"Once the world was big." Okay then! #Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

just mashed play on #monsterdon #WeGotMovieSign

@strangefour "Narrator: It was plastic" #Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

@Louisa I'd pay good money to see that awful puppet crunch on a parachuting Tim Allen in a Santa outfit. #Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

@RufusJCooter The camera never pans down. Maybe they did take them off. We can dream. #Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial She's... Such a glorious cartoon caricature of a molting Canadian goose. #Monsterdon

@trixter Bird? Snake? Bat? When will monster movies ever get taxonomy correct? #Monsterdon

@nebkor HAH! Yeah I always assumed it was more bird like. #Monsterdon

Also, this song is not about THIS kind of Claw, but it IS called The Claw Is The Law, so I'm posting it anyway

#Monsterdon

She's molting everywhere and killing everyone in New York.
And the smoke makes her strings more visible.

@howler0502 Destroy All Birds #monsterdon

@erro
Exactly! I get why everyone in the movie is panicking, but I can’t not like the poor giant who’s kind of just flailing around. #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe #Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

"...I should have been a pair of giant ragged claws, scuttling across the floors of silent seas"

_Now_ I get what T.S. Eliot was going on about!

#Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

One of my favourite parts of #Monsterdon is when the movie ends and you get like 12 posts of people going "Oh, I guess it's over"

@floatybirb Did they show the meson gadget hitting the bird? Cause I missed that #monsterdon

It is a well made muppet. But it's still a stupid looking vulture puyppet.
#Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

This was fun, friends. I'll definitely be joining again! Thanks, @Taweret ! #Monsterdon

@jonny The black and white version probably didn't hurt her as much #monsterdon

@WhiskeySailor Guess so. She was giving the salt shaker such significant glances. Maybe she was just weighing its appeal vs. Mitch. #Monsterdon

#MonsterDon lol weakest ending

#MonsterDon kind of anti climactic

@yatsu Sorry, we need the bones to make broth #monsterdon

@yatsu OMG YES MECHA GIANT CLAW #monsterdon

@Taweret thanks again for hosting! #monsterdon

@paco Bechdel FAIL #monsterdon

And the end credits in German too. Okayyyyy #monsterdon

@WhiskeySailor That's also ho.... nuthin! #Monsterdon

@blogdiva Look, she just wants a multi-polar world, OKAY?! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

@WhiskeySailor #clearlylabeled #monsterdon #thegiantclaw

…just the one giant claw sticking up at the end.

The End

Thanks @Taweret@octodon.social #Monsterdon
Good one!

Did those rockets come out of the ass-end of the plane? Or did I mistake their intentions? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon distractions- the colorized version has the best pink/purple flip-flop color cabriolet that keeps showing up in the ground shots

Annnd she fucks off into the ocean. Crunchy is definitely the adjective for that one. Exceptionally crunchy. Thanks again everyone! Thanks @Taweret! Now if you don't mind I need to see a man about a battleship. #Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

that was so fun thanks friends <3 #monsterdon #thegiantclaw

???????????????????????????????????????? #monsterdon #thegiantclaw

Give them the bird, bird #monsterdon

perfect final shot #monsterdon

"Get me my pants general. Sally get out of here."
Things over heard at an orgy or monster movie dialog, you decide.
#Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

I'd hate to be the guy installing General Considine's cable, with him hanging over my shoulder the whole time #monsterdon

Aaand the general giggles like a little girl at shooting down a giant bird. #Monsterdon

That's... that's it? That ending made a Toho ending look like it had a proper denouement. #Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

fire rockets AT THE ACTUAL BIRD you schmuck! #monsterdon

@moira "We're familiar with it!" #WrongMovie #Monsterdon

#MonsterDon yeah work on the device in the air when you know it's attracted to planes

Ah that french frying drone sound of 50s weapons. #monsterdon

"..it's all yours General"
"Release the kitchen sinks!"

#Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

Of course, they should have just reversed the polarity in the first place! #Monsterdon

It's all yours General. Give it all the stock footage you got. #Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

That's Mile High Club gold ending right there!!

#Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

Invert the polarities? OF COURSE!
#Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

wow wow that movie ended so fast Toho would be proud. #monsterdon

OMG they just stuck footage from Earth vs the Flying Saucers in there!

#Monsterdon

PUPPET STRINGS #monsterdon

But...the explosions cuz why!? #Monsterdon

INTO THE SEA just not under its own power this time. #Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

one giant claw fucks off into the sea #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe yep yep yep I caught that too #monsterdon

hold on that was a quick cut to a building we've all seen many times before #monsterdon

We're all still loving those articulated nostrils, right? #Monsterdon

Oh no, the Diet Building! #Monsterdon

power walk away from the monster! #monsterdon

Man, even the bird has bad lip-synch. #Monsterdon

Everybody run en masse through the streets!! Please ignore previous instructions to remain still!!

#Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

@trixter I feel the same way about Fabio. #Monsterdon

"...make a pass at it"
"Whose the pretty bird?"

#Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

the bird's main nutrient source is diplomacy, it's just very hungry #monsterdon

make a pass at it

look general even dumber exeter has a better shot at it than you do #Monsterdon

You shot up my egg, I'm going to eff up your skyscrapers #monsterdon

attacks buildings, immune to conventional weapons, looks like a muppet designer got high and went to town. yeah, i think he's a kaiju. #monsterdon

wait isn’t that the exact same set of stairs that got destroyed in a shot earlier #monsterdon

I can't deal with its quivering, rubbery lower lip. #Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

"Attacking the United Nations building" Let's give her a couple more minutes. #Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

The bird sneers at you puny humans! *nostril flex*

#Monsterdon

Who de fuq cares about the UN #monsterdon

Oh Jesus those vacuum tubes #Monsterdon

"...dammit, I only brought metric tools, and this is all in standard!"

#Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

Why don't they just import some masers from Japan? #Monsterdon

@ModusMatt Well yeah! That's just science! #MonsterDon

#Monsterdon okay we broke out the turbo encabulator it's all over now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_encabulator

Americas could take lessons from the Japanese on How to Flee From a Giant Monster #monsterdon

Munching on the Empire State! That's some actual Kaiju aspirations right there. #Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

but at least they are destroying a building #monsterdon

King Kong's gonna be pissed. #Monsterdon

antimatter shields can't melt steel beams! #monsterdon

oh dang, that's definitely _not_ toho quality building destruction #monsterdon

Okay, this is some solid building-wrecking. #Monsterdon

And now a second bird will hit the Pentagon. #Monsterdon #TooSoon?

Oh no, had the World Trade Center been built yet, is this about to get awkward #Monsterdon #TheGiantClaw

is the UN building made of explosives??? #monsterdon

@paco #RaisesHand ... nevermind... #Monsterdon

"...what about the calculator to replace Sally"
Sally: "I'm standing right here, you know"
