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

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

"Flesh dissolved in an acid of light"

His flirting is getting better

#Monsterdon
#TheManWithTheXRayEyes

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

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

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

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

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

Don't look at my Special Eyes! #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

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

No wonder he's in such pain, his increased vision comes with a shitload of chromatic aberration #Monsterdon

“I never think. I eat.”
BEST CHARACTER
#Monsterdon

what are they giving him money for? #Monsterdon

This is rough to riff, because it's a solid movie if you can set aside the oh dear God bad science.

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

you've got a bad case of dryer ducts, sir. i'm afraid you're a goner.

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

I feel as if the cops should have been able to find Dr. X by now #monsterdon

Is this movie making a commentary on the failure of the USA medical establishment, the inability for the common people to receive care...
#monsterdon

Two bucks? Lol

#Monsterdon

"i diagnose you with skeleton"

#monsterdon

"J" the man with the Jerk Butt.

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

Looks like everyone has $2 to donate

#monsterdon
#XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

Eye am not enjoying this, maybe we could put a lid on it

#Monsterdon
#TheManWithTheXRayEyes

They missed a huge opportunity for Brylcreem sales. #monsterdon

"...the name's Orbison, Dr. Roy Orbison."

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

"If this is so terrible, why does he keep doing it?"

Look, it took me a while to get off Twitter too.

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

Thanks, @Cherizilla
#monsterdon

That wasn't a great example of SFX #monsterdon

@LingLass sunk cost fallacy? #monsterdon

It is true, sometimes actually looking, and seeing, is enough. Also, actively listening.

#Monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

"The effects of the compound are still unpredictable."

So I'm chugging it down like a water wheel! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon "I'm sorry, ma'am. You have an acute, incurable case of Colored Pencil Organs."

This movie is not going the way I thought it would TBH
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon and #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes
I love how seedy Don Rickles' clothes are..

Did he cut up his Hawaiian shirt to make his bowtie?
#Monsterdon

"A million dollars before breakfast, every day."

#Monsterdon

Or bad illustrations like from a medical textbook. #Monsterdon

I'm assuming the pencil drawings of internal organs are this movie's version of matte painting backgrounds

#Monsterdon

This man's eyewear is progressing nicely towards Otto Octavius territory.

#Monsterdon

oh no, the old woman's been replaced with an anatomy textbook illustration!

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

See child nudity is ok, but an old lady's organs are replaced with an anatomical drawing.

#monsterdon #XTheManWithXrayEyes

My....GOD.....she's made of DOILIES!

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

Oh, and now we've slipped into them just showing drawings instead.

#Monsterdon

Kind of wondering if this movie influenced Nick Roeg for The Man Who Fell To Earth.

#Monsterdon

Since he sees through stuff like it's not even there, why is he wearing the dark glasses? They would essentially just not be there for him...

#Monsterdon

@trixter it's more Don Rickles than I expected, but also less Don Rickles-y than I expected.

#Monsterdon

I wish I had x-ray eyes instead of bugs in my eyes.

#Monsterdon #BikingAtNightByTheLake #SoManyBugs #TheresDefinitelyOneInMyEye

@70sgayspaceangel Learn? Never!

#Monsterdon

she looks like she sells flowers by the cathedral.

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

#monsterdon Don Rickles is a perv in this, too.

So close to my typical grant proposal: First money, and then science.

#Monsterdon

Is he Fremen?

#Monsterdon

OH GOD THE RAINBOW, IT'S TOO MUCH GAY

#NeverTooMuchGay #monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

Exterminate!

#Monsterdon

It's a pretty standard rental: storefront, bedroom, storage room

#Monsterdon

shoulda slept on your stomach

#monsterdon

let's be honest, i'd rather see the bare walls than that crazy wallpaper.

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

@WhiteCatTamer And over the top of the stage it says STRANGE GIRLS #monsterdon

you know you're fucked when the score of the scene you're in features a theramin

#monsterdon

Remarkable how Don Rickles can make "let's heal the sick for whatever they feel like donating" sound like an *evil* plan like...what is going on here #Monsterdon

Tune in for the exciting sequel, when Dr Xavier uses the eyedrops in his nose and can smell what no one else can smell.
#monsterdon

Oof, how do I unsee that wallpaper?

#Monsterdon

weird: Don Rickles playing an actually-somewhat *major* part

#Monsterdon

what does he do when the X runs out?

#Monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

"Let's see them!"

"Wait, never mind, already did."

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

@trixter A lot more Don Rickles than I really wanted, too >_> #Monsterdon
