#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977 after futzing around on the wrecked party goers boat, a Giant Tidal Wave appears and crushes the search party's Cooler Boat, so we get a Toy Boat scene! Fuck yeah, I love toy boats.
We also get some titanic sinking type footage of water crushing the boat.
#Monsterdon I radioed her all night long. Until she glowed! It was wonderful. You should radio a girl too. Itβs sublime.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977 More ocean investigation is afoot, as a search party on a cooler boat finds the wreckage of bikini girl's boat and starts looking for the missing party goers.
I do really like how this movie has lots of boats, as it proves that it has not rejected the call of its master, the sea.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977 So far most of the action scenes have just been implied, some have been stock footage of an octopus acting normal inter cut with scenes of divers to imply violence, and so far only the bikini girl's sailboat getting squished had both the octopus and the victim in the same scene.
Took the octopus long enough.
you're not allowed to have nothing happen for 40 minutes and then do a fake out. fuck you, movie
This guy did not get even a bronze swimming certificate.
these people are emoting words in English but those are definitely not their voices.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977 just when I was about to scroll away to read other people's monsterdon posts, we get some Surreal Ocean Scenery as the tiny yellow submarine encounters a forest of dead sharks who have seemingly been implanted nose first into the sea floor like lawn darts thrown into the mud.
Assuming a giant octopus got mad and threw them into the sea floor to show them who is the cooler ocean predator, but maybe not?
Dead fish do not work like that.
is the octopus supposed to be making that noise?
True story: This movie inspired James Bond's Octopussy. Go go gadget mini-subs!
I'm willing to assert that the octopus is NOT in the swimming pool.
@LingLass She totally needs to take it off and do a hat dance on it.
she asked him why he pushes so hard... winkwink nudgenudge
#Monsterdon sex is punishable by tentacle!

Man this couple bugs the hell out of me
leave us some mystery with the shorts dude, dear fuck...
YOU ARE NOW LISTENING TO RADIO HARPSICHORD #monsterdon
#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977 After a boring scene with Mr. Turner that I didn't bother paying attention to, we cut to the Sunshine Gilf lady, who brightens my day by wearing a gigantic hat.
This is a festive hat, that she has presumably donned in order to get her grandson and his equally tiny friend into a boat race. She explains she doesn't like racing and her her hobby is scuba driving, which is safer.
(the film made a funny, if no one got that).
"Okay. I'll do the movie, but I'll need to wear the biggest most ridiculous hat you can possibly find." Shelly Winters to the casting director. #monsterdon #Tentacles
If I was a monster octopus, I think I'd want a hat like that. #Monsterdon
Wow, she does BIG hats too. I love this woman.
Her hat can be used as a tent in emergencies
#Monsterdon
#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977 after a long roll of footage of scuba divers putting on the sea floor set to chaotic neutral film music, we Finally see an octopus write a little bit, before eating one of the divers too quick for me to see what exactly happens.
Trojan Tunnels? Is that some sort of condom brand?
#monsterdon why was this movie even made?
@Taweret@octodon.social Hopefully the octopus will liberate those orcas
#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977 We cut to a boat, alas not a toy boat, but a very fancy boat. Anyway, it has some divers in the water during an ocean science and/or angering eldritch water gods. The scene stops then.
We cut to a discussion of the dead baby and the dead peg leg guy where a doctor is explaining that a sea monster vacuumed them to death. Makes sense. We learn that the old guy is the Mr. Turner, a fact I missed before because I can only type so fast.
Crossing my fingers that we'll see some millionaires get crushed in their submarines. #Monsterdon
Some wild 70s camera angles in this movie, I can almost see what they were trying to do
#monsterdon I'm not sure how good this movie will be, but it's generic so far.
wasn't the big reveal about Shelley Winters that she did not prefer guys like John Houston even though she made a career of playing sluts?
#Monsterdon John Houston is basically pulling a Bela Lugosi in Plan Nine from Outer Space hereβ¦
@blogdiva this film has many surprises #monsterdon
All those college fund bonds just became vacation bonds. #Monsterdon
lol @ that man's tan shorts the same colour of his skin which made him look casually bottomless like a cartoon character
OH shiiiiiit
OH NOE
@VKNask I'm already on the side of Nature on this #monsterdon
now i wanna drive to the beach in an Impala
Yeah, that's the correct font for a 70s movie with octopi
hashtag #monsterdon for the movie itself and #MonsterdonAlert for updates, info and polls
tomorrow we'll have the poll to determine next sunday's movie
#Monsterdon
if i buy a rotisserie chicken and wear crocodile hand puppets while i shred it for sandwiches, does that count as a "creature effect" in the 1970s?
