...Yeah, okay, so you're gonna try to play the tables at a FIXED CASINO

Bad Decisions CUBED #Monsterdon

@lysdexic You forgot to capitalize the D

Vegas blinky lights! Check!

Oh c'mon, when will we see walking skeletons?
#monsterdon

If the effect wears down, can't he just ... wait for it to be gone?

#Monsterdon

so now he knows how slot machines work, and more importantly, how _fixed_ slot machines work

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

Wait, so if he doesn't take the drug the effects wear off... has he tried just stopping‽
#monsterdon

And he's putting more in his eyes!? #monsterdon

#monsterdon is this the first time they let Corman have color filmstock or something?

@moira The Golden Nugget is still around. It's one of my favourites! If you ever get a chance to go to Vegas, go down to old Fremont Street, where the Golden Nugget, the Four Queens, and the really old ones are. It's a really neat and different experience.

#monsterdon

You know, the being able to see a huge spectrum of light and through stuff is just a side effect.

The actual effect of the drops is to make him more pretentious.

#XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

This sequence of dramatic neon casino lighting in Vegas is, uh, going on for a little while there, eh?

#monsterdon

What's he need all that money for? He could go up to Wisconsin and live with the frogs for dead cheap #monsterdon

you don't squeeze your eyes shut when you put in eye drops

#Monsterdon

another snort #Monsterdon

lmao why is he TAKING MORE

#monsterdon

Whaaat??? That’s not a casino, it’s waaaayyyy too brightly lit.
#Monsterdon

@WhiteCatTamer Sounds better, honestly

#Monsterdon

#XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

He lost his ability to drive a car--vision difficulty.

Foxy cigarette sales bunnies
#monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf I would like some acid that makes everything look extra gay. #Monsterdon

If he wins too much and gets his bones broken by goons, he can tell the doctor exactly which ones 👍 #monsterdon

Compounding bad decisions, that's the doctor's super power, not the eye thing. Bad Decisions²

#Monsterdon

And we're going to the world's smallest Las Vegas casino!

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

Very inconspicuous.

#Monsterdon

@moira

I'm guessing the casinos are still there

#Monsterdon

vegas was different in the 60s

#monsterdon

Get to the card hustle already!
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon and #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes
Rain Man vs. Dr. X.. with Jazz!!

oh but i bet we'll get to see people being naked in vegas

#monsterdon

Eyes of the Gods, meet the money of the Pharoes

#Monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

Vegas baby!!
#monsterdon

And now ... driving the Las Vegas strip on acid!

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

"Bras without underwires..." #monsterdon

dude, ifyou start winning too much at a casino, you're gonna be in Actual Trouble. murder ain't got nothing on the Vegas Casino Mafia.

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

oh no he's just going to cheat at gambling. booooring

#monsterdon

can't believe it took him this long to think of robbing banks #monsterdon

Imaginging an Abbott and Costello parody of this where Costello plays the carnival barker and Abbott is Dr. X.
#Monsterdon

Welp, he's talking about Vegas.
#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

Pacing is tight. We're already past "oh yea, the bandages".

I wonder if we'll get any insomnia in this. I don't think the comic touched on that, but that's one of the things that really stuck out to me about the implications of the premise.

#Monsterdon

oh christ it's vegas

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

did this just turn into a heist movie

#monsterdon

Dr. Diane gets to drive - I approve #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

Aha--Rickles the protection racket boss.

This is like a bad TV pilot, but good grief it's boring! Can we please go back to the naked actors?

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithXRayEyes

We're going to Vegas baby!

#Monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

#Monsterdon We' re going to Vegas, baby!

VE-GAS HEIST! VE-GAS HEIST! VE-GAS HEIST! VE-GAS HEIST!

#monsterdon

"It'll take money" A whole lotta spending money. #Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

"California?"

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

"This city, as if it were unborn, rising into the sky...."

"...ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion..."

#Monsterdon

It keeps getting to me how everyone here is using their Dramatic Film Voices all the time

#Monsterdon

Bad poetry alert!
#monsterdon

Ah, back in the days before traffic in SoCal.

#Monsterdon #TheManWithTheXRayEyes

"This is not my beautiful house. This is not my beautiful wife" #Monsterdon

You know, he could have changed careers and became a mechanic, or a civil engineer instead.

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

"Flesh dissolved in an acid of light"

His flirting is getting better

#Monsterdon
#TheManWithTheXRayEyes

Make sure you get arrested for fraud yourself, you eh-hole! #monsterdon

He can no longer see people’s faces. #Monsterdon

i do love some poetic prose

#monsterdon

"Flesh dissolved in a fountain of light"

Awesome!

#monsterdon
#XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

"It will take money."
"I know. Will you come with me?"

#monsterdon

"THAT MAN'S PLANTING A BOMB!"

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

"I don't care, as long as I get my share..."

Truly the American Dream.

(I think Rickles is next)

#Monsterdon

What will he see once he can look through everything? #monsterdon

60's police were like Beetlejuice, if you call them three times they materialize on the spot

He was so close

#Monsterdon

How much are the glasses that let you look at X without pain? Asking for a friend #monsterdon

Don Rickles plays a very believable scumbag. #Monsterdon

No convenient window to knock him out of #Monsterdon

I bet this dude would be really good at guessing how many jelly beans are in a jar.

#Monsterdon

You're gonna call the police? I'm going to call the fashion police!
#monsterdon

"I don't care!"

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

We need a montage with this song

#Monsterdon #TheManWithTheXRayEyes

Can't throw him out a window on the ground floor. #Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

There's a version of this movie where the doctor performs a kidney transplant and saves a life, from an anonymous donor. He then searches the city looking at kidneys like Prince Cinderella looking at feet.

Still a creep, but a fairytale creep.

#Monsterdon

I’d give anything to see dark….so, maybe no more eye drops!
#Monsterdon

Two dollars, sir. #Monsterdon

The X effect makes everything worse
#Monsterdon

@apLundell Imagine if you went in to a doctor and said "some dude in a seedy old hotel told me that he saw a... uh, what was that doctory term he used... Uhm, anyway, can you cure me?"

#Monsterdon

That's one month as a carnie and one month as a faith healer.

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

He didn't want to see through her again.
#monsterdon

Don't look at my Special Eyes! #Monsterdon

Is a shimmering rainbow that screams the secret of the universe? #Monsterdon

"The X Effect" deserves a cooler movie than this

#Monsterdon

I was checking in on the movie and it just looked like it's Mr Mobile MRI before portable x-rays...
#monsterdon

"Alright, open your eyes"

There's so much foreshadowing in this story. Chekhov's normal biology. Things that you wouldn't think about as foreshadowing at first.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon and #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes
My eyes can see in every wavelength.. too bad my brain hasn't evolved to process them... I am not a mantis shrimp..

What a great tie on Rickles

#monsterdon

wat if someone holds up a mirror to him? #monsterdon

Ah, the days when you could get a checkup for $3

#Monsterdon

give what you can for a guy with shades starring at you? #Monsterdon

Now it skips ahead to where he’s joined a completely different circus.

#monsterdon

@whiskeysailor I really wouldn't have expected the circus thing until it happened.

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

Think of what he could do if he also had a little, black, bag from the Future.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Honest opinion: the main character isn't nearly as interesting as the emcee/Barker. I want to see this whole movie from his point of view.

Heal that lady so she can go back to feed the birds, tuppence a bag.

#Monsterdon

More drawings, auras, skeletons ... and what a cheap price for diagnosis!

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

oh they shot mayberry and i love lucky and star trek here! and this film!

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

Was that supposed to be a uterus? #Monsterdon
