@trixter We liked it FINE! You kids and your....dancin'! #Monsterdon

Godzilla as lost folklore for ancient Japanese rituals is cool #monsterdon

kids these days don't appreciate human sacrifice like we did smh

#monsterdon

uh

better ritual harder, guys

i don't think it's workin'

#monsterdon #gojira

"...this dance is all that's left of the ritual."
"because you stopped sacrificing young girls?"
"no"
"oh"

#Monsterdon #Gojira

Great shot of the fire there :D #Monsterdon

You know what they say about guys that have penis shaped noses don't you? They shouldn't sleep on their face. #monsterdon #gojira

Cliche check in: Elder explaining a horrible monster of the past. Check! #Monsterdon #Gojira

#monsterdon if your copy is a bit dark I'm finding "gamma" rather than "brightness" helps bringing out the details without washing the whole picture out (too much, it still does a little) (Ctrl-E or Cmd-E with VLC)

@ashinonyx yeah, how does one get into #Monsterdon?

i think he'll do more than just eat people, ojii-san. #monsterdon

Back in MY day, we used to sacrifice girls to Gojira, and we liked it! #Monsterdon

stupid reporters trying to verify facts

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

but now, cow. #monsterdon

cows! moo. #monsterdon

I think this subbed version is also very poorly dubbed. #Monsterdon

Old people and women. They never listen to the old people or women...at their peril

#Monsterdon

So when do they say the line "Go! Go! Godzilla! OO OO OO!" #monsterdon #gojira

Old guy who remembers the old terrors: check! #Monsterdon

You know what I'm really not missing here? Some jackass voice over explaining everything going on. #Monsterdon #Gojira

MONSTER NAME DROP GO #monsterdon

"Not even small fry!" You kidding, gramps? You caught a whole dude a second ago! Long pig all around! #monsterdon #gojira #donnerparty

it must be godzilla

HE SAID THE LINE

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

I'll get you my pretty! And your little boat too!

#Monsterdon #Gojira

Actually wait there are no subs either so i'm just gonna have to go by vibes #monsterdon

People always manhandling the wounded, like hey I know how to handle a guy with broken bones -- rapid movement! >_> #Monsterdon

@paco don't forget to jostle his spine! jostle harder! #Monsterdon

@phoutz This is basically the post I was trying to type when autocorrect stroked out on me. #Monsterdon

Seems like lots of civilian panic in this one; in most other kaiju movies, the response is much more organized

#monsterdon

Yes. Two are not enough! Sink the whole Navy! #Monsterdon

masaji! you can do it, hang on! #monsterdon

@Telstar It's as if it's a real movie! #monsterdon

i love crotchety old dudes in japanese media

#Monsterdon

@jonny I love hearing the Japanese they're speaking, though my fluency is like 0.1% #monsterdon

(Also this is definitely going to be one of those movies where anything out of me here is going to be less 'riffing' and more 'general appreciation', because I mean DAMN.)

Still working on the bingo card though!

#Monsterdon

ANOTHER BOAT HAS HIT THE TOWER #monsterdon #gojira

#Monsterdon Is there coffee on that campfire? No. See what happens with no coffee? #CoffeeWatch

If I'm remembering correctly the entire series is based on actual fishing boats returning with massive radiation poisoning and having no idea what was going on because all the atomic testing that was causing it were top secret and no one knew they were going on or where. #Monsterdon #Gojira

matte matte matte

#Monsterdon

"...oh no! You sank my fishing boat!"

#Monsterdon #Gojira

BOAT THREE DOWN

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

frick i got subs not dubs for #monsterdon

Bingo-maru, Eiko-maru….wake me when they get to the Kobyashi-maru

#monsterdon #gojira #godzilla

Why only send two ships is the why don't you take a look outside after two other people went out to find out what that weird noise was and never came back #monsterdon

one weakness of the lighting and camerawork of the time is that it's really hard to tell the difference between daytime and nighttime for outdoor shots

nothing unique to this film though

#Monsterdon

When autocorrect goes absolutely apeshit and you just say fuck it and delete the post. #Monsterdon

uh, are they named the Eiko and Bingo because it's the A-ko and B-ko boats??? #monsterdon

ANOTHER BOAT IS ON FIRE!
#Monsterdon #Godzilla #gojira

Bingo Bingo-Maru. #Monsterdon

Was...was that lady with the glasses on the left breastfeeding? #monsterdon #gojira

Just a shipmate, an frigate lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh

[Chorus]
I'll send an SOS to Japan
I'll send an SOS to Japan
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my

Glasses: you get round clear or round black. That's it. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Where's Perry Mason to explain this in English?

these guys DEFINITELY have been in the water for HOURS at SEA and not hopped in TWENTY MINUTES AGO for filming

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

"The sea just exploded!" It'll do that, sorry champ. You knew the risks when you got in the boat. #monsterdon #gojira

feedreading and subreading is kinda hard #Monsterdon

@paco That little hat #monsterdon

I've seen it before so I just skipped to 6min in

#Monsterdon

Guitars. Chilling. Nuke .

