Welp, there goes Wanda. Should be less screaming now. #monsterdon
What the... Is it talking in morse code?
Sure, NOW they try communication.
"...it's morse code for ..... no way .... drink more ovaltine!"
We've gone from bad to morse
Okay apparently it's not. For some reason? #Monsterdon
Yes lady. Insulting the vehicles is definitely a way to stop their murderous rampage.
Pwned
Donβt tell me that machine gun growled #monsterdon
I've been asking the whole movie why the big rigs haven't just been ramming the building. I never had an answer besides it was too early in the movie for the film's main set-piece to be wrecked. And here we are. #monsterdon
#monsterdon Is it true?! It is true! Prune Juice is a WARRIORS DRINK!!!
Did that rifle just...growl? #Monsterdon
@Louisa i couldn't stop thinking about the smell #monsterdon
#Monsterdon So purely mechanical things like guns and taps can be taken over, but not bicycles?
@nyquildotorg And Joe Hill also does the evil car thing too, with The Wraith in NOS4A2.
Oh wow. Ok, so we definitely can confirm that cars are not part of the rebellion. Poor car. It never did anything to deserve that. *Sniffs*
Everyone remember that bulldozer's name.
Is this a standard military vehicle or did it self-assemble? #monsterdon
Chekov's rocket launcher makes its reappearance #monsterdon
I donβt know why so many of them remained standing after hearing and seeing the gunfire.
Funny story: this is the fifth time I've watched this movie. It's hilariously bad, and I kinda love it.
But the remake, which has better acting, direction, and everything else, I can't even finish.
Once you take out all the terrible stuff, it's actually a pretty dull movie π
uh oh..... it's not a truck, it doesn't have to stop
CURIOSITY, NO!!!
This sewer scene is quality #monsterdon
Thou shalt not threaten the kid #monsterdon
lol, we live in world where that thing with the machine gun is real....
The real drama tonight is will #Monsterdon survive the Great ACDC Debate of 2025???
See, if you don't step up and deal with something then a shithead goes and tells a kid their dad is dead very poorly....
Oh, now the construction equipment is going to show up and tear down the building.
Emilio Estevez brings the exact same energy to coaching a ragtag bunch of hockey players
I just asked "why are they safe inside?" and @steggy pointed out that she had already explained: One of the rules is that they obey signs. It says "truck stop" so they do.
The small cars have rejected the comet's overtures and sided with humanity. They hear the waitress's clarion call of "we made you" and they know it as Gospel. #monsterdon
I'da let Bible guy die, but that's just me
@aintnorulesays old white guys can't enjoy their old white guy rock #monsterdon
I know it doesn't make sense but I think the trucks are mimicking the bible salesman's voice to trick the survivors into coming out of the truck stop
@Cherizilla MotΓΆrhead would also be acceptable in this circumstance #monsterdon
so... do the trucks have ears?
BUBBAS PRIVATE SHOWER
Massive Ms. Piggy energy on the newlywed wife. Can't wait for her to karate-chop a flaming 18 wheeler in half to go berate her husband.
#Monsterdon
#Monsterdon so was he.... a zombie? did he have a pacemaker or sth?
"You sir, are without a doubt, one of the biggest fuck heads I've ever met-
There ya' go, folks. The true wit that only cocaine can provide.
Why are the evil Trucks just circling the Truck Stop? Should they not be on the ....
Why is that kid in this movie?
'By Jesus I'll kill you'
spoken like a true etc etc.
This is the most Stephen King-esque thing so far. A child being threatened with death by a half-dead man in a ditch. #monsterdon
Of course the bible salesman would grab a boy's leg #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon
Do kids not know about pulses?
So many movies would have the people turning on each other because Man is the real monster but this movie is like, no, pretty sure it's the evil murder trucks.
πΌπΆFoley working o-o-overtimeπ΅ #Monsterdon
"...pull my finger!"
This kid's gonna need all the therapy. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive
I lost the plot and had to have @steggy explain that they're trying to go rescue bible dude. Are you seriously suggesting no one can cross the parking lot? These trucks are that kind of nimble and fast?
#monsterdon
I just realized I'm not dreaming all of this and I'm a little upset
...the whole world has gone tits-up
AC/DC is the perfect pick for ANY soundtrack. "2001: A Space Odyssey" with a soundtrack by AC/DC. Perfect pick.
There's a cat on me
I like that Hero and Milhouse are bonding while on adventure, suck on that Jordan!
nope nope nope nope nope
The pacing is a total mess. Just like most everything else. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive
I am certain "back of a jukebox" is what Leonardo da Vinci had in mind.
Don't go down there! It's filled with dozens of EPA Superfund toxicity sensors and they've developed a taste for human blood. #monsterdon
"For Those About to Rock (love theme from Maximum Overdrive)"
oh they do. why do you think hard rock is so popular?
@Lazarou This is the song I heard in my head when I got on the shed roof when I was thirteen, yeah #Monsterdon
@Newpa_Hasai you've just summed up the 80s pretty well.
So like the truck coulda plowed right through the truck stop diner and took 'em all out so I guess this means that truck stops are like Sacred Ground for demon rigs or something
Or maybe it just can't happen because the plot of this #Monsterdon would collapse instantly otherwise I dunno
I don't understand why the trucks don't just drive into the diner?
Like do they have another agenda besides murder? Has anyone even thought to ask? My god everyone is so selfish
Jesus on the record player on fire.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive
Why is the truck afraid to run into the diner? I think it could take everyone out and still be running fine #monsterdon
Ooo, he's a *fuckhead* well I'm sure he's just devastated mister estivez #Monsterdon
what about a Turing Machine? Does that become sentient too?
#monsterdon all Stephen King boys end up in sewers
@ItsTheManOnTheMoon That's the secret. Nothing in this movie happens story wise.
@diazona Princeton? A+ food option for when you're broke and living there (as I did one summer)
The kid in the movie has it the worst. He's seen more shit than anyone else, which is kind of on par for King at the time.
Bingo!
'there might be a way to get to him and put him out of his misery'
Nooo let him die please #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon
All those trucks blowing their horns and she didn't even have to flash them.
On the plus side, all the evil, murderous automobiles might finally break America of it's addiction to car culture.
βMaybe tomorrow it will be our world againβ
Donβt. Say. It. Out. Loud. #Monsterdon
oh I knew the bible guy wasn't dead. king's gotta have a religious nut or some equivalent
I feel like citizens of the Canadian capital understand this movie better than most...
bible salesman's a borg now, it's 100% a trap
Wait, how can the trucks fill up their tanks?
#monsterdon
Did I miss a part where it explains why the trucks don't just smash through the building? Do the trucks not want to harm the neon signs or something?
@Taweret corncobs in the outfield are a sign of a team hitting home runs or something
can I just take Yeardley Smith home with me? She can sass my ass any day of the week.
@steggy They run on cocaine #monsterdon
Eeeewww gross
Chekov's armory!
So guns count as simple machines and aren't possessed? I guess things need some wiring to be haunted by evil comet ghosts?
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive
"Whole Goddam world is going tits up"
This is a #Monsterdon for our times
Somebody is going to stick a gun in their pants at some point. You know how I feel about that
ok, but the thing is that nothing has actually happened in this movie yet storywise #monsterdon
I wonder how Jesus and the apostles would feel about their appearance in this movie
An Oscar-worthy monologue #monsterdon
Dude, she has a broken bottle in her hand. Donβt βSweet Thingβ her!!!! #Monsterdon
Oh good, I was hoping the lights were going to get in on the Being Evil thing.
