This whole fire theme resonates through the movie as much as the gold one does.
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad #Monsterdon
Mmmmm black milk.
Take two tablets and call me in the morning
The Cave Guardian has a very specialized job
The oracle of all knowledge....doesn't know how to get their earring after it went down the drain.
Sinbad, you should react, you're in the shot.
#Monsterdon
Also, Tom Baker makes a tremendous baddie. Itβs too bad he didnβt get to play more of these sorts of roles after his stint on theβDoctor Who.β
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
"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...
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.
if he'da waved twice, every man gets "the hard stuff"
Tom "Achmed" Selleck
The guy who brings the treasure chest to the island is always evil
Another weird zoom
Steady, men. I'm familiar with this place. My Dad and his friends ride ATVs here
This whole thing is going to be peppered with fake aphorisms but some of them have made smile a bit #Monsterdon
sure yeah we donβt need any help pulling the boat ashore #monsterdon
And I see weβve added a completely different part of the globe to our mash-up of βgeneric East I donβt care just be Oriental ok?β settings
"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."
They blew a lot of money on the humunculus stop-motion animation and they wanted to use every bit of it.
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!"
This is how Harryhausen effects actually work
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
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 thatβs the right kind of sword for that.
@arrjay this particular wood never took swimming lessons, unfortunately
Mann I need to actually remember to figure out the #Monsterdon movie before it's time. One of these weeksβ¦
And the map is okay after that dunking?
Master! You've got... splinters on your face!
@Binder banana.
All that psychic energy makes you sweat
#monsterdon
@apLundell happens every Sunday.
I like when dark magic carries a physical price on the user
Fun with bouyancy
I don't mean to criticize the writing, but what was the point of all that?
#monsterdon
#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
Sinbad shoulda told the figurehead it was free, then asked it for a glass of water.
CREEEEEAK
When we saw Mr Harryhausen in person he reminisced that a ship from this culture really wouldn't have had a human shaped figurehead.
Figurehead's like: "YOU'RE the one who fondled me last night!"
Concrete statue nipples. Drink. #monsterdon
I find the figureheadβs acting to be a little wooden.
Another dramatic masthead. But not Hera this time. #Monsterdon
Okay if he can bring the figurehead to life can't he just make a hole in the boat?
I do like that this movie had an unlimited sequins budget
Gonna tell my kids that this was Sinbad.
Ah so Sinbad steers by braille.
#monsterdon
I'm about ready for some claymation creatures to show up
She doesn't have many lines, but she's hot - very 70s
#monsterdon
@klu9 lol....but also, ewww
"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.
You are no-one's beckon call
Now get me a beer
#monsterdon
Fetch me a drink not-a-slave
I wish I belonged to myself, but in practice I just rent. #monsterdon
Why is this lady so eager to stab? Sinbad's the only guy who ever showed interest in her hand tattoo.
I hope lil' gargoyle was just teleported and not turned into leaves... #monsterdon
@holly Boat of Leaves
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?
hello comedy relief. #monsterdon
Haroun is already my favourite character.
Follow him warmly, sensually, gently yet firmly...
Stop asking Gemini for directions
@SRLevine It's the six or 7 C's of Sinbad
"welcome to my house. have some tea. also, you may have my hot slave girl and also my hot son."
She *IS* curvaceous. Thanks for pointing it out. I hadnβt nice-tits-edβ¦ I meanβ¦ hadnβt NOTICED
"Every voyage has its own flavour. This one is going to be tutti-fruitti"
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!"
...is a cottonseed the same as a pearl at night? I need more context.
BRING THEM INTO MY SHIP - CLEANED AND COVERED IN OIL
$400 and a free girl, just please get my kid out of the house!
#Monsterdon
You've had an eyeball painted on your palm since you were a child. Sure. Seems legit.
#monsterdon
Catherine Munro ladies and gentlemen
Sinbad's about to test his "two melons with one hand" theory am I right fellas?
Back on the ship we have brought a single, non-translucent dancing girl to entertain the sailors and have an extra dancing girl in this movie. Then the first mate gets a letter and tells her to leave.
Meanwhile, in the secret basement, Sinbad is planning his quest from the wall map. Sumerian King Guy finds the spy bat and hits it with a gold brick. It squeaks a bit then explodes into burnt paper when Sinbad gets it.
See, this is why I thought fighting bad guys was easy. Just a quick kick and the tent disables them.
#Monsterdon
Did I download a porno by accident
I wonder what any of the kaiju are up to
No I'm sorry. I don't carry cash. I don't have a light. Leave me alone. #Monsterdon
@JoeWynne ??? are pregnant women especially afraid of snakes? #monsterdon
Only women are allowed in Gerudo Town
CUE THE COMIC RELIEF OBOE
#monsterdon
Not exactly inconspicuous with that trinket there, Sinbad. #monsterdon
"Find me a ship, and a captain who can be trusted."
'What about Sinbad? He has a ship! And he seems trustworthy!"
"You... are fired."
Can a homunculus be dragon shaped?
These are the important sort of philosophical questions posed tonight.
Ain't no party like a hookah party #Monsterdon
