The air force is doing an impressive job of firing on the shrubbery just ahead of the creature. #Monsterdon
@paco There are taxis #monsterdon
The British Raymond Burr has an American accent for some reason. #Monsterdon #Gorgo
@diazona I think the circus guys would be the love interest but they don't deserve it #monsterdon
Oh no don't tell me we are borrowing the ending of the Magnetic Monster #monsterdon
So how many killed because you didn't want to close a circus act? Thousands?
#Monsterdon
"SHUT UUUUUUP!" #Monsterdon
"and before we die......I've always loved you." #Monsterdon
Didn't they just say to "switch on full power"? Then, why did that lever highlight the words "shut down." :blobfoxthonking: #Gorgo #Monsterdon
points for the crowd immediately stomping him to death #monsterdon
day for night, never works
I like how it was a dramatic reveal that the Prime Minister is going to get involved. Was he not involved before? What was he doing?
#monsterdon
@jonny The only woman I actually noticed is Gorgo's mama
None of the men were particularly distinctive either TBH, except the kid
Repent! The end of the film is nigh!! #monsterdon
Maybe there wouldn't be so many smashed buildings if you quit BLINDING GORGO'S MOMMA BY SHINING SPOTLIGHTS IN HER EYES!
love - LOVE - the ultra-chunky knobs and switch lamps
Random gratuitous 1 second 10 Downing Street shot. I think the PM is aware dudes
@funkula ....and then not so much. #Monsterdon
I believe the death of the βrepentβ guy is a tiny allegory about the usefulness of religion in a crisis. In this thesis I will
swisha, foopa #monsterdon
"not a single woman was in the cast. women only appear in the crowd scenes. Even #Gorgo's mother was played by a male actor!" #monsterdon
if they'd fire real missiles and not fireworks at gorgo's mom this might go faster
Wait, did I just see Larry the Cat? How old IS he? #Monsterdon
@Telstar
Strong union
is it the 2 million, 3 million volts, or the <undefined> current that is dangerous? #monsterdon
Stock footage to the rescue. This is England's finest hour #monsterdon
RIP Apocalyptic Sandwich Board Guy #Monsterdon
What do you mean it's been turned in The Ark of the Arts?
I have never been gladder to see a sandwich guy trampled to death #monsterdon
#Monsterdon And where is Torchwood in all this? Right, @RamenCatholic?
i love how happy the "the end is nigh" guy is, he's been right all these years
Who organizes all those REPENT guys so that they can always show up on time to a monster? #Monsterdon
"the end is nigh" yeah, about six minutes away, judging by the time stamp on this movie. #monsterdon
Repent guy is having the best day of his life #monsterdon
there is just enough time remaining to shoehorn in a romantic subplot with one of the two women who had a single line in the movie, but not enough time to return the kid home to his ruined home village #monsterdon
Toy planes! toy planes! #Monsterdon #Gorgo
That reporter: Itβs shite. Itβs all shite. Everything is shite! #Monsterdon
You take back what you said about the Blitz, mister! #monsterdon
Common mistake... Gorgo is not the monster, it's the monster's kid
the time remaining in the movie suggests that all will be resolved by releasing the baby gorgo but there will be no lessons learned by the circus guys #monsterdon
"The whole of London's electric power has been directed to the wires!"
Now we just need to load in the experimental proton cannon and get Shinji in the robot! #Monsterdon
thereβs no telling where this thing will turn next. Iβve never looked at a map of london before #monsterdon
Using vast military assets and throwing away hundreds of lives to preserve a much smaller amount of profit. Sounds about right.
