*Scott hoovers up the life force of Dr. Carson, doing a murder except this time on purpose, ranting about how Carson kept stealing all the credit for Scott's work*

Is the implication that Scott has been driven mad by having his marriage proposal to Linda be rebuffed? Is his weakening grip on reality being corroded by the same misbehaving electrical brain impulses revealed earlier in the film? Has his sudden acquisition of superpowers cleaved him from reality?

OR IS IT THE JAZZ

#monsterdon

Ah, and now the traditional Invisible Man creepshot :/ #Monsterdon

@flowerpot Yeah Scott penetrated a friend to death, by somehow making him age to 90 in a couple of seconds
#Monsterdon

The lab signage is very silly

#Monsterdon #4DMan

It is simply impossible to take any emotional beats seriously in this movie with that soundtrack carrying on like it is.

*Scott reaches through a mailbox to pull out a letter; a silly little jazz ditty plays him on*

See, that's a straight-up federal crime he's committing, but it's coming across like a Looney Tunes segment or something from Sesame Street. No gravity whatsoever.

#monsterdon

Honestly the only reason to wear a suit is so you can just walk up to any bouquet of flowers anywhere, pluck one out, and stick it in the button hole

#Monsterdon #4DMan

I really like the greasy prof and the mobbed-up lab manager guy who wants his own lab

that's legitimately well-done stuff IMO

#Monsterdon

don't get caught in the lab with your hand merged into a block of steel you'll get fired for sure #monsterdon

Whenever the music starts I keep expecting a bunch of people in ponytails and berets and black capri stretch pants to begin dancing in the background

#Monsterdon #4DMan

“I hope we don’t end up hating each other.”

Good luck with that. You’re both getting on my nerves pretty quickly. #monsterdon

No one can withstand Linda

#Monsterdon #4DMan

Tony you'll penetrate anything won't you

#Monsterdon

Linda: What are you drawing?

Me: It’s kind of a self-portrait…

#monsterdon #monsterdon #4dman1959

✅ cone bra
✅ they're falling in love
✅ trees
this scene has everything
#monsterdonBingo #monsterdon

I wonder what the wooden dowel is doing right now

#Monsterdon

Is there anybody Linda isn't flirting with 🤦

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

there wasn't even a monster to root for, both brothers suck, the woman sucks, nobody wins in the fourth dimension #monsterdon

@msbellows Personally I think the incongruity between different people being at different points in the movie adds to the chaos which is fun

#Monsterdon

@pngwen @Taweret yeah, I felt like it was competently put together and acted and the story was somewhat engrossing. Also, Jazz.

#Monsterdon

so it was a man being exploited for his research into impenetrable objects, and having a hot brother who steals away all his babes with his babe merging atom waves, that drove him into a life force stealing four-dimensional penetration rampage. and it was only the babe that left him for his brother than could stop him while he was momentarily not four dimensional due to making out #monsterdon

#monsterdon You know what would have been fun? If he had touched the little girl and she became, like, 45 or so.

Scotts cocaine ending

#Monsterdon

@superball He gets malt liquor in a 4D-ounce bottle

#monsterdon #4dman1959

Linda was packin heat the whole time!?

#Monsterdon

Lock the door. THAT will stop him.

#monsterdon #4dman1959

man i'm not following what's going on at all, all i know is that this guy needs to figure out how to like suck the life force out of a field of corn or whatever #monsterdon

I'm gonna laugh if the kargonite kills him. Hoisted by your own metallic petard. #Monsterdon

WE DON'T GET TO SEE ROY DIE!? BOOO!
#Monsterdon #4Dman

Roy is no longer content with impenetrating himself

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

Why is this life-force-vampirism such a trope? #monsterdon

Chief, I've fought this boss fight before. You keep him in the invulnerable state until he burns out. Just make sure you've got enough Press Turns to keep the combo going and you're golden. #Monsterdon

32 is not old (says a 40 something year old)

You ARE supposed to ask!

#Monsterdon

The jazz has gone from nondiegetic to diegetic.

#monsterdon #4dman1959

She lives in Prince's bedroom. #Monsterdon

Carson was 60?!?! That's what 60 looked like?!?!

#monsterdon #4dman1959

reference for looking up that painting later (unless someone happens to know the title or artist and will share)

#Monsterdon

"You've compressed the energy of years into a moment"

welcome to the 2020's my friend....it has been 7 months since New Years

#Monsterdon

@paco I'm filled with weird pride 😂

#Monsterdon #4DMan

Couldn’t sleep… kept falling through the bed

#monsterdon #4dman1959

Okay on a serious note, stealing the apple was a fun metaphor and the practical effects looked great

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

This rocks, these VFX are all so well done! Clever film-making, what the hell?

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ

The only way to find the G spot is through the fourth dimension....

#monsterdon
#4Dman1959

Lab goon

Hired by science mob

#Monsterdon #4DMan

@CactuarJoe it's just a phase #monsterdon

Chekhov wants to ax you a question

#monsterdon #monsterdon #4dman1959

You can always tell when I guy is torn up about something by the state of his tie

#Monsterdon #4DMan

@jonny @Taweret lol I think this is the fourth time I've seen this posted

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

take a shot of booze every time Scott smokes...

