a lot more comedy in this one so far

#Monsterdon #Piranha2

"I like the smell of this fuse" is my new favorite line. #monsterdon

@roque

Haha, no, thank you for jumping in!

This was my first #Monsterdon as well. I usually miss it and get FOMO, but this time I was determined.

They’re watching piranha2 but I can’t get to it so easily and have to get back to chores.

mr dumont, uh, your socks... #monsterdon #piranha2

Lance Henriksen and James Cameron working together, it's filmmaking magick

#Monsterdon

@strangefour @apLundell@octodon.social @Louisa they made him watch too #monsterdon

@apLundell @Louisa
Who among us hasn't been horny after kidnapping a scientist?
#Monsterdon #Piranha

What the heck, I'll watch PIRANHA 2 (1982)

https://miru.miyaku.media/

This movie is uncomfortably horny so far, especially the oedipal stuff?

#Monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf lol, he dies and everyone just forgets about him, harsh #monsterdon

That was...awful. But thank god for...pollution?

Ouch.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon My two takeaways are: I'm glad I never did summer camp as a child, and I'm glad those shorts never came back into fashion.

this kid gets eaten alive at some point, right? #monsterdon #piranha2

@apLundell @Louisa On the raft? I'm not picturing it #monsterdon

@apLundell@octodon.social @Louisa lol, I'm glad they cleared that up. It was on my mind.

#monsterdon

@floatybirb And there were the two midnight counselors discussing whether it was a good time to go swimming. They *probably* had names, right? #monsterdon

@paco 10. assaulting a cop when they broke out of jail.
#Monsterdon #Piranha

It would have been so much more esthetic if the fish chomping scenes were accompanied by classical music like they did in the last #monsterdon movie

@forestine @ryan Y'know I loooove this idea but I have some other things lined up to do, and I think one installment of Piranha at a time might be enough for me today. Have fun though!

#Monsterdon

Welps, it's been real folks. Apparently there's a movie called Mega Piranha, which just automatically started playing.

See yers next week.

#Monsterdon

And now after watching the #Monsterdon movie about fish eating people and turning the water red, I’m rewatching Conclave, about men wearing red metaphorically devouring each other politically

Yes I did. #Monsterdon

where _did_ those fish go anyway

#piranha #monsterdon

"WHERE'S MAH DADDY? I FOUND HIS MED'CINE FLASK!"

#monsterdon

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good night.

#Monsterdon

oh, she's not grabbing the knife to kill him underwater? bummer. #monsterdon #piranha2

@Taweret@octodon.social #Monsterdon
Thanks!

So many possible Bechdel test passing scenes, assuming the two females talking had names, which I don't know any of us could swear to #monsterdon

Never forget Betsy! #Monsterdon

P. S. okay Barbara Steele from previous #Monsterdon _The Pit and the Pendulum_ was Haughty British Science Lady!!!

okay going to bed now

@trixter @Bluedepth #JusticeForCodzilla #TeamMonster

#Monsterdon

@Bluedepth It will live on forever in our hearts, though.

#piranha #monsterdon

@Lazarou

A perfect B then. 😆

#monsterdon

:mastodon:

I want to see Codzilla walking into the ocean.
Please?
#Monsterdon #Piranha

So... Do we add Piranha 2 to the poll? Flying piranha! What more do we need?

#Monsterdon

So the stupid woman who did so many stupid things, ultimately unleashing deadly, mutant piranhas on the whole world... lives? Everyone else dies or gets munched on, but she just lives?
#monsterdon

@soc_i_ety@mstdn.ca it was 'not great, not terrible' this week! #monsterdon

everyone should just be pleased he didn't also cross them with flying fish

#piranha #monsterdon

I never saw this movie when it was in theaters, but I was still scared of piranhas for a while just from the ads. 😂

#Monsterdon

@moira @yatsu breakout character #monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon has to an end. As always thanks to our host for tonight @Taweret.

@lytta more like died awesomely

we got a poignant little shot of his hat drifting down into the moss at the bottom of the lake

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Ending theme by Vangelis?

Where is Codzilla though? #TeamMonster

#Monsterdon

Is that the canteen full of booze? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Sounds like a better movie this week. Always fun reading your toots.

:mastodon:

Piranha (1978) 2/5

"everything sucked"
"the only good thing was the sound the fish make"
"and the terrestrial piranha"
"where did the terrestrial piranha go"
#TeamLittleGuy

#monsterdon #MonsterdonReviews

There needs to be a post-credits stinger with our little mudskipper buddy.

#piranha #monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social Not sure I want to be thankful for trauma, but thanks for hosting another fun film!

