The security system is blinking ominously. #monsterdon

Maybe this is an elaborate PSA about the important of proper backups.

#Monsterdon

the attack of the Caldor Mobile!

#Monsterdon

Is Andreas Kastulas playing... Chekhov's Chekhov?

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

THIS IS A WOLF-FREE FILM SET.

#monsterdon

I wonder what the spider is up to

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

Jump cut to whoever the fuck these people is. #monsterdon

HEY ALIENS! You can totally abduct this guy, we don't want him.

#monsterdon

Chekov's daddy long legs..... #monsterdon

Say something dirty

"Socks"

God she's hot

#Monsterdon

@Terencio

Like that greatest of all time film... Skyscraper with Anna Nicole Smith?

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

I see, like, zero Roman Catholics. How are we going to get a communion into this film?

#Monsterdon

Give this kid more lines

#Monsterdon

Author Whitley Strieber also served as executive producer. His reported experiences serve as the basis of the film.

Strieber confronted Walken concerned that he might be portraying him as a little too crazy. Walken replied "If the shoe fits." #WalkenBurn

#Monsterdon #Communion1989 #Communion

"new york city amateur novelist drives his bigass monster truck to his vacation cabin with this two wives and child" is on the same tier as "homer simpson could afford a large family home on a single income" as far as propaganda for the living conditions of the late 80's #monsterdon

So tempted to check off "they're just like us" on the bingo card

Statistically speaking, I feel like that has to be applicable to at least one of the characters we've seen so far

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

deeeaad?
deeeaad?
deeeaad?

#monsterdon

Didn’t they film this at the cabin where it really happened? #Monsterdon 👽

"Let your wife cook" From a firefighter? Has the screen writer never met a firefighter?

(for those not in the know one of the big aspects of fire station camaraderie is to cook large meals for the people on shift with you, and that job typically rotates between everyone, it's why you often see fire trucks parked in supermarket parking lots at certain times of the day)

#Monsterdon

Why does a New Yorker need a 4x4 with giant roof lights and no spare tire?

And why does that look like they're driving in California?

#Monsterdon

This guy owns a pick up? In the 80s? Yeah right.
How many number pads on walls is this movie gonna have?
#Monsterdon #Communion

I bet Walken can still remember those numbers too, even in the 21st Century

#Monsterdon

Please make sure the soundtrack is extra smarmy, we want to draw attention away from Walkens smarmyness. #monsterdon

This aggressively 80s score! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon this guy is insufferable

I don't understand why it turned off

under the desk: #Monsterdon #MonsterMiku #Communion1989

I haven't seen G'Kar not covered in alien make up in so so long. It's kinda shocking.
#Monsterdon #Communion

this soundtrack wants to be Dire Straits so badly

(it's actually Eric Clapton! 😮 )

#Monsterdon

So Whitley is brandishing a dead duck. Is this metatextual? #monsterdon

Why are people going INTO an apartment while smoke is billowing out and the smoke alarm is going off?

#monsterdon

i don't think that qualifies as food anymore, but okay.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

okay i'm going to have a problem not hating this guy because he has the exact accent of a really terrible roommate I had in new york city who gave off big abusive vibes

#monsterdon

And there's G'Kar! #monsterdon

Ah you know it's a movie because the NYFD showed up super fast

#Monsterdon

Uh. I don't think smoke detectors ever sounded like that. #monsterdon

This is the least abrasive smoke alarm ever! #Monsterdon #communion1989

Eric Clapton, Christopher Walken, the author of the book also wrote the screenplay, everything looks promising, yet the movie ends-up on Tubi. Makes you wonder how ...

#monsterdon

@diazona

We also had that in Top Dog (1995) with Chuck Norris. You can guess how well that went...

EDIT: wait, not the lead, but still, an important character

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

"My great American novel" was a list of films where Perrier had paid for product placement, LOL #monsterdon

👀 Look for the Whitley character placing a painting or lithograph of a wolf on a mantle. Author Strieber also wrote the novel "Wolfen," later made into a film (1981).

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

Strap in, Walken starts at a 10 and goes up from there.
#Monsterdon

that's what you get for using wordstar in 1989

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

never has there ever been anyone less capable of playing a family man than walken #monsterdon

That computer scene… was something.

#Monsterdon

This will be how I will great my wife when she comes home from work, full Walken impression

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #Communion_1989
BOOM!

I'm Walken in here!!

"Where is dad?"

"Yelling at Word Perfect."

#Monsterdon

👂Listen for the ''Communion Theme,'' composed and performed by Eric Clapton!

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

2 minutes in and Walken is already walkening

#monsterdon

Hell yeah all the best writers use WORDSTAR. #monsterdon

this is in fact how i interact with my PC too. no notes.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

That's probably a 60 mm f/15 refractor on one of those "mount of doom" U-shaped setups.

Also, please be nice to the computer.

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

It's me in every Teams meeting. #Monsterdon #Communion

Is he wearing the Gulf Breeze UFO

#Monsterdon

Cam girl

#MOnsterdon

All right, Communion time. I've read the book long ago, it's kind of a mess of other abduction stories, who knows if Strieber was serious. Hadn't seen the movie, watching on Tubi.

Christopher "I'm Walken Here!"
ANDREAS KATSULAS! G'KAR HISSELF!
ERIC CLAPTON!

WORDSTAR! He's cooking.

Walken collect art and silly hats.

👀 Look for the opening shots of NYC. These were captured by an independent cameraman allowed to fly around NYC in a helicopter using a time lapse camera.

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

I bet Sternhagen and Steenbergen got confused all the time. #monsterdon

main theme composed and performed by who now

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #communion

New York, the before times.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon is imminent. Christopher Walken flick? Seems appealing…

Not sure I'll watch & toot, but will pull up the OwnCast for a few minutes anyway.

An Alaskan polar bear heater is a cocktail consisting of one shot each of gin, vermouth, rum, and brandy, plus two shots of vodka. It's the perfect start to an evening of getting your stomach pumped!

#Monsterdon #EarthGirlsAreEasy

Someone drove a piano to this party?
#Monsterdon #EarthGirlsAreEasy

Alas.

Wiploc looks like such a fuckboy, and you know what they say, fuckboys get money!

...or was that "fuck boys, get money [instead]"?

#Monsterdon #EarthGirlsAreEasy

Mel Gibson, definitely NOT!!! #Monsterdon #earthgirlsareeasy

If the guys don't get a musical number for their makeovers, I will be so sad ​:floofLol:​

Why not poison the fish. Nice. 😐

#monsterdon

At least it's before the wedding?

#Monsterdon #EarthGirlsAreEasy

I am more invested in the relationship of the characters in this movie than last one. Involved in wanting them to break up.
#Monsterdon #EarthGirlsAreEasy

Holy shit....from LetterBoxd

"Christopher Walken gets an extraterrestrial anal probing and refuses to believe the little Grey's would play with his tight little butthole. After some therapy and hypnotism he realizes he actually is down to clown."

Am fuckin dying here!! #monsterdon

see? the cat knows he's a DOG

That was, indeed, a movie. #Monsterdon #communion1989

oh gods we're not gonna have to watch these folks have sex, are we?

#monsterdon #WrongCommunion

Sorry I can't make the second movie, I don't have the energy after ... that.
