the soundtrack should have been by the Rock Bottom Remainders

#monsterdon

People just be drivin’ around, wearing headbands and tennis shorts for no damn reason other than ‘86 and coke.

#Monsterdon

I can just imagine Chris Boden saying "Wanna see something cool" to that bridge lift mechanism.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon - AC/DC got their proper logo and everything!

#monsterdon AC/DC, a machine's favorite band!

I gotta get switches like that installed somewhere in my office!

#Monsterdon

Written and directed by both Stephen King and cocaine!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Dear my friends and followers, I am switching from complaining about too many 8th century Pepins to complaining about a silly movie with the rest of the #Monsterdon crew

Duck and run for cover, or mute the tag, or whatever. You’ve been warned

i don't think that lady was wearing a seatbelt

#monsterdon

Never understood AC/DC. It sounds like nothing, but less pleasant.

#monsterdon

Ewww, nose picker....

#Monsterdon

@RamenCatholic @arisummerland or, the whole movie is an AC/DC music video

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Why did that machine just call Joe Hill an asshole? 😉

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@lytta #TeamMonster

#Monsterdon

@RamenCatholic @arisummerland Yep!

#Monsterdon

Cursing at each other while playing cards! It's fun to remember society before cell phones.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Shame about the sweet ac/dc van though #monsterdon

I've seen this one before but only as a basic cable edit.

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#monsterdon Uhoh looks like they’ve got a situation

"Music by AC/DC" The real stars of the picture. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@arisummerland IIRC, the whole soundtrack is an AC/DC album. #Monsterdon

Hertz? This movie? Yes, it does!

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

AC/DC setting the mood #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

Did someone just pick their nose? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Yay! Stephen King Cameo, right up front... hahahahah

"Do you know how to play this game?"

Too busy excavating the canal there >_>; #Monsterdon

#monsterdon ngl I'm here for the AC/DC

Whoops a bit late checking in for #monsterdon but that's ok, I have an ad-free version for a change.

Dino De Laurentius, a sign of a quality fillum.

John Cleese hasn't aged well #monsterdon

@BestGirlGrace You were recommended by #Monsterdon

@Violinknitter Stephen King, apparently

#Monsterdon

I guess this was back when NC had a bit of a film industry until bad politics caused everyone to stay away #Monsterdon

The AC/DC version of Aretha Franklin's Who's Zoomin' Who

#Monsterdon

I've been to Wilmington once in my life and I mainly remember it for its proximity to crab-infested beaches. #monsterdon

To be fair, we are assholes to machines.

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

If this video was posted on Youtube, given how early it uses the word "FUCK" and "ASSHOLE", it'd be demonetized.

#Monsterdon

I feel like if intelligent machines were real, they would call a lot more people assholes.
#Monsterdon

Starring "Pat Hingle" whose login ID on unix systems was probably phingle
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon okay, the movie is bad, but three cheers for the soundtrack.

The machines! They hate us! AND our watermelons!

#Monsterdon

Now I want this to be all about the First Bank of Wilmington coming alive. Who needs all the other machines?

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

this isn't actually the wilmington where all the bank stuff usually happens #monsterdon

Momsterdoooooooon!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Finished up my podcast just in time for #monsterdon and I see we're getting right to business!

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Ok, let's see what this does to my trauma... #monsterdon

#monsterdon Early cameo.

Got your AC, got your DC... Whatever it takes.

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#monsterdon Picky picky picky with the timing that we don't really care about, but ohhtay!

Normally, I try to be ethical, but I kinda want to hack an ATM now...

