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

@crowbriarhexe Obviously a werecat

#Monsterdon #Wolfen1981

Oh yeah. Gregory Hines. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Sure their previous interactions definitely lead up organically to a sex scene.

It's a normal thing to do when you don't respect your coworker.

How come we're getting wolf-vision views from WITHIN the apartment/bedroom?

#monsterdon

More people walking quietly at night. The director had a barely disguised somnambulism fetish.
#monsterdon

jump scare zoom-out

#Monsterdon

Peter Wolfe? Nobody stood up and went "a little on the nose, no?"
#Monsterdon

Different Headband declines the nude wrestling match because he's a coward. We see more monster vision chasing things elsewhere at the same time though, so maybe there's a different shapeshifter or Original Headband just really liked taking off his clothes and acting like a wolf.

We then cut to Animal Expert watching movies about wolves and learning wolf facts that the rest of #monsterdon reports are Wrong Wolf Facts. He is sad a wolf is killed by helicopter people.

#monsterdon

@wohali I hear my daughter in law saying "get a room buddy!" also "walkies?!?!" #monsterdon

what if Ferguson is the wolfen and the racism was all to throw the cops off

I'm sure he isn't, but like

what if that

#Monsterdon

WOLVES DON'T HAVE HEAT VISION WHAT THE FUCK #Monsterdon

I had no idea how much Horner liked that 4-note trill but wow. Apparently people call this the "danger motif"

#Monsterdon

You ain't got no clothes Lt. Dan!!?
#monsterdon

HEY

WHAT DID I SAY

#Monsterdon

Can we get back to Eddie? I had no idea that young Edward James Olmos was so hot.

#Monsterdon

Edward James Olmos strip sequence :neofox_flush:

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe when the moon hits your eye
like a big-a pizza pie
that's a werewolf

#monsterdon

for the love of god this is the worst fucking direction i might have to bail on this one if we are going down the route of "native curse" #monsterdon

#monsterdon Everyone is pretty onboard with the idea that shapeshifting is totally possible.

I'd have expected a little more skepticism.

So my soul is a dumpy smartass that likes holding a PlayStation controller, apparently

#Monsterdon

@diazona @wulfric were-chihuahua, that'd be so cute!! #monsterdon

Very sharp teeth. The better to chew on you with, my dear.
#monsterdon

So you're saying Wolfen's a picky eater? #Monsterdon 🐺 #Wolfen

No No I said "Kubrick", I said "I want it to look like a Kubrick film.", why on earth would I want it to look like a "poo brick"?
#Monsterdon `

The werewolf is SCP-049, except wolf instead of crow.

Or something. Ripping out diseased organs is odd.

#Monsterdon #Wolfen1981

@wulfric were-corgi? 😀

#Monsterdon #Wolfen1981

Bingo!

#Monsterdon
#Wolfen1981

#monsterdon #Wolfen1981

The location shooting in this movie is the best thing about it.

@springdiesel He’s got a vaguely John Travolta look going for him.

#Monsterdon

he's SO YOUNG, good god

#Monsterdon

well at least the actor is actually Native American... or claims to be...

#monsterdon

it's very funny, the idea that there were no true radicals left in nyc at that time

#monsterdon

LOL. They're like what now? Oh good I was worried we would avoid anything problematic.
#monsterdon

When you attempt to be woke but end up racist?

#Monsterdon #Wolfen1981

#monsterdon Impressed that in two seconds he could tell it was a wolf (which don't exist in NYC) and not a domestic dog (which are all over the city.).

okay racist

#monsterdon

hey dumbass boas and pythons don't need to eat two people in a row. one is enough for at LEAST a week

#monsterdon

Snaken. #monsterdon

Wait, what does she do for a living?

And how can she afford this apartment in NYC?

#Monsterdon
#Wolfen1981

I bet the production claimed this 'wolf-o-vision' cost 10 times what it actually did. #monsterdon

ORANGE SPOTTED

#Monsterdon

beautiful cat. my favorite character so far

#monsterdon

@bunnyhero #monsterdon

Wolfen is a scab, confirmed.

@Terencio Trying to figure out how to get down off the bridge.... #monsterdon

Oh god

It's going to kill Sam Raimi

#Monsterdon

He runs after her, pulls her down the stairs and she doesn't say ANYTHING?

#Monsterdon
#Wolfen1981

I do like all the apocalyptic urban ruins in this movie.

#monsterdon

i'm starting to sense it's like not a werewolf but a demon. even if it looks like a werewolf it's a demon from christian hell

#monsterdon

WereWolf baby ventriloquism. Oldest RickRoll in the book. #Monsterdon

Is that scientist the principal from Back to the Future?
#monsterdon

they cast a bald guy as a hair-obsessed forensic scientist, i see what you did there movie

#monsterdon #Wolfen1981

this may not look like it to you, but this is peak New York City

#monsterdon

@bstacey Q the winged serpent, maybe?

