@blogdiva Each one an individual. #Monsterdon

IS IT A SQUID OR AN OCTOPUS, PEOPLE? #monsterdon #tentacles

And now, a big Musical Number Montage!

#Monsterdon

@Louisa i thought she was at least going to tell him to stop goofing off but she started screaming instead #Monsterdon

These montages are a little much

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977

Let's all port boats in this parade! That's FUN!

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

Look at this tragic scene, feel the pain and suffering. Got it? Good, Party Time!!! WOOOOOOOO
#monsterdon

The Trojan Tunnel is gonna f*ck us all up in it? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “I just felt it would be a good ideal to push the legal limit. Save time and money.” Ahh. The Massey Energy School (heh) of Corporate Safety.

WE'VE GOT TO CLOSE THE BEACHES! #Monsterdon

Did anyone do the "who's a good buoy" joke yet? #Monsterdon

We got a pool going for the next victim of the giant octopus, $5 a shot. #Monsterdon

literally what does "compared to suckers on a tentacle, claws on a tiger are nothing.... nothing..." mean and why does this guy know that #monsterdon

All teenagers in the 1970s were thirty-something.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

oh, another non-sensical accent. #monsterdon #tentacles

#Monsterdon we had to pause and just got to the rescue of the boat of 3 and thus watery attack and the pretty didn't want to go have fuun lady is having to swim to the warning buoy and the boat wreck. woah. will she survive? will it matter to the plot?

fonda, christ. this doesn't even qualify as phoning it in. it's like this was test footage for blocking and they decided "eh, it'll do" and used it instead.

#monsterdon #Tentacles

What's up with monster movies and parades? We keep getting movies that splice footage from Pasadena Days '74 in, and it's always weird. #Monsterdon

Just tuning into #Tentacles for #Monsterdon and has the whole movie been a cheesy theme music montage, or did I just show up at the wrong . . . ahem . . . right time?

@davesdogmaggie unidentified floating octopi?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Godamn she's fucked.

I wish the feet sticking out of the water was as creepy for me as it seemed to be for most people, but I was 100% sure it was that horny creep who winked at the bikini girl and slapped her husband's(?) belly just fucking around so she'd think he was dead

But he was dead

#Monsterdon

Did David Lynch consult on the musical soundtrack here? #monsterdon

I didn't understand, why are all these people just standing around sadly on the shore? Who are they? What are they expecting to see?

#monsterdon

awwww do we HAVE to go back to having dialogue? #monsterdon

Nice 70s lounge lizard shirt on the slimy scientist guy. #Monsterdon

@cargot_robbie maybe those splashy waves were REALLY big? #monsterdon

Are we sure Peter Fonda is actually an actor?

#Monsterdon

whoah, this is definitely fiction. the CEO takes responsibility. #monsterdon

That's North Island navy base in the background
#monsterdon

AUGUST 21st is SOON!

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

#Monsterdon really living for the number for people still openly confounded by Wickerman a week later

Oh good, there's a tiny inflatable boat labelled "RESCUE", that's certainly not a Chekov's gun at all #monsterdon

pretty weak turnout for a parade

#monsterdon

@Taweret it's like none of the dialogue matters or is connected to anything #Monsterdon

#monsterdon daaaang look at all those bellbottom jeans

okay, this scene is also unnecessarily long, but at least it's kind of fun to watch. the whole Mysterious Cult Ritual By The Sea Side thing was just creepy. #monsterdon

Henry Fonda: enforcer of the capitalism.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

#Monsterdon

So only the actors who have won Oscars are left.

"the normal tests! regular experiments!" #monsterdon

my brain resists following these dialogue scenes

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Ok, lovely one-shot panning take to actors who actually look distressed by the tragedy.

@ramsey @diazona It seems odd that it was *that* movie with all the nudity and not this one #monsterdon

@Taweret wait just one musical number first!#Monsterdon

So glad to see that there's regulations in place to
*check notes*
prevent giant octopus Kaiju from attacking the city?

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977

#monsterdon lol she's fell in the water.

This waiting for the UFOs scene is really exciting. #Monsterdon

So now we are all just chilling by the ocean at night to this mellow mood music what is happening I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING #Monsterdon

The little yacht rock interlude after Vicky got eaten. That’s how we know this is a 70s flick. #Monsterdon #tentacles

#Monsterdon What was with the huge parade of boats in the background?

Dayum those belts!!!

