So I took a gummy at the start of this movie, and between that and the pacing, this has now turned into the longest movie I've ever seen

#Monsterdon

Vampies feeding on the 1%
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#Monsterdon

Oh man, they can't bump off this guy fast enough.

#monsterdon

If I was a vamp I'd deffo prey on wankers, I'd lie to myself I was one of the good ones actually...like the humans do.

#Monsterdon

this movie is a solid decade behind of its time with the zooming. every time it happens it's like watching 70s schlock

#Monsterdon

I know vampires can't be seen in mirrors, but apparently Susan Sarandon can't be seen in traffic.

#monsterdon

My clothes are gonna smell like cigarettes after this movie ends.

#Monsterdon

everlasting* life**

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon oh I just got you vampire pregnant, nbd

"What's that?"

"I don't know"

looks down

Charlie flicks her nose

"Damn it, Charlie!"

#monsterdon

Before he got into acting Cliff DeYoung was a recording artist....#monsterdon

Sarah HUNGERS
for CIGARETTES

#monsterdon

Also Sarah your partner is a bit prying

#monsterdon

"This rich woman is lonely!"

#Monsterdon

lol, I love how she can't stop thinking about her...

#Monsterdon

WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING?! 👵⚠️

#Monsterdon

It’s always so windy in that apartment.

#Monsterdon

[spills wine all over her white t-shirt with nothing underneath]

"Oh, no"

I take it back

#Monsterdon

Vampires make phone calls using SpookyTel

#monsterdon

lol, love the queer awakening there, "she's all I can think about!" Lies in bed awake thinking about her while Cliff De Young sleeps....

#Monsterdon

Blue neon and shadows from mini blinds. Maximum 80s. #Monsterdon

Vampire telepathy is highly specialized to sending homoerotic warning signals about oncoming traffic

#Monsterdon

Impressive brakes on that truck.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Oh, right. An ankh is a symbol of eternal life. Hence why a vampire would wear it.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

@amyfou That's what the kids call it...
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Someone needs to be moisturized… intensely…

@LuluHelle David is very cute. Almost... TOO cute 🤔 #Monsterdon

Weird collection but more tasteful than Pop Vinyl figurines

#Monsterdon

@jonny Tough call. #Monsterdon

(serious as someone with this actual song in their normal playlist rotation, this song is Doing Things For Me right now.)

#monsterdon

Directed by John Woo

#monsterdon

"Excuse the mess, John Woo was just filming here"

#Monsterdon

halfway point. I suppose the second half will be more of this. which, this isn't *bad* but calling it a story almost feels like a stretch

#Monsterdon

@combatwombat Yeah seriously

Apparently when you become a vampire (in this universe) you lose not only mortality but also logical reasoning

#Monsterdon

This was NOT Bowie sexily falling down the stairs.

#monsterdon

jesus, miriam, take him out. come on.

#monsterdon

 🧛‍♀️🧛   TRIVIA HUNGER 🧛‍♀️🧛

Robbed!

The Hunger received the Academy's only Oscar nomination in 1983 for "Best Makeup". Because there needs to be competition to receive an Oscar, the film was denied the award.

#TheHunger1983

marks off for killing a child, should have finished that roller dude

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou

You've found the solution to keeping all those COBOL mainframes running!

#Monsterdon

Oh it’s getting ATONAL in here

And slashy…

#monsterdon

@arrjay I just need someone to bite, the whole day through

#Monsterdon

Tony Scott's pigeons there....

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ they make me think of little cocaine spoons #monsterdon

lol $500,000 would buy you a napkin on US Healthcare

#Monsterdon

How was work today honey?

Oh the usual… watched monkeys die.

#monsterdon

WE HAVE COFFEE SIGN!!!!
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

oh, ok, this is just "he chose poorly"

#monsterdon

I suppose leaving the cigarette burning isn’t *smoking* in the doctor’s office

#monsterdon

I wonder why you're aging so poorly there, Chimney Stardust

#Monsterdon

"Smoking is not permitted" but there is an ashtray next to him?!

#monsterdon

Blaylock feels like an anagram name.
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

The days before Uber and Lyft were dark days indeed. #monsterdon

Available now on JVC video cassette

#Monsterdon

Those poor monkeys 😞

#Monsterdon

...Though I am waiting for him to try to re-set the electric fence fuses. Hold on to your butts. #Monsterdon

This also has a Pink Floyd The Wall film vibe to it. #monsterdon

sorry I mean a *horny* vampire getting a sleep study

#Monsterdon

That's not her vampire powers doing that, that's her queer powers...

