we're gonna go from arty to straight up shlock next week with Pumpkinhead

#Monsterdon

If the movie has…
1. Two named female characters
2. They talk to each other
3. They swap blood
The movie passes the Bechdel Lugosi Test

#monsterdon

“Yesterday I was thirty years old,” yeah me too, dude, it’s ridiculous

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

and she lived sexy and ambiguously vampiric ever after

ty for joining everyone!!

#Monsterdon

Sarah chooses death. on purpose while freshly turned. She says 'Forever? No.'

that choice fractures the whole system. It's the first refusal Miriam has ever encountered. her power depends on emotional dominance, not just blood and Sarah’s autonomy undoes her

#Monsterdon

I think this might actually be the most smoking we've seen in one movie

#Monsterdon

starting to feel like this polycule has some issues

#Monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

 🧛‍♀️🧛   TRIVIA HUNGER 🧛‍♀️🧛

Ruined ending continued

"All the rules that we'd spent the entire film delineating, that Miriam lived forever and was indestructible, and all the people that she transformed [eventually all] died, and that I killed myself rather than be an addict [was ignored]. Suddenly I was kind of living, she was kind of half dying... Nobody knew what was going on, and I thought that was a shame."

#TheHunger1983

I'll watch emo Bowie slink around his luxury apartment to cello music all night. Treat yourself, right? #Monsterdon

Me at the beginning of the film.
Me at the end.
#monsterdon

people say that vampires can't have friends because friends would notice you not aging and eventually be like "what gives" but honestly if one of my friends kept looking young forever i would just be like "nice, none of my business." you never know what someone's situation is and it's not my place to judge. #monsterdon

Wait, so ALL HER EXES ARE STACKED IN BOXES IN THE ATTIC??!!?

Holy crap this got dark(er) fast

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

 🧛‍♀️🧛   TRIVIA HUNGER 🧛‍♀️🧛

Ruined Ending

Studio execs changed the ending to keep Susan Sarandon's character alive - for sequel purposes. She said later in an interview,

"The thing that made the film interesting to me was this question of, 'Would you want to live forever if you were an addict?' But as the film progressed, the powers that be rewrote the ending and decided that I wouldn't die, so what was the point?

(quotation continued)

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🧛‍♂️ 💞 🧛‍♀️ 💞 🥧 🍩 😱

"Going to Switzerland" is gonna be my new euphamism for climbing into a coffin in the attic with some white doves

Imagine living like four thousand years, only to be brought down by Susan Sarandon

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

This movie is all sex and violins

#Monsterdon

well now i guess it really is a horror film

every ex in the same room at the same party

plus pigeons for some reason

#monsterdon #TheHunger1983

This isn't how polyamory works, just saying

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

<George Takei voice> Ooohhhh MYYY

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Well, that movie was 100% vibes-driven. And yet I can't complain, because I enjoy ladies making out. Goodnight Monsterdon, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, and see y'all next week!

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

thinking about it, if you were 300 years old what skills would be the pretty much the same those 300 years, but playing instruments?

These days, you'd have some 100 year old vampire programmer, skilled in a code almost dead but somehow runs our nuclear reactors.

I'm not saying I'm pro-vampire, I'm just coming around to some ideas, that's all....(maybe a podcast, hmmm, /s)

#Monsterdon

Whenever we move out of a house, I too leave a little pile of rubble and a polaroid of myself

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Suck Like An Egyption

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

absolutely drenched in sweat from coming down with a case of gay #monsterdon

she's scared, you haven't even shown her any of her freaking powers yet, you're approaching this all wrong. go flying and turn into bats and shit first before you tell her that she belongs to you forever #monsterdon

This just proves again that once David Bowie is out of the picture, everything goes to hell

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

If someone doesn't turn on an interior light soon I'm going to lose it

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

There's a lot I don't understand about how vampires go undetected for centuries and incinerators in the basement is near the top of the list

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

They make kissing in the shower without drowning look so easy

#Monsterdon

Well we know shes comes back eventually because she develops a taste for baseball players

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

I did appreciate they managed to work in a real estate deal right at the end. Vampire tradition, you know. #Monsterdon

okay team, I THINK it's bc Susan Sarandon played a uno reversal by cutting herself and making Deneuve drink her blood, so now Sarandon is the new Alpha Vampire.

#monsterdon

"Everlasting life."

Well, 200 years or so. Everlasting only in the Gobstopper sense. #Monsterdon

the question this movie poses is whether or not it is worth living forever trapped in a coffin in exchange for 200 years with Catherine Deneuve #monsterdon

Seriously why is this happening to him but not her? Is it like, because he's her minion or something? Let that be a lesson to all you minion wannabes I guess

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

"You said forever. I want to speak to your manager."

#monsterdon

okay, large swathes of that movie didn't make logical sense, but let's face it, the sheer bisexuality meant that no one cared.

#monsterdon

Okay once again, how do you get the screaming coffin through customs - isn't that London? CLEARLY there are vampire-run airlines

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Wait, WHY is she growing older?

Like, her exes got really mad at her? Was that the catalyst? I Have Put Up With Enough Of Your Bullshit, Now Age

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Okay, I just saw his shoes. Yeah I'm okay with him dying.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Apparently her bra dissolves in alcohol. #Monsterdon

"Are you lonely? Now that your husband is... Away."

