#monsterdon Mostly the rocks are both plaid and paisley. You know, clashing…

"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!"

#monsterdon

"Chicks ahoy!"

#monsterdon

Wet robe contest whooooooo

#Monsterdon

Zeus and Hera are just watching Jason and the Argonauts and making snarky comments

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts1963

*How I feel holding a lift door open for someone

#Monsterdon

"The Gods want their entertainment." And it sounds like they have a big sideways drum. #monsterdon

"What ever you do, don't tickle his underarm as you go through!"

#monsterdon

What is it with these movies, giant dudes and water channels?

#Monsterdon

Drumming + landslides

🏆

#Monsterdon

"Beat out the stroke, but keep it easy."

UH PHRASING

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

*Luckily that other boat was full of wankers

#Monsterdon

expecting a Wilhelm Scream ....

#Monsterdon

Jason: <quietly, into the wind> Steady as you go. Easy.

Guys rowing twenty feet away: WHAT

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

What if those harpies get out?

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ definitely a belief system that has an easier time explaining why bad and random things happen in the world compared to "god: ??????"
#monsterdon

@jonny Let the antifreeze out and watch it burn! :blobcatgiggle2: #monsterdon

Good thing we had this METRIC ASSLOAD OF NETTING just laying around. #monsterdon

@diazona @jonny This! Exactly!

#Monsterdon

Why do we see ruined temples in this world? Shouldn't all the temples be kind of new?

Maybe this world has cultural continuity, with thousands of years of identical-looking temple construction?

#monsterdon

Yeah you're gonna wanna avoid defying the gods in a universe where they are real. #monsterdon

are you Phinneas?

i know what we’re gonna do today1

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

Hey where did they get all their armor?
#Monsterdon

Me at Ponderosa

#Monsterdon

"Would you really sail without Hercules? The schmuck who nearly got us all killed?"

#Monsterdon

The Gods have other movies for Hercules....

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

It was all Hercules fault though....

#Monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

⁉️ TRIVIA AND THE ARGOS ⛵🌊

⏳ Anybody seen the second-billed Nancy Kovack yet? We are well into the film.

#JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Bro you've got some patina, you're gonna want to get that looked at and wear sunscreen. #monsterdon

There should be a glowing icon on the top of Talos's head, thrust your sword into that...at least that's what you do in Shadows of the Colossus

#Monsterdon

Call the statue Orichalcum and not bronze, you cowards!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Maybe rub some Brasso on him, I dunno

#Monsterdon

Damn even Hera bailed

#Monsterdon

Talos: "Anybody see a hairy guy, about so big? He stole my javelin"

*indicates with thumb and forefinger*

#monsterdon

Alright, pretty cool. I can see why that guy in Skyrim is so excited about Talos

#Monsterdon

Incidentally I was looking at game footage of 'In The Shadows Of the Colossus" and am very ready for this....

#Monsterdon

Apparently, Talos' animation is intended to be deliberately jerky and not smooth, because of course he's a large metal creaking statue!

#monsterdon

Imagine Hercules in a revolving door, just using those giant muscles and spinning everyone around

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

FAFO incoming #monsterdon

YOU LEAVE THOSE GOATS ALONE

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

The drums being partially diegetic feels weird

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Avert your eyes. More Hera creepiness incoming. #Monsterdon sterdon

If only someone had thought to bring water or food. Damn the god of the MS Project.

#monsterdon

just rows out into the middle of the sea and dies...

#Monsterdon

So many hairy men...

#Monsterdon

Content warning: Terrifying animated Hera figurehead incoming. #monsterdon

@jivens lol, classic Fyre Festival shenanigans #Monsterdon

"Ramming speed!"

#monsterdon

Our flag means death. #Monsterdon

Polydeuces, meaning “many poops”.

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

"I've never thrown a discus before, I'd like to see how it's done."

Well, uh, not like *that*

#Monsterdon

Old Hercules is an interesting choice if intentional

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

CRAIG from GLASTONBURY

(mild applause)

#Monsterdon

i really hate Zeus in all his iterations. he’s the quintessential malignant narcissist.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

#monsterdon Humidity is a killer… so much frizz…

Green sleeves? In Greece?

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts1963

You heard there's a tree at the end of the world? Not to be confused with the restaurant at the end of the universe? #Monsterdon

Hera should check her headgasket, looks like she's burning coolant. #monsterdon

Tomorrow's #mondayactionmovie also has a lot of nice beach action... #monsterdon

DUN DUN SANDALLLLLLLL #monsterdon

#Monsterdon tried to watch tonight's film by searching for "JSON and the Argonauts".

