And yes, this is the level of special effects for the whole movie. I remember laughing at it when I was 7.
We coulda been watching Alligator, but ooooh noooooβ¦
π
Clearly this guy is allergic to giant mosquitoes
Shake the camera hard enough and the monster won't look stupid... no nevermind. #monsterdon
oh wow it's the nightmare i have every time i go backpacking in a real movie except the giant mosquitos don't drain me flat as a pancake #monsterdon
@brooke π΅ black flies, little black flies π΅
First guy to die is wearing a red shirt, what a surprise.
Wow this movie doesn't hang around!
#Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods
Hm. Giant wasps.
No thank you. #Monsterdon
I didn't realize HG Well wrote a story about football players getting eaten by bugs. #Monsterdon
@athena_rising they usually are
I'm late to #Monsterdon, I picked up when the horses started. Did I miss anything important?
@klu9 That interpretation seems valid to me, having heard of both "football" and "canada", which I am told has lots of snow. I would also venture that a normal football game becomes canadian football if there is snow on the ground.
Shoshomaru?! Are you here too?!
ope, nope, absolutely not. absolutely not.
That'll teach that red coated bastard a lesson!
#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods
"I wanna go to the woods and get buzzed!"
LOL took me a few seconds to realize what that special effect was supposed to be
Must be black fly season
I'm guessing that Food of the Gods will turn out to be Soylent Green
Horse: I'm TELLING YOU it's a REALLY BAD IDEA TO GO THAT WAY
Rider: GO THAT WAY DAMMIT
Horse: <throws rider> SEEYA I'M OUTTA HERE
Run horsie run!
Crap, itβs Winnipeg size mosquitoes! Guyβs a goner for sure if it latches in. #monsterdon
The way is clear the light is good we have no fear and no one should, the woods are just trees, the trees are just wood
Is there something in the glade there?
I can tell this movie is going to trigger me. I don't know if I have it in me to hate watch something for 1 hour and 29 minutes.
#Monsterdon
what are those...drones?
The barking can stop now thanks #Monsterdon

Faeries!
#monsterdon
SHAKE THAT RUBBER MOSQUITO
Deathsquitos!
Beedemic!
Red shirt (coat) alert
Ok, I may be COMPLETELY wrong, but I think those are birding dogs #Monsterdon
so uh... buzzed to death?
Run deer! The red coats are coming! #Monsterdon
I hope orange-jacket sadist gets his
#monsterdon
He's wearing the fall's hottest color, Eat Me Red. #monsterdon
MarJOE MarJOE it's off to hunt we go. #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods
The good boys dont want to go in. Never good
#monsterdon
Some people allege it's Canadian football... and that's its' being played on an ice rink.
Coincidence?
"I chased the thing, now I get to kill it as a reward!" - this guy
the guy in red can die....
#monsterdon
He's wearing a fox jacket to a deer hunt? Wut?
Guy in the red coat must really like the taste of baby deer.
Notice how heβs wearing red. That means he's the first to go.
red coat guy going full bambi-killer
@miru "fang"?
I can already see the script:
*scream like you're riding a horse*
#Monsterdon
He looks like Barry Manilow and sounds like REO Speedwagon. Our star tonight!
Okay, these asshole hunters can die anytime. #monsterdon
I suppose shooting in Canada did make it impossible to have a tropical setting.
Oh, great, off to some gratuitous animal cruelty I see.
One deer was injured in the making of this film.
I think the captions just said βMen chirrupingβ #Monsterdon
We shouldn't fuck up the wilderness with our machines, says man who fucks up wilderness in all sorts of other ways, not least of all animal cruelty.
Ok, what the heck??? The credits are over and they're still doing the freeze frames.
Who do I complain to?
Let's go to some place full of nature where no humans have screwed it up and go chase some things and kill em
#monsterdon
Dogs barking with a Canadian accent. Woof, woof, eh? #Monsterdon
Looks like this was filmed somewhere around Vancouver, like all the greatest sci-fi
#monsterdon Need a chevron parquet floor, lots of drapes, a white horse and a giant bucket of cocaine!
We got both kinds of shots. Freeze frame and slow motion. #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods
Chekhov's large animals jumping over barriers?
"ha ha ha" the horseback equivalent of "hup hup hup"
#monsterdon
Points for the horses.
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
If the food of the gods turns out to be a 7/11 hot dog at 2:37am I'm going to bed.
#monsterdon Akton: "My name is moreGoneAnniePlayFooBall"
This thing is already a treasure
Oh, an environmental theme.
Things like this always reminds me of George Carlin's line about how the planet is gonna be fine, but the people are fucked, and it's just gonna shake us off like a bad case of fleas.
Ooh! Foreshadowing!!
I was about to comment, then remembered this movie is from 1976.
I'm going to give it a lot of leeway/
#Monsterdon
Yeah yeah, your dad's an Ecofascist, we've all got our problems kid. #Monsterdon
Is that the Manitoulan ferry? The Monchichi or whatever it's called?
This talk about getting away into nature feels odd when you're on a roro ferry.
@jonny this narration is really reminding me of the recently released "Steamed Hams but it's My Dinner With Andre" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk-Oq8iYtVA

Did the NFL regularly give teams several days off in the middle of the week leading up to a Sunday game?
lol, "my terrifying Father"

Your old man always said that, huh?
π
I thought something was wrong with my network connection but no that's just the movie
what the fuck kind of environmentalist football team is this #monsterdon
Maybe Nature should secede instead....
I've seen him for like 1 second and I already distrust Brian. #Monsterdon
My name is Dino and I play football #Monsterdon
My name is Ishmael... #Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods
Random minor triads in score: check!
"My father used to say, Morgan?" "Get out." "Before that."
You never know when and where it's going to happen and when it starts you never know when it'll stop and when it stops you'll never know when it will start again and then stop.
Can someone adjust the movie's tracking? The video keeps dropping off in the middle of......oh. That's....intentional.
CORKEY!!!!!
#monsterdon Eight. Infinity. Pi. Imaginary! Phi! x to the power of 8i!
Boy, his dad's speech doesn't sound foreboding at all! #Monsterdon
Aw HELL NO! I already had my fill of football this Sunday fer cryin' out loud!
"we saw The Food of the Gods once in a book store, and this is the movie we made while reminiscing about it one weekend."