That escalated quickly. #Monsterdon

Oh to be a man handing papers around a large table in elegant choreography, those were the days
#Monsterdon

i love the effects with the high contrast black and white. they are really effective i think. and the suit too (despite it weighing so much for the actor) #Monsterdon

BOAT 2 DOWN

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

BINGO~! #Monsterdon

The Bingo-Maru, huh. I think it's about to be marked off. #Monsterdon

I like how the map room here is CROWDED #monsterdon

#monsterdon off to a solid start with some screechy rage sounds and a fucking epic soundtrack, this slaps

the bingo-maru, where we kept all our best old grannies and their winnings. #monsterdon

A guitar abandoned. Humans fleeing from a source of their own joy and music because destruction and the ominous soundtrack attack their little fishing vessel. Maybe it's a lingering effect of Minus One, but it's easy to read symbolism of war beyond the obvious Godzilla parts into this to.
#Gojira #Monsterdon

Okay, someone just popped a nuke in a shipping lane? #Monsterdon

Fuck your orthographic plan map! North is at 45 degrees! You'll take it, and you'll like it! #monsterdon #gojira

Cancel culture #monsterdon

@jepyang one day i will understand enough Japanese that when i look away as if i can understand, i won't actually miss anything. today is not that day #Monsterdon

Tonight's #Monsterdon is the O.G. Nuclear Dino Lizard starting RIGHT NOW! :blobrainbow:

Follow along with the hashtag (or filter if you can't handle The Kaiju)

HARMONICA #Monsterdon

Budapest String Quartet, that boy’s got culture

#monsterdon #gojira #godzilla

Apparently I have the Criterion Collection after all, some historical explaining by a white-guy sounding person. And then I changed the audio track from English to Japanese and no longer have to listen to him. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon is watching the original Gojira. There's a reason why so many Godzilla movies try to either remake or recapture the tone of this movie. It's good.

I like goofy puppy Godzilla, but I also like screeching, stomping, menacing Godzilla. He's big, he contains multitudes

Our protagonist has 80s Anime Bad Boy Hair :D #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon forgot how hard it is to live toot a subtitled movie

So much for that boat. Man, they got right to it, huh. #Monsterdon

DISTRESS FREQUENCY #Monsterdon

Wow what an epic introduction

#Monsterdon

A Song of Fire and Water

#FirstDraftTitle

#Monsterdon #Gojira

This music ❤️ #monsterdon

Oh man, that shot of the dropped instrument. Oof. #monsterdon

and that's why you don't let the three stooges plumb your wireless set

#monsterdon #gojira

Wait, where's Raymond Burr? I was promised Raymond Burr! #monsterdon #gojira

#Monsterdon "Under attack. Can't retaliate. No coffee." #CoffeeWatch

okay, not two minutes into the movie and we've already destroyed an entire ship full of people. this movie is great. #monsterdon

Loving the opening "music" of metal-twisting monster-roaring industrial noise before it gets into the #Gojira (Godzilla) theme music. #Monsterdon ... and a beautiful sea shot, and then ship workers jamming. Oh, ship's on fire ... sank. That escalated quickly. Great musical opening!

Don't look at the flash! Jesus, man. #Monsterdon

Can someone read these weird magic runes that are running behind the credits? I'm frightened! SATAN! #monsterdon #gojira

I feel like there should be sea shanties pre-monster #monsterdon

they dropped the instruments they were holding and the music changed so you KNOW it's goin' down

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

Does this intro music remind anyone else of "This is Halloween?" :revblobfoxthonking: #Monsterdon #Godzilla #gojira

Coding - calm under pressure - the way Morris intended

#Gojira
#monsterdon

@Telstar Telstar and I are drinking hojicha and eating mochi #monsterdon

Boat! Suppose there won't be a sub in this one, eh #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon opening music goes hard

Ok we’e got a harmonica, that’s good

#monsterdon #gojira #godzilla
