thought the Gorgons were in "Jason and the Argonauts" but it’s "Clash of the Titans" where i first saw them. it’s worse, it has Talos. in the wiki page it says Talos is second to King Kong as one of the best monsters of the Hollywood’s classic era.

guess am making it tonight a double feature in preparation for .

THIS MOVIE silently engages with the problem of gender throughout, where the motivation for the devil girl from mars is having killed all men in a "war of the sexes" which is NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN. the men then display a range of behaviors that provide the SILENT backstory to the war of the sexes - criminality, sealion scientist, being hella annoying, etc. THE ENDING is a very literal tragedy for women, where through sheer bluster and dumb luck men overpower even the hyperintelligent, hyperadvanced women from mars, and then proceed to ignore the deep trauma experienced by the woman standing not feet away from them #monsterdon

Dear , love y'all, even tho I don't participate. Did you know that William Goldman, author and screenwriter of _The Princess Bride_, wrote the script for "The Stepford Wives"?

It's true. And, in the book _The Princess Bride_, he is in LA doing re-writes for "The Stepford Wives" when he first orders S. Morgenstern's classic for his ten-year-old son.

(You would only know this if you'd read the novel, which, frankly, you should do, as it is richer and more amazing than the movie.)

Little Shop Rules

You can’t just be up there and just doin’ a wrong Little Shop like that.

1a.A *Little Shop of Horrors is when you

1b. Okay, well listen. A Little Shop of Horrors is when you shop the-

Let me start over.

We are watching the 1960 version.
The one with Jack Nicholson and zero songs.
You can't come in here expecting a plant to sing "Feed Me Seymour!"
1c-b.

Once you're in the #Monsterdon, you can’t be over here like,

I’m gonna quote the entire ‘Dentist!’ number, watch this!” and then act like you didn’t do a wrong *Little Shop.*

1c-b(1).

If you’re watching a Little Shop, and there’s suddenly music?
You did a wrong Little Shop.
You have to do the no music version.
You cannot not do the right version.

1c-b(2).

You gotta be, watching the 1960 version,
and then, until you just finish it.
No Frank Oz, no Rick Moranis, no giant puppet with vocal range.

1c-b(2)-a.

Okay, well, you can have the musical in your heart, like,
"Suddenly Seymour" is in there,
but then there’s the Wrong Little Shop you gotta think about.

1c-b(2)-b.

Roger Corman made this movie in two days on a dare
and there’s a guy who eats flowers
and it ends kind of just ending

-1c-b(2)-b(i).

Oh wait, Jack Nicholson is in it.
Briefly.
As a pain freak.
It’s weird.
1c-b(2)-b(ii).
“I always wanted a long, slow root canal!”– Jack Nicholson, 1960Haha, classic…

1c-b(3).

Okay seriously though.
The 1960 Little Shop of Horrors is not the one you think it is unless you’re thinking:
low-budget, black-and-white, no music, flower-munchin’ freak show.
And that’s what we’re watching.

 Do not do a wrong Little Shop please.

I’m glad finally got me to watch Forbidden Planet. It would have been so much better without the shoehorned-in love story and the sexism and the “comic relief” drinking, but it appears to be one of the great granddaddies of all sci-fi.

I've said this before, but I'mo re-up it.

I love monsterdon nights, even tho I don't participate.

I don't have to love everything that people do to love the simple fact that they do it, and in doing it form community.

Keep it up, my friends!

Your supporters are legion. Maybe . . . *too* legion . . .

another way establishes a language for monster and kaiju movies is thru sound. the sound engineering in this movie is absolutely ahead of its time; but what's awesome is that it's founded in Japanese drumming and theater traditions. so the innovation for film is a throwback to Japanese classical culture.

Following my feed must be a confusing experience. It’s like, “Pretty sunset and bird pictures, nice. Oh, there’s Benny Beagle. Cute! … And now here comes a pig-pile pile of dozens of comments about a terrible movie. WTF?”

