So did they straighten Marjoe's hair for this or was it a perm in Starcrash. I'm thinking perm. #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods
honestly that's some good fucked up face makeup. actual quality.
assuming they just didn't give the actor anafalectic shock
Guess he was allergic to hunting! Let that be a lesson to you.
He died of that blueberry gum from willy wonka. #monsterdon
Apparently, Bert Gordonβs special effects are holding the camera really close out of focus and shaking a lot. #monsterdon
I'm not staying with the Muppet face corpse

Jesus, I knew you were ugly but...
#monsterdon
Just normal Manitoba Mosquitoes nothing to see here move along #Monsterdon
My god, he looks like Scotty. #Monsterdon
Ahh, the Minnesota State bird! And almost normal size!
Marjoe's seen enough drug overdoses to know what this is....
Arenβt those just normal-sized mosquitos in Minnesota?? #Monsterdon
So... Am I the only one who, if a giant wasp/mosquito/whatever the heck that was came flying very very slowly at me I might, you know, move or something?
That's a pretty average sized skeeter for North Carolina. #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods
Hm. Giant wasps.
No thank you. #Monsterdon
Those Canadian mosquitos are to scale.
I take it back! I take it back. This movie has me hooked.
#Monsterdon #TeamMonster
Some good early karma! #Monsterdon
Just cut their strings and they won't be able to fly any more. #Monsterdon
jeezus, Canadian mosquitos are big
@ricci It's helpful so they can more easily find his body when they see it under a bush or something.
Vincent Price voice: "Yessss....The TINGLER."
#Monsterdon yeah those skeeters in canada are no joke
Shoe fly, as in these flies are wearing shoes!
Must be black fly season
#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
Run deer! The red coats are coming! #Monsterdon
#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.
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.
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
Some people allege it's Canadian football... and that's its' being played on an ice rink.
Coincidence?
The dogs don't want to be in this movie.
that horse did NOT want to ride into the woods
the equestrian element in canadian football #Monsterdon
Geez even the cameraman is disoriented
The horse wants out of the movie. #Monsterdon
Um this looks like poaching, guys #Monsterdon
Okay, these asshole hunters can die anytime. #monsterdon
Are we sure that deer isn't a mule?
three white guys on horses chasing down prey....
No animals were harmed oh wait #Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods
the freeze-frame and slow motion approach to lengthening the movie runtime.
Aww, I do have a weak spot in my heart for those old-school jeeps.
cc: @jalefkowit π¨ #adorableCarAlert π¨
I hate everyone on screen, including the dogs.
#Monsterdon
The dogs are like, "They're COMING, you gotta RUN...."
@CactuarJoe lol jinx
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?
My feed seems to indicate that that was canadian rules football, not american.
I don't wish to be a sportsist but they all look the same to me. #monsterdon
My father used to say "Gortnow, uh, Jortnew, Margort, whatever your fucking name is, hand me that beer."
@jonny Mooching over here tonight if I post (I'm running late and am already lost).
They look so cute together in their little jeep
Yeah yeah, your dad's an Ecofascist, we've all got our problems kid. #Monsterdon
Foreshadowing. I get it. #monsterdon
Ahhh, the deep Canadian woods, where nothing bad or frightening ever happens
(Freeze-frame) Freeze-frame
(Freeze-frame) Freeze-frame
(Freeze-frame) Freeze-frame
(Freeze-frame, woo)
Please stop freeze framing on the people, no one cares
#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods
I've seen him for like 1 second and I already distrust Brian. #Monsterdon
"My name is Morgan. I play football." If I read a story starting like this I would stop reading.
Oh good they are bringing the "PR man" I bet he will be useful
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>
Football games already bore me, and you're going to interrupt it even more for this opening crawl?
AIP, Arkoff, and Bert I. Gordon mean you're in for some top-notch schlock.
Are they playing on concrete?
#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.
Just let the movie play, Corky
Based on a portion of the HG Wells novel. The parts with American football in, I guess. #monsterdon
Marjoe Montana.
Whatβs this dramatic freeze-frame thing theyβre doing whenever a credit appears on screen?
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 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
@Taweret the credits were white but everyone was smoking in the darkroom so they got tinted
#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
The Samuel Z. Arkoff seal of approval..
ida lupino?????????
me, suspicious: is that american international?
MGM got my hopes up... An American International Fake out. #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods
Representing Lemmy, Mastodon's fediverse sibling, for #monsterdon !
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!!!
dr. sweatervest reminds me of someone
i don't think him in a different movie just someone else
@Terencio from a certain point of view
@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
Iβm not doing the double feature. So Iβm still commenting on FOTG. (I know, I know. In #monsterdon time thatβs SO one hour ago)
But that film started off with hunters sneaking up on deer by riding horses. And it didnβt get any better from there.
