FUN FACT: The fear of eye trauma is called "being a normal human being who has eyes"!

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

My eye doctor has never massaged my eyes. Weird!
#Monsterdon

Ray Milland looks like Jimmy Stewart drowned

#monsterdon

Don Freaking Rickles! #monsterdon

Hypno spiral and wind for the titles, oh yeah

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

We begin well. Hypnotized already! #Monsterdon

Wait, Alta Vista or Buena Vista?

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

Oh the eye is going on a journey...I once saw a French cartoon like this about a severed hand....

#Monsterdon

Don Rickles!
#monsterdon

#monsterdon I'm coming along! LOL! Wheee!

Were the credits supposed to start before this?

#Monsterdon

Man, hypnotoad last week and hypno Z. Arkoff this week. #Monsterdon

Still a better use of "X" than #Twitter

#Monsterdon

Okay, Mr Corman. Your oculaphilia is noted. Can we watch the movie now?
#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

The Emoji Movie, if the emoji is 👁️

#Monsterdon

Poke poke #monsterdon

...Okay, we get it. Eyeball. Can we move on now? #Monsterdon

(some eyeballs were harmed in the making of this movie)

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

Eye see what you did there.

#Monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

Sure, laugh at the freeze-frame, you think it's easy to train an eyeball to stand still for this long?

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

We have lion!

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

Eye eye eye. #Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

It's time to See Right Through You! Hit PLAY now! Go! Go! Go!

Nice lion's-eye opening.

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

The movie also went too hard with the glasses, another thing the comic corrected.

Like, in the casino, James takes more eye-drops because the effect is "wearing off"

BRO YOU ARE LITERALLY WEARING EFFECT DAMPENERS JUST TAKE THEM OFF INSTEAD

#Monsterdon

For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963).

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.

Me and my elder things noticed you from across the universe, and we really don't like your vibe.

#Monsterdon

@Configures He's really an excellent surgeon then! Maybe he should've gone into bare handed surgery instead 😝
#monsterdon

#xthemanwiththexrayeyes asks, Hey kids, wouldn't it be fun if you could see through things?

Well, turns out you can do some cool stuff, but the power makes you crazy. Practically the first thing you do is kill your best friend. Then a carnie takes over your movie and you go along with it until the one person who respects you shows up -- and you're on the run again. Meanwhile the things you see are horrible and you can stop seeing but you don't really want to stop because you keep taking the drug that only makes it worse.

Anyway, in the end you're driven to gouge out the pain, but as we know from the final line that famously was cut, nothing can end your suffering.

Yikes. Quite the #Monsterdon !

Thanks everyone again, and thanks, @Taweret for hosting.

@moira and, like, at least 5 minutes of the extended time would involve full-frontal nudity. #Monsterdon

I left Tubi playing while getting a drink after the ending of tonight’s #Monsterdon movie and came back to it playing “4-D Man” which I can only assume is also some 60s sci-fi schlock so maybe we’ll watch it next week?

Did he pluck out his eyes or did they dissolve? I thought they just dissolved, but this is my first
#monsterdon

"He can't lose"

Okay but YES HE CAN.

This is a filmmaking mistake IMO, they should show him losing a few hands, but still coming out ahead overall.

With perfect knowledge of the deck, in a one-on-one scenario with the dealer, there will be unwinnable hands. It's not that kind of game.

Not a big deal.

Anyway, making it rain!

#Monsterdon

@mariellequinton His optometrist friend WANTED them to wait and check for side effects and all that, but NOOOOO. #Monsterdon #TheManWithTheXRayEyes

If I was an actor, I'd be terrified to let the make-up guy put stuff on my eyes like we saw in this film.

Sorry, I just don't trust my vision to whoever Roger Corman hired to do prosthetics.

#monsterdon

anyway good job team and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting ^_^

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

@lytta It wasn’t an enjoyable movie but it was enjoyable with #Monsterdon. And it was a mess but a different kind of mess than the typical Monsterdon movie. Definitely an interesting watch!

Murder is such a strong word. I'm thinking he'd probably be looking at manslaughter at most, but ianal #monsterdon

#monsterdon Ray Milland as Steven Colbert as the weird lady from Event Horizon (1997)

After tonight's #Monsterdon , I'm going to cleanse my palate with some quality cinema:
Trancers 4: Jack of Swords

https://tubitv.com/es-mx/movies/491331/trancers-4-jack-of-swords

@Louisa me if i saw someone with all black eyes IRL and didn't think it was contacts: damn i didn't know you could get THAT high

#monsterdon

@Louisa my inner cult leader was screaming the same thing at the TV. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

I bet that preacher is not going to be right for a long time. As for me, I am going to go put on some safety goggles. I wear these now. Thanks #Monsterdon !

Thanks for hosting, @Taweret !

👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️

#Monsterdon

Well I have to say, I actually enjoyed the story. #Monsterdon

Fourth Dimension Man is acting like someone who didn't back up their data.

