@apLundell imagine if the octopus ate the life preservers and floated around on the surface like a cartoon character who tries to blow up a balloon but gets inflated instead and floats in the air
@forestine @jonny I'm not convinced this move has a cast, usually you have to be doing something to count as acting #Monsterdon
Need a little back beat with that high hat.
βIβm thinkingβ¦β
βGreat white?β
βGiant octopus.β
βI did not have that on my bingo card.β
@paco Those legs are surprisingly rigid for a recently-corpsed corpse.
didn't Fonda and Houston have a love/hate relationship?
"I just got my ass chewed out" is that a flex or an overshare #Monsterdon
The outfits just keep getting better and better.
"Thank you so much for taking my boy on this trip."
Have a good time, Bait- BILLY! I mean Billy! #Monsterdon
Wow, Henry Fonda is just phoning this one in π
...as we approach our boat race conclusion? #monsterdon
#Monsterdon The Trojan company been using high frequency sound waves far above the legal limit!!
That actually sounds properly sciency.
Oh hey a rare cool shot in this movie.
And wow it just tore that boar apart fast. RIP lady.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles
@grumpasaurus I had assumed it was sonic, not EM. But ~movie logic~
you wanna try that line again? no? we're just gonna use that take? cool
@jonny "The lead actors were American, while the supporting cast was mostly Italian." I think they are doing that thing where they have the Italian actors just speak Italian and then dub over them. They do this in multiple ripoffs of Jaws, actually like The Last Shark (1981) #Monsterdon
I don't know a ton about giant octopuses or dead bodies that have been cut in half. But I suspect they don't do this.

Bikini girl for dessert!
We're going to need a smaller boat*
* for this aquarium octopus to be able to wrap its tentacles around it
#monsterdon Yea idk what else to say other than they're all fucked.
Only cephalopods i've ever seen were cuttlefish. I would never get in the ocean with Humboldt squids. About six feet in size and can be aggressive. #Monsterdon
@brooke But not the octopus
This βPerils of Paulineβ music is <chefβs kiss> #Monsterdon #tentacles
The octo is just showing off
The octopus is paradin that guy around upside down, right?
#Monsterdon Got to admit the octopus model looks AWESOME.
β¦ too bad it sank.
Man's feet ARE scary.
#Monsterdon
woulda been nice to see that guy getting ate but just imagine it i guess
When the boat's a-rockin' .... it's because of a giant octopus! Run!
If this boats a rockin'.... #monsterdon #Tentacles
Is he....is he swimming with *shoes* on!?
#Monsterdon Two fakeouts in a row. If I donβt see violence soon, Iβll provide some.
I like the fat guy, I don't know if he's supposed to be a villain or a buffoon or what
But you know what, the Italian 70s? I don't really need to see a character's whole dick in his swim shorts thanks
@strangefour You can tuna harpsichord, but you can't tuna fish...
Laughing so hard rn
okay do not make jokes about the better movie in the shitty movie you are ripping off
No, don't float on your back! From underneath, you look like a yacht!
Octopus close ups. Yes!
It truly is the star of this movie.
#Monsterdon
The fuck? The octopus is just killing fish and standing them on their heads? Is this an insane serial killer cephalopod??
#Monsterdon #Tentacles
At this point, I appreciate the dialog-free diving sequences because Iβm not obsessively watching anybodyβs lips to see what language they were speaking originally. #monsterdon
Do you stick fish to the ground by rubbing them on your head like a balloon?
Guys in the 70's really let it all hang out.
Wow that jelly-roll is a star
This movie is doing a good job of making me not care about any of the humans (except the baby). #Monsterdon
Why are they stuck?
#monsterdon
Undersea Vespa! #monsterdon
@RobynGoodfellow the octopus is a _collector_
Ah, the octopus has a dastardly plan to... glue fish to the bottom of the harbor?
#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977
Okay so WTF with the fish. It's a killer octopus with OCD? #monsterdon #Tentacles
@Bluedepth ...uhm yeah nothing to do with 77 and that joke. #ducking #Monsterdon
okay
y'know what
the swordfish(?) stuck head-down into the seabed? _actually creepy_.
in a good movie this would be a good scene.
Huh. Octopus is a remarkably avant-garde sculptor. #Monsterdon
Wow Chris Christieβs in this movie. As someone from New Jersey this makes me very proud. #Monsterdon
I wonder if they sank a scooter for this scene, or if they just found it out there while shooting.
Are they letting all the air out of the harpsichord?
The unconventional use of that deck chair is the most interesting part of this #Monsterdon so far
Can't remember the name of her kid from her second husband? π₯΄ That kid is definitely octobait.
it feels like an art installation. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon I donβt think making your submersible a convertible is Doing It Right.
um, are the face-in fish like a cult thing, or... #monsterdon
This movie started so fast. But now it's just people talking at each other about the ocean and how worried they are.
#monsterdon
@amyfou We have 3 distinct subplots. One set of people are doing nothing because of reasons. Another is doing nothing because of other reasons. And a third group has reasons why they're doing nothing. It's crystal clear. #monsterdon
the movie poster sold this as having more octopus than it does
Is this the Octopus's Garden we've been hearing so much about? #monsterdon #tentacles
We fucking paid for scuba divers we are fucking using all the fucking scuba diver shots!!!
#monsterdon
god I hope thereβs a fucking octopus in this pool #monsterdon
the actress playing the intentionally italian woman also played janis in the electric mayhem biopic
The octopus is using those fish to stake it's territory, it has learned from Humanity
A producer greenlit this movie to help put a buddy who blew too much money on diving stuff. Got it.
Two-person underwater scooter. Bleeding-edge technology in 1977, Skymall promotional bullshit in 2018. #monsterdon #tentacles
@Bluedepth oooh this I can get behind
@Bluedepth because, checks notes, you get eight more? #WrongJoke #Monsterdon
POOLTOPUS
@ryan Maybe the octopus wrote it and the whole point was to make itself look good
...but I'm sure the octopus would have done a better job
I've lost track, are there any characters in this move?
Are we going to get to hear what harpsichord porn music sounds like? #Monsterdon
#monsterdon half hour in I'm declaring the harpsichord noises are diagetic. That's it, in this universe sometimes you just hear a staccato, farty sounding keyboard. Usually when you're about to get killed by an Octopus.
Seriously, candy plus hats make for happy wife, happy life.
i wonder what the octopus is up to
HARPSICORD STING!
#Monsterdon #Tentacles
#Monsterdon "mommy"
"like your mother"
Who
are you
to each other
"You're plump, there's more of you to love" is not something that should be said by a kid to his mom #monsterdon
And promise me you won't get your bone marrow sucked out. #monsterdon
Aah, that hairy 70s manscaping. Bleugh. #Monsterdon
who the fuck ARE these people and WHERE is the octopus #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Wow, all this free-range parenting is taking me back to my childhood.
update: that $1 million spent on the octopus that immediately sank was fully 1/5 of the film's total budget
#monsterdon
The hat could be repurposed as well. #monsterdon
the harpsichord is coming from inside the radio! #monsterdon
My kid just walked into the room and said "is her hat okay?"
"All the victims had radios"
Cut to this kid with a radio on the side of his head. Guess who's next to die...
βThis is truly my best work.β
@Zerofactorial @Infoseepage for real: caftans, giant hats, jorts, neoprene, goofy sunglasses, this has everything
"Promise you'll take care of your little brother for me"
These kids are doomed
#Monsterdon
What about the baby? How is the baby connected to these murders?
The baby hates radios!!!
#Monsterdon #Tentacles
