#Monsterdon The aliens don't allow hats in their ship?

It's a Betamax, they only allow VHS in here
#monsterdon

I'm not convinced this guy's not on some bad acid or something. He's absolutely checking into some kind of nightclub right now.
#Monsterdon #MonsterMiku #Communion1989

No cameras at the alien dance party

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

the aliens were just waiting for him to seek therapy and then it was just an open door policy come on in and lets jam whenever you want #monsterdon

Is that it? Do the aliens just want to party?

#Monsterdon

i like all the dance parties the aliens have

#monsterdon

Oh! Is this going to end like Repo Man?!?!

#monsterdon

The Americana lonesome guitar plaintively twangs

#monsterdon

Walk into the flood lights Mr Walken.
#Monsterdon #Communion

you know what would be good music at this moment? the intro to Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast".

#monsterdon #MaximumOverCommunion

c walken steps beyond the bushes, creepy music plays, and neither he nor this movie is ever heard from again. THE END.

please????

#monsterdon #Communion1989

This movie is rich in electric guitar but sadly lacking in sax. #monsterdon

Dark Sky Alliance here, turn out that light, you're contributing to light pollution, disturbing wildlife and making us lose the stars! #Monsterdon #Communion1989

Ugh.How is this movie not over yet. #Monsterdon #Communion

Even though the abuctee group tells similar stories to his, he refuses to accept their theories, because Those People Are Crazy.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

@nev I would take dream sequence alien encounter if it involved a) the aliens doing things and saying things, and b) a subplot that could be resolved within the universe of the alien encounter so we at least have something when we wake up. then yes i think you have a plausible movie on your hands #monsterdon

He's going to see a guy about some mashed potato #Monsterdon #Communion1989

"you are on the fastest route to your destination"

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

I wonder what anything remotely relevant to communion is up to right now

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

y'know what this movie needs? alex trabec. that's what this movie needs. it's 1989 and alex is perfectly alive

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

Middle aged man experiencing writer’s block has convenient alien abduction with sparse details at remote cottage, attends meeting to listen to other abductees stories, and at the end comes up with a book/movie

I mean….
#monsterdon #communion1989

He's never coming back. #Monsterdon #Communion 👽🛸

"I'm going for a pack of cigarettes...and this Fourth Wall"

#monsterdon

Where is he going?

Clearly to audition for the role of the Joker in the next Batman movie

#Monsterdon

You look like nightcore John Wayne

#monsterdon

What are you doing?

Walking without rhythm.

Where are you going?

A TMBG show.

#Monsterdon

If only this film would end
#monsterdon

he's dressed like the fucking riddler, where do you think he's going?

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

He's going to the Ritz

#monsterdon
#Communion

this is Walken's DANCING OUTFIT

#monsterdon

oh geez he's gone back to trying to act all weird.

#monsterdon

Watch as he orders an alien-trap from the Acme Corporation.

#monsterdon
#Communion1989

i'm gonna be honest i'm mostly gonna tune out any more scenes where they are just talking and there are no blue guys present #monsterdon

ma'am, i'm an hour and 25 minutes into this movie, i think i'm entitled to expect some answers.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

Well that was pointless

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

Huge lights.. what are you saying? Bright? Intense?

@klu9 Bingo! 🎉

#monsterdon

Perhaps it's just the cessation of the anxiety induced by watching a marriage fall apart, but I find myself able better to pay attention to this now.

"The joke's on us. We're the ones with '80s hair."

#Monsterdon

matrilineal rectal probes

#monsterdon

I think the joke is on us the audience

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

*NY Accent*
I didn't want a rectal probe I was warrrieedd honey..

#monsterdon #communion1989

Conducting the Probing #monsterdon #noodlearms

I didn't want a rectal probe, Lori!

#Monsterdon

@kshernandez who needs resolution, this is #Monsterdon

this was the most crazily weird abduction scene I ever saw
#monsterdon
#communion1989

"nobody wants it, nobody asks for it"

oh sweet summer child...

#monsterdon

doctor you mean to tell me you lead a whole goddamn abductee support group and you don't have any insight into what an abductee might be experiencing in their family or have developed any practice around it whatsoever #monsterdon

These are questionably monsters

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

So, how does Whitley get into the cabin without setting off the security system if his wife's not with him? #monsterdon

"a comic novel?" YES! That woulda been a lot better! Kinda like Candide's Voltaire, but with Aliens!

