FACT: 85% of monster disasters are a direct result of capitalism. #Monsterdon

The kid in this film is a 1000 times less annoying than the one in most Toho films. #monsterdon

I wish I had the gravitas to point at people with a pipe #monsterdon

stand up straight tan suit guy!!!!! you can't run a town with your belly thrust out like that #monsterdon

WHO THOUGHT THESE CLOWNS HOW TO THROW? Are they from some alien planet where throwing is some kind of lost martial art?

#monsterdon #gorgo

Interesting. Godzilla Minus One paid tribute to that deep sea fish turned inside out idea. #monsterdon

trivia: there was an official gorgo comic book, drawn by Steve Ditko— yes that Steve Ditko, co-creator of spider-man #monsterdon

#monsterdon #gorgo Okay, the movie starts with some sailors on a boat arguing about how long they get to scuba dive for. It turns out that they are scuba-diving on a sunken U-boat, like that scene in Finding Nemo where they meet some sharks that decide fish are not for eating.

Then a thing surfaces and its... a VOLCANO? What? Why?

Anyway, their toy boat starts shaking and gets splashed and will probably fall over. This movie gets +1 star already for having a toy boat.

#Monsterdon Godzilla? Japanese names. Gorgo? Uhhhh. Frank King. LOL.

Gone with the Gorgo. #Monsterdon

oh yeah Gorgo right? like, an hour into Gorgo and my wife could't quite tell if this was actually supposed to be an allegory for Irish-British political relations or if it was just like, an accident that it portrayed that. no one talked about this either in a quick search, seemingly, outside of r/Ireland on reddit at some point.

NEWBIE!

@bunnyhero @kcarp @jonny @msh OMG for the longest time I thought that was a typo, I just got it 🤦

Well done

#Monsterdon

@floatybirb @jonny True, when we watched The Day of the Triffids from just a couple years later we saw there were lots of female-looking individuals with names, so we know they existed in Britain then #monsterdon

That was a surprisingly satisfying movie actually. I mean yes it was bad in an objective sense, but that meant I didn't have to care about anything except that Gorgo and mom were fine and London got smashed.

Thanks as always @Taweret, excellent choice

#Monsterdon

i also liked how they realised they had like 10 minutes of plot so they just kept shit exploding as much as possible

#monsterdon
#gorgo

Excellent #Monsterdon! Until next week!

Other than big momma, there really was a distinct lack of any female characters in that film, wasn't there?

#Monsterdon

and yes. it was quite convincing

#monsterdon #gorgo

That was fun! A+ floppy ears, would fuck off into the sea with again. And think of the lack of women this way: At least we were spared creepy “romantic” subplots. Thanks for hosting, @Taweret ! #Monsterdon

@aburka 😂👍

#Monsterdon

no morgo

#monsterdon

Great job team #monsterdon and thanks always to @Taweret for hosting <3 !

#monsterdon
#gorgo

@SnoopJ @Newpa_Hasai I think you could make a low energy particle accelerator with 4 MV

#Monsterdon

I had a little tranquilizer in the beginning of the third act and now I'm on the verge of tears over Mother Gorgo #monsterdon

@Taweret And I say this with love, because bad movies are my kink. #monsterdon #gorgo

Thanks @Taweret for hosting #Monsterdon

And a proper kaiju THE END. No Denouement for you! Thanks everyone! For a blatant rip off that one had a lot going for it. Thanks again also to @Taweret for hosting! #Monsterdon #Gorgo

That yell means "I'll bloody well be back" #monsterdon

God bless us, every one. #monsterdon

"They're going back now. Fucking off into the sea." #monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai Maybe a positron or two, nothing bigger #monsterdon

[X] Fucked off into the sea

Yay! Good end!

#monsterdon
#gorgo

Stern letter to follow. - Mama Gorgo. #Monsterdon #Gorgo

Now FECK OFF Y'LIMEY BASTARDS and LEAVE MY KID ALONE!

#monsterdon
#gorgo

Back to the sea! #Monsterdon

✅ fucking off into the sea #monsterdon

Oh hey, we got our first good Fucking Off Into The Sea in MONTHS, huh? Nice! :D #Monsterdon

family reunion! 🥹 #monsterdon

Poor baby Gorgo is screaming for his Mama while she's being electrocuted. :blobfoxgooglycry: #Gorgo #Monsterdon

those arent even british air force fighter jets they keep reusing footage of

also the director allegedly made a personal cut of the film with no scenes of gorgo's mom fighting the military because he didn't want that but the producers did lol

#Monsterdon

omg they even put a repent sign guy now that's a relic #monsterdon

Some real nice switches in that power station #monsterdon

#monsterdon While the Royal Air Force bothers momma #gorgo, the army people decide that their best plan is to build a giant electric fence using all the power in London to electrocute the angry giant lizard. I would be impressed if any city could pull a giant electric fence together this quickly under any circumstance.

It doesn't work and Big Gorgo just knocks the wires over, but good effort I guess?

