so we just learned the kid actually has a pretty good motivation for having made his way to the truck stop

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon there she goes again, “I THINK THEY’RE DEAD”

the guy in the green shirt is me, most mornings, before tea.

smashes through all doors breaking any glass in them

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?

#monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie I'm just glad he made it... I thought he got run over at the baseball field. Way to go, kid. #monsterdon

"We went out to save a filthy Christian evangelical and came back with a clean-cut American kid. You're welcome, honey." #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Get me out of this ditch, or by Jesus, I'll kill you. These lines just write themselves.

@Taweret King just recently sold his radio station WZON in Maine. All it played was old white guy rock, all the time #Monsterdon

A friend asked to visit tonight so instead of #Monsterdon we walked down to the lake. The highlight was this critter! Just a lil kit.

Hope y'all are having a blast!

This murder brought to you by Bic Pens. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

AC/DC whips ass and AC/DC is stale dad rock in 2025, both of these things can be true at the same time #monsterdon

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

@fabio he's an equal opportunity sex offender

#monsterdon

#monsterdon and that little boy grew up to be? JD Vance.

Little baseball boy climbed through a river of shit and came out clean.

HELP ME TRUCK STOP SPOCK HELP ME

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

idk why the trucks dont just break the building and run them over #Monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

I have so many concerns about this scene with the sewers...particularly after being reminded of how good sewer work is done by rereading some Rivers of London books recently (I didn't read that far back, but they did make a quip about it since at this point it's a running gag).

can a drain work as a 'cave' for purposes of monsterdon mega card bingo?

Personally I would go into the sewer to save a dude who has chick tracts
#monsterdon

@Cherizilla I think the jukebox is a friendly too #monsterdon

Of course the bible salesman would grab a boy's leg #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

🎼🎶Foley working o-o-overtime🎵 #Monsterdon

@diazona So, so many questions

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Brett and Connie exchange lines...about men. Dammit #monsterdon

folks bagging on ac/dc is like claiming Matrix bullet-time is washed up and shit :(

#monsterdon

STFU Curtis #Monsterdon

You know, seeing movies like this, where presumably machines all over the world go crazy like this, there's a part of me that wants to see the aftermath, the "how does the world react to machines going vile". The conspiracy theories, the banning of machines, all that jazz.

#Monsterdon

There's another blast from the past. I haven't played spoons in forever!

#Monsterdon

Stephen King, snorts cocaine

"Make them crawl through shit for me, I am a god!!"

#Monsterdon

@hollie I'm lumping that in with all the other questions about this plot I'm deliberately preventing myself from asking

#Monsterdon

Kate Bush would do the soundtrack to Krull, like obviously

#monsterdon

Curtis is kind of a dick #monsterdon

Ya know, the waitress/server freaking out is very much like Mrs. Carmody (Marcia Gay Harden) in "The Mist".

#monsterdon

Welp, someone’s got flesh eating disease now.

#Monsterdon

#MaximumOverdrive

Oh c'mon.
I'm watching this thing on Internet Archive and "similar items based on metadata --Play All" brings up Black Adder and Red Dwarf. Not even damn close.

#Monsterdon #eep

Is someone putting together a spreadsheet of all the non-murderous machines in this film? I think it would be invaluable when the next comet runs by #monsterdon

Rattum!! 💞

The rat's like, "you all are stupid. The ledge is dry."

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#monsterdon I really love the brown water in these sewers.

@davesdogmaggie yeah the most unrealistic part of this movie where machines are coming to life is where the hitchhiker, who goes around with a knife for self defense against creeps, was arguing for those guys risking THEIR lives to save the life of the guy who assaulted her

#monsterdon

I don't think I've ever seen a wooden square sewer pipe before.

Either way, why the heck are they crawling through it? You think this thing can handle the weight of a trailer truck on top of it?

#Monsterdon

this married man will NOT let up on how much of a piss freak he is! half his lines are about loving piss! #monsterdon

Steven King as the sewer rat.

