@LGS There are lot of things here that aren't as good as the ACDC. #monsterdon

@jivens #monsterdon

there are several Kraftwerk songs that woulda fit in too.

Choosing to walk in front of the truck is ... a choice, yes

#Monsterdon

ACTION FUEL DISPENSATION

#Monsterdon

How often in Monsterdon do they bargain with the Monster?

#Monsterdon

So between here and wherever they're going the trucks have a line of gas stations with enslaved trucks top jockeys? #Monsterdon

I BINGOed a while back and forgot to post about it.

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

@jonny I have a feeling it might have something to do with powered weapons.

#Monsterdon

I was wrong. The machines can coerce the humans to reload them.

#Monsterdon

"Aw. Sheeeit"

#Monsterdon

Oh great, R2D2. #Monsterdon

Come to Dixie Boy Truck Stop in North Carolina in next 24 minutes if you want an ass whoopin’

#monsterdon

Wait, where did the machine gun come from??? I am so confused

I mean more confused than I’ve been for the past hour or so #Monsterdon

I could've picked up a shift tonight, but nooooo. I'm watching NC rednecks get killed by AC/DC

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe #monsterdon

ikr even the poorest country in the world can afford a truck to put their machine gun on.

Killdozer!

#monsterdon

you know, a road twitch

#Monsterdon

Whaaat, you mean the capitalist pig has no TACT??? Who'd have thunk it? #Monsterdon

🚚 TRIVIA OVERDRIVE 🚚💥

Steven King got basically anything he wanted for the film. He really wanted Bruce Springstein for the lead roll. Unfortunately Dino De Laurentiis did not know who Bruce was, so he forced King to use Estevez.

#MaximumOverdrive

AC/Dc might be the perfect choice for this movie. Vaguely macho, but mostly stupid

#monsterdon

HELLO SWEET BABY RAT ACTOR

GOOD JOB YOU DESERVE MANY YOGIES

#Monsterdon

Stephen King: where you side with a sexual harasser Bible salesman that appears to have contributed absolutely nothing to the improvement of the species over a bunch of killer trucks.

#Monsterdon

“For those about to rock, we salute you!”

#Monsterdon #ACDC

Ok I'm sure of it. Green Goblin trailer truck is definitely the leader of the rebellion. I think. Probably. Maybe.

#Monsterdon

This film doesn't get made w/out Emilio. Everyone else is expendable. #monsterdon

Oh heck, I still don't know what the rules are. Maybe the trailer trucks can talk now.

#Monsterdon

Is Milhouse fingering Lisa under the table as Truckers look on?

Is this the depravity Jordan Peterson seeks?

#Monsterdon

"I never did like trucks anyway"

#Monsterdon

"Maybe there's some sort of isolated haven our heroes could escape to."

King: what about an island called Haven

(AC/DC and cocaine intensifies)

#monsterdon

@jonny @Taweret amongst others #ToiletScene #Monsterdon

What does "make love like a hero" mean? In dactylic hexameter? #Monsterdon

Man, Billy, it’s hard enough to take a shit when someone else is in the room with you. Why do you have to poke your head over the stall door?

#Monsterdon

Hey MAN. Yeah BUDDY.

#Monsterdon

...Flight of the Valkyries. Okay. Very serious directorial vision there, mister King. #Monsterdon

Straight razor's not a good weapon if you want to keep your fingers

#monsterdon

He's fine, it's a head wound. Literally his least essential part. #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe My ancient iPad? I fear it might be too old and slow to do anything much effectively. The tower fan a couple feet further however shudders

#Monsterdon

"Where are they going, Curtis?"

Why the ancient Lost Trucker Burial Grounds, of course! #Monsterdon

Is that a FROG on the hood?

#Monsterdon

"So what are we gonna do now?"

"I don't know."

...cool to see the writing process in real time

#monsterdon

Everybody's named Bubba

⏲️ 30-minute poll 🚚🚚🚚

Steven King convinced AC/DC to do the soundtrack by doing which of the following?

#MaximumOverdrive

#Monsterdon

WHAT THE FUCK

KING OF THE ROAD?!

HOW HAVE I NEVER NOTICED THAT BEFORE #IceCreamTruck

It's a Bible with a centerfold!

#Monsterdon

@xerozohar it's a pleasure to share my first watch with #Monsterdon, including the people who knows this one already!

wow, the dog was brutal. all of this is brutal.

#Monsterdon

Why electric knives but not radio stations?

#Monsterdon

...did a guy get killed by a porch swing?

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Long-distance TV is still a pretty big deal at this point. Hell, long-distance phone calls are.

Anyway, suburban horror.

