so the "private laboratory" is inside an abandoned building with a half-build mansion across the street.
wonder if it that mansion was foreclosed on before being finished, LOL
lol, go on, say it..."The University of Cambridge" like it's an actual place
Beginning of this movie will satisfy all the folks who think most movies donβt have enough sheep. #monsterdon
*forgets the rest of the country uses pesky daylight savings*
[joins monsterdon late]
"Oh boy i wonder what cinematic treat the fine people of #monsterdon have selected. Democracy is not problematic at all"
[sheep getting mangled with 1970 shock quick cuts]
.....what the fuck guys? I was gone 10 minutes
is this day for night or night for day?
I'd have expected more of a headbanging crowd with a banjo group playing that well in the tavern. #Monsterdon
@blogdiva 'bat country' #monsterdon
this montage brought to you by the Nevada Gambling Commission. Gambling: Everyone Wins! #monsterdon
and we have started with some church choral and sheep because why?!?!
i am LOVING how broken my timeline is right now
and no, i am equally broken, and i hadn't seen that film previously either
@RobynGoodfellow @annathepiper It can't be deleted scenes. The whole movie was deleted scenes. The film proper was the part left on the floor. #monsterdon #godmonster
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?
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 βthe glory holeβ is mentioned in this film #monsterdon
#GodMonsterOfIndianFlats
Another one in the dump!
@Taweret - Thanks for all you do!
π¦ #Monsterdon Real Time Film Analysts, you really made this stinker worthwhile to watch, if not possible to understand.
π¦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
Zooming/panning from the mayor to the two sheep was a pretty cool shot #Monsterdon #GodMonsterOfIndianFlats
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.
@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?
I'm finding it strange how the Godmonster walking on its hind legs is just passing without comment
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?
of course ACAB would call our godmonster a damned mongoloid beast.
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?!"
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.
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....
mutant doom-sheep kills by tossing you off a building???
I'm starting to think the real monster is people, again π€ #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.
That music was WAY to dramatic for Phillip just washing his face
this whole movie is a trip...a bad bad trip...
#monsterdon make love in front of the monster, sure
@Jiko @trike itβs my favourite reframing mechanism. Thereβs nothing stopping folk from enjoying the fuck out of things that are objectively bad. See #Monsterdon as one example
that blob shits what? fools gold?
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!
NO!!!!!
That dog better be just acting. #monsterdon
i think the movie thinks its doing satire
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.
DOG FUNERAL
DOG FUNERAL
DOG FUNERAL
This small town has a LOT going on TBH
#monsterdon
how come mastodon never has a Bonanza Days?
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"
And this is why you bring the canary #Monsterdon
THATβS NOT WHAT CLAIRVOYANT MEANS!!! #Monsterdon
#monsterdon They better explain the lady in black pretty soon
so many nice locations. someone competent could have made a good movie here
White Privilege is the sheriff not killing that weird young man straight away
throwing trash out by yeeting it off the side of the road is just part of their commitment to historical accuracy #monsterdon
@athena_rising Give it the 'ol sniff test. #monsterdon #TheGodmonsterOfIndianFlats
On seconds thoughts as he's the ONLY Black guy in town I'm feeling Get Out vibes. Run dude, RUN!
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 Weird how they have a sheep incubator all ready to go
#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 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.
Don't waste your time ladies, that lad is only interested in bestiality, probably best Dr Clemens has him
wrought iron everywhere. yup. it's the 1970s.
#monsterdon Yeah TAKE HIM TO THE LAB
Eddie got raptured... or not.
#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...
stampede of floating daylight sheep? what ...what?
#Monsterdon how many of these people do you think were paid extras and how many were locals?
Mr and Mrs Exposition there.....
This is what happens when I try to count sheep to go to sleep.
"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 EchevarrΓa, 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.
I love this pickpocket western-genre sex worker #Monsterdon
Do not get in this strange man's car
banjos are a playing with creepy looking dudes in the house. are we gonna go all Deliverance?
#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.....
abrupt changes in soundtrack mood #monsterdon
Straight from worrying sheep to the casino, is this some Christian movie?
The citizens of Virginia City can hear you, bud.

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...)

A mine of gloriously surreal stuff...
I recommend that all who voted for
#GodMonsterOfIndianFlats
must voluntarily not vote for two weeks as a penalty.
@coprolite9000 Re comparisons of #GodmonsterOfIndianFlats to Original Ulysses with the cyclops sheep monster, or James Joyce's Ulysses, works either way! #Monsterdon
