So the bear has psychic powers? Seems he likes to thrash his victims back and forth rather than attack directly #Monsterdon

There was not enough time between perfume application and that murder for me to make a joke about perfume attracting murderous misogynist bears. #monsterdon

So he only kills white women?
The bear is sexist??? Whut.
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

@jonny He is an alegory for the nake sexual predator. Or the filmmakers had a lot of trouble with freudian stuff
#monsterdon

@hollie@social.coop The only perfume I'll wear while camping is Calvin Klein's Obsession, because I'm hoping the mountain lions will keep the bears at bay

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

So, that bear has several levels in rogue, right?

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

This bear has been drinking, and they have *horrible* taste in brew!

#monsterdon #grizzly1976

I was almost asleep. Well done, movie, well done.

Because no kids have yet died in this movie, we switch to a forest party where a bunch of children are singing "I've been working on the railroad" while adults kiss each other heterosexually nearby.

Then the adult woman decides to check her makeup while the adult man drinks a bear. Then the woman is murdered by a bear and everyone screams.

I was expecting the children to also be mauled, but I guess they were lucky.

#monsterdon

Pleistocene reference! #Monsterdon

No actual research and fact checking required for this film. #monsterdon

Guys, it's the NAME of the MOVIE. Definitely it's a grizzly.

#monsterdon

There's a dedicated community of bear-watchers who follow the various camera feeds from Katmai and can tell all the bears apart and follow their escapades over the season. There are bear fan-cams so to speak. https://youtu.be/dSgCj_HCIT4

"It isn't a big brown. It's a grizzly." Wait I thought brown bears and grizzlies were the same thing. How many freaking types of bears can there possibly be in North America.

typing noises

Aha! National Parks Service: "Brown bears, also known as grizzly bears…"

#Monsterdon

Careful lady - a little bear pheromone goes a long way ... and there she goes, flying through the air.

Rigor mortis set in before she hit the ground though. Stiff as a mannequin.

"Is she really dead?"

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

#Monsterdon That cumiuple looks expendable.

#monsterdon Arctos Ursus Horribilis Very Very Bad No Goodus

that was what, 5 seconds from tent destruction to...whatever that was?

what _was_ that?

what was that even supposed to be?

#monsterdon

Shot composition? What's that?

#Monsterdon

he got granny!

#monsterdon

i do like to think that if i was grabbed by a monster pleistocene-era grizzly bear, that any partner i may have at the time would be smart enough to get the hell out of there, and not just stand there like an idiot screaming.

#monsterdon

AWESOME!
#Monsterdon

I have no idea what was happening in that attack.

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

At most he only gets like one or two bites per kill. Poor thing must be starving. #Monsterdon

So, the bear is a best from a million years ago. neat
#monsterdon

Bear 4, people 0

#monsterdon

Aha, the helicopter pilot is played by Andrew Prine, who was also in The Town That Dreaded Sundown the same year. #Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Ok, that woman putting on scent in the tent really is asking for that

I don’t know why she got put in an Exorcist hold though #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976 and thus she must be punished

hehehehehehehehehehe tent bear demands blood!
#Monsterdon

how is it that this terrible campfire singing can exist in the same movie as the jaunty opening theme

#Monsterdon

the editing there made very little sense

#Monsterdon

I'm not sure what the term for the especially-children variety of misanthropy is, but I hope it ets some damned kids. #monsterdon

NEAT!!!! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976 ma'am everyone can see you preparing for sex night through the tent

Schlitz drinker must die!!!!!! #Monsterdon

So they ran down the mountain and then setup a jamboree camp at te foot of the same mountain?

They deserve to die.

#Monsterdon

Look, human nuggies (the bear; about the kids; probably) #Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

#monsterdon "How dare you shoot at me! I was just in the forest, on all fours, wearing a deerskin! ...making...deer noises..."

That guy looks an awful lot like some guys I've seen in some bars around here...

#Monsterdon

Maybe it's just a really FAT bear #Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie 😆
#Monsterdon

The 70's were just hornier (and oiler) times
#monsterdon

... the Hell was that face?

#Monsterdon

A million year old grizzly? Is this an immortal vampire bear!?
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976 what does a 2,000-lb 15-ft grizzly bear call a bunch of kids at camp?

tapas

oh shit i found waldo and I REALLY DID NOT WANT TO

#monsterdon #Grizzly1976

I don't believe I've heard that much wrong science since …

Wait, never mind. Not gonna get political.

