seems unlikely nobody has yet to give it a name...

#Monsterdon

Why is this crew so eager to fight?

#Monsterdon

Oh hey you have a golden fleece? Can I like... have it? It's a pretty important deliverable for this project. #monsterdon

🎵 Musical Appreciation

In this film, Bernard Herrmann did not use any strings. You heard only woodwinds, etc.

But afterwards, in Psycho, he only used strings.

REUSE, RECYCLE Part 2

The costumes for tonight's feature were reused from the Spartan and Thespian costumes in 'The 300 Spartans' released the previous year.

#JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

We're down to one twink, Jason. This isn't a good start

#Monsterdon

Hylas, you were supposed to be the smart one....

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963 this was the 1963 version of luke swywalker taking down an at-at with his lightsaber

Lefty loosey Jason! Lefty Loosey!

#monsterdon

LEAD HIM TO THE ROCKS

"And what will you do?"

Oh, I'm hidin'

#Monsterdon

this is a wonderful confrontation #monsterdon

Is Jason going to tie his shoelaces together?

#monsterdon

"Ack! What's Ancient Greek for Ctrl-Z?!"

#Monsterdon

REVERSE ABANDON SHIP!
#Monsterdon

Just leave herc and his side twink behind, they don't even make decent eye candy.
#monsterdon

I don't understand any of that wind-up

#Monsterdon

"Take food and water, nothing else."

"Can I take a look? Can I take my time? Can I take a chance?"

"That's enough, Hercules"
#monsterdon

This feels very much like a trap, treasure chambers usually are...

#Monsterdon

really amazing that boats are one of those technologies that have been absolutely reliable.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

I like how Jason comes up with a complete nonsense plan "I'm gonna get a golden sheepskin and that will cause a revolution!" and follows it up with an almost as zany plan "I'll tell all the famous heroes in Greece about the golden sheepskin and then they'll join me because of how cool that is!" and so far everything is working according to plan.

#monsterdon

She totem what to do

#Monsterdon

what in the fuck is that. do not leave that animatronic snake babe on my ship #monsterdon

Wait… you don’t even have a ship yet?!

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts1963

Couldn’t avoid a third Hercules film, I guess #Monsterdon

well hello there Euphemus… 😽

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

#monsterdon "Discus?"

"No thanks, I already ate."

@Lazarou I was like, 'What'd Zeus ever do to you?', and then realised oh it's #Monsterdon.

I'd tell Zeus to fuck off too

#Monsterdon

Trusting in divine will is a great way to get fleeced

#Monsterdon

"Well, at least you're honest. That's more than I can say for most mortals!"

OOOOOH MORTAL BURN 🔥

#monsterdon

Jason is so smol

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

Imagine a load of elite tossers playing games with people's lives across the planet, who would stand for that?

#Monsterdon

Ooh, gods playing chess

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Build a ship, and collect two of every, no no wait. Shit. How does it go again? #monsterdon

Everybody has ancient Greek names but the main guy is named like the guy who did your MOT* last

(*it's a british car thing, Jason is a mechanic)

#Monsterdon

This movie starts in ancient Greece; the myth is supposed to be in the heroic Bronze Age but the sets and costumes look more classical.

I don't remember the actual myth very well, but that's fine since it's a movie and explains things. We got an evil tyrant who took the throne of Thessalay but there's a prophecy that one of the previous king's son will kill him, so he tries to kill all the children of the king, but a kid named Jason escapes with godly arrangement.

#monsterdon

Jason looks like Jack Quaid and Karl Urban had a kid together while they were filming The Boys

#Monsterdon

This sort of thing is why time travel plots are fun but also frustrating.

#monsterdon

I hate it when my soothsayer lets the main character go thereby making the entire story possible. #monsterdon

how many babies were doomed by prophecies?

#monsterdon

Will they die tonight, or day-for-tonight

#Monsterdon

@diazona trouble always starts with Zeus... #Monsterdon

Okay they do name the beast's made up species. Rhedosaurus. I've forgotten most of this movie. Like how glacially it's paced.
#Monsterdon #TheBeastFrom20000Fathoms

Oh how I have missed you coffee on Monsterdon. Hercules never enjoyed a fresh cup of coffee. The heathen.
#Monsterdon #TheBeastFrom20000Fathoms

Weed mentioned, kinda? Smoke Virginia Gold instead.
#Monsterdon #BeastFrom20000Fathoms

wait why didn't today's #monsterdon movie inspire a whole sub-genre of ancient greeks fighting skeleton armies? I think this is the only time I've seen that trope done?

Wait... that's the end? Boooo!

@hollie @MichaelKlamerus accurate

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

@MichaelKlamerus you’ll get used to it. That’s how #Monsterdon movies do.

Not a total brick-wall-in-the-face ending, but not exactly a denouement.

THATS IT.
#monsterdon

Once again, #monsterdon doesn't know how to end a movie. Absolute A+++ Harryhausen though! Goodnight folks, everybody in the eastern part of the UJS stay safe, and see y'all next week!

It’s Jason and the Argonauts… NOT Jason and the Dénouement

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts1963

okay, the bones going off the cliff was amazing. chef's kiss.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

*fuck it, off the cliff I go!

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ trumpets! Trumpets, crash!
I love this scene 😍
#Monsterdon

This is some amazing fight choreography/compositing here.

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

W, a goth, says this scene is why she is the way she is. #Monsterdon

I hope the skeletons win :D #Monsterdon

@Binder oh yeah, that hydra for sure got paid to take a fall. Zeus had 20 on Jason and needed a sure thing.

#Monsterdon

Yeah, gotta salt the driveway. We're expecting snow later. #Monsterdon

Jason, I've got a hat full of teeth with your name on it.
#monsterdon sterdon

"I've got some hydra teeth here, and I'm not afraid to use them"

"Teeth you say?"

#Monsterdon

She's a traitor, and the Argonauts are thieves, I can't help feel the bad guys are winning here?

#Monsterdon

Wilhelm Scream!

#Monsterdon

wait you mean you just kill the hydra by stabbing it? there's no cutting off heads and having them regrow?

#monsterdon

After doing a treason because horny, Medea frees the argonauts. Meanwhile the son Pelias tried to steal the fleece but was killed by a hydra, which Jason encounters when he himself goes to steal the fleece.

The hydra is very conversational and tries to hiss at Jason a lot to make small talk, but Jason is not interested and so opts to fling his sword at it.

@ramsey "the heads are just a distraction" #Monsterdon

This movie was in desperate need of a sound designer. #Monsterdon

Nowhere to run to, baby

Nowhere to Hydra

#Monsterdon

Jeez, turn the soundtrack down! You're gonna wake everyone up! #Monsterdon

"But my gods/god promised it to ME!"

Still can't believe this shit goes on in the future 21st Century

#Monsterdon

Everyone whose name ends in "us" is with me

#Monsterdon

The name of the ship is the Argo == The name of the planet is Krull

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts1963

lol "here's Acastus!"

Classic villain reveal

And the award for fakest beard in the whole movie goes to this dude.

"Hmmm well that rockslide sure fucked that boat up. What should we do to get through this dangerous strait?"
"I dunno... hey what if we tried to do the exact same thing they they did, maybe we'll get lucky?"
"Excellent plan! Let's do that!"
