THAT WAS A PUN

#Monsterdon

@Violinknitter maybe the film is contrasting modernist dissonance with previous musical eras 😉

#Monsterdon

There is literally no way you can see his eyes, kid

#Monsterdon

This is the most difficult vampire meal I think I've ever seen in #Monsterdon

My God, this man is aging like a discount avocado. #Monsterdon

One of my biggest pet peeves is exactly this, actors who don't even get the bowing anywhere near right. I have to look away!

#Monsterdon

David Bowie is going to be rejuvenated through the power of music!

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Winner, most unrealistic blood splatter ever

#monsterdon

Statues still count as 80s movie titty. #Monsterdon #TheHunger

Surprise Iggy Pop soundtrack

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

of the classic halloween stories told so often on film, my favorite is the John Hughes adaptation of Frankenstein....#monsterdon Loved the tv series too.

My God... this guy has experienced all the horrors of getting older in America in one day.

Including being called a "stupid old fuck" #Monsterdon

This movie interestingly moody, but really weird for implying that David Bowie wouldn't still look hot over 50.
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

See, creepy ringing tones

We hates them, we hates them forever!

#Monsterdon

this movie makes me feel like I'm still in a hospital waiting room.

#monsterdon

that really was iggy pop, funtime #monsterdon

I'm not a film making dude, but like. I'm imagining some storyboard or script that's like. "He sits in the waiting room smoking cigarettes and then we cut to a roller skater."

#monsterdon

Did David Bowie just stab Thoth? #centralparkdeepcut #monsterdon

“You stupid old fuck!”

Hits hard under the current admin.

#Monsterdon

Rollerskating to Bauhaus attracts vampires #monsterdon #TheHunger

Heck yeah! Roller Skates and a ghetto blaster is the way to live.... Scratch that.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon What in the heck with the atmospheric roller-skating.. this isn't Flashdance!

What kind of vampires need a knife to have blood ? They don't have fangs?
#monsterdon

Excellent old man makeup.

#Monsterdon

now we cut to flashdance with skates on??
#Monsterdon

OK I do kind of remember there being a plot summary on the IMDB page and I do not recognize any of it in what's happening on screen right now

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

The music is a bigger part of this than I remember. And the sound design. The foley is kind of high and full of reverb.

Bowie's heart pounding bisexually #Monsterdon

isn't he a vampire? why doesn't he just turn into a mist and go find that doctor?!?

#monsterdon

lol, was that guy smoking a cigar on the toilet?

#Monsterdon

"I'm going to find out if it kills me."

Be careful what you wish for.

#Monsterdon #Hunger1983

these are some creepy scientists
hey lets go watch things die on a monitor for funsies!
#Monsterdon

This is all very creepy and well done, but why would an aging disorder cause a corpse to decay abnormally fa—okay, okay, I'll shut up and watch

#Monsterdon

WTF does time lapsed decomposition have to do with the aging process?

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Honestly, impressive to make it to the equivalent of 129

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Yeah aging badly is part of why you don’t smoke, yknow?

#monsterdon

NOT enjoying the cruelty to animals angle in this.
#Monsterdon

These people have a horrible job. #Monsterdon #TheHunger

Can we stop with the monkey torture part of the movie?

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Smoking not permitted but the room still has ashtrays? #monsterdon

My God, this dude is gonna rot right there! #Monsterdon

I think they smoke so much because espresso was unknown back then #monsterdon

It's wild how this movie has more smoking than most 50s films.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Every now and then he falls apart

#monsterdon #TheHunger1983

@CactuarJoe #monsterdon

to be fair, the doctors are smoking too...

Who wore it better? #Monsterdon #TheHunger

The look and feel of this film keeps reminding me of Liquid Sky.

#monsterdon

Sister notes a similar aesthetic vibe to Labyrinth.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger

Just realized this is directed by Tony Scott....you may also be familiar with the work of his brother, Ridley Scott.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger

SO MANY HATS.
SO MANY CIGARETTES.

#Monsterdon

Ah yes the "salami beats cheese" moment... I'm glad I have a sandwich lined up for dinner

(at 14:40-ish runtime)

#Monsterdon

I may not fully grasp the plot, but I am certain about one thing. This movie wants us to enjoy a rich and tasty cigarette. #Monsterdon

we had a halloween mix CD that used this exact same voice echo effect with a guy saying “you have to go back, before it’s too late!” #monsterdon

HATS! HATS HATS HATS HATS.

#Monsterdon

I too like to shout in the back of a fan to make my voice sound funny

#monsterdon

I think the billowing curtains thing is Kurosawa's influence, everyne saw the wind in his films and wanted the atmospherics.

#Monsterdon

@hollie
She's flaunting it, it's disgusting!

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

 🧛‍♀️🧛   TRIVIA HUNGER 🧛‍♀️🧛

Love is in the Lair

It wasn't until 2014 that Susan Sarandon told The Daily Beast that she had an affair with David Bowie during production.

For her part, Catherine Deneuve hooked up with cameraman Hugh Johnson and they lived together for about two years afterwards.

#TheHunger1983

They had comically tiny TVs in the 1980s #monsterdon

everyone's glasses in this movie are impeccable

#Monsterdon

Good grief have they never heard of lightbulbs?

#Monsterdon

almost no lights in the house, book signing, hospital #Monsterdon

Relationship between blood type and aging? Yes - all blood types age

#monsterdon
#Hunger

I love mysterious women wearing hats and veils, I should go to work like that and just sit there being mysterious #monsterdon #TheHunger

NGL this is hard to snark on, everything about this is screaming important fancy film. The first bedroom scene with the cello, you can tell the director had one of those expensive railroad-track things they use to pan the camera with, I don't recall the last time we had that happen in a #monsterdon offering. We usually have the budget for a radio flyer wagon with the cameraman sitting in it, being pulled along by whoever isn't in the scene at that given moment. #theHunger1983

OK, I was stuffing my face with popcorn for a bit. Did I miss the explanation of what the teenager with the strategic quaalude reserve has to do with the other characters?

#Monsterdon

This movie is good for what veils ya

#Monsterdon

@nsmckinnon Pira-nyah #monsterdon

Shall we appreciate how effortlessly stylish she dresses for walking around a hospital?

#Monsterdon

First he plays cello, and now he breaks out the cartoons. He truly is a renaissance vampire. #Monsterdon

This is like Blade Runner levels of darkness inside buildings

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

the politics of sleeping

the politics of ooooOooOoo drinking blood

the politics of book club

oh-oh-oh

#monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Is the sex over yet? My lesbian brain fell asleep during most of that.

#monsterdon #thehunger

last thing i watched with Susan Sarandon was Rocky Horror

#monsterdon

getting old you say? hang on i have to check my attic portrait while discordant music plays #monsterdon

Quaalude-dispensing teenager is…huh

#monsterdon

lol, Bowie's awkward photo

#Monsterdon

It's more than a movie, it is a cultural exposition on love, loss, blood drinking, and sex. #monsterdon

Kids don't chew gum these days, that's what is wrong....

#Monsterdon

The woman's secret is blow #monsterdon

I feel like this kid is not long for this mortal world

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

And then we suddenly shift into "Golden Years" ... wah wah wah

#Monsterdon #TheHunger

If you want to cure progeria you might want to learn how to pronounce it

#Monsterdon

"these are not your standard vampires" I guess #Monsterdon

"That's a $2000 monkey you're talking about"—it always bugs me about The Fly how easily Jeff Goldblum is able to get his hands on monkeys for experiments

#Monsterdon

He's not remembering hundreds of years ago, he's just remembering when they were really active in their local Society for Creative Anachronism chapter

#Monsterdon

Why is Susan Sarandon so angry at her hair

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

"You look awful!"
SHUT UP KID. David Bowie is flawless. #monsterdon #TheHunger

"Sleep and Longevity"

Working on it...

#Monsterdon

Whoops, getting a late start to #Monsterdon today

This movie wastes no time at all getting weird though

@yatsu How can you tell he's unshaven? Ohh... #monsterdon

This part feels like Videodrome. #Monsterdon #TheHunger

Susan Sarandon is such a fox.

#Monsterdon

This is Tony Scotts first movie. His next one was Top Gun :° #monsterdon

And now, *Bach* to the vampires.

Thank you.

#Monsterdon

How you tell they're rich vampires: they have full-time cellists.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger

"Forever and ever" is something a tradwife would say #monsterdon

Lol even the scientists are wearing sunglasses in the dark

#Monsterdon

That would be a $7,500 monkey these days.

#Monsterdon

OK, candidate for best line in the movie so far: be careful, that's a $2000 monkey you're talking about.

#Monsterdon
