Rod Serling told someone "no" and they went and made a whole movie, didn't they

#Monsterdon

This is a hep, happenin' intro to the 1959 flick baby. I'm diggin' it.

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Huh, I thought there was one scene near the beginning where somebody mentioned Scott and Linda being a couple (and having been so for a while), in such a way that if either of them thought otherwise it would have been mentioned 🤷

Plus there was that conversation in the middle where Tony and Linda talk about this being the second time he "steals" one of Scott's girlfriends

I thought the reason she was shocked at Scott's proposal was that, at that point, she knew that Scott knew she was going after Tony and she either expected Scott to realize their relationship was over, or had actually broken up with him (offscreen).

But yeah if Scott and Linda were not together in the beginning then that all looks very different

@kshernandez

Every vote counts.

Should “4-D Man” be renamed “The Corganite Maneuver”?

#Monsterdon

@diazona Oh heck! Very good to know!

#Monsterdon

i find it really funny how the one thing that can bring most moderately large instances to their knees for extended periods of time is b-movies

#Monsterdon

That's right, they totally ditched the discount Rod Serling narrator from the start of the movie.

His contract ran out quicker than I expected.

#Monsterdon

@Violinknitter Linda saved the day! #Monsterdon

@diazona I love it so much. They don't make 'em like that very often. Apparently I took for granted the way it actually fits with the narrative

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

This is what I watch #Monsterdon to see. Badly paced, interesting sci-fi concepts with cool sound effects. And some surprising character switches. And cool jazz. Thanks @Taweret, @Cherizilla and @JoeWynne for another great flick.

@bryanhowell this is one of those "silent films" that are all the rage these days

#Monsterdon

ersatz Rod Serling for the intro VO

#monsterdon #MasterofHorror1964

@strangefour I've felt like doing that at some social situations #Monsterdon

Update: She killed him

#Monsterdon

Having the woman save the day is cool.

#Monsterdon #4DMan

One has to ask, if Tony hadn't Jolene'd his brother Scott, would he have turned into the monster he did?

I think Tony is the culprit here. He couldn't hold back his babe-winning ways.

#Monsterdon

intermission, featuring dying geese

#Monsterdon

I liked it. I might have loved it. I'm ready for Son of 4D Man

#monsterdon #4dman1959

Well, that's how it goes daddio

#monsterdon

my dons have been thoroughly monstered. my monsters have been thoroughly donned? done? thoroughly done? anyways, bad movie was bad

#Monsterdon

That was actually pretty good. I would watch this again! Thank you for hosting @Taweret , and thank you for the wonderful watch party #Monsterdon. Have a great week everyone!

Weird, but as these go, pretty decent. Entertaining. Thanks #monsterdon ers. Take care. See ya soon.

#Monsterdon

so has someone been trying to get a transporter lock on this guy for like the last 20 minutes because that's what it sounds like

#monsterdon #4Dman1959

"Will you come with me?"

let it go Scott, your real lover is dead and you know it

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Brother Tony reminds me of a young William Shatner

lol, this is like fighting over the CD tray

#Monsterdon

Can’t say I’m going to mourn Roy overmuch. #Monsterdon

how many times can you point at the drum section and go "do it like tss, t-t-tss, t-t-tss again" #monsterdon

haha they get to play with the incinerator prop again

love this for the effects team

#Monsterdon

Some of the acting in this is actually pretty good.

#Monsterdon

Tony this is a dumb idea. Yeah he can walk through walls but just... go around the things he goes through. He's not going through the Great Wall of China. Just play zone defense.

#monsterdon #4dman1959

Tony once again dealing with the crushing weight of his *checking notes* sex appeal is what it says here 🤨

#Monsterdon

Majorie, when a stranger is telling you to get lost and not have anything to do with them, let them be a stranger and get lost.

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe It's just taking them a while to phase it out. #monsterdon

I thought for a second the bartender was the same as the security guard, but no apparently they found two different extremely gangly white guys. #monsterdon

@SnoopJ If they just will their bullets hard enough to interact with him....

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

@bryanhowell his shoes stay 3D. it hurts like shit but it's worth it

#Monsterdon

…the 2D man orders a plate of beer

#monsterdon #4dman1959

"Sam, champagne… and brandy. Make it a brandagne. And bring the bottle."

#Monsterdon

For some reason my copy of this film had no sound during the 'bar floozy' scene

#Monsterdon

No audio for a bit there?

