@ryan such a curse of science and bad writing
#Monsterdon

DANGER
DANGER
HIGH VOLTAGE!

When we touch! When we kiss!
#monsterdon

stick a screwdriver in the 4D demon core already #Monsterdon

He's gettin' handsy on the job already. Yeesh.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I gave her a zoo's worth of STDs and I LOVED IT!

#Monsterdon👨 ⬆️ ↔️ 🔄 ⏲️ 🧱 👨 😱

this relationship is icky

Hey, Peter Parker works there

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959 🎥🍿Sucks for Scott!

Dude, you aren’t "taking" a girl from him. It's her decision. She’s her own person, with her own ability to choose.

#Monsterdon

This woman throws around "love" like it's a 5-minute impulse thing
#Monsterdon

I took her and I went away with her! And I lost her at Montgomery Wards. I felt so... I felt so foolish.

#monsterdon #4DMan1959

#monsterdon I gesture broadly! Point! Gesture! Oops!

Tony has no idea about the science behind what he witnessed, so he’s defaulted to “I willed it to happen, and it happened.”

#Monsterdon

This is how science works in the fourth dimension I guess, you just will it and it happens

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

#monsterdon We all know he's going to break into the lab and connect himself to the machine.

So, come on, Let's do it.

#Monsterdon👨 ⬆️ ↔️ 🔄 ⏲️ 🧱 👨 😱

Linda. Gross.

I think that stair fall counts as physical comedy, so I can mark that square off on #MonsterdonBingo, but it wasn't funny.

#Monsterdon

Robert Lansing (Scott) is giving Robert Stack vibes to me.

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

What if I could combine delicious peanut butter with rich milk chocolate? What would you say then, huh? Cue the jazz!

#monsterdon #4DMan1959

@SnoopJ I didn't see it, but maybe there was a blink and you miss it before the fire?

#Monsterdon #4Dman1959

Penetration

#monsterdon #4dman1959

Concrete, wood, steel! All the elements!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Cargonite is a gateway material, it's the first step to making UNOBTANIUM. It’s amazing, but nobody can get it, because it's un... obtain… ium... **cacke**

"I'm gonna penetrate this metal and enjoy it!" #monsterdon

"Press releases", "Security reasons"...this is just Tech Bros hustle...

#Monsterdon

stop smoking Scott

And your brother is trying to tell you that woman ain't going to marry you..

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon All the geiger clicking in the world and they all aren't sterilized yet. Shucks.

This sountrack needs a beatnick poetry recital. #monsterdon

@nev the scientists are brothers, the jazz is in the air, and the gate security is lax

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

I spy a recording mike.....

#Monsterdon

Why does this feel like it wants to be a musical? Wtf is going on? #Monsterdon

This lady came here to fuck shit up for those brothers....

#Monsterdon

Someone get out the piña coladas, they're already caught in the rain

#Monsterdon #4DMan

She takes a ball right to the face

#monsterdon #4dman1959

I'm surprised they didn't pull out the lawn darts #monsterdon

Is she going to do the brother right in front of him, is that where the 4 dimensional rage comes from.
Scott smokes too much, even for the 50s

#Monsterdon

@bunnyhero WHOOPSIE 😳✨

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

Tony is obviously Gay
#Monsterdon

That's some awkward dancing. Didn't blow the movie budget on the dance coach.

#monsterdon

@hollie I get the feeling Linda being poly would resolve this entire plot in 20 minutes

#monsterdon

Kinda heading toward Cain and Able territory if they keep this up. #Monsterdon

“You could probably lick hands down.” Ewww. #Monsterdon

"Tony, we're trying to keep you off the streets. Take the job." #Monsterdon

#monsterdon OH MY GOD! THE WAITER IS ON FIRE! Wait, no, that's baked alaska. Nevermind.

fucking hell, they did not wait around....

#Monsterdon

Back when restaurants allowed smoking

#Monsterdon #4Dman1959

oh lord, are we gonna have to WATCH the dinner?

#monsterdon #4DMan1959

Aaaaand marrying you secretary... great. This has all the progressiveness you'd expect out of a 1959 movie, which is to say none. #monsterdon rdon

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959 oh look! the only girl in the movie. cue the sexy music

These two dashing scientists have some Heated Rivalry energy 🫢

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

#Monsterdon👨 ⬆️ ↔️ 🔄 ⏲️ 🧱 👨 😱

all appearances of ✨ LADY ✨ must be accompanied by 🎷 🎶

Carson -> Cargonite

Yeah that makes sense

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959

Bickering scientists have a very "Game Opening Movie" to it....where's my crowbar?

#Monsterdon #Halflife

Why is Carson's product Cargonite and not Carsonite?

#monsterdon

@bunnyhero I was losing track!

