Isn't this sort of the plot of that Ray Bradbury story, The Foghorn? (searches online) Oh, it was written in 1951 and Wikipedia says this movie was based on it! #Monsterdon #TheBeastFrom20000Fathoms
Ohhhhh-Kay. I'm out. Thanks y'all, nite The Beast from 20000 Fathoms.
So fun. Waves of great creatures to battle, gods betting on humans, humans betting on gods. And an abrupt ending where they are all already out at sea. Thanks for the perfect palate cleanser @Taweret, @Cherizilla and @JoeWynne. See you all next week, #Monsterdon
"a spot absolutely uninhabited by white men" so like.....Brampton?

Fact check: there is a Marquette in Canada, but it's in Manitoba andβ¦wait, also, a franco-canadien would never say "zut alors"
I am seeing new faces at #monsterdon , which is awesome. I wonder if we should encourage people to tag their #FirstMonsterdon so we can wave and say hi and boost all their funny stuff.
Did I just hear a weed joke?
Oh, BTW, for #Monsterdon fans, this 19-year-old 240p video is a masterpiece compilation of all the Harryhausen creatures: https://youtu.be/U9kmjW73-v4
#Monsterdon
On reflection, I bet Harryhausen would have enjoyed the "Locked Tomb" books...

Bathtime fun with the little boat.
What's that paper thing he's looking at?
Masterful bone warriors. Masterful.
Thanks @Taweret and co. Good night! #Monsterdon
1950s movies: Assuming everyone can read cursive...
@moira @SnoopJ after getting off the gold fleece standard, there was a brief period of hyperinflation on the island before the skeleton army was able to assume control and institute a command economy based around manufacturing bone-based skeleton novelty items like spine string basses and femur drumsticks #monsterdon
RATTLE EM BOYS #Monsterdon
@YsengrinWolf @Taweret You werenβt looking very close at those pits. There was hair. Not a lot, but it was there.

