Now I want potato chips, thanks to Gregory Hines #Monsterdon 🐺 #Wolfen

@SnoopJ lol I was like "so they're using shots in shadow, to hide the fact that he's wearing a speedo of some kind— ope, no, there's his bits" #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Well @Taweret is revenged for Hines eating so much food on mic.

#monsterdon

Where the werewolf ass tho

#Monsterdon

those parabolic mics... remember when those were on the sidelines at football games?

#monsterdon

haha opening the can of beer in front of the directional mic is a great bit

#Monsterdon

Somehow the sex scene is even worse through wolf-o-vision

#Monsterdon

Did the movie ever explain what mythical job this woman holds to afford THAT NYC APARTMENT? #Monsterdon 🐺 #Wolfen

So the werewolf just looked up our heroine in the white pages to get her address?

#monsterdon

jump scare zoom-out

#Monsterdon

Me at the zoo (retro edition).

#monsterdon

My neighbor's cat when I moved in where I live now was named Dewey. Never did find out why. Nice friend. #monsterdon

"milli microns?"

Come on, use nanometers like a normal person. (Also that's a suspiciously large wavelength range)

#Monsterdon #Wolfen1981

Normally I would applaud male nudity but this movie put me through too much and it's not worth it.
#monsterdon

Even a werewolf likes an occasional day out to visit the zoo.

#monsterdon

either way that was super racist. hwoof.

#monsterdon

Still wrapping my brain around the visuals of a (relatively) youthful Edward James Olmos 🤷🏻‍♀️ #Monsterdon 🐺 #Wolfen

Edward James Almost Saw Your Pee-Pee Buddy

#monsterdon

getting flashbacks to Puma Man

#Monsterdon

I'd love for a movie to understand moon phases for once

#Monsterdon #Wolfen1981

Meanwhile, at the Racism Monitoring Center

#Monsterdon

@LingLass I'm pretty sure that's scientifically inaccurate!

#Monsterdon #Wolfen1981

If you're sensitive to racism put on your safety glasses 2 minutes ago.
#monsterdon

"on the steel" is kinda sick as a way to refer to a bridge/skyscraper laborer, not gonna lie

#Monsterdon

"wolves and Indians are basically one and the same"

wow some woke shit right there

#Monsterdon

some number of rodents were harmed in the making of this film

#Monsterdon

Her Casio watch is water proof and Wolfen resistant

#Monsterdon

We learn that the church has strange werewolf-like imagery, then we split the party to investigate it. Then we think we see or hear a monster and flee from the church at high speed to hang out in a pub.

Different Headband suspects the thing they saw was some junkies. Natalie asks him if he's killed anyone because he said he wanted to be a cop because he likes killing. He asks "why don't you ask how many?"

The monster gets bored and decides to go attack random people.

#monsterdon

@klu9 @ricci OMG! I didn't recognize James Tolkan with some remnants of actual hair!

Nero Wolfe (and my #TVMysteries peeps) would be ashamed of me #Monsterdon 🐺 #Wolfen

i hate when you're just chilling watching a movie and the movie takes a sudden 'yeah we're all christian here obviously' and you realize you were absolutely never the intended viewer

#monsterdon

This film is just too stylish for #Monsterdon

"Do you hear that?"

"Yeah, sounds like the beginning of a Jamiroquai song..."

#monsterdon

Chekhov's detached hand

#Monsterdon

tuning in whenever i hear the multi-delay audio effect kick in like a pavlovian response to there being wolf stuff happening #monsterdon

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@paco/116910107691609074

and wolves. JFC. What is it with this guy and wolves?! #monsterdon

John Joachim Jingleheimer Schmidt

#monsterdon

@moira Clearly you did not experience NYC in the late 1970s and that is your good fortune

(IMDB sez this movie came out in 1981) #Monsterdon 🐺 #Wolfen

I love it when werewolves are jingly.

#monsterdon

dang, he's trying to suck the marrow out of that cigar

#Monsterdon

Sometimes a cigar is just a brain

#Monsterdon

As per usual with #monsterdon, something is happening, I know not what because I'm too busy tooting.
#monsterdon

i can't tell if someone needs to take away the fx board from editing or tell them to daisy chain them and turn this thing into just a narrative-free music video. is there a maximum overvibe recut of wolfen yet #monsterdon

Because lie detection is so notoriously accurate.

#Monsterdon

Amazed they rented a thermal camera in 1981 just for this movie. That must have cost them half the national debt.
#monsterdon sterdon

Hallelujah, it's braining men

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ as usual i'm just ignoring the dialogue and going entirely by vibes, so the notion that we have no idea what was going on in that room never even crossed my mind #monsterdon

This is way too good of a movie for #Monsterdon

which explains why I'm losing interest 😂

#Monsterdon #Wolfen1981

@cherizilla Quincy Jr. but it's Gregory Hines

#monsterdon

I'm loving this depiction of "aloof detective"

#Monsterdon

Gregory Hines, who I remember from History of the World Part I.
#monsterdon

Wow, cool heli footage over Battery Park! I don't think I've ever seen it from the air in a movie (or otherwise, come to think of it)

#Monsterdon

Fly you fool

#Monsterdon

These folks sure are horizontal windmill enthusiasts.

So far that's the only characterization I'm getting

#Monsterdon

Kinda wild that this is six years before PREDATOR and going for a similar "the monster's vision" thing.

But ah, not at all sticking the landing.

