What I'm really getting from this is that Whitley Streiber is/was in a miserable marriage.

@apLundell

"You saw who?"
"No, Who's on first."

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

Should you be having this session with your wife there? I thought these things were one on one?

#Monsterdon

He seems to have no idea

#monsterdon

I'm starting to get interested now that Anne (Whitley's wife) is acknowledging being almost as confused as we in the audience are

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

Santa gave Walken a special gift on Christmas.
#Monsterdon #Communion

1989 and New Yorkers are just starting to move on from the Annie Hall look.

#Monsterdon

For a 80s movie, there's a surprising lack of smoking figures till now.

⁉️ TRIVIA ENCOUNTER 👽

🎞️ There is a scene where "Strieber" laughs when he sees the visitors. This was Christopher Walken's natural reaction at seeing the alien designs. He thought they looked silly.

Director Philippe Mora liked his reaction. He thought it made the scene "more disturbing" and kept it in.

#Monsterdon #Communion1989 #Communion

She didn't memorize her lines did she?
#monsterdon

Wait did I miss the rectal thing? All I remember was him getting touched near the ear.
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "He's sending me to a Shrinker"

He's going to be about six inches tall by the end of the picture.

what would i say, i can't tell my wife what happened to me, how would i talk to my wife about things that i am uncertain and scared about that happened to me #monsterdon

"Did you tell Anne about this?"

"No, but I nearly shot her."

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon "The... rectal thing? Myeah"

"It happens, you know. Even to men."

Hey movie, what in the hell could that possibly mean, what are you saying

So this doctor was the late 80s equivalent of Paul Giamatti?
#Monsterdon #Communion

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #Communion_1989

SHow me where the alien touched you on this spooky teddy bear..

The doctor looks like an alien.

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

"like big, thick kids"

#monsterdon

“I don’t recall them being human”

#Monsterdon #Communion1989 #Communion

I wonder what that insect is up to

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

Aww a tank of newts. No don't cut away from the newts! I want newt cam!
#Monsterdon #Communion

The last time you saw your husband, he had found a loaded shotgun and had lost his mind. And you go running in front of him?

That's on you, lady.

#monsterdon

For those of you wondering why a lunatic is toting a gun around their vacation cabin, blasting up the place, remember that these actors are portraying Americans, and this is actually mild behavior. #Monsterdon #Communion1989

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #Communion_1989

Son, sometimes mommy and daddy fight. And sometimes a shotgun is fired..

"I was just trying to turn your mom on, son. She likes the taste of danger."

#Monsterdon #Communion #Communion1989

i know enough about gun guys to know that if they are discharging that thing in the house to not walk into the line of fire silently #monsterdon

Walken really sells the part of a man losing his grip on reality, so as bizarre as some of his choices are, it works. #Monsterdon

honestly, if this movie ended with a murder-suicide at minute 42, i might not be upset.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

Walken is still fighting Jawas on Tatooine.
Wait so they have a pick up and a van?
#Monsterdon #Communion

Anybody got 50cc of thorazine handy? Because I think somebody NEEDS it!

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

Unstable man with a shotgun, where’s Omar when you need him #monsterdon #communion1989

Meep

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

Uh. That escalated quickly. #Monsterdon

okay yeah, that's grounds for divorce

#monsterdon

My dude you are really too much on edge to be handling firearms right now #Monsterdon

We could be watching a story about the Flatwoods monster. My favorite silly alien design.

WHY

WHY WOULD YOU CHAMBER A ROUND THEN ENTER A BEDROOM

THIS IS A GUN, NOT YOUR "GUN"

#monsterdon

The weird thing is, when someone freaks out about a surprise Halloween costume that's when you're supposed to laugh, cuz that was kinda the whole point.

What's weird that they made a thing about it.

