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

I think action is happening. The music sure thinks so, but I can't tell and don't care at this point.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles

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

@Taweret two ferrets are screeching in a box to the Cypriot National Anthem while a diver wrestles a rubber tentacle #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

@bunnyhero

"Let's git him"

That's it

That's the plan

#Monsterdon

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.

The questions in my mind are: Sure, this is bad, but is it "Gargoyles" bad? "Invaders from Outer Space" bad? #monsterdon

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.

ad break! somehow i welcome it. at least it makes sense #monsterdon

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

and the whale scientist, played by budget woody harrelson #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

This guy wants to f*ck this whale.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

„Alright, enough said“ YOU THINK? #monsterdon

"well at least they're alive" unlike this movie, which died long, long ago. #monsterdon

"If I release you and you go away, I'll understand."

Oh, great. Good, that's a relief. Fuck off, human. #Monsterdon

this is the rambliest speech

#monsterdon

"If I release you and you go away. FAR AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE I'll understand" #monsterdon #Tentacles

Oh, thank god! The orcas are going to save the day, and this is the best monologue from the entire film. I feel like maybe it was truly heartfelt.

#Monsterdon

It helps to think of this movie as being dubbed and filmed in Cypress

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Um is this the call of mermaids and sirens I'm hearing?

Blond dude: "I guess you know now why I brought you here—”

Orcas: "Tuna? We're thinking tuna. There's tuna involved, right?"

#Monsterdon

I'm going to use all the sound effects and you can't stop me!

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977

@blogdiva that's only if they end up in the tuna nets? #ChecksNotes #Monsterdon

like there's a disconnect with the actors demeanor and emotions and the words they're saying. they're unrelated

#monsterdon

the biggest win continues to be the soundtrack by far this shit is great #monsterdon

More stuff happens in the ad breaks than in this movie #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977 curly hair guy talks to his Orca pals, his secret weapon against the evil octopus. He explains that they are chill creatures and should not be called "killers" while feeding them fish. I guess he plans to free them in hopes that they will do battle against their mortal enemies.

oops, harpsichord. sir, i hope you said your farewells to your orca partners. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon And now a long exchange about fish sounds. Apparently our orca-wrangler talks to the fishes. And ornery cephalopods.

@trixter Definitely clairvoyant. To counter the psychic crabs #monsterdon

"They used to call you killers. They used to call me that on the street."

Oh JFC.

#Monsterdon

some of it is that the audio is bad but some of it is that the actors aren't like acting at all

they're just saying stuff

#monsterdon

Ohhhhh, he's the fish whisperer.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW TO THE RESCUE #Monsterdon #tentacles

@jonny the real octopus was man all along #Monsterdon

@Lazarou Or, hear me out, Orca joins Tentacles and takes out the rest of the boats.
#Monsterdon

"This one's different. This one's tasted blood." Just like every other octopus?

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977

all octopi large or small have a sense of foresight

#AnimalFacts #monsterdon

"all octopi large or small have a sense of foresight" - clearly not if they are going to appear in this movie

#Monsterdon

Movie: "All octopi, large or small, have a sense of foresight."

Everyone in our living room: "What?!"

#Monsterdon

Can I get a professor of music to weigh in on this fucking movie's sound track? I feel like @reillypascal might have some input on this. (Soundtrack of Tentacles (1977)) #monsterdon #tentacles

"Sure there wasnt anyone else?"
*half-hearted shrug*
##Monsterdon

maybe not feed _what_ for a while? octopus babies? fish? gremlins?

#monsterdon #Tentacles

i don't think blonde oceanographic dude has a girlfriend, i think he's in a thruple with two orcas. this is just by way of saying that maybe there is room for Gandalf in their family after all. #monsterdon

#monsterdon I swear now they're playing the military slow march sounding snare part on the hi-hat.

Also: 🎶 This is also not-a-submarine

actual footage of me during the dialogue scenes

#monsterdon on

I genuinely don't see how this film could continue for another half an hour. #Monsterdon

"Sure there wasn't anybody else?"

No? Oh well, I guess we lost a few kids. Whatever, let's not worry about it.

#monsterdon

@allanb Yabbut that's at 1 frame per minute? #Monsterdon

Octopisplaining #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon This tragic scene ruined by (a) bad acting, (b) inappropriate music, (c) utter lack of the extras taking it seriously. Minimum wage work, I imagine.

@allanb yeah I think the implication is that one got eaten

#Monsterdon

@allanb nothing's happened yet, why would anything start happening now?

#monsterdon #Tentacles

@Lazarou @moira When I saw all the boats capsized and no one around, I assumed they were all dead. Then, we see Coast Guard ships with all the boaters crammed on them? When did that happen? #Monsterdon

Honest to god, I want a peek into the mind of the composer for this film. They are doing WILD shit and I don't know whether to be terrified or amazed. #Monsterdon

Snare drums of war. It just got real #Monsterdon

@Lazarou Even cowardice implies intent, I don't even think there's that much happening here!

#monsterdon #Tentacles

So the octopus ate only 1 kid?

I feel ripped off

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Lol wtf are the parents doing? They should be focused on the race not uncle sam.
