OMG! Did that book just bust it's way out of a glass cabinet?

#monsterdon

So she knows she's bad at creating vampires than she did it again anyway?

#Monsterdon #TheHunger

@skatem They made inferior cassettes, David Bowie would have used Maxell XLII

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Yeah. This movie doesn't stick to the supernatural canon. It's trying to propose a scientific vampirism. "For the realism".

this movie is taking itself extremely seriously and for me its wrapping back around to funny lol
#Monsterdon

name that animal sound
I am going with the lesser spotted pebble chipmunk. an animal i did not just make up.
#Monsterdon

Did a baseball just come in the window or what? #monsterdon

Research centre security is a little lax here, it seems. #monsterdon

Hittin' those marks for some PERFECT lighting, damn.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

"Baby, I've been
Breaking glass in your room again
Listen

Don't look at the carpet
I drew something awful on it
See"

#Monsterdon #TheHunger

If how you sleep effects how you age, I'm in big trouble.

#Monsterdon

Again, the hat is representing with the silhouette

#Monsterdon

Vampire Boy is not taking his impending death well, which is understandable, but why be so angry at Miriam?

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

#monsterdon ahhh yes the return of the thin white duke

There’s yer product placement. “JVC”

#Monsterdon

Read the WHOLE book.

#Monsterdon

If I had a house like that, I'd keep the lights low to create dramatic shadows too.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Is this a vampire movie or a perfume commercial?

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

I'm getting "Liquid Sky"(movie) indie movie vibes from this movie.
#Monsterdon

i want my allegoryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
#Monsterdon

"what am i going to do?"

play the cello and look incredibly hot until about 2016 i think.

#monsterdon

Billowing curtains? It's the 80s all right

#Monsterdon

This looks better and classier than the last 20 #monsterdon movies combined. I can’t take it. Where’s the rubber monster.

Maybe if you didn't smoke so much around your lovers vampire lady maybe they would last longer #Monsterdon

@kshernandez Maybe. It must be explained but for the life of me I don’t recall it happening.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon MOAR ECHO

Frankly, I kinda want to talk to Lily Belle

#Monsterdon https://retro.pizza/@yatsu/115364217398125845

"forever and ever"* is like unlimited* data

#monsterdon

These two shots were back to back.
#monsterdon

Miriam: You want me to write a diary, huh? #Monsterdon

@thatdawnperson also if you keep making that face it'll stick

#monsterdon

praying vampire

#monsterdon #TheHunger1983

#monsterdon

The gay allure begins.

@springdiesel
"Our vampires are different"

#Monsterdon

I’m starting to remember why this movie hit weird for me. It just…. Does things. Like the continuity is impossible to follow, it just changes suddenly from scene to scene without giving you time to absorb things which is wild because simultaneously it feels like nothing is actually happening

#monsterdon

this is a film lighting geek’s dream #monsterdon

David Bowie is also such a fox.

#Monsterdon

I can't imagine trying to watch this on shitty third generation prints on cheap film stock on a movie theater screen in 1983. So dark, so low contrast, such low dynamic range.

And in a movie where the director clearly wanted you to be taken in by the imagery.

#monsterdon #TheHunger

Yeah, that happened to me when I was bleaching too much too. 😬

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

@wohali@timeloop.cafe imdb trivia says he learned to play for this movie
#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

WATERPHONE!
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983 What was in that cigarette, dude?

This guy looks like Snoop Dog #monsterdon #TheHunger

Dr. Bootsy Collins everyone. #Monsterdon #TheHunger

#Monsterdon Snoop Dogg has theories..

Well, he's still got a reflection, so I guess he's not a vampire yet.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger

oh my fuck i love the hunger #monsterdon

@hollie

If something's hard to see, just remember to say "Enhance"

#Monsterdon

@arisummerland apparently he learned how for this movie. #Monsterdon

@wohali apparently he learned the cello for this film! #monsterdon

You can always spot the vampire because their fashion sense stops somewhere in the 1930s. #Monsterdon

@kinsale42 Nominative determinism cannot save him. #Monsterdon #TheHunger

They really nail the creepy neighborhood child grooming vampires.