#Monsterdon

This young Henry Rollins is so gonna blow up that lab

#Monsterdon

The stuff they froze Han Solo in?! #monsterdon

“Let’s not have any contamination problem this time”

This time? This time??? #Monsterdon

For a movie about fourth dimenions

these characters are awfully one-dimentional. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Scientists love this show.

Only American Science can create an irradiated rice crispie bar!

#monsterdon #4dman

@MatthewTitus88 the bursts of wild jazz are helping #monsterdon

What does grey box with flickery blue light signify? Science containment box. #monsterdon

Those days when you could just turn up at any research facility as a white dude and say "let me, my brother works there"

#MOnsterdon

@faoluin Good(?) news: it's still 3-4 grad student years (stipend-wise)

#Monsterdon #4Dman1959

"...as we enter... The Scary Door"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon THE MODEL IS ON FIRE. THE BUILDING MODEL... oh noes! That's the problem with fire practical effects, the fire itself has a inherent scale and so the building is uh, “just a model” LOL

At least my PC didn't burst into flames like that...

#MOnsterdon

a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination

#monsterdon #4dman1959

I’ll just take this fire here and put it with the fire over there. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon "oh no... NO! No. No. No! Ohhhh no."

Understandable reaction to starting a huge electronics fire

Oh my god we have an opening narration monologue!! So it's going to be like that, is it?

#monsterdon

"The Fourth Dimension!" ... It's about time

#monsterdon
#4DMan

When electronics were macro #monsterdon

Tape a red square to the wall

For science, Bob

#Monsterdon

with a lab THAT big, he's definitely getting military money...

#monsterdon

Oh he pretty. #monsterdon

got home just in time! digging this jazzy intro

#monsterdon

*slowly undresses secretary to jazz...

#Monsterdon

Well, the music is awesome. #monsterdon

#monsterdonAlert

#monsterdon

GO GO GO GO!!

Tea is ready, hashtag #Monsterdon column is pinned. We're ready to go!

Who's in charge of keeping track of the bodies tonight? #WatchPartyAlert been looking like #TVMysteries lately.

#Monsterdon #4DMan1959 🎥🍿

@strangefour "This cask is made for me" #monsterdon #thecaskofamontillado

Ooh, when/if we finally do Reptilian, the double feature on @ryan​s stream could be the original Yongary from 1967. Look at him go! #monsterdon

The bad news is, Voldemort still has to pay his taxes....

#monsterdon #Wrong4D

I still wish they'd made scott and tony kiss in the car. maybe tony could have fixed scott. oh well.

#monsterdon #4dMan

@ottaross Didn't we see another #monsterdon recently where the little girl was just as helpful, fearless, and pushy?

@ottaross Starting with the novel Frankenstein. #Monsterdon

don't worry Voldemort, you'll be freed from this movie soon....

#monsterdon #Wrong4D

@Louisa it would have made way more sense for tony to have been the life force drainer and then for scott to be like "this piece of shit has been draining me all my life" or whatever #monsterdon

"Desire" is the 4th "D".....

#monsterdon #Wrong4D

@Louisa I think there's hints of an earlier version of the script where Scott was to be implied to be stealing Tony's ideas and/or glory like Dr. Concrete or whatever was stealing Scott's ideas and/or glory setting up some kind of parallel in the story but it didn't make it to screen

#monsterdon #4Dman1959

#monsterdon what if Scott came up with the idea that he could phase through matter, then pushed away his loving fiancee as madness took hold, then went too far and started killing people and aging rapidly, until Linda shot him

What I'm saying is: Tony didn't need to be in this movie

"The audience is sleeping also...."

#monsterdon #Wrong4D

@combatwombat The Poe gender is hot-goth-adjacent. #Monsterdon #4DMan1959

#Monsterdon👨 ⬆️ ↔️ 🔄 ⏲️ 🧱 👨 😱

that one made no sense obviously

thanks for hosting, @Taweret and for bingo @cherizilla and for trivia @JoeWynne and for the sound track a whole ding dang jazz band

but most of all, thanks to all you #Monsterdonians for making it fun!

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

❤️ Thank you @Taweret for hosting this dimensional dalliance.

🅱️ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite: "Men with shiny hair"

🎞️ and more thanks to @paco for data analysis and @combatwombat for the replays.

🦖And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: Supremely enjoyable scroll tonight. Now to calm my mind with night bongos.

Get all your Ds in this week!

This is a tale within a tale. If we keep Inceptioning, I'm outta here.

#monsterdon #Wrong4D

Another #monsterdon comes to an end.

This was more fun than I expected. I didn't mind the sound track, and the eerie 4d audio effect was at least used consistently.

Happy to see the unexpected (for the time/genre) final girl reveal.

And I thought the "stuck in a wall of Cargonite" ending was humorous.

Thanks for all the toots, and thanks again to @Taweret for hosting!

Next time!