#Monsterdon

Ha, opening cameo! #Monsterdon

Hey, I live in Wilmington! Do they mean the one in NC or DE? #monsterdon

two minutes and twenty seconds into this film, and it has already been worth getting out of bed for. #monsterdon

Check it out: We’ve got game studies & human/machine configurations (“The video games say ‘Play Me’”); Panoptic tech surveillance (“The databank know my number”); Carcereal tech (“Kick you 'round the world”); techno-determinism and the digital embrace (“there ain't a thing that it can't do”); Digital Divide (“Running out of chips, you got no line in an 8-bit town”); and of course sociotechnical coproduction (“Who made who?”) #monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive 2/2

Extraordinarily diffuse, I guess!!

Also who the heck uses the word “diffuse” in an intro script? #Monsterdon

Time to shift into HIGH GEAR for tonight's #Monsterdon

Follow the hashtag to see what happens when Stephen King cranks everything up to eleven

Or filter it if you can't keep up...I would totally understand :blobtonguewink:

I mean, aren't you an asshole?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon He's thunderstruck!

Oh great, so the comet crop dusted us and we're all gonna die because of its fart. #Monsterdon

Stephen King cameo right away #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

Simply can't have the '80s without AC/DC

#Monsterdon

Pablo picasso was never called an asshole

Not in Wilmington

Not like you

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

THERE HE IS

#Monsterdon

Ok, so this theme song is one of the main reasons I’ve made this my first #monsterdon. To me, “Who Made Who” is not just AC/DC’s last great song (fr Brian Johnson starts sounding like Donald Duck not long after this) but also a Science and Technology Studies thesis for guitar, vocals, drum & bass. #MaximumOverdrive 1/2

Steve, get off camera. #Monsterdon

And there's our auteur! #Monsterdon

we picked the wildest possible setting for our movie - Wilmington

#Monsterdon

ayyyy its Dick Miller at the ATM!

#monsterdon

Hi Stephen! #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#monsterdon Hands a roll of TP to Studio Canal, your canal is fucking foul...

Omgs AC/DC!!!
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive1986

#Monsterdon On this day, a comet farted on the earth.

oh not the 1st Bank of Wilmington!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Sounds like it's raining on Earth #monsterdon

30 seconds in and I'm already blown away by the sound quality

A reminder of the caliber of movies we normally watch

#Monsterdon

Precise times, that's how you know it's science

#Monsterdon

I'm am legally obligated to complain that Rhea-M is not how comets are named

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

honk
#monsterdon

okay movie, don't do anything interesting because i gotta wash my glasses #Monsterdon

Oh hey, Uneeda Medical Supply East. #Monsterdon

°F as in fuck YOU

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#Monsterdon time!

Have to watch it on Youtube, Tubi says not available.

That's a very precise amount of time #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

THAT IS HIM!!!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive1986

#Monsterdon 🚚 🤖 📠 🏧 😱

ruh roh if it says it in yellow impact font it has to be trueeeee

If a comet flew by, and made things sentient, I wonder if it could do that to humans, too.

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#Monsterdon now begins. We're watching Maximum Overdrive. It looks so, so bad. Just really, really bad.

But if you feel like being in pain:

https://tubitv.com/movies/100010458/maximum-overdrive

eight days, five hours, twenty-nine minutes, and twenty-three seconds .... approximately

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

YOU
ARE
AN
ASSHOLE

Come on over here, sugar buns!

#monsterdon

rogue comets, you hate to see it

#monsterdon

Alright, we already have better sound design than other movies we've watched.

#Monsterdon

Diiiino de Laurentiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

who ya gonna call?

MAX! HEADROOM!

wait no

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Estimation by Data, thanks a bunch. No miliseconds? #Monsterdon

FUCK
YOU

#monsterdon

It came from outer space... no, wait we're panning down

#monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

iirc Stephen King's cameo is one of the better parts of the movie 😕 #monsterdon

And, time to start Maximum Overdrive on #Monsterdon

Here we go! (Will the Overdrive truly be Maximum?)

Okay , everyone can relax, the Owlbear has arrived! Time for a coke-fueld 80s movie, which is a pretty redundant statement if you think about it.

#Monsterdon

FUCK YOU

#monsterdon
