Has anyone tested the hypothesis that cigarettes age vampires? #Monsterdon #TheHunger

tony scott directed this and it came out a year after blade runner, directed by ridley scott. lotta similar dark, brooding shots in this too. different cinematographer though

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon🧛‍♂️ 💞 🧛‍♀️ 💞 🥧 🍩 😱

Bowie: "you must think that I'm quite crazy"
Sarandon: [ crazy like a beautiful beautiful dude but quit grabbing my arm ya weirdo ]

Ad Break thoughts:

Nobody in this movie believes in light of any kind.

Are they all vampires?

I'm enjoying this, the movie is way outside my usual comfort zone

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ Young. Men. #Monsterdon

So this is a difference of sired vampires and born vampires or something? Or just blood type differences?
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

You want to know why you're aging, John? Cigarettes!

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

I love that enormous lizard brooch

#Monsterdon

@Taweret #monsterdon

"istg" = "I'll stake the ghoul"?

"What's her secret?" Amphetamines. #Monsterdon #TheHunger

wat? Salami perfectly complements cheese. These vampires are wack.

#monsterdon

Missing #Monsterdon tonight because I’m in too much pain to focus on the movie or the commentary, but the few posts I’ve seen lead me to believe it’s prime Monsterdon fare.

I’ve already lost the plot to this movie #monsterdon #theHunger

#Monsterdon🧛‍♂️ 💞 🧛‍♀️ 💞 🥧 🍩 😱

pro-ge-RIa? pro-GE-ria!

Susan Sarandon has been in a lot of films I like. #monsterdon

@trixter Morrissey? Plz no. I don't need the soundtrack to turn into a comedy.
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

oo i do not like monkeys :/ #Monsterdon

Nothing to do except drink blood and screw. #monsterdon

Very much evokes a perfume commercial #Monsterdon

so we're less than ten minutes in and so far Bowie is having sex in basically every scene he's been in. i mean, good for him.

#monsterdon

I turned on the subtitles, that will probably help me understand what's happening...

#Monsterdon

So far this is a nice monkey goth gore music video. I wonder if we get a plot. #monsterdon

This monkey is harshing the vibe

#Monsterdon

DAYWALKERS!

#Monsterdon

Oo, gooey #Monsterdon

SHOCK THE MONKEY

#monsterdon #TheHunger

kids an important lesson is that even though this movie makes smoking seem super-erotic it is NOT

#Monsterdon

well that's my Bela Lugosi's Dead for the season lmao

#monsterdon

Okay so David Bowie is using Bauhaus as vampire hunting ambiance music, that tracks

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

I'm not sure I've ever seen David Bowie in a movie outside of Labyrinth.
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

The wave

It's so new

#Monsterdon

God I haven't heard this song in a minute

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon for those who weren't there this opening scene is what MTV looked like back in the day, exactly this, but like, distilled or something. #TheHunger1983

It's a Master System game

#Monsterdon

I've been to this goth club I think....

#Monsterdon

#MonsterdonAlert

#Monsterdon

GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hop ☺️ #monsterdon

ooh! just wait a couple years then he'll suddenly turn old and helpless!

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

Chinese inspector Lestrade is an idiot.
#Monsterdon #MrVampire

Was that a coke nail joke? Opium nail? #monsterdon

@trixter The spirit is right 😀

#Monsterdon

Always remember to pluck the bottom of your coffin.
#Monsterdon #MrVampire

this is legit hilarious...

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

moar Naruto ninja magic....

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

@diazona #monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

maybe it was a ghost tree...

#WrongFrog ! #monsterdon #MrVampire

I can't believe he killed Hanson.

#monsterdon

Chekov's dolls in the background...

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

hey, he was using Naruto ninja magic!

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

So she was an emotional vampire as well as being a literal vampire

#Monsterdon

I feel like we switched from one movie where I had no clue what on earth was going on because it was trying too hard to be artistic to another where I have no clue what on earth is going on because it keeps digressing into comedic things that have nothing to do with anything.

Where did the jiangshi even go? Aren't we supposed to be concerned about them or something?

#Monsterdon

So all David Bowie had to do was stab himself in the neck? Man, he must feel like an idiot!

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Miriam was lucky that her Egyptian name was used in the Bible and therefore became recognizable to modern day Americans, she would've had a hard time if it was Hatshepsut or something

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon🧛‍♂️ 💞 🧛‍♀️ 💞 🥧 🍩 😱

Thank you @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for the bingo, @JoeWynne for the trivia and all you great #Monsterdonians for the fun!

Young David Bowie deserved significantly more screen time is all I'm saying

thank you again @Taweret for hosting! was great seeing this again, especially with this crowd. and thanks @ryan for the stream!