#Monsterdon

Are we going to get vampires via medical experimentation (or medical experimentation to try to get the secret of the vampires)?

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Imagine telling David Bowie he looks awful. Ever.

#monsterdon

That's not how you pronounce that medical term...
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

Looking at David Bowie is liek looking at a stallion in a barn? Movie what are you doing with symbolism?
Okay now I wanna kiss Bowie, I get that part.
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

Sings "David Bowie was a STA-ble boy"

#Monsterdon

Monkey footage > Big Macs

#Monsterdon

I don't think I've ever seen anybody light a cigarette with a Zippo at that angle.

#monsterdon

Why does that monkey sound like… that?

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

#monsterdon Theres a lot of implied…. uhhhh... large kitty action…

I'm cool with this movie just being a music video. #monsterdon

Newwave music? It's like I'm in my car listening to SXM.
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

I was the first deejay at my college radio station to play the Bauhaus

#Monsterdon

word! Uncle Guo, Vampire-Killa!

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

holy cats this is hilarious!

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

Bet YouTube got a spike of folks playing this one tonight https://youtu.be/Yy9h2q_dr9k

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983 #BelaLugosisDead #Bauhaus #Music #Goth

I'm confused *Mr. Vampire* while right goofy, and I don't speak Cantonese, I understand way better than The Hunger. #Monsterdon, I think I might have missed something... But it feels like it was, "conclusion that Monsterdon film was a nothingburger..." I found the short end I did catch was interesting in some way.

Where can I find The Hunger? I've tried finding it on Internet Archive, by my search either had thousands or it didn't show up... :(

I came for the hopping vampires, I stayed for the synchronized strip slapping #monsterdon

hey, his coffin is entering TRON...

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

I don't think this guy has the rizz he thinks he has...

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

hey, it's Chinese juggalos!

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

@klu9 #monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

thx

darn, I had to step away for a couple minutes and now I have no idea wat's going on.

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

this man gonna run afoul of a pimp by the end of the movie...

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

I must insist on being called "Millionaire Terencio" from now on.

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

Western tea? like from Starbucks?

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

Okay, that was a real monster! And, I thought I’d seen this, but now I think I only saw the sexy excerpts back in the day? Anyway, glad to have joined in the #Monsterdon viewing. Thanks, as always, @Taweret for setting it all up. Watch out for those pointy ankhs!

Slap stick necromancy works surprisingly well.
#Monsterdon #MrVampire

Oh it's a thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiangshi
"Chinese hopping vampire"
#monsterdon

Imma give that one 7/5 pigeons and check it off the list

#monsterdon

Okay, why is Miriam suddenly aging now? And why is this letting all the failures decompose?

I do not understand vampire physiology.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger

#Monsterdon If the studio hadn't sabotaged the ending (as I learned from @JoeWynne ) , this would have made a kind of sense. As it is, it makes no sense. It was certainly atmospheric and sexy. I don't regret watching it, but I certainly won't rewatch it.

Thank you for another wonderful movie watching experience. @Taweret, that was a great selection and I look forward to next week.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go experiment with tobacco. The movie made a compelling case. Have a great week everyone!

#Monsterdon

No, Tubi, not watching Altered States next. That's enough weird for the night. #Monsterdon

MISTER VAMPIRE about to start on miry.miyaku.media!!!

#monsterdon #wrongHunger

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983 Not bingo, and I refuse to check "City at Night" because really everything at night happened indoors, usually at home.

Summary: a lot of nothing happened and it took a long time

there were vampires I guess

A fun time was had regardless! Thanks @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting! Now over to @miru for the eagerly anticipated Mr. Vampire...

#Monsterdon

That's quite the comeuppance for the worst vampire queen ever. Still don't understand how the pigeons pulled this off.

#Monsterdon

Maybe this movie should have leaned harder into vibes by being shorter, especially not attempting to have a scientific explanation?

Though I suppose that would weaken the sex/blood/fluidborne disease aspect

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

The only thing missing was Miriam dying on the floor saying something like, "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe..."

But, at least they kept the pigeons everywhere.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Listen, this is the last time we bring any of your 'friends' home from the bar. Just look at this mess!

#Monsterdon
#TheHunger

She loved them by proxy, no give and all take

THE END

Yeah I know this #Monsterdon predates Cutting Crew but you know...it fits.

Hope Sarah took this as a valuable Learning Experience.

Thanks for another spooooky one @Taweret ...see everyone they can be actually good and still be fun!

Look: you defeat a vampire by having them turn you, committing suicide, triggering an uprising of their past lovers who kill them, then you're the vampire and they're the one locked in a coffin

IT COULDN'T BE SIMPLER
