@allanb @riedlr @ramsey That nip scene is the real monster. #monsterdon

Yeti, Giant of the 20th Century is the perfect Monsterdon movie.
Gonna be hard to top for a while. Bight remain champion of good bad movies all year.
Until we do Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds anyway. Now that's a movie with a soundtrack.
#Monsterdon

@ramsey yep, I feel like we were seeing a bit of the "Writers Barely Hidden Fetish" there...

#monsterdon

They cheated us of YETI penis though, the cowards....

#monsterdon

I love bad horror movies. Bad movies in general really. It was so much fun watching one with a community of like-minded people. I will be making #Monsterdon a part of my weekly routine.

Who wore it better? The Yeti or Farrah Fawcett?

#Monsterdon #YetiGiantOfTheTwentiethCentury1977

If he's going to be yeet-ee he should at least throw some things. #monsterdon

@riedlr @ramsey Mhmm. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon ok that was fucking GOLD. i have *no regrets* for advocating the cause of #TeamYeti <3 ☃️

That was awful. I loved it. 😙👌 #Monsterdon #yeti1977

@Newpa_Hasai But what if not... #monsterdon #theyetians

"Chekhov's gun is a narrative principle stating that every element introduced in a story should be necessary to the plot, and if a detail is introduced, it should later be relevant"

Why was the kid mute?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon "yeti... boy, girl thank you. but please, go away." you took the words right out of my mouth lady :D

That nipple's going to be stuck firmly in my mind for a while.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The groomer is going to really hate getting all that raspberry coulis out of that poor dogs coat.

Thanks to our fabulous @Taweret for making sure this one got on the slate. For once, democracy worked. I'm sure @Taweret didn't have her thumb on the scales AT ALL.

#monsterdon #yeti

Can't believe they went with the Gentle Ben ending

#monsterdon

#monsterdon So, he walked from Toronto, to a mountain, and then to a coastline with a glacier?

I guess Canada does have all three of those things...

Yeti was in a movie about haircare with an environmental message. Sadly that wasn't the movie we watched.
#Monsterdon #Yeti

And that's a wrap. Wrapping up with some purpose-written Italian yeti lyrics. I'm sure this song was huge in Rome in the 70s.

#monsterdon

This movie deserves a sequel where the dog falls into an iceberg and wakes up several million years from now. #monsterdon

Now do we all understand why Monsterdon had to see this movie? Why it was championed for so long? It's so dumb and so crazy. And it has Lassie Jesus.
Also a yeti I guess?
#Monsterdon #Yeti

my final thoughts are "what the fuck did I just watch," which is really the ideal #Monsterdon experience, so I think this was a success. Did NOT expect all the Toronto content???

Thanks @Taweret for hosting as always! And @Cherizilla for the bingo card.

Best scene in the entire movie.

#Monsterdon

@OliviaVespera Don't forget Funkina Burana

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon they knew the funktuna with yeti lyrics was the highlight of the film

and so, many things occurred. I didn't really understand them but they sure did

ty for joining, everyone!!

#Monsterdon

okay, so Yeti lives the rest of his days alone on a gradually shrinking ice sheet, the boy never speaks again but it's fine coz his dog came back from the dead after being spat upon by Yeti, and the girl's creepy creeper has been squashed by the nicest guy she's met. so, i guess everything's fine. great job everyone. thank you but please go away. (^_^) #monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

Thank you @Taweret for hosting this furry farce! Now I need a snack!

and thanks @Cherizilla for the Bingo card! "Monsterdon cheers for the Yeti" is def appropriate.

And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: You bet your erect nipple this was one of the best tootstreams!

#Yeti #Yeti1977

I fucking told you! Best. #monsterdon. Ever!

"Constructed by the technicians at C.A.R.V.A.C"

hmmmm

#monsterdon

lol, so I guess the YETI was fucking off into the Sea?

Oh my, the theme tune has lyrics!

