Movie tagline: Have a gay old time on Boat Homo!
#Monsterdon

@moira the beautiful comet didn't deserve to be maligned like this....

#monsterdon

Looks like humans left the diner just in time.

#Monsterdon

@wulfric oh, there was a plot? Do tell 😊
#Monsterdon

@lytta That's how I read it, yeah. Comet as cover.

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@lytta ...my brain doesn't work well enough to address this

#Monsterdon

well that wasn't very good, now, was it? xD

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

No Stephen. No. #monsterdon

I'm not a fan of pyrotechnics as justification for a film #monsterdon

@apLundell Paddles? That's the best I've got...

#Monsterdon

Giancarlo Esposito as the video game player! #Monsterdon

The fun-to-quality ratio on this movie is high #monsterdon

@Louisa That bus broke the plane’s heart at the airport after having a fling with a fuel truck which liked to give the bus its load all the time. #Monsterdon

@paco In stephen king's world, anything's possible. #monsterdon

The gang escaping to another diner has massive "dungeon master has exactly two (2) settings and will be damned if he's setting up a third".
#Monsterdon

Another fun one! Maybe Critters 3 for next week? #Monsterdon

Filmed on location in Wilmington, NC.

The Blazin' End.
S. King starting out and P. Hingle on the slide on the downside of his career.
This, after I watched an episode of The Twilight Zone titled "A Thing About Machines", where a snobby restaurant reviewer came to his untimely end from stuff around the house.

imdb.com/title/tt0734551/

Oh man. I think this maybe really was the best/worst of the worst/best movies we've watched...

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I’m just glad the rocket launcher stayed on our side

a lot fewer people died in that movie than i was expecting after we saw a child get pancaked

#monsterdon

@ryan Would have been the coolest thing in the movie if we say it
#monsterdon

The writing is 🤌🏾 #monsterdon

That was stupid explosive fun. Thanks @Taweret for hosting. Have a great week Beautiful Mutants! #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

King could have just financed his own personal monster truck rally without inflicting this on all of us.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Green Goblin is a much smaller part of this movie than I remember.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

I wonder if Elon Musk watched this movie and said "This is the future I want"?

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

great soundtrack, lame ending
#monsterdon

everyone’s favorite Real Technology, laser cannons #monsterdon

Mothertrucker

Gnight folks!

#Monsterdon

so you were clearly aware of nuclear weapons and yet chose not to incorporate that into the plot, interesting

#Monsterdon

"she was a fast machine"

fucking WHOA.

#monsterdon

That final title card. Wowza. #Monsterdon

seriously they COULD HAVE TAKEN A SAILBOAT THOSE EXIST

#monsterdon

well i started that film needing to lie down, and i ended that film really needing to lie down, so i guess there's that. #monsterdon

WUT

#Monsterdon

I am not usually this happy to see the credits roll. Goodnight, fellow Monsterdonians, have a good week.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

What the fuck did I just watch?

#Monsterdon

Of all the movies we watched so far, this was one of them.

Good lord.

I blame all of you who voted for this.

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive
#NotMyMovie

UFO! Russian weather satellite! Read this thing because we didn't have the budget to film it! #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

Guy is too dumb to untie a basic knot, and goes all Gordion on it #Monsterdon

This movie brought to you by ExxonMobil. "This is what happens when you fuel you vehicle with low grade gas"
#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive1986

but.... Repo Man is still on parole and doesn't have a job... so back to prison with him?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon The final explanatory slide is fucking insane.. LOLLLL.,

That boat is clearly under motor power
#monsterdon

Getting a tramp stamp that reads "the survivors of the Dixie Boy are still survivors"

#monsterdon

Starring Steven King as everyone and himeself.

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

Oh, that text at the end cleared everything up, phew.

#Monsterdon

All I want is a Russian weather satellite with a laser attached to it's head.

#Monsterdon

oh but we did fuck off into a body of water this time, woo

#monsterdon

@goinfawr I mean, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Molasses_Flood killed 21 people

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🚚 🤖 📠 🏧 😱

And then all the characters f*cked off into the sea, I guess.