It's not the radiation hurting you Scott..

#Monsterdon

Time to switch over the laundry. Don't do anything 4D until I get back!

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

"I've taken a girl from him before!
I can't Jolene him again!"

#Monsterdon

Calgonite take me away!

#monsterdon #4dman1959

Hardcore penetration

#monsterdon #4dman1959

Tony invented drilling holes. #Monsterdon

“Well if you must know, it’s a self portrait.”

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

Dude, you are getting cucked so hard and he’s only been here a day. #Monsterdon

"How do I get in here? My name is <redacted>, I think my brother works in here."

AND IT WORKS

Astonishing

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

That fire is so realistic! It's like I set it myself
🔥😌🔥

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

smashing the "would" button so hard i reach through time and prevent this guy from 4-Ding himself and becoming unattractive via his addiction to life force #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Eh I am not supportive of her blatant (near-?)cheating in the first half of the movie but yeah aside from that I like her

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

@hollie BTW I've learned from previous discussions that "Mute conversation" is a server-specific feature, so not everyone has access to it.

#Monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf The posters were my favorite part.

#monsterdon #4DMan1959

that screaming man is how I feel about these movies

#monsterdon #Wrong4D

"Do you hear the screaming of the lambs, Lucia?"

#monsterdon #Wrong4D

@strangefour #monsterdon

"genre", "gender", what's tha difference?!?

@hollie I just watch for @davesdogmaggie 's link each week. No commercials either. 😃
#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)

#monsterdon

I mean... that movie could be fan-edited into a half-decent 50-minute show.

#monsterdon

I've passed through 4D Man and I feel like I've aged rapidly! Thanks to @Taweret for hosting and the #Monsterdon crew for flirting with Linda. 💋

...I'm going to go tape up some posters.

🥁🥁🎺🎷🎺🎺🎺🥁🥁🎺

Oh hey

Twas beauty killed the beast

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe ouch 😂

Even if I did think this was the worst movie of the year I'd have to vote no on principle to avoid picking on the soundtrack

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

So deliciously terrible. I'm pleased. #monsterdon

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?

*Scott, perforated by Linda's shot to the gut when he went corporeal to try to kiss her, phases through a solid reactor wall; but his hand stays extended out through the wall for some reason, and wilts like an under-watered fern in an air fryer*

THE END

...?

#monsterdon

Soundtrack knows it needs to cut the upbeat bongo rhythms before the kiss but does not know to play more appropriate rhythms

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

DONT TRY TO FIX THE GUY, LINDA!!! #Monsterdon

OK BONGO GUYS WHAT ARE YOU SAYING NOW #monsterdon

Heh, it's hard to take a villain seriously when he snort-laughs like that. #Monsterdon

So weird to have a Monsterdon film in which things happen

#monsterdon #4dman1959

I don't ever eat peanut butter, but sometimes a Butterfinger candy bar is just the thing. That crunchy inside is like nothing else. I wish they could make one with the same texture but coffee dlavored. Or mint. #monsterdon

@SnoopJ I saw Bongos of Intrigue at Glastonbury once..

#Monsterdon

Tony you gotta leapfrog Scott and become the 5D man. It's our only hope.

#monsterdon #4dman1959

[bongos of intrigue play]

#Monsterdon

Man takes responsibility, turns 4 dimensional to sort things out

#Monsterdon

20 cups of coffee for 5 people
#Monsterdon

the woman wants to 4D herself, let her 4D herself #monsterdon

There's always a "Frankenstein's monster meets a little girl" scene with these, isn't there?

#Monsterdon

Is... is Scott about to kill Marjorie..?

Dangit, I should have checked DoesTheInnocentKidHaveHerLifeForceSiphonedLikeAGelflingByASkeksi dot com

#monsterdon

Oh hey, it's the Blacula crowd. #Monsterdon

Now he's an energy vampire, stealing the youth out of those he penetrates?
#Monsterdon

Introducing new hottie at the bar who will definitely die when Scott stumbles and accidentally reaches out and grabs her kidney

#Monsterdon #4DMan

A 2D man, a 3D man, and a 4D man walk into a bar…

#monsterdon #4dman1959

@diazona the jazz is there to fuzz all the facts and hypnotize us into thinking the plot has no cracks

#Monsterdon

[transporter sound continues to play]

#Monsterdon

(it's the jazz)

#monsterdon

YEAH do you think maybe being able to phase through all matter might be affecting your brother's behavior a little!?!?!? #monsterdon

Imagine how he could revolutionize organ transplants

#Monsterdon #4DMan

I stand corrected, the Felony Count is at least at 5️⃣

#Monsterdon

*Scott pulls out Tony's forcefield generator apparatus and, for some reason, loads it into the reaction chamber at the lab*

That... is a very conveniently sized reaction chamber door, that the generator has about a centimetre of clearance on each side.

#monsterdon

I feel like the first half of this movie had too much romance subplot and not enough lab project skulldrudgery subplot.

#Monsterdon #4Dman1959

@ottaross I’ve been thinking Scott looks like Temu Peter Weller

#Monsterdon
