Dang monster cleans its wings
@rberlim no pun intended? π
They were sucked to death?? #Monsterdon
Are they gonna call elon #monsterdon #Tentacles1977
We not rejoin Sea Hunt (already in progress). #monsterdon
They did film in Atalanta, Oceanside, Pismo Beach and San Diego (La Jolla is part of the city but that's the area name)
#monsterdon
"Now I'll show you the torso"
Ooo baby <3 #Monsterdon
@diazona @RobynGoodfellow any instrument as long as it's not bagpipes #monsterdon
I did not know they made nightgowns in that size. Also, apparently Iβm a couple minutes behind everybody else. #monsterdon
That stuff ain't buck rogers lookin at all
they're gonna cruise right by bond fighting a bunch of spectre goons and literally nobody is going to notice, not even us, because underwater fighting is exactly that dull
hehehehe suspicious company named Trojan #monsterdon
"...it'll be just like On Golden Pond, Henry, But with a giant octopus!"
trying to use a pay phone at the bottom of the lake is a real bitch. #monsterdon
@dogwelder I'd pay money to drown in that. #monsterdon #tentacles
@RobynGoodfellow though let's recognize the octopus would kill it on the harpsichord
"Is that clear?"
It's clear this is BULLSHIT. I'm out. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977 New characters dropped:
Old Dude: puttering around his house, pondering the sea, super relatable
GILF: his energetic wife
Generic Child: I guess a grandson?
Business Guy and Business Guy Henchman: complaining about Mr. Turner, a journalist and also his business, which maybe is tunnel making? I'm not sure.
Ned Turner rocking a caftan from the Jedi summer collection...groovy
THERE HE IS the old poop #Monsterdon
tell you what i don't need
this movie
but goddamn I'll tell you what i do need
and it's this paycheque
Can't find a payphone anywhere these days, have to come all the way down here to the bottom of the ocean #monsterdon
There aren't too many Neds around anymore. Used to be every movie had at least one. #Monsterdon
I came in late- is this an underwater Laurie Anderson concert?
#monsterdon
@Taweret Right? We had action in the first few minutes, and now just talk talk talk. #Monsterdon
What a moment to my jellyfin server stop working #monsterdon
HOLY NIGHTSHIRT BATMAN!!! #Monsterdon #tentacles
@Taweret Probably an after-dinner mint #monsterdon
Ah, Henry Fonda as an early Trojan Man!
@Taweret Maybe they just tease it. Trivia: βThe production spent nearly $1 million on a life-sized replica of a giant octopus, which promptly sank when it was put in the water.β (out of a 5 mio $ budget) #monsterdon #tentacoli
How drunk do you think Fonda was when they shot this scene? #monsterdon #Tentacles
THE BABYYYY!! OH NO BILLYYY!! :blobcatscared:
note to self with rough timestamp to go back and clip the octopus murder sound for @aburka
What is this vibe between these siblings? π³ #monsterdon
Weβve gotten to Henry Fondaβs special appearance! #Monsterdon
That looks like La Jolla, I know that so well, I went so many times during summer growing up
#monsterdon
@aburka If it's not already out there I will definitely be clipping that as an audio file right after we finish
Peter Fonda appears #Monsterdon
I see the #Monsterdon crew is sharply divided on the nightgown
Henry, stop dyeing your eyebrows. You're not fooling anyone. #monsterdon #tentacles
"He's got 2 sisters. One is uglier than the other"
#Monsterdon
@Taweret Playing the harpsichord - but only one measure at a time!
Is Huston a wizard? #Monsterdon
#monsterdon so we gotta a knockoff Kurt Colbain with his Betty boo girlfriend.
Does she...usually have vodka with her Kool-aid?
Why does this movie love the back of people's heads so much?
A dozen minutes in and we've had close ups on the back of 5 heads.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles
#Monsterdon Sex-positive middle aged sister of our Investigative Guy. In stripy bathrobe.
@grumpasaurus Reminds me - I believe I'll have some too #monsterdon
Fun fact: in John Hustonβs first draft of Treasure of the Sierra Madre the treasure was a giant octopus #Monsterdon
ned has the worst jedi robe i've ever seen
WOW THESE PAJAMAS #monsterdon
Where can I get a night gown like that? #Monsterdon
Henry is a hard ass.
Oh god. Not only does Houston have to be in this drek he has to wear that horrible night shirt thing. #monsterdon #Tentacles
Starting my #monsterdon thread! Mute if you don't want random movie heckling, or join in with us! ππΏ
70s actors you've seen in stuff that wasn't great
"How about a Bloody Mary?"
"It's too late or too early or something."
You can just say you aren't in the mood for alcohol.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977
I dig the original Blanche Devereaux character bringing the 1970s mojo #Monsterdon
@apLundell That's too pram...radic! --Dad #monsterdon
I keep expecting John Huston to start spouting Gandalf lines. Maybe he's about to invite Shelly Winters off to steal treasure from a dragon? That WOULD be a much better movie.
Who just keeps bloody Mary mix unrefrigerated like that
@Ayyyydrew I should get that ringtone
Lady's got a lot of trophies for partying #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Blanche before the Golden Girls.
Wow, this movie has Not Hammond from Jurassic Park and Cop Not-Tommy Lee Jones!
What a very weird brother and sister scene. #Monsterdon
Was that chewed up corpse supposed to be denim guy? #monsterdon
Old polyamorous, or something couple?
so they have a frame of confederate money at their bar?
"This isn't candy it's passion" body positivity legend, I stan #Monsterdon
this woman gets my vote. go on ma'am, live your life.#monsterdon
What is going on
#monsterdon
HOOK ME UP with that nightgown lifestyle #monsterdon
#Monsterdon The local sheriffβs office has nice hats, and a habit of concealing information from the press. Timeless.
#Monsterdon Yeah hows a stupid baby supposed to get sucked up by an underwater hose, did you think of that?
Gandalf and his little sister are bickering. No not that Gandalf, the first Gandalf. The animated one.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles
@athena_rising "...fire at Will!" #monsterdon
@CactuarJoe That was almost a line from Psych π
That jumpscare got us...
Is this proto-Blanche from the Golden Girls? #monsterdon #tentacles
A vacuum. Heβs talking about a vacuum. Not very Buck Rogers really. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Skeletons!
Cop:: Christ only knows, I don't
Accurate
#monsterdon
Is that Sheriff Lobo?
Is this how brothers and sisters are supposed to banter?
Itβs hilarious how they gave the tentacles their own musical theme #Monsterdon
Is this our first character not named "Bill"?
Oh man this movie starts hard. The codfish even got an ominous stare at the sea. #Monsterdon #Tentacles
@forestine It's weird but it kind of works IMO, in contrast with the silence
"Now what I want is a HARD TARGET SEARCH of every clambake, crab boil, deep frier, and KFC in the target area!" #Monsterdon
"It's Squidtown Jake..."
#Monsterdon Obligatory Experienced Fisherman enters. Much talk of weather. Little nice touch of a curling end pieceβ¦
Vanishing Fisherman! Well, that didnβt take long.
Oh dear. The Fisherman has reappeared, rather the worse for wear.
Gen X might recognize Sheriff Lobo there. There's a 70's TV deep cut. #monsterdon #Tentacles
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza It's trying to make a point about the versatility of having eight tentacles, obviously.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977
Ooh good jump scare #monsterdon
