@allanb @diazona If only VR goggles existed back then #monsterdon

@allanb @diazona Maybe they could invite her to parties and hang out with her, then? That might be very beneficial to her mental state.

#Monsterdon

@ohiofi oooh there's an idea, a movie about a male gorgon who can't seem to live up to his famous ancestors

#Monsterdon

This is very sus love at first sight. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Relatable. I always fall in love with women who burgle my house.

Burial? In my family anyone turned to stone gets put in the garden next to the birdbath #Monsterdon

"I love you! We've been in three scenes together, we MUST be in love!" #Monsterdon

"I ask Namaroff who he's trying to shield. He won't tell me."

He's trying to shield you! It's you! He's trying to shield you!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon _Heitz exhumes a shallow grave, prizes open its cheap pine lid with trembling hands, and gazes with a broken heart full of terror at the petrified face of his father_

*cough*

STONE COLD DAD

Can we bring back capes? I just wanna take my bed with me.

#monsterdon

No, not of Namerov - of Goncharov and his whole Naples operation!

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

I want her cloak.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon The proper word is "Gorgonized"? 🤣
#TheGorgon

@Lazarou God I hope so #monsterdon

Did Paul's hair turn gray after his encounter with the Gorgon?

#Monsterdon

Maybe it’s because I just watched a mini documentary on the more cowbell sketch, but I thought when he said “I must know… about this thing!” it had a very Walkeny inflection. #Monsterdon

@wohali but he was all curled up at his desk when he gorgonized! they musta needed a sledgehammer to straighten him out for the coffin

#monsterdon

now THAT'S a cape

#Monsterdon

Huh, dad turned into a bust of Nikita Kruschev. #Monsterdon

FINALLY! The perfect AirBNB! ⚰️

#monsterdon

Over time will they just turn into pebbles?

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

#Monsterdon is it still graverobbing if what they buried was a rock?

WAIT THAT'S NOT DAD, THAT'S LENIN!

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

You feel you have the right to ask a question? Well you little bitch. #monsterdon

Grave robbing, Harry? Didn't your parents raise you better ... than ... um ... Never mind.

Grave robbing is bad, Harry. Don't do it

#monsterdon

Two inches under is the new six feet under #monsterdon

I'll take set-for-night over day-for-night any time.

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

So much for six feet deep. More like six inches.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

@floatybirb <points wildly to this theory>

#Monsterdon

"is she in danger" no, i just told you to watch her coz i know you're a perv DUDE YES, did you read the script??? #monsterdon

Just digging up a grave in the middle of the night while ominous music plays.

Man, we used to be a country.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

Why is the magistrate's desk bell on Peter Cushing's desk?

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

See, I think this whole film could be solved if Meg would just get a parasol and stroll down the street at midday. I'd cheer. #Monsterdon

Paul Heights has a real Richard Kiel kinda look

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon are you leaving? No, it seems I've acquired a taste for Gorgonization, I must have more!

@faoluin Maybe Magera plays by her own rules #monsterdon

I gotta hand it to the cinematographer on this one. The lighting and the scream were really well done. #monsterdon

He looks ashen and stony-faced, lying in bed. #Monsterdon #TheGorgon

@msh That's what Perseus did with Medusa.

#Monsterdon

YAAAAAAA #monsterdon

Ugh. If a gorgon's reflection could knock someone out for five days and drive them insane, Perseus would have never slain Medusa.

I know this is a B movie, but the filmmakers really didn't do their research here.

#Monsterdon

Late onset groganism

#monsterdon
#TheGorgon

Okay, Fedi, let's be real.

You'd date the snek hair lady, wouldn't ya?

#monsterdon

man literally in tears at the remembrance of this lady's face: i swear i'm alright! #monsterdon

@jonny

I think she's trying to remember a story from Mythology class.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Boy, you are going to have the worst dandruff.

So if you see her in a reflection it's like microdosing Gorgon okaaaay #Monsterdon

#monsterdon "I saw a face, it was the most horrible thing I ever saw!"

Wow. Rude.

@SordidAmok they age it by staring at it. #Monsterdon #CheesyJoke

Anyone else flabbergasted that a guy called “Ratoff” is not a villain? #monsterdon

Who is the main character of this movie? #monsterdon

'Snakes!—why did it have to be snakes!?'

