So how painful was this week's #Monsterdon?
I was far away in Canananada talking about Transformers non-stop for days on end.

@strangefour I don't think there was a consensus on the overall quality of #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes as a movie. I personally thought it was shockingly good sci-fi and the story of a man driven to ruin by his own hubris and obsession.

Also, there's a comic of it that aside maybe from the very end is extremely close to the movie (though with somewhat less body horror): https://archive.org/details/x-the-man-with-x-ray-eyes-63/mode/2up

@Newpa_Hasai @strangefour Ooh that's interesting. I can definitely see how people would have a variety of opinions on its quality - like, there's clearly some level of story progression that is lacking from many of the movies we watch - but I personally can't wrap my head around "shockingly good sci-fi" for that one.
