We better get a shot of that hat floating in the ocean at some point

#Monsterdon

@Taweret the harpsichord is diegetic but the octopus is not

#monsterdon

@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 🙄

#Monsterdon

Even Land isn't Safe! ✅

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I knew this was another ocean gate mission the submarine didn't last another trip lol.

Radio. Radio. Radio. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Behind every great fortune is a crime.” Wow, the corporate VP doesn’t usually come right out and say it. I may be Team Octopus.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles #ElvisCostello

Radio, radio!

He mispronounced 'siesmic'

#monsterdon

OH an underwater cave, definitely go in there.

#Monsterdon

@steggy Right? I hope that hat got billing. #monsterdon #Tentacles

#Monsterdon
A sailing race.

With kids.

Welp.

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

#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

#monsterdon

The Cassio harpsichord just cracks me up! #Monsterdon

the octopus is playing harpsichord from inside the hat

#monsterdon #Tentacles

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 too—by themselves.

#Monsterdon

1977 $5 is more than $25 today.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Anyone want a little hug? You won’t have to worry about decompressing afterwards.

lol @ classic 70s 'hair toss' from the young woman there.

Fawcett Fabulous

#monsterdon

See you later... #monsterdon #tentacles

The eyeball was a nice touch

#monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai taco in english is a food, たこ in japanese is a food, it's not a multilingual pun if i don't spell it like the FOOD

#monsterdon #Tentacles

"Accumulater" 💯

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Oh NOW you’re alarmed.

“He was sucked right in!” Ahem.

It’s 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).

#monsterdon

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

#monsterdon

@moira taco, tako, close enough

#monsterdon #tentacles

it's TACO TIIIIIIIIIIIME

#monsterdon #Tentacles

I hope these divers are prepared if they find a moray #monsterdon

uh-oh

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

Bring him up too fast so he explodes!

#monsterdon

We're going to need a bigger plot

#Monsterdon

fun to play in the dive scenes: WHY IS THE LIGHT MOVING #monsterdon

lol @ 'Titan Sub' vibes

#monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

Mom, watching the divers while foreboding music plays: "Somebody's gonna get et."

#monsterdon #tentacles

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+

#monsterdon

the harpsichord is what we get instead of an octopus isn't it?

the octopus is just implied

#monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

I can't wait for the octopus to shout "It's tentacle time!!"
#monsterdon

#monsterdon 🎵 This is tech-nic-ally not a yellow submarine

i do not see enough billionaires in this inadequate metal tube

#monsterdon #Tentacles

Every time John Huston opens his mouth to me:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NFo1QFz8Ro
#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

#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

YES

SEND MORE BILLIONAIRES

#monsterdon #Tentacles

The whale theme does sound exactly like what you'd get if you asked some whales to make music for you

#Monsterdon

Chekhov's killer whales

#monsterdon

That's orca for

I WILL F-ING EAT YOU, BIPED.

#monsterdon

"oshernogerfy"

#monsterdon

#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.

#Monsterdon

As always, the police trying to tell the press to hush things up

#Monsterdon

So, did the octopus off those 2 divers or not?

#monsterdon #tentacles

#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

#monsterdon

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

#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 “Trojan.”

@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!"

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

@RobynGoodfellow ooh the octopus got a raw deal having to make its own sound effects

This is why we have unions

#Monsterdon

For the record, I am strongly pro-nightgown. Fight me.

#Monsterdon

He's trying to discover the formula to make even *longer* pajamas.

#monsterdon

They're getting right into this film. Start right away with mysterious deaths. Establishing the characters, setting the idyllic scene or whatever can wait.

#monsterdon

@Lazarou Was it a Dare?? #monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON

🐙 TENTACLES TRIVIA TROVE 💎

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.

#Tentacles1977

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

#Monsterdon

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.
