We got ourselves a convoy!
Back in the 80s, we all had happy assholes
Lawnmowerman reference?
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive
in retrospect weβre not entirely sure why we rigged the toy delivery truck with operational glowing red green goblin eyes #monsterdon
So wait, his name is Bubba and he calls everyone bubba? #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon
Seeing that Bible salesman say "outta my way bitch!" is FANTASTIC excellent writing and direction Mr. King! #Monsterdon
So basically shut down all the gas stations, problem solved in a few days.
I mean. Sort of.
Pumped my fist so hard at "you wanna rock and roll with me, pus bag?" that I missed the chance to pump it again for "you happy asshole!" #Monsterdon
tackiness as a sign of evil seems like a recurring device in King's stuff
#monsterdon where is your bible NOW
Knocked him out of his shoes! Myth confirmed!
Duncan had a reason to live, he was a goner....
Lol, loving how the Creep is being tormented
Feeling like I'm gonna OD on the sheer amount of 80s.
#Monsterdon
Lawnmower is the worst Transformer ever.
Trash metaphor
"Look out!"
Dude we just had a ten minute scene about why he CAN'T DO THAT. #Monsterdon
Oh someone's getting punched. #Monsterdon
Maximum Overdrive x Twisted Metal collab when?
βFrom the Creation to the Fall of Mankindβ
Sir, thatβs literally only the first three chapters of the book #Monsterdon
Ice cream truck in Maximum Overdrive mode #monsterdon
@saucerlost It's a Helluva Drug!
@GramrgednAngel #Monsterdon
#monsterdon It's a rude thing to say βHomicidal Rampage" when you mean to say "THE IT DEPARTMENT" and we grunt, drag-knuckles, and growl out βreboot" and "it's always dnsβ¦ always.β ;)
@Bluedepth It didnβt really get any better.
Sex toys..... think about it....
MULCHER WHY I HARDLY
So the guy strangled by their walkman... Is the cord prehensile? #Monsterdon
Ice cream truck of ....... death!
This child's reaction to his neighborhood getting Purged is akin to mine when I thought I had bread for sandwiches and turns out I didn't. #monsterdon
we did a movie where the monster was rocks and it made more sense than this
For years, John Hodgman claimed to be shopping-around a screenplay in which 'all animals attack all humans'.
And the truck menacingly TURNED ON ITS LIGHTS!
NOT THE DOG #monsterdon
#monsterdon The dog with a car in his mouth!!!!! WTF???
DID THAT PERSON GET KILLED BY THEIR WALKMAN!?!?
Wait, how did a Walkman kill someone? #Monsterdon
Will the jingle truck back up? It should for extra horror.
Real life, where slightly butch girls just casually drop βyouβre cuteβ lines to strangers after a few deaths by possessed motor vehicles.
I knew this movie was gonna be stupid but wow
#monsterdon Here comes another loadβ¦**GOD PLEASE LET IT KEEP GOING** LOL
Aw, poor beetle :/ #Monsterdon
How the *fuck* is the radio station still working? #Monsterdon
Just an average 80s kid on a bike, making his way home after having Seen Some Shit...
i'm enjoying the movie-effects carnage carnage everywhere set to rock music
#monsterdon hammocks are technology too
top five least appropriate moment in cinematic history for horny music right there #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon π π€ π π§ π±
The sprinkler salutes to the kid bike riding = A+++ filmmaking
EVIL SPRINKLERS. Watering your lawn.
Sprinklers like AAAAAAAAAARGH I WILL *KILL YOU HUMAN CHILD* sprinkle sprinkle sprinkle #Monsterdon
If the sprinklers turned on like that while I was riding my bike I'd think it was SO COOL
#monsterdon
"You're cute." Lady, you somehow have a mullet
Not gonna lie that Demon Rig has a groovy interior #Monsterdon
everyone trying to figure out the "rules" of which machines go evil and which don't: bless your little hearts
Apparently the wing mirrors on that truck, which were not motorized at the time, become motorized once the truck becomes sentient?
"What kinda guy could figure out what's happening in short order?"
King: a short order cook
"Here comes another load... of joy!"
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon That's right...climb into a machine. Lube up, stuff yourself up in there, youβd be moody too, maybe?! ;)
βHappy Toys: Here Comes Another Load of Joy!β
Stephen King, donβt ever stop being yourself.
You want driverless vehicles? THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS
Boy howdy Lisa Simpson sure is a...an...assertive driver #Monsterdon
That clown has seen some shit. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive
tubi restarted this movie for me after an ad, so I had to fast forward to the first scene with Lisa Simpson #monsterdon
The BIC truck had the BIC slogan of βFlick Your BIC.β I really hope that was a real slogan at the time, but I also hope it wasnβt.
i got bingo real early ^_^
The most unrealistic part of this movie is that the invading alien intelligence can perfectly drive stick first try.
βAre you dead?β is such a great question. Thereβs only one answer #Monsterdon
Wait how are SOME vehicles now sentient and others are not?
I need to stop thinking so hard
Respect for the props team making every single headlight look like an eye, apparently
How did Yeardley Smith look about 50 when she was only 20, dang.
I guess this would've seemed unrealistic before Elon decided he could make self driving cars without lidar #monsterdon
Yeardley Smith, the voice-actor for Bart Simpson.
I remember Yeardly Smith from this and The Legend of Billie Jean before she was on the Simpsons. She looks SO YOUNG here. #Monsterdon
But why are trucks and not cars effected though? C'mon......the clock turns evil but the car is our friend regardless?
It almost feels like Lisa wants Curtis to be dead #monsterdon
Mater's origin story.
I like how she asks "are you dead?" instead of "are you alright?"
#monsterdon
I ... I don't know if I would have saved that man from being run over by that truck. #IAmABadQuaker
MATER! Goddammit, Mater!
[clock ticks menacingly]
#monsterdon why does the 13yo bride also look like grandma zeitel from Fiddler on the Roof?
Dude's about to get murdered by Mater. #Monsterdon
I thought you all were joking but that literally is the actress who voices Lisa Simpson playing the bride in this movie
Is a pair of pliers a βmachineβ? Would a socket wrench come after you? #monsterdon
yeah, go ahead and get your fingerprints all over the place, sir. #monsterdon
Feels like had seen a movie like this before ...
An "Eat my shorts" an entire year before The Simpsons first appeared on The Tracy Ullman Show #monsterdon
Theyβre gonna die, aren't they? #Monsterdon
His dash is layered with those comic gospel mini books they used to make. #monsterdon
I was expecting the green goblin truck to run over that man like the steam roller in Austin Powers.
#monsterdon
although we all know that stephen king isn't afraid to stick a cast of varied characters in one place and then slowly kill every single one off
"Are you on something?!"
Stephen King probably heard that a LOT in the 1980s #Monsterdon
go go go goblin truck #TeamMonster
[18-wheeler quietly revs engine]
not the evil goblin truck, surely that couldn't be evil #monsterdon
Truly love her hat and jacket combo. #Monsterdon
Green Goblin hates sexism. #monsterdon
@klu9 it's playing up to every clichΓ© I have about the place, lol
"I took you thirty feet, I expect some poon!" #Monsterdon
