to be fair, I genuinely enjoyed the sprinkler gag

#monsterdon

You don't see a truck full of water heaters every day. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon spooooky sprinklers

The soundtrack slaps!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive1986

Aw shit here we go again #monsterdon

okay that's who's going to survive this movie: the kid who DIDN'T get pancaked and looks super tough now

#monsterdon

This baseball player kid has it all figured out, I think.

#Monsterdon

Why is the truck adjusting its mirrors to see them? Is the magic comet tail dust supposed to like... put invisible people inside the machines or... What???

#Monsterdon

Never seen such threatening lawn sprinklers

#monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

"You ever see that much nothing?"

We're watching this film, aren't we? #Monsterdon

Lady, you say that like you haven't been in the midwest in the morning.

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

#monsterdon every day, chica, every day

#Monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

Oh I see. The movie was made this way because a local Walmart closed and had surplus ketchup in both regular sizes and industrial size. Yep--King had to start somewhere.

#monsterdon

"you sure make love like a hero!"

@europlus Movie magic. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Vroom vroom is the smartest thing anyone's said in this movie.

Gentlemen, be sure to marry a girl that can drive like that!

#Monsterdon

As someone who actually works at a company that makes self-driving car software, I am loving this 😂

#Monsterdon

"Here comes another load of joy!"

That's what HE said... #Monsterdon

naw

he's just an asshole

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

...Does it see through the rear-view mirrors, then? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon even the mirrors?!?

He took so long to get in the car, he might've got left! #monsterdon

#monsterdon man they’re stretching the definition of “load of joy”

So... Is this like actually Green Goblin or...

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Fuel cap was put back on somehow.

"Here comes another load of....... joy" #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

THis truck is doing weird stuff- I should squat behind it. #monsterdon

obligatory heterosexual couple established but they won't survive the movie, if they survive this scene

#monsterdon

I remember this scene vividly for some reason, the kid biking as the sprinklers come on and the music blares

#monsterdon

He looks so haunted, but then again he did grow up with Charlie Sheen. #monsterdon

"Here comes another load of joy!"
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive1986

#monsterdon Maybe you could just wait out all of the electric and gas powered vehicles while they slowly run out of juice?

Basically, this movie is preparation for when Robotaxis and other self-driving cars become common #Monsterdon

The sentient machines have nothing to do with the comet. The comet was just a notable concurrent event. #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Electromechanical???? #monsterdon

"Zeke's Trash & Garbage Removal" naturally invites the question: what's the difference between "trash" and "garbage?" #Monsterdon

Maybe Zeke can clean up the soundtrack

#monsterdon

Maximum Bingo for #monsterdon

@Infoseepage You don't know how annoyed I was when Hasbro made Transformers Marvel crossover toys and DIDN'T make a Green Goblin truck.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#monsterdon AIN'T THIS A DOG SHIT.

Also clutchwork like that truck trying to get Curtis would absolutely have stalled out.

#monsterdon

Of COURSE there’s a “women can’t drive haha” joke in here 🤦‍♀️ #Monsterdon

#monsterdon “so the cars are drivable, they’re just sort of moody?” — kid

"pretty creepy mister

hendershaw"

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@hollie they may just be biding their time :|c

#monsterdon

"another load of joy!" 😼

#monsterdon

Zeke's trash truck here to pick up the rest of the cast. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

LISTEN TO LISA SIMPSON, SHE'S ALWAYS RIGHT!

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe ugh, no wonder he was a sex pest. Gross. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

"know what gets to me?

it's the stupidity"

Clowns make him sad. #monsterdon

Curtis' wife and the hitchhiker are the only smart people so far #monsterdon

#monsterdon their wedding colours are the American flag? — kid

"Here comes another load" would have been funnier

#MaximumOverdrive_1986 #monsterdon

@hollie Autobots versus decepticons.
#monsterdon

If any of you ever doubt my commitment to #Monsterdon, I had to switch quality and then Plex server to get this movie to work at all.

DISEL?

#Monsterdon

good driving, lady. #monsterdon

Why doesn't their car turn on them? #Monsterdon

Damn, Lisa Simpson is a helluva driver. #Monsterdon

There we go, more ACDC, thanks man

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#Monsterdon Here we go...

Aaaaand then their car runs them both over. #Monsterdon

Archive why are you not letting me speed up the movie this week? Is it you or did Firefox go wonky on me.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@paco She's aspirational, okay?

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

YES! They got the "can I watch you go pee" guy.

...

DARN IT, NO THEY DIDN'T! Try harder truck!

#Monsterdon

@lytta Oh, I was stuck in commercials #monsterdon

@lytta good point

brb adding a subroutine into the self-driving car software that I work on 😛 (j/k of course)

#Monsterdon

More ACDC please

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Curtis isn't dead, he was just resting

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I don’t think this is a good time for a snack …

#monsterdon can this lady say anything other than asking if this or that is dead?

@Zerofactorial i mean the blonde couple... who are now kissing on the lips so that HOPEFULLY answers that

#monsterdon

"Are you dead?"

Yes honey, I'm dead. #Monsterdon

Goddammit Mater, y'missed.

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#Monsterdon 🚚 🤖 📠 🏧 😱

Do you think they filmed that by just having the driver duck below window level so you couldn't see them?

Curtis. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Good: destroying the sign with the stars and bars.
Bad: child murder.
Ups and downs, ups and downs.
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon What time is it? It's people killin' time, says the clock.

This is actually a prequel to Pixar's Cars #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

Is classic scream on the bingo card? That’s a winner. #Monsterdon

Why did that truck's starter motor sound like a small air drill?

#Monsterdon

Well this movie gets an extra star grade for killing kids on film. Shame about the rating for the rest of the movie.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

I see dead people.

They just aren't dead yet.

#Monsterdon

In case you're wondering, yes. Lisa Simpson is this irritating through the whole movie.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Oh, this is like that scene from Cars, isn’t it? Isn’t it? #Monsterdon

Is the driver (of the car) Tracy U?

#MaximumOverdrive_1986 #monsterdon

@diazona maybe if one of them shows a grudge against a specific person?

#monsterdon

Tow Mater origin story here

#Monsterdon

That waitress back out serving with a bandage over the severe cut she got from the electric knife is just capitalism, isn't it?

#monsterdon

@lytta I thought he just picked up a hitchhiker #monsterdon

folks this is a tough one #monsterdon

That clock harbors deep hatred towards humanity. #Monsterdon

Now he's attacked by the credit card reader! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

"Are you dead???"
Well Steven King had to start somewheres.
"Why yes--yes I am dead." ...said nobody ever.

#monsterdon

Sees corpse? "Huh."

Sees malfunctioning clock? "Great God!!"

Even the clock turned sinister?!

#monsterdon

Well that was nice of her to save him... #monsterdon I wouldn't have.

that ain't no earth clock

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive
