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

"How did you get in here?"

"I'm a locksmith."

#Monsterdon

So does Scott... suck the time out of other people? Did he suck Brian's time away? Is that a Steely Dan song?

#monsterdon #4dman1959

Now that the sci-fi crime spree montage is over we can finally get back to the romance plot and scientists expositing in the workplace

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

ageing isn't 'losing energy'

#monsterdon

That is the reaction of man who accidentally murdered his gay lover with Superscience.

A tragedy

#Monsterdon

America's security is always our job. That's why we've expedited the process of creating old white men

#Monsterdon

“Just tell him I won’t be in today. Tell him I’m fine. I’m not aging prematurely due to sticking my hands through walls. I’m fine.”
#monsterdon

that was a very Kermit-esque "hello"

#Monsterdon

@hollie I like your crime wave a lot better than this ass hole's.

#monsterdon

Stealing mail is one thing, Scott, but littering? Littering?!?

#monsterdon #4dman1959

#monsterdon

I'm reeling. They made the guy 4-D and all of a sudden I am flipping around on this movie.

They could snatch back the stink-eye if they don't do more 4-D hijinks soon, though.

#Monsterdon

Sticking your hand through the metal is one thing, Now we're driving around without a windshield.

#Monsterdon

You never needed the amplifier… you only needed to believe in yourself

#monsterdon #4dman1959

If Linda switches brothers because of the 4-Dification, I'm gonna lose it (good kind)

#Monsterdon

The big chunk of metal around your hand is going to be embarrassing at the water cooler.

#Monsterdon

The jazz band is the main character.

#Monsterdon

Credit where it's due, Scott just very capably demonstrated exactly what eating too much ice cream too fast looks like. While an inexplicable jazz soundtrack plays in the background.

#monsterdon

When your brother smooches your gal so you hook up his art school project without asking

#Monsterdon

“Maybe I just wanted to look at you?”

“You could have stood outside my bedroom window, like you normally do.”

#Monsterdon

this man just learned that his brainwaves are humongous have a little sympathy #monsterdon

“Just tell me, am I hot?”
“Not as hot as your brother, apparently.” #Monsterdon

lol it's his job to tell his brother

patriacrchy harms us all

#Monsterdon

NO ONE WILL BE SEATED DURING THE REQUISITIONING MONTAGE!
#Monsterdon

the pencil and the metal block have more chemistry than these two do

#Monsterdon

You have to BELIEVE that the pauli exclusion principle is temporarily suspended and in exactly the way you intend. #monsterdon

lol "with your brain, with occult powers?"

loving the sarcasm at woo

#Monsterdon

The color is pretty good for 1959

one of the nicest things I can say about this movie so far

#Monsterdon

"Look at this art piece I have spray painted silver"

#Monsterdon #4DMan

🎵 Do you like science experiments
And getting caught in the rain
Are you not into electrodynamics
And you have half a brain 🎵

#Monsterdon

We're all out of women, Tony. But we're working on inventing more

#Monsterdon

"This is only a prototype, you see. A simple proof of concept. Someday it will be bigger. NINE TIMES bigger. And we will call it... the RUBIK'S CUBE."

#monsterdon

“Cargonite, as in Carson?” Well, no, that’s not how you spell Carson. #Monsterdon

"Women in Science"

Answers the phone, has to deal with a predatory boss...

#Monsterdon

We're two minutes into the flick and some guy's already harassing the lady scientist.

#monsterdon

lol, burns down entire lab....

#Monsterdon

From jazzy jazz to stone solemn soliloquy ↩️

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

Behold, a man, an idea!

#Monsterdon

If it has a good soundtrack, then it can’t be *too* bad… right?

#4dman1959 #monsterdon

Patty Duke is in this movie! Will she have an identical cousin?!

#Monsterdon

[seductive trumpet]

#Monsterdon

also i'm bummed i didn't get to a "I want my father back, you son of a bitch" variant for that speech until WAY too late

#monsterdon #4Dman1959

That was a pretty good ending. Linda shoots Scott, and he crazy monologues into a concrete storage wall. 😆

"I am invincible!"

#Monsterdon #4DMan

My diagnosis is that I only have 10 more minutes before I fall asleep.

#monsterdon #Wrong4D

@Configures @plaidtron3000 "funny story about this old reactor..."

#Monsterdon

Also in case someone needs to mute the beginning post of a #Monsterdon thread (so you don't see all subsequent posts), I put a couple screenshots up of where to do that on my Monsterdon page. Share with friends who say, "Dear god what is this monsterdon thing and how do I escape it"

(I mean also share how to mute a hashtag, but just muting a conversation is also useful if you just want to avoid it for one Sunday night)

@jonny

A tale as old as time.

