now we've reached the Cephalosexy Tentacle Pole Dancing portion of the movie

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

RADIOACTIVE CALAMARI is the name of my next fire eating synchronized aquatic mambo italiano band

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

that monster is just full of assholes

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

OHAI!

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

thank you all for the #monsterdon shenanigans; especially our fearless leader @Taweret@octodon.social and our fairy #monsterdonBingo oddmother, @cheribaker.

twas AWESOME!

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

a lot of non-consensual sucker flashing in this movie.

btw: check out the octopussy's eyelashes.

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

nah... they wanna get the brain cuz the calamari money is in the tentacles. gotta leave those intact

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

#Monsterdon how did they have a meeting without smoking?

NO, CONSENT IS UH PRETTY RELEVANT DUDE

#Monsterdon

so Harryhausen totally wants us to feel moist with this movie
#monsterdon. #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

SHE'S A MANIAC
MANIAC
FOR
YOUR
LOVE

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

IT'S CEPHALOPODS GONE WILD!!! now with 100% more ship humping!

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

How many are we talking about here? 30-50 octopodes?

#Monsterdon

That's John Carter of Harvard, not to be mistaken with John Carter of Mars

#Monsterdon

am gonna call these guys radioactive beekeepers

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

it's THE BLOB but underwater 🤔
#monsterdon. #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

i have never seen such lack of melanin since Children of the Damned

#monsterdon. #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

My headcanon is that Joyce spends this movie trying to decide if the men are annoying enough to override her inherent horniness.

TENTACLE PORN!

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

Cetacean Sexual Harassment wasn't in my bingo card either

#monsterdon. #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

#Monsterdon A new breed of woman. Thats what you go out on? I can imagine the angry click clack of heels on tiles as the lady folk walked out of the cinema after this. New breed of woman!

#Monsterdon A military man, his lover, and a chatty beard that won’t stop mansplaining, or smoking.

Those are pretty serious flamethrowers though!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon She’s like the Answer desk in Airplane 2. Should I fake my orgasms? How fast is a cheetah? Can I find pearls like yours in the gift shop?

I can only assume the final 20 minutes of this movie will just be a long line of men taking their turn apologizing to Joyce. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea After an awkward dinner scene in which learn that BUTTERED LOBSTER is the passcode to unlock a woman's libido and also that the male scientist guy possibly wants a threeway, we rescue the cargo boat people, give them an exaggeration and then call them liars for reporting a giant squid.

Joyce is sent in to extract information from the most prominent sailor via her womanly charms. This movie is a weird otome game.

smoking at a hospital, breaking patient confidentiality... yeah. this is USA USA USA medical protocol from the country that doesn't believe health care is a human right.

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

We skip scenes to the ocean, so we can watch Seymour eat a cargo ship. Or maybe just hug it too enthusiastically. RIP first toy boat of the movie.

Anyway, I didn't expect the see the monster that early.

fucker wanted to get rid of the best scientist cuz she's a lady?

checks out.

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

Humming "In the Navy" by the Village People. #Monsterdon

Always so silly to see actors walking forward in flippers. You wanna take an awful crack to the head? That's a one-way ticket!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea starts with a love letter to the atomic submarine, one of my favorite genders.

We then transition to some 1950s military banter between a submarine captain and a submarine lieutenant. Unlike the arctic movie with the crashed UFO and the vampire vegetables, the dialog was not filmed at x500 speed so it is possible to understand them.

Once again, we open on the power of the Atom!

#Monsterdon

My final commentary on the 1950s attitudes tonight. #Monsterdon

So this ends in a threesome right? Right? It has to be that or she dumps both these weird guys and leaves the country. *sigh*
#Monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

Pete... he better be dead. all that water in his lungs gonna make him, at the very least, a head of cabbage.

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

your puny torpedo can't do nothing to my fabulous lashes

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

#Monsterdon that octopus can move quick if he wants to. So that means that when he was moving slowly, it was romance. He was romancing the… Presidio? ;)

#Monsterdon someone needs to recite the Call of Cthulhu. That’ll help. Ia! Ia! fatagnh!

#Monsterdon you can always spot Harryhausen’s artwork. It moves in a very specific way. Little staccato jiggles. Even the bridge model shows it off. It’s super wonderful to see.

my ex used to call me Thunder Thighs

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

Golden Gate bridge, you say? That sounds like a CITY LANDMARK to me. Go for it, Octobuddy!

#Monsterdon

we set it off... ELECTRONICALLY!

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

❌ Giant enemy crab
✅ Hit its weak point for MASSIVE DAMAGE

#Monsterdon

Octopus prefer their prey (shark) live. #Monsterdon

I'm surprised that SMOKING isn't on the #MonsterdonBingo card. It's been a while since we've had a smoking scene in this fashion!

#Monsterdon

BTW i guess Ava Gardner was too busy pretending she was an octaroon to be in this movie

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

"Who knows what's really happening in Sibera?"

Let me tell you what pal, BINP in Novosibirsk is absolutely POPPING OFF at this time. Out of their gourds with ground-breaking accelerator physics. Your grandchildren will speak of it in hushed tones.

#Monsterdon

I dearly hope that no cephalopods were harmed in the making of this movie.

#Monsterdon

what other movie did we see this creepy blonde guy recently?

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

#monsterdon Cool fishtanks.

I guess that's how marine biology is done? Lots of bubbling tanks?

COFFEE!

