Everyone's jackets are disgustingly clean and new

#monsterdon

I feel for Heidi

#monsterdon

Cut to scene of Snowbeast riding the chair lift to get in another round of skier slaughter without the effort.

#monsterdon

Okay, ✅ Downhill Skiing was a bingo card gimme. #monsterdon

#monsterdon MONSTER PAW

Dang that was right speedy

I am now going to spend the rest of the night writing a Twilight/Snowbeast vignette about how Emmett always ruins everything.

#monsterdon

@diazona lol, I am so sick of skiing after this movie! #monsterdon

We're all having dreams of that slope tonight.....

#monsterdon

🎵 Just, look at the four of us
Strangers, in so many ways
We’ve got a snow beast to kill… 🎶

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

Really, though. Snowbeast was a lot better than that giant spider thing last week.

#monsterdon

FADE TO RED, a movie about a young man who is obsessed with quoting all the great yeti movies and decides to become a yeti himself

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

all in all a solid #monsterdon movie - bunch of stuff happened and nobody seems to really have had a plan to make a movie they just found themselves in that position and needed to turn in something

Svenson isn't great, but Sweden is a social democracy, so... there's that.

#monsterdon

So this whole movie was an excuse to shoot on-location somewhere where the big-wigs could ski and write it off as a business expense, right?

#Monsterdon

A "service revolver"? For the ski lodge service?

#monsterdon

The beast is happy he got Cole for Christmas this year #monsterdon

@allanb "Please, leave me here to die, I'm not worth the fuss. It's fine" #monsterdon

"He poked him with a sharp stick and he died. the End "

#monsterdon

C'mon Gar, you don't need a pistol, just pick up one of those trees and hit the snowbeast

#monsterdon

They killed the cameraman! #monsterdon

Uh oh! Snowbeast took the rifles? #monsterdon

@crazypedia I think they failed their morale check so hard that they were too scared to get the guns when they ran away from the #snowbeast the first time. #monsterdon

I don't care if I end up on an ice planet, I am never touching skis after this fucking movie

#monsterdon

DANGER TUBA ALERT

#Monsterdon

don't french fries until you see the white of his eyes

#monsterdon

are they implying the snowbeast took the rifles because i will accept snowbeast shooting from the hip off a snowmobile in place of snowbeast ski-chase scene #monsterdon

There's a ski resort near my town. I can't imagine local cops recruiting the stoner bros who work there for a Bigfoot posse.

(Full disclosure: I worked at the lodge the year after high school. I got fired for stealing alcohol.)

#monsterdon

does the beast get lice or fleas?

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

#monsterdon _bigfoot kicks over an inexplicably convenient pile of logs and clobbers the sheriff hanging out in the camper_

_point-of-view shot as bigfoot attacks the sheriff, freeze-frame, fade to red_

@k8eb: "I one hundred percent thought that's how the film was going to end!"

My theory is that the Cullens moved to town and Emmett decided that Yeti were both far enough removed from human beings to be fair game and fierce enough to make a good alternative to his usual diet of Grizzlies. The Yeti, mistaking the Cullens for humans, attack the townpeople in revenge. The Cullens are forced to move due to the sudden press attention on the town and everyone is mad and throw things at Emmett for a decade or so. Stupid Emmett.

#monsterdon

Just a polite, Christian friend-kiss… on the lips

#monsterdon #snowbeast

the beast just wanted a sled to track them faster

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

Svenson, a Swede, learned one US accent and did that one in every movie.

#monsterdon

Still trying to figure out what Snowbeast's MOTIVATION is.

#monsterdon

@LK_877 this movie gives me LOTS of downtime 😆

Also, that scene blew my 5'3" mind 🤣

"We'll use the Recreational Vehicle as a lure, as we know Snowbeasts can't resist fucking them...."

#monsterdon

I'm gonna go enjoy the SERENITY OF NATURE! *snowmobile noises at 5000Db* #Monsterdon

I like that the sherriff's snowmobile has a little police light on it.

#Monsterdon

As dumb as this movie is it is still smarter than cable news. #Monsterdon

"So just the twenty three of us then?"

#monsterdon

A government conspiracy is possibly implied in that the Sheriff talked to Washington about this before telling everyone it was a bear; he doesn't want to tell people that its a monster to avoid mass panic I guess. The Sheriff agrees to secretly form an adventuring party with the Sweater Lady and her two husbands to slay the mythical #snowbeast, and they head out for this quest aboard their camper truck thing that also carries snowmobiles.

#monsterdon

Svenson was happy with Wizards Of The Lost Kingdom (1985), but he wanted to bury this one.

#monsterdon

how dare he kill a teenage bear? fuck that guy.

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

Poor bear. 😔 #monsterdon

Oops! Rifle salute caused an avalanche again! #snowbeast #monsterdon

Okay, so the cop and the goggles guy were just late arrivals and arrive fashionably late on their snowmobile steeds, after the #snowbeast has already gotten bored of being poked at by a log and just wandered up the mountain.

So far the monster seems both violent but also very non-committed to violence. Maybe it gets scared extremely easily and runs off. I'm guessing it's motivated by hunger more than a hatred for humanity, and could be deterred if offered snacks.

#monsterdon

My sister ranks worst response to "I love you":

3. "It'll pass" (Fleabag)
2: "I know" (Star Wars)
1: "Did you say something?" (this)

#Monsterdon

Couldn't Gar the Giant stomp the Snowbeast with his mighty mountain foot?

#monsterdon

How can the monster have that much trouble with a door that flimsy?