#monsterdon

NoScript is working more consistently on Tubi than the last time I'd tried it. I get a NS popup every time there would be an ad break, but it does just continue on playing the movie.

Turns out the Internet Archive copy is a really low-res scan, it's real vaseline-y. Tubi copy's way better.

Edit: yes, I run uBlock Origin as well. I don't know, it's not a problem, just a small UI bump I'm willing to endure for right now.

#Monsterdon

i don't know who this doctor/butcher coat guy is but i am boycotting this movie until he is rocked #monsterdon

I don’t understand the protagonist urge to explore strange sounds and weather phenomena outside.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

No one brings up the fact that this mythical creature is squatting in someone's property? #Monsterdon

He's looking at that body like, "I'd hit it." #monsterdon

Can @lyresdictionary weighing in on #gorganized in place of #petrified?

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1965 #thegorgon

If all else fails, pass out... #Monsterdon

Pro tip: If you're somewhere where people are getting Gorgonized always carry some sheets of paper and a quill in case you need to dash off a letter #monsterdon

Says here you've got herpes. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👹 🙍 🙎 🗿 🗿 😱

Wait so he fell floppily in the pond but he definitely looked right at her so why isn't he gorgonized?

Will it be explained in time?

I feel like we're going through potential protagonists way too fast. This guy needs some ablative cousins, stat!

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

I remember. The Alamo. #Monsterdon #TheGorgon

Such a cool monster reveal sequence!

#Monsterdon

gorgonification is underway #monsterdon

Ooh cool snakes!

#Monsterdon

@whknott @kcarr2015 We don’t talk about Bruno. #Monsterdon

SPLOOSH

#monsterdon

his ass got gorgonized for sure #monsterdon

Gorgone in 60 Seconds #SpeedUpAMovie

#monsterdon

What does The Gorgon get out of gorgonizing people? #Monsterdon

Nice Edmund Spenser reference! Though the mythological figures in the Faerie Queene were allegorical and didn't really engage in random murders of everyday people.

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou as if on queue #Monsterdon

Why Gorgonize when you can Simoniz!?

#monsterdon

At first I was afraid, I was gorgonized #monsterdon

"The proper word is 'gorgonised', which literally means turned to stone"

no that's "petrified" (petros, rock), "gorgos" is like, "horrible"

#Monsterdon

the rain started and I actually laughed out loud 😃

#monsterdon

i feel pretty in the dark about what's going on in this movie by refusing to cognize any of what the old timey guys are saying but i don't think i'm missing much. there are some broads that turn you into a rock now let's get on with fucking around and turning a bunch more guys into rocks before we figure out how to not turn into a rock #monsterdon

Wow that storm was sudden!

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

I had so much gorgonzola - I'm so... #gorgonized #monsterdon

Not going to lie, I do wish I had that kind of memorization capability.

#Monsterdon

They aren't petrified they are *gorgonized* get it right people geeeez #Monsterdon

GORGONIZED is a trademark of Lumen Industries

somehow

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

Perhaps she's not so fusty after all.

#monsterdon

is she divining this story from beyond time why is she talking like that #monsterdon

Is she standing on a table?

#monsterdon

It's like she's in an elementary school recitation contest. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#TheGorgon
Actually....
"you don't go on working through a heart attack..."
My DH did, for a whole week, while we tried to get medical clinics to see him. He collapsed after 10 days, and had to have a triple by-pass.

So, things were made up by real people for movies back before AI, eh?

@ramsey Bohemian Rhapsody #monsterdon

“On the positive side, my ED Is cured…”

#Monsterdon

The coffee pot & cup is RIGHT THERE ....

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

It seems like rather than maintain a generations-long conspiracy and cover-up about a supernatural murderer, it would be easier to just leave and be German somewhere else. #monsterdon

Gordon shows up:

Nomal people: Ahhhh, run!!!
British guy: this is very irregular

#monsterdon

I'm actually confused about what happened to the brother, Bruno. Was he killed by the Gorgon, by his girlfriend's father, or is he possibly still alive somewhere?

#Monsterdon

I always assumed the turning to stone was instant.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

Please believe me, I'm not a Gorgon #Monsterdon

I’m confused, The Gorgon is not attacking anyone. She’s hiding in an abandoned castle. People have to deliberately go there, some in the middle of the night, to be turned to stone. So what’s the problem? Just don’t go to the castle? #monsterdon