That would be a very different movie.

the gods are always just watching people in pools and mirrors and shit. what's the point of being a god if you don't even have internet

#monsterdon

Launching my #monsterdon thread for #JasonAndTheArgonauts! It's starting a minute late because I timed my pre-movie snack poorly!

Monsterdon is the thing where we watch a monster movie every week and praise and or make fun of it. Mute the hash tag if you don't want to see 9 billions posts about it, follow @Taweret, the chicken of the void, if you want to vote in the weekly poll to determine the next movie we watch.

"We used to be a gorup of young people who loved to talk amonst ourselves about travelling to the moon and Mars and outer space. Ray Bradbury was among them. He was just starting out as a writer. So every Thursday evening we had a lovely get-together. And if you spoke about these things outside, people thought you were WEIRD!"

-- commentary track

this could be about #monsterdon !

"Fuck the Aristos!"

#Monsterdon

Continuity was done by Phylis Crocker, so if anybody's limp or beauty mark swaps sides, you know who to blame. #monsterdon

Got a piece of pie and a cuppa tea, it's snowing outside, and the movie is streaming. Life is good.

#monsterdon

Wondering if the opening art is real
#Monsterdon

ooo, they have a Dr Who in the cast...

#Monsterdon

Hercules will also appear in this film

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Schneeeerrrrr

#Monsterdon

We're go for #monsterdon!

*GASP* He's moving south! How could we have never figured that out?
#Monsterdon #TheBeastFrom20000Fathoms

And now for the title scene from Ray Harryhausen's Ray Bradbury's The Fog Horn.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fog_Horn
#Monsterdon #TheBeastFrom20000Fathoms

@JoeWynne Medea gets up to all kinds of crazy shit after she runs off with Jason. Maybe they decided the source material was too dark for a fun sequel.

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Never got why Harryhausen went with such an outdated look for the monster in this movie. It's all splayed out like an iguana, not built like a real dinosaur. Even at the time this body plan was like 50 years out of date.
#Monsterdon #TheBeastFrom20000Fathoms

The Beast From 100 million Years Ago. Hmm needs work.
Wait it's a dinosaur that hibernates?
#Monsterdon #BeastFrom20000Fathoms

Who else thought Hera looked jealous of Jason and Medea. Weird.

To much time as a statue I guess.
(Autocorrect just changed Medea to MediaWiki . Lol. )
#Monsterdon

Anyway, this concludes my #monsterdon thread for Jason and the Argonauts in which we learned that... um... it's okay to take things if those things are shiny golden sheep skins, just be prepared to fight a skeleton army if you do!

Hoboy, Jason's taking the high ground!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Arrow in the back? Give Nancy a potion of Cure Light Wounds!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Fantastic, loved it, it should have been a miniseries with one big stop-motion monster fight per ep until he got home.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Evergreen #Monsterdon post

I do have a bingo so that's fun too

this was good! way better than every other movie I've ever seen with Herc in it

(low bar, yes yes)

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

What a sublime way to go out, one of the most seminal VFX sequences in movie history. Thanks @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for the bingo, @JoeWynne for the trivia, a special shout-out to @wohali for relaying the commentary track, and all of you for being such fun company!

#Monsterdon

@jonny The sheer hydra disrespect :/ #Monsterdon

@paco @ottaross Zeus is like, “I’m tired, Hera. Let’s go to bed. Good night, Jason.”

#Monsterdon

@b I was thinking either Peter Jurasik or Andreas Katsulas could pull that roll off #monsterdon

BINGO!

#Monsterdon

That was fun.....way better quality than our usual fare. Night all!

#Monsterdon

And so Jason and the Argonauts ends mid-story. Huh. Anyway, time for the poll.

Was JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS (1963) the worst #Monsterdon movie of the year?

Yeeep. Let’s not see where the Medea storyline ends

In the eternal judgement of r/AITA, “Everyone Is an A-hole Here”

#Monsterdon

Loved all the stop-frame animation, just awesome.

#monsterdon

@paco They need some maces for bludgeoning damage.

#Monsterdon

Let's continue the game... another day.

Can't be a #monsterdon without a sequel setup.

#monsterdon
Let us continue the game... in the sequel..

Was there a sequel to this?

#Monsterdon

lol, of course Zeus is a sore loser...

#Monsterdon

I fucking love that scene. Loved it still
#monsterdon
