@Infoseepage I SAID BUH-BYE, SIR

#monsterdon #Tentacles

@apLundell Trojan tunnels are not about the destination, they're about the journey?! #Monsterdon

@jeffron @Taweret @ColesStreetPothole @apLundell Yes, the talent in this one was not Sir-Mix-a-Lot worthy (except possibly Shelley) #monsterdon

@apLundell I'm gonna guess that's what the tunnels were for

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou @jonny I'm not sure whether to be disturbed or impressed

Or maybe curious

#Monsterdon

@Taweret that dialogue was so difficult to follow, they could have used it to hide top secret information in there and nobody would have found it #Monsterdon

The first moment in the movie where they showed the orcas, I knew how it was going to end. #Monsterdon

@jonny "Aquatic Horror Jazz"

#Monsterdon

And now a bromance. A future on dry land for our boys. And the orcas fuck off into the sea for real!

#Monsterdon #Tentacles thanks all!

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

Well, that was an ending that ended this movie. The two buddies head off to another continent, unencumbered by pesky family obligations because they're dead which they find... convenient?

I have a funny feeling that as bad as the original script was, it got worse during the shooting.

@aprilfollies @yatsu (phew) #monsterdon

@Lazarou @yatsu It was a model. Not a seaworthy one , either. #Monsterdon

The other lesson we learned is never trust a director named "Assonitis" #monsterdon

ok here's the only part that mattered: the soundtrack

#monsterdon

@Taweret maybe her hat funded the production of the movie

#monsterdon

What instrument evokes the feeling of being underwater... I know, miltant-sounding drums #monsterdon

This movie was a mess. It flirted with being competent, but had the strength of character to stay loyal to its true love, inscrutability. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
"hey what are you going to do on that theremin?"
"i was just gonna sloppily follow the melody like a drunk whistling along to the radio, why?"
"no, brilliant, brilliant"

This closing theme is terrible. Why is it so shrill?

#Monsterdon

in addition to deleting this from my plex server i will not be storing this movie in my personal long-term memory either

#monsterdon #Tentacles

What can I say about Tentacles? Well, it made us *feel* all 102 minutes, each and every one.
#Monsterdon

what did shelley winters have to do with anything?

#monsterdon

Help control the pet population, have your orcas spayed or neutered.

#monsterdon #tentacles

(not just artistic crimes, but yeah those too) #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon So the Orcas are in fact the heroes, and on top of that, the best acting in the whole film.

This is the first #Monsterdon movie that I'm pretty sure involved actual crimes in filming

And with that, we Poggi off into the sea.

With jazz theramin accompaniment.

#monsterdon

And Tubi kicks right into Empire of the Ants #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon hahaha my captive orcas we never let go came back

seaworld propaganda?

@ryan #Monsterdon Wish I could double-boost this.

#Monsterdon What is this ending?

POG
POGGIS
#Monsterdon #Tentacles

"Well, the octopus is dead, so what say we go to Africa and kill even more animals?"

#Monsterdon

"No sea lions" Yeah. Fuck those guys. #monsterdon #Tentacles

I hope the orcas were not harmed in the filming of this film, but I fear their reputations must have suffered at the very least #monsterdon

the problem with “editing down” a film like this is where would you stop #monsterdon

Holy shit they are actually injuring the octopus aren't they, fuck all of these people #Monsterdon

Orcas fucked off into the sea, that's a wrap #monsterdon

„The octopus that is "killed" by the Orcas in the finale was a real octopus. However, it was bought from a local market and was already dead.“ phew #monsterdon

does the octopus die dot com

#monsterdon

This orca v. octopus fight is so long and boring, I never thought I'd get to say that

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
did the guys who wrote the script really have handpuppets beating up a market octopus in mind when they were coming up with this or do you think they once had dreams

NOTE: This rescue scene is taking 15 minutes

#monsterdon

MY ONE REGRET

IT THAT I HAVE

ASSONITIS

#monsterdon #tentacles

what the actual fuck is happening

#monsterdon #tentacles

I don't know about the home-made symphony here

#monsterdon

I hope the orcas fucked off into the sea, but I suspect they’re gonna come back to save the day. #Monsterdon #Tentacles

more exciting scuba scenes, goody #monsterdon

At this point, I cannot tell what the underwater scenes are supposed to be showing us. But at least the music is annoying.
#Monsterdon

You'll never get your deposit back now.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

The calves-ary arrive!

with this score, is this The Final Fight? #monsterdon

Alright alright octopus vs orcas a legit kaiju style fight right on :blobrainbow: #Monsterdon

As the old saying goes: Where there's ink, there's cephalopod #monsterdon

Soundtrack takes another unexpected turn, with vocal contributions from the Volga Boatmen #Monsterdon

Oh, now there's an orchestra. Of course there is.