No Stephen. No. #monsterdon

Don't worry Steve we can just add the ending in post when you come down

#monsterdon

Well that was... explodey! Thanks, all.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive1986

Oh the trucks and Killdozer are all drunk and partying.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#monsterdon IT WAS A UFO THIS WHOLE TIME???

When I write my review Yeardley Smith is going to account for one entire star #monsterdon

@whiskeysailor Considering we're watching them cut the mooring rope with a knife, I'd say no...

#Monsterdon

sure, Steve

#monsterdon

Poochie died on the way back to his home planet #theEnd #monsterdon

so the heroes are fucking off into the sea for a change #monsterdon

And they fucked off into the sea.

All them on one boat.

With no food.

I see where this is going.

#Monsterdon

I love the concept of an 18-wheeler sneaking up on someone and managing to run at high speed and kill someone who didn't see it coming.
#monsterdon

That was kind of anticlimactic - movie's energy really dropped off in the last 30 minutes #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Was that another Hitchcock reference? #EekEekEekEek

Yes, 1980s movie makers expected viewers to READ.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive1986

This has been a delightfully silly movie. :3

#Monsterdon

We at least they explained it all in the end

#monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

#monsterdon and then they repopulated the earth from their island home

Is that really the best one-liner they could come up with? #Monsterdon

He's gonna bring the truckuss

To all you mutha(shut yo mouth)

#monsterdon

So trucks are evil, cars are evil, but boats are safe? #monsterdon

so. you DID have to kill the Head Truck. that was actually what they did

okay then

ty for joining, everyone!!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon What's the plan for getting that out of the marina without starting the engine?

and then the boat turns out to be a machine too, and they all drown. too bad. #monsterdon

To the sea! Where man has long thrived without the aid of any kind of machine! #monsterdon

So boats are ok I guess #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

And that ice cream truck...so explosive! Definitely violating all sorts of health and safety codes amirite? #Monsterdon

Ewwww, Brad's plundering the dead...

#Monsterdon

"I think at one point my mom said, 'Why'd you do that movie?' I said, I wanted to work with Stephen King.' And she said, 'Couldn't you have helped him paint his house?'" -Emilio Estevez, on Maximum Overdrive #Monsterdon

You got greedy, and now the Goblin’s gonna get you!

I don’t make the rules #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Lootin’ the dead!

MICHAEL BAY! #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

Do anyone of these people know how to sail?
#monsterdon

#monsterdon oh you goblin food now

"This is for my dad you loudmouth son of a bitch" is the same thing I said to the clerk at the pool supply store who razzed me for buying a giant inflatable watermelon pool toy. #monsterdon

Stefon: This movie has EVERYTHING: gas drug deals, sepia overtones, an entire Peewee League, cheap diner corn dogs that NO ONE is eating, and look over there, it's a traveling Bible salesman who's up shit creek without a paddle but a paddle wouldn't help because he's DEAD.
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🚚 🤖 📠 🏧 😱

Would any of the ice cream have survived? Because these ppl need some ice cream.

#Monsterdon Oh, *that’s* how we stop those annoying fucking Mr Whippy trucks?!

"sink the pink" thanks ac/dc #monsterdon

gotta take the time to loot the dead while fleeing evil murder trucks

#monsterdon

we missed out on #Monsterdon this time, was asked to cook dinner, and I did linguine alla carbonara along with green beans and mushrooms ~Chara

The ice cream truck is playing KING OF THE ROAD?!

LOLOLOLOLOL

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

I was hoping the creepy ice cream truck would turn into It 😕

#monsterdon

Oh, Bill, you've got heatstroke! Here, let me push my tits in your face and rub you with a dry cloth!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Brad got greedy, and the Green Goblin came for him.

#Monsterdon

Just like in every TV show, if you shoot the screen it means the machine no longer works

#Monsterdon

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

I scream you scream we all scream for 'sploding ice cream