#Monsterdon #Communion

"Don't worry, son, I'm just doing monster patrol w/ my shotgun." #Monsterdon

You'd better not give Santa the gift of buckshot. #Monsterdon #Communion1989

Aww I don't have Xmas Shotgun in my #bingo card #Monsterdon #MonsterMiku #Communion1989

The unemployed writer also has a laptop. #monsterdon

His theory that on a clear night a cloud can’t pass over the moon, clearly he hasn’t been to Toronto, today we’ve had sunshine, rain, snow, sunshine, ice, rain, sunshine, and everything else multiple times #monsterdon #communion1989

this woman is an asshole

#monsterdon

girl you are in danger girl get out of there

#monsterdon

Who's afraid of Virginia Wolf meets ET, but without the booze

#monsterdon

My policy is not to argue with a guy who is loading a shotgun #Monsterdon

@Taweret it's like they probed him and went Oh Sh!t he's one of us put him back! #Monsterdon

is this whole movie just people talking over each other.

if i want to hear married folks bickering i can just listen to my- i mean

#monsterdon

Honestly, his wife should’ve divorced him 0.5 seconds into this movie, even pre-aliens
#Monsterdon

yes i'm sure yelling "get better" will help

#monsterdon

EVERYONE in this movie is an asshole #monsterdon

yes in the middle of a weird argument is a non creepy time to grab your gun

#monsterdon

They just showed Duncan and Robinson at the Spurs game. Robinson still looks 20. #monsterdon

So, Walken gets a bubble bathroom some second - hand aliens from Star Trek original series?
#Monsterdon #communion1989

oh my god look at that ancient laptop! amazing.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

"Spider bite." I'm obliged to tell you all that if there's a mysterious lesion that appears overnight and it looks a lot like a small opportunistic bacterial infection, it's not a spider bite. It's staph.

#Monsterdon

Sure let's mention the "bite" but don't actually show us this thing that is definitely not a spider bite.

#Monsterdon

The smart couple is happily back in New York
#monsterdon

Ooh, 80s laptop!

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

ohh check out that laptop

#monsterdon

to the aliens, Walken is like the most normal guy they've ever met

#monsterdon

So, we know the aliens can disarm state-of-the-art electronic security systems...
... have we figured out how they overcome deadbolts?

#Monsterdon #Communion #Communion1989

The aliens are coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE! #Monsterdon #communion1989

@bryanhowell Bigfoot should know better though

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

I think that owl must have drilled a hole in my head. #Monsterdon 👽🦉

Is there an alien in that little fireplace?

#monsterdon
#Communion

I reiterate #TheMiddleman 's PSA.

Probes are bad, OK?

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

The aliens took him then threw him back because he was too creepy #Monsterdon

bigfoot mentioned
#monsterdon

Walken has identified the aliens as owls already? Well he's solved the Kelly-Hopkinsville alien encounter and Flatwoods monster already.
#Monsterdon #Communion

I knew a grand fae that used to do this to humans. Except it was a really slick glamour instead of a rubber mask. #Monsterdon #Communion1989

#Monsterdon 🌌👽 🛸🫣 ⁉️ 👨‍⚕️ 😱

"Now let me tell you one more thing about grizzly bears..."

it'll be fascinating if this movie does ye olde 'we spend entire movie wondering if this guy is just hallucinating and maybe traumatized', but only because this one is based on a real..... okay wat the fuck is that alien face what it'S NOT EVEN GREY

#monsterdon

Aliens, owls, same difference

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

Dink dink. Dink dink dink DINK DINK DINK.

#Monsterdon

That sounded uncomfortably like a dental drill

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

#Monsterdon They've been abducted by someone who ordered the "Alien" mask from the back of a comic book.

Okay, but why was Dril there?

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

"OOO TEE NEE!"
Those are some fat Jawas.
#Monsterdon #Communion

HI ho Kermit THE frogs here

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

See now this is why smart homes are such a bad idea #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Communion

@bryanhowell He read the script.

#monsterdon

so like, are the aliens hijacking the security system? is that the DTMF hook here?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #Communion_1989

Bizarre clock is bizarre.

that clock's giving _me_ nightmares

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

also that's not a cabin. that's a giant house

#Monsterdon

Is Santa an alien? #monsterdon #communion1989

who in the 80s decided that the guitar was the instrument of all emotions. i don't want on fucking slow twangy guitar solo in my saccharine family emotions, that's what strings and bells and a piano are for #monsterdon

#monsterdon God this kid sucks

I guess time passed? #Monsterdon #communion1989

Next time someone says Die Hard is their favorite Christmas movie, I'm going to claim Communion is mine.
#Monsterdon #Communion1998

Lights flickering, must be proof of alien presence #monsterdon #communion1989

Wait, can this be a Christmas movie #Monsterdon
