#Monsterdon WE HAVE OCTOPUS. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

sorry, Mr Italy, i don't think you're making it. the 1970s notoriously hates fat people. (-_-) #monsterdon

This woman's hair looks awfully brittle #monsterdon

What the fuck! Why are the fishy facing straight down!?

#monsterdon #TheTentacle_1977

and now with FULL MUSICAL SCORE! #monsterdon

This last hour better have lots of octopus in it and less terrible jokes
#monsterdon

OctaCam Fakeout!. #monsterdon #Tentacles

The fish were cool, but I really appreciate that they showed one coming in for a landing.

#monsterdon

I bet giant octopus love fat men. #Monsterdon

DID I JUST SEE AN OCTOPUS?

#Monsterdon

You know, I think we *did* loose something when we became uncomfortable with body hair on-screen.

#monsterdon

Whoa, an ACTUAL musical sting! We have normal instrumentation all of a sudden! #Monsterdon

Wait. The baby was "he" at the beginning of the movie, but was "she" by the time the body was found? That was fast fridging. And tragic. 😖

#Monsterdon

okay who let the Blue Man Group into the soundtrack #monsterdon

"This part of the movie isn't quite fatphobic enough."
"Okay okay I'll add a scene, just before he jumps into the water to die maybe?"
"Perfect!"
#monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow twice! the scene with the kid also #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

Were those all dead fish? Confused.

The Vespa does remind me of the time my dad and his friend found a car underwater while scuba diving in a river in Alabama. They reported it to the police in case there was a body in the trunk or something but it just belonged to a local eccentric who was convinced it was nuclear or something.

#monsterdon #tentacles

@blogdiva Good point #monsterdon

It's not a 70's beach movie without some fat shaming. Way to punch low movie. #monsterdon #Tentacles

When I see underwater steel drums I assume we're onto a pollution/corporate evildoing plot, but this will probably also lead nowhere #Monsterdon

Lost bonita graveyard #Monsterdon #tentacles

What the hell are we looking at? These fish are all stiff as boards, pointing straight down. #Monsterdon

We got a glimpse! #Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie In period accurate shorts!

#monsterdon

@ricci @jonny yes absolutely

#Monsterdon

Have we met these three before? And I think that's the first time we've actually seen an octopus in this movie

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977

#Monsterdon 🐟 yes thats actually how they sleep, trust me i read about the ocean

SS Minnow sighting? #monsterdon

*italian hand gesture emoji that Mastodon doesn't seem to have*
#Monsterdon #Tentacles

No human being would store fish this way! #Monsterdon #Tentacles

The boulevard of broken fish #monsterdon

Mama mia! The vespa, she's been-a claimed by il mare! #monsterdon

Aaaaaand get eaten #Monsterdon

All those tuna are communicating with the alien probe. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The octopus is clearly just collecting surfafe junk and sometimes tasty snacks.

Ohnoes! It ate Quadrophenia! #Monsterdon #tentacles

#Monsterdon Spouse: “Ladies and Gentleman, the swordfish gymnastics squad!”

the blair fish project #monsterdon

fish...sticks? fish on a stick? #monsterdon

@Infoseepage You'd think if Octopussy took any inspiration from this film it would have been to have more giant octopus, but noooo

#Monsterdon

@paco I think it was probably their first plan for underwater transport, but it ended up going as well as everything else in this movie

#Monsterdon

@Infoseepage They're training for the next Summer Olympics #monsterdon

@wohali fishhenge!

#monsterdon

Tuna only stand on their faces motionless like this when they're very stressed

#Monsterdon

These divers are going to go past a Seaview diving party swimming the other way.

