This conversation between Michael Moriarty and his girlfriend feels like a scene in a classic musical where a character has their showstopping "It's my turn now" musical number. Like "Roxie" in Chicago or "Maybe This Time" in Cabaret. #Monsterdon
Thank goodness he's just drawing a bird ...
We have brought in a police composite sketch artist. Please describe the suspect in as much detail as possible... #monsterdon
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza It's been 23 years. People born afterwards have kids going to school this year.
#PleaseForgetAlready #Monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent
Is the commissioner BRITISH?!
i like how the cops in this are disbelieving but also practical about it? i find a lot of Larry Cohen's films have this sort of down-to-earth approach to weirdness #monsterdon
So no one in the entire city has ever definitively seen Q, because it's sunny and Q's always up in the sky? I think that's what's happening
The ominous music juxtaposed against the tops of buildings in broad daylight is... a choice
🦖 #MONSTERDON LOW BUDGET FILM SCHOOL 🎞️
Save 💵 by listening to the universe. Like Larry Cohen, who was fired from a big budget film shooting in New York.
🎥 Determined not to waste the hotel room he had paid for, he hired the actors and prepared a shooting script within six days for #QTheWingedSerpent
BTW, Q made 4X more $$ than that big budget film. 🤯
incredible Q drawing #monsterdon
Some things just stick with you (I didn't like the show, so my memory is of Telly Savalas's cadence).
More aerial shots, we need more aerial shots! #monsterdon
TROGDOR COMES IN THE NIGHT! #monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent
@CactuarJoe SEE? SEE? I kept my fucking mouth SHUT
OMG I AM DYING AT THESE TWIN TOWER SHOTS #monsterdon #qthewingedserpent
bush knocked down the towers #TellTheTruth #ItWasYou #monsterdon
@SnoopJ Y'know I was thinking the same...
Quinn 2024. #Monsterdon
Just divorce him already, or break up with him, or slap him, whatever you gotta do there.
Stop it with the dramatic music for shots of the world trade center!
A SECOND SERPENT HAS HIT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER!!
#Monsterdon #...TooSoon?
How is David Carradine two feet taller than a vending machine? How small are those soda cans in there?
#Monsterdon #QtheWingedSerpent
Dude wants to get the police to make his charges go away? Yeah, police don't have that kind of authority. But they can lie and tell you that they do!
#Monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent
Perhaps the serpent take Jimmy's beloved to get us to the climax? Who knows!
@YsengrinWolf Not according to movie physics
That is, assuming the physics makes as much sense as anything else in this movie
you got your melodrama in my #monsterdon!
"I coulda been someone. I coulda been a contender" Milk it Moriarty. #monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent
someone's got delusions of grandeur. guess who it is. guess.
the emotion in this scene is preposterous. who is this woman even #monsterdon
all my life i been a nobody, then i met an archaeopteryx
#monsterdon
"All my life I've been a nobody!"
And longer yet. #Monsterdon
"...I couldda been a contendah!"
Will he be eaten before he reads the fucking report
I'm a bit late but anyway it's weird to see Mike Moriarty on that side of the interrogation table. #monsterdon
Has David's half-brother, Bruce shown up yet? #monsterdon
Ah, I see. The angle of the third act is that Jimmy knows where the serpent's nest is, but he's got an angle on it.
That miniature coke vending machine is blowing my hair back. I remember machines like that in my childhood. There was one in my neighborhood bowling alley. #Monsterdon
Typical New Yorkers, blaming everything on New Jersey
@djg an AZTEC priest! #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Why did David just break the 4th wall there? Was he trying to say "Can you believe this dialogue?" I bet he was.
Call Col. Sanders #monsterdon
@moira https://boxd.it/4LEx dad in Lois & Clark, plus a ton of other stuff #monsterdon
like moriarty is acting while he's just standing there in teh background
"Report"? That binder is for computer printouts. Who did the props for this movie?
Me at work: "Will you shut up? That IS this case."
