"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

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

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

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

#Monsterdon

@diazona @bunnyhero idk about snow bees, but there _is_ a Snow Shark movie

#monsterdon #Snowbeast

Oh the leaps in literaturological license to force this movie to make sense!

#Snowbeast ❄️ 👹#Monsterdon

apparently this was a jaws ripoff, which is very funny to me since I've now managed to watch snowbeast before ever managing to watch jaws coherently all the way through

#monsterdon

@RufusJCooter

There are 2 of them. They just killed the teenager yeti with bad hair.

Wait for the sequel. Mama yeti revenge.

Snow boarding this time.

#Monsterdon

For some reason I have a bunch of yeti pictures in an old folder (full of monsters and chtulhus). Enjoy more shots of bigfeet than we got tonight.
#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

The terrifying truth: The snowbeast was really the Godmonster of Indian Flats. #monsterdon

is there a SNOWBEES movie? i want to see snow bees #monsterdon

Too much commercial sign… Gar still using his skiing and maybe expert shooting prowess to reclaim his manhood and stop giving up because he could couldn’t stay on top just by quitting and ski pole impaling and ok I’m caught up the end.

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

Somebody on the set crew finally knocked the sideways icicles off the ladder.

#Monsterdon #snowbeast

thanks @Taweret@octodon.social for hosting & everyone for posting, even tho the only Winter Carnival orgy was in our hearts

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

skiing is an affront to the nobility of the mountain and you could have at least had one 'skiiers signed up to do the races have to outrun an avalanche' and ominously say 'the mountain is trying to tell us something' #monsterdon

Noooo snowbeast :( #TeamMonster

#Monsterdon

And so ends this very special episode of SKI PATROL: Blood on the Slopes
#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

#monsterdon Stupid sexy snowbeast

i think fucking off into the mountains qualifies as an acceptable fucking off into the sea analogue

#monsterdon #Snowbeast

OMG HE WAS RIGHT TO HATE SKIIERS!
Only she should have been afraid of the poles not the skiis.
#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

FINALLY somebody says don't go to the barn.

But if course they do anyway.

#Monsterdon #snowbeast

And the patented abrupt ending…
#monsterdon

ski pole pov is an odd choice
are we meant as the audience to identify with the dying snowbeast? the fade to red in its death an acknowledgement that it too was a thinking feeling being deserving of a cinematic send off equal to the peoples?
anyway. the end.
#Monsterdon

Oh there we go. A second and third quick and blurry shot of yeti face.
#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

It only took one second of his squooshy face for me to fall in love and then it was over
#monsterdon

And with the monster slain, we have no reason to hang around these stupid nerds anymore. Get lost, ski nerds! #Monsterdon

You would think by now I would stop getting whiplash from these films abruptly just ending without even a scent of an epilogue #monsterdon

Sounded like he stabbed the chihuahua inside the Bigfoot suit. And scene. #monsterdon

@Lazarou We saw it. Briefly, once, shortly before it got speared.

it was fugly

#monsterdon #Snowbeast

Thank you for a good time #monsterdon a good winter film

We are all the beast now.

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

and they fade to red. the snowbeast's last victim was... HIMSELF. #Monsterdon

…and the real monster was Gar all along #Monsterdon

Hm, Gar knows how to set a pike against a cavalry charge.

#monsterdon #snowbeast

He tampered in God's domain.

#monsterdon

@JamesAkers @blogdiva
we are the snowbeast
we are the ones who make a better slope
so let's start killing 🎵

#monsterdon

Snowbeast just reeally hated people named Scott.

#monsterdon #Snowbeast1977

And it just ends.

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

At least the brass section of the orchestra is having fun #monsterdon

Sorry you bid too much for the orgy festival and went over. Thanks for playing! Rob, tell 'em what they won.

#monsterdon

My working hypothesis is that Snowbeast's rage is from all these annoying relationship conversations #monsterdon

And if the logs were parallel to the camper when they knocked it over, how did so many end up jammed in the camper's back door?

#monsterdon

Twas a tree killed the beast

#monsterdon
#Snowbeast

"RAAAAARRR! I HATE THIS BRAND OF SKIS!"

#Monsterdon

I CALLED IT. LESS THAN A MIN OF THE MONSTER LOL

thanks @Taweret and friends #monsterdon #snowbeast1977

Okay I didn't expect to see alot of the Snowbeast. But damn we have barely had any bigfoot footage. It's the third act guys. Give us more than a claw.
#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

@blogdiva it's allegory! for how audiences tear films apart or something!

#monsterdon

One Winged Angel just can't get started here...

#monsterdon

The lumbering slow, wounded snowbeast somehow got like a mile and a half ahead of them? #monsterdon