A true Brit would abandon the elderly #monsterdon

The shots of Gorgo's mom smashing things behind the Gorgo billboard (and then smashing the billboard itself) are pretty nice, I gotta admit

#Monsterdon

@Taweret if nothing else, you'd think UNIT could lend a hand. #Monsterdon #Gorgo

You'd think, given the Blitz and all, more Londoners would think of running into the Underground. #Monsterdon

@howler0502 just leftover UXBs from the Blitz
#Monsterdon

i wish the music was anywhere near as good as the visuals tho

#monsterdon

Hey, I feel like with Gorgo's Mom coming to rescue her baby we could call this week MOM-sterdon :blobfoxwinkmlem: Get it? MOM-sterdon eh? Eh? Lol #Monsterdon #Gorgo

I love that every single gunshot MUST have a loud rootin-tootin wild west ricochet sound effect to go along with it

#Monsterdon

Honestly I’m impressed with the ability kaiju have to intuitively understand which human buildings have the most cultural significance. #Monsterdon

lmao at the guy shouting "Repent!!! Repent while you still can" The time is nigh #monsterdon #Gorgo

if i was the circus guys i would be packing my bags and fleeing for the hills right about now before everyone finds out that you were responsible for the loss of like all major landmarks in London #monsterdon

Gorgo Sr. was just really tired of the clock chiming https://sunny.garden/@forestine/111754979427291288
#Monsterdon

These are some... Unusually explosive row houses. Has someone been storing fireworks in their living room in downtown London? #Monsterdon

Keep calm and free #Gorgo #monsterdon

"Let my Gorgo go!"

#monsterdon
#Gorgo

Oh, I get it. THIS is why this kind of dense, mixed use urban planning is illegal in the United States. #Monsterdon

So much for Keep Calm and Carry On

#Monsterdon

little japanese kei trucks with missile batteries on them. 👍

@Bluedepth

PA: Mr. Producer, sir, we failed to reserve the necessary costumes.

Producer: Dammit! Just clean out the warehouse! Bring whatever they have! I bet this never happens to Honda!

#Gorgo #FreeGorgo
#Monsterdon

i'm so excited to see these fireworks missiles

#monsterdon #gorgo

Yes, we're going to blame Mom and not the missles for Big Ben. #Monsterdon

Shout-out to everyone only now learning the proper pronunciation of “Thames”. #Monsterdon

So, the River Fhlames, is it? #Monsterdon

Atomic weapons are out of the question in any built up area. [pause] Tanks, of course.

💣

#Monsterdon

You'll not get 2024 London evacuating like that, not after COVID #monsterdon

@cheribaker Looks more like the Cuyahoga River, that one time #monsterdon

"A civil emergency for all within three miles of the River Thames. Also, there's a giant monster in, so be on the watch out for that as well."

#monsterdon
#gorgo

Oh no not the nets, if she can get through the nets then what hope is there

#Monsterdon

It's times like these when Tokyo-ite in all of us comes to the fore. #Monsterdon

I like the boat siren that sounds like someone saying "vvvvvvttt! VRUUUUUUTTTTT!!!"

#Monsterdon

Imflammable means flammable? What a country!

#monsterdon

okay, they've reused some footage at least 3-4 times now of exploding barrels, we get it

#monsterdon #gorgo

they didn't bring masers

they don't have a psychic middle school girl

and they think they can defeat a kaiju smdh

#monsterdon

I've got a little song about stock footage! Da da da da da DA! EAT IT, MOVIE! - Tom Servo

#Monsterdon

Sam is drunk AF, but I also agree freeing Gorgo is the right thing to do. #Gorgo #Monsterdon #FreeGorgo #JusticeForGorgo

he'll be alright, i've punched him before. #monsterdon

can't believe this movie was released in 1961. either it's epic for it's time or quality has gone down tremendously these days

#monsterdon #Gorgo

I honestly love that the recon plane seems to be a PBY Catalina #Monsterdon #Gorgo

Your hubris will be your undoing, Admiral. #Monsterdon

Momma Gorgo's milkshakes bring all the boys to her yard

#Monsterdon

@Bluedepth
Fun fact: I am an official Jameson taster 'cause I can taste the difference between Jameson, bog-standard Scotch, and 'American whisky' (cheap Jack Daniels).

Ireland is fun! I want to go back, and never return to Merica.
#Monsterdon

some really nice shots in this tho tbh

#monsterdon

"This is the 20th century!"

Yeah! We don't give kids BACK! That's a 19th century thing! #Monsterdon

look if they had learned anything from the baby gorgo they would just be skipping the battleships and trying to get their hands on the biggest net in the world right now #monsterdon

"No living thing could escape. It's certainly been killed."

DON'T

YOU

BEEEEEEELIEVE IT #Monsterdon

did no one think to bring masers?

#monsterdon

We have stock footage! I repeat WE HAVE STOCK FOOTAGE #monsterdon #gorgo

Where is @blogdiva ?

There are political issues here that need to be addressed!! And name-calling has a noticeable gap today.

#Gorgo #FreeGorgo
#Monsterdon

"You mean there's another one of those things out there?"

Why, yes, having an infant usually means bigger parents are out there.

#Monsterdon

hootin' and hollerin' for mom #Monsterdon

LET'S GO BIG MOM #monsterdon

@forestine The kid is okay. Except for being a kid. #Monsterdon

I like Gorgo's big floppy fin-ears. Makes him look like a dog fish lizard. #Monsterdon

Free the #BabyGorgo ! #Monsterdon

MOMMA GORGO IS HUGE LET'S GOOOOO

#monsterdon #gorgo

all these adults are insufferable. Im hoping for a Grogo/little kid alliance to win the day
