@Louisa all i remember is disco harpsichord and shelley winters' sombrero #Monsterdon

My timeline is so torn about the music lmao #monsterdon #Tentacles1977

What is with the LEG shots?

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

so who is lowest-budget christopher reeve here? with the gun collection? because i have completely lost track of literally any character other than Shelly Winter's hat.

#monsterdon #Tentacles

@Louisa

"...it's been 84 years"

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

Tbh I'm kind of disappointed the octopus isn't voiced by Orson Welles.

He totally would've done it, if asked. Always needed the money. #Monsterdon

@Louisa Um, I'm pretty sure that is a different movie
#monsterdon

Motherfucker people don’t think the whales are crazy, okay? #Monsterdon

How many times has this guy kissed a blowhole?
#Monsterdon #Tentacles

The sound engineer decided to play with some of the sounds they’re working on for an upcoming sci-fi movie. #Monsterdon

I knew Tommy no-last-name would be a goner!!

#Monsterdon

With the “I speak to orcas” revelation, this movie may have gotten extremely, extremely dumb. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon oh thankfully he's talking to orcas lmfao i thought he was recording a podcast

The octopus just wants someone to compliment their harpsichord talent
#monsterdon

that's a grain silo they just floated, isn't it #monsterdon

@amyfou Just like the movie. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon all octopi have foresight?! what?! also is the orca caged in a metal tube??!

i still have no idea who any of the characters are or what they're doing or what they want

#monsterdon

Apparently the guy who did the music on this film did the music on TWO other jaws inspired monster movies:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Alligator_River

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piranha_II:_The_Spawning

We definitely needs to be watching those!

#monsterdon

Wait Wait, people on the street used to call this guy a "killer"?

Why? What's that story?

#Monsterdon

@amyfou If it’s an octopus, shouldn’t that be eight-sight? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Definitely #Coffee sighted that time!

This is like a cool reverse submarine, so that the orca can survive *above* water #Monsterdon

@apLundell "I need help with the TROJAN" #monsterdon

We have like 15 minutes left in this film. SOMETHING needs to HAPPEN! #monsterdon

Aaaand he talked so much it's now night. Okay.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

@jonny “Plot twist! No one will see that coming!” #Monsterdon

Mister Lobo would say this movie isn't bad, just misunderstood. Usually, I agree with him.

Not this time.

NOT THIS TIME.

#monsterdon #tentacles

"...if you feel anything, talk to me, make some noises..."
"I'm sorry sir, this is a Wendy's"

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

Y'think he ad-libbed that speech? #Monsterdon

Night 2
I mean are they not in a rush at all?
#monsterdon

"I guess you know now why I brought you here."

I wish I did.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Or killer whales?

I could not tell you who his loved one was. This is 10x as many words as he said to any human in this movie #Monsterdon

Ok, people talk about the incredible boat cabin conversation in Jaws. We'll have a boat cabin conversation too, but let's just have the characters say whatever who cares

#Monsterdon

Jfc the LAST thing this movie needs is a montage sequence #Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial 😆
#Monsterdon

"They used to call me killer on the street."

Heh. Yeah, you're a real, uh. Real tough guy. Heh. #Monsterdon

oh this is the _weirdest_ Free Willy prequel #monsterdon

Octopus ate your whale-friends, buddy. #monsterdon #tentacles

I think I zoned out. Did Vicky die? Has the whale whisperer reacted to Vicky dying?

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

I was hoping for a lot more depth in that summer / winter naming bullshit scene.

#Monsterdon

@OldRustBucket I sit corrected.

#monsterdon #Tentacles

@Taweret it's not like the plot is making any effort either
#monsterdon

@strangefour because she can! #monsterdon

"..I guess you know now why I brought you here."
"I thought it was to make a movie."
"Yeah, we all thought that ... at first"

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

...Are they gonna sic the orcas on the octopus? #Monsterdon

Begging orca to fight an octopus?
This is some low budget asking Mothra for help.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles

"I guess you know now why I brought you here"

"to feed me to the octopus?"

"to feed you to the octopus."

#monsterdon #Tentacles

#Monsterdon #CoffeeWatch WE HAD COFFEE SIGN ... (I think)!