#monsterdon
#monsterdonBingo
#ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

son wants to pull out but he ain't the one with the giant tentacles 🤨

#monsterdon. #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

Loving this subplot

#Monsterdon

watery Star Wars scrolling titles

#monsterdon. #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

And #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea is done! I give it a rating of "eh...".

Pros:
toy boats
cute evil octopus
sufficient submarine scampering
horny

Cons:
mostly boring
mediocre characters except for the scientist lady
rip seymour
horny

Thanks to everyone for another #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

Toy boat battle sequence as our toy submarine HARPOON TORPEDOES Seymour and then gets grope slapped. The boat captain decides to do some heroics to defeat the giant tentacle monster but fails to entertain the audience.

We then have to send the professor dude, in hopes that his weird pipe harpoon rifle will defeat, or at least seriously annoy the cephalopod menace.

whenever the octopus wasn't on screen all of the other characters should have been saying "where is the octopus?"

#monsterdon

three near-misses, at least

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

John likes to watch 🤓

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

"Well, I guess that's it."

You said it, pal. No #MonsterdonBingo for me, and a fairly drab ending.

Good evening y'all!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

Seymour starts demolishing coastal buildings and smashing panicked pedestrians; I'm not sure if this is because he's hungry, bored or full of hatred for all that lives.

The military decides flamethrowers are the correct answer, probably because some of them came back from Japan recently and wanted some Takoyaki. Seymour decides he hates fire and crawls back into the water.

#Monsterdon Uh, taking a nap? Your air will run out.

#Monsterdon aqualung. LOL.

OH! no breaded calamari, only al Forno.

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

#Monsterdon This octopus is horny. It wants love. Love from bridges, shipping containers, port authorities, warm pavement.

This movie is *wild* for helicopters, man.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Fire! Fire! Johnny! There’s a fire in the barn! We have a lot of ammo and we’re just blowing up random spots of ocean for laughs.

there is not one whole butt among these 4 unmelanined techbros 👀

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

VIKING OCTOPUS? or should we be calling it SAAMI?

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

#Monsterdon We tried to draw the monster by being naked and romping on the beach. That didn’t work. Has anyone considered smoking on the beach? Naked? Romping!?

Benevolent sexism at its finest

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

Fishus Interruptus

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

#Monsterdon Wait. They are on a mission. Not a beach romp. God damn the costume department was run ragged. Jacket! Robe! Jacket! White! Robe! Now!

That right there is DAY FOR NIGHT

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

ASTORIA? like, in the Q train?!?!

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

#Monsterdon telegrams always amuse me. I read the stop as just another word. Send help stop. Stop military intelligence stop. Stop stop. Staaaahp.

These fellas are on the side of the giant octopus apparently

#Monsterdon

I heard that people complained about the sound in this movie. I see what they mean, considering the bong rips this scene is set to.

#Monsterdon

wait, did i just hear Ms. Scientist Joyce say that some fish have their own geiger counter?!?!

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

I'm also counting those BUBBLES in the tank!

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea our submarine goes back to the submarine house at Pearl Harbor, and some Properly Protected Scientists investigate the giant monster chunks stuck in the submarine. One of them is a girl who teaches school; the other two are not yet memorable.

We try to name the monster and fail; and just decide to keep calling it IT. I'm gonna call it Seymour.

so this movie is to sell USA's presence in the Pacific after the war, isn't it?

#monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea Apparently the underwater mystery object is radioactive, which is making our geiger counters tick. We try to un-submerge the submarine, but it doesn't work so I guess we're sending people outside to... um... demolition charge the monsters. Not sure if demo charges can melt radioactive tentacles.

schematics are not part of the bingo card?!?!?

i am disappoint

#monsterdon. #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

#monsterdon. #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

@Louisa Seriously, Harryhausen, you've got some 'splainin' to do. A whole ass movie about a giant octopus, and not one ink squirt?1?1

For shame, sir, for shame.

#Monsterdon

@Taweret So what if we were to complete the "It" trilogy with "It Came from Outer Space" (1953)....

#Monsterdon

This movie almost feels like Harryhausen saw Godzilla the year before and thought, "I can do better." But the non-octopus parts of the movie are very much, no, no you can't do better with this picture.
#Monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

Anyone else notice how the narrator who wouldn't shut up during the entire first reel just kind of fucked off for the rest of the movie? I mean.. good riddance, but I wonder if they ran out of money for the voice over or what? #Monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

Professor guy rescues the submarine captain and our submarine detonates the octopus. Then the news guy thanks our heroic first responders and Joyce decides to kiss the submarine captain instead of the professor guy, who might like to watch anyway.

How does one sex an octopus? Is it the only other woman in this picture? Will we pass the Bechtentacle Test?
#Monsterdon #ItCameFromBeneathTheSea

Even in a crisis, nobody loses their hat. #monsterdon

@SnoopJ I can't stop laughing at this because imagine being at the drive in trying to get to third base with all those upset-guts sounds coming through the speakers #monsterdon

Somebody should sign that octopus to a recording contract, it's got quite a set of vocal chords. #Monsterdon

leave the octopus alone!

#teamOctopus

#monsterdon

I absolutely cannot believe nobody has fired a gun at this octopus yet.

#Monsterdon

Americans could take lessons from the Japanese on how to run away from giant impending menaces. #Monsterdon

the octopus is so much fun to look at tho

#monsterdon
