1970s - all the ladies are always dropping the threads and jumping in the water.

#monsterdon

Time to test my theory about toplessness

#monsterdon

A beautiful waterfall? You'd be a fool to NOT get nude, killer bears who are definitely close by, be damned

#Monsterdon

why... is she stripping down to her underwear when they think there's a predator about? also why is her underwear different colours? oh never mind she got eten

#monsterdon

bloooood in the waaaaaater

and grizzlies in the sky

#monsterdon #Grizzly1976

oh I do love nature so much
I'm going to take off my shirt

#monsterdon

Lol, the bear was waiting in the sexy waterfall, as bears do...

#Monsterdon

The cinematographer is at least able to compose to a golden ratio. I'll give them that. #Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Wow. A timely warning and quick evacuation. What kind of horror movie is this?? ...oh boy... it's apparently one where they're going for dramatic performances. Viva 70s. #Monsterdon

Campers flee as they hear the news over the forest's PA system! #Monsterdon

"You take THAT to Washington!!!"

Why is he so aggressive with everyone? Is he the bear?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Jaws of the Timberline... da-dunnn da-dunnn.

Does everyone go hiking by running in terror across the woods?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Running low on extras!

@allanb they hadn't invented black people yet #Monsterdon

There's a lot of smoking in this film - viva la 70s!

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Wait, what happened. Did someone wake up and scream? I don't want to rewind.
#Monsterdon

In the other pane I have a much better movie: the live feed from Brooks Falls, Katmai National Park, Alaska, where grizzlies are gorging themselves on spawning salmon. Fat Bear Week isn't far away! Watch here: https://youtu.be/73-EekdVVU8

#Monsterdon

I thought caching food was a cougar thing, not a bear thing?

#Monsterdon #GoTeddyGo

Is this a good time for me to say I loved the end of Grizzly Man?

#monsterdon

They told her to roll her eyes in this scene just like when she read the script for the first time.
#monsterdon

“Go tell the family we’re probably not looking for a whole body”

#Monsterdon #Grizzly

that's a well-fed blood spring you've found right there young lady!

#monsterdon #Grizzly1976

I'll say this. It's night and they're shooting for night. That's one for Grizzly. #Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

mmmm. cherry cobbler.

#monsterdon

We're looking for half bodies, quarter bodies, 1/10th of a body. #monsterdon'

Bear shack is just a little old place where we can get mauled together,
Bear shack, baby, bear shack
Bear, baby, that's where it's at

#Monsterdon #Grizzly

Suddenly filled with the Three Little Pigs lol. #monsterdon

the rangers should know the park way better than that, doing surveys of game animals all season. if there were a risk of a normal bear attack due to a lean season they should have been able to give advance warning at the station. the real monster is the underfunding of government services #monsterdon

see the bear represents our subconscious fear of nature and the unknown, therefore it also symbolized our unconscious anxiety around our own mortality. in this essay i will #Monsterdon

That was the WORST bear attack sequence possible

10/10 FANTASTIC #Monsterdon

The light doesn't feel *that* late afternoon

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Flying arm? Bear shoots… bear scores!!

#monsterdon

We are then greeted to a (presumably) Bear's eye view as the probably titular Grizzly trots through the forest and snorts heavily with every step. Then it finds the flannel girl and brutally kills her with its Maul attack. I think she was the ranger, but I was actually wrong and she was someone else.

The other girl, now equipped with a pink shirt-bikini runs away, hides in a barn and is also bear murdered.

#monsterdon

Oh wow. First, gorier than I expected, with flying limbs and heads. Second, I actually did like when the camera went up to signify the bear standing on hind legs. #Monsterdon

Ricoooolaaahhh!
#monsterdon

'Do not shit in my woods!"
--The Grizzly
#monsterdon

That poor woman was made of paper mache and old rags. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976 wow that escalated quickly

Maybe if they take off their tops, the grizzly won't eat them. I mean, it could work.

#monsterdon

can you please let these nice lesbians make out in peace? please? thank you

#monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Oh, right. The 70s would be before eveyone would bring water bottles with them everywhere.

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

#monsterdon Little house on Playboy Mountain. LOL

lol "man vs bear"

Would prefer bear to cop

#Monsterdon

AND IT'S A BUTT JOKE seriously fuck off pig #Monsterdon

I'm here to see people ripped apart by an 18ft grizzly. Is it too much to ask to get to the carnage, already? #monsterdon

Is the pipe-smoking man the "We can't close the beaches" character? #Monsterdon

Well if it isn't dime store Hugh Heffner.

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

"Dad...you're destroying the business with your ideas, I'm here to take over"

#Monsterdon

The descriptively-named "National Park"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Going into "Grizzly", not knowing what to expect, assuming it's from the extended Super Troopers Universe

There's a lot of "Asman"s in the credits. I'm surrounded my asmen! #monsterdon

I can see my niece from here :D <3 #Monsterdon

I RENTED THE WHOLE HELICOPTER AND I'M GOING TO USE IT #monsterdon

lol, 'blond children at a public event'

Shit is going down, it's like bait to monsters...