#Monsterdon #Wolfen1981

WolfenVision reminds me a lot of watching scrambled cable channels back in the 80s.

#Monsterdon

Werewolf is gonna keep killing people until someone does something about those chimes.

#Monsterdon #Wolfen

Does the wolf have a cloaking device?

#Monsterdon #Wolfen1981

I uh, don't know what to make of that flirting. Which I think means the movie kinda succeeded in what it was going for?

#Monsterdon

🐺 4
🤷‍♂ 0

#Monsterdon

otoh i think this wolf might actually be trying to get high

#monsterdon

Because our main characters are cops, they immediately suspect the brain thieves are communists and/or very specific ethnic minorities.

After locating a girl communist, we bring her in for an interview in our secret surveillance interview room and use its illegal spy technology to tell if she is lying.

For unclear reasons, she pretends to know about the murder but doesn't actually, so we cut to some black dudes hanging out by a campfire in a derelict building forest.

#monsterdon

Again, my compliments to the key location scouting members of production. #Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie Eastern Standard Time is to blame for many of the ills in the world.

#Monsterdon

Elder Sign (star-variant) pendant

#Monsterdon #Wolfen1981

"She's hiding something…"
Yeah, her acting skills

#monsterdon

psychologists are always using thermal cameras and tempo warping and chorusing people's voices to get better data #monsterdon

Is this a thinly-veiled Patty Hearst reference?? #Monsterdon

I like how she just womansplained male genitalia to both of them 👏 👏 #Monsterdon

That look from the food cart vendor, lol

#Monsterdon

This movie has a lot more g-nital m-tliation than I had intended to sign up for tonight.
#monsterdon

“So what’s new on the international mutilation front?” #Monsterdon

@diazona PAY ATTENTION

(something will happen soon besides colorful NYC banter)

#Monsterdon

I'm watching the archive.org version and the dialog is really quiet and the background music is really loud. Is anyone else seeing this, or is it my screwed up vacation house TV?

#monsterdon

I just hope that when I die they will say of me “He was worth three normals.” #Monsterdon

Used to love those thermoformed world maps.
#monsterdon

"How do you know that?"

"I asked."

#Monsterdon

I'm hoping the monster took the rich guy's brain so he could make a brain golem in his secret underground werewolf laboratory.

#monsterdon

In this part Different Headband meets with his sidekick, Afro-Goatee man, to discoverer all the missing body parts the monster yeeted around the park.

We learn that the rich guy who was killed was a megarich famous guy who was possibly going to rule the city and also being the next president. As we know how rich famous guys becoming president has turned out, the monster might have done us a favor.

#monsterdon

@ricci

Do you?

Yeah.

Well, I've got to hand it to you.

#Monsterdon
#Wolfen1981

To save money this was also an episode of Law and Order. #monsterdon

man, eating one of those powered donuts in the wind from a helicopter would aerosolize that shit. man would have choked to death instantly.

#monsterdon #Wolfen1981

WOLFEN was just splitting heirs

#monsterdon

Fun Fact: Nobody ever got haircuts in the 80s.
#monsterdon

Our movie now cuts to a different guy who has a different dog, who is also a good boy. Oh wait it might not be his dog, because it tells it to go away. Rude.

After waking up, he calls his boss on the payphone to receive an assignment, which is a strange way for your boss to tell you to do things. He's some kind of detective and is supposed to investigate the probable werewolf murder.

#monsterdon

Now that's a crime scene. They've got donuts and a big coffee urn on the hood of the cop car.

#monsterdon

Air Wolf

#Monsterdon

10 cent payphone. Drink an RC cola.... #monsterdon

And that's why Bruce Wayne became Batman.

#Monsterdon #Wolfen1981

Not the chauffeur! What did he ever do to anyone?

#monsterdon

this movie is nailing one of the two maxima of quality vs. amount of dialogue for a #monsterdon movie: none

Some questionable decisions in editing, but this is shot quite competently and overall seems like it will be "wow that was well above par for #Monsterdon"

M O O N

That spells Wolfen

#Monsterdon

We saw those Bertoia chiming rods in a museum last month! #Monsterdon

"oh them white folks 🙄 " - the driver

#Monsterdon

I revisited White Nights recently. Not great, but not bad. #monsterdon

Fun fact: We used to have windchimes but the neighbors would put rubber bands around them whenever we left the house.
#monsterdon

Fun fact: The Brooklyn bridge is older than London's Tower bridge.
#monsterdon

We've got Horner horns giving him away and Edward James Olmos right off the bat, and some pretty great frames. Promising start to this one.

#Monsterdon

Coke scene, as required by 80s law.
