🐻🩸 TRIVIA BEAR 🐻😱

Ranger Gail, who gets fully undressed before "soaking her legs" searching for a killer bear, was unsurprisingly August 1976 Penthouse Pet of the Month and 1977 Penthouse Pet of the Year. So in Bear parlance, "nuggets".

MOVIE TRIVIA: Grizzly was released 1 year after the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show and is essentially the same film, but with a bear instead of Tim Curry

We next have an autopsy scene, where Doctor Mustache theorizes that the campers found a bear cub, got too close to it, and then this made the bear mother mad, and she murdered them.

This hypothesis is wrong, but there is no way for Doctor Mustache to know that we are actually dealing with a Fearsome Murder Bear.

Jaws came out the year before and was a huge hit. This is a low budget attempt to ride the big scary animal trend

#Monsterdon #Grizzly When my Dad was a mortician in Anchorage, one of his "clients" was a guy who had been backhanded by a brown bear. Just stood up out of a berry patch & smacked him, no claws. The front of his skull detached along the sutures and moved a couple of inches to the side. 🤢

Meanwhile the other park rangers are doing a thorough search for the other missing person, like one of the ones where you get like a squad of guys to comb the woods. Anyway, they didn't find the body yet and its night time. Ranger Girl is searching for places to take photos at, even though its at night. I guess she has a night camera or something.

Anyway, then she trips on mud and lands on the Flannel Girl's body, then screams in Abject Shock.

Next favorite part: they're not dicking around with a lot of in-between stuff. Time jumps from the murder to the search to the discovery of the body to the bear-hunting posse.

Next, the girls have decided to go camping because this is a park; and I think the Ranger Girl is in flannel because she's a lumberjack and/or bisexual.

Something startles them, and the audience expects it to be a monster, but its actually the ranger whose name I don't care about, who is riding them a horse and telling them to be careful. Thanks Ranger-Forgot-Your-Name! That's good advice in a horror movie!

god I LOVE 70s dialogue. Before the horror hits, they signal normalcy by everyone being nice to each other. Today it's always F words. For those of us with foul fucking mouths.

Why does this intro look and sound like the start to the Bob Newhart show, but one where he slaughters his guests?

Look the helicopter was really expensive so we're gonna use the fuuuuuck out of the footage from it.

I am putting Grizzly on but once again I am still in the middle of all the crap I can only get done on the weekends (working tomorrow, of course).

With you in spirit! 🐻

That thing about the park ranger's wife in Yellowstone in 1978 or so was true. She was attacked by a bear while jogging, and they just let people right on in. I remember somebody saying she was menstruating and the bear smelled blood, but I don't know if that was true.

What? The photographer actress, who disappeared was a screen writer for a ton of soaps, plus "She co-authored with David Sheldon the sequel to "Grizzly", which was filmed in Europe with George Clooney, Laura Dern, Deborah Raffin, Louise Fletcher, John Rhys Davies, Steve Inwood, Deborah Foreman, and Charlie Sheen. The production was not completed and the existing footage was pieced together crudely and released in 2020." Heck! #Monsterdon

As much as I want to do Day Of The Animals, I'll be voting for Food Of The Gods because I think it's about aliens eating people, and I need a break from animal horror. We've done a lot of it this summer

working on an ethics application on Monday morning while seeing the Sunday night vibes of #monsterdon come through the fedi is enough to induce jet lag without even having to travel 🤣

One last post: Grizzly 2 looks AMAZING and I would never have known it existed if not for . I wonder if SBIG has ever done this one. ...and now I want a beer.

Someday they will invent the denouement. But not this night.

Well that was certainly a movie about a normal bear! The amount that was done through offscreen/POV work was HILARIOUS. 😂 Goodnight #monsterdon and thanks to @Taweret for hosting and @ryan for streaming so I don't have to be neurotic about time syncing!

#monsterdon That's how you're going to end it?

Nobody did anything clever.
None of the side plots were resolved.
Even the romances didn't go anywhere.

They just shot at the bear until they hit the one and a half hour mark.

Well I was right about racist-slur-guy dying, at least. Weird that his insides were made of red paint.

why did the most annoying person in the entire movie survive?

We go back to our helicopter and spot the Murder Bear, we decide that it was "programmed like a damned computer" and also that it was returning to the scene of its crimes for unclear reasons.

We start strafing it with the helicopter, but the helicopter doesn't have guns or rockets or other fun helicopter murder toys. We lose the bear and then find it again.
