My wife closed the film by saying to the child “See, the takeaway is that anyone can make a movie, and when you think you’re not good enough just remember this”

starts with a nice scene of water, and tells us that it is produced by "Ovidio Assonitis", which is a name that I would blurt out if asked to name an imaginary Roman Senator.

After then staring at a radio, we then get to look at the ocean more and a sign tells us that a Yacht Race is impending. Since this film dates from the era of vague social democracy, I'm assuming these are normal sailboats instead of billionaire megayachts.

In conclusion, was weird, and now I want to watch an aquatic version of the X-Philes that centers on the mysteries of the sea and relies on whales to resolve most of the story problems.

Anyway, thanks to @Taweret@octodon.social for hosting another !

this was the kind of bad i needed this week. still thinking about that hipster-sounding opening music. i take it back, it wasn't REM it was BECK i should have said was emoting during the opening credits. like, a BECK with early DAFT PUNK collaboration. and yet the movie sucked. hard. like a giant octopus *snort*

thank you @Taweret@octodon.social and the rest of the monsterdonian gang. it was fun!

am thinking about what could have led to all these underwater movies after Jaws, and i always forget how popular Jacques Cousteau was in the 1970s. grew up watching his specials.
