Harryhausen just fucking stunting on us for like a solid minute 9_9 #Monsterdon

First a wooden golem. The gargoyles looked like rock. Now he commands a six armed iron golem. Koura is the master of all elemental summoning.
#Monsterdon #GoldenVoyageofSinbad

You guys can go, lemmie have a heart to heart with your multiarmed god statue. It's chill. #monsterdon

Harryhausen freaking showing off. That was just amazing.
#monsterdon

Okay, damn, Harry. We get it. You're the shit, you're the OG, we get it. #Monsterdon

That is an actual dance.

#Monsterdon

If I were India I would be launching nuclear weapons at this....

...still though, impressive Harryhausen work

#Monsterdon

Kali Fortnite Dance #Monsterdon

Homer, please do not make my goddess a stop-motion sideshow

⁉️ GOLDEN VOYAGE OF TRIVIA ⛵🌊

Ray Harryhausen made tonight's feature a tribute to one of his inspirations, The Thief of Bagdad (1940).

One similarity: Kali's dance copies many of the moves of the six-armed 'robot' in the earlier film.

I'm claiming a bingo!

Look at all this greenface. Disgusting. #monsterdon

@Taweret Naahhh
#monsterdon

Maybe they have frozen vegetables, or Marvel comics

#Monsterdon

What a... suspenseful scene

😏

#Monsterdon

After telling Sinbad and friends to "go north" in as many words as possible, the oracle disappears, but outside Koura is using his magic exploding acid to trap the main characters in the cave temple. For some reason destroying the door also blows up the temple on top of it, because it was a very load bearing door.

RIP cool cave temple building things, RIP.

#monsterdon

Y'know, Lost Osmond doesn't seem any more useless than the rest of this crew

#monsterdon #GoldenVoyage1974

Not gonna lie, "Tie up your camel" is a pretty good euphemism for "put your dick away"

#Monsterdon⁩ ⁨#GoldenVoyage1973

Your turbans and sashes! Everyone.
And… er… plunging-neckline halter tops, everyone wearing one of those.

#monsterdon

We should have gone to the Oracle at Delphi. #Monsterdon

Some call me.... Tim.

#monsterdon

I think they should at least throw a tip in the well
#monsterdon
#goldenvoyage1974

"hello i am the oracle, i have tiny hands. i know everything but must first spaz out and turn into a grumpy fireball hologram to explain things. thank you for your consideration."

#monsterdon

Actually, since they’ve been playing pretty fast and loose with cultures, I guess it DOES make sense that the lovechild of Kali and Ymir is pulling a Wizard of Oz.
#Monsterdon

Lemme guess. Destiny is the friends you made along the way, right?

#monsterdon

*starts ranting like a drunk god nobody believes in anymore

#Monsterdon

This whole fire theme resonates through the movie as much as the gold one does.
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad #Monsterdon

Mmmmm black milk.

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

Take two tablets and call me in the morning

#Monsterdon

The Cave Guardian has a very specialized job

#monsterdon

The oracle of all knowledge....doesn't know how to get their earring after it went down the drain.

#monsterdon #thegoldenvoyageofsinbad

Sinbad, you should react, you're in the shot.
#Monsterdon

Also, Tom Baker makes a tremendous baddie. It’s too bad he didn’t get to play more of these sorts of roles after his stint on the”Doctor Who.”

#monsterdon #goldenvoyage1973 #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

I'm sorry cave tours are closed
#monsterdon

Who did the foley on this? Loudest footsteps in movie making history. #monsterdon

Not enough whimsical xylophone on the imp's reveal

#Monsterdon

"My heart is full of courage! But I have very cowardly legs."

And ankles of indifference, and toes full of ambivilence. The elbows are full of pastrami, just in case. #Monsterdon

Big "Apocalypse Now" vibes with this temple...

#Monsterdon

Anyway, we made it to Lemuria, which is a very pointy matte painting island with some Indian-looking sculptures and beehive-shaped structures on it.

Sinbad's ship now has an auxiliary rowboat so he doesn't have to just swim to shore. Sinbad caries the (former) slave girl onto shore anyway, so that he doesn't skip arm or leg day.

#monsterdon

@apLundell #monsterdon

if he'da waved twice, every man gets "the hard stuff"

Another weird zoom

#monsterdon #thegoldenvoyageofsinbad1973

Steady, men. I'm familiar with this place. My Dad and his friends ride ATVs here

#Monsterdon

sure yeah we don’t need any help pulling the boat ashore #monsterdon

And I see we’ve added a completely different part of the globe to our mash-up of “generic East I don’t care just be Oriental ok?” settings

#Monsterdon

"This is my vat of sun tea, made in the darkness, for sorcery. I will use it, and my own blood to bring my bat minion back to life."

"but master that will make you old, think of your health!"

"no i want a bat friend."

#monsterdon

They blew a lot of money on the humunculus stop-motion animation and they wanted to use every bit of it.

#monsterdon

Keep paddling toward the matte painting.
#monsterdon

"It is our friend."
"What does it eat?"
#monsterdon

"I just can't give up the homunculi Achmed, no matter the physical toll....I just keep jacking up!"

#Monsterdon

I invoke the spirit of the eternal harryhausen. #monsterdon

Achmed is kind of a decent sort and actually cares about Koura.
#monsterdon

Sinbad's crew is making me want to watch the Eye of the Tiger video

#Monsterdon

Koura you need to start using smaller wine glasses. We're worried about you.
#monsterdon

He had to use his sword to chop the arm like that? I don't even think that’s the right kind of sword for that.

#Monsterdon

@arrjay this particular wood never took swimming lessons, unfortunately

#Monsterdon

Mann I need to actually remember to figure out the #Monsterdon movie before it's time. One of these weeks…

And the map is okay after that dunking?

#Monsterdon #GoldenVotageOfSinabd

Master! You've got... splinters on your face!

#monsterdon

@Binder banana.

#Monsterdon

All that psychic energy makes you sweat
#monsterdon

@apLundell happens every Sunday.

#Monsterdon

I like when dark magic carries a physical price on the user

#Monsterdon

Fun with bouyancy

#Monsterdon #GoldenVotageOfSinabd

#monsterdon Where we're going, we don't need charts. We have the fancy new LORAN-C to guide us... **kerblam** well, shat. ;)

Is he... getting off on being a big wooden lady? #Monsterdon #Sinbad1973 #GoldenVoyage1973

setting a giant statue on fire on the deck of your ship seems poorly considered

#monsterdon

Sinbad shoulda told the figurehead it was free, then asked it for a glass of water.

#monsterdon

CREEEEEAK

#Monsterdon

When we saw Mr Harryhausen in person he reminisced that a ship from this culture really wouldn't have had a human shaped figurehead.

#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad #Monsterdon

Figurehead's like: "YOU'RE the one who fondled me last night!"

#monsterdon

Concrete statue nipples. Drink. #monsterdon

I find the figurehead’s acting to be a little wooden.

#Monsterdon

Okay if he can bring the figurehead to life can't he just make a hole in the boat?

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

I do like that this movie had an unlimited sequins budget

#Monsterdon

Gonna tell my kids that this was Sinbad.

#Monsterdon

Ah so Sinbad steers by braille.
#monsterdon

I'm about ready for some claymation creatures to show up

#monsterdon

She doesn't have many lines, but she's hot - very 70s
#monsterdon

@klu9 lol....but also, ewww

#Monsterdon

"Sinbad has bottomed more pirates than I can count" #Monsterdon #GoldenVoyage1974

oh wait the hot son was Hashish-ing and not Drinking. I guess that maybe makes more sense for an Islamic society.

#monsterdon

You are no-one's beckon call
Now get me a beer
#monsterdon

Fetch me a drink not-a-slave

#monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

Why is this lady so eager to stab? Sinbad's the only guy who ever showed interest in her hand tattoo.

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

I hope lil' gargoyle was just teleported and not turned into leaves... #monsterdon

@holly Boat of Leaves

#Monsterdon

This is what every rich bastard should have been doing with their wastrel failsons the whole time. #Monsterdon #Sinbad1973 #GoldenVoyage1973

Is that a young Erik Estrada?

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

hello comedy relief. #monsterdon

Haroun is already my favourite character.

#monsterdon

Follow him warmly, sensually, gently yet firmly...

#monsterdon

Stop asking Gemini for directions

#Monsterdon

@SRLevine It's the six or 7 C's of Sinbad

#monsterdon

"welcome to my house. have some tea. also, you may have my hot slave girl and also my hot son."

#monsterdon

She *IS* curvaceous. Thanks for pointing it out. I hadn’t nice-tits-ed… I mean… hadn’t NOTICED

#monsterdon #thegoldenvoyageofsinbad1973

Every voyage has its own flavour.

And?

And??

That's all you're going to say?

#monsterdon

"Every voyage has its own flavour. This one is going to be tutti-fruitti"

#monsterdon

Ha. I see you, old dumbass. "Suuuuuure, take the good thing! Also take the bad thing! Also take some cash! Do not ask how bad the bad thing is; TWO GOOD THINGS! As-salamu alaykum!"

#Monsterdon #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

...is a cottonseed the same as a pearl at night? I need more context.

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

BRING THEM INTO MY SHIP - CLEANED AND COVERED IN OIL

#monsterdon #GoldenVoyage1974
