I sure wish the main character's motives were more compelling than wanting credit on a white paper or whatever his deal is

@Taweret If it'd shown him being slighted time and again by everyone around, for instance, instead of being mostly respected.

Yes, a real scientist sticks his hand in twice.

@socketwench It's not science if you don't replicate the experiment!

@hollie Also so you can try out interesting tie knots! It's such a shame everyone does either a half windsor or full windsor when there are so many alternatives.

@neia@zoner.work avatar

@hollie But how would he get back up to ground level?

Actually, why doesn't he phase through the ground normally?

I'm glad he had a fire extinguisher on hand, at least.

Sexual harassment being de rigeur, something I wish we'd fully left in the 50s.

No, not the suggestive music! All the dudes are so slimy!

It's like he's having a constant seizure, but with no visible effects? Very science!

What an expression of distaste! Proposal accepted, right?

I'm hoping we get a double 4D man. The only thing that can beat a bad guy with four D's is a good guy with 4 D's!

Oh no! The fourth dimension is full of ash powder!

"Couldn't have been any more than sixty years old." People are aging a lot slower these days, apparently!

A thousand dollar bill? Those are only for transferring money between financial institutions, IIRC. Gonna be hard to spend that!

The sensible version of Scott goes after cattle instead. Alas.

Folks it is now ONE HOUR until the weekly monster movie watch party. If you want to avoid it I'd recommend setting up a hashtag filter.

If you'd like to join in, this week's movie is THE 4 D MAN (1959) in which a scientist figures out how to walk through walls. I'm sure it'll come back to bite him somehow. Maybe he'll develop black mold, I don't know.

The flick's available on Tubi free with ads over here: https://tubitv.com/movies/100007584/4-d-man

Or you can download from Archive.org over here: https://archive.org/details/4-d-man-1959

Just hit play at the top of the hour and toot along. See you there!

I've seen about three frames of this and I'm wondering just how much this wishes it were Star Trek.

neia OP ,

A simple iron grate door will surely keep the surface worlders out!

neia OP ,
@neia@zoner.work avatar

Maybe this is more Phoenix Five than Star Trek? Hard to say.

Dylan would have better luck if he didn't contort his face like he wanted to tear out Baylok's throat.

This is reminding me of that worldbuilding post about matriarchal societies. Instead of reversing gender roles, you can have the society devalue things that are traditionally considered men's work, and value things that are traditionally considered women's work.

"You remember that Rule of Silence? It's still in effect!" That's actually a decent line.

"Typical male vanity." It's more of a bureau, isn't it? Barely more than a chest of drawers.

neia OP ,
@neia@zoner.work avatar

Considering how randy this man is, he's not a regular dink, he's more of a, well, humper-dink.

neia OP ,
@neia@zoner.work avatar

"There are only six of them! Look how many there are of us."

I count about six. Gene, you've got to hire a few more extras for this scene.

neia OP ,
@neia@zoner.work avatar

Oh, there they are! Just a framing issue.

@neia@zoner.work avatar neia , to random

This is completely unrealistic!

The two primary witnesses sitting just across the fence from 20 of their neighbors, and they're not gossiping?

"Anything unusual" is so broad, the police would be fielding questions about deflated footballs and people in drunken stupors all day.

Quick, cover it in glue!

I was so certain Quatermass was going to be infected! Alas.