#monsterdon

Wait, yeti magic spit has zombified lassie?
#monsterdon

This is a weird episode of lassie #monsterdon #yeti1977

YOU BROUGHT HIM HERE AND NOW YOU'RE JUST TELLING HIM TO GO AWAY

HE DID NOT BRING THIS UPON HIMSELF

#monsterdon #yeti1977

Look out! He's got a tree!

#monsterdon

the 3 genders:
yeti
boy
girl

#monsterdon

SQUISH

#monsterdon

"Yeeti...Boy....Girl....Thank you....But Please...go away"

Fucking Shakespeare that.

#monsterdon

Upon further review, it was a rifle grenade

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

I think I missed the part where the big bad explained what his plan was... I'm not sure how framing the Yeti is going to help him do anything? Like I guess he wants to kidnap the Yeti for his own evil business, maybe? Or kill the Yeti and sell the body?

I dunno.

#monsterdon

Apparenlty, the kid who played Herbie Honeycutt (Jim Sullivan) seems not to have appeared in another film.

#monsterdon

"Yeti is friend to all children!"

#monsterdon

So we have entered the car chase in the movie, where a convoy of goon-laden sports cars are trying to lure the Yeti to the top of the mountain, and the Yeti is yelling at them and smashing one car with a giant rock that he got from the giant rock store. Some of the goons run off a cliff and die because they were dumb.

The police are following, and the Smart Daughter is following too, on foot; she gets the police to give her a lift.

#monsterdon

If the dog dies, we riot

#monsterdon

A large boulder the size of a small boulder held by a variable-size yeti

#Monsterdon

So the daughter, being the smartest character, realizes that this is all Yellow Jacket Man's fault and his goons kidnap her and kill her dog, the greatest crime in this movie.

Yellow Jacket Man is about to sexually assault her. Then the Yeti breaks down the wall to rescue her and her brother; the goons run away (taking the little brother), and we get a sad camera pan over the dying dog; the Yeti screams in mourning before leaving the building (which explodes).

#monsterdon

lol, they just throw themselves off the cliff, the film being too much for them.

#monsterdon

@skatem at this point in Canada - 1977 - there was a weird- haired celebrity child singer named Rene Simard that I suspect they may have been channelling here with Herbie.

#monsterdon

I don't like this

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

So they had a bed there specifically so they could shoehorn in an attempted rape before the movie was over. Goddamnit 70s! #monsterdon

How to give your characters depth, Yeti-style

1) make your character a weirdo (he descends to a picnic via a helicopter carrying a ski lift
2) give your character a tragic flaw (e.g. greedy businessman willing to exploit sasquatches for fame and fortune)
3) give your character a sympathetic reaction (e.g. he feels bad when he friend dies because of his actions)

#monsterdon

Kid runs in past "do not enter" sign:

Become Ungovernable

#Monsterdon

"The police will never believe you"

1977, folks.

#Monsterdon

Greatest sad face on the history of italian-canadian cinema.
#monsterdon

DID THEY JUST STAB THE DOG

C'mon back, yeti, we're going to need some more stomping, please and thanks.

#monsterdon

Mimmo Crao throwing Tonka toys in 5 4 3...

#monsterdon

The next sequence is the Yeti trodding around the warehouse killing goons; one which he strangles with his giant foot. After that he wanders around and starts approaching downtown, screaming the entire time. This makes the puny humans scream. More yellow cop cars are summoned.

#monsterdon

Yetis love breaking glass. It’s science. #monsterdon #yeti

proposition: death by Yeti toes is the writer's barely-disguised fetish in action, taken with the shot of those piggies in the beginning of the thawing sequence

#Monsterdon

Unpleasant Ways to Die #monsterdon

"DAY POSING AS NIGHT!"

#monsterdon

Wilhelm Scream time.

