pew pew pew laser eyes would be handy now
@saucerlost IMO it's unclear if any of these things are true
If he goes through the tunnel, he can make it to Toon Town!
Oh, poor chickens #monsterdon
When he said "only one place" I thought Fort Knox. #Monsterdon
Dude. Pull over this isn't gonna end well can't you...er....see that? #Monsterdon
OK, those early-60s bias-belted tires did NOT survive that.

I'm not sure how the frenzied driving addresses his "oh the lights are so bright" issue.
As everyone can see his Sith Lord X-Ray eyes and the cops are here, Doc X throws piles of money at people as a distraction and then gets into a car and drives away. But of course he doesn't have his glasses so he sees through everything while's driving and almost crashes into a farm truck and then decides to break every road law at once.
In the olden days they prolly just punched him in the face repeatedly.
You know how Frogs was really just people slipping on things and dying while frogs looked on?
This movie is "a dude who HAPPENS to have X-ray vision makes a series of bad decisions which he probably would have made anyway, which ruin his life." #Monsterdon
the funniest part is all he has to do is say he's psychic, knows all sees all, and act like he believes it and then he's just a kook who got lucky
Quoth @k8eb: "why are you stealing a car? You can't see! It's daylight, ya got lizard eyes, _you're not looking at the road_..!"
@bunnyhero As he continually remembers to demonstrate
"We should get out of here before the mpb assasinates you." #monsterdon
this movie really is about drugs huh. he's literally a drunk driver right now (but worse)

β X-TRIVIA
Does the location of Ray Milland's driving escape look familiar? It's California's Soledad Canyon Road between the cities of Santa Clarita and Acton in California - where Duel (1971) was filmed.
This is exactly how you get skeletophilia
@yatsu ugh yeah, not like today where they can do it all digitally #monsterdon
Make it rain!
This Riddick prequel is lit
Jim. Aren't you supposed to be on the lamb? Hiding out? Laying low?
Not pissing of everyone in proximity?
Heβs becoming Data.
Cool eyeballs, tho #Monsterdon
oof, those contacts had to be hell to wear.
#Monsterdon
#XtheManWithTheXrayEyes
Uh-oh. Vegas doesn't take kindly to card readers, not even the kind who count cards based on math.
X The Man Who Pissed Off the Mafia Needlessly
they would have broken both his hands long ago. #monsterdon
@Taweret _Intensely_
Lesson 1 of Grift Club
Don't explain the scam to the mark while it is happening
He's gonna get chucked out of this place like the man he threw out the window earlier. #Monsterdon
He doesnβt just see the wires and tubes inside the neon? #Monsterdon
This does feel like an overly padded version of a solid Twilight Zone episode.
Yeah, I don't think slots work that way #monsterdon
I don't think it's possible for anyone to get out of his sight.
this dealer does not give a FUCK
#monsterdon No way. There's no way you could predict the payout of a slot machine.
They don't keep that kind of internal state. That would be both stupid and illegal.
Thinking about how some people wear nappies (diapers) while working those slot machines, rather than get off the chair.
Truly a city of dreams
Previously he said the effects of the X drops were cumulative, now they are "wearing down"?
okay so i guess.... it's cumulative but he can't control it and it goes in and out, so he takes the drops when he needs it to 'turn on' at a specific time
time for another "dose" so i can "see" things!
*pulls out dropper of LSD*
And now the doc is an expert in slot machine design.
Don Corleone would like a word, sir.
#MonsterDon
@diazona Itβs not the number from the sample Social Security cards included in wallets sold at Woolworthβs (which was also a real personβs number)
oh yeah, bingo!
#monsterdon Oh boy, vegas.
In movies, they never do this well. They just use their super-power to win constantly. Which is suspicious as heck.
Let's see if this guy is smart enough to just win one or two long-shots.
@moira I was just thinking that... #Monsterdon #LasVegas
This movie needed some jazz flute!
You're listening to the smooth jazz sound of The Man with X-ray eyes radio #monsterdon
He went to Vegas, not SLC? He could have given the next White Horse Prophecy! He's got the Urim & Thummim!
#Monsterdon #TheManWithTheXRayEyes #mormon #deepcutreference
Does he have fine control over the visions or doesnβt he? Only our screenwriter knows for sure. And the glasses should mark him as a shyster. #Monsterdon
Some of the best casinos are actually VFWs
In the getaway car, Doc X and the Lovely Assistant decide to elope and/or do crimes. Doc X realizes that there's a place in the desert with lots of money that he could get, and then we get blurry pictures of Las Vegas, so this is now a heist movie.
BINGO!
Music by Roger Gormans cat walking on a pipe organ.
Jazzy optical effects montage!
and then he goes into the casino from Casino and Don Rickles is the pit boss AAAHHHHHH
how much of this vegas still exists? any of it?
Vegas signs just get more colourful
#monsterdon
This guy's what we have instead of a National Health, or guarantied health-insurance.
Being able to see the dealer's hole card might give you an advantage
not a bad idea except for the part where if you actual win in a casino they throw you out
They got to Vegas in time for Pride. #Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes
If this movie was stupider, the guy with the X-Ray vision would be driving the getaway car instead of the Lovely Assistant.
Next up: Ocean's X
The whole film is riding on Milland's ability to over-act. #monsterdon
Canada!
#monsterdon
"Flesh dissolved in acids of light" Yeah, losing it there Doc X.
er... it didn't take THAT much money to cross the border, pal. #monsterdon
Escaping from Don Rickles seems oddly legit
@hollie Somehow I doubt that would stop the cats
#monsterdon He could have easily serviced today's customers and slipped out at night.
Don Rickles is bringing the correct amount of extortionate pimp energy to this role.
Lovely Assistant has found out about Doc X and came to the secret hideout to see him, posing as a patient. He doesn't recognize her at first because his X-Ray vision is on all the time.
She wants to lovingly remove his glasses, but he explains that things are worse with the glasses off because he sees all the people everywhere and he wants to see darkness. She has some kind of plan to get him treatment.
"Sbrake ervice"?
Who knew that the underlying health problem for so many people was being full of medical illustrations?
Glad he's not driving
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.
"I'd give anything to have dark"
That would be a nightmare though, sounds like the Russian Sleep Experiment
Okay honestly? Being able to see through my own eyelids would be the No. 1 reason I wouldn't do this if it were offered.
Also because I'd just end up using it for silly reasons, like explaining to the cats why they can't be hungry because I can see their stomachs are FULL
Poor Eliza Doolittle!
Iβd give anything to stop doing these experiments on myself. #Monsterdon
This premise does seem better suited for a teen sex comdey. Something like Zapped. This is getting a bit heavy. #monsterdon
he should dabble in geology #Monsterdon
look i know he's gonna oedipus this shit. he should just do it already
Eventually he's going to see a lady who looks like her head fell in the cheese dip back in 1957
i knew who i was looking _five_, take _that_, digits!
Is a shimmering rainbow that screams the secret of the universe? #Monsterdon
Not buying it. Not every medical condition leaves visible lesions #monsterdon
Healer, can you see what's wrong with my child? A doctor went rogue during her heart surgery
