I'd say these two sailors should get a room, but they've already got a whole boat.
#Monsterdon

No Vertebrates Were Harmed in the Filming of This Movie #Monsterdon #tentacles

Sailboat racing along, Orcas standing still in calm water. Sure, why not
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon makes my mind replay the Godzilla Main Theme from the 1954 film. #Gojira #Godzilla

Animatronic whale, right? #monsterdon

Avalanche! #Monsterdon

Well that was terrible thanks @Taweret and fellow monsterdonners #monsterdon #Tentacles1977

This movie could have used more sailing
#monsterdon

Yeah, I've had better days too, movie

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

what a kind of an end was this? what happened to the newspaper dude?
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon undersea men in suits fight‼️

Not watching #Monsterdon this week and frantically dodging #Monsterdon posts and managing to fav one good non- #Monsterdon post #lifegoals #nailedit #Monsterdon #imnotjustcomplainingiknowicouldmuteit

@combatwombat That which is dead may never die #monsterdon

#monsterdon whoops, laundry timer, hope I don't miss anything

...and now it's a sack of potatoes! #monsterdon

Yet another thing I was completely unprepared for: a mens chorus in the soundtrack. #monsterdon

I seriously can't get over this. They spent ONE MILLION DOLLARS on an octopus model that immediately sank, so they finished the movie with a couple of rubber toys and some poor aquarium pet. Fuckin' wild. #Monsterdon

This whole movie was fucking around at sea.
We can never fuck off into it, we are cursed to already be there.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles

#monsterdon They should honestly let the killer whales battle the Octopus.

and now, an old spice commercial

#monsterdon #Tentacles

"...what do octopus sound like?"
"No idea, but I got some cat growl sounds."
"Okay, use that."

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

And thus the plot to Star Trek IV was written.

#monsterdon

But will he be able to play the harpsichord again? #monsterdon #Tentacles

And now the Sioux Nation attacks #Monsterdon

Impressive that the orcas understood their instructions so well. #Monsterdon

This is not a movie suited for headphones

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

@cheribaker this movie but with the muppets #monsterdon

This movie is very bad at following through on its death scenes

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon so how many times has the octopus broken up reef rocks?! more than once (before the first onscreen kill) seems absurd.

I'm really digging the slide-whistle soundtrack.

This is a lie.

#monsterdon #tentacles

so like what even was going on in the whole part of the movie after the first 10 minutes and before the last 10 minutes #monsterdon

i'm going to work on the crossword until this dumb scuba scene is over #monsterdon

This octopus is laughing like Beavis #Monsterdon #tentacles

This isn't Duel of the Fates, movie.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Orcas? This is CHEATING!”

Is... Is the last ten minutes of this film literally just some poor octopus being assaulted by an asshole with an orca toy? #Monsterdon

And so they went off into the ocean #monsterdon

This music is making me think Clint Eastwood is going to show up in a poncho and shoot the fuck out of this octopus. #monsterdon #Tentacles

where the fuck is tor johnson when you need him

#monsterdon #Tentacles

@JoeWynne Yes. It’s not just you. #Monsterdon

@floatybirb An individual by the name of Stelvio Cipriani according to IMDB #monsterdon

congrats, you all have Assonitis now.

Seek help.

#monsterdon #tentacles

i... what the hell did i just watch... i mean... what the actual hell...

10/10, peak #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Oh, thank GOD.

Classical music.

(I said I was ready for some violins earlier.)

Oh. Yeah these are totally Italian actors.
#monsterdon

@Taweret why ask why at least *something* is finally happening in this #Monsterdon :blobcheeky:

Are you hearing this male choir now?

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977 #Tentacles

I've seen Quint many times, and you sir, you are no Quint.

#Monsterdon

They just ran out of music! It just stops mid fight...
#Monsterdon #Tentacles

Seriously. Someone was PAID to do that orca puppet scene. Like paid real money. #monsterdon #Tentacles

@cheribaker this part really bothered me, whether it's dead or alive.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

I gave up. Outside checking out the full moon instead.