#Monsterdon

The Wraith with Emilio's brother came out this same year and with about the same budget($10 million). The Wraith has held up a bit better I think. #monsterdon

This movie could be called Rise of the Machines #monsterdon

This man dresses like a sex tourist....

#Monsterdon

you're a BASEBALL team kids! Get the bat out and knock those cans back!

#monsterdon

So, machines and electronics are alive?

#monsterdon

I don't remember the last time I was at a gas station with 'full service'. I also don't remember when gas was $2 amd some a gallon. #monsterdon

10 minutes without a single character or event! #monsterdon

Stephen King.
Writer. Director. Asshole.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

C'mon,. this is some quality car crash action here, the watermelons are a lovely touch!

#Monsterdon

we are only 5 minutes into the movie and already deeply into "what" territory #monsterdon

"Written for the screen and directed by STEPHEN KING"

Whoops, "Stephen", not "Steven". My bad.

#monsterdon

Was that the Wilhelm Scream?

#Monsterdon

🤘 *headbangs*

#Monsterdon

There’s our Stephen King cameo!

#Monsterdon

Steven King put himself in the _second shot_ of the first scene?! HAH

#monsterdon

We can't stop here! This is ATM country!

#Monsterdon

1st national bank of Wilmington, the bank that hates you back.

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

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Root post for MAXIMUM OVERDRiVE #monsterdon

Is this stupid, stupid movie conceivably a headcanon universe setup for Pixar's Cars?

#monsterdon

@jonny @ryan holy hell you went to fucken town here

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@jonny @lytta @forestine @ryan yea I bet, this is so incredibly jonny-coded

#Monsterdon

Producer 1: And it can all be because of aliens!

Producer 2: No, no! Because of the Russians!

Stephen King: I think I can work with both of those things.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@SnoopJ @forestine @ryan pixel sorted overdrive with a hallucinatory soundtrack is about a million times better than regular overdrive #monsterdon

@klu9 @ryan #monsterdon

if King had seen that video now playing on miru.miyaku.media, he wouldn't a needed drugs.

@aburka Well, wallop my watermelons. I reckon you're right!

#monsterdon
@ricci

@feliks So is the lesson here that we should support the proliferation of nuclear weapons in space? #Monsterdon

That sucked. I can't tell if it was good suck or bad suck, but it definitely sucked

#monsterdon

Not a good movie, but it was surprisingly fun. Also, thanks for your commentary everyone.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

«a Russian "weather satellite," which happened to be equipped with a laser cannon and class IV nuclear missiles.»

woof, well, they can't all be winners can they stevey boy lmao

#Monsterdon

Anyway, very glad that movie was exactly as fun as I thought it was going to be, even if 95% of it is that AC/DC could soundtrack paint drying and it would instantly be exciting.

#Monsterdon

wait technically that counts as a fucking off into the sea. thanks all for another great #monsterdon and to @Taweret as always for hosting!

cocaine *must* have been involved in the deal that led to the soundtrack being like 50% AC/DC

maybe done over coke, even

#Monsterdon

UFO in the end card has real Poochie energy #Monsterdon

I'm gonna whoops my cookies

*rock music plays

#Monsterdon

As usual, it's the Soviets who have to prevent absolute disaster.

#Monsterdon

Why do the protagonists have _magnesium tracer rounds_ that they can shoot from small arms!?

#monsterdon

Hang on. Your enemies are machines and vehicles that can, apparently, control electricity.

Exactly what percentage of a whit does it matter whether it's light out or not?

#Monsterdon

Feel sad Goblin Truck is dead

#Monsterdon

"This is for my dad you loudmouth son of a bitch" is the same thing I said to the clerk at the pool supply store who razzed me for buying a giant inflatable watermelon pool toy. #monsterdon

HUMANS HERE #monsterdon

lol, snitch burger point!

"HUMANS HERE!"

#Monsterdon

I guess the oxygen tank is for torches for the mechanic?

I should have expected an explosion.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon now all they have to do is survive another what 5 or 6 days?

Hey, the Black guy came back

#monsterdon

"Don't drop me now! I'm delicate now!"

Normal human words like normal humans normally say.

#Monsterdon

............I hate everyone in this movie

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe @Taweret #monsterdon

They use hearing aids, obviously.

lol okay, that was pretty slick of Gordon Bombay there

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🚚 🤖 📠 🏧 😱

Honestly Emilio Estevez has not been pumping gas longer than anyone else has so why is he falling apart like that?

#monsterdon I don't want to be insensitive, but why is he so exhausted and blistered? The machines are just forcing him to do his regular job that he normally does.
