Hey it's a dry bandit.
#Monsterdon #CHUD

LOOK WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT THIS BEING IN THE SAME UNIVERSE AS HOME ALONE THERE IS THE WET BANDIT RIGHT THERE #Monsterdon

Ah, fresh-faced Daniel Stern, before he turned to crime

#Monsterdon
#CHUD

The desk-job cop guy has a very intense "I've seen this guy in that other movie with the other guy and the thing" face

#Monsterdon

Realizing now we have two future Home Alone alums.

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

@SRLevine @socketwench aw that's nowhere near as fun

#Monsterdon

whoever or whatever a CHUD is better get on eating or mind controlling or turning inside out all of the principals STAT #monsterdon

We start with some orange drank chugger, then at a litte eau de urine, voila, New York perfume.

#Monsterdon

A little strange you say?

#Monsterdon

@diazona @socketwench No, it's the idea of airports all being in the same alternate dimension, planes are in ours, clearly.

#Monsterdon

See, back in the old days, two people living together would have the same phone number.

#monsterdon #chud

@70sgayspaceangel That's pretty much advertising in a nutshell!

#Monsterdon

If this film had been made ten years later, this guy would have had a mobile phone the size of a shoebox lodged in his ear. #Monsterdon

Ah yeah, remember when you could retrieve your messages remotely by beeping over the phone? Dang. Answer-phones had that. I have one of them I need to restore still.

#Monsterdon

Ok I'm not sure I like any of the male characters in this movie yet.

#Monsterdon

This is why you don't bring your embittered photographer boyfriend to your naked perfume shoots, come on Lauren, FIGURE IT OUT

#Monsterdon
#CHUD

What am I saying. It's the 80's of COURSE everyone is a Ass for no reason. #Monsterdon #CHUD

I 100% guarantee the people who made/formulated the perfume are not the ones in that studio...

(and I cram in a T Kingfisher reference to Paladin's Hope with perfumers here? oh yeah...)

#Monsterdon

I hate this guy.

#Monsterdon

See, when it is actually nothing wrong, then he says there is something wrong. #monsterdon

@Lazarou But phones came in cool colors! #Monsterdon

So...he's the monster, right?

Please?

#monsterdon

looks like the same set as the police station, just the other side of the room...

#Monsterdon

CHUDs versus the editor of AdBusters #monsterdon

DUMP HIS ASS

#monsterdon

@SRLevine @socketwench omg what

(side thought: does it count if all airports are connected by airplanes)

#Monsterdon

Are we about to see a breakout?

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

Sheep shit? I assure you, this perfume is made with whale vomit!

#Monsterdon #CHUD

Sam McMurray, the "Hey! It's that guy!" of this flick

#Monsterdon #CHUD

Dude, just take the fucking pictures and make the fucking money for her.

#Monsterdon

helpless little field mouse. okay, he's an asshole, and i will be sad when he turns out not to have been CHUDed by the end of the movie, but that was funny. #monsterdon

Isn't this an old camera even for 1984?
#monsterdon

BASTA!

#monsterdon #CHUD

@wohali From Chuggers to CHUD. Short trip. #Monsterdon #CHUD

this movie is full of actors I vaguely recognize and can't quite place

#monsterdon

"Y'look like a million bucks, which is about twenty times this film's budget" #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon ah the glamor of fashion

@socketwench Is this like the theory all airports are connected and you have to make sure you are thinking about entering/exiting the correct door to not accidentally travel between them?

(similar to hotel hallways)

#Monsterdon

"George, you wanna blow this job for me?" 👀

#Monsterdon

I like the waifish woman with the short gray hair. I like her dress. She's cute. #monsterdon

@Taweret he's definitely one of those guys, he was in a Sopranos episode I watched recently as Junior's doctor #monsterdon

That’s not a mug shot!

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

Is this Blow Up or CHUD?!?!? #monsterdon

this is cheap even for temu sylvester stalone

#monsterdon #CHUD

Bosch is the most passive-aggressive movie cop I've ever seen. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

This cop, Bosch, is gonna shoot himself in the man bits the way he's carrying this pistol

The cop in blue is the SWINGER DUDE from RAising Arizona. #monsterdon

Oh that guy plays arsehole neighbours in movies and sitcoms!

#monsterdon

It's Pa Kent!

#Monsterdon

Did that guy just pronounce "Houston" "house-ton"?

