Ok, Herc. It's time to give the hairpin back. #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts 🍿🎥

Oh Star Trek shakycam, is there nothing you can't improve :D #Monsterdon

Thoughts notes on the Argo in this movie

it looks extremely cool.
it uses two rowers per oar, which I would be strange for an ancient Greek ship in either the bronze or classical era; they normally had one rower for oar and just added a silly number of oars.
with the walkway in the middle, I think it's a bit wider than most greek warships would be.

Talos needs some WD-40

Talos is going to flash them...

#Monsterdon

Worst upskirt ever.

#Monsterdon

Please no more shots of the old man in the diaper, from any angle #Monsterdon

Ah - Gibraltar origin story.

#monsterdon

I think this encounter might be SLIGHTLY above your level, chaps. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon 200 men on the ship go on, 100 couples come off it… ;)

It's pretty early for them to fuck of into the sea isn't it?

#monsterdon

Talos with the bad knees. #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts 🍿🎥

The Big Bronze Statues are EXCELLENT :ablobcatrave: #Monsterdon

Excellent claymation! That statue is Awesome.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

One does not simply steal from Talos. #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts 🍿🎥

Hercules is kind of a dude/lad/dick in this film #Monsterdon

That's what I sound like Monday morning.

Yeah Talos, go smite some foo's

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Uh oh... what was the one thing Jason said! Shesh! Some folks just don't listen. #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts 🍿🎥

Your big mouth Hercules...

#Monsterdon

Herc, ya doof

#Monsterdon

Yes it's easy to confuse a javelin with a brooch pin, what with them being the same size and all

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Uh oh - someone's going to want to fill his pockets… aw drat, nobody has any pockets.

#monsterdon

@Lazarou Oh I hope so

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Holy moly, look at those pearls! (or, alien eggs)

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Wonderful camera depth trickery. #Monsterdon

I have a feeling we are getting close to some classic Ray magic
#monsterdon

Ah, Talos, which inspired the Iron Golem in D&D #monsterdon

*bleats in protest*

#monsterdon

this is why you're not supposed to take anything, the gods get real mad if you fuck with their minis

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

My animation sense is tingling.

#monsterdon

Hey! Herky! LEAVE THEM KIDS ALONE! #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts (1963)

I feel like the parts of Greek myths that are like "our wonderful voyage was marred when we went ashore and my men did some bullshit I told them not to do" are likely to be grounded in historical fact

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963 please tell me they're gonna have to fight this dude

Oh that's a Harryhausen statue right there. #Monsterdon

"or thirsty"

*makes bedroom eyes at the goats*

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

"Goats? What do you want with goats aboard ship?"

*coughs*

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

@allanb
Talos?

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

This movie not only has a boat in it, but that boat seems to be a full-sized galley, which is extremely cool.

Boats are neat.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Five days, no water, time to set the sail!

Jason's next calling upon Hera for help: "Great queen of the gods, could I talk you into maybe getting rid of the brass section at the back of the boat? They're really, really loud."

#Monsterdon

Anyway we got some beefcakes to drive our ship so we need a ship, and luckily we find a shipwright named Argo who has just built a galley that Jason immediately takes over and names it after the builder.

Also the figurehead is on the stern and is a head of Hera with blinking eyes so it can give advice I guess.

#monsterdon

I bet for sure someone takes something other than food and water and there are consequences. #monsterdon

@TerryHancock Hera-hausen

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Statues open their eyes. Jason and the technicolor acid trip. #monsterdon

so is he actually Hercules or just a guy named Hercules?

#monsterdon

What if SHE wanted you to stop Hercules?

#Monsterdon

"Your entreaty to the Gods is very important to us. Please say by the statue and a representative will be with you in the order in which your prayer was received...."

Why is the steersman rowing with the rudder??

#Monsterdon

"I'll steer - now, where's the wheel?"

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

There's kinda a lot of diapers in this movie. #Monsterdon

@Binder She's such a fujoshi.

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

There's always pee
#Monsterdon

Every underdog story has the 'coming together as a team' montage.... #monsterdon

Creepy Hera always watching those sailors do nautical stuff at night. #Monsterdon

I like that they remembered that Hercules sailed with the Argonauts after he completed the Twelve Labors, which makes him older than the others. Plus he's wearing his lion skin!

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

I gotta say this for this movie:

1. It's kind of a refreshing change of pace to see Hera NOT being a vengeful bitch, and

2. I also kinda like that Hercules is actually kinda older? This Herc's got some salt-and-pepper going on.

#monsterdon

And we use the term "sailing" loosely on this ship. it's more like rowing until you drop

#Monsterdon

MEN! MANLY MEN, IN THE FULL BLOOM OF THEIR MANLINESS! #Monsterdon

They did some good work on that ship.

Finest ship or Dodge pickup? #Monsterdon

I have found the finest crew in all of Grease, and we will sail on the Greased Lightning!

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

wait, where's orpheus

#Monsterdon

This set was a barge that they built the boat on top of. They didn't use the motors during the shoots, but they were "great to get us home at the end of the day, of course!"

#monsterdon

Hylas, if this whole adventuring thing doesn't work out, let me introduce you to Ultimate Frisbee

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

#monsterdon
Hey guys, I know I recruited you for this sea voyage but I haven't built the ship yet..

That's the most ram-shackle boat I've ever

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Damn that sheep looks mad #Monsterdon

And Hylas and Hercules lived happily ever after. The end.
#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

See, this is why there are humans. To keep the Gods entertained.

Brains instead of brawn and they choose the discus huh

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

#monsterdon The good ship Lollipop!

I win tiddlywinks!

#monsterdon

That discus didn't achieve escape velocity. I'm not impressed.

#monsterdon

Discus?

No thanks I already ate.

I'm starting to worry Jason isn't going to throw anything into space

Athletes... wearing clothes?!? Ewww...

#Monsterdon

After this meeting, Pelias' son is like "y didnt u kill him" and Pelias answers "i dunno that would probably doom me because of gods and prophecies and shit, but if i give him a boat he might get lost forever on the ocean and get eaten by a mermaid or something.

where's the synchronized swimming competition?

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

After rescuing him, the big bad (Pelias?) pretends to be someone else, shows Jason his cool camp with its dancing fanservice girls. Jason is like "yo im supposed to be the king here but first i'm gonna go find a shiny sheep and then come back and do a revolution against evil!" and Pelias is like "k, u should go on a boat ride to do that and get out of my hair"
