Having Hera whisper almost all of her lines to Jason is… a choice.

#Monsterdon

"Look to his ankles."

Oh is this a Tarentino film?
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Good foley work too. Nasty 'ol statue squeaks.

#monsterdon
Think before you waste the gifts of the Gods. Fuck yeah, Hera.

#monsterdon

Well, that went well!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Thank you for cruising with Hera Cruise Lines. Please enjoy your final excursion to shore.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

"Blame Hercules"

#Monsterdon

RIP the Going Merry. We're gonna need a bigger boat.
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts

When Talos moves it sounds the way I feel in the morning. #Monsterdon

you said nothing about giant animated statues, lady

#monsterdon

Wait a minute, that's not Hera, that's Lady Penelope! What the hell?!

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

That titanic golem redeemed itself. #Monsterdon

Big statue reaches down for the boat like I reach down to tie my shoes after a hard Leg Day Workout #Monsterdon

#monsterdon I have to admit this looks better than I expected it to. It's unsettling rather than purely goofy.

[metal creaking fades into the distance]

#Monsterdon

Welp, ship's wrecked, journey's over, time to go home!

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

The statue's empty eyes would def have given me nightmares if I saw this as a little kid

#Monsterdon

ruh roh #monsterdon

Also, Hercules, you've got some 'splainin' to do.

#monsterdon

He grabbed the boat by its Hera

#monsterdon
#JasonandtheArgonauts

Oh no, they've lost the Hera-head!

#Monsterdon

“I. Said. Don’t. Touch. The. Stuff.”
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon And then they drowned. The end.

Talios: “This isn’t H0 scale! And the decals are on crooked” #Monsterdon

I haven't seen this in years but boy I remember the special effects and my love of them
#monsterdon

Quick! Go under his bronze junk! #Monsterdon

Uh oh there goes the figurehead, how's Jason gonna call for help to Hera NOW

#Monsterdon

@moira Could have been worse: could have been Kevin! #monsterdon

Talos needs an oil can taken to all his joints.
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts

fuck YOU, fuck your BOAT, fuck your GODDESS, strong LETTER TO FOLLOW

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Ya done fucked up, son!

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Maybe boats work this way? I don't know, I'm not a boatologist.

#monsterdon

Oh, dear, so much for the strongest ship ever made.

#monsterdon

Noooooo my toy boat! #Monsterdon

ope, apparently not. RIP sailors.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

You lose a lot of rope and ladders with those kind of escapes #Monsterdon

Hercules, you're a bit too scrawny to be moving that door...oh shit he did it. #monsterdon

Y’all, this is the once in a rare while when we’re watching a movie that’s kinda sorta good! #Monsterdon

I like the foley work with Talos.

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

is having to view Talos from under the crotch enough of a punishment?

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

"I fart in your general direction"

"Nooooooo...."

#monsterdon

So Jason set out to only tale the best.

I feel like he should've picked the brightest. #Monsterdon

By the Nine Divines!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Oh, so this is why Talos IV is forbidden.

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

Heh. It's the sTaints of Gibraltar :D #Monsterdon

"The secret is that we film the background first and then reduce it to such a degree that when you rephotograph it with the model, it gives this gigantic perspective and size!"

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

See, Hercules is not the hero of this story...

He's made of bronze! Get the bleach! Make him corrode!

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts

At least they're well hydrated now

#monsterdon
#JasonandtheArgonauts

#monsterdon Abs (and everything) of bronze, the workout that's sweeping the land of Greece!

@rdm

Always keep your statues properly lubricated!

#Monsterdon
#JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Psych! Full paddle astern!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Poke him in the girders!
#Monsterdon

And this is where the Collossus of Rhodes came from right?

#Monsterdon

That's a colossal obstruction. #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts1963

Jason’s like, “Shit, Hercules! What’d you do this time?”

#Monsterdon

Look up. Look waaaaay up! #Monsterdon

You absolute fools.

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Noooooooo not the taint!

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

TITANS! On a more intellectual note, the Titans are badasses because similar entities exist all across indo-european literature, including the Jötunn in Norse mythology. #monsterdon

Now we just have to get through this narrow channel. Oh. Nuts.

#monsterdon

@Crazypedia Hiyooo!!! LOL #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts 🍿🎥

@nev exactly what he just said on the commentary track!

#monsterdon

whoops #monsterdon

okay I'm gonna need some of these guys to either put shirts on or leave the movie to get waxed and then come back

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Allright!
The Harryhausing starts!

Row away! Row away! #Monsterdon

I honestly expected more from a guardian set by the gods. Oh, wait, there it is, n/m. I underestimated it. #Monsterdon

I love the creaking metal sound as Talos moves.

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Shinjius get thee into the Evageleus or Hercules will have to fight the Golem on his own.
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts

more Black Hole noises in this soundtrack than I would've expected but I guess everybody has their influences

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

@nev the statue rocks, the statue animation rocks, the statue sound design rocks #monsterdon

Talios: “And STAY out!! Oh, and dead” #Monsterdon

What a delightful metal golem. #Monsterdon

Run away! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon The scale here is crazy. Those urns would be totally useless if those pearls are to scale with the owner!

@Taweret yeah per the commentary it's supposed to be the real Herc, who didn't leave when he would have left in the myth, for narrative purposes

#monsterdon

The jerky, unnatural effect of stop-motion looks spectacular with things that should look jerky and unnatural, like a living statue, and Harryhausen uses this as much as possible

#Monsterdon

Hehehe awesome!
Statue challenge you to a dance off come back!
#Monsterdon

“Oil can! Oil can!”

#Monsterdon

Colossal butt cheeks. #Monsterdon

like he threw the discus to the island so I guess he's supposed to be the actual Hercules but also that seemed really lame for Hercules so I don't actually know

#monsterdon

That ... is not a woman. But Hercules did find it. So, partial credit to that argonaut. #Monsterdon

Hercules trades a perfectly good bronze spear for a bronze broach pin. #Monsterdon

this foe IS beyond all of you #monsterdon

Giant stop motion pissed off statues. PRIME HARRYHAUSEN, now we're talkin'. :D

#monsterdon

Just saying, if I knew half a dozen demigods who exist just because Zeus was horny, I might think twice before stealing anything from Talos' altar.

#monsterdon

"JAAAAASOOOOON WE FUCKED UP WE FUCKED UP SO BAAAAAD" #Monsterdon

@Taweret@timeloop.cafe It's one of those classic paradoxes, right? Can Hephaestus make a door that Hercules can't open?

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Talos big, Talos mad, Talos big mad, time to get fucked up

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Attack of the stop motion titan. Run away. But, like, slowly. #Monsterdon

Is that the wind too? How about that? And that? #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts1963

by talos this can't be happening

#Monsterdon

Gee, didn't Starcrash rip this bit off?

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Oh no y'all fucked up

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

I have little confidence in this Hercules could he even throw ANYTHING into orbit? #Monsterdon

"It must have been the wind!"

statue:

#Monsterdon

oh yeah, definitely the wind, you bloody Skyrim guard.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

CUE THE RAY HARRYHAUSSEN