Maybe Tony took my audio

#Monsterdon

Scene: drinking solemnly at the bar after killing two people.

Soundtrack: 🎺🎺🎺

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

@SnoopJ Reg has been caught in a stream for 45 minutes now...

@bunnyhero You're watching Wall-e? ( well sorta) #monsterdon

"Power corrupts, and 4D power corrupts absolutely."

-Nietzsche or something.

#monsterdon #4dman1959

once it became a crime movie it's like the production team went all "thank fuck, we know how to do this" and now it kinda works.

#monsterdon #4Dman1959

@bryanhowell #monsterdon

Nah. Netflix would insist I finish the first season on a cliffhanger, then cancel it.

"no....err....officer....that sounds absurd......paper in metal? I have to go now...."

#Monsterdon

I wish we could have seen the heist, tho :(

#Monsterdon

I'm going to upload the script for this movie to AO3 I swear. I'm gonna get a movie deal out of it and make this movie as horny as the writers clearly intended 🤣✨

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

I mean by his very nature, 'jails can not hold him'

#Monsterdon

Allow me to jiggle your buxom arms comfortingly
#Monsterdon

@flowerpot Yes! How did you know?
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon He's not aging, he's flocked, like a christmas tree.

Say what you will about the movie but I must have this soundtrack.

#monsterdon #4dman1959

@apLundell

His prize for inventing invisible ink.

#Monsterdon

How he can will himself into a rotoscoped visual effect shot. #monsterdon

Okay wait… this movie kicks ass!

#monsterdon #4dman1959

*after a carefree night of committing petty crime by violating physics and stealing fifty grand from a local bank, Scott wakes to find himself transformed into uhhhhhh a man who never took up a skincare routine*

#monsterdon

"goddam this is the funniest apple I've ever eaten!"

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ After 50 minutes, the movie momentarily got going

#Monsterdon

This counts as a "learning the powers" montage, right? #Monsterdon #4DMan1959

They should’ve named this “The Man Who Could Fist Stuff”

#monsterdon #4dman1959

Roy is a no good bum!

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

@athena_rising The Hepcat Who Walks Through Walls

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

I'm beginning to think none of these men are flirting with each other and it's all in my head 🥺✨

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

Scott's gone power mad. #monsterdon

I am really digging this hip 60s jazzy soundtrack.

#Monsterdon #4DMan

Tony, look. We have to go drive to the store.

We need a watermelon. Stat.

"Scott....the amplifier isn't working!"

lol, nice

#monsterdon #4dman1959

lol that guy is a real sleazy asshole, I hope he gets 4 Dimensioned

#Monsterdon

whoa, neat shot for 1959!!!! #monsterdon

his fingers going pale on the other side of the cargonite was pretty good, gotta hand it to em

#Monsterdon

forget dames, let's team up and phase our hands into a bunch of stuff #monsterdon

Oh no! He impenetrated his hand while I was tooting. Now I look the fool 😂✨

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

He's "depenetrating" and it didn't go as planned
#Monsterdon

4D at 40 minutes

#Monsterdon #4Dman1959

one brother with humongous brainwaves faces off against his brother with subliminal horny rays that keep merging all his babe atoms
#monsterdon

The in-betweener music is sounding very Batman-like.

#Monsterdon

Angry bongos! They show Scott's anger!
#Monsterdon #4Dman

“It’s not me, Scott. It’s you.”

#Monsterdon

Remember when there was sci-fi in this movie? I know it was like 3 minutes here and there. #monsterdon

Marjorie I will BURY YOU if you don't go to bed this instant.

#monsterdon #4DMan1959

@Ayyyydrew Seriously, this whole movie is a chain smoker.

“You are so healthy," the doctor says, as the patient lights up a cigarette in the doctor’s office.

#Monsterdon

Dr. Spaceman wants his own lab. #monsterdon

"If he gets his brother working here I want my own lab"

I can believe this is how Science operates...

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Ahhhh, Roy's here. Men, clench.

Missed marketing opportunity: a tie-in between cargonite and the 1959 reintroduction of red Fiestaware, now made using depleted uranium.

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

have them both dear, be poly, the true 4th dimensional

"if I didn't love you"

oh c'mon girl...

#Monsterdon

Just me laughing maniacally at Tony's confession

#Monsterdon

The amount of bullshit flowing from this man's mouth is awe inspiring.

The pencil isn't penetrating the impenetrable metal, they just merged essences while he was busy using the machine to impenetrate himself.

Do I have that right?

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

sister, it's not enough for us
