okay I was only joking about the killer whale becoming the hero of the movie but

#monsterdon

i thought this movie would have a lot more octopus in it than it has had

#monsterdon

#monsterdon It sounded like a killer whale dog hybrid.

Remember when John Huston was in this movie

Remember when Henry Fonda was a business guy

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Is the ship moaning? He doesn't seem concerned about the noise.

This whole scene is ad-libbed isn’t 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.

#Monsterdon

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

#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

🎶 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. 😩

#Tentacles1977 #Tentacles

It's like... it's like... the director tried to do a thing that can be done _really well_, but _completely_ failed to understand the narrative purpose of what they're trying to do, by juxtaposing nothing of any symbolic meaning against the regatta slaughter so it makes absolutely no sense

#monsterdon #Tentacles

#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

#monsterdon

Kellyann Conway does a cameo in this movie?

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

#monsterdon A WILD GIANT OCTOPUS APPEARS

so Pulpo Paul's cousin is attacking back because he's sick of th regattas? is that it?

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

Aww dang, all the children were saved.
Pfft

#monsterdon

This guy keeps wasting his shotgun shells. Save them for the octopus!

#monsterdon

So did the Octopus eat all those boaters then?
Quite the tally, well done girl!

#monsterdon

The music is really not helping the scene, its just confusing

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Cthulhu would've been good, that was the mythical sea god I was referencing.

...The film freezes as the gun goes off? Did this become a civil war documentary all of a sudden? #Monsterdon

btw so far i've only seenone Black person in this town and it was that cop.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977 Mr. Turner, the cops and the curly hair guy are having a classroom conference about the threat of a giant octopus, and the cops conclude (perhaps somewhat belatedly) that they need to stop the kids from sailing their tiny boats into the giant octopus area.

Mr. Turner concludes that the Octopus Must Be Destroyed, and asks if Curly Hair Guy can do it. It is a day of grim resolve.

Shelly Winters has a camera to catch a picture of the kaiju. #Monsterdon #Tentacles

Freeze Frame! Then bust into some giallo soundtrack music.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon so far, um I'm struggling with commentary because the movie is slow paced and boring. But I love it when characters do dumb shit. Lol.

characters start talking and my brain turns into homer simpsons brain with like a cartoon of a donkey playing in it instead of following what's being said

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977 after a scene where the evil business guy yells at his henchman to keep doing the unethical science experimenting harder, we cut to a pre-yacht race party set to cheerful music, where the Big Hat Lady, her child, her child's friend, and some other people are all assembling tiny boats in the water, set to Extremely Upbeat Music.

Those belts, woah.

#monsterdon

i get that oceanside communities do lots of boat things because that's what is going on over there but surely they could hold of on a few of the boat things during the ocean killing season #monsterdon

#monsterdon Bitch ya husband ain't dead yet, you are lmaoooooo.

"...okay, you all just stand and look at the boat while Zamfir plays some flute"

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

#monsterdon seriously tho, idk Vicky went out there when she was against her husband going out there. Lol what?

So we just saw the girl die. Now the boat is coming in, people are gathered on the shore, and there's this love song playing. Fucking Wicker Man made more sense.

#monsterdon

OK WTF is up with this music. The vibe is ALL OVER THE PLACE.
#Monsterdon

people being killed by a giant octopus. that's all i wanted

was that so hard?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Lorde went out to the ocean and said let there be Octopuses.

She's totally safe now.

#monsterdon

Lets hope she has her gold swimming certificate.

#monsterdon

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

And she's a terrible actress of course

#monsterdon

i do have to hand it to this movie for basically murdering every person who gets in the water on camera. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Where is the owl? The Owls Are Not What They Seem!!!

"We bought the WHOLE soundboard library, I'm going to USE the whole soundboard Library"

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977 The divers do some underwater science and conclude that the weird radio shit on the bottom of the ocean is making the fauna act strange, concluding that A Giant Octopus is responsible for this mischief.

Since the old radios are the Evil Business Guy's fault, Mr. Turner calls him about this finding and says "hold what you are doing is wrong, why do you do this thing?" (or something like that anyway).

Oh they ripped this bit right out of Jaws, they'll find a body inside the boat and it won't be scary

#monsterdon

#monsterdon This music is hilarious tho, lmao. It's unserious.

