and yes I know the next scene resolved this but it was still funny

#Monsterdon

"A missing child is always trouble“

ALWAYS? What if it's a really annoying child

#monsterdon #thewickerman1973

ACAB
#monsterdon

Small town vibes all over the place here. They're gonna be gnawing his bones by sundown. #Monsterdon

As someone born in the cornfields of the midwest US, this corn song speaks to me #monsterdon

"will you send a dinghy please"

cuts to horse

...are we clear on the definition of "dinghy"

#Monsterdon

a dinghy with beautiful eyes #monsterdon

WILL YOU

SEND THE DINGHY

PLEASE

#monsterdon

It’s like they just discovered music in 1973. #Monsterdon

the dingy SEES you. #monsterdon

I coulda told ya people don't just give you dinghies if you ask for one, bud. #Monsterdon

[taco looks at the camera like he's on the office because he used to run av for his church]

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

"You can't land here without written permission" is extremely British vibes. #monsterdon

Clearly I need to figure out wtf "rigs" are in this context. #monsterdon #wickerman73

that sure is a face

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

That plane puts the boat in flying boat.

#monsterdon

i would also like a dingy, please. #monsterdon

...Did he just overfly the mansion from The Beast Must Die? #Monsterdon

"I would like a dingy please."
Is this sex tourism?
#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

worth the wait, i got a copy of the 4k final cut from the original negative, thank you studiocanal

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

#Monsterdon Wow. The radar gun on that plane is huge!

I happened to notice when firing the movie up in Plex that it reports 91% on Rotten Tomatoes.

This just feels wrong

#Monsterdon

This font is straight out of the sign of a Western Massachusetts strip mall herbalism shop #Monsterdon

"He leadeth me" is such a great way to start to this movie

#TheWickerMan #monsterdon

Best. Soundtrack. Ever! #Monsterdon

no 'Butcher's Apron' flag, just some snazzy pagan thing

#monsterdon

didn't know there were palm trees around Scotland #monsterdon

I swear, credits music might be diegetic.

#monsterdon

the music is so fuckin good in this goddamn movie

#monsterdon

There can be only one (engine) #Monsterdon

Version check-in: my version is starting in a church with Edward Woodward giving a reading. I can tell it’s Anglican because it’s like a Catholic mass but slightly off. #monsterdon

@moira ooh just noticed mine is only 86 minutes

If past #Monsterdon is any indication, the whole resolution of the movie could be in that missing 7 minutes

...or not

It's always nice when you know in advance you're in a horror flick so you can bring backup. Not that it matters all that much, I guess; Cop Guy would undoubtedly split the party.

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

@SRLevine right ya, transcoding didn't finish in time unfortunately. file is bigger than the usual rips and my server is tiny so it is taking an ~hour where it usually takes ~10m. you can download the torrent still from there if you can't find another streaming copy
#monsterdon

@brooke Maybe if you join the constabulary they'll let you use theirs #monsterdon

I hadn't realized how many 1970s A/A- listers were in this.
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Props to this prop plane as the starting credits roll over gorgeous scenery.

I love Scots folk music, too, so loving this opening.

a dinghy for ur thoughts
#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan1973

Shoot straight you bastards! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #CoffeeWatch is on alert!

Get a haircut!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan1973 :neodog_mask_bread:

Already great music! #Monsterdon

Was that bagpipe music almost techno for a bit? Or is the recording just so grainy it sounds metallic?
#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

A++ scenery so far

#Monsterdon

Here for one of my favorites on #Monsterdon
#thewickerman

Lol, good old Magnet on the 1s and 2s. #monsterdon #wickerman73

without a penny in ma parse #monsterdon

You know what I love? When a classic movie is repackaged and gets a new, bass-pumped, obnoxious production kicker at the beginning (probably only applicable to the blu-ray version). #monsterdon

Watching the chaos that is federated posting with simultaneous viewing is half the fun #Monsterdon

Hey Chris, always nice to see you :D #Monsterdon

I've got an 88 minute cut turns out, not 93, so who knows what's up lol

#TheWickerMan #Monsterdon

During the opening scenes we can see palm trees.

Scotland has palm trees thanks partially to the global thermohaline circulation bringing warm tropical waters north before it sinks forming the current.
#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan1973 #AMOC

Christopher Lee! okay, i was in before, but now i am IN. #monsterdon

Welcome to beautiful Britt Elk Land. And our lovely lakes.
#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

@chirpbirb It's never really too late for #Monsterdon!

I will be watching the Final Cut for #monsterdon

this version skipped the singing in church part but that's okay. #monsterdon

any movie that thanks the people on the coast of Scotland for their religious practices is going to be Awesome, that's what i think. #monsterdon

Oh, Scotland. So this is like Gorgo, right? :P #Monsterdon

@Taweret

so, no different

#monsterdon

Ooh a restoration notice on the final cut, how fancy

#Monsterdon

I have roused myself from a quality nap for #monsterdon!

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan1973 yuzu

Only now to I realize roast pork was the meal I should have had tonight. #monsterdon #TheWickerMan

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

Lucky enough again to be able to rent this week’s #monsterdon on blu-ray, and surprised it starts with some trailers for different old movies of different eras. Four of them.

Anyway, on to the film!

It's Sunday and that means #Monsterdon timeeee!

Today we'll be watching The Wicker Man!

This time I have been told that Tusky (a mobile app for Mastodon) allows you to preprogram your messages. I will be using that this time to sort of mimic being able to comment live with you guys. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow me to make threads so I'll be posting stuff on separate toots
