i mean, i don't really want a job either, lady, can't fault him there. #Monsterdon
@ax6761 it's the 70s, they're all bad marriages
My first car was a β77 Volvo 240 wagon (in 1996) and every time I see one in a movie I flail excitedly.
The largest actor they could afford. And the biggest houndstooth jacket I've yet seen.
#Monsterdon #Snowbeast
Many men would have eaten that pretty blond girl (didn't catch her name). But the monster got to her first.
EVERY. SCENE. costumes is upstaging the actors lmao #monsterdon
Man, Bo is *all teeth* isn't he. #Monsterdon
k that guy is the snowbeast
Bo Svenson is SO TALL
I've not seen a severed limb yet or anything so I think the soundtrack is overplaying the menace a little
@liferstate They've packed a lot of #foreshadowing into these first 10 minutes, that's for sure!
As per my sister, this is not how you search for a person, this is how you search for a person when they're missing and you don't care about them
Powerful marks here
#Monsterdon the 1980s really improved montage technology by adding jaunty music
If you're in a horror movie, and someone tells you "Nobody thinks you're crazy": they all think you're crazy, and you should start running, right now
Sheβs in shock. Someone get her a blanket. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon "let's split up"
Okay so this guy's name is Scott. That's what this scene has taught me about the characters.
#Monsterdon #Snowbeast
My sister already picked up on the fact that we're just waiting for someone to come murder all the men
She's a #Monsterdon natural
@allanb Heidi got up and left. #Im3 #Monsterdon
Hard to take Mr. Soothing Conehead seriously #monsterdon
They'll never catch you on a snowmobile!
one thing horror movies consistently remind us is to do is to BELIEVE VICTIMS #monsterdon
Grandma is kind of a jerk. #Monsterdon
up next, HOT DOG THE MOVIE.
If you mention "Winter Carnival Queen" and do not later have a scene where the monster interrupts the crowning of this year's Winter Carnival Queen, that's just cinematic malpractice.
My sister says they should be playing a drinking game where you take a shot every time they minimize women's experiences
None of us would survive
@blogdiva it is stun ning #monsterdon
On the upside: they have already introduced the Mayor, who will insist that the tourist-attracting activities must go on, body count notwithstanding, because The Economy!
So, SnowJaws!
Bring back off-brand Betty White
Everything I know about motorised transport and America tells me that though that looks fun, I should not do it.
"Driving snowmobiles like a twat"
50 + 16 = 130
Snowbeast is going to challenge the ski champ for the Evil Corp with the winner taking ownership and they want to turn the ski slopes into a private resort?
#monsterdon
@allanb like L.A.?! #ValleyGirl #Monsterdon
@Lazarou The old lady in Mars Attacks. #Monsterdon
The Fast and the Fuzziest: Colorado Drift
old matriarch giving a lecture on hot dogging to excited youth, what kind of movie is this again? #monsterdon
That lady with the smokers voice was somebody once, wasn't she?
i don't want to judge anybody's hotdogs
Hotdogging
I've seen that lady in things
1st victim 4 minutes in. Off to a good start.
the real lodge? the real carnival? of course theyβre real #monsterdon
#monsterdon MONSTER CHOMP
This movie is wasting zero time getting right to the heart of the action, eh?
She was too beautiful for this world.
I always like when someone has the sense to run away #Monsterdon
But how will the Snowbeast outrun the people on skis?
Didn't think of that, didja, Snowbeast?
#Monsterdon π¨οΈ βοΈ π¦ π£ βοΈπ±
Jennifer. π± π
The actresses sounds slightly not from the Americas
guys, if you haven't donated yet, we are raising money for some good causes tonight
see the thread here https://octodon.social/deck/@douglasfur@snaggletooth.life/113691874356841672
The Snowbaest doesn't actually harm anyone, they just criticize their skiing and really hurt their feelings
#monsterdon
immediate #bechdelPass in the first lines of dialogue #monsterdon
My sister points out the lady in yellow's wonderfully inconsistent skiing technique
sonny bono! Don't watch out for that treeeeeeee
Bo Svenson!? The '70's answer to Rondo Hatton? #Monsterdon
Charles don't be snowbeastly!
Hey an actual glimpse of a monster in the first 5 minutes
What if failed to mention is that this movie is 60% skiing stock footage by volume #monsterdon
I'd like to thank Skiing for the high toll it takes upon the Rich each year....
Instant Snowbeast sighting, an auspicious day
Very 70s looking ski scenes. Gives me flashbacks to Nancy Greene sports reports.
#Monsterdon GOOOOOOOOOO! ::hits Play on Plex::
Give me the beastcam #Monsterdon
Thats it that was the snowbeast #monsterdon
Wait, I was here for the sandbeast #monsterdon
oh my ... just got in
#monsterdon
I like that font #monsterdon
Colorado IS a snowy wasteland. #monsterdon

I love this energy, thank you all so much!
Remember, you can donate any amount to enter, and any amount can win!
@Infoseepage @liferstate if we want Even Worse That but with Alan Doyle for 10 seconds we could consider _A Whale for the Killing_ (1981)
@davesdogmaggie @Lazarou The thrill of turtlenecks & v-neck sweatervests!
The agony of bigfeet. #Monsterdon

@Infoseepage @liferstate A Booff, if you will. #Monsterdon
@SordidAmok It appears to have passed in the first few minutes of the film #monsterdon
@Infoseepage @liferstate Bo Derek is prettier than Svenson. Iβm in. #Monsterdon
there is still time to donate btw!
https://octodon.social/deck/@douglasfur@snaggletooth.life/113691874356841672
For a crap movie, it was very watchable. And screw you hippies that hated the skiing sequences. What? You hate the Winter Olympics, too? #Monsterdon
@SordidAmok Sure, same as any #monsterdon feature
@jonny Thanks, I wasn't paying attention to things at this point. These were lines between Jennifer and Heidi, I guess? #monsterdon
I was wondering what all the yeti pictures were about and then with enough scrolling realized I had missed #monsterdon! Dang! I was on the road for the last couple hours.
OK, so I will concede that maybe there is at least one reason for having a TV screen in your car.
Meanwhile what we could have had #Monsterdon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1mPuYysg1Q
I had a nice little video clip I was going to upload for #monsterdon but thereβs an issue with #mastodon and iPhone 16 audio tracks. Iβll have to do it from my desk tomorrow. Which will be waaaay late.

Paul's final comment, "It's saying something that in our triple feature of Silent Night Deadly Night 4 &5 followed by this. This was the weak link."

@moira @rdm @PatrickWirth See, I'm more feeling a comedy - like The Tempest, say?
@JoeWynne lol, that has to be a record for #monsterdon
red alert #monsterdon this guy also assistant directed The Tingler
@selfcare this is a #monsterdon post
So many ways that a film can be bad. This one was via repeated transit across snow. #Monsterdon
@SRLevine that's fair - monogamy is very important to both #SplendaDaddy and I; but one of us usually yells something about "just form a fucking polycule already" at movies & shows with ridiculously stupid love triangles. #Monsterdon
@diazona @SordidAmok it really does lol
It was too much to hope for a scene where Ellen trades lines with Mrs. Rill at any point #monsterdon
@diazona @bunnyhero i checked my DVDs, it's just called Snow Shark
The moral of the story is that a powerful legendary beast can be undone when it is confronted by the menace that is Chekov's ski pole #monsterdon
