Magnets how do they work?
This is how I felt last week trying to fix my computer
Props for a box with knobs on it labelled in sharpie, as is proper for electronics experimentation. #monsterdon
A man, a plan, panama man
"A man, a plan, a canal... Panama!"
Red square of paper taped to the wall?
I want a lab...
That into music is way too good for us.
Gotta get out my π 4D jazz hands π for this one
Hey, is this that music where we get to do The Twist again?
This is a beatnik documentary. #monsterdon
Best intro music EVER
Zap, pow! Hep daddy-o!
You're listening to the smooth jazz of The 4-D Man Radio #monsterdon
So this is the Pink Panther short before the movie? #Monsterdon
I feel like weβre listening to the opening of the Pink Panther.
In C-O-L-O-R #monsterdon
Representing Lemmy, Mastodon's fediverse sibling, for #monsterdon !!!
A saucy jazz number to start!!
ZIP
POW
BASH
went the credits.
#monsterdon
Okay, got my 4D glasses ready!
#monsterdon
So if I put on 3-D glasses and did a lot of shrooms could I see 4-D? #monsterdon
Ok, #Monsterdon #MondayActionMovie #FridayThrillerClub #KungFuSat folks chime in!
4-D Man v Rambo
'Can your heart stand the _shocking_ facts about the case of M. Valdemar!?'
also doctor concrete or conkite or whatever offering him money sounded like evil captain kirk offering good universe spock money and whatever else he wants to get out of the brig
@Louisa thatβs who i was tagging as a sort of Dr. Spaceman era Chris Parnell #monsterdon
@davesdogmaggie I second it! #Monsterdon #4DMan1959 π₯πΏ
@diazona Thanks for letting me know! I updated my page with a link to your comment. :)
Too bad that 4D Man wasnβt made by Hammerβ¦ there wouldβve been a climactic fire
That was a pretty good ending. Linda shoots Scott, and he crazy monologues into a concrete storage wall. π
"I am invincible!"
For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about 4D Man (1959) and the second, Wrong Frogs feature.
Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gears & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"
... and you're done.
@davesdogmaggie I'd watch the crap outta that! #monsterdon
#monsterdon the lab tech who creeped on Linda at the beginning and then spilled the secrets looks like an actor and I can picture his face but can't remember where I've seen it, and it's killing me
Law & Order maybe?? Dang it
Motion to rename this movie βThe Corganite Maneuverβ.
It's a bit of a trope, isn't it? The little girl wandering past, and interacting with, the monster at his most lethal moment?
We've seen that in earlier main-character-becomes-villain movies. I'll be watching for that scene in future features.
@Louisa like that kind of makes Tony the real genius in the family (and got doted on or something for it) and Scott's competent and actually does the work but still feels inferior and frustrated and that'd be okay _except_ Dr. Cronkite or whatever keeps taking that away too, right? that makes some of what we see make more emotional sense to me anyway
@Louisa and then scott could at the end go to the boss and be like "i won't be drained anymore, i'm going to leave this lab and also this babe and go be undrainable" #monsterdon
@diazona 4D man could roofie a drink that had a thumb covering the bottle opening! I mean, with all those murders it definitely seems plausible. #Monsterdon #4DMan1959
@Louisa nobody ever commented on how there were two brothers where one could create impenetrable objects and one could penetrate anything and suspect they might be linked or anything. #monsterdon
@moira I thought it was for emergency delta-V on unplanned-untethered spacewalks. As might happen during the zero-G duel between protag and antag. #Monsterdon #4DMan1959
Our hero has fucked off into a wall, possibly to bleed to death from his obvious bullet wound? Unclear? Anyway. This one was my last one from home for a while, so I'm looking forward to having to scoot my phone under my office monitor stand when there's boobies. Goodnight #monsterdon, give thanks to @Taweret who makes the organizing happen, and see y'all next week!
@Terencio @strangefour I hear there's a vas deferense #monsterdon
So Jellyfin just goes from one film to the next. And thanks to alphabetic sorting it went from "4D Man" to Airplane (1978). And now that's what we're watching for a little while...
#monsterdon
I can't watch this new one, but 4D Man was fun. Thanks to all who make it happen.
@apLundell In my telling of the story, the wall he gets stuck in at the end is storing Cargonite.
That might be a total miss-read, but I think it's funny, so I'm sticking with it.
Especially when the minimum wage workers you get to clean it get superpowers...
@cd0 no one ever sees βitβ coming, whatever βitβ happens to be (Especially the ending). Thatβs the beauty and curse of #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon #4DMan1959 and it just ends.
ok
well uh
don't kill people if you get stuck in your in the fourth dimension, kids!
