So far this film's gimmick is about big insects and stuff or little people

#monsterdon

hey this mysterious island has a pod hotel #monsterdon #mysteriousisland1961

Her dress is reasonable for the 1960s, but it feels like something a woman from the 1860s might feel is a bit scandalous, even under these conditions.

But at least she's still got underwear on, of a style that wasnt' invented until mid 20th century.

#mysteriousisland

THINGS BEING TOO BIG IS THE ONLY THING THAT IS WEIRD ABOUT THIS ISLAND you are not allowed to be surprised by that anymore #Monsterdon

Okay but honestly if I ended up on a deserted island with America in the shape it is right now I wouldn't be in much of a hurry to leave either.

#monsterdon

Oi, you milked the wrong goat, lass. That there's a man.

#Monsterdon

Um....

What ARE you wearing, young lady?

#Monsterdon

In retrospect the bird looked insufficiently like an emu or moa, I guess.

#monsterdon

@kcarr2015 "Are there any women here?!..." #wrongMovie #Monsterdon

Winner, winner, dire chicken dinner

#monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

"...take that Costco!"

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

Herbet

... Rhymes with Sherbet

#monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social They're quite industrious. Except when it comes to shipbuilding.

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

Wait, this is just Delicious in Dungeon. 🤔

#monsterdon

so a bassoon came along and attacked everybody while i was away, i heard? #monsterdon

Why don't you try hitting it with the rilfe? We can't know for sure it doesn't work until everyone tries it. #monsterdon

Is that supposed to be a moa?

#monsterdon

Ride that chicken, Elvis! #Monsterdon

Stop motion human figures and animatronics give me the same horrified fascination, I love them and I hate them

#Monsterdon

Ride em, Elvis. Ride!

#monsterdon

I know it’s a giant bird, but it’s giving “feathered dinosaur before we knew dinosaurs were feathered” energy. #monsterdon

Look at him ride that giant cock! What a hero! #Monsterdon

The horn section is having fun at least.

#monsterdon

Winner Winner Chicken dinner for everyone. #monsterdon

So fun fact, it is believed that this is inspired by a glass shot matte that my great uncle did when doing mattes for KING KONG (1933)

I see a lot of influence from Uncle Mario on some of the mattes in this film despite him having not worked on it. So much so I had to go see if he was in the credits or not.

#monsterdon

Giant chicken! YES!!!!!!!!

Food just coming to them. #Monsterdon

I forgive you all your sins, movie, for this. This giant chicken.

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

It's not casso-WISE not to be casso-WARY

#monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

It's a giant chicken!

#monsterdon

BOCO THE CHOCOBO!? #Monsterdon

GIANT CHICKEN IS WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT #monsterdon

oh my god it's my new fursona #monsterdon #mysteriousisland1961

fucking finally

CHICKEN TIME

#monsterdon

a plot would help so much tho

#monsterdon

I was not expecting Nemo to be known in this story.

#monsterdon

"...he had a kink about war. He hated it"
"I don't think that's what kink means..."
"He just hated war. All the raw dogging."
"Yeah, and I don't think..."

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

"You removed this part! It was the only control we had!" [throws it overboard]

these people make good decisions

#monsterdon

just as well women washed up on a beach so your goats could be milked.....

#monsterdon

How disappointing that the cave contains a normal number of normal sized spiders. #Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

This.... Nemo... with his.... submarine, do you call it?

Was he under the water?

Perhaps several thousand leagues under it?

🤔 :thinkhappy: :thonking: :eyethink:

#monsterdon

the jules cinematic verneverse! #monsterdon

A war kink? I mean okay.

#Monsterdon

Almost forgot!! Check it out!!

#Monsterdon

@yatsu I would have looked for drinkable water first, but they found it eventually, after building on the wrong side of the island. #Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland1961

It’s almost like someone packed that chest just for them.

Dun-dun-dun!

#Monsterdon

Chekhov's Care package. #monsterdon

A balloon, a raft, some gear, there sure is a lot of stuff washing up on shore. Over the last couple of years there should be hundreds of loot crates around here

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

Jules Verne movies! Tedious men wandering through attractive landscapes while the musical score begs you to feel something. I wonder if the books are better. #Monsterdon

@Taweret Seems it would be easier to build a boat at the water's edge than in a cave up a cliff, but what do I know

#Monsterdon

@allanb The captains been drinking his own urine for years, BEFORE the stranding. #Monsterdon

"why have they already forgotten about the giant crab???"