#monsterdon #snowbeast

heartwarming: horrifying cryptid attacks takes womans face apart, brings couple together ❤️
#Monsterdon

All this movie is missing is Steve Austin. #monsterdon

But why was she in that barn though?

And is he starting a fire in the barn, surrounded by hay?

#monsterdon

@Taweret everyone who is anyone ends up at the Old Fairchild Place.

Well parts of them do at least.

#Monsterdon

his name is GAR Seabird?
#monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 without the crown there will be no kingdom, burn the crops, burn the cities! #monsterdon

well she DOES kinda resemble Cruella De Ville 🤷🏻‍♀️ (sorry, Sylvia Sidney) #Monsterdon ❄️ #Snowbeast1977 https://gensokyo.social/@Ayyyydrew/113699861548161107

"Please tell Tony, my grandson, that I am sorry. I'm his grandmother"

#monsterdon

Snowbeast will fade to red 'Betty Jo'...calling it.

The giant is surrounded by teenage girls, uh -oh....}

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon I appreciate she actually has some skiing techniques!

Clearly the snowbeast is a trope for marital discontent but I think that discontent must come partially from the boredom of wandering around ski resorts.

#Monsterdon

Me too 😆 I have to go by the color of their ski suits #Monsterdon ❄️ #Snowbeast1977 https://mstdn.ca/@bunnyhero/113699767614869501

Wait.....does the Snowbeast actually physically attack anyone or just kill them with a fade to red?

(I'm guessing the budget didn't cover actual snowbeast attacks)

#monsterdon

That snowmobile sounds very poorly......raspy noise can't be good even for a two stroke engine....

uggg, more skiing montages....

#monsterdon

if you were going to the movies in 1977 you could've seen Star Wars or this

#monsterdon

The sheriff has a John Travolta Grease looking going on here.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon "Meet me in an hour at the swimming pool, OK?"

That line is supposed to end "...if you want an ass-kicking", come on, get it right

"tony, come away from your giant friend before he breaks you playing...."

"Yes Grandma, my Grandmother"

#monsterdon

Wolverine is in this movie?!?! #snowbeast #monsterdon

Yvette Mimieux to Not Her Husband: "I've been having fantasies about you for the last year." #Monsterdon ❄️ #Snowbeast1977 https://mstdn.social/@davesdogmaggie/113699685326278264

oh that snow patrol guy was not the grandson. i am having trouble telling these white dudes apart #monsterdon

Does the Snowbeast not take a bit of time to digest his skiers, just off to another victim right away.

#monsterdon

If the Snowbeast takes on Sylvia Sidney, I’m betting on Sylvia. #monsterdon

#monsterdon MONSTER SWIPE

Just fully open-palmed the whole skull of that hapless ski patrol gentleman in one nasty grab!

It's going to be a real surprise when it's revealed that the snow beast is just a single large arm the size of a b̶o̶b̶c̶a̶t̶ mountain lion

Skiing scenes so they don't have to act #monsterdon

something about how that man dresses, and rides on a snowmobile is just so ridiculous it's almost like a professional clown doing a performance

I grow wearing of seeing people skiing

#monsterdon

So they haven't even found a body, but Tony is convinced there's a monster.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon My dearest monsterdonians, it is time to place your bets. The nature of the snow beast is:

(🔄🙏 ❄👿)

That is the first time that actor ever met the word 'FACETIOUS'

#monsterdon

also, that fuzzy white coat is 🔥🔥🔥

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

#monsterdon @k8eb remarks that the Snow Queen Mother there appears to be played by the same person who played the social worker in the original Beetlejuice film?

the blonde playing the part of the sacrificial Black guy i this 1970s movie

#monsterdon #Snowbeast

No joke on the Scandinavian bit. Bo Svenson, who is one of the stars. His dad was the King of Sweden's bodyguard.

#monsterdon

Oh my the acting can be felt from across the valley......

#monsterdon

#monsterdon the beast needs a manicure

#Snowbeast

GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO!

#monsterdon #Snowbeast

@davesdogmaggie @liferstate They're both alive. We should get them on here and have a Bo-off! May the best Bo win!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌨️ ❄️ 🦍 👣 ❄️😱

#monsterdon #Snowbeast

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

Thank you @Taweret for hosting this pitiful beast of a film! Totally on trend for the season!

❄️ and thanks @cheribaker for the Bingo card! My fave: "Implied sex". I used it liberally in my mind.

❄️ And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: Happy Squatchin' this winter season! Enjoyed the commentary!

...except someone used the word Cerulean and I thought they were taking about a #StarTrek alien.

#Snowbeast

Ok, about 4m40s from the end,

Tony: "Get the rifles, Ellen! And the other skis!"

Ellen: "Ok"

So the last line of the movie was, "ok"

#Monsterdon

@otheorange_tag @OldRustBucket@universeodon.com a barbaric time without honour #monsterdon

@rdm The first part was about marriage and the second part was about aimless nothingness and senseless violence so overall it was about divorce.

#Monsterdon

That’s it? Sigh. #Monsterdon

@SordidAmok we only saw the #snowbeast at the very end when it looked like a sad wampa. #monsterdon

screenplay written by the screenwriter for Psycho!?!?!? come on you could have fit in some fucked up freudian shit in there somewhere. #monsterdon

And more yeti art
#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

Throwing a loaded handgun, now that's always safe 😵

#Monsterdon

Oh no, a pile of nearly perfectly cylindrical logs that are lined up with the camper!

That's like something out of Loony Tunes.

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

@moira it just wanted to party, and Gar killed it with a sharp stick. A tale as old as time. Poor fugly snowbeast

#monsterdon
