#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
@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 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.
#monsterdon #tentacles
Is this Airport but horror version?
#monsterdon
#monsterdon Shelley Winters as: Blanche Deveraux
this is a parade of c tier 70s actors already
@CactuarJoe I bet he says that all the time #monsterdon
There's Shelly Winters. The whole movie is going flip upside down and she's going to have to swim out with John Huston there. #monsterdon #Tentacles
"In my opinion, we're in for a nightmare!"
Aaaw, someone read the script! :3 #Monsterdon
#monsterdon That could've been prevented. Lmao.
@blogdiva You're watching that Blackadder with the pirate capt? #DrinkingHisOwnUrine #monsterdon
BEACHES OPEN! --this police dude #monsterdon
#monsterdon waiting for Richard Dreyfus to show up and blame it on a tiger shark
So was he skeletonized after we saw him? Did the teens do it?
#monsterdon she left the baby. Lol she's so dumb.
My mother always warned me I'd get wrinkly if I stayed in the water too long. #Monsterdon
okay i'm more of a musical amateur, but i probably wouldn't choose harpsichord for marine suspense and horror #Monsterdon
Man. Pump the brakes a little movie. I'm having trouble keeping up here. #monsterdon #Tentacles
The octopus did double duty for this film by also playing the harpsichord. #Monsterdon
Wow
#Monsterdon
Tentacles - 2
Humans - 0
luuuunch booooooox luuuuunch boooooox ooooon theeeee
Ooh, a trimaran!
Was anyone expecting a pegleg guy, because I certainly was not. #Monsterdon
Well that's two people with unusual leg prosthetics, is that gonna be a theme? #Monsterdon
Oh no! The little fatso! :blobastonished: #Monsterdon
movie is like "no plot armor, no child armor, no speed buffs and all enemies roll 100% critical" #monsterdon
Just appetizer I'm guessing
Never talk to your baby like that, it attracts tentacle monsters.
"...I'm sure the baby will be fine .... AAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
somewhere in this apartment there is a pic of me leaning onto the horn of my dad's white Impala in front of my grandma's house, sometime inthe early 1970s
baby is summoning octopus just to avoid eating her veggies
#monsterdon #Tentacles #monsterdon #Tentacles
This movie was supposed to be Henry Fondaβs swan song, but then on Golden Pond happened. #Monsterdon
SHE LEFT THE BABY!!!!!!
#Monsterdon
THRILL at the extended "tuning the radio" scene!! CHILL with the blurry waterfront footage!!!
Man are they gonna ice a baby right away? They think they're hardcore, huh #Monsterdon
@Lazarou twist: the octopus and orca team up to take down yachts and eat the rich!
At least the music will be somewhat good. Stelvio Cipriani πΆ #monsterdon
Really enjoying this Chill Music With CB Radio Chatter To Fall Asleep To opening music.
#monsterdon #tentacles
Soundtrack somewhere between annoying beach romance and Catholic Confessional? #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon with seafood dinner, let's goooooooooo
It's time for Monsterdon, so unless you want to see random commentary about a movie involving tentacles, you might want to mute me for a bit.
Will Samuel Z Arkoff displace Samuel L Jackson in the list of top Samuels with middle initials? Only one way to find out!
Subtitles went with "Make a fatty cake for me" as the mother speaks to baby
#monsterdon SHEL LEY WIN TERS *clap clap clapclapclap*
Pre-roll ads #tubitv #monsterdon
Tentacles, in 60s weed poster font! #Monsterdon
HENRY FONDA #monsterdon
@Taweret get ready, get set, tentacle
Keep an eye on that baby buggy! We have movie sign!!! #monsterdon #Tentacles
It ainβt Chinatown Jake.
i think was when we watched this with librarypunk. see what i'm saying about "lightly moderated." (dommy-mommy was a keyword i had created previously so it passed review more easily).
#monsterdon
i wonder what movie the harpsichord disco was originally for #Monsterdon
got good news from #IMDBVandalism from more than a year past when we watched Atragon
@morganmay @apLundell yeah the movie started off with high stakes and slowly deflated (like that lost rubber octopus) #Monsterdon
Sorry I missed #Monsterdon, I got distracted by practicing puppetry to 80s music. I hope this new #ConspiracyTheory makes up for my absence:
#MattGaetz is one of Roger's personas from #AmericanDad

Wait, I missed Henry Fonda and Claude Atkins????? #Monsterdon
@plaidtron3000 I advocated for it. #Monsterdon
I voted for this. I have only myself to blame. #LesserEvil #monsterdon #tentacles
@raindrops_and_roses It was epic. #Monsterdon
βIf youβre ever feeling down, experiencing imposter syndrome, or just feel like giving up because youβre not good enough, rememberβ¦ you werenβt in the movie Tentacles, but Shelly Winters, John Huston, and Henry Fucking Fonda were, and that makes you way better than them.β
And why did the movie go out of its way to let us know the mom/sister character was sleeping around?
I don't think she even talked to a man for the entire rest of the film.
I arrived home several hours later than I'd hoped to and missed #Monsterdon. Was this week worth a late watch?
Nearly 3000 posts today in #monsterdon
Impressive!
@gwozniak The soundtrack has THREE (3) versions of this song!!! #Monsterdon
"Marginally more watchable than Mitchell or Decoys II: Alien Seduction."
Honestly, if those two guys just started macking on the sailboat and then just went below decks, the ending would have been better. #Monsterdon
@moira @Taweret Yeah that's gonna take some elbow grease. #Monsterdon
And that old reporter who lives with his sister.
He was going to get sued unless he could prove the tunneling company was responsible for all the deaths.
They didn't follow up on that storyline, but he's totally getting sued, right?
And why did he live with his sister anyway. That was weird, right?
@JoeWynne @ramsey @blogdiva Minutes 43-55 included about 6 kills by octopus (2 guys, 1 woman, 2 more guys (implied) and another woman?) and the odd crowd-watches-empty-boat scene. I think with that and the last 20 minutes, I lucked into all I really needed to see of the movie. #Tentacles #Monsterdon
Serious answer? No.
What-the-hell answer? Well, it's not a firm Yes, but there might be a couple of tracks that would make it worth it. I've done the same on Bandcamp.
@ColesStreetPothole @jonny π€― π€― π€― π€―
@plaidtron3000 I have a theory that all the CB radio, walkie talkie, and similar sort of thing was primitive product placement #monsterdon
Oh hey, Chekov's Walky-talky never panned out. #monsterdon
i mean, i was gonna go edit my story for the rest of the evening, but i might have to go watch a movie, coz that was certainly not it. (^_^);;; #monsterdon
That there tentacle corn sounds good, uhm, dad... #Monsterdon
When I'm writing my review on #letterboxd I'm going to reserve a half star for Shelley Winters's enormous novelty hat #monsterdon
@Infoseepage I wasn't sure the latter had been assigned a name #monsterdon
Imagine this movie without the American actors at all
All the major plot points, if you can call them that, would be exactly the sameβ and you could shave off like 20 minutes
