That's a good line. I'm going to use that.

#monsterdon Turns out anybody can catch Pegasus. No wonder the flying horses are extinct.

BTW y’all noticed how Andromeda had to break the gold and emerald necklace to become free?

marriage, to the greeks, was an arrangement of reproductive slavery at worse, indentured servitude at best.

la familia was was the name of the breeding house slave.

in Spanish esposo and esposa means handcuffed and handcuffs.

just saying.

TONIGHT

IT'S #MONSTERDON

we will be watching

Clash of the Titans (1981)

"Perseus (Harry Hamlin), son of the Greek god Zeus (Laurence Olivier), grows up on a deserted island. His destiny is to marry Princess Andromeda (Judi Bowker), who will someday rule the city of Joppa. But as long as the satyr Calibos (Neil McCarthy) -- who uses a giant vulture to kidnap Andromeda's soul every night -- is alive, no one can marry her. Perseus travels to Joppa, where he must defeat Calibos and other mythological monsters to rescue Andromeda."

@Taweret As someone who's asleep at the time, and needs to get up for work, I still enjoy scrolling through the #monsterdon TL when I wake up. 😁

#Monsterdon

Thanks @Taweret for bending to the will of the people and making them eat what they voted for

Palate-cleansing time I think

#monsterdon

Did this movie need to be made?

No

Did we need to watch this move?

Also no

Did we have a good time?

Again, no

#Monsterdon

We are hearing the lamentations of the test screening audience.

#monsterdon

how do you fuck up dubbing 'la la la'?

#Monsterdon

later, that daynight ...
#monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Special thanks to our guest host @wohali, filling in for @Taweret!

Tonight's feature, #GodzillaFinalWars , from 2004, not only had Kaiju, Mutants, and Aliens, but also,

But yeah, that was fun! You can see what *literally every sci fi movie made for four decades after* was chasing, huh. #Monsterdon

So… did they keep the 60 gallons of bourbon?
#monsterdon

C'mon over here, honey, let's watch your home blow up. How romantic. #Monsterdon

have they considered that the laser gorilla is just very strong and powerful and is a higher level than them and they aren't supposed to be in this region of the map yet #monsterdon

He died the way he lived… off-camera
#monsterdon

IQs are bullshit tho

#Monsterdon

"A thing like this is too big to evaluate"

You know your one lightweight friend who has a single drink and then everything sounds slightly dirty and hilarious? This movie was made for them

Also yes I am that one friend

🙊 FORBIDDEN TRIVIA 🪐

Ann Francis ("Alteira") wore a minidress, the first time in a Hollywood movie. It got the movie banned in Spain by Generalissimo Francisco Franco, who is still dead.

here’s the thing, neither of these guys is good. at least thr techbro owns his violence. the bitchy scientist thinks he is above the fray; but the only reason he does his sciencing is to be a settler colonialist.

so fuck the science guy a million miles from Sunday.

science for settler colonialism is violence.

#monsterdon

wanted to play the OG black & white version, but forgot to download it, so off to color i go.

these opening credits are 🔥🔥🔥 and this moon shot is actually THE MOOD! is this gonna be an actully good movie?

i just reckoned it’s a Ray Harryhausen production, so no wonder the visuals have kicked ass so far.

#Monsterdon

almost didn’t make it to #monsterdon tonight, so thanks to @Taweret and the whole gang for tonight’s foolishness. totally worth it.

#wrongFrogs #monsterdon

I told a coworker about #monsterdon and she said "It sounds too intellectual for me". So, obviously I did a bad job with it.

I had someone smile at me like that once. The next several years were pretty interesting. #monsterdon

I'm sad I've missed #Monsterdon but today isn't a total waste because I did get to meet and snuggle Bear.

Bear is just eight weeks old and his fur is wooly puppy fur and he has puppy breath and needle sharp puppy teeth and a pink warm puppy tummy and no I did not steal him but yes I REALLY wanted to do that

#puppy #dogs #dogsOfMastodon #puppyBreath #puppyTummy #needleSharpPuppyTeeth

#monsterdon

btw, who’s the #Obsidian lead developer? it’s their fault i missed #Monsterdon yesterday and been kinda quiet in here. it ain’t perfect, but for my AuDHD addled brain, that productivity app of theirs is too good. suspiciously good 🤨

who says your movie hase to have a "resolution" or "satisfying conclusion"

those things are for cowards

you can just stop your movie at an arbitrary point and roll the credits. no one can stop you

#monsterdon

#monsterdon "That's Victor, and his buddy Hugo"

I'll bet they're both feeling pretty... miserable

👀

#monsterdon CHRISTOPHER LEE, IN THE CASTLE, WITH THE CAVALRY SABER

The true monster of this movie is 'pacing'

#monsterdon

the tailoring in this movie is amazing. that coat and vest on Peter Cushing are also a look. well done costume designers, well done.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

seriously, white people will go into creepy buildings filled with all types of monsters, and at all times of the day and night, but won't fight fascists.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

#mastersoftheuniverse #monsterdon

#monsterdon To repeat @Taweret@octodon.social because the most important part of this evenings entertainment was “You all voted for this.” -- yes. I think we've established that we likely do not truly grasp what voting means. We didn't get it at the start of November, and we still don’t get it, today. We need adults. More adultier adults. :)

#monsterdon The animated Harryhausen model is still wandering around I bet. Lonely. Confused. Wondering if its SAG card is still good, or if there is anything left of the craft services table after the PIranha got to it!

#monsterdon _Wow_. The filmmakers managed to find a way to work in a boat jump _and_ a fuel explosion, on a pretext thinner than wet crepe paper. We are watching masters at work here tonight.