Some after movie lobby music. #Monsterdon #4Dman
All of this movie is told in voiceover. Nobody's lips move.
I guess it helps to make your movie under a major studio -- you get access to a good music department and a host of character actors.
Everything but someone who could punch up the script.
I did appreciate seeing character actor Guy Raymond though, a staple of my TV watching youth.
@overholt yeah I was going sayβafter killing 10 people, how do you bounce back from that π #monsterdon
That wasn't a great movie, but it wasn't terrible. We have definitely watched worse!
(But have we _heard_ worse? DUN DUN DUNNNN)
thanks to all the #monsterdon hosts for a wonderful night at the movies #4dman1959 ! <3<3<3
@plaidtron3000 Yes, I wouldn't trust that reactor to behave properly any more with a guy stuck inside it. #Monsterdon #4DMan1959 1959
That sure was some sort of moving picture thing with an interesting choice in music and some pretty bad acting. Rot{scope special effects were a surprise, a little better then we usually get on monsterdon
#Monsterdon #4DMan #MonsterdonBingo
That was a nutty one, so much zany music. Thanks @Taweret !
#Monsterdon
Wow, that really was something. What, I don't know, but something.
Thanks for making a boring movie with the most ill-conceived soundtrack maybe in history fun. Y'all are the real 4D folks, and the Owlbear loves you.
Take care of each other. Be kind, spread love, and listen to better jazz.
Goodnight!
Well that had moments that were really good. The music is gonna be stuck in my head for days. But it was very slow to start. Most of the 4D effects that were camera tricks and not just green screen wear great.
If it wasn't for Linda at the end there I'd probably say this was the worst movie we've done this year. But it's just fine if mostly dull.
#Monsterdon #4Dman
@Taweret I assume he died inside the wall. The power probably stopped upon death because he brain signals stopped too... #Monsterdon #4DMan1959 π₯πΏ
βYou didnβt hurt me! Nothing can hurt me! You didnβt hurt me! Nothing can stop me now!β one can only assume an impressionable young lad named Trent Reznor got some of his first lyrical inspirations from watching this #Monsterdon
I enjoyed the jazz in this movie
But it really only ever had one mood, pretty much. Peppy mayhem
@jivens Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read #WrongJoke #monsterdon
@YsengrinWolf Yes, that's where I thougtht it was going somehow (I didn't expect her to kill him *with a gun*, though!) #Monsterdon #4DMan1959
That sure was a thing.
#monsterdon A QUESTION MARK!! fuck you movie lol
I can go a long time without hearing bongos again.
Thank you @Taweret and everyone for another
#Monsterdon
THE
FUCK
?
Nothing can hurt him! - except schtupping his brother
Alright people, you survived another movie. As always, you have one last task;
Was THE 4D MAN (1959) the WORST #MONSTERDON MOVIE of the year?
@xerozohar the next Castlevania game, with a very different and yet still amazing soundtrack.
the end ? thanks everyone for another great #monsterdon and to @Taweret as always for hosting
seriously what did he fuck off into?? #monsterdon
Next week: 4D Man goes to College
The end ?
WELL... that was terrible.
Scott disappears into an electrical panel with a gun shot... the end? What kind of ending was that?! #monsterdon #4dman1959
And then Lee Meriwether fucked off to better movies. Good times. Thanks @Taweret as always and have a good night everyone! #monsterdon
ββTwas beauty killed the beast.β
Or maybe the drummer did it.
Thanks, @Taweret . This one definitely pushed it to fifty. #monsterdon
Yes, question mark on that, indeed. #Monsterdon #4DMan1959
ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS WITH THAT ENDING? #Monsterdon
?
That was a .... free movie
Thanks everyone for coming to the #Monsterdon drive-in!
See you all next week!
wait what
Andβ¦ thatβs the end #Monsterdon
Wait what?
-FIN
#Monsterdon #4DMan
Another #Monsterdon is in the can!
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
Tonight's feature, #4DMan, from 1959, did not require red/blue cardboard glasses to provide us with,
4D jazz!Laboratory fire!Cargonite!Ridiculous love triangle!MAD Magazine style security posters!Force field machine!4D hand!Death by 4D!is this where Hausu comes from
Forever sealed in Cargonite on Jabba the Hutt's wall
"I can go through lead walls, brick walls, I can go through steel..." Huzzah, the Wall-Man is here!
#Monsterdon #4DMan1959
he fucked off into the D
well that's a way to fuck off
Jesus, even the villain getting shot is accompanied by the music from a beatnik poetry slam. #Monsterdon
I kinda liked that part. It had a real Tony Montana Scarface energy.