To those who didn’t experience the joy and beauty of “Hercules” (1984) and “Hercules II” (1985) I offer as apology this photo of sandhill cranes flying into the sunset.

Folks it's the end of the year and that means it's time to look back at the movies we've watched on #Monsterdon this year. This is gonna be a long thread, so feel free to mute it if you want.

After we're done looking back, I'll ask for nominations for which film we watched this year was the Best, the Worst, and the Most Fun Monsterdon movie! So let's get started :D

Ronald Reagan was a terrible president who fucked up the country on a generational scale, but the more we watch these 70s (and adjacent) movies where everyone is just kind of horrible and sleazy, the more I can understand how he got elected.

Dear , I confess that I have done something silly.

I made a MEGA Monsterdon bingo card with 270+ tropes from dozens of movies. It's a hot mess and probably unwinnable. 😅

You can find the MEGA card on our bingo archive website, along with cards from past movies. 👇

Ha! If anyone wins this, I'd be impressed.

Frogs (1972) Viewing Rules:

You can't just be up there and just doin’ a wrong Frogs like that.

1a. Frogs is when you
1b. Okay well listen. Frogs is when the frogs, they
1c. Let me start over

1c-a. The movie Frogs (1972) is on Pluto, and not on Tubi. But there is a wrong Frogs on Tubi. You can’t just go on Tubi and say, “Hey Frogs,” and then just watch whatever frog happens to be there

1c-b. Once you are in the Tubi app, you can’t be over here and say to yourself, “Yeah, this is probably the Frogs I want.” No. That’s a different Frogs.

1c-b(1). Like, if you’re about to watch Frogs and then you watch the wrong Frogs, you have to still watch the right Frogs. You cannot not watch the right Frogs. Does that make any sense?

1c-b(2). You gotta be, opening Pluto TV, searching for Frogs (1972), and then, until you just watch Frogs (1972).*

1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can search Frogs on Tubi, like this, but then there’s the wrong Frogs you gotta think about.

1c-b(2)-b. Ray Milland hasn’t been in any movies in forever. I hope he wasn’t typecast as “grumpy guy who hates the environment.”

1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, he was in The Thing with Two Heads! That would be even worse.

1c-b(2)-b(ii). “It’s time for the animals to take revenge.” – Frogs (1972). Haha, classic…

1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. The correct Frogs is on Pluto, not Tubi. If you go to Tubi, you will be watching the wrong Frogs.

Do not do a wrong Frogs please

so, this movie is supposed to take place in 1910? so that's the end of the Edwardian era, that post-Victorian intermezzo prior to the WW1.

i've been kinda obsessed with this period, right up to 1939. 1925 was fucking wild, by the way.

anyways, 1910 and the Edwardian era are, for all intents and purposes, the official end of Queen Victoria's reign of conservative terror; and marks the beginning of the end of the House of Hapsburg.

it's fascinating.

New instance, new #introduction

Hi, hey, hello!

My previous instance (since '23) is going through a(nother) wave of uncertainty and I felt it time to seek a new home.

I'm a newly retired, life-long nerd and maker. I'm liberal as f*ck and pretty queer across multiple spectrums.

I mostly boost silly, snarky, and/or cute things, along with the occasional "I can't believe this shit" political toot.

A warning though, I often (though not always) participate in #monsterdon - be ascared!

It’s #boardgames today and we are trying “Monster Horrified”. It’s a cooperative game where you basically all do a #monsterdon film. We select random monsters to fight, random archetype characters, and try to kill the monsters before they kill us or the innocent civilians.

We fought

DraculaThe Creature from the Black LagoonThe Invisible Man

We were

ScientistExplorerMayorProfessorCourier

We haven’t won or lost yet. I have been particularly inconsequential. Although I did kill Dracula I have mostly been fang fodder.

This #monsterdon was a remake of a BBC teleplay that was broadcast live and never recorded.

I wish we could reach back into the past and watch those old broadcasts.

The BBC also did a live version of H.G. Well's "The Time Machine" that was supposedly really good, but no recording was made, so who knows.
