Need something to cleanse your palate? Earth Girls Are Easy is coming up on https://miru.miyaku.media/

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

Enough. Enough. Why won't this movie end. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌌👽 🛸🫣 ⁉️ 👨‍⚕️ 😱

somehow they made Walken boring.

Oh well.

Thanks for hosting, @Taweret; and for bingo, @cherizilla; and for trivia, @JoeWynne

but most importantly, thank all you #Monsterdonians for making it fun

@Louisa Ah, to be yuppies in the 80s.

#Monsterdon

I did not get clarity on anything that occurred in that movie, including the ending.
#Monsterdon

Alright, Monsterdonners, that was a movie. My life is 110% weirder because of y’all

See you next week

#Monsterdon

ugh, what an absolute waste of every single person's time. when aliens actually do come to earth, i'm gonna show them this movie, and the entire galaxy is gonna treat us like our planet has the plague. this movie is so bad it had tainted humanity.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #Communion_1989

Fuckin' A. I forgot how long this ending was and how you pray for death before the end. The aliens fucked off into space and we ended up in 35 random locations at the end.

Thank you, @Taweret, @Cherizilla , @JoeWynne , and everyone else involved in the probing.

but i think the overall story where his and then both his and his wife's beliefs about what happened and what's true change over time as they like... learn to keep living and cope, spend some time possibly getting false memories from hypnosis, and figure out how to repair their relationship; it's just very INTERESTING the way they come to think the aliens are maybe positive after all. making peace with it all etc.

#monsterdon

@catzilla@toot.cat Because he took the alien "gods" into his body (in the form of a rectal probe)

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

#monsterdon FUN FACT: the Flock of Seagulls song "I Ran" is about an alien abduction

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIpfWORQWhU

I don't know what I just watched, but it was somewhere between really good and really bad. I am going to feel creeped out for at least a week, if not more.

#Monsterdon

One could cut this movie down to 90 minutes without losing anything EASY #monsterdon #communion

#monsterdon Knock knock, almond eyed guitar riff… twoing…

Shout out to Praying Mantis girl.

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiku #Communion1989

Basically Eyes Wide Shut but the rich guys are aliens. #Monsterdon #Communion1989

well, i'm glad for the striebers, because i certainly am not living anywhere after this movie. i have died. ⚰️

#monsterdon #Communion1989

FUCKING FINALLY THERE ARE END CREDITS

or are there?

WE GONNA GET AN ALIEN HEAD IN THESE TOO? HUH?

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

This movie has been about a man writing a book about bullshit sleep paralysis buttstuff parties that you don't get invited to. #Monsterdon #Communion1989

FINALLY #monsterdon #communion

Let me pitch you a movie idea: Ghost, but with aliens.

#Monsterdon

How is it not over yet? We aren't gonna get a denouement. This is just boring randomness.
#Monsterdon #Communion

We did it, gang! We made it through together!

Back to my taxes... have a great night and please, everyone, thank @Taweret for organising and running #monsterdon each and every week, she's the best.

#monsterdon the emotional arc of the relationship would probably work better if it didn't oscillate between every scene from "our life together, and support for one another and our child, is crumbling" and "we're fun sexy urbanites who do silly voices and make out in art galleries"

Don't let the door close it'll lock behind us!
Oh well, I guess we live on the roof now.
#Monsterdon

Oh god he's going to have a flashback and the movie is going to start all over! #Monsterdon #Communion

Psych! Movie's still going. #Monsterdon #Communion

how is it still going

#monsterdon

This movie could really use an abrupt ending.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

What you're doing is getting an angry letter from the Super.

#Monsterdon

I hope there’s an extended directors cut #Monsterdon

It’s NYC a huge light could have been literally anything go back to bed #monsterdon #communion1989

"I'm writing the screenplay that we're acting right now."

"Now? You're writing me saying this now?"

"Yes, see. Right there on my monitor. And then what I'm saying."

"You're writing the screenplay in real time?"

"Yes!"

"You're going back to therapy." #Monsterdon #Communion1989

@diazona It's a good #monsterdon when this image can be used to depict my state of mind.

I am more than a little disturbed by the messages that are being given here.

You get abducted and physically violated, and roofied.

But on reencounter you have a conversation and do some dance moves, and it is all OK.

Because that all sounds extremely suss to me. Even as a guy.

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

The book offers quite a bit of introspection. This weird art museum dialog doesn’t do it justice. #Monsterdon

Aliens are back and they want their 20% cut of the book and movie royalties!
#monsterdon

Is this not over yet? I think we’ve had too much denouement. It’s more denouement than I want.

#Monsterdon

how in the fuck is that kid sleeping like that is he a cat or something
#monsterdon

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #Communion_1989

This movie is just gonna restart and we'll never reach the end. We are in some kinda Cthulhu dimension.

END ALREADY!

#monsterdon #Communion1989

it's magazine writing.

#monsterdon

Him sitting down to write better be the ending.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

"I'm gonna drop that book. There were too many characters having organic development.
I'm going to write boring trite self-indulgent speeches and put them in our mouths and claim it's autobiographical."

