lol, so that's where Acrastas is....

#Monsterdon

@moira I mean, really. It’s just asking to be stolen.

#Monsterdon

Hydra just want friend

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

7 headed serpent, hello
#Monsterdon

Yep, that's a good hydra

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Zeus' holy Brillo pad

#Monsterdon

:blobastonished: #ItsATrap #Monsterdon

King Neckbeard he thanks the son of King Pelias for revealing this plot (he was secretly the argonaut who mutinied I think, but I guess he was alive and not drowned).

Medea is sad about this because she wanted the cute boy she met to get the fleece even though its treason and is telling Hecate this during the underground temple's after hours.

#monsterdon

How long are they going to continue this DAY POSING AS NIGHT charade?

#Monsterdon

All of this fighting over the Golden Fleece, and I am not hearing a single person asking if there's some sort of flock of Golden Sheep somewhere so that EVERYBODY can have a Golden Fleece...?

#monsterdon

Medea looks like Delenn at times. I want to see a remake of this in the Babylon 5 universe.

#monsterdon

is Hercules coming back as a Deus ex machina or did he seriously just fuck off halfway through the movie with no payoff

#monsterdon

Given the way these folks party I highly doubt they were drugged unwillingly.
#monsterdon

@bstacey he just came outa nowhere

#Monsterdon

@Violinknitter
It's a Jayne hat!

#monsterdon
#JasonandtheArgonauts

I recognized Medea; she played Nona in the Star Trek episode A Private Little War.

#monsterdon #jasonandTheArgonauts

So Jason is there to pull some wool, have I got that right?

#Monsterdon

I want that hat
#monsterdon

#monsterdon
I have to go with you now. I love you (instantly) and the music is telling me I have to!

@brooke same #Monsterdon

okay

#Monsterdon

I wonder what the harpies and statues are up to

#monsterdon

Someone else mentioned how we’re seeing such glorious dad bod, and wow! We really are. I only wish my dad bod was as magnificent.

#Monsterdon

@kshernandez No, *Hylas* got crushed. Hecastus (this traitor) went overboard in the fight with Jason

#Monsterdon

Jailers sleeping in a big cuddle pile. #Monsterdon

We make it to Colchis whose main set is an underground temple to Hecate with...

* a giant statue of a three headed god; at least one head is a cat, maybe another is a goat.
* dancing girls and their Ecstatic Religious Riutuals (TM)
* plenty of columns and shit

sounds like a nice place to hang out. we should throw a party there.

#monsterdon

"Help me, Hecate"

help you… become a traitor to Hecate, as you just said? 🤨

#Monsterdon

Can we get some more Harryhausen monsters now?

#monsterdon

So is Colchis the source of gout? Thus colchicine

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

Damnit. The cops busted their rave. #monsterdon

@gnomon oh me too, me too...

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

The film here was flared to increase colour saturation, so that as it went through processing, the fading of the saturation wouldn't be as significant and the colour would remain vibrant.

#monsterdon

Collect the whole set!

#Monsterdon
#JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Oh Colchis was a real place. It's over on the Black Sea.
#Monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts

Title drop! #Monsterdon

@allanb I thought that was just bronze makeup

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

He said the thing!
They said the thing!

#Monsterdon

“Welcome to Kolkis. Table or booth?” #Monsterdon

There will be one amongst us from the edge of the world. His name is... Steve!

#monsterdon

amazing jacket. A plus

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

I feel like this movie could've been made into a tight 90 minutes by just cutting the dance numbers. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon
As someone pointed out, that lead dancer really does resemble the green alien lady from Star Trek.

Captain Kirk is here, right

#Monsterdon

Ray talking about attention spans and how TV ads ruined them, and how antiheros ruined heroes and how he'd walked out of the theatre with his wife several times...things he doesn't think audiences want.

Hear hear, Ray. 🙏

#monsterdon

Time for the Dream ballet fuck yeah

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts1963

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Solid Gold Dancers.

#monsterdon

If something doesn't have a name, you can just... give it one. You can do that.

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Show me your healing flower and also leave me alone with your golden fleece for an hour or two. Trust me. #monsterdon

"I'm ready to see your flower. Oh. Oh you meant. Uh. A literal flower. Okay. Well. This is awkward." #Monsterdon

ah, a time-lapse flower

#Monsterdon

oh, dear, Lady Medea would really have preferred us to have caught Jason and the Argonauts this time round on #Monsterdon but we messed up. We are not making great decisions tonight, or swift ones! Gosh maybe I should consult an #Oracle.

