"Hi folks, I'm Clayton Rockjaw, I'll be your protagonist tonight." #Monsterdon

The scientist looks like he’s about to settle down for a long winter’s nap. #Monsterdon

Giant Baked Alaskas of the 20th Century #monsterdon

Man, I'd be *pissed* if I was woken from a nap by some assholes with flamethrowers torching my tooties!

#monsterdon

@moira No expense spared.

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

6 mins in already peepin some yeti toes 👀 #monsterdon

Aha, our first look at Antonella Interlenghi! Love the hair.

#monsterdon

Don't burn the feet!

#Yeti: Giant of the 20th Century

Jurassic Park ripped off this beginning. #Monsterdon

He died, yeti lived

#Monsterdon

I don’t usually do dubs, trying to match cadence of words can make for some slightly awkward sounding dialogue. (And feels quite off when watching mouths. I literally thought the setting of the Portuguese Netflix series “3%” featured telepathic communication supported by occasional spoken word. It was dubbed into English without my recognition.)

Edit: Let me not write the opposite word of what I meant. 😅)

#Monsterdon #YetiGiantOfTheTwentiethCentury1977 #SubsNotDubs

We have piggies!!! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon why the flamethrowers. How about just waiting for it to naturally defrost? Talk about freezer burn. Yikes

Guys, #monsterdon is really familiarizing me with flamethrowers as a casual tool.

I wonder what shampoo and conditioner that girl uses, such a shiny coat

#monsterdon

I've never seen a jacket made entirely of American Cheese before

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

"...this thing is priceless"
"Then, maybe we shouldn't be using flame throwers?"

#Monsterdon #YetiGiantOfThe20thCentury

jurassic park voice: shoot it! shoooot itttt!
#monsterdon

In my days "permanent vacation" meant DEATH. #monsterdon

Are we meant to think that this dude is hanging from that helicopter? The one that was making all that noise just a minute ago? The one that's not even blowing his hair? And this guy can smell the soup with the helicopter blowing like that?
#monsterdon

"I'm on a permanent vacation!"

Womp Womp

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

I already love this
#Monsterdon

The wardrobe dept. has outdone itself on this one. #monsterdon

Epic Carmina-based soundtrack leads directly into "Hi Henry I'm here!" in awkward overdubbed faux-Southern(?) accent

Seems about right

#Monsterdon

Flamethrowers are the most subtle way to thaw an Ice-Man

#monsterdon

gotta hand it to this bourgeois parasite, that was a pretty boss entrance #monsterdon

I think the cooking instructional thing in the Star Wars Christmas Special was better.

#Monsterdon

he's definitely being lowered by a real helicopter they could definitely afford and not a crane at all

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

I movies where the Capitalist is the Baddie

Damn you Morgan, breakfast thief!

They are old lovers, that passion isn't a casual friendship from Uni....

#monsterdon

Soundtrack writing a check that no way this movie is cashing. #Monsterdon

"HI THERE HENRY!"

Hey what the fuck is happening

#Monsterdon

I want a chopper couch #monsterdon

Imagine you're cooking outside and THIS joker shows up behind you to heckle you. Dang.

#monsterdon

the dude on the air seat wasn't actually a part of the film, he just photobombed the set. #monsterdon

I feel like this move is a pretty good ice-breaker for new #Monsterdon people

I want it on record that I voted for this movie before most of you were born. #monsterdon

This is the most Italian Canadian movie.
#Monsterdon #Yeti

#Monsterdon yay! Niagara Falls! About an hour out of Toronto but yay!

Not gonna lie, kinda tempted to silence the movie & listen to Carmina Burana instead #Monsterdon

There is a helicopter at the start, is this going to be like a James Bond film where they blow most of the budget in the first couple of minutes?

#Monsterdon

Looks like a strong Italian contingent involved

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon just take some stock photography from the CN tower whydontcha.

ngl this opening track is pretty dope.

#Monsterdon

It’s pretty icy there. Gonna miss those ice caps later in the 21st century.

#Monsterdon #YetiGiantOfTheTwentiethCentury1977

Hunnicut Enterprises? Wow, BJ's doing okay for himself. Better than Radar anyway. #Monsterdon

carmina yeti burana

#Monsterdon #Yeti1977

Oh my gosh, the composer is ripping off Carmina Burana!!! #Monsterdon

ok confession: i have seen this before, but i still voted and campaigned for it. i'm sorry

#monsterdon

more like

O FURtuna

because yeti's are hairy #monsterdon

lol, tbf, that's how I want to travel!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon we have Italian names! I repeat! Italian names! So many vowels!

