This week's #Monsterdon pick (which I'm not watching tonight) is a movie I remember seeing in the theatre as a child? I didn't understand it at all at the time and was kind of freaked out by it then, so I've never really given it another try.

What is going on with #Monsterdon

#monsterdon
those are well-machined hinges for 1200BC

TRI-STAR Pictures!
#Monsterdon

ok, acid pool. check
#Monsterdon

Has #monsterdon run Bog (1978) yet? I think it may have as that would explain why my jellyfin random search queued it up last night, at SOME point I'd thought it worth adding 😅 It seems an easy Bingo win!

#monsterdon

poseidon: still drowning
#Monsterdon

wait, wasn't Argos destroyed?
#Monsterdon

Stop-Motion Thing has arrived
#monsterdon

Nope, wrong answer!
Oh well.
THE END
#Monsterdon

getting all dressed up for her date with The Kraken?
#Monsterdon

yay. Time for Stop Motion Comic Relief Owl Droid Thing
#Monsterdon

You'd think all of these buildings would have been NEW back then.
#Monsterdon

now it's time to pick up The Glaive(TM)
oh wait, wrong movie
#Monsterdon

hm. I'm not sure throwing it into the sea is an especially good plan.
#Monsterdon

especially impressive since this was before the invention of the stirrup
#monsterdon

Possibly too extreme for #monsterdon but I expect it was really banned for the bacchanal wine-press scene. A 'coming of age' film for the 'mid-life crisis' folks 😅

hm. non-invisible rope. That may be worth filing a bug report for the helmet
#Monsterdon

"wll guard your life"
gosh, who would ever expect a shield to do **that**?
#monsterdon

gee, thanks Mom. (you'd think the Greeks would have figured this shit out by now...)
#monsterdon

WEWEASE THUH KWACKEN
(maybe somebody should tell A. **not** to watch the battle,...)
#monsterdon

so what's the premise here? Stop-Motion Vluture is stealing Andromeda one piece at a time?
#Monsterdon

Spain, Italy, and Malta.
I guess no actual Greek locations were harmed in the making of this film.
#Monsterdon

lmao.
"who's going to try [the experimental body horror enzyme]? some intern?" "yes!"
#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

"apologize for all of the theatrical effects"
that's rather a lot to apologize for in this film
#Monsterdon

The SS Nisqually has been in service since 1962. Your WA State Ferry System paid for by your tax dollars.
#Monsterdon

even if we can't see 90% of them right now and have to wait for the Arabs to give names to the rest of them
#Monsterdon

"You are handsome and fascinating. And I am still young and stupid"
yeah this relationship is going well
#monsterdon

nice that he gets an entourage of Guys to Help Out with the Rock Climbing.
(guess they should be wearing red shirts)
#Monsterdon

well, that was way too easy.
On the other hand having (Sian Philips's) Livia as your mother-in-law? Not sure that's a win.
#Monsterdon

For those of #monsterdon unfamiliar with the three-headed scary god #Ghidorah, or why the third head is the scariest, an introduction …

#Monsterdon
"I want you in surgery tomorrow..."
umm...
I would think there'd be rules about this?
(then again 1963, maybe not...)

Megalostructures!!
#Monsterdon

DON RICKLES ??
#Monsterdon

wait, so that just ended. whut?
#Monsterdon

as opposed to a permanent headache
#Monsterdon

the go-go dancing is hurting my brain
#Monsterdon

scriptwriter was being paid by the word
#Monsterdon

ooo. I wonder who's SSN that actually is
#Monsterdon

Does Nevada state police even *have* helicopters?
#monsterdon

so weird:
Don Rickles actually Playing a Part.
#Monsterdon

oh, it's serious now:
We can see studs and joists.
#Monsterdon

so weird:
Don Rickles has actual range as an actor.
#Monsterdon

weird: Don Rickles playing an actually-somewhat *major* part
#Monsterdon

"we could stop him"
that would shorten a lot of these movies
#Monsterdon

he's going to get taken out by a TRAIN?
guess that's as good a place as any to end this
#Monsterdon

so the rest of this movie is Dr.X on the run?
(guess if there's no other way to come up with Plot...)
#Monsterdon

still boggled by Don Rickles in a Rare Dramatic Role.
I mean, he's still a ways off from unseating Mary Tyler Moore doing "Ordinary People",
but, man, that was a creditable performance.