Are all the underwater weapons just recycled blasters from Star Wars? #monsterdon #tentacles

@davesdogmaggie He meant a sense of this... #monsterdon

@Ayyyydrew Oh that absolutely makes sense. Very important fact.

#monsterdon #tentacles

Now the orcas sing "Show me the way to go home" #monsterdon #Tentacles

Oh no Jaime! #Monsterdon #Tentacles

This man has monologuing to a giant floating metal tube. It's more dialogue than some of the characters that have been killed off of gotten

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977

@JoeWynne Maybe she ran out of costumes #monsterdon

How'd they get the orcas in the tube?

#monsterdon
#Tentacles

I think the flamenco harpsichord is a Mellowtron. #monsterdon #tentacles

Gosh, for the whales its,

Please kill this octopus, but if you decide to run away, I understand... Kapeesh?

#Monsterdon

what was the emotional tone of that scene. saying goodbye to an old friend, but also asking that old friend to kill an octopus for you as one last favor, for old times... it maybe should be approaching the "climax" or "the serious part of the movie" where the plot points converge and reach some kind of turning point, but instead we were setting up a last 5 minute "i knew you would do it old friends" in the laziest way possible #monsterdon

this is a podcast. #monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie more like octosite amiright? --dad #Monsterdon

This guy has absolutely done sexual things with these orcas.

#monsterdon #tentacles

#monsterdon it says "sinks" on the back of this kid's lifejacket?

@flowerpot @Lazarou Now we're talking

#Monsterdon

Nope. No that was just some drunk guy rambling about listening to orcas squeak at him.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles

The best part of the movie has been the toy boat and recognizing places in San Diego that I remember as a kid being similar (like 10 years later the earliest)
#monsterdon

in a better movie, curly would accidentally take this guy's toupee off with his violin bow

#monsterdon #Tentacles

If you want to take out an evil cephalopod, I think you need sperm whales on your side. #monsterdon #tentacles

Show me the way to go home. I'm tired and I want to go to bed.

Please.

#Monsterdon

This movie is so weird

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977

#Monsterdon it seems contradictory to show dozens of capsized sailboats and then lots of rescued kids. no conviction to the horror.

No one remembers a couple of years ago anymore, sir.

#monsterdon

Psychic octopi and Dances With Orcas #Monsterdon

Did he just say octopus have a sense of foresight? Fuck you 70s! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon this one's very special, it realizes were a bunch if incompetent old men

Whew safe kids. #Monsterdon #Tentacles

"so long and thanks for the all the fish" --this guy's pet orcas #monsterdon

@bit101 The octopus knew you were gonna ask that. #monsterdon

They are just trying to recreate the Jaws boat trading story scene and I completely lost focus
#monsterdon

@moira I think those are the orcas. #Monsterdon

By all rights this movie should have been over about fifteen minutes ago #monsterdon

Some more pictures of Shelley Winters wearing hats, because I'm all about the fan service.

#monsterdon

"they used to call me Killer, doesn't mean anything." yeah, ask the string of corpses he left behind him in his youth, they'll tell you. #monsterdon

All octopi have a "sense of foresight"? Like just that they can understand cause and effect, or are you saying octopi are clairvoyant?

#monsterdon #tentacles

#Monsterdon Movie music turns serious. Our remaining characters still haven’t learned the lesson of avoiding small boats, but *has* figured out the trick of getting the Orcas alongside.

#monsterdon None of the parents use their radios, like wtf?

All octopi have a sense of foresight. Is this something everyone but me knows? #Monsterdon

ASKING THE SHARKS FOR HELP WITH THE OCTOPUS??????? what????????????????? #monsterdon

I keep thinking that fella also plays the assassin in Hogfather.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

a...discussion of octo-sense #monsterdon

I can’t help but notice that the woman in the embroidered dress is almost always alone in frame, even when she was interrupting the meeting. How much of her role was added in post? #monsterdon

Who de fuq are you? The octopus whisperer? #Monsterdon

This octopus is very special, he lacks the foresight not to appear in this movie. #Monsterdon

They never finished the joke, ZERO STARS

#Monsterdon

Oh no! Tommy, and ALL the children. Whoa 😳 #Monsterdon #Tentacles

the fuck are we doing with this "sharks are people too" scene #monsterdon

Those Orca in the pod sound PISSED

#Monsterdon

"let us out, motherfucker."

#monsterdon