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

"Weird Al" better survive, or I'm gonna riot.

#monsterdon

Not sure if the science on bear sizes there is accurate, but it's probably not that far off.

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

this is what happens when you don't bother with bear boxes!

#monsterdon

Aaaaah, so we’re in The Meg territory with this Grizzly. #monsterdon

Oh here we go. Dinner buffet. #monsterdon

This is reminding me I was gonna reserve a camping spot in Shenandoah for my birthday in a couple weeks.

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

oo, are we gonna eat the children now? wonderful.

#monsterdon

You called the bear master in, and then you’re going to question everything he says?

Make it make sense #Monsterdon

Scott should throw that sandwich at the bear.

#Monsterdon

All my ecologist friends know that bears have patterns #Monsterdon

#monsterdon I know that the bear is 15 ft. tall because of the claw marks on the tree. Bears can climb trees, dumbass.

#Monsterdon 🐻 🧸 🐻‍❄️ 🐻 💞 😱

"It wasn't a big brown, it was a grizzly!" <-- um, in north America, brown bears === grizzlies.

Why is this bear only going after white women? It's racist... or sexist!

#Monsterdon #Grissly1976

So this is Meg but for bears?
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Bears wear vertical stripes, but only if they plan to stand up a few times that day.

A whole lot of this movie revolves around the idea that it's weird for bears to move around. #Monsterdon

Grizzlies ARE brown bears wtf? #Monsterdon

Ain't no grizzlies on this corn dog, no siree

#monsterdon

That bear weighs over 4 times what I do.

#Monsterdon

"It's a grizzly."

Kodiak, technically.

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Those kids look like an all you can eat buffet.
#Monsterdon

If you ain't a big bag a grits! 😆 #Monsterdon

@secretlybatman That would be strangely logical for this movie

#Monsterdon

At least fifteen feet and weighs a ton? You’re gonna need a bigger boat. Er, helicopter. #monsterdon

a bear twice the size of bear, it happens

#monsterdon

The bear just needs a girlfriend. He's...confused. I *think* we know what to do with our biologist! #Monsterdon

That animal cape looks so ridiculous I can’t even

#Monsterdon

GRIZZLY SEASON

DUCK SEASON

GRIZZLY SEASON

DUCK SEASON
#monsterdon

Our D&D druid wannabe almost gets shot.

"It's a grizzly!" And there's the movie's title.

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

#monsterdon To make it fair for the bear, when pursuing it with a helicopter you must provide the bear with a Sopwith Camel.

Why is the helicopter landing music the loudest thing in this movie?
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

and so our throuple finally meets.

#monsterdon

Scotty is going to do something epic before the end of the movie, just you wait and see!

#monsterdon

Jaunty music as the bear bounty hunters roll up #monsterdon

Grizzly Man (2005)
#monsterdon

Damn. It wasn't a bear. It was fucking captain caveman.
#monsterdon

Lost footage cut from the film!

#Monsterdon #Grizzly

This murderous bear movie could have been an email.

#monsterdon #grizzly1976

He's wearing a bearskin to show he's *extra* crazy.

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Radical idea, find the bear and call in a napalm strike. #Monsterdon

Yep. The river runs red #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Suspenseful helicopter landing music..

He's not one of ours. Must be a communist bear. #Monsterdon

rangers just out here profiling these bears and guys that look like bears, pulling them over for no reason #monsterdon

Baby?! You're supposed to be looking for a bear - no wonder you're having problems! #Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Hooray. 70s sex talk in the sky. *sigh*
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

wait you're telling me bears _don't_ shit in the woods?

#monsterdon

If you keep cosplaying you're gonna get shot. #monsterdon

Helicopter pilots are famously excited about landing in random clearings

#monsterdon

Chopper has returned. My interest is faltering.
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

I’m not sure of the timeline, but I think we’re now on day three? Waiting for a mayor to show up and tell us we need to open the park back up for the revenue.

Also unclear where exactly deer-pelt-man is. How long does it take to hike back to the ranger station? #monsterdon

just thinking about how good Grizzly Man is while I'm waiting for this helicopter sequence to end

#Monsterdon
