does a man have to be nervous to enjoy a drink? well that depends upon what you're drinkin' now dunnit partner
#Monsterdon
πanyway tell my wife i had terrible opinions
π
so tommy and jimmy, what do we think the odds are on them making it out of this movie alive. #monsterdon
Oh man, you know what this reminds me of? That #MST3k movie, Killer Fish. #Monsterdon
OH PLEASE MOMMY
#monsterdon
he doesn't actually know his diving partner got eaten by the octopus, I think he's just jumping to conclusions #monsterdon
Buddy got inked #Monsterdon #Tentacles
Sounds like this octopus speaks orca #Monsterdon #tentacles
#monsterdon scuba scenes are never as exciting as filmmakers seem to think they are, is it just me?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!
@vansice I just fast forward 30seconds now and then, when the nail-biting action slows #monsterdon #tubitv
We are almost half an hour in, and let me review the main plot points so far:
* Octopus is killing people
Well at least it wasn't Logitech
told him first day of dive school donβt open your mouth and scream but he didnβt listen #Monsterdon
@vansice luckily i haven't had any yet after the preroll, but i plan to just let them play and get a snack (and just accept that i'll be behind) #monsterdon
oo, oof, that was a rough way to go. #monsterdon
@vansice I just download it from the Internet Archive (or elsewhere) in advance - somebody always posts a link during the week
yikes, get back in the TROJAN #monsterdon
Enjoying the sound that moves right to left. Not used to that for something on tubi.
We have β ink attack and β harpoon!
He understood the assignment.
You don't have to outswim the creature, you only have to outswim your dive buddy
A+
oh cool the submarine has a built in shower mode #monsterdon
@phoutz leagues are not used as a measure of depth but of distance. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon We have Titular Tentacles! And also, heβs an inkjet.
time for another ad break, wow Crest sure wants me to buy their toothpaste #monsterdon
hurry, swim away from the stock footage as fast as you can!
#monsterdon #Tentacles
Okay, itβs actually quite jarring to go from John Huston and Bo Hopkins being all fluent in english to two (presumably Italian) actors requiring overdub.. #monsterdon
Heh. Jaws music there #Monsterdon #tentacles
I would love to know why they chose that night shirt for him. I keep thinking about it
#monsterdon
First blurry shot of our hero. With absolutely no sense of scale Tentcules shows up.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles
WE HAVE OCTOPUS SIGN
... and now I'm flashing back to the so-called Octopus in Bride of the Monster, and wondering if Bela Lugosi and Tor are now cackling in a nearby undersea lab.
Yeah these divers look SOOooo equipped for this... #monsterdon
Now we get some snake jazz ...
Mom, as the Trojan gets winched up, and the lights go out: "YOUR TIME IS UP, JERRY"
The octopus is sh!tting bricks #monsterdon
Viewing this movie as "John Houston Picks Up Lots Of Men In Bars" now
You kinda gotta squint and tilt your head to make that look like an octopus attack. #Monsterdon
By this time my lungs were aching for air. #monsterdon #Tentacles
Also, thatβs not a harpsichord. Itβs a prepared piano #Monsterdon #tentacles
IIRC hi-def underwater photography was pretty new in the 70s, so it was used a lot for the novelty factor. Several Bond movies had extended scuba sequences, a villain with a submersible for a lair, or both. That's to put this nonsense in context #Monsterdon
First tentacle spotted!
I was expecting it to be another fake-out. Give us a regular size octopus being its own cute self.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977
Music is being all musicy.
Not liking the weird sound effect choices for the electric wires under the water.

#Monsterdon
#Monsterdon My ink!
Okay. Try to pretend this is really REALLY big. #monsterdon #Tentacles
TENTACLE sighting!!! #Monsterdon
@apLundell he was wearing the night shirt for it
#monsterdon
o shit did we upgrade from harpsichord to...PIANO? #monsterdon
incredible
@Taweret I'm assuming not otherwise I will be extremely pissed... this movie has too much promise for the titular monster to be implicit (but not enough promise to actually pull it off)
Would someone get the cat off of the synthesizer!?
@ricci π #Monsterdon
So far, everyone in this film is like a low-budget version of some other, more famous actor. I wonder if the director is the low-budget Steven Spielberg? #Monsterdon
Look out! Octacam just behind you! #monsterdon #Tentacles
The music stings are all over the place. For a second I thought some Victorian gentleman was going to be murdered in his own Tudor era mansion. #monsterdon
uh-oh
#Monsterdon So far the divers are insufficiently alarmed, given recent disappearances. Movie logic implies this will change quickly. Especially ripoff jaws music.
dangit something broke the Internet box again #monsterdon
Oh and now it's bad Western Saloon piano sting music! Classy.
More drive-suited butts than Jaws!
Oh no! His Parker space pen exploded under water!
#monsterdon #tentacles
@plaidtron3000 MOVIE!! #Monsterdon
How may leagues under the sea is 29 fathoms? #Monsterdon #tentacles
Be vewy vewy qwuiet, we're hunting pianists....
"...what happened to the internet?"
"Octopus ate it."
The underwater parts really help cover up the acting π
Titan beta 0.1
@steggy It's got a nice beat. #Monsterdon
and now a nautical interlude
#monsterdon to the tune of danke schoen
πΆ Bathosphere
sexist Bathosphere πΆ
blue and yellow blue and yellow wait a minute is that amazi-girl's amazi-trawler? What's it doing in Italy?!
Don't worry, I hear nothing cures fear of the ocean like being forced to fight a giant octopus. #monsterdon
@lorgonumputz Nah, the octopus is carrying the harpsidcord.
Medical examiner: "This bone is without... It's marrow! Some thing has sucked out it's marrow!"
Harpsichord player's getting greedy now #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Come on, let's get back to Sheriff Lobo.
That seemed like a pretty smooth landing. #monsterdon
#monsterdon Let animals be free.
Imagine how much scarier Jaws would have been if Williams had used more harpsichord. #monsterdon #Tentacles
Shelley Winters clumsily calling John Huston "little brother" when he's 14 goddamn years older than her
is really something
The harpsichord sting music, though!

#Monsterdon #Tentacles
β:BlobCat_Think:β if i learn to scuba dive maybe one day i can appear in a terrible movie too
#monsterdon #Tentacles
Serious props for the actual diving bell. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon We have us some deep down divers, time for divers alarums and excursions.
#monsterdon Aquariums shouldn't exist.
Corey knew something was shady. #monsterdon
OK folks, we have 2 humans in the water! It's a chance for a two-fer. #Monsterdon
@amyfou I feel like we may never know
Sitar JAWS
"...And turn the harpsichord off before you exit the bell!" #Monsterdon
@Infoseepage Naming your condom company after tunnels is probably not the best idea from a marketing perspective
oh hey it's the humming sound I hear when I put my head down on my couch, not ominous at all
I appreciate the harpsichord riff to remind the audience sumthin's a brewin' #Monsterdon
Are these what submarines look like? #monsterdon
Oooh! We got a full arpeggio that time! #Monsterdon
#monsterdon "Hey Henry Fonda, you look like a pretty affluent guy, you got a yacht around here somewhere?"
A horny sister in epic PJs reminiscing with her brother about their dead parents. Sexy music when orcas appear. Harpsichord tentacle attacks.
Italian cinema is π₯
