Some species of ancient sea snails (chitons) do have metals in their raduli (teeth), so the science babble is slightly less stupid than it sounds.
Slightly.

IT'S #MONSTERDON

Bog (1979)
"Dynamite fishing in a rural swamp revives a prehistoric gill monster that must have the blood of human females in order to survive."
its streaming free on tubi
please watch and live post it with us!!
Ok so the idea of having #monsterdon projected onto the side of a building for the whole neighborhood is back on. Buddy of mine just got his hands on a projector that we'll have to test out and I found a guitar amp for sound.
Post-#Monsterdon update: my kid went to a friend's house, convinced them to watch Frogs (#RightFrogs not #WrongFrogs). I'm a proud papa.

What should our next #Monsterdon movie be?
Whew, that was A LOT. All the happening made up for every movie where we were like, "It'd be cool if something would actually happen." Goodnight #monsterdon, and thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
And a proper fucking off into the sea!
It's gonna be great when this movie goes on for a solid two entire hours and STILL manages to end abruptly.
Me: Are they ripping off Yuen Woo-Ping?
@paco : They are ripping off everything.
Me: Oh yeah. Fair point.
I think after this film they had to stop making Godzilla films just because nobody could think of anything else to do that Final Wars didn't at least try. #Monsterdon
I have never seen a film so deadly earnest be so *absolutely hilarious.* #Monsterdon
This movie is what plays in an 8-year-old's head when he gets extra mozzarella sticks. #Monsterdon
YES GODDAMN IT the baby godzilla better be our god damned savior #monsterdon
Version of #ForbiddenPlanet where all the astronauts are femme lesbians, and they're all attracted to the scientist's daughter, who is the one butch lesbian in the movie.
The daughter flirts back by asking to help fix their Klyston transmitter with a comically gigantic wrench. The astronauts don't need help but they let her come just to hang out.
Instead of a sparkly dress, the daughter asks Robbie to synthesize her a flannel shirt to go with her tank top.
Oops! I accidentally watched the wrong planet! #WrongFrogs #monsterdon
@SordidAmok "why does present futurism seem so bad in comparison to past futurism?" is a sobering question to contemplate.
@strangefour what we need to balance it, is a terrible movie that passes the Bechdel test....and has monsters
Monsters from the Id is the name of my new pre-menstrual EDM band
This animated monster was decades ahead of its time. No wonder this was such an influential classic. #monsterdon
I feel like the writing has all the baseline straight humor that movies like Airplane were making fun of?
how did you tell from the footprint it had a big curvy tow claw?
I know its supposed to be amazing that she can have emeralds made just to wear on a tuesday but it looks like costume kids jewelry which kinda undercuts that idea

All you want to do is play mind games. Well, count me out.
Based on my food service experience, I'd say a bloody corpse exploding with worms would be enough to get the place shut down for a few days at least
#Monsterdon Slugs is brought to you by... Gushers!
#monsterdon These sure are high school students.
these movies are created to condition gringos into only responding out of fear and othering those who aren't like them.
notice how the demons are always black and semitic looking.
when Trump talks about us latines as maggoty hordes crossing the border and terrorizing their women and children, these are the images and feelings he conjures up on his cult followers.
horror movies are always about what would happen if the terrorized didnt have whiteness to protect them
And it turns out the Sheriff was the real monster all along.
it’s amazing how you can blow up a whole house in the english countryside and nobody bats an eye.
#Monsterdon is wonderful. It’s a little perfect place for us all. We get to watch something awful and make it better with each other. It’s one of the sweetest little islands of joy I have left. Spending it with all of you. Laughing and honestly having a wonderful Sunday with Good People. It’s lovely. Thank you all!

"Absolutely no critters were harmed in the making of this film!"
Yeah, getting stomped on and exploded is enrichment to critters, known zoological fact. #Monsterdon
THEY JUST LEFT CHARLIE BEHIND???
WHAT EVEN IS THIS CHARACTER ARC????? #Monsterdon
I feel sad for the Yeti. Happy for the dog. Vindicated that the bad guys were crushed in various ways. Deeply disturbed by the scene I will NOT name. So many emotions... I require rest. I return to the glacier now for my long sleep.
Goodnight, monster people!
Oh gawd. What a day to have eyes. #monsterdon
This is a Toho quality score. #monsterdon
This is Chewy. She has a sensitive stomach. #monsterdon
#monsterdon There is no resolution about the C.H.U.D.s living under the city or now prowling above it; nobody and nothing fucks off into the sea, but presumably Cooper and Lauren definitely fuck off into the suburbs. And that's a wreck!
That was _great_ fun. What a treat! Thank you for hosting, @Taweret! Thank you #monsterdon crew for voting for a really fun evening! Good night, see you all next Sunday!
You *do* realize one of the first plot points in Phase IV is how the scientists, who are in a remote outpost in the desert, notice that all of the spiders are gone and there is a strange glowing body in the night sky... Of course how could anyone know with the telescope down...
If you see these things around your camp?... IDK buddy. This is beyond my powers of ant persuasion.
The Frogs DVD splash screen is playing continuous loop of frog noises. Quality! #Monsterdon
The dating scene looks rough in this town. One woman and one gorgon. Sausage fest. There aren't good odds. #monsterdon
She told Bruno she was pregnant. How does everybody else know? Did they find a stone fetus in her?
When is the Evil-lyn movie? #mastersoftheuniverse #monsterdon

