We are now in out semi-erotic interpretative dance portion of the film.
dance break!
An Orion?!?
Stop making advances. She already said she goes another way. #monsterdon
@jivens hee hee "Mutinus" xD
Ladies & gentlemen & enbies, your solid Colchis dancers. #Monsterdon
Is that the same girl that was painted green in the ST:TOS pilot? She looks familiar.
She DEFINITELY goes another way #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts1963
#monsterdon
Yeah! More writhing!
More dancing? Well I guess the movie has been lacking in dancing for the last hour.
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts
After sailing through the strait, we find a survivor from the last boat, and because the survivor is a hot girl and the boat has been a sausage fest for the past few months, like six guys jump off to swim to rescue her.
As she recuperates under the awning-with-holes-in-it, she explains she's Medea and she was trying to sacrifice flowers to the clashing rocks so their boats could pass and also that her people worship a golden fleece and she'll take them to her city.
was that an actual corset???
I would have liked to see Medea curse somebody before we left her
dude treats a healing flower like it's nothing exciting
"We have a flower in Colchis that heals and soothes."
"Really? In Greece, we have one that causes abortions."
Tomorrow I'll show you my flower :bloblewd: #Monsterdon
β Technology NOT unlocked: any interesting magical insta-healing plant
The sun is getting higher - and Jason is getting LARRRRRRRRRGER
"Euphemus!"
"I barely grazed y'all!"
#monsterdon
On second thought, inviting Mutinus aboard was a bad idea..
Quick burial at sea.
βEuphemus, we will miss you so much, even though we knew your name for only this 60 seconds of film time.β
Cue the Oompa Loompas.
Is that a euphemism for something?
#Monsterdon
Euphemus! Euripedes! Eupayforthese!
A mutiny is a terrible thing. Und I think it's about time we had one! #Monsterdon
did he just bitch-slap him with a bit of net
one of the more enjoyable "what the fuck is going on" scenes in recent memory
On the goooood ship Argonaut...
Who dis ho? Girl, you done got saved by a boat load of gay men. #monsterdon
Mop vs spear!
#Monsterdon
Goddamnit! We just got the Argus back from the detailers too!! Geico is going to rape us! #monsterdon
So this is, what, the ISS Hera? Seeing promotion through assassination?
Bringing a harpoon to a net fight. Rookie mistake. #Monsterdon
Their swords sound like dumping a bucket of chains into another bucket full of chains. #monsterdon
Now a mutiny? Aboard this bountiful ship?
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts
#monsterdon Deus Ex Mackerel
That is Honor Blackman (from Goldfinger) as Hera. #Monsterdon
Pretty skinny arms for sword fighting #monsterdon
#monsterdon
I kinda don't blame Acastus for attacking Jason. He has been an awful captain.
βThe fewer who go, the less to get caught,β said Jason who added under his breath, βand the fewer to disobey my instructions.β
Mmm, wonderful sword clashing sounds compared to most we get (if any).
A good way to have a quiet end of journey is to imply that your crew member wants to murder you. #Monsterdon
Is this the same Jason from two days ago? He seems to have the same knack for surviving danger.
"I think you'll try to kill me!"
"Nonsense! I'll kill you for that!" #Monsterdon
"What a bunch of clowns, my people have nothing to fear from these fools."
OK, so the foley sword work is a bit weak.
What has that girl done to you?
We thought you were a fighting man.
A manly fighting man, a man, fighting manly!
"We're not pirates, Phaleros." Right, they're sneak-thieves. This is going to need a smaller team. [Ocean's Eleven style split screen starts]

βNah, my Javelinβs in the shop, Iβm stuck borrowing my dadβs Gremlinβ #Monsterdon
"What's the fewest you can think of?"
"One, of course"

Everyone in Greece in the olde days, spoke received English pronunciation. History fact!
#Monsterdon
That priestess is the Yoko Ono of this journey. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon The good: This is a lot more anatomy than I would have expected from an early 60's sword and sandal fantasy flick.
The bad: It's mostly a curated tour of the worst of dad-bod.
"What that girl done to you! I thought you were a fighting man!"
"won't be any trouble"
the entire movie so far says different.
Angry at the gods, we throw the necklace Phinneas gave us, and because Hera is messing with things, it turns into a giant merman, probably Poseidon, who holds the rocks open so they can row through under his armpit.
We can file this under "plans that wouldn't work normally."
The fleece is the GOAT #Monsterdon
Six months in a leaky boat... Six months...
"We'll put you ashore tomorrow, and perhaps you can show me the way to the city. Maybe we can grab a coffee. You guys got a Starbucks?"
Going to sacrifice flowers? I think the gods may want something a little more... lively
#monsterdon In modern times we have whitey tighties. Back then it was Greece-y Teensies.
"We'll put you ashore tomorrow, then we'll steal your peace and prosperity!"
"Jai-sonne? What kind of name is that?"
Mmmm smells like ambrosia!
Hecate! She's a witch. #Monsterdon
It's King Triton! Goddamnit....this isn't the Little Mermaid....that's Dutch and not Disney #monsterdon
If Colchis is at the end of the world and no human can get there, how does the lady know about Thessaly?
"Pull until your hides crack and your backs break!"
Then a fin splashes.
#monsterdon
"Thessaly! But that's the other side of the world! Or at least the Mediterranean!"
βNo ordinary Ram. It has a hemi and a lift kitβ #Monsterdon
He had to take her clothes off to find out if she was a man. That way he would know if he should offer him a job. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon itβs sure nice her makeup is perfect after being pulled from the sea
βI am being rescued from a watery grave, but I must look HOTβ #Monsterdon
"_They're_ being looked after. _You_, we're going to torture."
Poor Herc, having left before they found Greece's only surviving woman
#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963
Flotsam! Jetsam! And a hot broad!
Letβs get out of here: no antiperspirant! π· #monsterdon
Sausage party no more!
#monsterdon DIVE DIVE DIVE
everybody in the water! (apparently)
"May the King Fish pitts fill your sails...!"
#monsterdon OM NOM NOM, I just love ships-ahoy cookies.
Hard to tell whether the gods are helping or hurting you, TBH.
The arrival of our heroine, Deus Ex Mariner #Monsterdon
I hope we don't have to see Zeus doing his "golden shower" impression in this one.
#monsterdon It must be frustrating using a pool of water as a monitor. Those ripples would drive me mad.
@nev Yes! There is, famously!
Poseidon had the decency to wear Old Spice, unlike Hercules. I'm just sayin'
How can Zeus know what he says when they watch Jason TV on mute so often? #Monsterdon
Finally, our leading actress shows up as Medea!
The rocks falling make Argus soil his undies. Hope he packed another pair. #monsterdon
@trixter Probably smells like haddock. #Monsterdon
The tail was a nice touch, though.
