@ricci It's helpful so they can more easily find his body when they see it under a bush or something.

#monsterdon #thefoodofthegods

#Monsterdon yeah those skeeters in canada are no joke

Shoe fly, as in these flies are wearing shoes!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Okay, I'm ready for the entire cast to die. Right now. Just all die, slump over, no story, just... done.. The End. LOL

#Monsterdon i wonder if after this small act of mercy the deer will come back to his aid in the future

Eek, horses 2 and 3 both knocked the top rung of the fence off.

#Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods1976

narration: "my dad always used to say, on earth we have perfectly normally sized animals, no giant versions of animals anywhere. but man's greed will cause the animals to grow giant and become very mad about that."
#monsterdon

Anyway, while on the way to the island, Football Guy muses that humans have screwed up the world with our technology and so it will be nice to be outdoors in a place humans haven't screwed up yet, and also one day the Earth will get even with us for screwing it up with pollution and stuff, and there were be a reckoning my friends, a reckoning.

#monsterdon

The dogs don't want to be in this movie.

#monsterdon #thefoodofthegods

that horse did NOT want to ride into the woods

#monsterdon

the equestrian element in canadian football #Monsterdon

Geez even the cameraman is disoriented

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

The horse wants out of the movie. #Monsterdon

Um this looks like poaching, guys #Monsterdon

Are we sure that deer isn't a mule?

#monsterdon

three white guys on horses chasing down prey....

#Monsterdon

No animals were harmed oh wait #Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

the freeze-frame and slow motion approach to lengthening the movie runtime.

#monsterdon

Aww, I do have a weak spot in my heart for those old-school jeeps.

cc: @jalefkowit 🚨 #adorableCarAlert 🚨

#monsterdon

I hate everyone on screen, including the dogs.
#Monsterdon

The dogs are like, "They're COMING, you gotta RUN...."

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

@CactuarJoe lol jinx

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

Come on guys, stop horsing around! #Monsterdon

Well at least he has a nice exposition voice #Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

and now it's time for some beautiful canadian... blood sport? canada does fox hunting?

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

My father used to say "Gortnow, uh, Jortnew, Margort, whatever your fucking name is, hand me that beer."

#monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

@jonny Mooching over here tonight if I post (I'm running late and am already lost).

#Monsterdon

They look so cute together in their little jeep

#Monsterdon

Foreshadowing. I get it. #monsterdon

Ahhh, the deep Canadian woods, where nothing bad or frightening ever happens

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

(Freeze-frame) Freeze-frame
(Freeze-frame) Freeze-frame
(Freeze-frame) Freeze-frame
(Freeze-frame, woo)

#Monsterdon

Please stop freeze framing on the people, no one cares

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

"My name is Morgan. I play football." If I read a story starting like this I would stop reading.

#Monsterdon

Oh good they are bringing the "PR man" I bet he will be useful

#Monsterdon

Omg an autobiographical voice over. This is truly torture. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon on the hero is a footplay player. Like Flash Gordon

The table of contents is a portion. At least they're honest.
#monsterdon

Nice scenery, tho. Shame about the movie. #Monsterdon

phew thank god this narration is here to explain why there is football happening #monsterdon

"My name is Morgan and I play football."

Me: <quietly walks out of theater>

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

Football games already bore me, and you're going to interrupt it even more for this opening crawl?

#Monsterdon

#MONSTERDON

AIP, Arkoff, and Bert I. Gordon mean you're in for some top-notch schlock.

Are they playing on concrete?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Stop action, to beat down the importance... or... because we're padding for time.

It's not REAL football unless there's at lesat frost on the field.

#monsterdon

Just let the movie play, Corky

#Monsterdon

Based on a portion of the HG Wells novel. The parts with American football in, I guess. #monsterdon

Marjoe Montana.

#Monsterdon

What’s this dramatic freeze-frame thing they’re doing whenever a credit appears on screen?

