Club scene! Oh we're starting strong here. #Monsterdon

The only thing that could make this movie better is if David Bowie was in it, and Bauhaus played the opening song.

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

In the category of Perky Nipples get a Starring Role, I give The Hunger 6/10. In 90 Minute Moody Music Video, 10/10. In the category of Watch Me Closely Or You Won't Have A Clue What's Going On and No I Won't Tell You If it's Worth it, I give 11/10.

The movie spends the longest hour ever slowly aging David Bowie in a waiting room like the anteroom to Limbo to show us what a raw deal this young vampire gets when eternal life turns out to not include eternal youth. This may or may not have something to do with researchers studying monkeys with premature aging or maybe it's sleep or longevity or --- ahhh, who cares?

When we see Susan Sarandon falling into the same trap, the movie turns in a taut 30 of her realizing what's happening, seeming to accept it, only to reject this bargain she never asked for in a bloody climax. With the help of some pigeons, the vampire queen's 4000 year collection of wizened lovers take their revenge.

You know what? I think the payoff was worth that long, slow walk. The beautiful soundtrack of mostly classical music helped me with the wait. I hope there's a full list somewhere, didn't see one in the credits.

Thank you, #monsterdon for an arty vampire movie that I ended up liking.

he looks like he just watched the previous movie...

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

@diazona #monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

at least he's not in a pigeon-infested attic in Brooklyn...

@klu9

Yeah, this MOVIE slaps. and apparently it has a good PLOT too!

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

@georgieboy @Taweret
...and so Sarah fucked off to a posh skyscraper apartment in London, and stood in its breezy curtains alone forever.

The End?

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

@klu9

A corpse cowboy? Wow I can think of at least 5 movies based on that concept...

"starting with The good, the bad, and the ugly... CORPSE COWBOYS!"

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

@CactuarJoe now that I would watch by choice

#Monsterdon

So Sarah gets to be out in the day. Miriam is the one in the box, and all the failures got to disintegrate.

Well, okay then.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger

And so they fucked off into the smog #monsterdon #TheHunger

it's like Frogger but with zombie-vampires.

#monsterdon #mrVampire #wrongHunger

I love that whitley strieber inspired this gay ass movie

#monsterdon

so many pigeons...

#Monsterdon

@springdiesel Is that an island of lost toys reference? #Monsterdon

Well okay folks, that certainly was a movie we watched. I think there was a plot. Bowie was fantastic for the five minutes he was in it, and it was fun to see baby Dan Hedaya.

All that said… it's a gonna be a no for me, dawg. That was some nonsense wrapped up with a fancy bow.

But hey, the people I watched it with are rad as hell, so I'll be back next week!

Goodnight!

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

@Taweret yep there definitely feels like a lot of gaslighting and abuser emotional energy from Miriam

#monsterdon

@SRLevine I haven't!

Hahaha I love the phrase "relentlessly heterosexual"

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

"Monkey Effects"

3 cheers for those dudes.

#monsterdon

Tubi queues up cabaret which I guess shows how much it's not our normal monster movie.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

I'm extra confused now, I thought Sarah was dead?

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

But why still alive?

#monsterdon

Not that I watched it or anything, (because I was playing Megabonk in another window), but I WAS listening, and my VFJDW theory (Vampire Films Just Don't Work) is ageing well.

Thanks @Taweret for hosting, and congratulations to everyone who paid more attention than I did!

Take a moment and process things in front of your green screen

Hashtag mindfulness

#Monsterdon

@stragu Powerful sexy women vampires should only keep men in their attic and let their women lovers keep their autonomy.

#Monsterdon

@diazona As you should

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

ha, allegrezza is about to have A Time.

#monsterdon

okay, so the original dies, finally the rest can go, but like, how does a fall down the stairs kill her?

#monsterdon

"the party is over, everyone get out"

#Monsterdon

@allanb honestly who can tell at this point

#Monsterdon

Yuppies vs Zombies

#monsterdon

we just had this eternally bonded conversation #monsterdon

Vampire Regret, with MEGA BASS

#monsterdon

OH! OH WHAT!

#monsterdon

And those fabulous curtains and that self-satisfied smirk have gotten me a #MonsterdonBingo #Monsterdon

But she doesn't look very Egyptian...

#Monsterdon

MUNCH

#monsterdon

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

#monsterdon I like Doctor Charlie's style.

Yellow hat, yellow glasses.

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

MEGAWEAPON!? #Monsterdon

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

🦖#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

@gblues #monsterdon

There are differences.

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.
