Oh, right. It was the days when supernatural movies had to reinforce the dominant Vague Christian Belief System.

...Do Not™ #Monsterdon

If your church is doing call and response with "who do you HATE?" you are in a bad church, folks.

#Monsterdon

New contacts! The reverend is taking all this stride too, "all-seeing eye" and all.

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

He drove all the way into the movie Elmer Gantry #monsterdon

Oh yeah great place to go on a Lovecraftian rant. #monsterdon

Sauron?
#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

at least, pluck out the contacts, that would solve a lot of his problems.

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

Good ole fashioned revival tent.

No - the center of the universe is on your right

#XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

Now those contacts are WAY more effective. #Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

Helicopter is back like the ghost of x-ray eyes future.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon and #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes
Come forward and thave your thouls!!

Completely ignoring the very obviously hurt and in need of assistance man. Good job Christians. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

The dummy was not good lol. But the scene was.

#Monsterdon

Did not see a tent revival with a charismatic character actor. But X does. #Monsterdon

"in the center of the universe" OMG

#Monsterdon

Oh, look it's the aforementioned gods!

#monsterdon

We are now in the tent revival portion of tonight's film.

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

And who loves YOU?!

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

*Ray Milland enters the revival tent*
<sickos.jpg>

#monsterdon

I'm pretty that long shot in the parking lot was not of Ray Milland, just some guy with his face covered.

#monsterdon

@mariellequinton This is like dropping a lightsaber perfectly vertically

#Monsterdon

So he ditched Dr. Diane in the casino without any cash, not even a suitcase with a change of clothes. I don't really feel sympathetic to him right now #monsterdon

Well Revival Tent in *X: The Man with X-Ray Eyes* #Monsterdon. It's really rather like this. I don't know. I wouldn't recommend. Wow... that's an ending...

This movie is all over the place. Good grief.

#Monsterdon

THE BAND! #Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

Whoops, never mind lol
#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

omg he found his people

#monsterdon

Took the helicopter long enough to find him again

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

Ok, this wandering-through-the-desert scene is making me homesick for the summers I spent in the Mojave as a kid. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon I know it's sped up footage and all but that was a pretty fun chase sequence, followed by the perfect crash, especially the 3-4 frames of "kiki" black and white batman POW they threw in there.

Dr. X oughta be waking up in the back of an elder scrolls haywagon after that one.

The, um, California Highway Patrol may have overestimated their ability to prevent his escape.

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

MASH

"What if we made a movie about the leader of the X-Men, but he's an idiot."

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithXRayEyes

Oh hey the car scene finally gives me bingo! It took a while though

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

I'm guessing these eye drops are what the Empire gives to Stormtroopers to help them shoot so well.

#monsterdon

An oft-repeated Southwest crime: driving while stupid.

Brought to you by Visine. Get's the red out. #Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

@blue that's the circle of life
#monsterdon

The theremin thinks this is a lot spookier than it is. #Monsterdon

he's going to get taken out by a TRAIN?

guess that's as good a place as any to end this

#Monsterdon

@blue "No, I am _not_ a hobo!"

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

I guess they didn't have the budget to actually crash it #monsterdon

@guyjantic I mean he is wanted for murder #monsterdon

...and then the doctor circus man became a hobo...

#monsterdon

@jivens They didn't even use seatbelts back then!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon What was that ACME coyote crash shit????

@Louisa I can't believe he went off the road even though he couldn't see it!

#Monsterdon

The playful jaunty high speed chase music involving a helicopter is nice

#Monsterdon

here comes the gay again
falling on my head like

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

my @96greers co-host Patrick made a commentary track for this movie, if you ever fancy a rewatch to confirm that this movie actually happened: https://www.nowplayingnetwork.net/tracksofthedamned/bonusxray-t89je

#monsterdon

Did that crash knock some sense into him?

We'll soon find out dear viewers.

#monsterdon

Nice contacts!

#Monsterdon

What the hell was that car crash effect? Did the guy who did that effect go on to work on Batman?
#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

It's taking him a long time to realize that this getaway car idea isn't all that great #monsterdon

it's cool the helicopter pilot definitely doesn't know where that tunnel leads #monsterdon

LOL lame crash sequence. I guess they didn't want to wreck the car.
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

He can't drive with the vision he has.
But oh what vision he has--thank you John C. Howard and your Spectarama!

Probably should have figured why the monkey suffered so before, you know, doing it to himself.
#monsterdon

Very normal surgical response to using a scalpel that just touched someone else's blood to cut a person.

That man would be torn to pieces for the physical risk alone, let alone the violence or unprofessionalism.

#Monsterdon

I guess see everything is not the best when you are going as fast as you can on a car
#monsterdon

He's navigating the switchbacks remarkably well for someone whose super eyes have evolved into dramatic contact lenses.

#Monsterdon

He was in Vegas and he made it all the way to California? #monsterdon

maybe the crash knocked his contacts out, that would be nice, at least.

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

He's pretty sure he should keep driving through the desert even though he can't see the road or ground or sky or other cars huh

#Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai #monsterdon

The mob that runs that casino made the chopper happen.

Wait, why is the entire CHP after him? Because he ran out of a casino after winning a bunch of money?

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

"He's gone right through the mountain!"

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

he's going to be punished for his hubris I feel like

#Monsterdon

@msh Eye see what you did there.
#monsterdon

I hope he has X ray laser vision...

#Monsterdon

He got to California really fast. #monsterdon

He can't see the brake pedal!

#monsterdon
#XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

Does Nevada state police even *have* helicopters?

#monsterdon

"X: The Man With Bad Life Decisions" would be more accurate, but probably not sell as many tickets. #Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

They're gonna end this film like Red Zone Cuba. He drove aaaaaall the way to hell. #Monsterdon

*line drawing of a crash*

#Monsterdon

At least they show some naked guys and cut around the changes-your-rating nudity. For the 60s that was downright tasteful.

I don't really care for how quickly Diane gets over James being able to see her naked, though. But, I get it, the story wants to move on and at least took the time to have her express uncertainty.

And now, for scrubbing-in! Gotta have it.

#Monsterdon

Fancy vision tricks don’t make a man who defies the gods invulnerable. He has to die or get blind or something. Not fucking off into the desert unscathed. #Monsterdon

This is turning into a Coleman Francis movie all of a sudden #Monsterdon

Atlantic CIty doesn't get casino gambling for another 2 decades

#monsterdon
#XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

Ok, I'm bummed for this skeleton fx.
#monsterdon

OK BTW WTF was that music / intermission on the way to Vegas? #Monsterdon

candidate for dumbest """car chase""" of all time.

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

"But what if I don't want to 35?" "Then don't slow, doy."

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

#Monsterdon
#XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

Those special effects in all their glory! A chase! Escape!

Those glass contacts had to hurt.

#Monsterdon

He's tying to drive to Atlantic City, isn't he? #Monsterdon

Jim is going to end up seeing Buckaroo Bonsai going through a nearby mountain at this rate.

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

...is there anyone actually chasing him in this chase scene.....?

#monsterdon
