So brave of this woman to raise children who don’t speak her language. #monsterdon #OkayImFixatedOnTheDubbingThing

I mean, this movie is _definitely_ of a time. we'd have sent a robot by now. #monsterdon

C'mere, lover, let me put you in a romantic half-nelson. #Monsterdon

@moira put that hat on someone wearing the nightgown and they'd be unstoppable. and/or a wizard #Monsterdon

Every time I watch 70s tv or movies I want people's glasses. And decor #Monsterdon

So THAT'S where I parked my Vespa!
#monsterdon

okay, the underwater two seater is cool tho. #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I feel like they're 30 seconds from a divorce.

#monsterdon #tentacles

What in the hell is this vehicle lmfaooooo #monsterdon #Tentacles1977

@Taweret working on its studio recording of Scarlatti's sonatas

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Why do you have to keep pushing so hard?” COUGH.

The softcore music is not helping me keep my mind out of the gutter.

1970s #Monsterdon #MojoMoment

@ricci yeah, shelly winters's hat

#monsterdon #Tentacles

@trixter They came with the hat. #monsterdon #Tentacles

awww, I love those little aqua-shuttle things they had in 70s movies,

#monsterdon

foragers hiking through oregon, searching for shelly winters' hat #monsterdon

“Everything come out alright?” Hey, that’s MY joke. #Monsterdon #tentacles

#monsterdon Vicky reminds me of Lorde, they kinda look similar idk.

@steggy Exactly that kind of scheme!

#monsterdon #tentacles

Okay movie. I said pump the brakes. Not drive off a cliff. #monsterdon #Tentacles

more jorts... #monsterdon

It is fun that my autocorrect really wants to make tentacles into testicles and I swear that is not me
#monsterdon

I too like having a cherry tomato necklace.

#monsterdon

@strangefour that kid's tan is PERFECT

#monsterdon #Tentacles

@trixter Do you think she's hired them so she can get the prize money from the sailing race? Intrigue!

#Monsterdon

why is she wearing a maraschino cherry around her neck
was that the style at the time
#monsterdon #Tentacles

This is BY FAR the least believable romantic scene we've ever seen on #Monsterdon, and THAT IS SAYING SOMETHING.

who wrote any of this. was anyone writing any of this #monsterdon

#monsterdon yeah take up a new hobby, like helping mom bedazzle her jardrobe (jean wardrobe)

#Monsterdon The musical sting - for the radio? Will the octopus radio in with ransom demands?

the sex-positive lady scientist: wasn't she a supermodel?

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

So far a very disappointing lack of tentacles
#monsterdon

Did Shelly's character forget the kids' name? Or did Shelly just flub it and they liked that take?

Shelly "Oh no, I forgot his name"
Director "KEEP ROLLING"

#monsterdon #tentacles

blondguy is like

they wanted the guy who played the commander of SHADO but had to settle for some Italian guy nobody's ever heard of

#monsterdon #Tentacles

@brooke I wish this movie did, too #Monsterdon

@Taweret but Burt Reynolds #monsterdon

#monsterdon you can say damn in commercials now, and that's what's wrong with america

"she was found in the water, but she didn't jump in, at ten months of age!"

So... the baby, named Billy, dressed in stereotypical baby blue, was a girl?

#Monsterdon

This should have come with a content warning about child acting #monsterdon

I'm absolutely not convinced that these children are connected to her in any way and aren't just some random kids she roped into a scheme that required her to have kids along.

#monsterdon #tentacles

no that's okay. we don't need to see 70s people naked

#monsterdon

@paco the baby had a radio? #monsterdon

Every shot of that hat it looks more ridiculous. Is she some lost gnome wizard?
#Monsterdon #Tentacles

Seriously WHY THE HAT #Monsterdon

Holy hell this kid is ruthless #Monsterdon

"Its against my principals to spend so much on children"
#Monsterdon

Wait, what the fuck is up with that hat? And her brother in a nightshirt?
#monsterdon

"Mommy you're plump. There's more to love" Geeze kid. #monsterdon #Tentacles

Did they find the baby's body? I think I missed that

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “The taxi driver didn’t report anything weird.” Yes, when I’m worried about Deadly Ocean Mysteries, I call Yellow Cab.

okay the sexual politics of this movie just got bizarre

#monsterdon #Tentacles

Ah, the seismic detectors are up too high. That explains everything. #Monsterdon #tentacles

@Taweret
Everybody is afraid of him because he eats fish with the head on.