#Monsterdon #Communion

"I'm gonna write the great american novel about getting probed up the butt!"

#Monsterdon

Gonna start wearing a posting hat for #Monsterdon

With that we learned don’t live with writers #Monsterdon

Walken finally got The Story

IT TOOK ALL THIS TO CLEAR THE WRITER'S BLOCK

#monsterdon

Yes yes, faith restored. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Flo from progressive is the alien's leader?

Why everything needs to be god? It's such a lazy answer #monsterdon #communion

🎼️ "What if God was one of us, just an anal probing one of us?"

#Monsterdon

Yes, the best way of creating a piece of art is to have your characters just give a straight-to-camera monologue of your author's bizarre manifesto.

#Monsterdon #Communion

this ending is fucking exhausting, the contractual obligations to the rights to the book fulfilled blah blah blah #monsterdon

"What does it matter? It doesn't matter." Cue the slap bass. Is this a Seinfeld episode

#Monsterdon

"They said I was chosen, I had a feeling all along!"

Yeah yeah, we're all the heroes of our own stories, and a fair number of people would probably love to be abducted by aliens because it'd be so much more interesting than slaving our lives away to capitalist ghouls.

#Monsterdon

I don't understand the monologues in front of the giant paintings. Why?

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiku #Communion1989

Ah he’s the one, so now he’s ok with all the rectal probing sex club. He just wanted to make sure he was spweciwal #monsterdon #communion1989

Please, alien blooper reel during credits.

#Monsterdon

WE could have been watching the honeymooners right now.

... actually, i'm not sure that would be an improvement. at least this movie contains weird alien dance parties.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

That scene that transitions from the Mos Eisley bar to seeing himself as a magician was a very prefigurement of Twin Peaks.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me....

#Monsterdon

the Aliens gave Walken the power to summon Eric Clapton guitar ANYWHERE, you know.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #Communion_1989

Why are they kissing in an art gallery with the same guitar music? What are you doing, movie?

Oh. They let him know he was "chosen."

He's just running off to the cabin and typing to ChatGPT.

#monsterdon

And they said
Come Sail Away
Come Sail Away
Come Sail Away with Meeeee

#Monsterdon

I was kinda enjoying that Lynchian moment there....

#Monsterdon

"Chosen" you could've effing asked! #Monsterdon #Communion 👽🛸

"A Chinese box" is what this movie arrived from TEMU in #Monsterdon

Bossa nova is not a dance #monsterdon #communion1989

oh well, at least we'll always have the two minutes where this movie was good #monsterdon

BEER

#monsterdon

this is fucking awesome. you NEVER thought this movie could turn it around. #monsterdon

Black suit, suitcase, "I'm goin for a pack of cigarettes!"

That's what my mom said when she left. Never saw her again. … ALIENS!

He has a real Cesar Romero Joker vibe somehow.

Can just walk on into the alien spaceship, which is a blob of light in a field, that nobody else notices. Now he learns to do the watusi from the Kobolds. & they rectal probe him again? That's just how they say hello.

#monsterdon #communion

I wonder what the last thread of my sanity is doing right now

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

Oh, any movie when Walken gets to show his undeniable dance moves can't be ALL bad. That fellow sure can dance. #Monsterdon #Communion1989

So the ship is bigger on the inside. What a rip off you fuckin hack. #monsterdon

@Lazarou Must've had P Diddy's baby oil on their hands. #Monsterdon #Communion 👽🛸

great, they used him to fine-tune a Large Language Model

#monsterdon

Why are we having a cantina scene?

Also, Walken is actually a pretty good dancer.

#Monsterdon

Did Eric Clapton write THAT bit of cantina jam music?

#monsterdon

what in the shit is happening now

#Monsterdon

Is this dancing the fucking off into the sea? Please? #Monsterdon

Aww, they just want fren for dance and anal.

#Monsterdon

OK were at the Ewok dance party part of this movie.

#Monsterdon

for the soundtrack they shoulda got Vangelis or Giorgio Moroder or someone like that

#monsterdon

What is even happening? #monsterdon #communion1989

This is just ripping off the last episode of The Prisoner

#Monsterdon

Where have I seen the psychiatrist before? Probably The Mist, Stephen King’s Golden Years, and/or Misery.

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

YES! STAR WARS CANTINA!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #Communion_1989

I too like to shake the hands of the aliens that probed me and dance with them in their groovy space ship.

oh so it was just a cult after all
#monsterdon

Jokes on you! The battery in the camera is dead!

#monsterdon #communion1989

I can't believe they're not Jawas

#monsterdon

Oh. Hi guys. I saw you had your porch light on. Thought I'd drop by to chat. #Monsterdon #Communion1989

@allanb He was one of many rejected. Streiber did not want Hollywood to make a SFX-fest. He wanted to keep it a character piece.

#Monsterdon

gimme some skin and let's dance to 80s synth sax

#monsterdon

Alien: Why do you look like a VJ if MTV existed in the 1920s?

#monsterdon

"No cameras beyond this point sir. May I take your hat? Would you like to dance?"