#Gorgo #Monsterdon
look, you can use all the stock footage you want but without some masers or a psychic teen girl, you're pretty well fucked here
@yatsu ooh ooh ooh kaiju as the next Doctor's Companion
Is it really true there are elephants and Gorgos too in Picadilly Circus? #Monsterdon #Gorgo
Good crowd evacuation detail!
this reporter's gonna die
Welp, nine minutes left, how are they going to wrap this film up? #monsterdon
@chirpbirb it's gorgin' time
@Kinetograph I think this is one of those things where it's about the journey rather than the destination
it's gorgoin down
Yikes, that actually looked like a crowd trample/crush scene that was realistic (on the stairs).
who had "Fucking off into the sea" on their #monsterdon bingo card? #Gorgo
Oh the HUMANITY! :blobastonished: #Monsterdon
"We'll be alright" He says carrying the kid he should've listened to in the first place. #Monsterdon #Gorgo
#monsterdon 2 million volts! How did he know? Is that a thing you prepare for?
oh dang blitz reference and here I am keep not making one
yeah, we'll be fine, Sean, London sewer water never hurt nobody. :/
#monsterdon
He tried to save your silly skins, but you wouldn't listen to him #monsterdon
oh no the monster destroyed london's famous "Gorgo" sign
Sucks to be finally right and then be stamped to death
#Monsterdon
I need a circus clown, or a kiss or hug for bingo #Monsterdon
@diazona Gorgo the Time Lord. #monsterdon
I like how disciplined the fleeing crowds are #monsterdon
@cheribaker Trying to curry favor w/ the tories, no doubt
@yatsu Maybe Gorgo's species has time travel powers so they can go back and destroy the same building over and over again
Huh, soundtrack sure thinks the planes are gonna do something. #Monsterdon
See they wouldn't have so much panic and traffic problems if they had a better transit system to move all of these people.
(and yes, I am aware London has a quite good one)
thanks to the newscaster, there's a #monsterdon audio feed in the movie! @Taweret were you inspired by the newscaster to start monsterdon? :D #OriginStory #monsterdon #Gorgo
And fuck this building, and fuck this building and ESPECIALLY fuck this building... #Monsterdon #Gorgo
#Monsterdon Roll Stock Footage!
"Piccadilly circus? There's no telling where this monster will turn next!"
Why he'll stroll down the street for a show! #Monsterdon
I wish Gorgo would stop screaming.
#monsterdon
Street Fighting Reptile #monsterdon
Some of the extras are like THIS IS MY TIME TO SHIIIIIINE! #Monsterdon
Maybe they should give the creature a map so it doesn't trample all the buildings trying to find its destination. #Monsterdon
i do like how *crowded* the crowd panic scenes are in this, due to narrow streets etc #monsterdon
@arisummerland I thought there was a tea kettle earlier, or at least people were talking about it π€·
#Monsterdon I'm glad Piccadilly had a GORGO poster. Otherwise, I'd be confused.
Sean watching #MamaGorgo flattening London and grinning like"Burn baby BURN!" #Monsterdon
@RufusJCooter Gorgo's gigantic ears make me think the creature feels the need to compensate for something #monsterdon
@Louisa oo, nice catch
The Who must be playing
By destroying the clock, Gorgo's mother takes a symbolic stand against the tyranny of society's expectations. She's β Oh yes, she also crushed a bunch of pensioners. Quite.
Well, she *is* still a giant sea monster.
The creature is headed for Nando's Peri Peri! Oh the humanity! #monsterdon
Sean like, Yeah, Gorgo, Fuck 'Em Up. :):):):) #monsterdon
"We'll be alright, Sean!"
Yeah, sewer water is good for you. #Monsterdon
i love the kid looking at momma gorgo like "yeah. get 'em. :)"
the two white guys who got us into this mess are tooootally going to get us out of it. :ms_rolling_eyes:
The ear wiggles are a nice touch
@trixter usually we put them in open courtyards and shit but big ben is like right next to buckingham palace and so gorgo must have had some arrangement with the crown. edit: wait no that's westminster abbey. so an arrangement with parliament. #monsterdon
@yatsu It should have learned its lesson the first time. #Monsterdon
GODDAMN GOPHER TUNNELS! #Monsterdon
@CactuarJoe It's important to consider attacks by gigantic amphibious sea creatures when planning a city. #MonsterDon
oh hey itβs the ringtone from Crank #monsterdon
that stripping the top floor off the row building was quality model work. nicely done.
Maybe you could try, you know, releasing their child from circus you torture them in? Just thinking outside the box
#Monsterdon
Kaiju actor having fun smashing London landmarks, but feet likely pruned from wading in knee-deep water all day.
