#Monsterdon Why do this aloft… oh, I don’t really care. It’s a fun ride anyhow.

Did you say UNLOCK?!?!?!?!

#yeti #monsterdon

OMG, the scale of the YETI is all over the place, it's hurting my senses...making me ill...

#monsterdon

Yeti. He cleans up nice. #Monsterdon

(Helicopter delivers giant Yeti T.A.R.D.I.S.)

#Monsterdon

LOL@ the way Cliff looked back to the camera after flipping that switch, with his chain bouncing on his hair chest...

#monsterdon

He is awake! Quick, put him to sleep!
#monsterdon

"I'm in a glass cage of emotion!!!" #Monsterdon

The Yeti’s voice actor #monsterdon

Who are the kids? Did he bring his grandchildren and their dog to meet the Yeti? #monsterdon

Why is Tommy Chong flying the helicopter?

#monsterdon

How long were that girl and that middle aged man hugging on the back seat of that helicopter....

lol, now they're refreezing him because he's freaking out?!

#monsterdon

This movie has a 50s feel somehow.

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

They couldn't figure out how to do a heartbeat on an oscilloscope, so they went with a sine wave.

#monsterdon

omg the meowing oscilloscope

#Monsterdon

The Yeti looks rather a handsome bloke

#monsterdon

The oscilloscope is meowing why is it meowing #Monsterdon

#monsterdon The yeti is going to get all soggy. They should have put it in a plastic bag before soaking it in warm water.

This yeti has a great beard

#Monsterdon

This doesn't looks like ice... I wonder how kinky this yeti was.
#monsterdon

O FORTUNA #monsterdon

#Monsterdon wait he lived in the himalayas? but they found him in canada?

"The Yeti is part of nature"

So is manure, and that's pretty much what we've got so far with this movie

#Monsterdon

"We'll thaw him out gradually.

"Turn on the shaved coconut gun!"

sprays Yeti with shaved coconut

#monsterdon

You dug up a yeti corpse and defrosted it with flamethrowers and you're air lifting him to a lab but NOW you want to leave it all up to nature???

#Monsterdon

I feel like waking him in a cage as you fly at 10,000 is, um, dangerous

#monsterdon

Looks like we need a bigger toy helicopter

#Monsterdon #Yeti1977

@moira Eh, it's a yeti, not godzilla

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

The table with the audio equipment seems to be channeling Close Encounters a bit.

#monsterdon

So, the kid is going to speak at some crucial moment. Probably to save his sister. I hope I didn't ruin it for anybody.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon this movie uses a lot of gantries. So many gantries.

#Monsterdon There goes Sam and Dean in the Impala.

"Herbie lost his voice in that plane accident in which my father and mother died."

That was the most wooden delivery of a line I've ever heard. She even used formal written grammar "in which my..." WTF?!

People don't talk like that.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "philosophy has no place in science" "i think it should, we've been ignoring it too long" <- there it was, the entire useful content of this film <3

I saw another Canadian Flag!

#monsterdon

"Especially my grandfather who's like a father and mother to him"

Huh

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon pilot the yeti, shinji. or rei will have to do it again

He's 39, she's 16. They're definitely hooking up.

#monsterdon

Bought back to life when it wasn't even frozen correctly in the first place?

I have a lot of biologist friends who would kill to know their techniques...because sometimes people freeze down a master stock of a say a stable cell line the wrong way. For example. Not pointing any fingers.

#Monsterdon

wake up babe new Honeycut Enterprises trademark just dropped

#Monsterdon

Prehistoric Facetime.

#Monsterdon

Huh, apparently yetis and the like are well known and fairly well understood creatures? Like at least as much as velociraptors?

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

so far this movie is delivering on the patterned clothing

#monsterdon

The eighth dwarf, Henry, became a professor of paleontology. #monsterdon

@skatem oh @Cherizilla one for the bingo pool

#Monsterdon

lol, "fuck off Science you won't be needed in this movie!"

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon at least they are equal opportunity national bigots. It’s kind of sweet actually. A bygone time…

Oops, his first movie was Three Lord's Prayers for Four Scoundrels. Must Men Be Beautiful came later. And I think we all know the answer.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon chekov's flamethrower

#Monsterdon 🦍 🌨️ 🗓️ 😱

their lips are def moving in Italian

Italian-Canadian
This is an odd one...
#monsterdon

it's a spaghYeti western youall #monsterdon #yeti1977

Yeti starts with a scene of a glacier melting into the sea, followed by some Hecking Awesome Orchestral Music, and a cool pan over the ocean, in which we see a boat.

Fuck yes, that's a good start to a #monsterdon movie; I love me some boats!

