So that whole soliloquy was just about going north? #monsterdon

"Sorry, I'm the Oracle of FUCK OFF"

@jonny #monsterdon

A scene of you making comments on B-movies, no doubt.

Yeah but you didn't specify which Sinbad so it's your own fault if you get some peak 90s observational comedy headed your way.

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

What do you mean, I will find Sinbad?! What does he look like? Where is he?

#monsterdon #thegoldenvoyageofsinbad1973

All that done before computers too, the kids wouldn't believe it! 👏

#Monsterdon

Wow they really fixed the composition problem of earlier movies. #monsterdon

@SnoopJ I think it's usually dressed up as being blood-scienc instead of explicitly magical

#Monsterdon #GoldenVotageOfSinabd

We learn the figurehead animation plot was a ruse to um... get the chart map, which the figurehead delivers but also got it wet. It would be a shame if it was paper and ruined by all the ocean.

#monsterdon

"Uh, Koura, funny story -- the ink on the chart wasn't waterfast..."

Apologies to the audience I have misunderstood the hot son's situation.

I thought he was bored, but really he was just very drunk and hungover and has now found himself on a ship doing an epic quest.

This is why I only drink in moderation.

#monsterdon

@arrjay

🎵 sail away, sail away, sail away 🎵

#Monsterdon

Ugh, 'slave/master romance'

Writers obvious fetish time...

#Monsterdon

The guy playing Haroun is credited as "Kurt Christian" born in Hong Kong in 1950.

His birth name is suitable - Baron Kurt Christian von Siegenberg

Well.

#monsterdon

You aren't a slave but fetch me a drink, woman! #monsterdon

I'm not familiar with the source material, but I'm guessing since we're looking for the island of Lemuria, which I think was made up in the 19th century, to explain why Lemurs were on Madagascar and also not-Madagascar, that we're probably not really sticking too close to the source material and just doing our own thing

#monsterdon

Sorry Sinbad all this casual racism is cutting right through my hashish

#Monsterdon

@diazona Definitely what I'm thinking every Sunday night at this time. 😃

#monsterdon

Something tells me a ship full of sailors isn't the worst punishment for this lad....

#Monsterdon

This must be the son he was trying to get rid of. #monsterdon

Regarding the proverb given in this movie: "Trust in Allah, but tie up your camel", it seems to be a translation of a real hadith

Damn stop motion spies. You put out traps but they're too smart to eat from them. #monsterdon

enjoying the map that centres the Indian Ocean, must have been quite progressive for the 70s, that and admitting there are OTHER religions on Earth as well.../s

Did the kid take Shaq to a concert to try and get him laid??
#Monsterdon #Kazaam

@paco OMG I DID HEAR IT RIGHT WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS MOVIE ??
#Monsterdon #Kazaam

Buddha got back

#monsterdon #Sinbad1973

Can this kid find the Wishmaster instead of Shaq? I want to see his wishes turned into an ironic death.
#Monsterdon #Kazaam

Kazaam... Okay I guess I'm gonna hal watch this now. After I clean up a dish and get more juice. Or maybe alcohol. This movie might require alcohol
#Monsterdon #Kazaam

That was a legitimately enjoyable film, made all the better by watching it with all of you, fellow denizens of #Monsterdon.

Thank you for hosting, @Taweret, as always. Have a great week everyone!

Once more, thanks @Taweret for hosting, and to all the #Monsterdon -ians for making it 10x more amusing with your commentary!

Well praise be to Harryhausen and @Taweret we survived another one

#monsterdon #GoldenVoyageOfSinbad

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

🦖Exciting movie and hysterical Real-Time Film Analysis! Thank you everyone. Apologies to the many I was not able to acknowledge during intense scrolls. So much good stuff!

❤️ And thank you @Taweret for hosting this freaky fantasy! Your efforts are appreciated! Still getting used to 'Void Chicken'

🅱️ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite: "Monsterdon praises Harryhausen". Yes!

We decide to resolve whatever is going on with a climatic sword fight, and then Koura decides to cheat by using his cloaking device. but then he does the rookie move of walking into water while he's invisible, so Sinbad can see him and stab him, but that fills the fountain with wizard blood.

Also only Sinbad bothered to fight Koura... the other characters were just standing around to disappoint the audience.

#monsterdon

Kind of disappointing face, to be honest. I guess they couldn't afford Omar Sharif. #Monsterdon

"Hey how come MY reflection doesn't have a cool hat?"

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

"you see if you drop the golden thing in the fountain of youth, it will glow yellow if evil and purple if good. it's just quantum chromodynamics."

#monsterdon

the fountain of piss turns briefly to a fountain of blood, before reflecting an absolutely dripped-out version of Sinbad

#Monsterdon

correction: we get an explanation it just doesn't make sense. the centaur is evil and the gryphon is good and this is all a prophecy that the audience didn't pay attention too.

Anyway the centaur wins and then Sinbad jumps on top of it and starts stabbing it.

#monsterdon

that's a loooooot of blood

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

😄 this is a competent use of chroma-keying; I can give credit where due

#Monsterdon #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

"It just arrived! I've got him now...." #monsterdon

I bet Tom Baker is actually trained in swords

#Monsterdon

is that a stop motion sinbad as well? damn, sir. i must doff my hat.

#monsterdon

After being young again, Koura decides he's sick of Sinbad existing and summons the Cyclops-Centaur to whack him with a baseball bat while the One Girl Watches, unable to do stuff for unclear reasons.

Then we decide to have a bonus monster and a Fuzzy Gryphon comes through the second gate to challenge the Centaur because of some ancient enmity or something. This is not explained.

#monsterdon

if I was the mask guy I would run over to the magic fountain and heal my face while all this was going on

#monsterdon

boo hiss!

#Monsterdon

MOOOOOOM THEY’RE FIGHTING AT YOSEMITEHENGE AGAIN
#Monsterdon

Motaro DIDN'T use a Duraclub™

Now look at him

#Monsterdon

I too enjoy chanting at a good stonehenge fountain.

#monsterdon

The centaur is like "Uh, shit, Sinbad, you wanna go halfsies on this monster? A little truce? Trucey-truce?"

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

#monsterdon Okay, so now we have a real man/horse walk onto the scene.

The Cyclops Minotaur has a quality head of hair.

#monsterdon

MONOTAUR!

#Monsterdon

Always has to be the centaur of attention that one.

#Monsterdon

After tripping on things, Koura finds "The Fountain of Destiny" which is a geyser surrounded by a stonehenge in a cave. Which I guess is a nice water feature.

All the sorcery has made him weak, so he has to crawl toward the fountain and awkwardly push his flat golden things into it.

#monsterdon

Meanwhite at cyclops henge…

#monsterdon

Maybe don't sneak up on the nervous new guy while he's got a sword.

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

Why is it that extreme aging through evil summoning has given Tom Baker my grey beard? I mean, sure, I’m in corporate middle-management and have had to summon a few demons and accountants, but….

#monsterdon #goldenvoyage1973 #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

That Sinbad, he's a class act.

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

So the centaur? Had to take smoke break? I think I missed something, that or the writers did. #monsterdon

@SnoopJ i feel like Harryhausen plays a subtle trick where he makes the animation smoother as the movie progresses #monsterdon

Wow you made me expose my burned face as a distraction? I thought we were friends.
