the tension ive been sitting on for an hour and twenty five fucking minutes just trying to figure out whats going on and A plot and B plot just collide mindlessly and dramatically like a goose into a cyclist, fuck. #Monsterdon

I feel like I've been hit by a cattle prod. #Monsterdon

Upon reflection, I think my favorite part of #godmonsterofindianflats is when they open the empty, silk-lined dog casket after the sham dog funeral and the casket barks. #monsterdon

@catzilla

I mean, the answer to your second question is certainly because they knew a very good dog

#Monsterdon

"Coriander why aren't you talking about the monster at all?"

The monster was a non-factor in whatever allegory the movie was trying to communicate and you know it

#Monsterdon

The whole thing about nostalgia blinding us to the possibilities of the future and realities of the present IS really interesting to explore in the concept of "old mining town outside Reno just LARPs the Wild West all day every day" but genuinely I don't know what they were DOING with any of it

#Monsterdon

Credits: "The citizens of Virginia City as Themselves"

Wow

#Monsterdon

In conclusion. #monsterdon #TheGodmonsterOfIndianFlats

@Lazarou Well naturally, we're not godmonsters here #monsterdon