We then switch to a pan over a technologically advanced city, partly as seen from a space needle type restaurant and a helicopter, and then the helicopter approaches a guy who is minding his own business and fishing.

#monsterdon

"North" Canada? Uhh... isn't Canada just ALL North?!? #monsterdon

average millionaire

#Monsterdon

We have a helicopter arriving for a fisherman. Is the yeti going to be "one last job?"

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

Mimmo Crao's first movie was Must Men Be Beautiful?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Uh, is this a porno movie?

(legally distinct Carmina Burana) I do like that the low brass earned their paycheck in the first 5 seconds though

Holy heck - we just saw Ontario Place go by in that opening sequence

#monsterdon

I know this music and it's not from this film....#Monsterdon

Launching my #monsterdon thread for Yeti: the Giant of the 20th Century, a movie which I expect includes a big hairy guy.

Monsterdon is the thing where we watch a monster movie every week and make fun of it. Feel free to join us if that sounds fun, or mute the hash tag if a wall of monster movie posts sounds annoying to you.

Oh Fortuna remix in the opening credits?

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

we have karmina burana theme

#Monsterdon #Yeti1977

I went on a cruise to Alaska and never got to see any glacers calving. Still bitter #monsterdon

It's a pretty sustained iceberg calving scene to start us off, and some very dramatic music and blood-red titles.

#monsterdon

Ready, steady, yeti!!

#monsterdon

"Toronto, City of the Future!"

Let's go!

#monsterdon

starting off with a nice icebreaker #monsterdon

And that's how the Titanic sank, kids... #monsterdon

We open with global warming and sea level rise?

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

@Lazarou #monsterdon
Maybe don’t hold your breath.

Yeti, set, go!
#monsterdon

gotta come back to this thread and add a still of that Univac system

#Monsterdon

@allanb @Copperplate @davesdogmaggie @riedlr Depends on how gratuitous it was. Seems pretty gratuitous to me, so... maybe?

#Monsterdon

@old_angry_queer Two words: Yeti nipple.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon nipplegasm.

@davesdogmaggie @jonny @riedlr Jane clearly thought it seemed wrong.

#Monsterdon

@emma fully articulated! 🤣

#Monsterdon

@moira @davesdogmaggie We better get Critters 2 next. March is for monsters with incredible hair. Also make a delicious Yeti sandwich with crispy Crite buns.
#Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial one does have to show his respect for you including #monsterdon and presumably social media as a whole in the things to abstain from during your vacation.

@SordidAmok Do you have a link? If that is Tentacoli (German name „Der Polyp“), we did that already to great success: https://monsterdon-replay.gerlach.dev/tentacles

Although I don’t find Mimmo in the credits. #monsterdon

OMG! What if it WASN'T Yeti's NIPPLE?!?!? #monsterdon

For anyone who cares: I won't be participating in #monsterdon next Sunday because of vacation. I trust you all to put in a good showing for whatever will be playing

@apLundell I was thinking maybe 18 for the smart daughter, since I thought she had sort of a technical job at the start of the film, and maybe a young teenager for the little brother? But maybe I'm guessing that they're too old?

#monsterdon

@Smallwork I feel like I should go to the ER. I'm hallucinating weird things like people dumping tomato saunce into containers and someone playing with a yeti's nipple... #monsterdon

@faoluin OMG this is AMAZING

#Monsterdon

@strangefour They probably had a giant inflatable prosthetic nipple just lying around and figured they better make good use of it

#Monsterdon

@brooke WE WERE RIGHT ALL THESE YEARS!

#monsterdon #Yeti1977 #TeamYeti

And the mute boy never spoke? #Monsterdon

My personal favorite #monsterdon bit is whenever something is destroyed in a very obligatory fashion to post "He hates X" In the style of Steve Martin in The Jerk #monsterdon

Well that one wasn't great, but it wasn't truly abominable. Thank you to @Taweret for enabling us to witness this #monsterdon

@SnoopJ Luck o' th' random number generator! ^_^

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

I definitely must see the followup sitcom where the yeti goes to college

Indio goes along to keep an eye on him

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon the dog looks like it got into a jar of raspberry jam

@riedlr Did you not just watch the same movie?

#Monsterdon

So the #Monsterdon Yeti most definitely Pet Sematary'ed Indio, right? I mean that's a lot of raspberry jam.

@ramsey WTF? Did that actually happen??!? #monsterdon

That was a lot of fun, #Monsterdon.

As always, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, and everyone else for the laughs!

Cheers!

@SordidAmok I think they are his grandkids, so it's probably his Legacy he's really concerned about. #Monsterdon

@70sgayspaceangel him and the Professor were lovers back in Uni, hence the tears #monsterdon