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

@hollie Maybe if they just bothered to talk to the trucks and listen to their concerns…

#Monsterdon

ratty boi!

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

I like that Hero and Milhouse are bonding while on adventure, suck on that Jordan!

#Monsterdon

Feels like the script's dialogue was intended to be improv based on cookie cutter, dumb bullshit, but everyone just spouts these lines with complete sincerity.
#Monsterdon

eeeeuuuuwwwwwww

@ramsey I suppose that makes more sense than anything else I could think of... I'd imagine a truck would be unlikely to get stuck after smashing a wooden building though

#Monsterdon

This is the horniest truck stop being circled by killer trucks I've ever seen

#Monsterdon

Tomorrow it'll be Donald Trump's world #monsterdon

#monsterdon That kid is out past his bedtime.

All bad ideas should come with a rock music soundtrack....

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Jesus on the record player on fire.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

So, can the sentient trucks see without their headlights on? Wouldn't they be even more dangerous and creepy if they had their headlights off?

The waitress is basically made out of ham, and is a true scenery devouring machine!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@SRLevine Yes! I'm glad someone got the reference 😀

I also survived on Haven for a couple summers but when they started recognizing me and knowing my order I figured I should probably eat other things every once in a while

#Monsterdon

the gas pumps and some signs are still lit

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Curtis had really better not die #monsterdon

cue the effing ACDC

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

ha! tell him Emilio! #monsterdon

Haven. . . .

a city without violence?
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@diazona They risk not being able to run after crashing into something. Maybe?

#Monsterdon

@yatsu so the kid would probably be safe hunkering down for a bit but i bet he's very hungry and thirsty at this point

#monsterdon

They're gonna race out there to help the bible salesman and it's just gonna be a Speak'n'Spell that fell off the toy truck luring them out into the Autonomous Republic of Trucksylvania #monsterdon

I'm a few minutes behind on this one and wow... the dialogue quoted in the messages really is quoted.

#monsterdon

I'd be tempted to approximate the amount of drugs King had in his system directing this but I'd have to remortgage this house and sell my cars just to come even halfway. Also I'm already like 7 minutes behind I think, and I'd have to pause again...

Is she 14 or 34 #monsterdon #maximumoverdrive1986

#monsterdon IF the trucks are gonna honk at them all night, I say the people kiss and make loud slurpy eating noises at them.

The comet ghosts in the sky are angry they don't yet have a strong steal body to rampage in.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Join them, devote yourselves to them and they will spare you #monsterdon

IS AN INCLINED PLANE TOO SIMPLE A MACHINE TO BECOME SENTIENT

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Lol the bible salesman is only mostly dead

#Monsterdon

I think that whole "We made you!" debacle has to do with the album title: "Who Made Who". Which wikipedia says was the title of this album by AC/DC.
#monsterdon

The trucks seem to be allergic to the building

#Monsterdon

@Infoseepage oh dang

it has been a minute

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

"help me, truck shop spock"

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

They've not quite had enough time for him to have... at least not like a hero!

#Monsterdon

Wow I honestly didn’t know AC/DC did a ballad #monsterdon

"Don't worry, buddy! We'll send an ambulance right after you!" #monsterdon

It's just a Bible salesman guys, we can get another one

#monsterdon

You pukey things! WE MADE YOU! jeebus lol
#monsterdon

@trixter #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@strangefour Same as bicycles I guess.#Monsterdon

#monsterdon ok so trucks bad spoons good, got it

was the poop sound effect really necessary?? #monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

Should we just write off the Bic truck character, or is it's role going to rise in importance?

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Ewww!

Mah-mah-mah-Mitchell…

(And if you got that joke, you are awesome abd now officially the Owlbear's friend.)

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

ohh the trucks can only go until they run out of gas?? :|c

#monsterdon

Wait, how can the trucks fill up their tanks?
#monsterdon

I'm also thinking of a place called Haven

It's a hoagie restaurant

Excellent place to be in any sort of disaster scenario

#Monsterdon

Oh, gee, the comet? Ya think?
