I've got a Walther. I got it because it's the gun that killed Hitler, and I like that. Mine's the .22 version. The ammo is really easy to get.

#monsterdon

"Get me Chief O'Brien. All the replicators on the promenade are only producing plomeek."

#Monsterdon #CHUD

Can easily believe a NY cop would mock a traumatised child within ear shot

#monsterdon

synth music picking up so you know this is serious

#monsterdon

Gonna need a lot of therapy for that kid. #monsterdon

"They mostly come out at night. Mostly." #Monsterdon #CHUD

we have CLAW!! #monsterdon

Okay, that phone booth sequence was great, no notes

#Monsterdon

you just got chudded

#monsterdon

i'm not sure i trust these two with a child. #monsterdon

It never goes well in horror movies.
#Monsterdon #CHUD

#Monsterdon ah, 80s movies/shows tryna avoid the word "abortion." #Monsterdon

In nine months, she's going to give birth to a healthy bottle of bad perfume #Monsterdon

"You're gonna have a baby?" No, I'm just pregnant. #Monsterdon

We have ROAR! 😀
#Monsterdon

radioactive monsters in tunnels, yep, this is SCP-adjacent

#monsterdon

:bing: how girlfriend get gregnant

#Monsterdon

[intense beeping]

#monsterdon

#monsterdon FLashlights sure sucked in the olden days.

How did people live before LEDs were invented?

There's your Talking Heads reference.

#monsterdon

I think as they've humanised the Cop, he might die first....

#monsterdon

Well, now the idea of a routine EPA probe is just going to make us feel nostalgic. 😥

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

So he called the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, as one does.

You used to be a nuclear physicist and now you run a soup kitchen?!

.....actually, respect.

#monsterdon

"This ain't no Disco." This IS, however, some Foolin' Around. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon This aint no foolin around.

Oh, the EPA inspection is where some of the trailer had an SCP vibe.

#monsterdon

Ah, remember the EPA? Good times.

Watching this film in 2025 😬

#Monsterdon

Is this another 80s movie where the EPA is the baddie?

It truly is Ghostbusters, will they find a river of slime down there?

#monsterdon

ough grisly #monsterdon

Let's send in Snake Plissken!

#Monsterdon

@MindTGap Thats why I never enter a #monsterdon hungry 😄

#monsterdon his WIFE?!

Oh that's gangrenous. Gotta saw that off.

#monsterdon

Ugh, don't humanise the Cop character, this is Mastodon...

#monsterdon

"that doesn't wash, Bosch" fuckin gottem #monsterdon

"Doesn't wash, bosh."

Neither do you, dude.

#monsterdon

"Doesn't wash, Bosch!" Go mosh, you posh frosh! #Monsterdon

Daniel Stern is the only morally acceptable character in this movie.

#monsterdon #chud

Pesci Pesci?
#Monsterdon #CHUD

Is this a prequel? Are we going to learn how the Wet Bandits formed?

#monsterdon

Oh that's getting infected. #monsterdon

@strangefour It does with autocorrect:
Cooper hunting ugly duckers :)
#monsterdon

Ow. Just ow.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I can't decide if I like this photographer guy or not. He keeps swinging back and forth from complete asshole to defender of the unhoused.

No freakin' way I'd go into an underground hobo jungle without my gun.

#monsterdon

Dude has spent more time not taking pictures than taking pictures

#monsterdon

Also no one is allowed to share that I watched that show religiously as a teenager

WHAT HAPPENS AT #MONSTERDON STAYS AT MONSTERDON

Oh, I remember those red plastic flashlights.

#monsterdon

I have a gun.

#monsterdon

Uh Oh. Danger Synth. #Monsterdon #CHUD

Seriously, I have dealt with knife wielding meth heads like that. It's part of the job. References to Revelations and all.

#monsterdon

Ah yes, Gog and Magog. Them again!

#Monsterdon

Oh, spontaneous knife...
#Monsterdon

Oh that guy definitely looks homeless. We get tweakers like that at the shelter all the time.

#monsterdon

ngl whoever's playing this Undergrounder is _working it_.

#monsterdon #CHUD

knife guy said ACAB, all cops are BowieTargets #monsterdon

"You go by the name of being alive! And you are dead! They have the power to shut the sky!"

Excellent dialogue, no notes.

#Monsterdon

I think this movie is a trope for Reagan's refusal to do anything about homelessness.

#Monsterdon

Val is amazing. this is what i will be in four years' time. GOG AND MAGOG! I KNOW YOUR WORK. #monsterdon

That guy was in Home Alone.

#monsterdon

Totally feeling the Prince of Darkness vibe now #monsterdon @lorgonumputz

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

Ohhhhh, THAT Daniel Stern!

#monsterdon

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

#monsterdon #chud

@brooke This whole movie is an attitude problem

and I am here for it

#Monsterdon

Man, he's such a wonderful partner. You can really see what she likes about him >_> #Monsterdon

That guy was in Raising Arizona.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon this guy has an attitude problem

Lol, are the NY City government and Police in league to cover things up? Say it ain't so....such a honest town....such excellent mayors..../s

#monsterdon

Fun fact: they originally planned to call this C.H.U.B. but it was rejected by the MPAA. #Monsterdon

"Look, the DA is busting my ass..."

I always look for a line like this in an American movie

#monsterdon

Is everybody's stuff just stored in the basement because that's pretty cool for a rental place.....

"Millennial Life"

#monsterdon

Is this one of those underground films? #monsterdon

(indistinct growling)

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon i do *not* miss incandescent bulbs always burning out

Always cracks me up that Petersen thought of himself as an action hero type leading man

#monsterdon

So now we know where the random single shoes in the streets come from..... #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow I think it's "Elon"

#Monsterdon

Fried hair - so 80s! #monsterdon

@diazona they understood the assignment #monsterdon

At the time of this movie Ed Koch was mayor of NYC #monsterdon

I spare no one the agony of a cute little message.

#Monsterdon

extreme nostalgia for film cameras just onw.

also how creepy is that

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I'm calling bullshit on this movie having an editor.

It's New York, we don't have time to waste!
#monsterdon

The woman too, I see.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon arrr arr! And the little dog too! What a start!

lol, first victim....

#monsterdon

@Cherizilla @CactuarJoe mad, isn't it? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

Thank you, #Monsterdonians, for a fun show and lots of laughs! And as always thanks to @Cherizilla for bingo and @Taweret for hosting

watch out for the CHUD, everyone!

the sound track is great, this droning is fantastic

#Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial So far about 2300 posts (https://monsterdon-replay.gerlach.dev/c-h-u-d), with the average this year being 2800 for the main feature. Not bad. #monsterdon

@ohiofi Apparently that was an April Fools joke by Criterion. Boo. https://chud.com/45898/were-getting-criterioned/ #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I believe I watched an alternate version of C.H.U.D. in 1985 (or 86). I saw two differences: first, when Lauren cries for help at the apartment window, somebody screams back "call the Ghostbusters!". The other one is a scene showing some surviving CHUDs walking down a street, and the movies credit starts rolling. Is my memory playing tricks on me?

Anyway, great Monsterdon pick!

@whknott @SordidAmok Hand sanitizer was unknown, for God's sake #monsterdon

I love these characterizations. They're goofy, but quite believeable in this movie's fiction.

Anyway, A.J. is walking around in a basement. I'm sure he'll be fine, though.

#Monsterdon

I would never shove my Walther down my pants.

#monsterdon

@SordidAmok Something to put on the bingo card perhaps? @Cherizilla

#Monsterdon

That was a #Monsterdon!

Thanks @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for compiling the Bingo, and everyone else for the fun!

Cheers!