I mean, Oracle must be cashing in big on this #LLM craze, all those SQL commands flying back and forth...

Acastus is definitely alive and plotting somewhere...

#Monsterdon

Euphemus isn't his real name but his real name is offensive. #Monsterdon

Euphemus, huh... I'm sure *that* name isn't alluding to anything

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Euphemus’ him

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts1963

Jason is, like, the Jackie Chan of ancient Greece

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Interesting dialog where Zeus and Hera talk about how if the humans stop believing in them they disappear, which is very Forgotten Realms of them.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Chips Ahoy! We weep in the kitchen at midnight.

The music is doing its best to imply they should be fighting each other with lirpas #Monsterdon

Fight! Fight!

*slap*

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

I don't think Jason and Medea were both there at the same time shooting that scene. #monsterdon

Day for slightly dimmer day. #monsterdon

Better to be hopelessly outnumbered than utterly hopelessly outnumbered 🤷

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Thank goodness we brought a thousand yards of netting!

#Monsterdon

Most will remember Nancy Kovack from a ST:TOS episode. They put her in a biker chick outfit. She was married to conductor Zubin Mehta #Monsterdon

“My name is Jason”, an introduction that falls so flat it causes a fade to black #Monsterdon

"'Flowers' is a euphemism for young women, you see."

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

"What was your ship doing in such dangerous waters?"

Sinking. Try to keep up. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Okay but....how big were these cliffs originally if they lost that much rock? Send a half dozen decoys and you're safe.

You only dived into the water because she's a woman. #monsterdon

So… Poseidon showed up, saved them, and then fucked off into the sea?

…

Is this Percy Jackson?
#Monsterdon

"What's your name?"
Flotsam. #Monsterdon

Poseidon between a rock and a hard place for these ungrateful little dudes #Monsterdon

#monsterdon they're starving and dying of thirst AGAIN? We saw this part!

Well that scene made little sense yet was kinda exciting.
#monsterdon

Poseidon: Watch the crotch with those oars!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Thank you neck Buddha! Thank you!

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

When Poseidon shows up and holds back the rock walls, and you get a really good whiff of his armpit as you sail under him, you know you’ve got the good gods on your side.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Many of you know how hard it is to get a group to all do the correct thing in WoW. Imagine getting a bunch of headstrong, proud athletes to cooperate on a small boat, while on meager rations?

This film loves shirtless men. #Monsterdon

"YOU pull! You got time to drop some rhymes, YOU pull!"

#Monsterdon

Not really a disguised merman fetish, more of a centrally featured merman fetish.

#Monsterdon

This was totally not how it worked in the original (Jason uses his wits and releases a bird to test the timing) and we're not even getting a Harryhausen monster out of it so I'm giving a thumbs down to this episode

#Monsterdon

Smell that armpit baby!
#monsterdon

@blogdiva Whew! LOL #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts 🍿🎥

By Poseidon's hairy armpit!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

I mean, _as water interaction with miniatures go_, this is absolutely as good as you get. I can't think of any I've seen better.

But it's still so much less than the rocks.

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

it's kinda weird seeing all these hairy dad bods after 2 weeks of ultra caked-out hercules
#monsterdon

Poseidon ex machina or is it Neptune ex machina?

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts1963

Drummer keep it easy!

Drummer: ba ba ba doubt duba duba boom boom bam !

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

This was shot at 110fps - 5 times normal - to give the rocks their mass. A special machine was used to make small ripples in the water.

-Ray

#monsterdon

Neptune (Poseidon?) is sucking in his gut, so the boat can pass!

#monsterdon

HELL YEAH

#Monsterdon

I mean seriously, these rocks are _amazing_. But then the water.

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

That was really good, "The gods want their entertainment" and sure enough cut to the gods watching hi-def God tv. #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts1963

So did we just have an internal 4th wall break??

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

"The gods want their entertainment."

<Hephaestos has subscribed!>

<Dionysios has gifted 100 bits!>

#Monsterdon

Um, if there's no turning back then Jason is going to have a hard time becoming king of his homeland

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

"Now what?"
"Don't go out that way I guess."
#monsterdon

Is this a schylla and kharibdis situation or is t other monsters that I can't spell off the top of my head? #Monsterdon