#Monsterdon

Okay, they're flying over the woods. We get it

#monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

🐻🩸 TRIVIA BEAR 🐻😱

Not even expending enough creativity to name the national park.

#Grizzly

this chopper pilot is a maniac though, he's not in Vietnam any more, he think's he has to avoid radar!

#Monsterdon

So the bear is going to be the hero, and not just us rooting for the monster, right?

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

This stars nobody I ever heard of--since I'm a bad movie fan, may be a good sign #Monsterdon

Launching my #monsterdon thread for "Grizzly", a 1976 movie where a bear eats people. I think. I also think the premise might have been "Jaws but on land". I never saw Jaws, but I'm pretty sure that it had a shark that ate people.

Monsterdon is a thing where we watch old monster movies every week and make fun of them (usually). We make a lot of posts every time we do it; consider muting the hash tag if this sounds un-fun to you. Or join in next week, if this sounds fun to you.

And a lush string opening theme is not what I expected for a movie about a giant killer bear #Monsterdon

(bright hopeful music)

#monsterdon

Ha ha ha, titles come out of the hills like the opening to Airplane! :D #Monsterdon

actually, do we get to feed politicians to the bear today?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon is go mute the hashtag if you need a break sorryrunninglate 🐻

You're taking that senator awfully low.

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Girdler your williams, people

#Monsterdon

It's #Monsterdon time. Rolling!

Mute me if yer gunna.

Tonight's #monsterdon snack is brought to you by these store brand, fudge, toaster pastries.

They will be playing the role of the bear claw.

Just go with it. #food

It's time!

I'm beary excited! #Grizzly1976

It's time! Go! Go! Go! Jaws on land, etc.

A line of falling peaches. What a logo!

Ah, here we go, typical 1970s nature film documentary opening. Photobombed by a low flying helicopter.

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

So… is the concert footage just completely added in 2020 using film from an 80s concert?

#grizzly2 #monsterdon

YOU TAKE THE MILK FROM THE COCONUT

Am i still watching the same movie anymore?

#grizzly1983 #monsterdon #grizzly2

i am sure this is offensive to all accents and earholes Mr Rhys Davies
#Monsterdon

@diazona Besides the safety concerns, the band is just going to be in the way of the stage crew
#grizzly2 #monsterdon

Holy crap! It's Gul Dukat from DS9! Marc Alaimo

He kinda sounds like that cyclops in Krull.

@diazona

In the movie or in the grizzly?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Just joining, 2 questions:

1. Is this already Grizzly II?
2. Just how bad is it?

the score in this sounds like it cost more than the footage.
#Monsterdon

So, ladies, if you ever wonder what happens when the men-folk go camping, this is a pretty accurate re-enactment.
#monsterdon

that bear is going to be fuuuuuucked up when she eats those boozy hounds.
#Monsterdon

Put it in a memo titled "shit I already know."

John Rhys-Davies time baby!
#grizzly2 #monsterdon

I'm going to read for a bit. I'm in The Beak Of The Finch, by Jon Weiner. It's about evolution - finches in the Galapagos. Then I'm going to sleep and dream about giant finches attacking rednecks in the 1970s.

#monsterdon

So the post #Monsterdon stream on @miru is like Grizzly 2 the Revenge and Charlie Sheen and George Clooney and Laura Dern just got et by a Big Bear and Kai Winn from Deep Space Nine is putting on a rock concert in the forest and it is the most WTF thing ever 🤣

@SnoopJ #monsterdon

Wah! I was gonna say the first song sounded kinda interesting. Was trying to figure out what it was....

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093119/soundtrack/

Well, that was...fun? Anyway, thanks for another fine evening of movie watching. See you all next week #Monsterdon

@apLundell And then also ended the film without doing anything with the hackneyed romance plot, making not just the scene with the reporter's father pointless, but the reporter HERSELF pointless!

LAYERS

Summary of Grizzly 1977

Gobs of people in plaid shirts and blue jeans.

No fishing, but counting boobs for girl in underwear in waterfall.

Girl pooping in woods instead of guy peeing in woods. I'll give it half a credit.

tiny cliff.

Ranger station,

Tent's destroyed.
White pickup truck.

Did miss back shot of girl running, but I'll count it as a bingo. What I didn't expect was the bear blowing up!

Great job #Monsterdon !

Store-brand Donald Sutherland
#monsterdon #grizzly2

@jonny yes me too

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Sometimes conservation means exploding wildlife with military hardware. That's just the way things go. Could be a bear, a deer, or even your corrupt power-hungry boss. Just gotta enjoy it in the moment, knowing it's for the greater good.

i head out for two seconds and come back to bear carnage. Nice one film
#Monsterdon

If you'd like to know what a real killer bear story was like, and if you like reading Wikipedia pages, might I recommend https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sankebetsu_brown_bear_incident

#Monsterdon

(Warning for quite a few gruesome, real life bear killings from a hundred years ago including babies and the elderly)

@kcarr2015 It's a bearzooka.