🚥 I'M COMING ON TO YOU, MIRIAM 🚥 PLEASE NOTICE BEFORE I EXPLODE 🚥 #Monsterdon

Heh. Doc's having her first awkward lesbian crush. It's kinda cute. #Monsterdon

Maybe I'll go make tea while this innocent annoying gum-chewing violist is ripped apart by elder blood-sucking Bowie

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

He should take advantage of this time and get as many senior discounts as possible. #Monsterdon

"Yesterday I was thirty years old."

And you had been thirty years old for how long, again? #Monsterdon

tonight's lesson is, less studio interference, more David Bowie.

#monsterdon

shit. my wife is slightly distant at dinner. guess it's time to liberate the trapped vampiric soul shard from her by systematically staking everyone she has had contact with recently until she is more interested in the things i have to say #monsterdon

Remember restaurant pools in the 80's? Those were the days

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Only halfway through and Bowie is already boxed with the birds, I feel betrayed, what can possibly be left for us

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Calling it now, Susan continues her research into vampirism and eventually becomes the world's first bisexual lich queen. #Monsterdon

No ocean in which to off fuck? I don't understand.
Oh well, many thanks to @Taweret !

#monsterdon

Bold scientific assertion, to take an anomalous blood sample from your colleague and declare it to be "not human"

#Monsterdon

"I want a straight answer from you!"

"It's a bit too late for that."

#Monsterdon

Oh Alice CAVENDER not Cadaver

#monsterdon

See, this is why we started keeping tabs on kids after the 80's

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Look, just push him down. A fractured hip will be the cleanest break he's ever had in a relationship. #Monsterdon

Bad Grandpa starring David Bowie

#monsterdon

I don't know what he's so confused about, this is a perfectly normal reaction to waiting two hours in a doctor's office. #Monsterdon

@kshernandez can you get senior discounts at the blood bank?

#monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Bring back rollerskates

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Leonard Nimoy is over on the other side of the book store hocking his relationship book and turning folk into pod people #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I don’t have enough cocaine or Bauhaus for this. That was experiential.

@Taweret so Miriam is an ancient control freak with a loose grasp on truth
#Monsterdon

This concludes this scheduled #monsterdon of “The Hunger”

This film is rated A for ART.

the movie ended like it began: poorly lit and with a lot of visual weight on things I have very little reason to care about

someone earlier compared this movie to BLADE RUNNER and I think I could agree in that they are both pretty to look at and extremely boring to watch (although not in the same ways)

have a nice week everyone!

#Monsterdon

hopefully whoever buys this place has heard of lamps.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon eternal life sure doesn't last long.

#monsterdon a pair of people each committing 52 murders a year seems like it would be noticed. Even in a big city.

I am fighting *so hard* to not just keep making constant jokes about a hunger for pussy...

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

"I'm going to bring someone to you."

Drinking blood on the first date, a threesome on the second? Jesus lady, "moving fast" doesn't begin to cover it. #Monsterdon

You'd think that jacket would reflect some light BUT NO

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

#monsterdon I'm no expert, but I think she IS making a pass at her.

She flirts as well as I do

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

YES. ART VAMPIRES GO TO MoMA.

#monsterdon

you know this room smells dusty as fuck, vampires literally never clean their houses because dust and cobwebs and old lanterns and shit are part of their whole culture #monsterdon

Hopefully she's delivering light bulbs

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

@Taweret That seems like something she should let people know beforehand

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

i told you bro

i told you about stairs

i warned you bro

#monsterdon #TheHunger1983

sir, there are a billion people at that hospital, you could have gone down to the billing department and taken care of business.

#monsterdon

Nice music kid, but shouldn't you be smoking?

#monsterdon

lol, nurse doesn't notice David Bowie has aged 20 years while she was on the phone

#Monsterdon

"Look at me!"

You're David Bowie, dude, plenty of people are already looking at you. #Monsterdon

This is the most convoluted setup to get a CPAP prescription

#monsterdon

“Won’t someone think of the CHILDREN!”

#monsterdon

Smoking must be amazing when you're a vampire. Like, what are you gonna do, die of lung cancer? Pff. #Monsterdon

so almost 3/4ths of the weird pie got eaten tonight during #monsterdon so I think that makes it a keeper ^_^

#baking

The first time I saw this, it was actually for college credit. Huzzah for Intro to Film Studies!

#Monsterdon

I think I most identified with Willem Dafoe's character in that movie. Hanging around a phonebooth, waiting for smartphones and social media to be invented.

#monsterdon

Fantastic! Moody, artsy, and a great addition to the movies I keep in my top drawer behind my socks where my mom won't find them. 👵⚠️ Thanks @Taweret and the #Monsterdon crew!

[JVC]🚕

That was a pretty chaste kiss, forgive her, she's new at this whole lesbian thing

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Huh. Maybe you CAN have too high a body count. #Monsterdon

load-bearing lesbian died so Draculady's world is collapsing

#Monsterdon

So no teeth for these vampires? They need little necklace blades to get the job done? How do they get through TSA?

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

(Sterling Archer voice) Wait, wait, I totally had something for this

Hemoglobin Replacement Therapy

#Monsterdon

"Are you making a pass at me, Mrs. Blaylock?"

Would you? Please? Right now? #Monsterdon

I love that The Hunger is the myth of being a vampire in New York and What We Do In The Shadows is the reality

#Monsterdon

He's driving that vehicle way too fast for that neighbourhood, people are smoking cigarettes here!

#Monsterdon

Wait, so two hundred years and he never looked in the ATTIC??? #Monsterdon
