@hollie Eh I'd say selective transparency still beats it by a pretty wide margin

#Monsterdon

Stuntman really punishing that car there...

#Monsterdon

What a cad, ditching your partner like that. Dirtbag.
#monsterdon

lol, love it when they throw money as a distraction, people are so feral!

#Monsterdon

sees everything, understands nothing? is that the moral of this movie?

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

ooo, he's got freaky eyes!

#Monsterdon

He's about to find out whether he can see through the bag they put over his head

#Monsterdon

@nazokiyoubinbou @bstacey
Well you see it's... oh hell I don't understand this movie.

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithXRayEyes

Give your hustle away why don't you, idiot.
#monsterdon

"THIS TABLE IS CLOSED"

That's the Vegas we know, the Doctor's hubris is going to meet reality soon I think...

#Monsterdon

"They can't stop me from winning!" Doc, you're in for a very rude awakening.

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

Dealer always stands on 17 unless your goggles are suspicious

#Monsterdon

Slot coins and poker chips are the same?
#monsterdon

@thatdawnperson The best I can figure out is that Doc X has control over how deep his vision goes when he concentrates but otherwise the level of X-ray vision he has is variable? And he can't keep concentrating all the time.

#monsterdon

The Mob are going to love his X Ray eyes hustle.....

#Monsterdon

"I'd give anything to have dark."

Well, you could just stop taking those magic drops.

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithXRayEyes

Pretty sure that high on the list of traits needed to pull off a casino heist is being unobtrusive

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou "The Man with the X-Ray Eyes won the Astronave D'argento ("Silver Spaceship") award in 1963 at the first International Festival of Science Fiction Film (Festival internazionale del film di fantascienza) in Trieste, Italy. The film contains a very salutary lesson concerning human hubris and the catastrophic consequences of the quest for knowledge which rises to level of attempting to see through the eyes of God." -- https://scififilmfiesta.blogspot.com/2020/12/x-man-with-x-ray-eyes-1963.html #Monsterdon #TheManWithTheXRayEyes

Is this a heist movie yet? I want to watch a good heist movie where Brad Pitt isn't eating an apple the entire time

#Monsterdon

ffs dude. 1) go to mountain. 2) look for gold. 3) profit. #monsterdon

He wants to go to CANADA? He truly is insane.

#Monsterdon #TheManWithTheXRayEyes

She tries to get Doc X to leave, but Hawaiian Shirt Man materializes and says "no you can't leave, you're my meal ticket and I can blackmail you because I know who you are and you defenestrated a guy."

He leaves anyway and Hawaiian Shirt Man tells all the people there that he's not a healer and he gives them sickness and also he's a murderer.

#monsterdon

Come on, doc, you can still rob a bank. #Monsterdon

Go Don Rickles! I support your hustle.
#monsterdon

"I'd give anything! Anything to have dark!"

JUST STOP TAKING THE DROPS!!! YOU CAN DO IT AT ANY TIME!!! YOU CAN DO IT RIGHT NOW JUST DON'T!!!

#Monsterdon

@moira It means his eyes are comically crossed

#monsterdon

man needs some lead shades.

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

it's the X-effect

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

You have a big sign outside that says "x-ray vision healer"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I wonder how many maladies you could diagnose with x-ray eyes have easy cures.

Or is he just telling people they're doomed?

Somebody should buy this guy a Visible Man toy. I'm sure he'd see the humor in that

#Monsterdon

He's got the worst bedside manners.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Dr. Dahmer to the observation lounge...

"I don't want power... or fame.... really, I'm just.... bored. I hope someone invents video games soon."

#Monsterdon

@Taweret Me either. It’s a good story with good acting.

#Monsterdon

Who is the tape recording for?
He entered the room, just as I predicted.

#monsterdon

Hawaiian Shirt Man brings an Old Lady to him to get healed of her back pain which she thinks is cancer because WebMD. Doc X doesn't recognize the Hawaiian Shirt Guy at first but agrees to X-Ray the old lady.

He reveals some anatomy paintings inside her, but concludes that its just old age and tiredness, and the pain will be gone soon. Doc X explains that she is beyond his help, but the Old Lady says that Doc X is a good man, because she can cast "Know Alignment" at will.

#monsterdon

lmao this asshole aggressively taking advantage of this guy who is falling apart due to magic vision and wishing he would just go away

#monsterdon

Your problem is you've got an anatomical drawing inside of you.

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

Are his sunglasses lead?
#monsterdon

Gradual enshitification of his power

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

This is like some scheme Kramer would set up. "You know my friend Bob Sackamano..." #monsterdon

He's ridin' the cursed visine horse

#monsterdon
#XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

He's going to enter those rooms.
#monsterdon

I’d say that’s a scam, but unlike normal tithing, X CAN actually see the person’s health condition.

"everybody gives what he can" oh my god it is about communism

#monsterdon

We could make money!
#monsterdon

sex pests were really obsessed with x-ray vision before the internet huh

#monsterdon

i don't xray vision to see what's wrong with this chap.

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

"What about you, Mr. Mentalo? What do you want to see?"

"First, money."

(Audience, I for sure thought he was going to follow that up with "...power, then respect".

