they're taking the hobbits to isengard!

#WhereTimeBegan #monsterdon

The real-time journey across the mountains so that they can eventually consider heading to the center of the earth (1977)

#monsterdon

Mt Sneffels? ah come on

#monsterdon

@strangefour@retro.pizza Glauben, per the subtitles?

#Monsterdon #WhereTimeBegan

Again, between all these location shots and the costuming, it does feel like more money was spent on this than typical #Monsterdon fare.

he's trying so hard to look swiss but where's the weird little brush on his hat, huh? where is it? WHERE IS IT?!

#WhereTimeBegan #monsterdon

We want to get to the CENTRE of the earth, but first we have to climb up really really far from it. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon They really don’t seem to have enough equipment. Also this is a loooooong travel to the mountain sequence.

And then there was a Ricola commercial.

#Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCentreOfTheEarth

Is her name "Cloven?" Like Cloven Hooves? British enunciation is not good.
#Monsterdon #WhenTimeBegan

This walking scene could have been inspired by Roger Corman

#monsterdon

Is that the von Trapp family passing crossways?

#Monsterdon #WhereTimeBegan

Drums. Drums in the deep.

#monsterdon
#JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

@RobynGoodfellow i.e. up?

#Monsterdon

Hans but no Gertrud :( #Monsterdon

Why is one of these characters a taller version of the seven dwarves from Snow White? #Monsterdon

Where do I get her 'venturin hat?

#Monsterdon

Yeah, the setting and costumes and things are great. Shame about the people they keep focusing on. #Monsterdon

steampunk target run for "a few things" #monsterdon

they bothered to find some neat locations for this

i wish the characters were more interesting but still

#monsterdon

@blogdiva I've been looking for the listing for this version of the film among the two dozen on IMDB without luck #monsterdon

HE SAID THE THING!
#Monsterdon #WhenTimeBegan

They're already going in the WRONG DIRECTION! #monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

Obligatory "rock climbing, Joel. Rock climbing!"

#Monsterdon

again, props to the location scout

#WhereTimeBegan #monsterdon

"I am Hans, this is Franz, and we are here to pump .... you .... up!"

#Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCentreOfTheEarth

"Can I buy your cousin?" #Monsterdon

Now it's Heidi all of a sudden? But on Mount Doom? I need more drugs. #Monsterdon

Mouth organ? is that a euphemism for something?

#Monsterdon

@jonny all people in foreign parts do, naturally

#Monsterdon

Fetish gear, check. Why else would you want gas masks?

#Monsterdon

Hey look! It's Dash O'Pepper! #Monsterdon

play his what now

#monsterdon

@lytta @Louisa IMDB says "Glauben"

#Monsterdon

Sheep were like solid gold back then, maybe
#monsterdon

The whole flock? Sounds sus. #Monsterdon

I wish they would stop calling it the "bowels"

#monsterdon
#JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

An entire flocked in a lighting storm? That is the worse luck I can imagine
#Monsterdon

So, we are finished with the tourist bureau footage, can we get along with the movie?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon they make sideburns look good

@WhiskeySailor
Dunno, I'm watching one on #Tubi that says its from 1977.
#Monsterdon

how do they know that this dude accepts sheep as currency that is awfully presumptuous. #monsterdon

@aburka You win one million internet points! I am cackling out loud. #monsterdon

"That man over there? Does he work for you?" He's playing Galaga. #monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

@Louisa I heard "Clover"... #monsterdon

I vaguely recall that electric lamps were a minor plot point in the book?

#Monsterdon

This is some rousing hiking music!

#monsterdon
#JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

@diazona What it needs is Dr. Kiss #monsterdon

"You can breathe through it in almost any circumstances" Oh yeah. He's into it. #monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

OMG there's a narrator 🤦

This movie did not need a narrator

#Monsterdon

Did she just tell him to "shut up"?
#Monsterdon #journeytothecenteroftheearth

We've just met the semi-villainous scoundrel of the movie, I believe (the red shirted guy) #monsterdon

@brooke 😂 that would be great

#Monsterdon

Oh god this cypher is the worst. How dumb are these gits?
#Monsterdon #WhenTimeBegan

@kcarr2015 I don't think it's trying to be silly, but it is a bit silly so far

#Monsterdon

The lighting is good. The sets are real(ish). Pretty good so far!

