Demon Convoy...

ROLL OUT!!!

#Monsterdon

This isn't that bad in retrospect. It certainly wastes no time getting to the action!

#monsterdon

Oh good I was worried about what Curt and Connie were up to

#monsterdon

#monsterdon ARE WE DEAD

Oh god, imagine the smell on the set.

All that vintage 80s high-sulfur diesel from poorly tuned trucks?

UGH.

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

didn't know Mr. Howell was a trucking magnate.

#Monsterdon

Airplanes were not affected, for reasons that I’m sure have nothing to do with budget #monsterdon

you got your ears on?

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@CactuarJoe It's all those gears #monsterdon

"Convoy" starts playing in a minor key #monsterdon

Not even a suitcase full of Bibles--even if it is your most valued possession -- can slow down a truck.

#Monsterdon

What do you think is the pecking order of the trucks here? Because I'm gonna make a wild guess that the Bic truck is the nerd.

#Monsterdon

It's the man who can't see, but it's the car that missed.
#Monsterdon

@healyn A likely story.

#monsterdon

These trucks seem profoundly unconcerned about the blood splashed across their various body parts

You'd think that'd be uncomfortable

Think of the rust

#Monsterdon

Break 19

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#Monsterdon Oh, I reckon a knocked over phone booth does.

[southern befuddlement throughout]

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

So far the level of racism and sexism is lower than I expected. Not zero, just lower #monsterdon

The real monster in this #Monsterdon is the Fat Fuck boss man

#monsterdon Bingo. This movie made it way too easy!!!

The SK short story was called Trucks, I think. It was just big rigs that came to life. Most of it happened in a truck stop, so they kept that bit.

#monsterdon

@Victorsigmoid

We got a great big convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight!

#Monsterdon

and that ugly green goblin face truck was the evillest one of all... and that evil comet that made them all evil... was fat

#monsterdon

taking out the phone booth - smart. no need to worry about superman

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

There's a freedom convoy joke in there #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

@jadebees TBH I don't think so, considering all the questions people are posting about why some kinds of machines are turning evil and some aren't

#Monsterdon

Green Goblin FTW!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

This really is making me want to re-watch Repo Man.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive1986

Autobots, roll out!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Hey! He jumped into the back of that truck.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon this is all just a GMC ad — kid

We got a mighty convoy, trucking thru the night...

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#monsterdon Beautiful splatter job!

It seems like Stephen King has never met any actual people or seen any two people have a normal conversation. The dialogue and writing is kinda ridiculous.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon TRUCK AVENGERS ASSEMBLE

#monsterdon So, they haven't made any effort to disable any of these trucks?

AUTOBOTS ROLL OUT

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon radios count as phones?

Product placement! We selling pens!

#Monsterdon

Never run in a straight line from a sentient eighteen wheeler #monsterdon

we will never forgive @healyn for abandoning us

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

South Carolina version of "circling the wagons".

Aw come on! Showed the rear of the red car but no truck to hit it! Disappoint.

#MaximumOverdrive_1986 #monsterdon

Is it weird that I like the kind of guitar-riff sound "ree ree ree" like it's about to build into some serious rock? Too bad it doesn't though.

#Monsterdon

Girls got toes like someone threw a shrimp cocktail on the floor.

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive #Superman

I'm loving how everyone's thinking very hard about the rules of this movie. Much more so than the filmmakers #Monsterdon

It only just occurred to me that in this universe, anyone with a smart toilet probably died on the throne.

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

it seems like the evil force can only make some things be proactively evil like cars and things with motor, but for stuff like radios it only knows how to make them sort of broken but isn't like "making up evil radio stations that send bad info" #monsterdon

did this blond bitch just laugh at the girl being upset at being sexually harassed/assaulted. he needs 2 die

#monsterdon

I'm sorry, I had to give up on this movie...tubi keeps interrupting with ads, then restarting it

And Jaws is on TV, so I'm watching that now. I apologize to the #monsterdon community

@jammerb woohoo congrats!

#Monsterdon

How do we call on the machines to take out Bubba?

#Monsterdon

fuck THAT phone booth in particular

#monsterdon

Wonder what it's like in Amish country during this time #monsterdon

Bingo!

#monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

I hate it when a beloved character dies.

This is great, though!!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon was that guy saying he needed to check up on someone a risky plan?

Oh the doggie no...
Wait how is the guy still transmitting on the radio?
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@Taweret The soundtrack could help establish a tone, if it weren’t just occasional guitar screams. Maybe that’s the point. #monsterdon

Are the trucks going to duel for dominance now?

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

"Snot bag?"

What is, the playground?

We can't get a rating for a couple of 'cunts'

lol, the Creep dies in a muddy ditch!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Right about this point, you also start rooting for Cujo, dson'tcha? Arf arf!

Oh there it is #Monsterdon

And so ends the lesson for today. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#monsterdon That preacher's got quite a mouth on him!

Herbie the murder bug!
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#Monsterdon almost finished bingo!

#Monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

Oh that serves 'em right--bloody up that BIC truck why don'tcha.

Is he a bible salesman?

#Monsterdon

Yes Christine! Kill the bible idiot #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

Bubba is the monster #monsterdon

I know there's a lot of reasons to shit on Stephen King, but I'm from a place where religion stayed in the 1970s, and a Bible salesman being this much of an asshole is *still* refreshing. #Monsterdon

Emilio, you need to start selecting sanctuary recipients based on quality, not quantity. #monsterdon

Ahhhhh, satisfying.

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

bubba is piggly wiggly
#monsterdon

Did he just titty punch the waitress?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon oh he done pissed off the goblin truck now

@Taweret that's ok, so was the author and director

#monsterdon

#monsterdon The Car Talk guys were spared by the truck overlords.

da FINGAH!

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#Monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

All that brazen full throated cussin' and the best Bubba can do is a Col. Potter.
"Horse pucky!"

No no! Let him get mashed! #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

why did his shoes come off

#monsterdon

I love how the Bible salesman is pitching the Bible like no one knows what it is.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

You know, as stupid as this film is in terms of writing, concept, acting...

I am enjoying the practicals.

And you know? Maybe that's enough.

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

Duncan did NOT deserve that 😔 #Monsterdon

#monsterdon oh no the cars are infighting

More like Duncan't

#Monsterdon

the truck hates the car because the car is a machine class traitor

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Pat Hingle with the stealth advertisement for "Punching Out" podcast I recorded earlier today!

#Monsterdon

lol, 'Capitalism'

We should tell the Oligarchs to leave us the fuck alone!

#Monsterdon

“What if ‘Christine’ but everything” #monsterdon

#Monsterdon he shoulda seen that one coming!

Vulture.com presents an oral history of the subtitlers' decision to write "fatfuck" as one word. #monsterdon

this is one of those movies where I'm having a hard time reading the intended tone

#monsterdon

I appreciate there's a villain more evil than the machines.

#Monsterdon

Riding around on a bike and seeing this is the sort of thing that could entice a kid to build a spaceship and fly off on adventures with TV watching aliens.

#Monsterdon

Lookout kid! Clint Howard could be driving that thing!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Yeah, looks like this is the very same.
