Oh he's the Elephant Director of Photography #Monsterdon

I kind of wonder if Walken is acting like a nut because he's as bored as the rest of us. #Monsterdon #Communion

okay you know what's unrealistic? it's that when this guy talks to himself he does it at his full too-loud volume at all times. as a weirdo who talks to themself i can attest that you just get quieter and quieter

#monsterdon

man i gotta get me a kid so i can put them in a halloween costume, that's gotta be in the top 10 tier perks of having a kid #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌌👽 🛸🫣 ⁉️ 👨‍⚕️ 😱

it's not clean it was literally just on your nose dude

Gee, queen lady is really into halloween
#Monsterdon #communion1989

I do like that queenly costume. That tuffet has some sass. #Monsterdon

@paco Best ending ever. Thanks!
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #Communion_1989

In fairness, I warned all of you that this was going to be bizarre. Twice.

how do elephants wear pants

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

#Monsterdon 🌌👽 🛸🫣 ⁉️ 👨‍⚕️ 😱

it's a good elephant wearing a fedora costume I guess?

Not him sniffing the elephant nose

#Monsterdon

Was that a Rainbow Bright costume‽ #Monsterdon #communion1989

"...or the rear?"

Yes, that IS one of the #EinaPlobes

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

I missed the kid in the Rainbow Brite costume before, seriously nice design whoever made it. #Monsterdon

This movie is relentless w/ the horrors. #Monsterdon

Thank you for the subtitles @miru@social.miyaku.media 😅

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiku #Communion1989

@jivens some questions are fundamentally unanswerable

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

Whitley Strieber's expy watching Whitley Strieber's Expy say random sentences. #Monsterdon

In the name of all that is holy do NOT pan down. #Monsterdon

Am I supposed to have a dumb hat for whenever I’m musing to myself? #Monsterdon

Oh it’s a Halloween movie #monsterdon #communion1989

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #Communion_1989

What is Christopher Walken saying? ANd why is he saying it??

I'm guessing that filming at the camera was too expensive.

#Monsterdon

...my mom had a silver version of that gold tinsel wig in the 80s. we have photos

#monsterdon

Why can't we have some fun Kelly-Hopkinsville aliens?
#Monsterdon #Communion

@lytta an indoor-only thinking cap is just about the only valid use of such a hat #monsterdon

Why is this woman hitting on this kid. #Monsterdon

So it is around Halloween, then?

#Monsterdon #Communion_1989

This is why you never invite people to your backwoods cabin. That and there's a shitton more stuff to do with your friend couple in the city. #Monsterdon #Communion1989

Not a single seatbelt was worn. #Monsterdon #communion1989

I really like her outfit....

#monsterdon

the aliens replaced her kid with a ventriloquist's dummy

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

You know, I'd say that running away is a sane choice but we all know it's not going to help... #Monsterdon

He dresses for work, as one should
#monsterdon

Oh, these costumes are to place this in time. This is clearly March Madness. #Monsterdon

This guy's stream-of-consciousness is making the rest of us unconscious. #Monsterdon #Communion1989

And now he's going to start automatic writing alien code?
And the kid's going to develop psycho-kinetic powers he uses to creep on his mom?

#Monsterdon #Communion #Communion1989

WAS THAT RAINBOW BRITE?!

#monsterdon

Computers are the devil, it is true
#monsterdon

Rainbow Brite costume!

#Monsterdon

Meanwhile, back in b-roll, er, New York City.

#Monsterdon

There’s always one kid at a sleepover who wants to go home early. #Monsterdon #communion1989

wandering around your apartment reading your book out loud to yourself with headphones and a fancy hat on, this is an accurate portrayal of writers.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

oh he wears his ugly hat for WRITING. it's his ugly thinking cap. i get it now

#monsterdon

oh hey, Pirates vs Ninjas, wasn't expecting that

#monsterdon

Oh h*ck I'm late! Hopefully I don't need the first 20 minutes of the movie to understand anything!

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

#Monsterdon 🌌👽 🛸🫣 ⁉️ 👨‍⚕️ 😱

cultural reference to 'warthogs'???

I could just watch Walken wander around a room and talk to himself tbh

#monsterdon

Wait. Wait wait wait.

That lady asked for a four letter word for an odor and now I'm going to obsess over it until I know.