#Monsterdon

I feel like Conan O'Brien would rather be watching C.H.U.D. with us than hosting the Oscars

#Monsterdon

Chief O'Brien looks very different. Where is his Star Trek uniform? Is he undercover?

(Because that's what I'd do with my engineering officers. I'd put them undercover. Yeah.)

#Monsterdon

Blotter! I know what that word means! My decade working in newspapers finally yields results. #monsterdon

this was murph after the blues brothers but before the magitones

#monsterdon #CHUD

'Yessir, Lieutenant ’Seventies-Edgar-Allen-Poe!'

EDIT:
(Sorry, that should have been 'Captain'.)

#monsterdon

@Zerofactorial such strange, joyless people.... #monsterdon

I know this guy but idk from what

#monsterdon

Can we follow the lady in the babushka's story instead?

#monsterdon

this is one nice and happy precint
#monsterdon

good location set .I wonder where they actually filmed it.

#Monsterdon

Is this another one of those movies where everyone is a total Ass for no reason? #Monsterdon #CHUD

OHHHHH the Kirby case. Sounded like "what about the carbeque?"

#Monsterdon

"Run down the blotter, Samson, and don't smash any temples while you're at it"
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

Chief Obrien is def. gonna be clueless - he has one of those little American flag lapel pins that all the pols started to wear about that time

#monsterdon Dammit, namechecked already.

You young people don't remember it but back in the 80's NYC was a very dangerous place because of all the cannibals. They really exploited rent control. It was a whole thing. Getting "mugged" was just cultural code for "getting pulled off the sidewalk into subterranean depths by cannibals".

#Monsterdon
#CHUD

Uh oh. Bosses, am I right?

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

conspriacy to keep a lid on it. What a novel idea.

#monsterdon
#chud1984

this guy is also good in Sneakers #monsterdon

Murphy? At a police station? Is this a secret Robocop prequel?
#Monsterdon #CHUD

And we're done, bish bash Bosche. #Monsterdon

Beam me outta here Chief O'Brien

#Monsterdon

ten minutes, five of which have been spent on various phone-related devices. CHUD was written by an ex-telephone operator? #monsterdon

Chief O'Brien?!? Is he gonna fix the EPS conduits? #monsterdon

You're not Chief O'Brien! Who are you, and what have you done with the Chief!

#Monsterdon #CHUD

the problem with opening on a monster kill is this now all feels glacial #monsterdon

@diazona but does it take place before or after Regan emptied the asylums and threw them (and the Vietnam Vets) on the streets?

#USPol #Monsterdon

A commentary on the general population's disdain for the homeless? The CHUDs go unnoticed because they feed on people who no one cares about?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon o'brien must suffer

I think his name might be Bosch. How many times have they said it???

#Monsterdon

Chekhov's Chief (demands a loose cannon's gun and badge in the third act)

#monsterdon

Heavy scratching on the underside of a trap door in the basement? Probably nothing. #monsterdon

"This is Captain Bosch, they're putting the ki-me on it." #Monsterdon

O'Brien!?

#monsterdon

CLARK!

Why haven't you called? Don't you know your mother worries?

#monsterdon #CHUD

#Monsterdon

Aw man, gritty 80s NYC is such a brilliant film setting. (Not you Godfather part III, sit down)

#Monsterdon the police guy always makes me think of the fellow who was on a naughty magazine I found at home when I was a kid. Discovered much that day. LOL.

Chief Obrien?

#monsterdon

Cops!
ACAB
#monsterdon

I guess it's a much shorter movie if people react to things the way a New Yorker would (cross the street, turn podcast volume louder) #monsterdon

Nice C.H.U.D.stache, detective

#Monsterdon

Lady, I'd be running like scooby doo if those boxes jumped on me
#monsterdon

@hollie
Ohgod, so glad to see this warning. I need a fun diversion tonight. 🥴

#Monsterdon

So I didn't plan ahead very much but can I watch CHUD in Canada? I found a German version on YouTube....with no subtitles. #Monsterdon Bud the chuds avaliable at least.

Hey, it's not Simon Pegg and not Nick Frost as cops!

#Monsterdon

We have blood! We have indistinct growling! It's only nine minutes in! This is blazing fast compared to some of our movies.

#Monsterdon #CHUD

I'm running late, but I did enjoy a how the movie opened on a death before the opening credit roll..

#monsterdon #C.H.U.D.

That seems like a good hint to get out of dodge. #monsterdon

CHUD HOLE CHUD HOLE