Press X to Jason #Monsterdon

And in conclusion:
#monsterdon Witness, the firsr boy-bandβ¦
@allanb Over, and for once, I add "unfortunately," because that was fun all on its own :D
βOperation Experiment Study Observation Mission 5β
@Violinknitter lol, everyone is a thief or a mad god! #Monsterdon
the 6 words she really wants to hear
Oh great, more IP
@ramsey some stories say that because of all the treachery and stuff it lost its gold.
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts1963
I'm going to hang out in the background of this next film. Thank you all for a wonderful #Monsterdon. A million thank yous to @ryan and @Taweret
I scream, you scream we all scream for skeletons!
Good times were had by the skeletons
#monsterdon
Someone else already said it but I do approve of the monsters - Jason and his crew of pirates - fucking off into the sea
Thanks @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for the bingo, @JoeWynne for the trivia. And @paco and everyone at monsterdon central.
"Who knows what waits for us in Nature's No-Man's-Land?" #TheBeastFrom20000Fathoms #Monsterdon
@CactuarJoe 100% hydra and harpie score, weighted by screen time #monsterdon
Again, just throwing his shield, wtf, dude?
Turns out the real monster is nepotism.
Jason got fleeced but in a good way.
THE END
Sorta. This game of Risk isn't done yet.
Jason has just merely obtained the dependencies. He hasn't even tried to install himself into.power yet. TO BE CONTINUED dammit!
Thanks for hosting this epic #Monsterdon @Taweret I never get tired of Harryhausen's MAGNIFICENT works of art!
@CactuarJoe what do you think the 1 was for!!!! #monsterdon
*sigh* done with it, and not a single orgy. Not very historically accurate. This was fun #monsterdon
Still an excellent film, if a bit of a tease for a sequel to resolve the story that never came.
Zeus is all horny now after watching that shit #monsterdon
the Argonauts technically fucked off into the sea MID STORY! there is so much left out of the Argonauts story, tis makes it a truly successful Monsterdon movie.
well done gang!
Oh guys, I forgot how cool the skeletons wereβ¦
But you know what woulda made this better? A heroic Owlbear champion of Pharasma to fight the undead.
β¦
Just sayin' #Monsterdon
Underwhelming ending! #monsterdon
Ok, I guess this is enough #monsterdon greek mythology movies for this years, right?
Oh boy, I fear for tomorrow pool.
Oh wait I've seen that already. Gave it a 8/10 rating. So two good movies in a row on #monsterdon, unfathomable.
Ok, I confess I got distracted by Pokopia at the end there and didnβt watch or post with my full attention
Mea culpa etc. etc. etc. #Monsterdon
Well that was...
thanks y'all. Fun as usual. Have a great night. #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts πΏπ₯
So skeletons is this like a minecraft crossover or some shit? #monsterdon
@moira is it consensual kissing, not involving him? of course he's running away π
And so they sailed off into the sea! A happy ending, if you don't know the full story of Jason and Medea! #Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts (1963)
you just can't be mad at a movie that ends with an absolutely mad skeleton fight. A+++
#monsterdon And that was our last special effects sequence so the movie is over ... now.
So .. he does not actually get to complete his quest.
Go figure.
Hey, everyone, let's just stand here while that guy throws teeth around. Seems legit. #Monsterdon
They ended a story with Jason & Medea on a positive note? I call shenanigans.
And ... THE END. Somehow think Hera is less than pleased with Jason, though.
Oh, wow! That entire fight sequence with the skeletons was amazing.
Well that was fun, thanks all! Hadn't seen that one since I was a kiddo
The lesson here us that strength training is SO IMPORTANT you can't win a battle if you lack muscle tone #Monsterdon
Hera: βAlexa, turn off my TVβ #Monsterdon
Bless you, Harryhausen.
@b which roles would the Narns and the Centauri play in the Babylon 5 Jason and the Argonauts adaptation?
Just don't let Chronos get his hands on it⦠#Monsterdon
Now they're scuba skels
the skeletons fucking rule! long live the skeletons! fuck the gods! fuck the kings! only the skeletons! #monsterdon
Skeletons? What the fuck? That's now how it works. #monsterdon
The fighting skeletons are adorbs!
I don't care how cool it looks, you don't throw away your sword or shield during battle.
#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963
They call that army of skeletons The Boners.
Pretty sure animated skeletons can swim, my dude #Monsterdon
If I stab them, do they not bleed? Oh wait. #monsterdon
Ooo....he's throwing bits of the hydra. And like, those little microscopic critters in real life, you can cut them up and they all just grow back. #monsterdon
How did I not ever notice that cheerleaders are wearing Ancient Greek Fighting Skirts
lol, the one without a head!
Oh wow you can see how his sword is all dinged up
I'm not left handed EITHER! #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts1963
This is gorgeous!
#Monsterdon
Give up Skeleton, I have the higher ground!
The skeleton soldiers have krakens on their shields⦠kool Kool!
ALRIGHT IT'S ON :blobrainbow: #Monsterdon
For just a second I thought King Bouncy Beard was going to cry over the hydra like someone had killed his favorite rancor.
Screaming skeletons now? :blobdisapproval: #monsterdon
The Children of the Night⦠what lovely music they make!
β¦ Sorry, I channeled my inner Stoker for a second there. #Monsterdon
Love the skellies!
Of course bludgeoning weapons would work better.
skelly boys β€οΈ
#monsterdon
okay damn this some good skelly action
#monsterdon
ooo...the sweater woke up the chick and somehow she has bigger boobs now #monsterdon
lol! That scream and the sudden burst of speed made me snort laugh.
Shrieking like a little girl would also be my response to a gang of sword-wielding skeletons
Serious question, how does a skeleton monster scream without lungs?
did those skellys just... scream?
7 skeletons, one for each head?
Panning to the Argonauts for their reaction. Instead of surprise, fear, or determination, it's... confusion. Like: "hoo boy, this is a really tough math problem, how do I even approach it?"
#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963
They're just skin and bones... without the skin
Imagine this on the big screen! #Monsterdon
But let's face it, this is the scene we all came for, isn't it?
Go skelly warriors!
The. HATS. Are. Sending. Me.
