The cabin is sinking! #Monsterdon

I feel like this counts as ‘cultists’ for my bingo card… #Monsterdon #communion1989

This movie feels like it's speedrunning itself

#Monsterdon

What if Santa was the alien‽
#monsterdon

now that i'm paying attention to the wife she's not very nice either.

i mean irl i'm pretty sure strieber ended up divorced. many such cases in ufology (could be remembering wrong due to how many there are)

#monsterdon

that kid is the only person in this movie who knows what movie he's in.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

Children's recital (& this film) proves the adage "There is no suffering without art."

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

It's bad enough I have to hear screaming children, you're going to make me listen to singing children?

This really *is* a horror movie.

#Monsterdon #Communion1998

Second Grade Rumble?

Elementary School Cage Fight?

#monsterdon

Okay. Now it's a horror movie. #Monsterdon #Communion

did the alien make Walken put on polkadot pants and a fedora?

#monsterdon

D E P R E S S I O N

#monsterdon

The personalities of the people in this family is plenty scary.
The aliens can only be a stabilizing influence.
#Monsterdon

Does Walken have long COVID?

#Monsterdon

@strangefour
Thank you! I've been thinking this whole movie "do people sleep like that?"

#monsterdon

Joe Mantegna needs to come and rescue Lindsey Crouse from all this.

#Monsterdon

I wonder if the Alien is coming back

#monsterdon

Who could have guessed that a movie about sleep-paralysis could be so boring?

#monsterdon
#Communion

"you used to be funny"

was he tho?

#monsterdon #Communion1989

"i like my workplace with crust"

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #Communion_1989

I like my workplace with a crust.

I can relate..

Honey, you're not peforming hetersexual masculinity correctly. I'm going to have you listen to these podcasts. #Monsterdon

She's dismissive of his trauma? I don't think that's cool. #Monsterdon

oh so it's going to be one of those "guy gets mind controlled by aliens and loses is whole family and needs to shake off the alien to win them back" movies instead of "guy becomes an alien and the community bands together to de-alien him" #monsterdon

yeah lady, sometimes people with PTSD get freaked out by things....

#monsterdon

Can you imagine how boring this would be without the Walken upgrade

#Monsterdon #Communion1989 #Communion

„Look, we got this wide angle lens, we got Walken. Let’s just roll.“ #monsterdon

i don't know what he does. i don't know what anyone in this movie is doing, and i haven't known for about 26 minutes.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

This is the "The Room" of alien abduction stories

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

I mean, if you're going to dress up in cinema-quality special effects gear, you should expect people to shit themselves and freak out when you jump scare them?

#Monsterdon #Communion #Communion1989

Not in the doghouse, you’re in the elephant house #monsterdon #communion1989

"Also, say goodbye to your father, I'm launching him out the window."

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

He's not my favorite dad character but at least he's having fun with it and he kinda cares.

#Monsterdon

Cool Kamen Rider monster of the week costume.
#Monsterdon #Communion

Kinda looks like Halloween at the Overlook Hotel.

#Monsterdon

So the kid is clearly in emotional distress. Let's PARTY!

…
And they wonder why GenXers turned out the way we did.

#Monsterdon #Communion1998

Was Walken fortelling 30 years into the future, working from home wearing underpants?

#Monsterdon

a wizard did it. everything so far. a wizard did it.

#monsterdon

@MatthewTitus88 yeppp #monsterdon

"you can use this it's clean"

i don't even have anything to say about that line. nothing at all.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

I wonder what David Mamet is up to

#Monsterdon #Communion1989 #Communion

Since this is apparently actually about the social lives of moderately successful New Yorkers, I'm just going to imagine it as an episode of Seinfeld.

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #communion

#monsterdon Whitley's wife should have killed him years ago

So far the aliens are the least weird thing. #monsterdon

Stop talking about wolves Walken. You are just reminding us we could be watching a Howling sequel.
#Monsterdon #Communion

It was OK but the spaceship is ugly and there wasn't any cowbell #Monsterdon

what even is this movie

#monsterdon

This man is trying too hard to be weird.