#Monsterdon

What the hell is up with this freezeframing, lol
#monsterdon

"Based on portions of the novel" We used all the places where it said "giant chicken" #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

Next time the kids talk about how hard life is I'm going to show them what the intro credits used to be like in 70's movies

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

#monsterdon if your copy features a Lion roaring at the beginning and you suspect you might have gotten the wrong movie or something, fear not just give it a second or two;

meeker than _thou_ I can tell you that much

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

@Taweret the credits were white but everyone was smoking in the darkroom so they got tinted

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Samuel Z. Arkoff? Why no Samuel A. Arkon?

Ever notice how American International's initials are AI... hmmmmm. #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

Wow, low-key titles. No budget, eh Bert? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

The Samuel Z. Arkoff seal of approval..

ida lupino?????????

#Monsterdon

me, suspicious: is that american international?

#monsterdon

MGM got my hopes up... An American International Fake out. #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

Time for #Monsterdon! I saw this one years ago at B-fest. Good thing too - I can't pay too close attention as I have to work on my resume (blah).

The Food of the Gods (1976) #monsterdon now playing on https://miru.miyaku.media :miyaku:

#Monsterdon begins!

WE GOT I DONE HEARD HE WAS A GIANT CHICKEN SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGN!!!

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

dr. sweatervest reminds me of someone

i don't think him in a different movie just someone else

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

@Terencio from a certain point of view

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

@kshernandez Yeah: Marjoe Gortner sued the studio for not providing the required amenities. He had to go 2 days of shooting without a water cooler in his dressing room, because the special effects team borrowed it.
#monsterdon

I’m not doing the double feature. So I’m still commenting on FOTG. (I know, I know. In #monsterdon time that’s SO one hour ago)

But that film started off with hunters sneaking up on deer by riding horses. And it didn’t get any better from there.

really all these people need is some microoxygen

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

Why would you bring your girlfriend to identify a body? #monsterdon #fotg2 #wrongfood

he's got it? yeah baby he's got it

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

_that_ is a heavily disguised Amiga 3000.

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

Raimi-cam? In THIS giant rat movie?

(It's more likely than you think!)

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

@starkraving666

Can you imagine one laying in your lap or on your legs?

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

Lumon was a smaller building early on

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

"Yeah, just leave all that blood on the floor, it'll be fine, this isn't a biolab or anything."

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

Why don't they just feed it to cats to get rid of the rats

I would snuggle a giant cat in a second #monsterdon #foodofthegods2

can we have sewer gas kill all these guys?

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

Aaannnndddd... the scene just ends and now it's daytime and nothing happens...

#Monsterdon

wait

is this guy actually carrying a _fire_ torch and... a... flamethrower? to hunt rats?

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

New name for school newspaper: The Ovipositor

#monsterdon #fotg2 #wrongfood

Whelp. I stand corrected... Definitely not normal exterminators...

Why does this guy have a gigantic flamethrower???

#Monsterdon

RAT-A-TAK

actually

that's not bad

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

Is this going to be like the Animal Liberation Front, that released a bunch of research animals into the wild, in conditions that just fucking killed them immediately?

#monsterdon #fotg2 #wrongfood

...gonna need a bigger pool?

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

@starkraving666 And just like Supernanny, it's the authority figure's fault, not the kid's.

#monsterdon #fotg2 #wrongfood

Wow. They could've tried harder with the stuffed dog.

#monsterdon #fotg2 #wrongfood

This is a wild episode of Supernanny #monsterdon #foodofthegods2

"The parents are very powerful people, that's why I gave an experimental growth serum to an asshole."

#monsterdon #fotg2 #wrongfood

Rofl, I totally just got this whole vibe from that giant rat attacking him scene:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEuEZehygqM

This definitely has a bigger budget and more quality, yet they still skimped on this part of the effects. He's just running around waving a clearly fake rat.

Maybe it's on purpose? I guess?

#Monsterdon

"In the next decade, 2 of you will die from cancer. I'll see to it."

#monsterdon #fotg2 #wrongfood

ok i'm fading fast so i'm going to get ready for bed but thanks for the double feature @ryan ! #postMonsterdon #monsterdon #WrongFood

This one dude is just like "I would rather watch a kid die than ever test on animals" and then the other is just "kill them all kill them all!!!111!!11oneone"

#Monsterdon
