So basically:
Miriam was using her thralls like a kind of power generator, using them to fuel her eternal life. When Susan drank her blood, it broke her bond to her batteries and she spontaneously collapsed. Now Susan gets to create her own eternally dying boyfriend power generator in her attic! You go girl! #Monsterdon
Gotta say Susan Sarandon's character really won that battle, didn't she?
I want to live as an immortal bisexual vampire in the Barbican!
That was kind of a longish abrupt ending.
I don't know what's happening, but I also don't care
It's cool how she can layer her screams as she falls
So is Miriam gonna baby bird this guy's hemoglobin into her mouth, or...? #Monsterdon
If it can happen to Bella and Edward it can happen to Susan Sarandon
Well, she's clearly knocked up with a vampire baby
"And we had this sherry in these fancy little glasses and..."
WE FUCKED just say it christ WE FUCKED #Monsterdon
[thinking about lesbian sex] she's⦠european
I'm counting Susan Surandon's *gestures* as a series of Careless Mistakes and declaring #MonsterdonBingo
with the kind of time catherine deneuve has she should play some ancient egyptian music that has been lost to musical history and claim it as her own so that she can like slowly influence the direction of musical culture over generations until all the music on the radio is stuff she likes because she made it #monsterdon
I saw someone earlier say that the imagery is all that stuck with them from this film
and at an hour in, I can see why. there doesn't seem to be very much else that could stick
it does look nice though
hey folks, how do I play this movie in 2.5x speed?
It's hilarious peeking in on the commentary here, I can see what (terrible) part the movie's at in my head π
"I don't usually get a smile at that."
Well I don't usually get lunch that delivers itself, so #Monsterdon
#monsterdon What I'm learning from this movie and last week's is that Vampires are drawn to really weird buildings.
Once again, the old eating the young. #Monsterdon
We never saw David Bowie get old enough to be "Old Man Staring At The Monolith" old π
Stupid Reality
Bowie considers a meal on wheels, declines because [reason elided for runtime]
Wow so you age faster AND the speed of time increases, that's a fascinating blood abnormality
Smoking in a hospital. Yeah, I think Mr. Bowie deserves whatever happens next. #Monsterdon
The smoking per minute of this movie is off the charts.
#Monsterdon #TheHunger
Iβd already have hit the panic button under my desk #Monsterdon
Okay now Bowie just looks like Judge Doom.
"What am I going to do??!!"
Well you're going to put out some incredible albums...
I'm assuming the "Regret" on the bingo card has to be in-universe?
Quaaludes? You may know it by itβs street names: Moonage Daydream, Starman, Queen Bitch, Rebel Rebel, Fame, Young Americansβ¦
So the aging happens to everyone but her? What's that about?
"Pro-ge-ree-ah" is this movie's "sym-bye-oat." #Monsterdon
he's drinking blood with her, but he's thinking of cellos
"Forever?"
Well iunno, I may go to grad school next year. #Monsterdon
You can tell it's the 80s because everyone has sunglasses like a Trigun villain. #Monsterdon
@Taweret this makes way too much logical sense for what I just watched
The moral of the story is⦠smoking kills
that appeared to be boobs, smoking, goths, blood, sex, death and then roll credits. is that the plot?
#Monsterdon
the somber thoughtful walk of a dude who knows he's just missed the boat on the best 200 years of his life #monsterdon
Will no one think of the pigeons?
This is why you lock your freezer, Miriam
"you'll never grow old" ya know, until 100 years or so from now, when you'll really have some trouble, but c'est la vie
@hollie Unfortunately Steve Martin is not in this film (though having seen the musical Little Shop of Horrors as a WrongFrogs a bit ago I can never not picture him in that leather outfit, so he'd fit right in if he was...)
"Split up with the boyfriend" she says, drenched in blood and grinning
This is like most vampire fiction these days, sexy vampire fiction
"Crypto dudes", i'd feed off them and throw their bodies in the trash, would History judge this vampire?
lol, this guy. the difference between what he thinks his night is going to be like and the way it's actually going to turn out is frankly hysterical. #monsterdon
Underrated part of vampire fiction is phone tag. #Monsterdon
Look the circular minibar is COOL AS HELL
See the problem here is that now we're gonna have like a half an hour of the doc awkwardly pretending to still be interested in her boyfriend. #Monsterdon
ma'am, i'm pretty sure YOU've been making passes at her. let's be honest with ourselves here.
