u dumdums boats also have motors

#monsterdon

All quiet on the ice cream truck front.

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

“Burger-Lean”? #monsterdon

Hahahahaha!!!!

Betrayed by the fast food drive through screen #Monsterdon

Is there a staircar? And does it worry about hop-ons?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon get ‘em, kid. Teach that burger menu who’s boss

@fabio Seems like a stretch to assume this movie is "about" anything

#Monsterdon

I wonder what the M72 LAW is doing right now

#Monsterdon

@Taweret I'm glad you said it first

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Spoiler for the sequel:

#monsterdon

the airplane nosediving into the schoolbus, okay, that's hilarious

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@moira oh I would soooo watch that

Robojesus vs Mechahitler

#Monsterdon

@70sgayspaceangel And a lot of them were already killed earlier.

#Monsterdon

Ya know they said it was the sewer and they were complaining about the smell etc but it leads to a culvert opening into a ditch by the highway talk about TERRIBLE environmental violations no wonder the machines rose up #Monsterdon

yessss more evil machines that aren't trucks

#monsterdon

This is actually a movie about the evils of the fossil fuel industry. I think. Or maybe not. #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

this might actually be the dumbest movie we've done and that's a high bar

#monsterdon

Okay look I am just a simple goblin who enjoys seeing shit get blown up.

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Was that Maggie Simpson?

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

How an audience gets tired #monsterdon

there's a gag in 1941 where a tank plows through a paint factory, gets covered in paint, then plows into a turpentine factory, and comes out clean the other side. I love movies.

#monsterdon

@Taweret It's Lightning McQueen talking to his kids. #Monsterdon

@Taweret when do the apes appear? #Monsterdon

Dixie Boy blowed up REAL GOOD. Well timed with the music too. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#monsterdon wow, it really was a Gas World

👂✋ ...Is that the docile tones of AC/DC

#monsterdon

I don't know how to feel about the fact that they made us wait 90 minutes before destroying the truck stop

like, this could have happened an hour ago and we might have had a semi-legitimate movie

...but then it wouldn't be #Monsterdon

With all the destruction here: cars getting crushed, buildings wrecked, glass smashed, it seems like another candidate for "The director's barely disguised fetish."
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Does the ending shot involve truck nuts? Setting up for a sequel?

#Monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

Oh c'mon. No burger joint squawk box was ever that clearly understood.

The small cars are now being punished for their loyalty to the humans. May they die with the past they cherished so greedily. #monsterdon

@saucerlost that lawnmower really just wanted to cut grass it never meant to hurt anyone #Monsterdon

better robojesus than mechahitler

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@diazona @nazokiyoubinbou They're throwing a truck tantrum, sure, but it doesn't get them any more fueled up. Seems short sighted. #Monsterdon

OMG. It's that bulldozer again attacking poor innocent cars.

That car didn't even do anything! Why are you just attacking it like this?

Omg, it just backed up and did it again. What the heck is wrong with this bulldozer? Geez what a jerk.

#Monsterdon

I want a version of this truck stop destruction set to the Cell Block Tango #Monsterdon

This must have been fun as hell to shoot #monsterdon

"Steve! We still got a whole lot of money in the special effects budget! What are we gonna do with it?"

#monsterdon

Grindhouse Frankenstein

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

I know I came in late, but have we established that it responds to be yelled at? Come on, Emilio, get creative

#monsterdon

Cars have no class consciousness.

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

That's car on car violence! #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

what do the trucks think they're going to achieve by tearing down the place that has the gas they eat

#monsterdon

I don't think I've been paying enough attention - I didn't realize there were so many supporting characters in that diner #Monsterdon

Think of all the similar parallel dramas that must be unfolding all over the world at this moment #monsterdon

"I'll bet there are spiders down there, I hate anything with more than four legs!"

