@paco That is the most Canadian outfit Italy could afford.
#Monsterdon #Yeti
twist a knob! turn a dial! ogle an oscilloscope!
βFascinating, instead of a heart he has a tiny squeaky mouse running in a wheel.β #monsterdon
By George, the pulse sounds like someone trying cardboard box drumming for the very first time!
What did the Yeti breathe before he was frozen? #Monsterdon #yeti1977
They're using the hell out of Carmina Burana for a soundtrack. When they're not doing chick-chicka-bow-wow.
#Monsterdon *rinsing all the shampoo out of my hair*
More fantastic costuming. #monsterdon
I guess they had to lift the creature into the air to speed the thawing because they didn't have bushels of Mentos then #monsterdon
it was so the ice would sublimate/melt at a lower temperature??? because high altitude? that's... that's actually *vaguely* reasonable aside from the being in a helicopter part
@brooke THAT'S why I haven't noticed anything weird about the clothes. They just feel like home.
Oh for tuna! Well, at Luna's. Let's take this Yeti out to lunch πΆ
#Monsterdon
mm, delicious science beepy noises. #monsterdon
mountain yeti oysters are the rarest of delicacies
I realize the Himalayas are tall and yes there is more UV at that altitude, but they aren't exactly in the ozone layer science guy.
I keep getting jump scared by this tense music, I forgot (or didn't realize? π₯΄ ) that it was actual music and not just meme shit for car commercials or w/e
#monsterdon
CLEAR! Breathe, you goddamn yeti, breathe! Don't give in! #Monsterdon
O Poor Yeti!
Yeti. Part of this complete balanced breakfast.
Herbie appears to be the Harpo Marx of this merry little band. #monsterdon
Oh is he one of those grow yetis that you put in water #monsterdon #yeti1977
Is there some reason he had to be thawed out at altitude? Did I miss something?
Why couldn't we have done this on the ground? #Monsterdon #Yeti1977
why is everyone in this film dressed like a Portland lesbian
yeti candle smells like pine #monsterdon
#monsterdon He's gonna need some herbal essence when he's up
The Yeti's luscious locks are defrosting. How did he get that hair? What conditioner does he use?
#Monsterdon #Yeti
(mm, my monitor suddenly cut out. is my PC trying to save my life? #monsterdon )
C'mon team science, get on it! Yeti Jesus won't resurrect himself!
This tiny helo is lifting BOTH a giant Yeti and water and oxygen and other equipment? WOW that's some helo!
oh yea sure thaw it out while transporting it beneath a helicopter
that seems like a good idea
Wait. So, he wants to take him to a higher altitude for the colder air that's his natural habitat, but he wants to enrich the oxygen because ... that's what he's used to? What? I'm confused.
#monsterdon like washing clay of a model
Ice or Elmer's Glue?!?! #monsterdon
okay apparently the midair thawing is ON PURPOSE. what da heck
O FOOT-UNA #Monsterdon
Or you could leave him at sea level and shine UV lights on him? Would save a lot of fuel #Monsterdon
Some fine ham radio kit on that table there #Monsterdon #Yeti1977
"At least he's in a phone booth, he can call home!" - MY MOM, ladies and gentlemen.
In Northern Ontario, Werner Herzog does science. Overdubbed for your pleasure.
"The blood is thawing! We could speed up the process with a metric shit-ton of hand warmers and amphetamine."
How on earth would you speed up blood thawing "chemically"? Add ethanol?
why would you speed up the melting process when he's HANGING AT TWELVE THOUSAND FEET IN THE AIR FROM A HELICOPTER
That doesn't look like a very gradual thaw to me dude #Monsterdon
Thatβs some parka, young man. #Monsterdon
@socketwench oh ya betcha.
#Monsterdon true story: I only moved to Minnesota when I was 12, but when I've been to Europe most people assume I'm Canadian. I was raised in California and North Carolina, but the MN accent overcame the others.
#monsterdon Bigfoot's big ass.
Do you think the person who designed that interior ever saw the inside of a helicopter. #Monsterdon #Yeti1977
Oh, the booth is a tiny carwash for yetis #Monsterdon
omg I love this silly cockpit set
Everyone in this helicopter looks like they're recovering from the worst hangover of their life. #monsterdon
Wait. Is this a single helicopter lifting this massive creatureβ½ How big is this helicopter? Holy rotors!
Everyone needs a blood thawing expert on a scientific team. #monsterdon
@moira I watched Iceman in a community college anthropology class. It was pretty dope. #Monsterdon
So, basically they are lifting the yeati with a phonebooth?
#monsterdon
First yeti in flight #monsterdon #yeti1977
that Yeti sure is Doctor Who now with his flying phone booth, eh fellow nerds #monsterdon
The drones over Jersey were Yeti transports.
#monsterdon what's the alternative to thawing blood chemically?
βThat might be harmfulβ
Oh, and shooting him with flamethrowers and hanging him from a helicopter isnβt? #Monsterdon
The out of focus model helicopter plays a role here, but I think it's just in another movie.
@apLundell Every second that passes it looks more like one #monsterdon
What are we counting down to #monsterdon #yeti1977
Universe, I'm getting Iceman (1984) feels from this thing.
60s dr. who sfx crew going "oh come on, you can do better than that"
#Monsterdon π¦ π¨οΈ ποΈ π±
Frozen Yeti looks just like an Iditarod musher coming out of Blowhole
This girl is reading from the Wikipedia entry about her own life
@paco "costumes", huh?
#Monsterdon yeti is going to space
Itβs so real. #Monsterdon
That helicopter will not be blinded with its tinted windows.
@srol 11 minutes of "Last time, on Yeti" #monsterdon
Weβve gone from Carmina Burana to cut-rate Puccini, by the way #Monsterdon
The extreme close ups are not making that toy look any bigger. #Monsterdon #Yeti1977
Countdown? They're launching the yeti into space? #Monsterdon
Vomiting up some exposition. #Monsterdon
There's a countdown, Are they going to flash-fry/thaw the yeti?
Oh, they're helicoptering them away.
Spared no expense on helicopters for this βincredibleβ film. And by incredible I really mean, hard to believe.
#monsterdon
"This time he's got to live free, as he likes."
Is this not your first Yeti? There's been other, failed, yeti experiments we've missed out on? Show THOSE movies.
Great the way you can see the clouds and mountains through the yeti in that shot >_> #Monsterdon
Ok. This is my WTF theme for this film. Who is doing costumes!? What the hell?
#monsterdon
#monsterdon i seem to be lagging behind a bit here.
EVERYONE in Canada wears plaid and ski caps. #monsterdon
they'reg onna blast him with microwaves aren't they
I am loving all the crane "stunts" in this movie
Yeti copter away! Wait why is he in a helicopter? I've got it muted while podcast recording runs long.
#Monsterdon #Yeti
Why are we trying to reanimate him while heβs hanging from a helicopter??? #Monsterdon
That toy helicopter really got some times on it during shooting. #Monsterdon #Yeti1977
casually dropping βmy parents died in a place crashβ lol #Monsterdon
There's more Canadian flags on this set than there are at my employer's 70 building campus
More helicopter blade closeups! #Monsterdon
Reel to reel recorder cameo. #Monsterdon #Yeti1977
#monsterdon Oh, a kid that's mute because of psychological reasons?
I can't wait to see how tear-jerking it'll be at the end of the film when he talks normally.
So I missed the first 12 minutes of the film, it took them this long to build the yeti I assume. #monsterdon
wait the twelve year old boy is actually a twelve year old boy?
#monsterdon
Them effects!
Big Snowman!