#monsterdon

It has been! In his office was a very alien-like drawing, presumably from his son. It's always been happening! ERIC CLAPTON!

#Monsterdon

"i don't wanna be crazy"

dude, i don't know if you know this, but you're Christopher Walken.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

So the guy basically attended an Insane Clown Posse after-party.

#monsterdon

I *love* the windsock alien, noodly appendages. Weirdo steam bath with unhappy ending.

"Are you old?" Dude, you can't just ask an alien if they're old.

THE NOZZLE! THEY HAVE THE NOZZLE!

Good old-fashioned probing action!
"I'll kill you" says wuss Human who can't do anything. This is why they probe you, dickless.

#monsterdon #communion

No one has even gone to mass yet #Communion #Monsterdon

These are full of metaphors that only make sense if you're Strieber himself, right?

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

90% of Monsterdon right now:

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #Communion_1989

My 23andme results were truly bizarre..

This reminds me of "2001 A Space Odyssey", a far better movie.

#monsterdon

Is he in a sauna with the aliens?
#Monsterdon

It's trying to be surreal but isn't filmed weird enough. And the bendy rubber greys are just too silly to even work as unreality.
#Monsterdon #Communion

"Youse sick alien FUCKS... Making me all naked with these little kids dressed up in front of me."

#Monsterdon #Communion

Wait! Did that alien have on an Addidas track suit? #Monsterdon #Communion 👽🛸

so is this Sauna Hell level?

#monsterdon

They probed him where he pulls his writing out of.

#monsterdon

It can always get worse. Rectal probe. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Christopher Walken: It looks like we're gonna sing "I love to singa" #communion

any astrobiological species would go straight for the butt and the mouth for the same reason that mice and dogs and cats and all olfactory-dominant species do: there's a shitload of information in shit and spit #monsterdon

He's probing the second brain in the gut.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

I didn't choose the #ProbeLife

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiku #Communion1989

as The Prober said, "IT'S PROBIN' TIME!!!"

#monsterdon

Hah the tube goes down between his legs "you're probing my mind!"
Pfft.

#Monsterdon #Communion

Dolly zoom of Walken in the psychiatrist’s chair

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

And this folks, is why you don’t give up on a movie. That was worth your price of admission #Monsterdon

Now THAT'S what I call

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

@klu9

Oh, that's why I feel like having mashed potatoes

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

This is supposed to be like a sorta lucid dream, where you can affect things but don't have full control?

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

They took his sweater off! Awful. Terrible.

#monsterdon #communion1989

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #Communion_1989

This is why you should be careful when pledging a fraternity.

okay but like seriously doesn't this look like how you'd imagine an alien strip club

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

#Monsterdon Would this very standard alien abduction story have been more scary in 1989?

Was it not saturated into pop culture by then?

okay starting to enjoy just getting to see trippy excerpts from the book being translated to screen. (i'm not particularly familiar with the book, only heard a couple excerpts, but i can tell that's what's happening)

#monsterdon

The hula-dancing alien again! #monsterdon #communion

I'm uncomfortable with how many of these tropes I remember experiencing in dreams as a kid. ​:neocat_think_woozy:​

"Whoa, waiddaminute heah, I'M WAAAAAALKIN HEAH" #Monsterdon

1980’s Little Doctors Medical Plan less nightmarish than healthcare today #Monsterdon

this dream sequence reminds me of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" a far better....

....no. Fear and Loathing was not THAT much better....

#monsterdon

ugh, okay, the doll thing is actually creepy tho.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

This movie is 90% tedium, 5% flashing lights, 3% this could turn into something interesting, and 2% aliens.

#Monsterdon

ey yo whaddaya doing bada bing oh!

#monsterdon

Ask someone what they had on Christmas Eve dinner like years ago? Lady, I can't remember what I had last Wednesday.

#monsterdon

You don't hear much about people having leftovers from their goose dinner very often.

#monsterdon

The wife speaks in complete sentences while under hypnosis. That says a lot about her. #monsterdon

#monsterdon The tests came back, you do not have temporal lobe epilepsy! The bad news is we discovered several audience members who...welp

(making a note to add that to the dog site)
