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.

I radioed her all night long. Until she glowed! It was wonderful. You should radio a girl too. It’s sublime.

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.

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.

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?

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).

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.

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.

John Houston is basically pulling a Bela Lugosi in Plan Nine from Outer Space here…

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

We’ve traded the heroic Russian singing for bongo drums. This is beat poetry!

of all the product placement, Nikon. Hah. Plus I think the USA colors are actually the French or Russian order of colors maybe?

The music isn't that great, but by far is the best part of this film