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

So these boats are going where

#monsterdon

is there a subdivision in the characters between "people who know that the ocean has been killing people" and "people who are being set up to be killed by the ocean" or why are they all hanging out there all the time and doing lots of boat things #monsterdon

@apLundell It's their equivalent of the selfie shot #monsterdon

This music has some bubbly noises similar to ones i sometimes like to make with my phaser pedal. It certainly doesn't *go* though #Monsterdon

Ah yes, the touching jazz flute scene where people stand silently on the marina to not look at or do anything

#Monsterdon

Are the junior yachts provided or do you have to bring your own?

#monsterdon
#Tentacles

#monsterdon that was the last character right? I think we just ran out of characters and now the rest of the movie is going to be extras wandering around to Blood Sweat & Tears interstitial flute music

Nice chill community music night on the waterfront #monsterdon

#Monsterdon It’s SUCH a good idea to congregate by the seaside when something with serious baby-grabbing reach is on the loose.

octopus popping back up like "hey cutie, sorry about the boat, you ever see 'the dream of the fisherman's wife'?" #monsterdon

this fucking soundtrack what the actual fuck #monsterdon #tentacles

@diazona Only if they stuff them into a Trojan wicker octopus and light them on fire. #Monsterdon

Oh sure. Octopuses are always rearing up out of the water to let their food dangle in the open air. Standard octopus behavior.

#Monsterdon

Henry Fonda in an off Golden Pond role, huh

#Monsterdon

The cuts back and forth between approaching roiling water and the woman’s face were almost reminiscent of David Lynch. #monsterdon.

Not since Bela Lugosi fought a rubber octopus has something this graphic been put on film.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

Oh no, the tentacle, singular.

@_L1vY_ If it had just stuck to catch and release we would not have a story here #monsterdon

"Zamfir, master of the pan pipes. You can have his COMPLETE collection for just 3 easy payments of $29.99. Call 1-800-TENTACLES to get yours today!"

#Monsterdon

i feel like they paid so much for that one section of soundtrack that they had to leave the sea side scene in. #monsterdon

large crowd for a late night. #monsterdon

I am digging some of these old cars. #Monsterdon

Soooo we're just watching the boat go by? Y'know I didn't really require a Florida Retirement Simulation. #Monsterdon

How is this boat coming in? Is the octopus driving it?

#monsterdon #tentacles

What the fuck is this music, it sounds like the Lawrence Welk bubble machine is gonna start up any moment #Monsterdon

Those cars, tho! 😍😍😍

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

@ramsey If last week's movie is any indication...

#Monsterdon

you can really see why lucas cut this scene out of american graffiti

#monsterdon #Tentacles

Worst candlelight vigil for the victims, ever. #Monsterdon

And now everyone seems to have a sad? #monsterdon #Tentacles

Why is everyone on the pier, how did you even hear about this #Monsterdon

@cheribaker Do octopi make any noises even vaguely resembling that breathing noise? Do they even make noise? #monsterdon #Tentacles

@starkraving666 omg wat

#Monsterdon

that sassy tentacle waving goodbye as the toy boat sinks #monsterdon

If this octo was eating them, that would be one thing. But I think it's just wasting the kills!

#Monsterdon

It sounds like we are about to be treated to an interpretive dance of the happenings so far. Weird musical interlude anyway

#Monsterdon

Smart octopus, that girl's a keeper #monsterdon

When Squiddly Diddly went rogue. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Octupus can take out buoys and scientists in one swoop. That’s what I call a sucker punch.

This is the most ridiculous parade ever

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

@moira Y'know if this film had Bela Lugosi I'd give it five stars easy. #Monsterdon

@bunnyhero Is that a euphemism?! (goes crazy with thesaurus and dictionary) #Monsterdon

i have no idea who any of the characters are or what's going on in the plot tho

the dialogue is impossible to pay attention to

#monsterdon

And the octopi, widely considered the second-most intelligent species on earth after the dolphins, had to spend all of their hoarded pirate gold on PR for the next four decades.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

What the hell is this framing of everybody gathered at the waterside? DO NOT TELL ME THEY'RE ALL GOING TO TURN AROUND AND START SINGING, MOVIE.

#Monsterdon

Apparently the person who wrote the subtitles for this movie knows what the names of these characters are, it's a surprise to me to learn that any of them have names

#Monsterdon

the octopus is batting 1000 here. #Monsterdon

Wait, is this supposed to be the scene where he finds his wife has died, when there's literally NO WAY he could've found out she was dead the same night? THE BOAT SANK. #monsterdon #tentacles

( indecipherable noises )

( full orchestra kicks in )

#monsterdon