#Monsterdon

The lightsaber noises were unexpected #Monsterdon

the fish are just trying to hide from the paparazzi
#monsterdon #Tentacles

hey! was that the octopus! hi~ #monsterdon

Welcome to the petrified fish forest.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

"I call this one, Tuna Surprise." #Monsterdon

Open cockpit "wet" submarines look super fun, but I'd always imagined that they moved a bit faster than walking speed.
#monsterdon

Underwater rattlesnakes, run away! #monsterdon

that's right, he's diving to his death because you're not pretty enough, listen to your terrible friend #monsterdon

y'know, the 55 gallon drums lying about COULD MAKE THE SEA CREATURES MAD #monsterdon

@Taweret I wish they invested in octopus effects TBH
#monsterdon

The commute to work is rough in Italy. So much humidity.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles

Hairy Guy or Fat Guy....who will live?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon she's worried he'll another ocean gate mission.

@amyfou this is a classic #Monsterdon script alright!

@jonny harpsichord

#Monsterdon

dang i want an underwater banana boat!

#monsterdon

What’s with all these wispy sounds? What happened to the harpsichord? That was the main character! #Monsterdon

There’s a little too much tension in the movie…and not enough Speedo. Yikes. #Monsterdon #tentacles

Pretty sure this is just an underwater Sculpture Garden

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977

anyone got any tags to add while i'm at the IMDB store

#monsterdon

So now we've gone from Ominous Harpsichord to Ominous Air Being Let Out of Tires?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Apparently the octopus is using the drums to either create modern art or start an industrial band.

So many fat jokes. #monsterdon #tentacles

Want to see the octopus driving the convertible sub

#Monsterdon

The submersible belonged to the Beatles #monsterdon

Oooooooo tentacles is a DJ.
#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe @moira Maybe the pooltopus lives in the octopool

#Monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🐙

🚨 #MONSTERDON LOOKOUT 👀

In the middle of the film, look for a scene, about 3 minutes long in the evening at the harbor inlet. There are people watching boats come in.

🎶 The only sound is Cipriani's kinda surreal "She'll Never Come Back".

Afterwards @forestine will explain why this happens.

#Tentacles1977 #Tentacles

Random not underwater sound effects. Ok :upsidedown:

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977

Now for the Thunderball portion of our film #Monsterdon

wait did they just take the Astro Orbiter down to the sea floor? #monsterdon

Okay what's with the fish standing on their heads now #monsterdon

that is the absolute worst dugout ever IT'S SUPPOSED TO FLOAT YOU CLOWNS THAT'S WHAT BOATS ARE FOR

#monsterdon #Tentacles

This tiny submersible should totally be playing "Merry-go-round broke down" while it moves. #monsterdon #Tentacles

@moira oh I wish

#Monsterdon

I'm not convinced there's an actual plot happening in this movie, but they have managed to construct a remarkably plot-like series of events. It's the meatless meat of movies. Cinematic Tofurkey. #Monsterdon

You know something's wrong when you're hoping they get back to the police investigation storyline #monsterdon

Okay, this convertible submarine is the bomb, I take back anything I said about nothing happening in this move

#Monsterdon

Okay but the submarine buggy is adorable. 10/10

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977

Sea Hunt! (in color)

#monsterdon

Did I miss the seventies mustache? I kinda lost focus.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

@ricci @moira The diving chamber Titan stole the scene. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon emasculating shrew of a wife, telling the man not to intentionally drown

@Newpa_Hasai When did they bring in cats? #Monsterdon

Send more SCUBA divers. #monsterdon #Tentacles

@ryan give the octopus a break, it had to write and learn underwater harpsichord #Monsterdon

Please, what is going on‽
#monsterdon

Why do we have a pool scene, is the octopus going to show up in the pool now?

#Monsterdon

@amyfou

Maybe even more extreme in this movie.

#monsterdon #Tentacles1977 #Tentacles

#Monsterdon now i dont think woody harrelson cribs from this movie

but i do think all boomers have the same weird surfer biker tough guy in mind when they do "macho"

There's so much nothing happening in this film so far I'm reduced to parroting the classic riff, "Wow! These are really cheesy sets!"

Every time we start a new scene.

#monsterdon

@moira Octopool? #Monsterdon

Whatsisnsme the orca trainer is like Budget Brad Dourif, which depresses me for some reason #Monsterdon

More bikinis

YAY!
