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

Henry Fonda in an off Golden Pond role, huh

#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

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

Shelley Winters with another fun Nautical ensemble, at least she's living her best life in this movie

#monsterdon

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

Worst candlelight vigil for the victims, ever. #Monsterdon

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

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

#Monsterdon

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

#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

this octopus definitely has better acting skills than the model in bride of the monster

#monsterdon #Tentacles

starting to think this music is some 70’s subliminal MK Ultra psy-op #Monsterdon

Is this crowd about to break out into song? #Monsterdon

@starkraving666 usually there is some idea of "they have too much time to fill" or "they won't be able to close out the plot in time" but here i got nothing because it could end in 5 seconds or 5 hours #monsterdon

There we go, I needed that
#monsterdon

i hope the octopus climbs a tall building with her #monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 Don't know why my mind's been wandering #monsterdon

FINALLY #Monsterdon

is this shot... ya know... doing anything? or... #monsterdon

This harpsichord is really less "octopus" and more "vampire squid" #Monsterdon

I think the tentacles are trying to talk. Stop screaming for a minute, and let’s see what they have to say. #Monsterdon

yay!!

#monsterdon

@yatsu They never use fire in these movies! #monsterdon #StillBitter

#Monsterdon Scientists drop buoys.

Octopus drowns boat.

I think this round goes to Team Octopus.

Little late on the harpsichord there, octopus

#Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial OMG I HATE THAT I LOVE THIS. #monsterdon #tentacles

Typical 70s movie, can't show a woman without having her clinging to her buoy toy. #Monsterdon

JAWS begat continued...

Piranha II: The Spawning (1982), The Last Shark (1981), Up from the Last Run (1979), Humanoids from the Deep (1980), The Island of the Fishmen (1979), Devil Fish (1984), and Mako: The Jaws of Death (1976).

#Monsterdon

The weather started getting rough.~
The tiny ship was tossed~
#Monsterdon #Tentacles

Octopus! :BlobOctopus: :tentacles:

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977

Wonder if the octopus wears little tentacle ruffles while playing the harpsichord.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

There are FORTY MORE MINUTES #monsterdon #Tentacles1977

I keep expecting the harpsichord sting to end with snapping fingers #monsterdon

this music fucking WHIPS #monsterdon

🎶"Where the buoys are..."🎶 #monsterdon

Oh no the mannequins wearing our clothes got knocked over by that giant wave!!!

#Monsterdon

@trixter no, that's definitely 100% what real full size water looks like #monsterdon

night time gathering at the sea side, are we going to burn a dude in a boat this week instead of a wicker thing? #monsterdon

Popping up once is startling. Twice means a time out for being annoying. 🤨

#Monsterdon

Octopus more like octoput em to bed. damn #Monsterdon

FIN

#Tentacles1977

@jonny I think they're the D plot

#Monsterdon

Everybody gathering on the beach for no discernable reason. Movie ends. #monsterdon #tentacles

ok, what the hell was that?

#Monsterdon

That is one hungry giant octopus. #Monsterdon

who ARE all these people and WHAT are they doing there #monsterdon

Whoops, action figure. Big time. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon At some point you’d think they’d realize that “going out in small boats” is contraindicated.

DINNJERTIME

#monsterdon

Toy boat Toy boat Toy boat. #monsterdon #Tentacles

That water came crashing through the toy boat, knocking down the Ken dolls! #Monsterdon

Wow, actual models!!!
#monsterdon

Oh great, thank you movie. I was just thinking, what do I REALLY want to see onscreen? Someone scraping the gunk out of their earhole. Thank you for that. #Monsterdon

toy boat!!!!

#monsterdon

INCOMIIIIIIIIIIIING

#monsterdon #Tentacles

the TRANSITION IN THE MUSIC IS SUGGESTIVE AND JARRING #Monsterdon