#monsterdon #Chinatown #Tentacles1977

@randy_s Gen X baby. We're SURVIVORS. #monsterdon #Tentacles

Wifely foreshadowing now. #monsterdon #tentacles

@arrjay well maybe #checksnotes very specific jobs? #Monsterdon

"i could be the happiest woman in the world" if only i wasn't in this movie. #monsterdon

So, #monsterdon

Would you rather....

"You're the champeen posher." Oh boy.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

So the walkie-talkies are foreshadowing now too? Are they off band transceivers? Should the kids get licenses? #monsterdon #tentacles

Madlad just made a "your mom" joke about his own mom, to her face. #monsterdon

ah yes, the octopus is conducting an elaborate RF foxhunt. #monsterdon

oh my god woman, the next time you ask about this poor man's bathroom habits, i'm going to call the police on you. jesus. #monsterdon

"...radio ... radio"
"Yes, it's a device that converts electromagnetic waves into sound."

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

#Monsterdon
BUT NOT THE BABY

are you trying to tell me this whale has a rifle

ok so they have a sort of ruthless constantly owning each other relationship that uh ok #monsterdon

Why is everyone's, except John Huston, hair a sad desaturated brown? Like their hair faded bronze. Is that just what the 70s was like? I lived in part of it but I forgot how bad the hair was.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles

No, the baby didn't have a two-way radio, cigar dude.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

Look, just because the baby had its inside sucked out of it like the other dead men, doesn't mean the two deaths are related.
(paraphrase)
#Monsterdon

smh i misgendered the baby earlier ​:BlobCat_Pensive:​
#monsterdon #Tentacles

SEE!!

#Monsterdon

Radios. It’s a clue! #Monsterdon

We are a third of the way through and still none of the characters have noticed the title of the movie they're in

#Monsterdon

MOMMY YOU'RE PLUMP
#monsterdon

She has Farrah Fawcett-Major hair #monsterdon #1970s

you CANNOT ASK YOUR KID about why their friend needs to piss that is off limits for both of you #monsterdon

#monsterdon she borrowed that hat from the set of Attack of the 50 Foot Woman

@blue smuggle, something.. wait she'd need tw... nuthin! #Monsterdon

Anyone who thinks scuba diving is safer than boat racing has probably done neither #monsterdon

the baby was not on a pier

the baby was above a seawall

fucking cops

#monsterdon #Tentacles

"we need that tunnel" the tunnel brings jobs, what? #monsterdon

just gonna smoke that cigar in everybody's indoor space, huh

#monsterdon

@Taweret it's like the phantom of the opera with his damn pipe organ

#monsterdon

Speaking of ages, she was 57 when this movie was made, and her son is like, 10? Interesting choice

#Monsterdon

"I don't approve of competitive racing" sure, sure you don't. Almost like those kids might get FUCKED UP by a giant octopus or something. #Monsterdon

cyborg octopus confirmed #monsterdon

he's smiling because thank god that scene is over and we can move on to more octopus

#monsterdon #Tentacles

See-is-mic.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

@aprilfollies on the open sea! #monsterdon

is she using that hat to smuggle drugs? #monsterdon

So her outfit is a bedazzled dixie cup wearing a sombrero. Got it.

#monsterdon

The old reporter has strong Columbo energy. #Monsterdon #Tentacles

Honestly I think sailing is safer
#monsterdon #ColdTruths #SailingGreaterThenScuba

"Must one be nervous to drink?"
Depends on if it's good scotch?
#Monsterdon

@Infoseepage Nominate the costumer for an Oscar #monsterdon

@diazona @brucetheknife (quietly scratches "just gas" off bingo card) #Monsterdon

FIVE 1977 dollars?? #monsterdon

what is the purpose of this tunnel they keep alluding to? #monsterdon #tentacles

Holy shit this hat is ICONIC I want to wear this to a children's regatta #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “That thing saw me.” And we all know that Octopus Holds Grudges.