@ThatWeltschmerz @jchaven @_L1vY_ Pulpo Fiction. #Monsterdon
Looks like I need to update this shirt. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Thanks, @Taweret for hosting, and all for making the only proper use of such a movie - hilarious mockery!
@plaidtron3000 lol, that title alone is too much for me. Such an unlikely and disturbing scenario! #monsterdon
And why were they tunneling at all? The Trojan company was in a massive hurry to put in an undersea tunnel, but why? Where did it even go? #Monsterdon
Do we know what happened to Shelly Winter's hat? It survived right? Did it do any other movies? #monsterdon #Tentacles
True story, John Wayne was signed on to do Huston's part but was too sick. Fonda was supposed to have Huston's reporter role, but had a heart attack and so got shunted to the minor corporate CEO role. I wonder if Wayne somehow got Huston to do what would have been his role?
@Taweret Man what did ANYTHING have to do with anything else in that movie. What was the tunnel thing? What about the whole "it's attracted to radio" bit? They had a reporter as their main character until like 70% of the way through the movie and then he VANISHED
why #Monsterdon
#monsterdon OK that's it all they have to do is roll the credits.
Initial thoughts? That was one of the more inexplicable movies we've watched on #Monsterdon. That was just *weird.*
The sound and boat/scuba stuff was surprisingly good, if only the plot or dialog were comparable...
well, that was a movie. it had scenes and dialogue and credits
so
anyway, ty for joining, everyone!!
#Monsterdon Weβve traded the heroic Russian singing for bongo drums. This is beat poetry!
#monsterdon This is the most dramatic the music has ever been lol.
Apparently Quentin Tarantino used parts of the soundtrack from this film in his movie Death Proof (truly).
Please leave room for a sequel, director! "Two ManyTentacles," needs to happen! #Monsterdon
If you can't convincingly show Orcas and a Giant Octopus fighting then maybe don't bother at all.
The person controlling these orca puppets really thinks orcas do a thing that could be described as "pounce", don't they? #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Free Willy was more entertaining.
Are they... attacking a dead giant pacific octopus with orca hand puppets right now? π€¨
Come On!
Who would have predicted this
#Monsterdon Looks weβve got ink-sign! Youβve called Shai-hulud!
Is that the Moscow State Male Voice Choir doing the soundtrack now?
WE OFFER OURSELVES AS A SNACKRIFICE #Monsterdon
Suiting up but with scuba gear is cool, but will anything happen?
#monsterdon The killer whales are adorable.
okay I was only joking about the killer whale becoming the hero of the movie but
i thought this movie would have a lot more octopus in it than it has had
#monsterdon It sounded like a killer whale dog hybrid.
#monsterdon Is the ship moaning? He doesn't seem concerned about the noise.
This whole scene is ad-libbed isnβt it? Poorly. #Monsterdon
He's gonna get these orcas killed, isn't he? #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon He painted his face with fish guts laced with LSD. Those whales are trippin balls.
This guy is a live action Boomhauer.
By now the octopus weighs 400 lb and won't fit in his old lair #monsterdon
#monsterdon WOW guys they're gonna do an other failed ocean gate mission. ..... again lol.
"It's an animal disturbed by man's stupidity"
OMG could this be a moment of actual insight? In #Monsterdon ?
This dialogue was not written by an American
#Monsterdon of all the product placement, Nikon. Hah. Plus I think the USA colors are actually the French or Russian order of colors maybe?
just thinking about that baby again, you know what else kicks off with wanton baby murder? Battlestar Galactica #monsterdon
#monsterdon Damn where's the detectives when you need the motherfuckers.

About that MUSIC
πΆ Stelvio Cipriani, composer, recycled a lot of his previous work. He had to: Every year he faced about 18 movie deadlines, a total of 244 scores in his career. π©
#monsterdon Based on the dead tuna and toxic waste barrels earlier, The octopus is pissed about ocean waste.
The music isn't that great, but by far is the best part of this film
Kellyann Conway does a cameo in this movie?
#monsterdon A WILD GIANT OCTOPUS APPEARS
so Pulpo Paul's cousin is attacking back because he's sick of th regattas? is that it?
Aww dang, all the children were saved.
Pfft
This guy keeps wasting his shotgun shells. Save them for the octopus!
So did the Octopus eat all those boaters then?
Quite the tally, well done girl!
The music is really not helping the scene, its just confusing
#monsterdon Cthulhu would've been good, that was the mythical sea god I was referencing.