#monsterdon

@allanb #Monsterdon Except, yanno, everyone.

@liferstate i think the orcas probably just got tipped off to a good meal #monsterdon

W H O D E S I G N E D T H I S S O U N D T R A C K
#Monsterdon

the scuba bubbling is better than the dialogue honestly
#monsterdon #Tentacles

I suspect an ACTUAL octopus was killed by orca hand puppets for this. Christ. #monsterdon #tentacles

octopus death shot like a kung fu villain falling down the side of the mountain #monsterdon

Orcas playing tug-a-war with Tentacles to classical march music.
Looking forward to everyone dying.
#Monsterdon

Deus ex orca #Monsterdon #Tentacles

Jaunty Orca-estral music!

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

is this gonna be a "rocks fall, everyone dies" ending? #monsterdon

Rocks fall, a diver dies?

#monsterdon #tentacles

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

Didn't films have to do the whole "no animals were harmed in the making of this movie" by 1977?

#Monsterdon

...shouldn't there be an octopus in the big climactic octopus fight scene? #Monsterdon

The concept of "pacing" was completely alien to the makers of this film. #monsterdon #Tentacles

If it has tentacles, you shoot it. If it has fins, you don't.

#monsterdon

I think the octopus should be wearing the giant sombrero.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

#monsterdon Yea lol I'm just wait for the movie to end in an anticlimactic way.

I like reading the #Monsterdon comments out of context.

Poetry.

so what's their big plan? #monsterdon

"We're going to poke it REALLY HARD" This is such a great plan. #monsterdon #Tentacles

What the fuck. Orca relationship montage. Born Free ass movie. #Monsterdon #Tentacles

#Monsterdon

With less than twenty minutes left, I don't think the True Villains are going to face any consequences. Sort of a nihilistic movie.

how is leaving the octopus alone not an option?

#monsterdon

missed opportunity to splice in a scene of Sean Connery floating by from Thunderball #Monsterdon

I am CACKLING at the suiting up sequence #Monsterdon

Did these two have some sort of plan here?
If so, I don't think he gave the killer whales an opportunity to sign off on it.
#Monsterdon

And the whales fuck off into the sea.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

dude, you literally work for the Oceanographic institute, are you scared of sea creatures? #monsterdon

They had to get training lessons from William Shatner on how to fake getting thrown around a boat. True story. #Monsterdon

Orcas: 🖕
#monsterdon

The "they call me Killer in the streets" line was kind of humorous till I was reminded he's supposed to be a Vietnam vet. #monsterdon

"Picture it, Sicily, 1977"

#monsterdon #tentacles

Y'ever get the sense the director just decided to get a bunch of just-above-water-level shots from outside the boat and... just splice them into the film whenever he felt like it for some padding?

#monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social lol, is he drunk? #monsterdon

Just a weird, rambly, scatterbrained hack-job of a film @_@ #Monsterdon

Finally we get some guns!
#monsterdon

It’s just a lot of information to present to whales, is all. Koko the gorilla got a couple symbols at a time.

#Monsterdon #mon

Even Werewolf Of Washington wasn't bad. Just misunderstood.

THIS IS NO WEREWOLF OF WASHINGTON.

#monsterdon #tentacles

ENOUGH WITH THE SOB STORY, BIPED. GIVE US THE FISH AND TELL US WHO TO KILL

#monsterdon

so we are going to follow the orcas to the octopus for one final showdown after losing ???? character in the ???? vessel who was doing ????. got it #monsterdon

#monsterdon smoking my mourning cigarette, I'm a widower now

#monsterdon takes a killer to know a whal…no…takes a whale to know a kil…nope…takes a …I gotta go now… I get Trump vibes from this monologue
