We better get a shot of that hat floating in the ocean at some point
@Taweret the harpsichord is diegetic but the octopus is not
@Taweret Shamelessly lifted by Spielberg fifteen years later for a little dinosaur flick. #monsterdon
@CactuarJoe it's the breakout star of this piece #GiantMexicanHat #Monsterdon
Scuba diving, definitely safer than boating, no matter how many giant octopi are stalking the water π
Even Land isn't Safe! β
#monsterdon I knew this was another ocean gate mission the submarine didn't last another trip lol.
Radio. Radio. Radio. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon βBehind every great fortune is a crime.β Wow, the corporate VP doesnβt usually come right out and say it. I may be Team Octopus.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles #ElvisCostello
Radio, radio!
He mispronounced 'siesmic'
OH an underwater cave, definitely go in there.
@steggy Right? I hope that hat got billing. #monsterdon #Tentacles
This woman must have had an *extremely* geriatric pregnancy. #monsterdon
little did she know octopuses love wearing sombreros #Monsterdon
Parental authorization paperwork? Will the thrills never stop?
#monsterdon 1977 people just wandering off and leaving their babies, forgetting their kid's own names, this all tracks
AH! BIG HAT JUMPSCARE!
#Monsterdon #Tentacles
@diazona and that's just how octopus's work as well /s #monsterdon
THAT. HAT. #monsterdon
everyone in the 70s looked like they hadn't showered in days. like all the time
The Cassio harpsichord just cracks me up! #Monsterdon
the octopus is playing harpsichord from inside the hat
Ah yes, foreshadowing. Competitive sailing in the open sea. Tentacle's smorgasbord. #monsterdon #tentacles
@ramsey You're saying that's Seu Jorge on the harpsichord? #monsterdon
@jmelesky John Huston and Bo Hopkins were probably dubbed tooβby themselves.
1977 $5 is more than $25 today.
#Monsterdon Anyone want a little hug? You wonβt have to worry about decompressing afterwards.
See you later... #monsterdon #tentacles
The eyeball was a nice touch
@Newpa_Hasai taco in english is a food, γγ in japanese is a food, it's not a multilingual pun if i don't spell it like the FOOD
"Accumulater" π―
#Monsterdon Oh NOW youβre alarmed.
βHe was sucked right in!β Ahem.
Itβs the Life Aquatic with Low-Budget Steve Zissou! #Monsterdon
Sure we call it a "diving bell", but to our dear monster, it's a "sandwich" (high in iron).
Trojan. When you really need to get it up right away. #monsterdon #Tentacles
@allanb First the baby, then the buddy. #monsterdon #tentacles
#monsterdon We got another Ocean Gate mission so it seems LOL.
@floatybirb imdb is the most definitive softcore hyperspecific focus fetish database on the web #monsterdon
Viewing this movie as "John Houston Picks Up Lots Of Men In Bars" now
@moira taco, tako, close enough
it's TACO TIIIIIIIIIIIME
I hope these divers are prepared if they find a moray #monsterdon
uh-oh
Bring him up too fast so he explodes!
We're going to need a bigger plot
fun to play in the dive scenes: WHY IS THE LIGHT MOVING #monsterdon
lol @ 'Titan Sub' vibes
Our monster really hates patch cables. #Monsterdon
so being named "tentacoli" and produced in italy explains the music and dialogue. a spaghetti... whatever this is. #monsterdon
They played a little harpsichord diddle while this speaker was the focus on the screen. Gives the impression that someone's piping the harpsichord in over the speaker.
Mom, watching the divers while foreboding music plays: "Somebody's gonna get et."
so actually i HOW have i forgotten that the IMDB tags are very loosely moderated and they let you make whatever tags you want because these are A+
the harpsichord is what we get instead of an octopus isn't it?
the octopus is just implied
This sound track feels really cheap. And like it's from some period horror movie in a castle.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles
@allanb with a shave? ... two bits! #Monsterdon
@Infoseepage Naming your condom company after tunnels is probably not the best idea from a marketing perspective
I can't wait for the octopus to shout "It's tentacle time!!"
#monsterdon
#monsterdon π΅ This is tech-nic-ally not a yellow submarine
i do not see enough billionaires in this inadequate metal tube
Every time John Huston opens his mouth to me:

#Monsterdon #Tentacles
yeah, everything's fine, but just tell me your sub's not made with a carbon fiber hull, please. #monsterdon
what kind of haircut was that
#monsterdon The pacing so far of the movie is bland but It's not terrible.
That's the second scene in a row where an unseen third person interrupts a one-on-one conversation with "I can answer that!"
#monsterdon
The whale theme does sound exactly like what you'd get if you asked some whales to make music for you
Chekhov's killer whales
"oshernogerfy"
#monsterdon Betty, ed, ed and petty, Kelly and Shelly, belly, silly, bobby, billy.
#Monsterdon Oh, no! He's a William! Keep away from the beach, sir. Stay away from the water!
The beginning of Killer Whale Antifa.
As always, the police trying to tell the press to hush things up
So, did the octopus off those 2 divers or not?
#monsterdon I'm trying to keep up with character names, lol but they're so basic and all of them at once.
Scuba-diver taste like rubber to Octopuses
Oh yeah, you don't want to jeopardize Trojan's integrity. #monsterdon
Look at this x-ray. His skull was completely empty, sad really
#monsterdon yea Um they have an odd sibling relationships but it's pretty laid back so far.
sucked dry you say
#monsterdon #Tentacles
#Monsterdon Henry Fonda playing the head of a corporation doing ocean something. Clearly the non-octopus villain of the piece.
Bonus: company named βTrojan.β
@RobynGoodfellow not as drunk as the octopus? #JustAguess #monsterdon
picking off scuba divers is unsportstopodelike, so they are safe #monsterdon
"...it'll be just like On Golden Pond, Henry, But with a giant octopus!"
@RobynGoodfellow ooh the octopus got a raw deal having to make its own sound effects
This is why we have unions
For the record, I am strongly pro-nightgown. Fight me.
He's trying to discover the formula to make even *longer* pajamas.
They're getting right into this film. Start right away with mysterious deaths. Establishing the characters, setting the idyllic scene or whatever can wait.
@Lazarou Was it a Dare?? #monsterdon
π¦#MONSTERDON
π TENTACLES TRIVIA TROVE π
Q: Why is Henry Fonda always physically static in his scenes?
A: He had just been fitted with a pacemaker!
I didn't go into work one day because I stubbed a toe.
I like to think it's the octopus playing the harpsichord. #monsterdon #Tentacles
#monsterdon Oh boy, one sibling addressing the other as "little brother" in the first scene they share and probably never again, a sign of top-notch screenwriting
Can I get the "octopus is about to eat someone" riff as a text message notification? #monsterdon
i've definitely seen at least part of this before. don't know if i finished it though. i remember the line about "40 years ago" etc #monsterdon
@annathepiper The Hobbit meets The Little Mermaid
I think she was supposed to be sexy. I have no idea what is going on in this scene. #monsterdon
That floor-length pajama gown was a jump scare.
