oh hell yeah marrow suckers! #monsterdon

Dang monster cleans its wings

#monsterdon

@rberlim no pun intended? 😛

#Monsterdon

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

And now Bill!!

A bad day for Williams generally

#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 I’m a couple minutes behind everybody else. #monsterdon

That stuff ain't buck rogers lookin at all

#monsterdon

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

#monsterdon #Tentacles

hehehehe suspicious company named Trojan #monsterdon

"...it'll be just like On Golden Pond, Henry, But with a giant octopus!"

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

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

#Monsterdon

"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

#Monsterdon

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

#monsterdon #Tentacles

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!

#monsterdon #tentacles

@Taweret Maybe they just tease it. Trivia: „The production spent nearly $1 million on a life-sized replica of a giant octopus, which promptly sank when it was put in the water.“ (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:

#Monsterdon

note to self with rough timestamp to go back and clip the octopus murder sound for @aburka

#monsterdon

What is this vibe between these siblings? 😳 #monsterdon

We’ve gotten to Henry Fonda’s 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

#Monsterdon

Peter Fonda appears #Monsterdon

whup harpsichord

but no scene

someone unimportant just died

#monsterdon #Tentacles

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!

#monsterdon

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?

#monsterdon

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 Huston’s 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

#monsterdon #Tentacles

WOW THESE PAJAMAS #monsterdon

Where can I get a night gown like that? #Monsterdon

Henry is a hard ass.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

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! 😁🍿

#Monsterdon #Tentecles1977

70s actors you've seen in stuff that wasn't great

#monsterdon

"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

"This isn't candy, it's PASSION"

Great line, Shelley

#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.

#Monsterdon

Who just keeps bloody Mary mix unrefrigerated like that

#monsterdon

@Ayyyydrew I should get that ringtone

#Monsterdon

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!

#monsterdon

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?

#monsterdon #tentacles

so they have a frame of confederate money at their bar?

#monsterdon #Tentacles

"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 sheriff’s 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 😂

#Monsterdon

That jumpscare got us...

#Monsterdon #tentacle

Is this proto-Blanche from the Golden Girls? #monsterdon #tentacles

A vacuum. He’s 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?

#monsterdon

Is this how brothers and sisters are supposed to banter?

#monsterdon

the baby wasn't anywhere near the crime scene so his alibi holds

for now

#monsterdon #Tentacles

It’s hilarious how they gave the tentacles their own musical theme #Monsterdon

Is this our first character not named "Bill"?

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

"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 #Tentacles

#Monsterdon Obligatory Experienced Fisherman enters. Much talk of weather. Little nice touch of a curling end piece…

Vanishing Fisherman! Well, that didn’t 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
