She can't be a reporter. She has to be a lady reporter.

#Monsterdon #snowbeast

And then the snowbeast breaks down the wall Kool-Aid Man style and kills them both, and not a moment too soon #Monsterdon

snowbeast needs a cocaine landslide

#monsterdon #snowbeast

The giant emoting is more unsettling than see him on skies.

Did Rob Liefeld write this romantic subplot?

#monsterdon

Are they just hanging out at that place where someone was found dead earlier that day?

#monsterdon

LESS BIG MOUTH MORE BIG FOOT #Monsterdon

This relationship is so confusing #monsterdon

Sure, let's start a fire in a hayloft. #monsterdon

felt peckish and got up for a snack. i seem to have missed whatever to lady reporter, Mrs Gar. saw the mess at the school gym though

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

Wow, that's some really stirring music for this skiing scene.

Clearly he is overcoming a great tragedy by going down that mountain at moderate speeds.

#Monsterdon

Quite terrifying watching a mass that large navigate on skies, like Natures own laws are being defied

#monsterdon

I wonder what the snow beast is up to
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Day for night shot!!

Going out at dusk? The yeti isn't crepuscular, though, is it?

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

#monsterdon This film isn't wasting any runtime explaining why a snow beast suddenly appeared and started attacking people, cars, and real estate, is it? It's just a big ol' monster with aggression and murder in its nature.

Oh wait, does the giant have some subplot about not being about to ski since "the big event?"

Day posing as Night!

#monsterdon

ski for night

never works

#monsterdon #Snowbeast

Gah - nobody wears plaid sportcoats anymore. We used to have style.

#monsterdon

@Victorsigmoid Yeah, in reality everyone would be all enthused about the chance of being famous for killing the first actual Yeti on record. They'd all be going home to get their deer rifles. Hoards of people everywhere with guns, shoot at each other by mistake, because they're all just a bunch of American idiots.

#monsterdon

Gar carrying the crunched Winter Queen crown is what we in the biz call symbolism. #Monsterdon

Since when do cops recruit civilians for their monster-killing outings?

#monsterdon

Pro tip: when a snowbeast attacks your car, it's safest to stop driving and turn the engine off

#Monsterdon

So the Snowbeast is a music critic?
#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

Ah yes, the classic run 10x in a circle before running out of the building evacuation
#monsterdon

Snowbeast clearly represents male sexual frustration

#monsterdon

You know what the tuba means... she's a goner #monsterdon

Complete stranger just asks the giant to lie to his wife and he was so quick to agree....SO quick.

Everyone has goggles, no one seems to wear them.

#monsterdon

I used to live in the forest during the winter and under no circumstance would i have followed the wolf tracks deep into the woods BY MYSELF! Ellen is… an interesting woman. Anything for the news I guess!
#monsterdon

Snowbeast is killing more than characters, he's killing careers. #monsterdon

Insert commercial break here:

#monsterdon

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's a tree gar
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon ⛷️

Several Swedish flags were required to assemble Gar’s outfit. #monsterdon

Kinda jel of Tony and the Giant's spa day....

#monsterdon

He's dressed like the king of the trailer park #monsterdon

They are really into robes. #Monsterdon

this guy is full on named "Gar" and we are expected to believe that he isn't the snowbeast #monsterdon

I _really_ got spoiled by our evil moon lesbians and now i just want more evil lesbians in every movie

#monsterdon #Snowbeast

"Gar, can you shoot my mother?" #Monsterdon

if he was an archeologist… but he’s still Winter 1968. yikes.

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

You need some hot tub, lady. That's what you need. With me. #monsterdon

@OldRustBucket@universeodon.com awww, I hope the little robots turn up

#monsterdon #TheBlackHole

Cool to see Yvette Mimieux in this. She's also been in some classics like "Time Machine" (1960) and "The Black Hole" (1979)

#monsterdon

GAR

#monsterdon

It's interesting how the brightness of snow in daylight really destroys any sense of creepiness or malevolence, isn't it?

Probably why most of John Carpenter's The Thing happens as night....

Anyway, finally I get my severed limb but I am not satisfied, I think it's just someone's arm covered in jam

Once again we established Tony has a grandmother and she is Tony's grandmother.

#monsterdon

It’s Jennifer! She’s just bathing in the water trough. #snowbeast #monsterdon

Oom-pa music attracts Snowbeast.

The fools.

#Monsterdon

if you french fries when you should pizza, you're gonna get eaten by a snowbeast

#monsterdon

How did he eat shit like that, there was NOTHING on the ground #monsterdon

Our Ski Patrol guy just had an unforced error there. I mean after that fall he was just asking for some snowbeast slaughter, and you can't fault the beast for that.

#monsterdon

faaaakkkinngg hell his scene is taking a while....

lol, he fell...

#monsterdon

Did they just hire skiers to play at being actors for this movie?
It feels like most of them ski better than act.....

#monsterdon

I love me a good stand of poplar. Apparently so do murderous snowbeasts.

#monsterdon

@jeffron @socketwench

Yes! A werewolf

#monsterdon

@moira Next week on #monsterdon

Grandma vs. Snowbeast 1978.

