That's the flattest hind-parts I've ever seen in my life. #monsterdon
So⦠this vampire movie is eventually about something other than vampires boning, right?
Not sure if I would normally watch a film like this, but here we are.
#Monsterdon
This is starting to look like a French film #monsterdon
If you're an 80s woman with short hair you MUST run your fingers through it contemplatively
NGL if I was a vampire I'd smoke *constantly* because what's the worst it could do to me?
i like my movies like i like my coffee: dark and almost completely opaque
Always choose a hat for its dramatic silhouette potential, that's what I say
I want a boinky scene where the music is high and the intensity is rising and the nipples are all tweaky and everything is So Serious And Passionate and then someone bends down and puts a zerbert right in someone else's belly
I'm not saying I have done this, but I'm not saying I have not done this
If you told me Catherine Deneuve and Sean Connery had both played originally-Egyptian immortals, I wouldnβt have believed you, but here we are. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Twin towers... they missed editing that outβ¦
this movie is a bit of a sensory assault
#monsterdon
so these vampires, they have to _lap_ up the blood? Like _barbarians?_
I bet rich people have their own crematoria....
Plot twist: the monkeys then went to the lab of 28 days later #monsterdon #TheHunger
Making out and tiddies and....angry caged monkeys WTF is happening here why is...this? #Monsterdon
This movie is about *vampirism*...right?
I think they shocked the monkey
more movies need to start by cutting frantically between bauhaus and ominous leather vampires
Bowie energy is strong #monsterdon
This was originally a film about nerd vampires but they switched out at the last minute
#Monsterdon
#TheHunger1983
Sings "David Bow-ie is in your tits"
They should have fed the monkey before getting preoccupied #monsterdon
Were people still smoking real cigarettes in the movies in 1983?
why would someone be having sex when they could be watching Bauhaus?
When the teacher is out of the room and Jessica wants to get frisky in front of the overhead projector
Bela Lugosi, (dead) Prisoner of Frankenstein.
#monsterdon This has arthouse plastered all over it... with a glue bucket

I'm a little late, but damn, strong start with the Bauhaus 80s vibe!
anyone else getting some serious Matrix vibes
Banging 80s soundtrack so far with Bauhaus
nobody told me Peter Murphy was in this #monsterdon
Off in the corner, Neo is telling Trinity that he thought she was a guy
peter murphy still collecting residuals in the nursing home #monsterdon
#Monsterdon The start of The Hunger rules.
Fun fact: Bauhaus made this song bc they were trying to get a sound reminiscent of Jamaican dub.
had this CD and also had it on my iPod back when those were a thing
ray-bans in the dark club is definitely a look

So far the movie understands its priorities: light the cheekbones correctly!!!
Opening credits with something that could plausibly be on MTV?
I can't remember if I've ever actually seen The Hunger but I am excited it is opening with a Bauhaus track.
Don't worry everyone
No rock legends were hurt in the making of this movie.
And bang, the dark spark that lights the goth subculture. #Monsterdon
The music's a little on the nose but I'll allow it.
i have not seen this film before!
Here we go! #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Iβm quite certain that I've never seen this movie... this will be something!
Representing Lemmy, Mastodon's fediverse sibling! #monsterdon
omfg i LOVE this tune
#Monsterdon
Hrm, Tubi has multiple movies by the name. I hope I chose the right one (wrong-hunger? wrong-frogs?)
5...4...3...2...1 All systems are GO!
WE GOT ALL THE SEXY SEXY VAMPIRES SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGN!!!
Spin us a web Mr Necromancer. Spin us a web tonight.
#Monsterdon #MrVampire
@forestine How can it be better o_o #monsterdon
I need to see this movie again when I have time to focus. The action comedy built around vampire rules... well it rules.
#Monsterdon #MrVampire
Learning a lot from this silly movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulu #monsterdon
@Louisa I think itβs both, where the youth think they are making the choice but Miriam is manipulative
@not3ottersinacoat @springdiesel
It's either because she drank her own blood when Sarah stabbed herself, or because Sarah rejected her offer of immortality, thus breaking the hold Miriam used to maintain her powah. π€·ββοΈ
All we have are weird theories.
You know, I thought choosing to be with Miriam even though you'd eventually fade away but not be able to die was a highlight on how eager we are to make lifelong promises when we're young and we don't know what we're promising
But it adds a nice evil dimension to it that they don't get to choose (Sarah didn't anyway), Miriam just takes someone she wants
So far this is giving me the same vibes as dellamorte dellamore
#Monsterdon
@diazona So much of the music was really beautiful. I want to know what I heard.
@jadebees oh huh that is weird
Thanks @Taweret for choosing this one as part of the October series, the first one I was able to sit down and watch. It had its moments #monsterdon
Just fought off Tubi's insistence that we watch Cabaret so we could watch the credits -- and no music credits! That was a complex soundtrack, a mix of classical, electronic, original score and more. Where were the copyright notices? Didn't ASCAP notice?
My only question is: what exactly was the brand of perfume this was telling me to buy?
@trixter Yes. It still hops. So it's the most wrong kind of frogs.
#Monsterdon #MrVampire
Fake teeth? HAH!
#Monsterdon #MrVampire
Thanks @Taweret & the #Monsterdon gang!
I like the log cabin style coffins.
#Monsterdon #MrVampire
i am sticking about in the background for the next film too
#Monsterdon
@hollie
You label it "Halloween Decorations", silly! :kermit:
@nev that was Michael Richards, right?
Anyway, I liked seeing Sigourney Weaver in something else than the Alien movies.
#monsterdon
The pigeons add a certain something to the scene #Monsterdon
well that film was something. at least it sort of had Bowie to look at in it. Thanks @Taweret @ryan & the #Monsterdon squad
@TerryHancock "better" in some senses for sure, but very much not in others (IMO)
Time for some Wrong Frogs.
Wrong Vampires?
#Monsterdon #MrVampire
time to take meds, listen to "Bela Lugosi's Dead" again, and go to bed at a reasonable hour
That was pretty darn good!
@starkraving666 Oh. Well. I could probably chip in a few more seconds for a good cause. #Monsterdon #TheHunger
That was moody and stylish. Fun times. Thanks for the laughs, Monster people! #Monsterdon
good show! thanks for hosting that one, might have to add it to my collection of Halloween films
Pretty sure this Schubert was used in Barry Lyndon too
This was actually quite breath taking in places. Definitely the most artistic movie we've done since I've been here! #Monsterdon
And, we're done. Fade to black. That's a wrap, even if the studio did muck about with the ending.
Good time again at the old #monsterdon with Tony Scott film
@strangefour Because of that, "Blade" is the sequel to this movie.
Okay, movie. You got me. 96:29 of my life, and I have no idea who or what I sacrificed it to. #Monsterdon #TheHunger
I think that needs a rewatch, alone, with a glass of Merlot and sunglasses. Thanks @Taweret π #monsterdon
So she didn't die. So what happened?
I am very confused by this ending. But much vibes and hot people, beautiful cinematography and Bauhaus. I like this movie a lot!
Great one, everyone. Thanks @Taweret for organizing and happy Monstergiving to all Canadians
Um... omg! #Monsterdon
Well that was a bad ending to an otherwise damn fine #monsterdon
Thanks for the selection @Taweret and everyone else for joining - especially @JoeWynne 's amazing trivia and @cherizilla 's bingo cards.
See y'all next week for another spooky time!
Bauhaus....disco group?!
Ok, so now that the movie is over they're going to explain what the heck that just was.
Right?
Right???
