Folks it is 8pm and that means there's only ONE MORE HOUR until #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! If you want to avoid it, set up a filter now!
If you'd like to join in, this week we're watching BEYOND ATLANTIS (1973), a trashy flick about very stupid mobsters attempting to exploit Atlantean natives, who are also fish people.
No, seriously. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's on Tubi or YouTube over here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znou6m2-Cbg
See you at 9!
Ladies and gentlemen I'd like to thank you for flying air #Monsterdon we will be taking off in roughly ten minutes and I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you to set up a hashtag filter if you'd like to avoid our festivities tonight.
If you're joining in now's a good time to get the movie cued up and get your snacks ready as we WILL be lifting off very shortly here. Thank you again for joining us tonight and we hope you have a great flight.
Listen, I've seen tonight's film before but I guarantee that's not gonna prevent me from screaming with incredulity at several points this evening. It's that bad of a film. #Monsterdon
TURN DOWN YOUR LIGHTS
(where applicable)
And we open with the Beach That Makes You Old. :/ #Monsterdon
BEYOND ATLANTIS
"Shit, we gotta go back." #Monsterdon
Not so much a catamaran as a Can't-amaran. #Monsterdon
She's very confused by the opening credits. Which, hey, fair. #Monsterdon
And now, the reason this film was made. #Monsterdon
Beard's pretty spirit gummy. #Monsterdon
Pretty good shot for a man with ping-pong balls over his eyes. #Monsterdon
Scene Two: Camera pans onto a pimp. ENGAGE THE CLASSY MUSIC #Monsterdon
Oh great, we found Eddie Deezen. Again. #Monsterdon
"HE'S DEAD"
Yeah no shit, I got that far >_> #Monsterdon
Man don't get buddy-buddy with the pimp, that's not gonna end well. :/ #Monsterdon
For completeness's sake, they put a ping-pong ball on his head, too. #Monsterdon
HARDLY ANY ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS FILM #Monsterdon
"We don't need him!"
Nobody needs YOU man but here you are. #Monsterdon
Aaaaand the pimp giggles like a clown #Monsterdon
We are at male perm overload here, folks. #Monsterdon
"Deal?"
Sure, I'm a skeezy scumbag, that's great #Monsterdon
"~well ♪hello~"
Ew. :/ #Monsterdon
There goes their antique door, poor guys :/ #Monsterdon
*Seriously* an unironic purse slap, jesus christ #Monsterdon
Suddenly the soundtrack becomes a synthesizer stereotype of China. #Monsterdon
baaaaaaaaaarf #Monsterdon
"All right, all right, we can have gross nasty 70's white people sex, but THEN we do science." #Monsterdon
"Joy-boy"? I do not at all believe that about him. #Monsterdon
A THREE-HOUR TOUR #Monsterdon
I'm kind of regretting getting a new TV now. This thing has really good color expression and it's starting to burn the eyes a little bit. #Monsterdon
That ANIMAL, he's FLAILING in the poor man's general direction! Knocking him over with air pressure! #Monsterdon
"If we get the gear out fast-!"
The film could finish early! Get to it! #Monsterdon
Augh, jesus, don't jumpcut in the middle like that, christ D: #Monsterdon
DEAR COMPOSER
PICK A GODDAMN GENRE
...Did this guy just invent Noisecore fifty years early? #Monsterdon
Aaaaand we're done, okay, apparently that was everything the composer had and he's done now. #Monsterdon
AND HE'S DEAD, hooray! #Monsterdon
aaaaand back to the underwater ballet for no real reason. Someone with ADHD edited this film. #Monsterdon
Here's a butt! For you! In the middle of your screen! #Monsterdon
Whoops, got a little bike rack there :3 #Monsterdon
A MOTHERCRABBING TRAP? #Monsterdon
So how come the soundtrack is in stereo and the rest of the film isn't? #Monsterdon
...And why is it playing over the dialogue? #Monsterdon
Oh that is *entirely* too much fishman buffalo shot :/ #Monsterdon
I'm not sure I understand the purpose of a fur bikini for swimming. #Monsterdon
We GET IT
She's PLANTING PEARLS
Can we MOVE ON or do you have more RACHMANNINOV TO PLAY FOR US #Monsterdon
The edited bits of this soundtrack is *unbelievably hilarious* :D #Monsterdon
Shot on screen: Slowly picking pearls out of clams
The soundtrack: OONTZ OONTZ OONTZ MATRIX MATRIX MATRIX #Monsterdon
The goat's the best character so far. #Monsterdon
@CactuarJoe He is - it's called "fuck all"