#monsterdon

@JoeWynne I voted for Tarantino because I'm pretty sure he'd want to remake it if he saw that shot of nekkid feet at the dance party. #Monsterdon

In the next scene, Hawaiian Shirt Man is in the dressing room with Doc X and trying to figure out what his trick is, but Doc X won't tell him. However, he does confess to his tape recorder while Hawaiian Shirt Man spies on him, saying he's almost out of magic eyedrops but the effects are cumulative.

#monsterdon

"If I had power I'd hurt them all"

Think I know which way you'd vote mate....

#Monsterdon

Stupid philosophizing time
#monsterdon

Rickles had his own schtick that he always did but he wasn't a bad actor. A step up from the Charles Nelson Riley's of the world making a living doing it for Match Game and guest stints on Love Boat or Fantasy Island. #monsterdon

Now I want to eat lunch with Continuous Girls
#monsterdon

He can see through everything except Ray-bans?

#Monsterdon

Okay, I am home, I have pizza, I am watching.

#Monsterdon

Is this bit what that old Tonight Show host did?

Johnny something?

#Monsterdon

And now our next act, Mr. Seymour Klopse!

#Monsterdon

lol, turns out the Doc's safe house was Don Rickle's carnival....

That's that guy who was in every film in the 1980s, from the Terminator to Gremlins, what's his name?

#Monsterdon

"Continuous Girls Show" implies that they are not discrete #monsterdon

Don Rickles appears!
#monsterdon

I want to be able to see the mysteries of creation, but not if it involves freaky eye drops...

did he just defenestrate his friend?

That was unexpected

#Monsterdon

"I also had a half ounce of liquid acid in my coffee for lunch, so give me some room here." #monsterdon

they'll blame you just because it was entirely your fault

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon and #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes
You've committed murder.. so at least you won't have to worry about malpractice..

Hmm, the windows in that building seem like a bit of a safety risk.

#monsterdon

@ramsey snitches everywhere.... #Monsterdon

Give him a sedagive

#Monsterdon

"I look at Diane, and she appears a perfect, breathing dissection!"

He's really learned how to talk to women

#Monsterdon
#TheManWithTheXRayEyes

Wait a minute, the optometrist was in on the kids heart surgery as well?

#monsterdon

At the next day we're doing an operation on a girl, and Doc X sees both through a nurse's clothes and through the other doctor's clothes, which the film producer decided is awkward but might indicate something.

Then he goes to do the operation on the girl and is like "I want this girl to live." so he cuts the doctor he saw naked on the hand and does the operation his way to remove the tumor instead of the wrong thing the other doctor was going to try to do.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon And just a few short years later the technology was perfected, and available for just $1.

Nurse: Doctor, we could stop him.

Doctor: Nah, he just attacked me so he could cut open a little girl. Let's see how this plays out.

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

@diazona @Newpa_Hasai a bit hyppocratical of him #monsterdon

Doctor's been really hitting that tincture. Last night he made me listen to Round Room. I'm running out of patience, Sam.

#Monsterdon

So it's implied that he's having to re-dose?

#Monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

X-rays don't work on pearl necklaces...
#monsterdon

Just stare at their dicks Dr X, give into temptation

#Monsterdon

*Dr X stands with his head in his hands in despair

Oh, he can see into the Future as well then, lol...

#Monsterdon

Naturally the Doc X's X-ray vision triggers and he sees everyone dancing at the party naked. We don't actually see anything in the version I am watching, other than lots of dancing legs and jiggling nude shoulders.

I thought I would need a Floatybirb Nipple Counter (TM) for this movie, but I was wrong. Such is life.

Anyway, the Lovely Assistant appears and Doc X tells her about her birthmarks to make her feel awkward.

#monsterdon

Hey it's a Bulova no so Accutron
#monsterdon

Okay, they got the everyone-is-naked scene out of the way.

#monsterdon

It had to happen. Sexytime xray vision.
#monsterdon

Is... is this... flirting?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh god, not... jazz dancing… oh...oh god, oh the humanity!!! LOL!

In the next scene the Lovely Assistant meets Doc X to invite him to a Hip 1960s Doctor Party, and he admits that he's still using the eye drops and his super vision comes and goes.

At the hip doctor party, a former student dances with the Lovely Assistant and then a succession of Younger Lovely Ladies appear to flirt with the doctor, a brunette who wanders off to wobble with other people, and a blonde who stays because Doc X looks "urgent" and that's hot I guess.

#monsterdon

"I like men who look urgent"

You're in for some trouble lady, maybe go for men who look like people aren't after them for stuff...

#Monsterdon

They don't dance too bad for white people.
#monsterdon

Cocktail party scene!

#Monsterdon

“Sam your lab coat, there’s a pen in your shirt pocket! There’s a button missing on your shirt! And both of your-“
“I GET THE IDEA”
#Monsterdon

@Crazypedia #monsterdon

The horror is: unethically conducted science.

#monsterdon Comic fans, was the Green Goblin already operating on early 60's? This guy is making an Osbourne

I'd like you to meet a Doctor Leary, ok?
#monsterdon

Oh look, America cutting back on Science.....

#Monsterdon

he's got dalekvision

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

MORE EYEDROPS

Don't double drop Dr X!

Oh bollocks he did...they'll be peeling him off the walls in 12 hours...

#Monsterdon

“Sam! I can see your thingy!” #monsterdon
