I was going to skip tonight because I’ve been having a terrible few days mentally, on top of a terrible 2026 mentally, on top of a terrible…

At any rate, I’ve changed my mind and decided I probably need this. Don’t disappoint, 4D Man!

My card has “Cone Bra” as one of the squares, and I really hope I get to mark that one in 4D Man.

Patty Duke is in this movie! Will she have an identical cousin?!

So, the scientific way you pass one thing through another is simply by knowing it can be so?

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

Attempting to pass one thing through another thing apparently starts fires.

No request to see ID. Just the word of a white man who says he’s Dr. Nelson’s brother is good enough for the security guard.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

I have the square “The Hero is an Ass” on my card, and we're only 8 minutes into the film, but I’m going to mark it off. I’ve seen all I need to see; he’s an ass.

Someone needs to do some tending to that garden.

I don’t understand what happened during the kiss, but suddenly, dude wanted to go back.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

He sounds like he’s pitching a magic show.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

I think that stair fall counts as physical comedy, so I can mark that square off on , but it wasn't funny.

Tony has no idea about the science behind what he witnessed, so he’s defaulted to “I willed it to happen, and it happened.”

Dude, you aren’t "taking" a girl from him. It's her decision. She’s her own person, with her own ability to choose.

“You are so healthy," the doctor says, as the patient lights up a cigarette in the doctor’s office.

When do we get to see any actual dimensional science?

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

“Maybe I just wanted to look at you?”

“You could have stood outside my bedroom window, like you normally do.”

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

OMG! It’s a little Patty Duke! Her face looks like Sean Astin’s!

“It’s not me, Scott. It’s you.”

The jazz band is the main character.

Ah, the good ol’ days, when you could slide across the seat in the car.

The first thing everyone does when they find out their mutant power is to rob a bank.

Dude, you jumbled around his internal organs when you stuck your hands right through him.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

“He came in really late last night. I didn’t want to wake him, so I haven’t seen him in almost two days.”

Tony can’t do date math very well.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

Scott, you could have just come in through her window. She left it open.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

Scott was a closet incel all this time.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

“Gimme a beer.”

“Which one?”

“Whatdya mean, which one?”

"Well, we've got lager, IPA, pilsner, brown ale, red ale, pale ale, ESB…”

“Yes, yes. Gimme a whiskey, then.”

“Which one?”

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

Scott will be 32 on his next birthday, and he looks like he’s 55.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

Those cops are just willy-nilly opening fire in to the night, and now, they have machine guns!

Majorie, when a stranger is telling you to get lost and not have anything to do with them, let them be a stranger and get lost.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

Some of the acting in this is actually pretty good.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

“It didn’t even tickle him!”

‘Cause that's exactly what we were all worried about.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

If they remade this today, Nicholas Cage would play Scott, and he would be amazing.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

I got two BINGOs! Sadly, no Cone Bra.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

4D Man was a little cheesy at points, but in all, the story and acting weren’t terrible. I’d call it one of the better films we’ve seen so far in 2026.

As always, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for , @JoeWynne for , @ryan for , and all of you for making it awesome!

In 1 ¼ hour it’s ! This week, we’re watching Devil Doll (1964). Scary ventriloquist dummies—what more could you ask for?

You know what, I think Magda actually just manipulated Fake Abe. That’s exactly what it was.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

Vorelli stops at Hugo’s cage just to tell him Magda said he was ugly? OMG! Hugo, take the knife and kill Vorelli already!

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

At this point, I just want Hugo to go on a killing spree and kill everyone.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

Ah, yes. One half see-see of the good ol’ Surgical Spirit.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

“Poor Magda. I shall miss her in many ways, but not in any of the ways that matter.”

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

Okay. So, this flashback is probably the most interesting part of the film, so far.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

I think this doctor is on Vorelli’s payroll.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

Is it almost over? Hugo, let’s get this over with. Kill Vorelli, already.

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

Fuck yeah! Hugo switched places with Vorelli and freed Marianne!

ramsey OP ,
@ramsey@don.monster avatar

Whew! That’s over and Hugo came out on top, which makes me happy.