Let's just call her Snack!

#Monsterdon

Those shoulder pads are sharp!

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Well, it's not the longest we've ever gone before the first dialogue...

(at 7:50 runtime)

#Monsterdon

That hospital looks really smokey

#Monsterdon

Remember when televisions were TINY?

Bowie remembers.

#monsterdon

that is a terrible TV for someone so apparently rich. looks like something my granny had.
#Monsterdon

The director should turn on some fucking lights too

#monsterdon #TheHunger

Bowie watching Tom and Jerry...okay. #Monsterdon

Um... he's showing up in the mirror. #Monsterdon #TheHunger

a late #Rootpost for #monsterdon

oh no now I have to be critical of Bowie's bowing technique (and how it doesn't look real) #Monsterdon

I know somebody has already said it, but again, serious Blade Runner vibes.

#Monsterdon

This movie came out two years after MTV. I wonder if that's where all these rapid fire cuts came from. #Monsterdon #TheHunger

This movie may be too elliptical for me.

#Monsterdon

People on luades should not drive

#Monsterdon

Truth be told, I didn't know Bowie could play the cello. Not that I put it past him, I just wasn't aware!

#monsterdon

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

The wrinkles are from all the smoking, dude. #Monsterdon

You know, Mr. Vampire, it'd be a lot easier to see if you're aging if you TURNED ON A FUCKING LIGHT.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

I'm here for androgynous Susan Sarandon #monsterdon #TheHunger

Are the vampires supposed to be the bad guys here? Because I want to be their best friend.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Kids, that was a bookstore she was shopping in. You see, in the 80s…

#Monsterdon

If you sit so close to the teevee you’ll ruin your eyes #monsterdon

The unexpected dangers of book signings

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Please tell me one of the human characters is mind-melded with the monkey

(at 6:20 runtime)

#Monsterdon

@nev
Monkey deflation? 🤷‍♂️

#Monsterdon

Me at work next year: "Why are all these books so badly written, I wonder?"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Is he regretting forever?

The lipstick in this show is neon.

Excellent, barbiturate reference rigth in the script.

I am vindicated.

#monsterdon #TheHunger

So, these vampires show up on camera and mirrors. Got it.
#Monsterdon

So… a couple of vampires that teach neighborhood kids how to play violin? Is that what this is?

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

They may ask "What is going on?!?!" All I know is salami beats cheese and the monkey hasn't slept for 63 hours

#monsterdon
#Hunger

The kid has quaaludes! Ah, the 80s! #monsterdon #TheHunger

Not bad cello playing! The bowhold is wonky, but the vibe is right

#Monsterdon

Now I feel bad I skipped violin practice today #monsterdon

In the 1980s, many households only had a single machine that could run YouTube.
#monsterdon

Oh, okay. The stable is a flashback to back when he was sired. I didn't get that before.

#Monsterdon

kid, if you don't spit that gum out istg

#Monsterdon

and an actual David Bowie concert. i really don't care what else happens in this movie, it's amazing.

#monsterdon

Why _wouldn't_ a vampire child steal some qaaludes?

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ truer words were apparently never spoken

#Monsterdon

Was Bowie actually playing the cello?

#Monsterdon

Oh, so the young violinist has magic eyes and can read their music when it’s completely shadowed? Must be nice

#Monsterdon

I never really understood the girl’s role in this movie.

#Monsterdon

Which vampire mythform is this? Do they appear in pictures? In mirrors Are their clothes invisible as well?

#monsterdon #TheHunger

These ad breaks are just Tubi's form of edging. #Monsterdon

ok not sure why the normie meat based child is hanging with goth vampires.
Shall we find out?
#Monsterdon

OMG Pro-ja-RIYA? Did dictionaries not have pronunciation guides in 83? #Monsterdon #TheHunger