The first guy to get it right! Nobody will believe him.

#monsterdon

That's what you get for fatshaming! Octopus justice!

#Monsterdon

Okay, the legs straight up out of the water was actually pretty good. #monsterdon

"they're such good friends, they're inseparable"

The Octopus will later pit them against each other in a gladiatorial battle in their throne room to prove Humanity's inherent moral weakness

Calling it

#monsterdon

Was that boat built by Boeing? #Monsterdon

since then, i haven't been able to enjoy pulpo en escabeche

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977 the mustachioed obese man, a less obese less mustachioed guy and a bikini girl from the boring pool party have appeared again, this time on a small motorboat.

Anyway, they go swimming and the smaller guy teases the larger guy, until an octopus gets bored of their nonsense and kills them. The bikini girl sees the other guy's legs floating upside down through the water and screams, then the octopus appears, fucks up her boat and eats her.

John Huston and Henry Fonda never spoke to each other, never saw each other in this whole movie, they both stipulated this in their contracts.

#monsterdon

A lot of these old boat movies were excuses to have a holiday, weren't they?
#monsterdon

And a tidal wave hits the coast

All because of one man
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon The Rubenesque fellow is dubbed in. His lips don’t match his words.

@Taweret

Octopi do not roar. Unless effected by radiation. Or The Stuff.

#Tentacles1977
#Tentacles #monsterdon

#Monsterdon all the sharks are doing downward facing dog. The octopus is a yoga instructor too. California octopuses, show offs.

So this is how fish sleep.

#monsterdon

@brooke Shelly Winters read the script and said, "We're going to need a bigger hat"
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Logitech controller spotted

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977 New Diving Scene, featuring what I think is curly hair guy and someone else driving one of the miniature open water submarines, like the kinds world war II frogmen used to place mines on the hulls of enemy warships in daring special operations missions that probably have their own movies.

Anyway, they're just using it to I guess inspect the wreck of the oil drums and weird science equipment set up in the first fancy boat scene, which is maybe making the Octopus mad?

#monsterdon I'm running out commentary lol.

Her mouth is confused

#monsterdon

Okay, lying on a chair *that* wrong is relatable.

#monsterdon #tentacles

why does everybody have to be a blonde in this movie? that supermodel lady was a brunette most of her career. her husband had a bad bleach job.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977 we cut to a pool party with the Mysterious Accent Girlfriend, an Obese Mustachioed Gentleman and some Bikini Babes. As far as I can tell, this scene did not advance the plot.

this movie is just watching random people have dull conversations and sometimes harpsichord

#monsterdon

Wait, we're not going to get sexy times? The music keeps teasing me.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977 new sequence between curly hair guy, who is now shirtless but still has his giant goofy glasses and his Conventionally Attractive Girlfriend with a European Accent.

Anyway, he wants to go on a dive to solve the ocean mysteries and she doesn't want him to go because its too dangerous. He resolves to go anyway, because he lost two good friends to the sea.

She'd be happier if she had lots of candy to eat and a giant hat. I mean, seems to work for the other gal.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Lol she doesn't remember she sons name lol, So I don't feel to bad for not remembering characters lol.

The octopus, attracted by the walkie talky radio waves, reaches over and pulls off her hat by mistake, thus saving the kids.

#monsterdon

With these camera angles I feel like he's personally blaming me for the death of his two friends

#monsterdon

I have done scuba, one thing it is not is cheap
#monsterdon

OMG! In the very next scene, Tommy and Jamie have walkie-talkie radios!

We know what’s going to happen now!

#Monsterdon

These kids are literally just walking plot devices. #Monsterdon

@ricci They got an inkling #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
im sorry, it can't just be me

how is this family related? like in the fiction

❌ diving bell
✅ giant octopus enrichment toy

#monsterdon #tentacles1977

The child has some kind of giant 70s smart phone and I love it

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon "not a drinking man" he says, looking like he was dug out of a mausoleum

Scuba diving is SO much safer

#Monsterdon

"we're gonna go sailing in Mom's hat!" #monsterdon

That giant sombrero makes you look like an LA native

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Italian sea elevators are unreliable.

okay

octopus looking through the porthole was cool

that was something

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Im trying not to fall asleep. It's entertaining enough though to keep me awake but I wanna see some action.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!