She has a certain Nancy Drew energy that I appreciate. #monsterdon

Our #Monsterdon Bingo contributors this week included @brennen, @Newpa_Hasai, @r343l, @dmoonfire, @douglasfur, @philvuchetich, @RufusJCooter, @rebeld, @liferstate, @diazona, @Bluedepth, @RobynGoodfellow, @Configures and @helianthropy

(hopefully I didn't miss anyone)

Yowza! I wasn't able to include every suggestion, but I noted them down for future ocean monster movies. Big thanks, everyone! 🐟

This morning I watched a matinee of Nosferatu (2024) with my sister and brother Josh, and this evening I watched Battle Beyond the Stars (1980) with a bunch of #monsterdon weirdos. I think I may be suffering from cinematic whiplash.

so, whether he admits it or not, Roger Corman is huge influence on James Cameron

Aha! The #monsterdon tonight is "The Robot vs the Aztec Mummy" (1958).

I didn't realize there was a whole series of Aztec Mummy flicks. Given how gloriously bad the previous one was, it seems worth a look. I recall the mummy didn't show up until the last fifth of the movie.

And it turned into a vampire briefly, for no apparent reason, so we have that to look forward to.

Ways to make #ThePhantomPlanet better

* make the solar monsters smarter and more interesting
* make the planet denizens smarter and more interesting
* put more characterization into the characters before trying to set up love triangles. or just don't set up love triangles
* add better reasons for the main character to want to get home and better reasons for the planet people to oppose this.
* add space lesbians. in fact all the characters are lesbians now.

#monsterdon

So.......not a single cat in this movie then?

#monsterdon

I learned that I love Lola Albright and her science-appropriate couture.

Honestly, and I think I say this on behalf of everyone, it's been one helluva week and this has been, hands-down the best release.

Very grateful and seriously happy.

Thanks @Taweret@octodon.social for the flik and @cheribaker for the bingo and everyone for the community.

#Monsterdon

"ants are savage, ruthless and courageous"

i can't argue with that

#Monsterdon #THEM

OMG the aliens are basically from the creepy plant of Little Shop of Horrors but with legs

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986 #Alt4Me

I have no idea if this story is true, but who cares?

#monsterdon

BTW it is interesting to see how in this heathen place, there's still a lord of the manor. not even the kind of egaletarian clans that supposedly the Celts had.

so, in theory, this is one of the most fucked up depictions of a cult on film.

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

but... but... why is Christopher Lee wearing argyle socks with a plaid skirt?!?!

now, THAT has to be a fashion faux-pas even for filthy pagans.

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

Got my #monsterdon t-shirt this week! I love the design (prefer this monochrome line drawing version). Suitable attire for watching on Sunday evening.

who did it better, Lil Nas X or King Gargoyle

#monsterdon

also, i guess the first time i saw the villain in this movie he was just reprising his role... in the Flintstones

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

OK this was a monsterpalooza but the real monster was the whitemansplaining dingbat professor for shooting inside a cave.

well done crew! we did it! we choose a good awful one today.

thanks @Taweret@octodon.social and all you lovely dingbatty monsterdonians.

#Monsterdon #JTTCenterOfTheEarth

THANK YOU MONSTERDONIANS! and thank you @Taweret@octodon.social for another aweome #Monsterdon

after all these years, i finally watched Logan's Run.

this is what happens when you let AI run a whole civilization. btw, AI is totally incapable of imagining a future with non-Europeans, melanin-challenged peoples.

#Monsterdon #LongansRun

Is the reason it's called "#Monsterdon" because Godzilla is the head of the Kaiju crime syndicate?

The first time I saw the tag #monsterdon I thought it said #monsterdom and thought it was a BDSM term I'd never heard.

Props to the guy who keeps reporting as his tower does down, now that's professionalism

#monsterdon

a little behind the scene of this power grid scene. look up to the top of the pic.

Ishiro Honda was making millions with movies deemed too trash by the elites so he could shit on capitalists, all day and all night and am here for it.

This chariot sequence was shot without permits. Real 70s shit, just fuck it, get the crew and do whatever.

#Monsterdon

Pluto is the only character so far that could have broken into a musical number and I'd have just gone with it.

#monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork1970

isn't Pluto a ROMAN deity, not greek? actually, same with Mercury. isn't Mercury supposed to be Hermes?

#Monsterdon #HerculesInNewYork

I'm expecting Austin Powers to walk in any minute. "Yeah, babyyy"

I'm going to start posting with the #Nodretsnom hash tag and no one will know what I'm talking about.

what the hell frank? you were going to live forever with your hot goth babe wife being benign landlords that only needed to occasionally drain a sustainable amount of blood from your tenants while they were sleeping but otherwise carry on as respected members of the community providing affordable, clean, safe housing to the downtrodden bloodbags #monsterdon

Filming seemed to have been less boring than the movie.

Trivia: "While filming, Louise Allbritton and co-star Robert Paige were constantly playing jokes on their cast mates. One day, Pat Moriarity and Paige were filming a scene where they flip open her character's coffin. They were astonished upon opening the lid to find Allbritton inside, completely naked."

#monsterdon

I think someone smarter than me could write a paper about the way Son of Dracula sort of Americanizes the vampire. Changing it from a psychosexual thing to a race science thing. "A young and virile country" and all that. #Monsterdon

"The girl was morbid"

They prefer to be called Goths

oh hey you broke into my house and were snooping around my basement, let me take you into my room where i keep my wife sitting bolt upright fully clothed in bed to tell you everything is fine #monsterdon