#monsterdon

Lil‘ legfish monster by Phil Tippett, yay #monsterdon

Setting up for a sequel.

#Monsterdon

@yatsu Nope. Completely wasted character. I WANT THEM BACK

#piranha #monsterdon

#monsterdon And that's the end of that. Okay, we've hit the end of another "film”. I don't know where to go now, I've been building this up so much for so long... ;)

"There's nothing left to fear" don't worry that's what sequels are for

#Monsterdon

"That Dam Guard!"

#monsterdon

WHAT?? THAT'S how you end the film! You had one of your main characters AT DEATH'S DOOR and you just CUT TO CREDITS???

...Alright, screw you too, movie >:/ #Monsterdon

Kid 2 "she's pregnant with piranhas" #monsterdon

Screaming Woman - there should be an Oscar for that role! #monsterdon

With that setup, how could a sequel not happen! :D

Thanks again for everyone joining #monsterdon - see you in tomorrow's VOTE!

And thanks to @joewynne @cheribaker @Taweret and everyone else who made tonight a smashing success!

Did they seriously end by saying "There's nothing left to do"?

#Monsterdon

we finally fucked off into the sea once again at the end of #monsterdon

Look, if you want him to drink, you need to find Canteen #Monsterdon

Leaving the door open for Piranha 2! How ambitious!

#Monsterdon #Piranha

All right, this holding breath sequence is not something Jaws didn't already do better, I'll admit it #monsterdon

And bingo in the final scene:

#Piranha #Monsterdon

There's nothing left to fear... raised eyebrow and fade to red.

And that's a wrap.

Paul Bartel, John Sayles, Barbara Steele - a bevy of cheese-movie greats.

We saw a Paul Bartel cameo in Chopping Mall to if I remember correctly.

Thank you all, till next week.

#monsterdon

Did a special effects guy who was bringing dismembered limbs to the set get lost? Why aren't there any body parts floating in the water? GIVE ME A DECAPITATION!
#Monsterdon #Piranha

FBI is going to label them Greenpeace ecoterrorists and use them as cover.

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978

Assuming the subtext of this movie is post-Vietnam suspicion, malaise, and that child death is the ultimate result of the corruption of the military-industrial complex.

#Monsterdon

Ah ha ya ha ha and that's a wrap. The title fucked off into the sea.

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish

"Nothing with this sir, it's just a prop camera. A really shitty one too, sir."

#piranha #monsterdon

the flannel really slowed 'em down…
#monsterdon

Anybody got eyes on the swimming pig? Did the pig make it? #Monsterdon #Piranha

Wait a sec, one of those dead bodies just waved it's arm around!

#Monsterdon

Cantine callback?

#Piranha #Monsterdon

so he killed all marine life in that whole water system and made the water unsafe to drink for a generation, the end #monsterdon

HE BETTER NOT BE DEAD SUZIE NEEDS HIM

#monsterdon

And now, the tender booze carrier scene. #Monsterdon

This wibbling noise the purr anyas make 😂

#Monsterdon

And in the end, our pulluting ways will save the day.

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978

This guy is a real chum. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🏊 🏊‍♂️ 🏊‍♀️ 🐟 🐟 🐟 🩸 🩸💀 😱

seriously those fish nibblers should been able to go with him

THE HAND
#monsterdon

"Film at 11" why

#piranha #monsterdon

He's lucky all that glass is made out of sugar. Otherwise, when he crashed through it at speed, it would've hurt pretty bad.

#Monsterdon

Fish, you were to slow.

Dinner is being dragged away.

#Monsterdon #Piranha

"It's the piranhas, sir. They're...eating the guests."

Best line so far.

#Monsterdon

I think in piranha waters I'd be worried about my eyes and my genitals, as a priority.

#monsterdon

Aaaand now our heroine rips him through a plate glass -- I WAS KIDDING!! D: #Monsterdon

Terror. Horror. Death.

Film at 11.

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish

EPA VIOLATIONS LETS GOOO
#monsterdon

Meanwhile, in an aquarium somewhere for some reason

#piranha #monsterdon

Pollution will save the day! #monsterdon

The piranhas will all get drunk from eating his blood #monsterdon

Fortunately the parents of these children had all signed waivers for this sort of thing before turning them over to the camp staff #monsterdon

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

#Monsterdon

The damn fish are going for the flannel.

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978

KISSY KISSY KISSY KISSY FISH

#piranha #monsterdon

It's ok, the fish can't chew through plaid.

#monsterdon

Or maybe park the boat a bit nearer? Nah.. #monsterdon