COME ON SQUISH HIM

#monsterdon

Look, if a fucking Yeti manages to sneak up on you, it's your fault

#Monsterdon

The yeti woke up, killed an egghead, reconnected his breathing tubes and went back to sleep. Sounds plausible

#monsterdon

The villains suffered massive cardboard box injuries.

#monsterdon

The green van is like the Canadian Mystery Machine

#monsterdon

The yeti, an enormous monster who can hold an entire adult woman and a child in the palm of his hand easily, somehow, inside a enclosed warehouse where he cannot stand up, while nearly passed out, went on a rampage and killed one guy, with no apparent damage to anything else in the entire building.

Uh-huh.

#monsterdon #yeti1977

#Monsterdon Yeti has had such a trying time. Rampaging through Toronto is very tiring work.

(For anyone wondering why these two goons are wandering through a field of parked construction vehicles, that part is completely plausible. Toronto's like that.)

MONSTER SQUASH! ...or not..? Mysteriously spared?? Oh, nope, grabbed between two toes and then squished murderously, I think? This is a bit hard to follow.

#monsterdon

After murdering the Doctor, the sleezy goons call more sleezy goons; I thought this was to smuggle the Yeti away but it seems like it was to set another evil plot in motion. When the cops and the daughter arrive, they cannily leave one goon behind to pretend he was knocked unconscious by the Yeti, and that the Yeti killed the Fourth Doctor.

#monsterdon

Time for the YEETI FOOT!

BLAM!

#monsterdon

"...hello, police? I'd like to report a yeticide."

#Monsterdon #YetiGiantOfThe20thCentury

That has to be the most pointless "don't look" in cinema history

#Monsterdon

they framed the yeti for the professor's murder... rude

#monsterdon

So many combovers as well, this movie is brimming with sleazy men!

#monsterdon

Why are they body-slamming the prof?

#monsterdon

He can't breath? Is he dying? Not Yeti.
#Monsterdon #Yeti

#Monsterdon The Yeti looks like he’s just lost, in overly hairy overalls.

They never really decided how big the yeti was supposed to be. He keeps changing size

#monsterdon

"The Yeti lost his balance, then fell, then shrunk." #monsterdon

MOVIE TRIVIA: The role of Devil Girl was originally played by JD Vance. The role was recast after test audiences died of cringe. #monsterdon #JDVance

#Monsterdon The Yeti should teabag one of those smashed open windows.

"I've hidden the YEETI"

cuts to YETI standing in broad daylight in a car park

#monsterdon

“Spread out! Look high and low! We’ve got to find that Yeti!” #monsterdon

I wish people got off the bus that quickly normally.

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

And her neck snaps like a wishbone and SHE IS OUTTA HEEEEEEEERE!

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

we 're watching an Italian film. because we're cultured

#Monsterdon

lol, such accurate information from the random crowd, good NPCs

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Yeti is fine up until the Paparazzi show up. That actually tracks.

I love that he just fucks with the elevator passengers. #monsterdon

lol @ the venal, selfish display from everyone getting out of the lift and leaving YEETI girl behind...

Humanity is the Monster

#monsterdon

I choose to believe the yeti was just trolling them and is now having a laugh offscreen at all the panicky people

#Monsterdon

!!!

Finally, a movie showing an elevator getting its cable rigging messed up *and acknowledging the presence of rail brakes*!!

Huge points to Yeti for that detail! Thank you, Yeti. Theti.

#monsterdon

Lol, now this feels like The Towering Inferno

BREAK DOWN THAT WALL!

#monsterdon

Ha - not getting very far with the plot development yet, but they're giving their bluescreen (precursor to green-screen chroma-key) a good workout.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Ontario Place!

Is there an official count of Canadian flags in this film?

What’s all this aboot? #monsterdon

"Please, what's happening?"

"The yeti has gone berserk!!"

Here we go, 53 minutes in and _now_ the movie has really begun

#monsterdon

DISCO REMIX OF PSEUDO CARMINA BURANA THIS IS AMAZING #monsterdon