#Monsterdon

@cargot_robbie 😂

Honestly though, I think The Incredibles took it up another level. That was a truly spectacular soundtrack.

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

he fucked off into the D

#monsterdon

Oscar time!
#Monsterdon

Wow nice Motorola product placement. Look at that chonker of a radio. #monsterdon

LINDA! Goddamn! You go girl!

#monsterdon #4dman1959

@moira at least make it a cool dinosaur. like a t-rex. or a raptor of some sort.

#Monsterdon

lol, Linda will kill him though...

#Monsterdon

Pretty cool that he's able to stay on a particular floor and not slip right through it. But then again Geordie and Roe Laren didn't have much trouble with that either. #monsterdon

Parker got drained so strap in for a miserable Vulture-heavy storyline

#Monsterdon

@nev @SnoopJ It could have been significantly better if it had any notion of pacing in the first 50 minutes

#Monsterdon

wow, tiny radio unit that guy was slinging there

#Monsterdon

That brotherly competition "oh, you're in 4 dimensions are you?!"

#Monsterdon

Roy is such a grifting, sleazy prick

#Monsterdon

I swear, I've seen SCPs that are more or less like this guy

#Monsterdon #4Dman1959

Marjorie is about to go from 8 years old to 28

#Monsterdon #4DMan

I wonder if it’s time for Cargonite to make a dramatic third act reappearance. #Monsterdon

@SnoopJ Can't pass up the opportunity to hit bystanders

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

Whoops, got Mr. Magoo. #Monsterdon

@LK_877 Tuning in late and finding out how he's rejuicing himself 👵🏻💀🪦🤣 #Monsterdon

"He's found a way to renew his energy."

He's a vampire! They're always vampires. #Monsterdon

"Don't let him get near me? The bastard can PHASE THROUGH WALLS what am I supposed to do? Use the Force?"

#monsterdon #4dman1959

My wife hates female characters who faint from shock at things, she likes the ones that get a punch in

#Monsterdon

"Tony they're gonna track him down like a manimal"

#Monsterdon

I like this movie. I just have to remember not to be a stickler for requiring it to make sense. It’s fun though.
#monsterdon

Jazz timpani

#monsterdon #4dman1959

Hwhere? Hwhy?
I told you Hwhy

#monsterdon

Usually you need a tornado to embed hundred dollar bills in stuff.

#monsterdon
#4Dman1959

@hollie Well, as long as the operation doesn't age the organ into nothing

#Monsterdon #4Dman1959

took almost an hour but we're finally getting the 4d
#monsterdon

@bstacey And, I’m a locksmith. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon He drank from the wrong grail...

I bet that effect blew 1950s minds

#Monsterdon

"I don't bother with doors now....I AM A GOD!"

#Monsterdon

The posters are *not* what I'm used to in university labs. Are things different in national labs?

#Monsterdon #4Dman1959

Felony count approaching 3️⃣ rapidly

#Monsterdon

He's gonna put Tony's machine in the Kargonite generator and invent Goober Grape #Monsterdon

The Fifth Dimension turns people into 60s musical groups #monsterdon

#monsterdon It also turned him into a litterbug. Now there's going to be squirrels fighting for that partially eaten apple! What a menace!

“He came in really late last night. I didn’t want to wake him, so I haven’t seen him in almost two days.”

Tony can’t do date math very well.

#Monsterdon

springtime for science men infected by the 4th dimension, where their thoughts turn to bank robbery
#Monsterdon

you reckon eating the apple is a biblical metaphor

#Monsterdon

the 0.5 sec looping twinkly sound lmao

anyway, FELONY COUNT: 1️⃣

#Monsterdon

@socketwench brain affected by jazz/big-band radiation

#Monsterdon

@paco

Of course he wears a tie to bed. He's not a SAVAGE!

#Monsterdon

Tony! You and I managed to pass through the same object!

[Excerpt from The Linda Project, Redacted file 18.9-B]

#Monsterdon

*in a fit of jealousy, Scott breaks into Tony's locker at the lab and attempts to replicate his methodology for jamming a pencil through a solid block of metal. He succeeds! Too well! His hand is stuck through the block!*

Scott has just revolutionized the crime of raiding the cookie jar

#monsterdon

lol, ever been so high your hand passed through an object?

And then getting stuck, I was terrified of that sort of thing as a child for some reason, 'teleporting' always carried an element of fear.

I'd take the shuttle, like Dr McCoy.

#Monsterdon

I appreciate the intense jazz breaks where I know it's safe to look away and toot

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

wow, the soundtrack kinda matches the events on-screen, for once

#Monsterdon

wow, single mom!

You go girl!

"When your mommy gets home.."

Wait, she's not yours?

#Monsterdon

@cargot_robbie Unsure if we can call it a "sub"plot at this point given that nothing else seems to be happening

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959
