Flying saucer rentals are much cheaper then.

Perhaps all the nebulous subplots of this film can be weaved together meaningfully by a climactic anal probe scene.

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

Mama Mia Mama Mia I've got to go, you cannot go no no no #Monsterdon #Communion1989

There is ~40 minutes left of this movie.
#Monsterdon

"I've got to go"
"... it's fine, the couch has a rubber sheet on it, or the toilet's just down the hall."

#Monsterdon #Communion

I am sorry to @cherizilla for all our bingo recommendations that were based on the expectation of this being a normal UFO movie and not an autobiographical movie that forbids there being any cool UFO things #monsterdon

Bit of a meta moment: I accidentally touched the screen and jumped back to the first part of the movie, so I had to guess where we were while fastforwarding/rewinding to find the original place, getting shots of weird imagery the entire time.
#Monsterdon

I bet that the psychiatrist is from lizard people.

She's tossing & turning in her hypnotic trance. #Monsterdon

"Anne, let's go back in time to before you started lying to your husband acting like he was crazy for telling you about the aliens you clearly saw abduct him."

#Monsterdon #Communion

falling asleep... deeply, deeply asleep...

@jonny

Sorry, you're doomed to disappointment #Monsterdon

Doctor, your crikey! o' clock is here. And it's big like a light. #Monsterdon #Communion1989

You know, someone could be an actual contactee (if such a thing were possible) and have the experience drive them at least a little nuts….

@davesdogmaggie omg
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon these guitar riffs 100% make me think Shannon Tweed is about to get naked in front of a fireplace

Oh, her alien supervisors are here!

Jazz is used for contemplation scenes, or any scene really..

Did the mom NOT tell the dad that the kid saw the SAME thing?

#Communion1989

#Monsterdon 🌌👽 🛸🫣 ⁉️ 👨‍⚕️ 😱

the first and only 'haiku explains aliens' moment in American Cinema, friends

#Monsterdon ok, we've seen a lot of aliens in this movie so far. But none of them are "blue".

Why does everybody keep calling them blue?

I….shall….now….show….warmth….to…..this…..juvenile….person #Monsterdon

I'm not gonna say kids never talk like that, but by and large… #Monsterdon

"There's a skull staring at me".
"Yeah, all people have skulls. You wanna go underwatta and live with the jellyfish?!?"

#Monsterdon #Communion

"No, no bad dream, just a skull staring at me."

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #communion

Fun fact: "kobold" is the origin of the element name "cobalt", because the element was discovered in ores that miners thought to be cursed or bedeviled---when smelted, they made nasty fumes.

#Monsterdon

accurate depiction of the sophistication of most research brain data interfaces #monsterdon

Where would eighties movies be without spooky choir patches on digital synthesizers, eh? Sounds like a Roland D50. #monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie yeah but afterwards you get brain _candy_ so

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

Not long, not long. Just long enough for me to eat my lunch while you sit here miserable. This is a doctors office, after all.
#monsterdon

there is literally no endpoint they can go for that will be satisfying in this movie that doesn't involve blowing up the aliens, you can't just end the movie with like "dang this guy was alien implanted thats weird oh well" or even worse "dang this guy is a liar and there are no aliens at all" #monsterdon

Now a flashback to Walken as a child in his own Stephen King's IT?
#Monsterdon #Communion

What type of weird test is he doing for epilepsy when an EEG would suffice and the results would take a bit longer to come back #monsterdon #communion1989

OMG, that's Andreas Katsulas, that's who that is

#Monsterdon #Babylon5

Clockwork Orange time!

#Monsterdon #Communion_1989

ew

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

This film was financed by Big Cotton Ball #Monsterdon

"Just a little bit unpleasant" is the last fucking thing I want to hear from a doctor

#Monsterdon

"Breathe in deeply through your mouth"

I don't think this guy is a real doctor. #Monsterdon

jesus, strobing lights warning!

#monsterdon #Communion1989

Well the Owlbear is just gonna look away from the flash lights real quick…

#Monsterdon #Communion1998

Lol telling Christopher walken not to talk for 25 minutes 🤣
#Monsterdon #MonsterMiku #Communion1989

Great idea! If you have someone with a delusion, put them in a group of others with the same delusion. #Monsterdon

I expected the shrinker to be more ET focus, I mean she had First Contact book on her table
#monsterdon

Now that we've shoved all this stuff up your nose we want you do do some deep breathing. #Monsterdon #Communion

The last thing he needs is more prodding. #Monsterdon #Communion 👽🛸

Look at them all going "I saw lights...
... I heard noises"

And the wife being all "I definitely didn't see him get dragged out of our bedroom by a gaggle of behooded aliens."