@jeffron @apLundell @Taweret And we may be entitled to financial compensation. #Monsterdon

...I don't think that cured my Assonitis :/ #monsterdon #Tentacles1977

Mr Gordon Fisherman is chained to the boat because otherwise he'd jump into the sea when his Orca lovers came into view. #monsterdon

Underwater no one can hear you scream #Monsterdon #tentacles

what was that sound effect for the fish eating the smaller fish? it sounded like a door slamming #monsterdon

this whale x octopussy monster battle is too messy to follow. and the soundtrack doesn't make it easier.
#monsterdon

[orca hand puppets messing with a regular size octopus]
#Monsterdon

@apLundell @Taweret but weren’t we all victims of Tentacles? #Monsterdon

the orcas are probably not sure how to live in the ocean after a life of captivity dude that's like whe whole thing that aquariums need to know about and deal with #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Enjoying our very experienced divers being repeatedly startled by common but quite small animals.

How much d'you think the special effects guys got paid to poke some poor octopus with a pair of $5 rubber orca models from the zoo gift shop? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Dr. Marine Biologist has forgotten, apparently, that octopuses can squeeze into very tiny spaces. This scuba search is ill-thought. Also, who uses explosive bolts only when things get up close and personal??

More fantastic, miniature work even if orcas don’t move in and out like that. #Monsterdon

@aprilfollies
They're sensitive that way.

#monsterdon

The music IS mildly Ifukube...

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

Underwater landslide is the most interesting special effect so far #monsterdon

@brooke Does Chekhov's principle apply in the last 10% of the movie though

#Monsterdon

The score for the final scene is like a Red Army March or something out of Russia.

#monsterdon

that guy must have been a really good whale-kisser #monsterdon

@apLundell You mean an ... Orca-stra. #Monsterdon

I'm on #TeamMoreEffectsLessTalking
#monsterdon

#monsterdon 1:32:22 Trombonist just fucking walked up to the mic and let fly. Otherwise this music is pretty good...

🎶 you Triiiieeeeed to kill me with an orca

I left to get a snack and this whale Octopus fight scene is still going!

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977

Just--MDMA on the waves.

#Monsterdon

They couldn't even get the ADR right of the people redubbing their own dialog. #monsterdon #tentacles

blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry

so drama
such film

#monsterdon #Tentacles

@Louisa Ah, good times on NPR
#monsterdon

"...we'll use the chanting monks for the battle scene!"
"Great idea!" <snorts another line>

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

Somewhere Jacques Costeau is shaking his fists. #Monsterdon

Stop prodding the aquarium octopus with orca toys! You're being mean! #Monsterdon

I think they just got a squid at the local Chinese restaurant for this #monsterdon #Tentacles1977

If Hanna Barbera did a cartoon where two orcas protect some meddling kids from sea monsters, this would be that show’s music. Maybe without the male chorus.

#Monsterdon #tentacles

the Orcas music is very Godzillaesque

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

Are they going to tell us what’s in the tunnel that made the Giant Octopus, er Squid, so mad? #Monsterdon #tentacles

Overture for Octopodes, for bassoon, french horn, and marching drum

#Monsterdon

Is Tentacles a real kaiju movie? They didn't once call in the military, but sent two supposed orca trainers with a tube or orca, and fish harpoon.
#monsterdon

This guy is supposed to be as inscrutably loony and bent as Quint but he just comes off as a flake.

#Monsterdon

ah, Saved By The Whale #monsterdon

this is a sea creature that can be defeated by a _chef_ with a good _kitchen knife_. i am extra unimpressed with everyone in this film.

#monsterdon #Tentacles

I think action is happening. The music sure thinks so, but I can't tell and don't care at this point.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles

okay orca v octopus is something different but why is it happening?

#monsterdon

THIS IS AMAZING SERIOUSLY THIS MAKES IT ALL WORTHWHILE #Monsterdon

Actual octopi were harmed during the making of this film. Harmed by puppets. #monsterdon #Tentacles

#Monsterdon I love how the Orcas theme music is high energy classical strings.

Dude gonna get the bends again #monsterdon

@msh @bunnyhero I said what I said #monsterdon

ORCA HAND PUPPETS OH MY GOD #Monsterdon

"...I'd like to be under the sea, in an octopus's garden in the shade..."

#Monsterdon #Tentacles