#Monsterdon #Communion1998

Back to the dancing in his fancy writing space in his coat & hat. #Monsterdon

Trope subversion: The other man descends into hysterics. #monsterdon

did Whitley Streiber have a hat like that?

#monsterdon

Wish my Monday mornings weren't so early. But have fun tonight all! #Monsterdon

no one wearing seat belts 😬
#monsterdon

NO BUS is the true horror of this story.

#monsterdon

oh damn they drove there together and you can't just call a ride back in the 80s

#monsterdon

@Taweret yeah seriously me too

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

Guess there won’t be any partner swapping this year.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #Communion_1989

They mostly come out at night.
Mostly.

Listen to G'kar! #Monsterdon #Communion1989

"Okay. Well, nobody drink any of the kool aid today and let's see how it goes...." #monsterdon

moar yelling

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

He takes couples camping to this remote cabin. Because of the implications. #Monsterdon

Hey how does he have two arms? #Monsterdon

OK, first contact is pretty good but simple. Just dumb lights, & one weird little guy around the doorjam.

… ah, this "Indian hunting song" is kinda racist. I mean, it's Bork Bork Bork.

IT WASN'T A DREAM! IT WASN'T THE MOON! But we like tha moon.

Ruins a weekend trip for some bad dreams. Dramatic much?

#monsterdon #communion

g'kar the only smart one.

#monsterdon #Communion1989

@Taweret me toooo

#monsterdon

why are the adults torturing the child?

#monsterdon

Walken really does looks crazy. Kudos for that.
#Monsterdon #communion1989

just learned that guy has an ACCENT. did he have that accent before?

#monsterdon

And Totoro came and we danced and all the seeds sprouted! #Monsterdon #Communion1989

Did he just call Andreas Banana Cakes? #Monsterdon

"Well, as long as no-one saw the probing. What happens inside the log cabin stays inside the log cabin."

#Monsterdon #Communion #Communion1989

Maybe the moon turned into aluminum

#Monsterdon #Communion #EinaPlobe

Having a bit of a quiet #Monsterdon, but I did start laugh-wheezing at the alien behind the door.

Also it’s 15 minutes in and I feel like we got 2.5 minutes of context but needed roughly 6, and whoever edited this movie was very aggressive in some places and quite lax in others.

#Monsterdon 🌌👽 🛸🫣 ⁉️ 👨‍⚕️ 😱

"we all got ... involved ... in the same dream"

We did, Chris. We are.

it wasn't the moon, it wasn't a dream, it wasn't a dream moon, it wasn't a moon dream, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME G'KAR?!

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

I kinda wanna see Walken's character start sculpting w some kind of vegetable.

#Monsterdon

i did not see walken being 'picked up' by the light beam as much as being contacted by a finger through the light beam, unfortunately, so i cannot check off that square #monsterdon #monsterdonBingo

The Moon...is Moon?

#monsterdon

He can't tell dreams from reality, that part checks out for a writer. #Monsterdon

aromatic compounds! hahahahah.

what a great joke

#monsterdon

That's professor Walsh from Buffy. 😲 #Monsterdon

"We saw some aliens, they triggered all our bigfoot traps. Gonna have to spend all morning resetting them all."

#Monsterdon #Communion #Communion1989

Uhhhh... Indian what now?

#Monsterdon

He pays a fortune for that system. & this guy is a writer? Hm #Monsterdon

Out like me? #Monsterdon #Communion1989

#Predator2, one of the few movies where the aliens come into city. 👍

#Monsterdon #Communion

I know Streiber wrote the screenplay, but most of the dialogue so far feels almost completely improvised. #monsterdon

You have to excuse Walken in that kid scene, he had just found out about the existence of children earlier that day #Monsterdon

Okay so two couples had a 'fun night' & they all had bad dreams. How unusual. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Did that alien just stick a knife in Christofer Walken's head?

Well, shoot. They just had to include the racism #Monsterdon

so, we're all agreed this is a swingers weekend, yes?

#monsterdon #Communion1989

Redfoot sending Walken a C/D letter.

#Monsterdon

Get away from the light Carol Anne #monsterdon #communion1989

Walken attempting to comfort a child is....rough...

#monsterdon

Christopher Walken is completely Walken’ing it up!

#Monsterdon

This feels like that bit in Airplane in the cabin w/ the visiting kid. #Monsterdon