#monsterdon

ive had ten ish minutes to reflect and ive come to the conclusion that this movie was just an excuse to get people with perfect noses to steam up

#Monsterdon

Good job team yet again, that's another movie successfully launched into space. Thanks to @Taweret for hosting as always.

#monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Well, that wasn't bad, even if the studio-driven ending really screwed it up. The rest was nice tho'.

All atmosphere and not a lot of story, but I can work with that.

#monsterdon #TheHunger1983

The moral of the story is that if you move into a nice old house that has a flock of white doves flying wild in the attic you will some day have reason to regret the headache they can bring about #monsterdon

@Violinknitter Yeah. Needed more theramin to be a #monsterdon

Imagining Underworld, but with hopping vampires. #monsterdon

Almost tempted to make Basic Instinct a double feature, but that was enough neon and meaningful looks for one evening

#Monsterdon

i overnapped this afternoon and missed #monsterdon

will have to catch up later :D

While other films had higher run-times, this was the longest ever
#monsterdon

Time to go crawl into my coffin at a reasonable hour.

his teef fell out
#Monsterdon

Thanks for hosting, @Taweret! Who knows how long it would have taken for me to actually watch this one otherwise! (Ok, if I had known Bowie was in it, I would have watched it much sooner.)

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Honestly, I think I would’ve enjoyed this movie a lot more if all the slow high squeals, whistles, and ringing tones hadn’t made half of the movie torture to hear

#Monsterdon

The movie really ended with the pigeons in the moonlit attic. Everything after that was junk. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

And we're done. All right. Definitely one of the better Monsterdon movies.

@jadebees those pigeons have it all over those lab rats that try to take over the world every night

nobody even knows they're at it and yet

100% success

#monsterdon #TheHunger1983

I still think this was Tony Scott's attempt to do whatever Bladerunner did.

And fail.

#monsterdon #TheHunger

@RobynGoodfellow If it was on cable, they would have edited the fun parts out. #Monsterdon #TheHunger

@bstacey It did for me!

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

The ending was weak but I mostly enjoyed the movie.

#Monsterdon

Thank you for fellow #monsterdon peeps for an epic slice of 80s style over substance.

Not a traditional monsterrdon fare, but a fun jaunt down memory lane.

Till next time. Thank you all, and thank you to @Taweret as always
for hosting.

Thanks @Taweret & the #Monsterdon gang, I finally saw The Hunger after (checks watch) 42 years!

Well that movie was definitely 97 minutes. I wasn't really sure why I haven't seen this. I imagine if younger me caught this on cable he probably just kept flipping. Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting. Have a great week Beautiful Mutants! #Monsterdon #TheHunger

@Newpa_Hasai For me it is Altered States.

#Monsterdon

I like that "MONKEY EFFECTS" was one of the main sections of the credits.
#monsterdon

@LuluHelle I think you got it. #Monsterdon #TheHunger

So ends another #Monsterdon with the classic, #TheHunger1983. Our thanks to @Taweret for hosting, and for everyone lurking and posting. And remember #Monsterdoners: If they're wearing an ankh, they ankhn't for you.

@Terencio Vampire rules are super confusing

#Monsterdon

That ending makes no sense at all but I still love this movie. It doesn't have a plot, just vibes #monsterdon #TheHunger

every movie willem dafoe is in is awesome. every single one. #monsterdon

"Under the Skin" comes to mind after this

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon And we end where most Vampire stories begin, a real estate deal. #theHunger1983

ok i am loster than lost now
#Monsterdon

@nev haha I was just thinking about how Steve Martin would liven up this movie

#Monsterdon

Sad Colombo doesn’t get to ask “just one more question” this time

#Monsterdon

"The owners are deceased."

I mean, that's one way to put it.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Legit cackled out loud at Sitcom Detective showing up at the very end.

#Monsterdon

"Hello!?"
"Hello?"
"I'm looking for a plot... is there a plot in here?
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Will you still love me when I'm not longer young and beautiful?

No.

Sorry, Colombo, this time you showed up in the wrong flick

#Monsterdon

All of these exes will fade in time, like ankhs in rain.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger

Columbo is cold on the case.
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

This is a movie about the dangers of Lesbianism, cuz lesbians thirst for blood, especially of their former husbands.

Stay thirsty, my friends.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

(and she's still conscious through the whole thing, yikes.)

#monsterdon

FWIW, if you are looking for a reason for anything in this movie to happen.

You're looking in the wrong place.

#monsterdon

The moral of this film is vampires need to form bisexual polycules and not commit serial monotony. #monsterdon