"does he still wear his gold medals in bed?"

"Only when I'm fucking your wife Tony"

1-10 in the blink of an eye

#monsterdon

Nice, hit on his girl while he's STANDING THERE #monsterdon

What, no small talk? Just "I need a job Tony" right away?

#monsterdon

I'm not worried about Heidi. She hasn't been in a film since the 50s.

#monsterdon #Snowbeast

YOU'VE GOT TO CLOSE THE BEACHES!! #Monsterdon

@RufusJCooter Turtlenecks are the best way to signal our love of Gamera #monsterdon

I think it's the wild asymmetry
But I am nearly bald so I can't remember what hair was like

#monsterdon

Snowbeast flew in on United last night. No wonder why he's in a foul mood.

#monsterdon

YELLING IS ACTING!!!

#Monsterdon

Our main guy Tony, played by Robert Logan, just died this year in May at the age of 82.

#monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

❄️ 👹 TRIVIA BEAST ❄️ 👹

This is yet another movie trying to piggy back on the success of JAWS a few years before.

Prepare your critiques for how well it does. Don't come to a conclusion before the Snow Queen Contest.

#Snowbeast

@davesdogmaggie 🤣🤣🤣 #AmeliaKatt doesn't care about the carnival orgy (orgy carnival?) -- just that my lap is available during #Monsterdon ❄️ #Snowbeast1977 on a 17° night 🥶 PRIORITIES!

Autograph Boy is also Mr Exposition

It's a 70s movie so there's a divorce subplot

#monsterdon

A bloody ski suit?! That's it?

Pffft....

#monsterdon

I _want_ that station wagon #monsterdon

if you French fries when you pizza you're gonna have a bad time

#monsterdon

I would imagine getting laid is the best part of skiing,

#monsterdon

“We’re gonna’ find her, or at least part of her, I’m telling ya’.” #monsterdon

Thought he was going to slap that survivor there, and tbh.....with that acting....

#monsterdon

Will the snow beast look more like the monster who hung Luke up in the cave on Hoth or the Abominible from the old Xmas special? Or some crappy 3rd option?

#monsterdon

This is ad for Sears, right? #monsterdon

#monsterdon if it eats skiiers, I'm Team Beast.

Baby, it’s beast outside #monsterdon #snowbeast

@Lazarou (I remain convinced that the main reason for this movie existing was to repurpose b-roll footage of people skiing originally shot for ABC's Wide World of Sports...)

#monsterdon

@liferstate Bad as Snowbeast and Tentacles were, they were both immeasurably better than, say, Visitor from Venus, which had no redeeming qualities.

But speaking of ripping off Jaws: has #monsterdon done "Orca" yet?

I know it's not What The People Want, but it turns out I like movies where I can watch people traversing snowy mountains, regardless of the content.

#Monsterdon

I sometimes contemplate which bad #Monsterdon movie is the actual worst movie I've seen. Right now it's a dead heat between Snowbeast and Tentacles. Perhaps not coincidentally, both are Jaws ripoffs.

@jonny And Bo Svenson / Gar played the Reverend at the beginning of Kill Bill Vol. 2 https://quentin-tarantino.fandom.com/wiki/Reverend_Harmony #monsterdon

@Copperplate was that the one where they were all in a pub, waiting for something to happen? #monsterdon

@Lazarou
OMG, you're right!
This is actually a worthwhile metric for us.

On the other end of the spectrum, we can watch Godzilla show up early and destroy everything before moving onto another location to do the same - with even more useless army firepower.

#monsterdon

BINGOOOOOOO

That was . . . something. Y'all's comments made it entertaining.

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast1977

If you're reading this, you're at the tail end of a long stream of posts on the feed about #Monsterdon, a fediverse community movie-watching event. This week we watched SNOWBEAST (1977). See the post at the top of this thread for more info:

https://hachyderm.io/@SnoopJ/111004128276431553

I really expected more Jim Carrey in this. #Monsterdon

@liferstate @Taweret That's true, they were scenic and graceful, and I think that could have been a really useful element of a different movie. (I'm thinking of the chase scenes in various Bond movies for example) Just not this one IMO

#Monsterdon

@SordidAmok #Monsterdon really does give us a new appreciation for the depths of badness that movies can achieve

Tubi recommends Dinoshark in the list of similar movies

...just sayin'

#Monsterdon

holy shit, the director's "death" section on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Wallerstein#Death
#monsterdon

@RufusJCooter Where else are loggers going to go logging? They pile up the logs when they cut them down before they can be hauled away... Okay granted there is no good reason for that pile to still be there in the middle of winter.
#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

Ah! Yes, Snowbeast was a NBC Thursday Night Movie. That explains a lot.

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

Now the #snowbeast has the guns. Ho ho ho!

#Monsterdon

Meanwhile in Japan.
I don't know why I have so many Yeti pictures. It's a "Lovecraft" folder with fishmen and tentacle beasts mostly.
#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

This Swedish-colored bell bottom outfit is going to get Gar killed, mark my words