*side-eyes @nev and @futurebird * them's fighting words

#monsterdon

@nazokiyoubinbou @dbendit I think we're finding out

#Monsterdon

Ah, no. That was the liquid oxygen truck that just now crashed through the building.

#Monsterdon

@apLundell No, he’s a grill cook. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

If those vehicles had rammed the truck stop when they first thought of it, they would have saved gas in the first place and the audience would have been spared all this next-best-thing-to-a-southern-monster-truck-demolition-derby.

Woman Who Can't Stop Talking Annoyingly Because She's a Woman is one of my least favourite fictional tropes, from Ioreth on out

#Monsterdon

Ooo there's some guitar licks time to get good

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@jeffron You can't make me watch that again. You can't.

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Okay so now the trucks are cannibalizing the refrigerators and jukeboxes?

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

fuck not the pinball cabs nooooo
#monsterdon

@RamenCatholic Life was more interesting then. #Monsterdon

@saucerlost sounds about right

#Monsterdon

If it's stupid, but it works...

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@Taweret Strictly preschool mentality here #monsterdon

............I hate everyone in this movie

#monsterdon

lol okay, that was pretty slick of Gordon Bombay there

#Monsterdon

A hero with his ass in the air? She's never watched gay porn #Monsterdon

Like this movie does not make sense. But it's competently filmed for a guy who was flying high on a months long cocaine bender.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Man you can smell the gas fumes. #Monsterdon

uhoh, the LLM in the drive-thru is busted again

#monsterdon

That feels like it could have happened quite some time ago

#Monsterdon

What would the trucks do if they didn't have the mobile gun platform to threaten people? Do the rest of the trucks even know Morse? #Monsterdon

I don't understand how these characters are still standing now that their only cook has bitten the dust (I don't count Emilio) #monsterdon

@Taweret The Guns Have Ears #Monsterdon

Butts! #monsterdon

See? That was easy #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

There's just as much evidence for this "broom" theory as "there are a bunch of wizards on the comet trying to settle a bet as to what would happen if all trucks became alive. #monsterdon

so the gun can HEAR him?

#monsterdon

I think we are supposed to give a shit about poor "Bill" being all heat exhausted and philosophical and shit.
#monsterdon

Who did King has as his director of photography? They managed to pull of some good shots now and then.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@strangefour I'm sure this bit of dialogue was actually uttered by somebody involved in filming

#Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie my Dodge Dart would catch on fire sometimes when we turned on the air conditioner. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon That truck is “Thurston” for some more gas! ⛽️😎

The horror is back, won't they ever stop????

#Monsterdon

shhh baby you’re monologuin’ #monsterdon

Did he climb Kilimanjaro or pump gas FFS?

#Monsterdon

LOL are they getting boo'd? #monsterdon

I don’t get it, what’s wrong with Emilio? He feels kinda hot? #monsterdon

idk why that lady keeps screaming "we made you" like the machines give a shit #Monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

So...did Steven King also handle food services as well?

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive1986

I was wondering when Thurston would show up

#monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

Send in the brooooms
Don't bother, they're heeeeere

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

this is a weird movie to watch while prepping for a podcast episode discussing Planet of the Apes

#monsterdon

Oooh, truck stop boy done figured it out!

#Monsterdon

the hero we need right now: the 11'8" bridge!

#monsterdon

The movie moves along like molasses in January

#Monsterdon

I don't understand what the vehicles are using for ears #monsterdon

The magic of gasoline fumes gave him powers of exposition #Monsterdon

I'm not even bothering to figure out what Emilio is mumbling. 🙄
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive1986

who the fuck taught the trucks morse code?

#monsterdon

Oh shit #Monsterdon is Maximum Overdrive?? One of my favorite movies. Enjoy!!

Did the Popemobil run over the pope?
#monsterdon

i can't make out anything they're saying when they do those mumbling scenes and i'm probably better off

#monsterdon

Is this a Cars prequel?

#Monsterdon

*GASP*
Gasoline is a metaphor for cocaine!
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive
