Be neat… This mean’s you. #Monsterdon

Was this a Stephen King book or am I mixing it up with Christine?

#monsterdon

why is he more fucked up than everyone else who was fueling up the trucks? why does he need tending and she doesn't????

#monsterdon

vee haff vays of making you pump gas

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Wait, there are trucks full of napalm out there? Whatever for? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🚚 🤖 📠 🏧 😱

I was not expecting 'people become exhausted because they had to pump gas for a long time' to be a major plot point

#monsterdon is Emilio having a stroke?

#monsterdon e/acc was right, we just need more energy

do the trucks run out of gas? did they address that? they might have. I zoned out for a while

#monsterdon

dude don't turn your own crank in front of everybody like that

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Anybody remember this series where the vehicles ran on blood? Now there's an idea. The possessed cars can keep going so long as they splatter people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_Drive_(TV_series)

#monsterdon

this is probably the closest I'll ever come to watching Cars

#Monsterdon

i do believe we just saw a non-electric simple machine act under its own agency again

(the gas pump wheel)

#monsterdon

the truck just wants closeness

#Monsterdon

"this is a a good movie" -- @uptownsongclub , watching Emilio Estevez get bullied by an 18-wheeler

#monsterdon

The code is like 18 wpm, I can't decode it in my head #monsterdon

that mack truck like
:3
rn

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon It’s a fuel truck, dummy!

Gotta give the kid some kudos. He's the best actor in the movie.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

How the heck big is the fuel tank at this station??? It took all day with like 5000 trucks to finally use it all up???

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

THE SONG WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

HELL'S BELLS

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

What was the plan here? I thought they were going to fill the trucks with something other than gas but apparently not #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

Oh look! There is!!

#Monsterdon

i will say this movie could also be an extended ad for Levis though #Monsterdon

this scene is harrowing if you imagine the weird tv channel thing they have at gas stations now for hours

#monsterdon

Just like tank-man!

#monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

Deke wearing a Champion spark plugs shirt is chef's kiss

#monsterdon

I sure hope there's an evil refuelling truck somewhere that can refill the station's tanks later.

#Monsterdon

Wanda, no! Don't go out there without talking to one of the female characters about your life first! #monsterdon

playing chicken with a murderous truck to prove you're a real man

#monsterdon

The trucks act like large wild animals.

#Monsterdon

So civilized of the mad trucks to queue up so politely

#monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

So did they store the machine gun loaded or is someone on the machines' side doing the loading?

#Monsterdon #conspiracy

@paco I can only assume they're being extorted by the one with the machine gun... like, if it becomes clear the humans aren't going to provide fuel then it has no incentive not to shoot them all

Not that that makes a ton of sense but anything else I can think of makes literal zero sense

#Monsterdon

he just STOOD THERE

monitoring a gas pump

how is that so hard??

he could have had water or a snack

pumps that old had the lock so you could hold them on. they were even using it!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Everyone's comments have got me overthinking this thing. The plot of this movie is *snort* *snort*

#monsterdon WHO ARE YOU YOU HAVEN’T BEEN ONSCREEN THIS WHOLE TIME

The pink shirts against the green truck is nice color contrast #Monsterdon

tbh, if you had to pick any band to be the sole soundtrack artist for a movie about evil sentient 18-wheelers, AC/DC is a pretty good fit

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Hmm, sound’s gone out on YouTube.

I've been a bit flabbergasted since Emilio Estevez started going along with the "fuel up the death machines" plan without a second thought. Where the heck is this going? #monsterdon

Actually, I should also mark off “Risky Plan Made” for the current point in our movie, and that makes 3 BINGOs.

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

Just once I'd like to see someone in a movie snap in a believable way, and not a "the plot says now is when I go crazy" way

#Monsterdon

This is the second one of those Huffy BMXs with the Yellow pads all over them we've had in a #monsterdon movie. If you ever want to place a movie in a particular place in time, that's one way to do it.

Filler up with DEF pls

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

If the machines are now sentient why can’t the pumps operate themselves? #monsterdon

The gun truck shoulda been a Toyota Hilux!