Is this song "O Fortuna"? #monsterdon

If you think an Italian-Canadian co-production is going to make a tasty combo, like a Reese's Peanut Butter cup. Boy, are you going to be disappointed. #Monsterdon

Hey guys maybe global warming wasn't such a good idea

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦍 🌨️ 🗓️ 😱

Oh no is this about climate change

Ok, full approval of the orchestral score already #Monsterdon

This soundtrack is gonna be SOOOOOOO GOOOOD!!!!!!

Carmina Burana inspired!

#yeti #monsterdon

How yeti are we? #monsterdon

I can tell because the glaciers are melting.

#Monsterdon

How did they afford all this water?

#Monsterdon?

how about that for a cold open

#Monsterdon

Well, this movie went off the edge right away

#Monsterdon

Yeti is loaded and ready to roll.

Let's go #monsterdon

Getting ready to watch “Yeti”…
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon begins!

@paco

Would ya just watch the hair. Ya know, I work on my hair a long time and you hit it.

#Monsterdon

@allanb @ramsey @Copperplate @riedlr

Tough call. #monsterdon

“Does YOUR hair look this good when you’re thawed out by flame throwers? If you use YETI brand shampoo and conditioner it does!”
#monsterdon

this is my first usage of LosslessCut, a wonderful little OSS application for "editing multitool" (lossless) video tasks, like quickly clipping a segment

https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut

#Monsterdon denizens of various persuasions may be interested in knowing about this delightful cross-platform thingy.

Does anyone here feels that the end of tonight's #monsterdon movie would really improve if the whole cast singed "We no speak Americano" at the end?

@riedlr would probably fall under #Monsterdon's loose sense of horror, and sure would be fun

Looks like Tubi doesn't have a copy, although the Internet Archive does. If a free to watch not-the-IA copy can be found I think it would be a strong contender on the poll!

@Copperplate @allanb @riedlr @ramsey you say this like it’s an unrealistic goal. #monsterdon

@riedlr Ooh, that looks good! #Monsterdon

@Violinknitter

Hey, they were clairvoyantly covering my band! 🤣

#monsterdon #yeti

Watching #monsterdon late and the hashtag seems to say it was solidly "meh"

Top highlights of this week's #monsterdon movie (Yeti: Giant of the 20th Century):
- fully articulated yeti nipple
- funky 70s remix of O Fortuna
- Good Dog

10/10, would recommend

@YsengrinWolf No smoking?
#monsterdon

@bstacey I can only imagine he suddenly realized that he was in this terrible film. #monsterdon #yeti1977

@moira It's one of those things I just can't stop watching, despite my attempts. It's mesmerizing!

#Monsterdon

@moira
And the feet smashing windows!

#Monsterdon

why dies the girl only wear white, anyway? Is she Pierrot? Italian comedy has changed a bit. #monsterdon

Now I'm sad I did the Space: 1999 intro for Frogs and not for Yeti

#monsterdon #Yeti1977 #TeamYeti

@ramsey YAAAAAAAS

#monsterdon #Yeti1977 #TeamYeti

@Copperplate I fear I would not be equipped to do it justice which would be a blot on #monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie I KNOW RIGHT? You look at the rest of the list and - well, Critters 2 should work pretty well. But some of those others, hoo boy.

But they could surprise me.

#monsterdon #Yeti1977 #TeamYeti

It’s gonna take a few weeks after this masterpiece for us to watch a movie and not think “meh”, but we’ll get through it.

#monsterdon

Oh and post-#monsterdon I can add that it is _fantastic_ with blackberry preserves. Fantastic synthesis. Probably the vanilla, of course. But it works!

#Monsterdon

dog is hurt, I will rub my spit on him #monsterdon

@riedlr P.S. thanks for the perfect setup

#Monsterdon

If you thought Yeti was bizarre - check out the Japanese 1977 "House"!

Maybe a future nomination?!?!
#monsterdon

Oh yeah - there was no coffee or smoking that I noticed.

EDIT: since this is getting faved ... it has been pointed out that there *is* indeed smoking in an early scene. Mea culpa.

#Monsterdon #Yeti1977

My #letterboxd review for this film that will doubtless confound future scholars of cinema. Two stars https://letterboxd.com/film/yeti-the-giant-of-the-20th-century/ #monsterdon

If you're reading this, you're at the tail end of a long stream of posts on the feed about #Monsterdon, a fediverse community movie-watching event. This week we watched YETI (1977). See the post at the top of this thread for more info:

@gnomon yeah

just keep tellin' yourself that

xD

#monsterdon #Yeti1977 #TeamYeti

#Monsterdon #yeti was far worse than I remembered. This worries me. It implies I may voluntarily watch it for a third time in another 30 years 😬

Mimmo Crao is also in a sex comedy anthology called Sex With a Smile that also features Marty Feldman, aka Eye-gor from Young Frankenstein

@SordidAmok it's just not the same