Based on the trailer, this one looks like a stinker! Should be a hoot. Good luck, and happy Monsterdon.
I can't get over Mastodon Child not wanting to fit in with the sport people, being vindicated for that, then rising to the moment when everyone else was flailing.
Inspiring, in a cheap B movie way!
#monsterdon "Sir, the piranhas."
"What ABOUT the piranhas?!"
"They're eating the guests, sir."

only gringos go hiking in the middle of nowhere and checking out grock knows what in the dark.
my number 1 take about these movies it’s it involves the kind of people for whom the world is an adventure because violence only happens to others.
In 1983, there was a highly successful miniseries about lizard people secretly coming to earth to steal our water and use us as a protein source. Coincidence! I think not.
Long live V!
OMG that’s the tiniest of miniskirts and she’s got legs for miles.
that cape though…
i love how she is just fucking stunting on them for no reason, she could have just mind controlled all of them immediately and taken one and just chilled while the spaceship healed but she wanted to show this collection of like 5 scottish guys in particular how cool she is #monsterdon
when the movie ends i'm going to make a "devil girl from mars but it's only the devil girl" fan edit #monsterdon
if i was in this movie it would last 5 seconds because my ass wants to get abducted and being abducted by extremely hot latex suit devil girl is just about the best case scenario #monsterdon
Speaking of psychiatrists…
@JoeWynne Katharine Ross also met her first husband on the set. Imagine trying to carry on a romance while filming THIS movie.
That awkward moment when your cousin starts MLMing on Facebook... #monsterdon
#snowbeast PROS
horny subtext is surprisingly interesting
Danger Tuba
includes yetis
sufficient log battles
CONS
75% of it is just skiing and snowmobiling
most of the plot threads are just kind of... there and not all that engaging
Danger Tuba
insufficient yetis
It's very simple. The plot is a Russian Doll structure, only all the dolls are drunk and they hate you. 😂 #monsterdon
This concludes #TheMonolithMonster, a sobering reminder to never water your rocks after midnight, especially if they are evil rocks from space. Thanks to @Taweret@octodon.social for another successful #monsterdon
The most unrealistic part of these movies is watching the US government respond immediately with resolve and competence to threats. They're immediately all over them with overwhelming strength.
I loved Shin Godzilla because it is all about beaurocratic and political deficiency and red tape when our friend the giant radioactive lizard appears.
If we had a giant ant outbreak today, Politicians would be sitting in rooms debating whether there was any upside to them getting involved.
the Dr. Who reference is from the story arc, War Games
@Taweret You just had to go for the 4 for 1 special at Dracula City, didn't you?
The problem with popcorn is you can quickly eat all of it before the movie starts without even noticing...
OMG the guy with the black mustache and glasses looks like the wacky teacher from The Incredibles
This is going to blow all your minds, but I grew up in the 80's, played Tempest (still have the PC port) and my initials are almost right (DKM). This movie is about me!
so #GodzillaMegalon is Full House and Bicentennial Man with a dash of Pokemon and Mazinger Z and a subplot underground Gay Nazis barely springtiming for Megalon. i loved it!
thanks @Taweret@octodon.social @cheribaker @joewynne and all the hot ass mess of monsterdonians for this wonderfully hot ass mess of a movie. this is his how i like to start my week.
YOU MADE GODZILLA BLEED! prepare to die 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡
#Monsterdon also really dig the nobody wins vibe and then the silence. Yes. You all go home now. Think about what you’ve seen. Shriek at the babysitter.
A general rule of thumb is to never accept pills from guys with weird leather half-gloves.
The worst thing about being a pod person is you still have to show up for your job. #Monsterdon
what was the point of Henry Fonda and John Huston?!?!
so this movie was a 2 hour long preamble to this colonialist gay couple finding love and having Orcas become their sea puppies in their next big gay seamen adventure?
...having a beer with my chicken curry, in time for #Monsterdon... cuz am a chicken when it comes to horror movies 🐓
there is not one funny moment in this movie. not one. the creepy let me in, OMG