#monsterdon

lol, supplies wash up like they're in a video game

#monsterdon

@ramsey Yeah though I'm still holding out for giant chickens

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

It's actually a pee bottle

#monsterdon

They found a guy who apparently died of boredom this is some exciting stuff #Monsterdon

there is way too much talking and walking in this movie, I feel like the Pirates are just a plotline too much for a single film.

#monsterdon

spooky scary skeletons

#monsterdon

the characters just walk around doing things with no apparent purpose. like nothing is driving the action

like, one of those, what do you call them. those things that drive a story forward so that things are compelling and make sense?

a plot. yeah, there isn't one of those

#monsterdon

It's a lizard you fucking wimp.

#Monsterdon

NOT AN IGUANA!

#monsterdon
#mysteriousisland

"Chains...a sword.....some Kinky people have been here!"

#monsterdon

The cave is full of tubas #monsterdon

why do we need to explore these caves tho?

#monsterdon

checks pulse of guy face-down in the water oh no he's dead #monsterdon

I'm having flashbacks of P. E.
#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

Lost ripped off a lot of this movie, didn't it?

#monsterdon

@Louisa I believe there was a line where they said that they’ve crossed the entire country which is stupid because they could’ve just gone out to sea, you know, on the East Coast where fucking Virginia is. #Monsterdon

Oh to live in a time when there were unexplored islands of giant animals, but we long killed all those....

#monsterdon

Ginger and Mrs Howell have arrived on (insert name of any of the guys who I can not tell apart nor have I remembered the name of here)'s island.
#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

I like how he sarcastically calls them “gentlemen.” #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I had a bad feeling about the prospects for the guy lying face down in the water.

And finally, after at least a week, they drink water.
#Monsterdon

"Where's the sailor. The one who was on our boat." That's a rather tender subject. Another slice anyone? #Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

#Monsterdon

We came by balloon.
And stop calling me Shirley.

@Bluedepth :ablobcatgooglymlemjumping: #Monsterdon

Here we go with the snooty English. Yup, it's a Verne story #monsterdon

"I am Lady Elaine Fairchild,"

and I'm a puppet on Mister Roger's Neighborhood. #Monsterdon

LADY ELAIN(a) FAIRCHILD!

#monsterdon #MisterRogersNeighborhood

Classic upper class indifference to a working man being dead

#monsterdon

The wreckage of a very drunken bachelorette party has washed ashore.
#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

most of us are americans' we have no idea where the one guy is fun. if you can figure out his accent, let us know

#monsterdon

Crabs, goats, and dames. The stranded on a mysterious island trifecta. Good on ya, lads. #Monsterdon

We go up the volcano with full bellies of crab, we go down the volcano and find movie starlets.

This is the life.

#Monsterdon

why aren't the babes giant too #monsterdon

Goats now? First crab dinner now gyros?
#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

it's the literary style of ancient greek histories before they had invented the concept of "literary form." things happen and there is no need to comment upon them or make them form "a narrative" as long as the individual things happening are like super crazy and weird #monsterdon

TWO hot girls?

#monsterdon
#mysteriousisland

To be fair, a volcano with actual red lava in the caldera is unusual.

#monsterdon

NOW WE ARE TALKING

#monsterdon

Bring out the giant goats, you cowards. #Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

#Monsterdon (6 months later) "I am so sick of goat cheese, goat milk, goat meat..."

@overholt Ha it’s hydrogen. Hydrogen air travel! We shoulda stuck with that, like electric cars #Monsterdon

"...huh, this volcano is full of lava"
"What did you think it would be full of?"
<awkward silence>

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

yes, I had a small cameo role in this film #monsterdon

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

Chekov's Raging Volcano

#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

Verne sure loved his volcanoes, come to think. #monsterdon

the problem with all the jules verne movies is that they are just a series of things happening with extremely vague connection to one another and then they are rescued the end #monsterdon