#Monsterdon

The fancy rich lady urge to walk through a park and fondle the giant wind chimes.

#monsterdon

It would be a cute bit if the werewolf is a friend to dogs

#Monsterdon #Wolfen1981

I forgot this was Streiber! He sure had a hand in making the '80s weird, didn't he

#Monsterdon

Have you ever seen windchimes? Have you ever seen windchimes ON BLOW? #monsterdon

Man the old Hydra logo was pretttty cooool.
#Monsterdon

Is Snake Plissken gonna be in this?

#monsterdon

How do the actors keep themselves from laughing every time the camera rolls? #Monsterdon

This concludes my #monsterdon thread for Wolfen, a movie in which we learned things we already knew, that rich real estate moguls are bad, and things we didn't know, like how werewolves steal brains for no reason.

Wolfen! I guess gentrification is a good thing! ⛪🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️😒

Thanks as always to @Taweret for being a total alpha, and extra special thanks to the #Monsterdon crew for running around with your bums out.

I'm going to go scratch a monster energy logo on my face and sweat some more!

Should've finished with the job posting for a new coroner in the NYTimes.

#monsterdon

An epilogue? You're no Sarah Connor at the end of terminator 2.
#monsterdon

I hate when my mirrored vertical blinds make wind chime noises for no reason.
#monsterdon

We get a montage of wolves running and howling. Then Different Headband says something that the writers thought was profound, and then I think we see that he's quit his cop job and is now working construction with Original Headband, because construction is good and wholesome sometimes but bad and summons werewolves other times.

Then credits.

#monsterdon

Watching #Monsterdon with a newbie this week.

Him: What the hell is going on?

Me: Welcome to Monsterdon.

And racism. Always racism, of course.

#monsterdon #Wolfen1981

Movie T-Shirt.
#Monsterdon #Wolfen

pretty good movie. spends too much time huffing its own farts and doing racism, and has 2 ending sequences more than is necessary, but otherwise pretty good!

#Monsterdon

$17 million budget (1981) against about a $10.7 million box office take.

Honestly I'm surprised it got that much back.

#monsterdon

@diazona if it's a rainbow bridge, I might be able to help! #monsterdon

fuck's sake END ALREADY

#Monsterdon

"I'll do something wolves understand… like destroying the architectural models"

#monsterdon

It turns out the rich guy's office is not completely safe from wolves, because while wolves cannot use elevators they can climb skyscrapers and jump through windows for some reason.

#monsterdon

Nat and Different Headband retreat from the wolf parliament and into the rich guy's office, which is safe from wolves because wolves cannot use elevators.

Meanwhile other cops are showing up to investigate the wolf parliament murder they fled from and put out the cop car fire.

#monsterdon

Oh wait, it's not one wolf. It's like six wolves. They are having a wolf party. One bites the boss cop, who flees to a car, then the other one sneaks into the car and eats him.

They ignore Different Headband and Natalie, for some reason, who use their guns to explode the car because guns can explode cars in this universe.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon So how exactly did she get blood smeared on her face?

So this movie was a comedy

#Monsterdon

correction: Just saw wolf teeth in the last 5 minutes of the film but I already threw in the towel so...

#Monsterdon

So, the moral of the story is – forget your technology and modern society. The ancient wolfen is out there and doing stuff.

Not sure they've resolved anything, and they're short a coroner.

#monsterdon

@SnoopJ I would definitely see the movie where the solution to the monster is to make sure there aren't any abandoned people in society. #monsterdon

alright i think i am pretty much out on this one #monsterdon

listen up white boy

#Monsterdon

I'm not entirely clear on what's going on with Gotterdammerung and the background terrorist story, but it's probably way more important than a werewolf serial killer.

#Monsterdon #Wolfen1981

HOW CAN THERE BE 25 MINUTES LEFT

#monsterdon

Götterdämmerung? a terrorist group?

that's one of the operas in Wagner's The Ring cycle. lol.

#monsterdon

@wohali everyone knows that if you have a sniper rifle you never carry binoculars because it would be a waste to have a very small and better optics set of lenses when you already have a killing you set of lenses #monsterdon

ohhh puppyyyyyyy :blobfoxfloofcute:

#Monsterdon

I rescind my request for more male asses in #monsterdon, if this is what I'm gonna get I should have been more careful what I wished for.
#monsterdon

what if we watched this movie in 2x speed?

#monsterdon

Shout out to afro coroner for doing kung fu movies in a police office to show how cool he is.

#monsterdon

@moira @RobynGoodfellow I guess it must have varied then?

The mopeds I had on the lates 70s and 80s were generally capped at 30 unless they had been modified, (there is a big thing in Europe with modifying them for high speed). Capping is pretty easy to remove because it's just a regulator on the carburetor. One moped I owned in the 80s could do 60mph, but on a flat road for 2 miles (modified).

For a machine to legally qualify as a moped they can't exceed 30 mph?

#Monsterdon

@apLundell she said she's been put up in a company apartment, but the fact that it's THAT apartment is baffling #monsterdon

Until now, I only associated Gregory Hines with "Seize this, honkus" from History of the World, Part I

#monsterdon

Did this originally have narration or something? I don't hear anything but foley.
#monsterdon

You won't be talking to Fergie again I think.

#Monsterdon
#Wolfen1981

And that's when we learned the real monsters were the friends we made along the way.

Sorry I was hoping that would make the movie end, but sadly not.
#monsterdon
