Oscar Night Connection

"Some people say Citizen Kane (1941) or Casablanca (1942). I say 'Jason and the Argonauts' is the greatest movie ever made."

- Tom Hanks, when giving Harryhausen the Gordon E. Sawyer Award recognizing his contributions to the film industry at the Oscars' Science & Technical Ceremony in 1992

#JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

If you don’t want riddles and mysteries, why ask an oracle? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon god damn bbq got out of hand! ow ow ow!

Ohhhhh ASHES. I thought it was steaming manure. Scatnomancy, lol

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Right away, that they could afford actors both on the cliff and the beach below would indicate a higher budget than typical #monsterdon fare.

This charcoal guy is now a science advisor in the Trump administration. #monsterdon

The film grain is strong with this one. #monsterdon

King of the gods of the Greeks, which is us, the Greeks, just to be clear.

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Zeus as king of the gods of the greeks implies you can get *fun* bits with bringing in other pantheons

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

BERNARD HERRMAN YAAAAAAYY

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

it's been mythology march at #monsterdon

Okay that's an impressive establishing shot, with the perspective and the beach below.

Some serious cinematography to get us started.

#monsterdon

There are art history majors which are *dying* right now to tell you what ceramic style they're referencing.

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts

that was very bombastic

#monsterdon

I choose to believe that was a drawing of Zeus canoodling

It wouldn't be proper ancient Greek legend without it

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

@MatthewTitus88 Wait! We're supposed to be high for this? Dammit! I have have are cold cuts. #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts 🍿🎥

Banned from Argo...

i believe the year this came out, Harryhausen was granted a lifetime achievement award at the oscars

#monsterdon

Friday the 13th: Jason goes to Greece #monsterdon

⚡ TURN DOWN YOUR LIGHTS ⚡

(this means you, Zeus)

#Monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon #thebeastFrom20000Fathoms

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?

#Monsterdon

«Un sea-monster?? Ciboire de câlisse de tabarnak!»

#Monsterdon

Fact check: there is a Marquette in Canada, but it's in Manitoba and…wait, also, a franco-canadien would never say "zut alors"

#Monsterdon

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?

#monsterdon #thebeastFrom20000Fathoms

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.

#Monsterdon #Wrongzilla

What's that paper thing he's looking at?

#monsterdon #thebeastFrom20000Fathoms

Masterful bone warriors. Masterful.

Thanks @Taweret and co. Good night! #Monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf @Taweret You weren’t looking very close at those pits. There was hair. Not a lot, but it was there.

#monsterdon Witness, the firsr boy-band…

@allanb Over, and for once, I add "unfortunately," because that was fun all on its own :D

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

“Operation Experiment Study Observation Mission 5”

#Monsterdon

Oh great, more IP

#Monsterdon

@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

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

#monsterdon

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

Again, just throwing his shield, wtf, dude?

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Turns out the real monster is nepotism.

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts

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!

*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.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Zeus is all horny now after watching that shit #monsterdon

Oh guys, I forgot how cool the skeletons were…

But you know what woulda made this better? A heroic Owlbear champion of Pharasma to fight the undead.

…

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 didn’t 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 🍿🎥

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 😛

#monsterdon

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)

#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.

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

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.

#Monsterdon

the skeletons were neat

ty for joining, everyone!!

#monsterdon

And so they fucked off back to Thessaly.

Thanks @Taweret for hosting!

#Monsterdon

And ... THE END. Somehow think Hera is less than pleased with Jason, though.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Well that was fun, thanks all! Hadn't seen that one since I was a kiddo

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Hera: “Alexa, turn off my TV” #Monsterdon

Bless you, Harryhausen.

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts

Just don't let Chronos get his hands on it… #Monsterdon

Now they're scuba skels

#monsterdon
#JasonandtheArgonauts

Skeletons? What the fuck? That's now how it works. #monsterdon

#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.

#Monsterdon

Pretty sure animated skeletons can swim, my dude #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

I'm not left handed EITHER! #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts1963

Give up Skeleton, I have the higher ground!

#monsterdon

For just a second I thought King Bouncy Beard was going to cry over the hydra like someone had killed his favorite rancor.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Screaming skeletons now? :blobdisapproval: #monsterdon

The Children of the Night… what lovely music they make!

… Sorry, I channeled my inner Stoker for a second there. #Monsterdon

Love the skellies!
Of course bludgeoning weapons would work better.

#monsterdon

skelly boys ❤️
#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.

#Monsterdon

Serious question, how does a skeleton monster scream without lungs?

#monsterdon

did those skellys just... scream?

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

7 skeletons, one for each head?

#Monsterdon #JasonandTheArgonauts1963

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