#Monsterdon #Communion

G'Kar is absolutely correct. This is totally shit that Unseelie Court members do for fun. #Monsterdon #Communion1989

@nsmckinnon Those were in WOW early game!

#monsterdon

"this is going to be just a little bit unpleasant"

as opposed to the rest of this movie?

#monsterdon #Communion1989

Nice hypnosis fugue as a bottle ep, repeat everything from 40 minutes earlier in the film.

Hallucinating everyone a bus as a bug: TOTALLY NORMAL. I had that all the time.

<Tubi ad: Rock star climbs up stairs & falls, ad for bananas>

G'Kar: KOBOLDS!!! PEOPLE OF THE LOWER DEPTHS! "They have haunted the world forever."

Shrink has a DOZEN abductee patients. But nobody believes, it must be brain damage.

#monsterdon #communion

She's the only doctor who has patients who see aliens. I'm glad she has no financial stake in this. #Monsterdon

"This is going to be just a little bit unpleasant" [BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

#monsterdon "I have a DOZEN patients who all report seeing the same beings you saw."

Way to bury the lede, doc!!!

28% of this movie budget was hats #Monsterdon

why is the doctor still here? what level of service _is_ this?

#monsterdon

My psychosis is not your silly psychosis. #Monsterdon

Was that the whole reason of having that other character there at the beginning of the movie is to bring him home and tell him it was just cave trolls instead of aliens?

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiku #Communion1989

"Sorry that I got so crazy"

Oh that's okay we all know how it is for writers. #Monsterdon

oh yeah sure have the abstract eastern european guy validate the existence of little people why don't we ask the irish guy if they're leprechauns while we're at it #monsterdon

Oh great. She's a Scientologist. #Monsterdon #Communion

#Monsterdon "You're talking about folklore? I'm talking about cheap sci-fi!"

"I'm talking about...
... Dun dun dun...
The Invaders!"

#Monsterdon #Communion

WOW the nerve and bad taste it must take to wear a coon-skin cap with a tail

#monsterdon

The hallucinating on the bus is a nice touch.
#Monsterdon

@trixter jinx

#monsterdon

THE LITTLE MEN

#monsterdon

KOBOLDS!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Who chose this movie's hats?!?

They're not space aliens, they're GROUND ALIENS!

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

Where the heck did G'Kar find a Davey Crockett coonskin cap in 1989? #Monsterdon #Communion1989

gobble gobble

munch munch(kin)

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

KOBOLDS MENTIONED #monsterdon

Leetle and tuff

#Monsterdon

KOBOLDS!?

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #communion

Is he saying Kobolds? #Monsterdon

@ryan @Taweret Please, there has never been one regret for #monsterdon ever.  That's the story and I'm sticking to it

KOBOLDS! roll for initiative!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #Communion_1989

Gobols?

I hope Gkar found a place to park his sled dog team #Monsterdon

amyfou@lingo.lol BUSTED!! Definitely an alien! #Monsterdon #Communion 👽🛸

He comes in there with that hat and Walken's the crazy one?? #Monsterdon #Communion

I recall MODOKs

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

Who asks for direction by "end of the line"
#monsterdon

Green insect people everywhere! #monsterdon #communion1989

@whiskeysailor @Taweret careful what you wish for #monsterdon

ma'am, Christopher Walken is the last person you want to ask anything right now.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

Those nuns are definitely grays. #Monsterdon #Communion

"whatever happened is in the past and you're fine" ma'am can I see what kind of therapy degree you have #monsterdon

The Thicc Kids look really cool #Monsterdon

So the aliens hypnotized him too?

#monsterdon

“I’ll be right… here.”

#Monsterdon

Quite striking sets. #Monsterdon

LATE NIGHT BUS RIDE

#monsterdon

At this juncture I'd like to complain about how that one season of American Horror Story had plotlines about 1) the Angel of Death and 2) alien abduction, but (criminally) never brought them together. I mean it was also terrible for like a million other reasons that are mostly whatshisface being a misogynist and also not really having any kind of story planned out, but that was a real loss

#Monsterdon

That stairwell shot was great. #Monsterdon #Communion

noodly-armed aliens, yess #monsterdon

Now. Pull my finger. #Monsterdon #communion1989

His contact w/ aliens gave him the strength to escape hypnotism. #Monsterdon

Looks like M.O.D.O.K. without his little flying chair?

#Monsterdon