#Monsterdon #TheManWithTheXRayEyes

Well, at least that bit of silliness was lean. Thank you for the company, friends!

(Wouldn't have minded seeing Dr Xavier try to survive with plucked out eyes, tho 🤔)

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithXRayEyes

I'm guessing the crayola vein eyes earlier were also contacts.

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

@davesdogmaggie *groan*

👏 👏 👏

#Monsterdon

@kris_of_pnictogen "We don't need eyes where we're going!" -- Event Horizon #Monsterdon #TheManWithTheXRayEyes

But yeah if you want an honest title for that movie it's "X: The Jerk with X-Ray Eyes" #Monsterdon

here's some important eye advice

#monsterdon

Thank you all for a lovely 2/3s of a film! I'll try not to be tardy next time lol

Thanks @Taweret

#Monsterdon

His suit took more damage than his body in that crash. Did the drug also give airbags?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon and #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes
Thanks for hosting, @Taweret .. it was better than I feared, for sure. I actually felt emotions a couple of times..

#monsterdon
Tent preacher: And whom do you love?
Congregation: The lord!
Me, with auditory processing issues right behind them: Bo Diddley?

@bunnyhero TBH I felt like even having end credits is way more resolution than we usually get

#Monsterdon

So is that little rant at the end supposed to be him seeing a cosmic horror, staring at the Sun, or just going insane from the weird chemicals and X-ray vision?

#monsterdon

On the bright side, I guess the monkey got their revenge #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

Well, he ain't doing research on that anymore.
THE END.
The credits are well worth sitting through.

@wrog The helicopter PA said "California Highway Patrol" - he must have blindly traveled some distance.

#monsterdon

Nope, that was a wrap.

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

Well.

Okay.

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

so the eyedrops turn his vision into rainbows... is this gaydar? #monsterdon

The cinematography in the fleeing car sequence is fantastic!

#Monsterdon

…just had a thought.
Why does he bother turning his head to look at things now?
#Monsterdon

@hollie Yeah, or I wouldn't have minded some wanton screaming and running around

#Monsterdon

@JigmeDatse Yeah, but it wasn't quite as gory as I was afraid it was about to get. Actually a bit unrealistically clean and quick plucking. #Monsterdon #TheManWithTheXRayEyes Too bad he didn't just listen to his eye doctor friend sooner (before defenestrating him!) and lay off the drugs!

@bk1e 🤦

#Monsterdon

Those classic Butler Glouner effects. We'd know 'em anywhere

#monsterdon #credits

@combatwombat @gnomon 💯

#Monsterdon

Dude keeps dosing himself he’s gonna end up strapping blackened telescopes to his eyes.
At least if he wrenches his neck he’ll be able to peer through the bottom of his skull to check.
#Monsterdon

Okay that was amazing, perfect monsterdon movie #xthemanwiththexrayeyes #monsterdon

Told you....

#Monsterdon

just make it take a few seconds longer to remove his entire eyeballs i stg

#monsterdon

Not sure what the credits scene is - can he still see in X-Rays without his eyes now?

#monsterdon

I think I'll keep this one, good times on the old #monsterdon

And there’s the patented abrupt ending.
#Monsterdon

He plucked out his eyes!

#Monsterdon

Hmmm, Religion and Self Harm....

That was a nice shock ending though

#Monsterdon

and that was... that? move along, nothing to see here #monsterdon

Not my sort of movie, but as usual, watching together with all of you on here made it actually fun! Thanks everyone!

#Monsterdon

wait, so that just ended. whut?

#Monsterdon

Oh, so that was HIS eye at the beginning of the film. Cool! #Monsterdon

Kind of the police to recognize a climactic soliloquoy and let it continue without interruption. #monsterdon

I was expecting to make fun of this movie more, but I rather enjoyed it.

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

#Monsterdon
#XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

They'll be singing halleluja when they come
They'll be singing 'round the mountain when they come...

Yep, I recognize the tune. Riding six white horses...

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #XTheManWithTheXRayEyes , from 1963, was not about someone who bought a pair of X-Ray spectacles from the back page ads of a comic book. Instead we had,

by the way I will spoil something: there's a line cut.

the line is BUT I CAN STILL SEEEEEEEE #Monsterdon ~Chara

damn what a ride

#monsterdon

That was the cleanest offscreen eye-plucking-out I have ever seen.

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

AAAAAHHHHHHH!

#monsterdon

That's quite an interpretation of smeary rainbows. #monsterdon

Wow okay that ended about as abruptly as last week's!

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

that was the worst oedipus special effect i've ever seen

after a really good scene too lmao

#monsterdon

ewwww eyeplugging, nobody warned me! #Monsterdon

Dr. No Eyes is here to tell us what he sees.

#Monsterdon

oh they're definitely gonna think he's the devil. #monsterdon

He’s still wearing a suit. So we know it’s the 60s. #Monsterdon

OMG!

#Monsterdon