#monsterdon

I don't understand. They can run out of gas? They can also run out of bullets. So why the fuck are you filling them up?
#monsterdon

The author's thinly disguised fetish: Big rigs.

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Come on, they wouldn't have known the difference until it was too late. Come on! I mean can they even read?

#Monsterdon

@steggy You were one step ahead of a plot point.

#Monsterdon

coke gags in 80s movies always cross a weird line that makes them unfunny

#monsterdon

He better be getting overtime for this shit
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon is that against OHS to have such a young bowser boy?

On the whole I'd really prefer to be watching Grizzly now #monsterdon

How big are the storage tanks in this place?

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

will any of the hostage humans develop stockholm syndrome with their new truck overlords

#monsterdon

Did the truck driver install those red eye lights, or did the truck figure out how to emit red light #monsterdon

It's like the opening scenes from Red Dawn. The 1980s one, obviously. Except dumber.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Wait. Is King saying that the comet energy is somehow being directed in a meaningful way to animate these vehicles? Like it is driving every truck and firing the guns? Why doesn't it just reach out and kill everyone directly, if that is the case?

@SRLevine Huh I don't actually know but I always thought people who communicate in Morse regularly could keep up with it and decode by ear. Seems similar to learning a foreign language, and not a particularly complicated one either. (To be fair I never could learn a foreign language so idk)

#Monsterdon

King wrote that line 30 seconds before this take.

#Monsterdon

I got a girl scout badge in moorse code and I never would have been able to do that.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

Well I didn't have that one on my bingo card either:
fuel tanker truck wants pumped gas.

Pat Hingle wasn't paid enough to actually do squibs.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

I have another uncomfortable question: did Stephen King somehow back his way into a cogent critique of the imperialist boomerang while coked out of his mind?

I am stone-cold sober. I promise.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon goblin likes.

#monsterdon man I am starting to get what the AI doomers are on about

This is a far point about every Machine Rebellion, they need us to refuel usually, the Wild doesn't have many recharge points....

#Monsterdon

Give this guy a role in Octaman II. #monsterdon

@Taweret #Monsterdon I watched Spiderhead the other night (time I’ll never get back) and it was supposed to be all serious, but then they made like a Keystone Kops sequence right at the end/climax. So weird.

"practically uncut"

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

So you're saying I should learn Moorse code incase, machine overlords?

#Monsterdon

You know it's a good thing literally one person in there knew Morse code or they'd all be screwed #Monsterdon

@MatthewTitus88

I watched Cocaine Shark, beats Cocaine Overdrive hands down for worst

#Monsterdon

@Taweret I will remind you that this is the man that gave us CUJO 3 years before this, so… not in his book.

#Monsterdon

this feature film could've just been a key and Peele skit is my point

#monsterdon

So that guy stood there for 10 full seconds of shooting waiting to catch it in the chest? #monsterdon

Not the American Express joke 😂😂😂 #Monsterdon

“Can you grab us a Sprite, too please” #monsterdon

she just Godwin'd the whole movie #monsterdon

Emilio with the yuks.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon yes exactly like Chamberlain giving in to the Nazis

Of course the kid is the only one who knows Morse Code

This, along with ubiquitous quicksand, was completely standard in ‘80s kid lit #Monsterdon

Kid consistently writes "so meon." I make typos like that all the time on the PC, but who does it in writing?

#Monsterdon

A boyscout is always a useful character.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

these people all failed at negotiation, didn't they?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🚚 🤖 📠 🏧 😱

Um, wut?

#monsterdon ok there keep being people we haven’t ever seen before

@Taweret Trucks was about 30 pages or so, so that tracks

#monsterdon

Me watching a Miller truck get blown up: "And nothing of value was lost."

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

KILLDOZER!! The special guest star has finally arrived!
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO DRINK YOUR OVALTINE. ALSO FUCK YOU HUMANS. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

So the machines speak Morse Code and not Machine Language?

Thank you, I'm here all night.

#Monsterdon

@gnomon oh dear lord

#Monsterdon

Called it!

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

Not the beer! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon the comet knows Morse code

And NOW we know why the kid is alive.