Just one more thing, maβamβ¦ Iβm sure everything is Hunky Dory, but has your husband been Dancing In The Street with Mick Jagger?
Yes it's time to go full-on Carmilla here, miss #Monsterdon
lol, cannot get over how much Tony Scott crammed pigeons and doves into his movies, it's like he's a hack magician...
....anyway, this living death in a box thing is a pretty genuinely horrifying thought so well done
"Darling, I'm stacking you here with the others...."
What's the pigeon ecosystem here?
ah yes, Tallis. Music to Rot in a Grave Undying To.
"Kill me, Miriam."
C'mon Miriam. Miriam are you gonna kill me now? How about now? Now? Now? #Monsterdon
Putting my Bowie down was one of the hardest things I had to do
#monsterdon And then he dies of old age. The end.
Bowie is now Bowieβs dad!
@CactuarJoe I kind of think the kid is the creepiest part of the movie.
I feel like the movie is Rick Rolling me
#Monsterdonπ§ββοΈ π π§ββοΈ π π₯§ π© π±
obligatory goth rollerskating scene
I too, have sat in waiting rooms and quietly aged...
Okay seriously is this 1980 or 1930? #Monsterdon
If the producers could trade the cigarettes for light bulbs, they could perhaps manage to light one of the scenes in this movie.
Bela Lugosi is dead (spoiler alert)
"Don't obstruct my deductions" - this is now my favorite comeback
I love how even her casual slap has the kung-fu "epic punch" sound
The naked blood lust is officially over! For now!
Thanks everyone, that was fun! :D Thanks to @Taweret for hosting the vampiric shenanigans!
And thus Sarah is Last Vampire Standing!
And they all live spookily ever after in the land of blowing sheer curtains and pigeons, with vaguely European backdrops.
And so the coffin-er becomes the coffin-ee! #Monsterdon
So if you make a new vampire they can only live forever for real if they stab themselves and somehow that makes you into the coffin girl?
ETA: OOOOOH she stabbed herself _and_ coughed up _her_ blood into Miriam which somehow Uno Reversed the whole thing. Okay.
Estate Agents are the true vampires though
now they should all do the Thriller dance
10 minutes left, and this movie is threatening them to be a very abstract 10 minutes
The pigeons have a damn good agent, so many scenes....
Damn, she just murdered an avant-garde synth player
junkies, this is just junkies
I like how it's not that vamps can't be seen in mirrors but they can somehow project themselves onto mirrors...
so wait the moral of the story is, don't be a lesbian, you'll turn into a junkie???
Pay phones were something that were seemingly everywhere and then overnight just disappeared. To the point of being the mark of a 'preiod piece' film. #monsterdon
Is she....[vague hand gestures]....you know....into trains?
Iβm not just a doctor, Iβm a phlebotomist when convenient!
"Of course a vampire is just a cannibal with good table manners." - Roger Ebert #monsterdon
You think she should see a doctor because she's thinking about a woman? hmmmm?
Geez dude don't push people to come out of the closet before they're ready
measuring the volume of my blood later and realizing that 4oz went missing and prematurely deciding that i'm a vampire and go back and claim my undying allegiance to catherine deneuve #monsterdon
#monsterdon @arrjay "what if we were lesbians but it was boring?" me: "I fear you have discovered the gay agenda"
Lamest vampire deal ever. No turning into a bat. No interior lighting. Can't turn invisible, no fangs, can be seen in mirrors. Centuries spent in an Obsession commercial followed by eternal life in a box covered in pigeon shit.
0/10, do not recommend.
vampires don't engage in as much cultural terraforming as they could. like with the kind of wealth and power you could amass over that time, and all the killing you get to do, you could really just get in the drivers seat of global political and art movements #monsterdon
lighting so moody that even the film grain is not putting up with it
Poor Mrs Blaylock, couldn't afford her electric bill
"I don't know why I'm here"
I'm not aware that I'm in a vampire movie yet, you see. #Monsterdon