#monsterdon

knew it, bad sync, got spoiled on the monocle #Monsterdon

I had no idea Jules Verne had anything to say about fabric softener. And he predicted the rise of identity theft in 2022, what a visionary #Monsterdon

#monsterdon the train conductor looks like MeatCanyon

🎶He’s so vain, he prob’ly thinks that Darwin’s a colleague.

#Monsterdon

Good olde british accents on the dub. Very properly silly.
#Monsterdon #WhenTimeBegan

Her name is „Glauben“ (Belief). What the… #monsterdon

Of course, the 'woman needs to mother all the men around her' trope isn't great, but there's also the way she just snuck on the train behind them and didn't let them leave her behind and acted all casual about it #monsterdon

oh ffs are they gonna smash a hole in the floor?

#WhereTimeBegan #monsterdon

hugh jackman as the museum docent with the most embarrassing job story this week. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Is this version really silly?

#monsterdon Why oh WHY mumee

Oh joy. A crummy voice over. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO DRINK YOUR OVALINE!!?? #monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

You'd think that in the era of slide projectors they would be familiar with text getting displayed backwards sometimes

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe How can the possibly pilot a craft to the centre of the earth if they can't even use a train. #monsterdon

This preamble to the magically world underneath is taking it's fucking time.

Aren't they a bit old to be frolicking like that? Feels like some Adult Baby shit...

#monsterdon

Green Acres is the place to be...

#Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCentreOfTheEarth #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

"...do you know how to use it"
"Well, you place that metal tube into a place where gasses are."
<long awkward pause>

#Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCentreOfTheEarth

"that's just what I'm here for" - good thing this museum has a dedicated monocle-finder

#Monsterdon

"Do you know how to use it?"
"No, I just LOVE gripometers."
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon glued-on mutton-chops are a killer.

I don't know if I'm more bothered by soldier boy's opinion of women or geologists!

#Monsterdon

@fluffy@plush.city Also trains no longer exist.

#Monsterdon #WhereTimeBegan

Okay this gal is pretty badass for a proper English maiden type, I just laughed so loud at her popping in with the tickets like nbd #monsterdon

the cutty sark she ain't

#WhereTimeBegan #monsterdon

point to me for calling it. #monsterdon

"Marta, we are going on a journey! A journey to the centre of the earth!"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The woman of course is more practical.

there's nothing complicated about it, just throw them both off the train right now. #monsterdon

@fluffy It also takes more than a day to film a movie, too #Monsterdon

Oh, those brainless scientists!
#Monsterdon

"If I must stay at home, I will just have to make the best of it."

And by "it", I mean "plans to get to the center of the earth right ahead of you. Ciao, I'm off to see if I can disguise myself as a train conductor!

#Monsterdon

They couldn't make this movie today. For starters, it is no longer 1977. #monsterdon

if Glauben stays home i swear to god #monsterdon

A journey of a hundred leagues begins with a single boat

#Monsterdon

and girl hiding out in the luggage in 3... 2... 1... #monsterdon

Kilometers? Miles? LEAGUES!? Pick a unit of measure and stick with it man!
#Monsterdon #WhenTimeBegan

Is this guy in suspenders partially out of his costume promoting Jamaican beer?

#Monsterdon

And better pack your asbestos suite while you're at it... #monsterdon

@sean Thrush is a 1910 name for a skin condition? Okay, that was a total guess. #monsterdon

Alright #Monsterdon I'm coming in hot, missed the first 13 minutes so you'll have to fill me in on any important exposition

"Uncle Otto"

Wait, Kenneth is supposed to be German?

Is this like Sean Connery and accents, as in "i don't"

#monsterdon

Cryptography and calendars, huh

#Monsterdon
#JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

"in that case, I won't need to pack your umbrella"

#monsterdon

@socketwench spanish, dubbing is british #Monsterdon
