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.

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

Mice??? #monsterdon #mysteriousisland1961

Goat like, "Aaah, mister Bond. We keep running into one another, don't we. But this time, the upper hand is MINE." #Monsterdon

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

@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

Chekov's Raging Volcano

#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

@strangefour " September 19th, 1783 – The first hot air balloon was launched by a French scientist named Pilatre De Rozier and was called “Aerostat Reveillon.” The balloon carried 3 passengers—a rooster, a duck, and a sheep— and was only in the air for 15 minutes before crashing back to the ground. " -- https://balloonmuseum.com/a-brief-history-of-hot-air-ballooning/ #Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland1961

@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

"Yeah, let's climb into the volcano, see what happens."

#monsterdon

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

Yeah that's ✅ Battle Music

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

@Taweret Legit shocked, honestly #Monsterdon

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 ?

aaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #monsterdon #mysteriousisland1961

...It's a musical? #Monsterdon

"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

yum

#monsterdon

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

Ah, I should've known that was Chekov's hot spring.

#monsterdon
#mysteriousisland

Oh that's delicious :D Them's good eatin' #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Send out the invites! We've got a crab boil!

Phew. No one gets left behind but the Confederate soldier.

#Monsterdon

oh boiled crab 😋

#monsterdon

Now, attack it's weak point for massive damage. 🦀

#monsterdon

DUDE CRABBAKE

#monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

#monsterdon Childhood was to look at a fish tank and marvel at those weird crabs

Adulthood was when I realized that the tank was in a restaurant

That armor's too strong for blasters! We'll have to use harpoons and tow cables. #monsterdon

now they just need a way to lure that giant crab up to the volcano... and add a bunch of water and that would be quite the steaming!

perhaps a beach broiling is in order?

#Monsterdon

I can see that guy's underwear through the splits in his pants.

#monsterdon
#mysteriousisland

#monsterdon The Union commander is no Perseus, no Harry Hamlin! And the crabs are crap Giant Scorpions birthed from Medusa's bloody cloak-sack! I want my drachmas back!

Ooh, Giant crab legs!

#monsterdon #MysteriousIsland_1961

But why is the giant crab so angry

#Monsterdon

I'm on team crab! Go get those mediocre guys, Mr, Pinch! Eat the weak! #Monsterdon

The giant crab is on it's back and you're not helping it Leon. Why is that? #Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

...holy shit I didn't expect them to actually do it #Monsterdon

oh flipping it that's smart

#monsterdon
