@diazona @SRLevine

...what sort of radioactive materials? Like Cs-137, or?

#monsterdon

creep dude is back
#monsterdon

Ah the 80s. When courts could actually stop insane ideas. #monsterdon

@Taweret #monsterdon
There’s clearly no contest.

Mel Brooks a nice town?

#Monsterdon

Ah, so the courts are the problem. They're unable to move their radioactive waste, so it's the courts' fault.

#Monsterdon

Ooohhh this lady was the femme lead in "Brazil" #monsterdon #chud1984

I want to see more subway tunnel scenes #monsterdon

"Murphy. Freelance photographer."

"For a good time cal 555-1616" 😂

#Monsterdon

Moving to the suburbs because NYC is too dangerous? You know who else did that? THE STEPFORD PEOPLE

#Monsterdon

is she suggesting they move to Stepford? #monsterdon

"We'll raise our kids in the sewer just like my father!"

#Monsterdon

"...do you know you were wearing a tail yesterday"
"Well, it was Friday."

#Monsterdon #CHUD

guy is hovering behind Cooper at the park waiting to ask when he's going to rejoin the movie #Monsterdon

That Wet Bandit is a TOTAL BOSS way to tell 'em! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

Oops I just time-traveled back to the scene where Lauren meets pixy-cut lady and I think that might have been the Bechdel pass?

Ugh, because it hasn't been close since then.

sleezy twats! #monsterdon

Call him a pencil dick, I seen it work before #Monsterdon

Thats... more than one there friend....
#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ C.H.U.D.tastic

#Monsterdon

It's the quintessential NYC discussion about where to live when you have kids.

#Monsterdon

@SRLevine Whatever they need to do for that one particular story.

#monsterdon #chud

The big glossy Putin conference table. #Monsterdon

This meeting could have been a redacted memo.
#Monsterdon #CHUD

So do u think they had these guys do a method acting approach of getting annihilated on meth and alcohol the night before shooting the scene #monsterdon #chud1984

Nice picnic cup bro

#Monsterdon

Something hot was moving down there....cats and dogs living together....mass hysteria #Monsterdon

I also can't be held responsible for everything that washes up in the sewer.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

NRC guy's pocket square and tie are exactly the same rust-red color as John's t-shirt and Mrs. Monroe's cardigan from the previous scene.

imagine watching the Oscars when you could be watching a cheesy 80s movie about sewer monsters

#monsterdon

That's the diagnostic

#monsterdon

A.J. is the most reasonable character in this.
So obviously no one will listen to him. #monsterdon

These crabby bureaucrats seem very trustworthy #Monsterdon

Isn't there a TV series called "BOSCH", and don't they say his name like that, a lot?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon The chief of police and the NRC rep feel so greazy. With a z.

This is the popcorn scene - when you go the concessions stand and buy stuff. #monsterdon

@whknott @gortbrown And then you would be legally obligated for the rest of your life to make the joke about the time the 80's called and wanted their music back

#Monsterdon

Must have used up his luck when he found a working payphone.

#Monsterdon

He is a friend. He is the Beastmaster. #monsterdon

He put on a nice shirt over his other shirt because he thought they were going on a date but they're just doing more police shit. #monsterdon

Filmed entirely in and under New York City and at Chud studios

#Monsterdon

I joked about it the first time it happened, but EVERY time they say Chief O'Brien something in my brain makes a comm badge chirping noise. #monsterdon

Ah, the traumatized kid requirement is met. #Monsterdon

I guess this scene set the stage for similar scenes in Armageddon and Independence Day??

#Monsterdon

wet bandit knows his way in
#monsterdon

Damn, is it really that easy to get away with breaking and entering in front of a cop?
#monsterdon

Of course that's the decision they were going to make about their pregnancy but at least they had the right conversation.

#Monsterdon

so many telephones in this movie. there is even one in the foreground as i am typing this #monsterdon

stay safe, stay legal

#monsterdon
#chud1984

Okay, I was wrong about Daniel Stern not being a criminal

#Monsterdon
#CHUD

so everyone in this movie just carries a switch blade. #monsterdon

"This is the lockpicking lawyer, and what I've got for you today is a C.H.U.D"

#Monsterdon

The wet bandit breaking and entering #Monsterdon

(three seconds later) *nuclear physics de-intensifies*

#Monsterdon

Uhh Captain is going downtown!
#monsterdon

Bosch is on the case!
#Monsterdon #CHUD

#Monsterdon
#CHUD

Hey Cooper, what are you, dead? Oops, you are. #Monsterdon

Upbeat electronic keyboard music ensues. You know it's getting real, now.
C.H.U.D. dance-off is imminent.
#Monsterdon

OOOO....80s action music....

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon *cop pulls up* "hey rev, grab your evidence. you're comin' with me"

nooooooooo

@nev That's the way it's pronounced in NYC (not joking) #monsterdon

@nev Relative to what? A fish?

#Monsterdon

the synth music is diagetic. there's a rookie cop off camera playing it

#monsterdon

Well that was a really fast monster attack. Frames too quick to screen cap of the monster of the week.
#Monsterdon #CHUD

I got you... BABE! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

AND the Nuclear Regulatory Commission sent someone to investigate?

@Taweret There is just sooooo little to say about this movie, honestly

#Monsterdon

this really does want to be a prince of darkness crossover

#monsterdon #CHUD

#monsterdon that girl looked more bored than traumatized.

You wanna see a kid actor pull off traumatized? Check out Them! (1954)

@Taweret huh I told my sewer monster I'd be busy tonight, it was all good

#Monsterdon

CHIEF O'BRIEN!?

#monsterdon

Somebody's mommy drank a lot. Did you how far apart that CHUD's eyes were?

#monsterdon #C.H.U.D.

IT'S ON IT'S CHUD TIME :ameowbongo: #Monsterdon

this kid doesn't seem very hysterical to me

#monsterdon

Zombi father. Valid. #Monsterdon

Mom: "somebody needs a manicure...and a dentist too...somebody needs a spa day!"

#monsterdon #chud1984

#Monsterdon

i'm very confused that temu sylvester stallone is still here i thought he'd've broken by now

#monsterdon #CHUD

@brooke WTF?!
#Monsterdon

oh shit: I'd've thought it'd've gone for the child (she's more tender 😜)…

#monsterdon

@Copperplate yeah, Photo Dude kinda redeemed himself with that. He is allowed to survive the film, I guess. #Monsterdon

(C.H.U.D. growling) #monsterdon

This was life before SatNav, Helen Mirren was right to feel sad for Kurt Cobain never living to see it.

Now we have another traumatised child.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon traumatized little girl! is that on the bingo cards?

She's going to spend the rest of the film like the girl from THEM! now, isn't she?

#monsterdon

@moira @Taweret The Oscars are rigged #monsterdon

@moira @Taweret oh wait that's still happening? 😂

#Monsterdon

@Taweret shit no! :ms_eyes: #Monsterdon

#monsterdon this Derek guy is pretty high strung. I mean, it's only his career and reputation on the line. Chill out, m'dude!

Kid like, "Oh. Okay. Bye." #Monsterdon

#monsterdon why did he open the door!?

And that's how Art was killed off in New York
#Monsterdon

You're not lost, you're LUNCH!

#Monsterdon #CHUD

I get the feeling this kid shouldn't be out this late. It IS late, right?

#monsterdon #C.H.U.D.

Kind of a tipsy phone booth

#monsterdon

Tell me the joke because I want to laugh too.

#Monsterdon

Please don't kill the child. PLEASE.
#Monsterdon

Guess he needed to use the phone. #Monsterdon #CHUD
