Ah, and suddenly as if on cue: EGG
That's no moon ...
I think I will climb up to the top of this crappy building here
never been afraid of heights. you will be by the time this movie is over. #monsterdon
I think we all know that fire retardant is useless against a dragon. #Monsterdon
@CactuarJoe THANCUAARYYYYY
@jonny So was the sky snake responsible for the splayed person inside the hotel room? Because if so, there are continuity issues with that.
#Monsterdon
#LateForMonsterdon
Security guard is *so* excited to maybe finally shoot somebody ...
@jchaven Subtle innuendoes follow!
Must be something inside!
@srol all #monsterdon predictions should come from people that are asleep through most of the movie and wake up just long enough to say something prophetic
It's been entirely too long since the monster killed someone
π² THE WINGED TRIVIA π
How was the idea for Q: The Winged Serpent hatched?
According to interviews, writer-director Larry Cohen once looked at the Chrysler Building and said: "That'd be the coolest place to have a nest."
He goes through the revolving door and Kermit and the Muppets come out going the other way. #Monsterdon
The Chrysler Building: because even monsters need a penthouse suite #monsterdon
If she just put a mask over her eyes, why did she know to scream? #monsterdon
Looks like he really shoot himself on the nuts
#monsterdon
you know he's safe from superman in that phone booth
a fuckin WHEEL MAN who can't find his KEYS are you shitting me
Itβs callled NEIL DIAMONDS #monsterdon
Mom: Michael Moriarty is a method actor so does that mean everyone had to listen to him scatting day and night while this was filming? #Monsterdon
"Neil Diamonds"? Is that a joke? Normally I wouldn't ask but with Larry Cohen movies you can never tell
Back when diamonds still mattered to people
NEIL DIAMONDS I AM Q I SAID
"Could blow my nuts off"
You're not THAT good of a shot, chief. #Monsterdon
glad ive learned the Least Suspicious way to hold a briefcase now
#Monsterdon
As someone who lives in Manhattan, it's actually pretty cool to see the city where I lived circa early 80s #Monsterdon
"The Gang Hires a Pianist" #monsterdon
Please kill the guy at the piano, serpent #monsterdon
they call it scatting for good reason
#Monsterdon
piano bit just keeps going huh
This tune is called "we can't afford music royalties" in D major
NOT A MOVIE WITHOUT RANDY NEWMAN
We just want you to improv some shit on the piano. We know you have no talent for this. Go nuts. #monsterdon #q
Puppy hates the blues, I guess
Is this Agent Coulson from Agents of SHIELD playing the piano? #monsterdon
Moriarty's face says, 'I can't believe I'm in a movie about a giant flying lizard.' #monsterdon
Universe. I can't get over the fact that Mr. Moriarty looks *just* like a guy I worked with in Germany for 6 months.
Now the true horror begins
Pretty sure one of those street extras was Paul McCartney
#monsterdon
Looks like someone overdid it with the ketchup packets #monsterdon
Sign said Chicken B.O. ??
#monsterdon
Is every man in this movie a creep? #monsterdon
Topless tanning on the skyscraper? Do you want the winged serpent, lady? Because that's how you get the winged serpent.
80s movie and therefore boobies
Pro tip: Always carry around an extra skin with you, just in case.
#Monsterdon
βYouβd better step outside, son. You donβt want see this.β Itβs a little late buddy. #monsterdon
Gratuitous titties are my favorite kind
Ah, Michael Moriarty: the man, the myth, the 'What is he doing in this movie? #monsterdon
oo, spicy. that's less than five minutes and two murders so far. #Approve #monsterdon
Honestly, that boy didn't looked fussed about the skinned man
HEY HEY, CRIME SCENE HERE! Throwing a pillow on the corpse!
#monsterdon
#monsterdon started good. David Carradine made a little nepotism searching for a spot for Bruce.
This in NYC right?
this is a very new york movie #monsterdon
Guys, he's already decapitated, no need to rush!
That was a nice 80s Scream! β
Yeah, what do you want me, an investigator do, investigate! Don't make me laugh!
#monsterdon
"...you ever drop a cantaloupe from forty stories"
"Who hasn't?"
Time to first kill: 2 minutes 39 seconds. A promising start.
Why yes I have dropped a canteloupe from 40 stories.
Fucking excellent fatality! #monsterdon
NEW YORK CITY (present day) #Monsterdon
Ah, New York City... where even the rats have attitude. #monsterdon
Michael Moriarty, eh?
Got my #Monsterdon treats, now I don't have to turn the oven back on until Thursday
We have theramin in the first 30 seconds. Gotta be good. #monsterdon
i should've got pretzelcoatls for my snack #monsterdon
I don't give a flying Zarkoff about this production.
I'm on Tubi for #Monsterdon and the movie is posted there twice! One is a minute longer. :neocat_confused:
So, in tonight's #monsterdon why did the hero's lawyer give back the money?
Once you've got the money, don't give it back without a fight! Don't they teach that in lawyer school?
Tonight's #monsterdon kept taking me to The Dark (1979). Have we done that one already? I feel like we might've.
One thing I want to know: did the film makers have to hire a unionized sketch artist to draw this prop, or did Carradine draw it himself? #monsterdon
@RobynGoodfellow IF I CAN [CHOMP CHOMP] MAKE IT THERE I'LL MAKE IT
Well, of all the movies I've seen, that was certainly one of them. #Monsterdon
"I'll be playing piano somewhere, I'm pretty good" oh, oh buddy...oh no #Monsterdon
For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about Q β The Winged Serpent (1982).
Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gears & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"
... and you're done.
@CactuarJoe Blocked. #Monsterdon
@clayknight TBH it's more because I was already planning to watch some Psych (and because it's probably my favorite show)
From now on I will ALWAYS vote for the film with the Mime Cop in it. #monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent
@strangefour @Taweret Quetzalcoatl was pretty likable. #monsterdon #q
That movie had pretty strong The Night Stalker vibes except that had likable characters. #monsterdon
@diazona @jsadow "evil dream" or something like that i think #monsterdon
@jsadow Oh I don't remember, it was in the end credits though
@liferstate Yeah, I mean that's what I'm guessing as well, it just seems so funny that such a little thing has a name and a credit
@davesdogmaggie it's no goncharov i'll say that
#Monsterdon #QtheWingedSerpent Cinema!
Basically no one is likeable, but I love the whole concept of this monster movie and always have. Q is a great underrated monster. She deserved better.
#Monsterdon #QtheWingedSerpent
Thanks for another watchalong monster time @Taweret
anyway that was fun nice job everybody and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting ^_^
#monsterdon what a movie
I give it 2/5 dragons, and only that many because we love NYPD getting murdered by dragons
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting another wonderful creature flick!
βI cannot do it until you say the prayerβ #Monsterdon
Almost got David Carradine, darn it! #Monsterdon #QtheWingedSerpent
omg that ending #monsterdon
I think Quetzacoatl wanted to take a selfie with Carradine.
#Monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent
Of *course* this was going to end without any real development, except that poor Quetzalcoatl got shot down before getting to chomp on nearly enough New Yorkers... I think I am coming down on the pro-sequel side so we can #Monsterdon it
Thanks as always for hosting @Taweret!
holding out for Q 2: Somehow Itβs Still All the Same People. thanks all for another great #monsterdon and to @Taweret for hosting!
My family absolutely enjoyed Godzilla Minus One and we just watched it again on Netflix. I decided that if weβre going to see the absolute best Godzilla movie, we should also watch the absolute worst one. We then watched the 1998 Sony Tristar Godzilla #Monsterdon
