#monsterdon ah geez a volcano? i gotta keep this to myself, i can't let any of the guys take my lava

women. oh good. now we have someone to scream every time they see anything

#monsterdon

Okay there's going to need to be a really good explanation for why she shows up on the island

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

The remains of the SS Bechdel #Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

"She's beautiful."

"Better than that, she's alive."

#Monsterdon

Did they bring enough hot girls for everyone?

#monsterdon
#mysteriousisland

Ladies :O

#monsterdon

OH HEY LOOK A BLONDE CHICK

WHO WOULDA THUNK

Cue Young Rookie Union Soldier singing SUMMER DAYS any second now.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Very nice Neb, you're an idiot, but a useful one.

What happened to Neb's shirt?
#Monsterdon

oh lord. lady, you should have just kept floating. #monsterdon

They have learned nothing. Nothing. Expect a 50 ton goat to appear. #Monsterdon

Oh shit, hot girl washes up on the beach.

#monsterdon
#mysteriousisland

Handy boat full of women for the men there

"I think the guy face down in the Sea not moving may be dead"

#monsterdon

@moira It is, ... waaait for it... of the utmost importance, if you will. --dad #Monsterdon

@apLundell need goats to milk to make butter for the crab

#Monsterdon

is this the prequel to LOST or Gilligan's Island I can't tell #monsterdon #mysteriousisland1961

@sean honestly ours are mostly ash

we don't really get surface lava in cascadia

#monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

Geez, y'all just had several thousand pounds of crab boil, and you're already hungry again?
#monsterdon

Mr it, mr. Something else. Looks like a star trek episode
#monsterdon

You just ate a 4000 pound crab. Leave those goats alone!
#Monsterdon

Wacky means of conveyance? ✅
Mysterious destination? ✅
Giant animals? ✅
A volcano? ✅
A couple of ladies thrown into the mix? ✅

We must be watching a Jules Verne story turned into a movie.

#Monsterdon

Even though the rock are obviously millions of years old
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon It would have been a lot more fun if those were screaming goats.

@Taweret you heard him, they're giant mice

#monsterdon

#monsterdon He's also handy with CBT and a ball-peen hammer. Better be careful how comely that goat is gonna turn out. Wearing a short skirt… giving bedroom eyes…

They're catching goats so they can make goat butter, so they can make clarified butter to go with the crab.

#monsterdon
#mysteriousisland

Introducing the sleeping star of the show 🌋

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

They are climbing this volcano because Cap said, "It's necessary for our survival to see where we are."

This is all about "intelligence gathering."

#Monsterdon

Catch some goats? Are they out of crab meat already? #monsterdon

Spilitt is really a character

#Monsterdon

this really gets my goat #monsterdon

"energy of youth" based on what I know about actors back then, the oldest actor is 31 #Monsterdon

Spillett should tell the guys he used to be a hangman #monsterdon

Mice??? #monsterdon #mysteriousisland1961

@moira @CactuarJoe ohh yeah now that you mention it I think I heard that

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon How'd they get so big? I suspect.... *The Macguffin!* Dunt dunt duuuum!

hey, there's breakfast lunch and dinner for tomorrow! this island is Very Lucky. #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I'm being told "because it was there" #monsterdon

anybody got any salt?

salt?

salt?

salt anybody?

we crave that mineral

#monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

Goatbusters!

#monsterdon
#mysteriousisland

#monsterdon Like the younger generations say, this movie is the Goat

Giant mice with horns! #Monsterdon

That accent really is driving me mad. #monsterdon

@berniethewordsmith Did it start with hot springs?

(sorry I'm not participating tonight peeps, this just popped up when I happened to check my computer and I couldn't resists)

#Monsterdon

Mr. Spillit will now spill his guts

#monsterdon

Why? Why do they need to go all the way to the top? And why now? And why at such risk? #monsterdon

@diazona you'll notice a lot of this island was DESIGNED mister Zaslavsky #monsterdon

they hired ray harryhausen to puppeteer the corpse of a crab

i for shoot pointed at the screen and screeched to my husband "LOOK AT THAT CRAB!!!!!!!"

#monsterdon

somehow this civilian guy is more annoying than the confederate lol

#Monsterdon

@diazona @CactuarJoe the idea in real life was to see if they could spot any other land, see where they are

#monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

Under the Laws of Story that I didn't make up, that volcano WILL go off by Act III.

#Monsterdon

why are they trying to go where they're trying to go?

#monsterdon

"Oh for the energy of youth." Preach it brother. #Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

I guess if we're gonna eat the mountain, we should start with the top. #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe because it's there

(actually I have no idea)

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon mmmm, crab boil

Convenient geyser for crab boil. And, they kept the harmonica.

I think cigarettes and coffee are a lost cause, though.

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

Let's go up to the semi-active volcano, which is on the mantle, I might remind you, in Act I.

#Monsterdon

@amyfou Just a guy working for scale #monsterdon

So is there a *reason* they're climbing the mountain, or...? #Monsterdon

The crab must’ve weighed about 4000 pounds and they’re just walking away? #Monsterdon

@Taweret yeah I thought we were going to see a token sacrifice there

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

@flowerpot Needs more cowbell. #monsterdon

they're having a really hard time getting to the paramount logo but i think they'll get there

#monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

"We want to reach that crater before nightfall."

That volcano must be a lot smaller than it looks from here, captain.

#monsterdon
#mysteriousisland

#Monsterdon Now to make history’s largest Rangoon!

Boiled crab!! Yeah!!

#Monsterdon 🦀 #MysteriousIsland

Happy Harmonica Crab Dance.
#Monsterdon

Reminded me of ghost crabs going after baby turtles. #Monsterdon

I’d like to congratulate the film makers of Mysterious Island (1961) for not killing off the only black actor in the first 30mins

#monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow heh someone else made that pun and I didn't want to overdo it, but yeah

#Monsterdon

@Taweret He was nearly pinched in two and now he's dancing about #monsterdon

@Taweret Legit shocked, honestly #Monsterdon

Yeah that's ✅ Battle Music

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

Oh, crap, now they're all drunk on crab.

#monsterdon

only now are they asking about the big crab

#monsterdon

Okay, some skilled harmonica work there. And acrobatics.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon break the claws! i need to make the hammer from this guy

#monsterdon And that's how, on Julie and Julia, she learned how to properly dispatch Giant Crab.

“Now, that’s what I call a crawfish boil!” — the Confederate soldier maybe #Monsterdon

hey, a crab boil. Anyone got some old bay? @TrishEM #monsterdon

No garlic butter too bad #Monsterdon

@diazona Not so much angry as.... crabby. #Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

LOL right into the geyser I guess they've got a crab boil

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

#Monsterdon #BadHarmonizing ?

...It's a musical? #Monsterdon

aaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #monsterdon #mysteriousisland1961

"try and tip it over the edge"

okay but

weren't you LITERALLY just hunting for food

Edit: well okay, they did it eat. Good for you, movie.

#Monsterdon

So, like 10 minutes/lb?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🏝️ 🐝 🦀 🦪 🐦 😱

That lead crab actor is VERY compelling as a giant bloodthirsty Monster Crab he should have gotten an oscar not cooked for Harryhousen's dinner!

Mmmmm that's good eatin'.

#monsterdon

The original crabby pattie.

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

convenient that there was a bunch of boiling water right there. #monsterdon

yum

#monsterdon

Now I'm offended by this film, 30 minutes in

#monsterdon

Sure was nice with that crab to help him flip it on its back :crabmadlad:

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

Well color me wrong. #Monsterdon

Wait, are they trying to tow cable the giant crab like an AT-AT? #monsterdon