#monsterdon

I wonder what the wolves all over the place are up to

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

Christopher Walken is a modern, pantsless teleworker.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌌👽 🛸🫣 ⁉️ 👨‍⚕️ 😱

CHRIS WHAT ARE YOU WEARING

The plague rhyme in the background sure was a choice.
#Monsterdon #MonsterMiku #Communion1989

Ninja! BINGO!

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

D'ya think all the wolves references (and the painting) might have something to do with the fact that Whitley wrote The Wolfen and Mora directed The Howling II and III? #monsterdon

That is no moon #monsterdon #communion1989

The aliens came to Earth looking for dialogue

and then they left

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou Maybe the wife is a Wolf of Wall Street-style hedge fund manager and they just forget to mention it.

#monsterdon

I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more continuity

#Monsterdon

@allanb Hard SAME.
#Monsterdon

Best part of the movie so far. #monsterdon

Whitley? Witling!

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

G'Kar is doing a Londo impression.

#monsterdon

OMG OKAY IT WASNT A DREAM. GET ON WITH IT.
#monsterdon

Kid looks VERY suspicious of that garbage accent.

#monsterdon

I want banana cakes

#monsterdon

#monsterdon This was the era when every creepy movie had to have a "wedwum" kid

so far I'm buying the "aliens wrote the script" theory

#Monsterdon

It was a moon dream

#monsterdon
#Communion

Who are these other people. Hope it doesn't matter. #monsterdon

i would have missed the random racism without everyone's commentary because i can't hear shit when they're mumbling. or talking actually. the sound mixing on this is...... difficult

#monsterdon

One time when I was like 8 or 9 years old, shortly after everyone in the house had gone to bed, I heard this horrible, loud, mechanical grinding noise, and I was convinced I was about to be abducted by aliens... until one of my parents got up and fished the rogue spoon out of the dishwasher they'd started up on the way to bed.

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #communion

So this is like Alan Alda's "The Four Seasons", but with aliens?

#Monsterdon #Communion_1989

@CactuarJoe this explains much

#monsterdon

Babylon 5 fans might recognize G'Kar: Andreas Katsulas. He also played the "one armed man" in The Fugitive #Monsterdon

random, racist, random

#Monsterdon

Holy Cowbell! Touched by an Alien! :blobastonished: #Monsterdon

Whoops, so much for a problematic-free monsterdon. #monsterdon

Well, poor old Walken is screwed now. An alien jabs you in the head with a glowing McDonalds straw, and there's no way you can go back to your life as a failing writer and failing duck chef.

#Monsterdon #Communion #Communion1989

Ok Mr Walken, I need you to act shocked and concerned....

.... great. ... great job. 😐
#monsterdon

The Alien zaps Walken's brain. How is anyone going to know? #monsterdon

hey kid your screaming is a little pitchy

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

G'Kar! Hide! Centauri invasion! #Monsterdon #Communion1989

i think they're communing now

#monsterdon

Look I don’t care if you want to have light aliens over but not that late I have to work in the morning #Monsterdon

and thus, Walken was Enlightened.

#monsterdon

I missed the first ? minutes - what on ? is going on?

#monsterdon

Alien light is special, it wakes people up calmly and slowly

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

You know how they say any technology sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic?

Well, any house with sufficient automation is indistinguishable from haunted.

(ask me how I know)

#monsterdon

This is some Casio sampling keyboard synth vibes going on here. #Monsterdon #Communion1989

it's arrow oclock

#monsterdon

Dude, I know it was the 80s, but what the fuck was up with that clock? #Monsterdon

City Guy _loses his shit_ overnighting in a suburban cabin camp

#monsterdon

Christopher Walken as a writer in a SciFi/Horror feels so Stephen King coded.

#Monsterdon #Communion

Peekaboo!

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

They’re really roughing it “in the woods”.

#Monsterdon

oo! okay, people, we have alien!

#monsterdon #Communion1989

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #Communion_1989

Why do I feel like Christopher Walken would be more likely to probe the aliens?

Can you say erection? BLLEGHEIDG?

@arrjay #monsterdon

YES! That clock was the best thing in the movie so far!!

Is this dialog supposed to make sense? It's like everyone's doing random comedy monologues simultaneously. #Monsterdon

man I kind of hate this film already

#monsterdon