Hearing these cops try to deal with a large belligerent animal reminds me of that wanker cop who drove his car into the calf the other day, currently the UK's most hated man.
Cops do not have the skill set to deal with these sorts of things
@catzilla I'm imagining Q fishing someone out of the pool with a spoon
@Taweret I am not even sure of the purpose of his role in this film, except to simply hang out and Be Carradine #Monsterdon
"we forgot about you" just like this movie keeps forgetting about Carradine. #monsterdon
The Giant Claw's Revenge!
#Monsterdon #QtheWingedSerpent
It took this long for people to notice the big flying menace? #monsterdon
🐲 THE WINGED TRIVIA 🐉
David Carridine accepted the part without ever seeing a script. He needed the money.
he's dumb but he's not dumb enough not to hear opportunity knocking
@msh Good for us 😀
Every fucking person in this is a character actor who's been in a billion things, and I recognize them all, but can barely name three of them. #monsterdon #q
@diazona I figure since the creeping window washer there has been a bit of a pattern as if Bad Carma is delicious to dragons #Monsterdon
@CactuarJoe Turned out he was actually a nice layered torte. #isItCake #monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent
This movie is full of wonderful faces. They hardly let people who look like this be in the movies nowadays, and I think that's a shame.
Dude, dude, dude. What do you do when there are cops around?
You shut the fuck up!
Seriously, we should be teaching kids this in grade school.
#Monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent
Shaft really touching aggressively. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Is this detective also a phrenologist? Why is he manhandling his head like that?
Q is more of a flying lizard than a flying serpent.
These mobsters are getting crunched like pretzels and I'm here thinking, "If I found a velour hoodie like that at a flea market I'd make it my entire personality." #monsterdon
He's a complicated man!
I have a blazer kind of like Richard Roundtree's. He wears it better, trust me #monsterdon
Eat them! #Monsterdon
Where are they going?
Oh right yeah. Of course.
The star of the show, Mr Crysler's Building.
#Monsterdon #QtheWingedSerpent
I love shadow claw!
#Monsterdon
Was that his bones?? #monsterdon #qthewingedserpent
#Monsterdon Hey, at least this beast is not sexist, right?
quinn just assumes the position, he knows what's up. #monsterdon
you fool, Q likes ‘em wet! #monsterdon
Yoink! #monsterdon
@lysdexic the CLAW decides WHO STAYS and WHO DIES
Whoa, the shots of the dude in the grasp of the serpent were really good!
I have to question Q's logic at eating the guy in the water rather than the three women chilling on the side
Seems inefficient
(though the guy probably deserved it more)
Oh please, please stop playing the piano #Monsterdon
man, that Q is one hungry guy. #monsterdon
omg lady muscles
shut up dude be grateful for your eyeballs
Man those mobsters crunched like they were filled with breakfast cereal. #monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent
I love the model
#monsterdon
Why is Quetlcoatl on this Moriarty's side? #monsterdon #q
I'm amazed the puppet from The Giant Claw was still in such good condition after all these years.
#Monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent
Gotta give it to Quinn that is a clever way to get rid of those mob thugs plus his new pet dragon will be happier for awhile now that it is well fed #Monsterdon
Okay, we're solidly in the second act now. I assume Jimmy is going to come into contact with the cops at some point, but who knows how we'll get there.
Who knew that eating a mobster sounded just like eating Doritos? #Monsterdon
Thank you.
Man, those om nom sounds are so visceral
I wanna know who did the foley, this film is like a misophonia *nightmare* #Monsterdon
This song is painfully bad. Sing what ya see I guess? Wait did Randy Newman write this song?
#Monsterdon #QtheWingedSerpent
you really can't eat just one!
Crunchy!
I kind of wonder if this is the first time anything Jimmy planned actually worked. #monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent
crumch cronkh chomp
Jimmy is an even worse crook than he is a pianist #monsterdon
mmm potato chips <3
I really like this mobster's velour hoodie. #monsterdon
Everyone should have a hideout for taking gangsters to in an emergency. #monsterdon
