It's time for the golden fleecing! Go! Go! Go!

Ah, now that's good period orchestration! Get those titles done with quick and jump right into the film!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Behold! The man with one sandal!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

That famous old Greek tune, Greensleeves.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

So, the old soothsayer was Hermes all along.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

And for the third movie in a row ... here's Hercules!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

See, this is why there are humans. To keep the Gods entertained.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Argo gets a bit familiar with the budt of Hera.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Dangit, *bust* of Hera.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

"... three sips a day ..."

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

*now* Hera tells Jason it was Pelias he met.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

"Listen very carefully." I will tell you only once.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Yes, please, show us more old man nipples.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

"Goats? What do you want with goats aboard ship?"

*coughs*

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Holy moly, look at those pearls! (or, alien eggs)

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Gee, didn't Starcrash rip this bit off?

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Three assists done, if I counted right :)

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

There's one whole side that's open, not covered by the net.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

The Argo is just sailing back and forth in the same small (actual) area, isn't it.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Convenient story-needed NPC ship ahoy!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

By Poseidon's hairy armpit!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Well, by Poseidon's shaved armpit!

The tail was a nice touch, though.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

"What that girl done to you! I thought you were a fighting man!"

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

OK, so the foley sword work is a bit weak.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

We are now in out semi-erotic interpretative dance portion of the film.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

What is this (literally) limp-wristed walk that Jason is giving us?

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

You can't just waltz in and takew the golden fleece!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

The hydra's not very big. And it's very quiet.

Needs more.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

You touched it, and the magic is gone.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Oh yeah, pull out that arrow.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Why do you hold your shield with the bird upside down?

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Now for the money shot :)

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

And ... THE END. Somehow think Hera is less than pleased with Jason, though.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Still an excellent film, if a bit of a tease for a sequel to resolve the story that never came.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Big thanks to @Taweret for tonight's Harryhausen classic; the skeleton fight still sets the blood to racing.

No smoking (duh), no coffee (duh).
Heavy on the sausage fest. Maybe fewer bald old man titties (I can look in a mirror for that). Poseidon's hairless armpits, up close and personal.
The finest knitted hats/helmets.
Exotic healing flower.
Bronze guardian golem. Wimpy hydra guardian. Screechy harpies. Coordinated skeleton fighters.
And a golden fleece in a dead tree (thought it healed everything).

And, that was only half the story!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

@YsengrinWolf @Taweret You weren’t looking very close at those pits. There was hair. Not a lot, but it was there.
