He gets delusional and writes sci fi premises. #Monsterdon

grenades at a gas station 👍

#monsterdon

Seeing tons of trucks in line would be a lot bleaker if there wasn't a time limit

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Chamberlain? Nazis? Was ist das?

#monsterdon

@klu9 #monsterdon

you know what it's like. You're in high school, and you dig metal and everybody sneers at you. But deep inside, you know you ROCK.

You’re in a diner. With lots of sugar.

I’m just saying that with a little planning you could have won this war.

#Monsterdon

The gun truck shoulda been a Toyota Hilux!

#monsterdon

more AC/DC lmfao

#Monsterdon

Had that little clippy thing that holds the gas spout handle in not been invented yet?

#Monsterdon

I'm lost

I'm so lost

...I think I need a Chick Tract

#monsterdon

this does actually sound like Morse though, I wonder if it's proper

#Monsterdon

@catzilla oh no, Pet Sematary meets Trucks

#monsterdon

I'm recycling old gags because there's just nothing here

#monsterdon

so if all the guns are susceptible to the evil, they should probably get rid of their guns or at least aim them all outside right #monsterdon

The kid grew up to be Marilyn Manson

#monsterdon

The body count in this thing is enjoyable....

#Monsterdon

@JoeWynne They agreed if he promised never to do that again

#monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

@JoeWynne I am not sure King singing anything would get me to do his film.

A paycheque though...

#monsterdon

FINALLY the capitalist pig bites it! God, that took way too long. #Monsterdon

The good news is that the machines can’t reload themselves.

I think.

#Monsterdon

@JoeWynne Do you know what the snacks were? #monsterdon

"Is my dad ok?"

ooff, who wants that job?

#Monsterdon

"wish i could do that every day, what a blast" and that thing is crawling through a tunnel of piss!!!!! this guy is relentless!!!! #monsterdon

So all the machines have been pretty invested in murdering humans, seeking murder and going after humans to murder

Is there any reason these trucks haven’t destroyed the gas station? Is it an ancient sacred machine burial ground?

#monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie lol, same

#Monsterdon

People don't know this, but Stephen King's making a classical reference: in Ancient Greece, "Curtis" (ΚΥΡΤΙΣ) was the personification of regretting your choice of spouse

#Monsterdon

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

#monsterdon

Oh, gee, the comet? Ya think?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK

#Monsterdon

♫ Who made who? ♫

#Monsterdon

Really not a lot to work with here

#monsterdon

I had a history professor in college who ended every class by saying "Tits up America" #monsterdon

MD drivers are bad, but we all know PA drivers are the worst

#monsterdon

For real stupidity, you gotta go to WV

#monsterdon

@JoeWynne Yeah. That was a great 'burn' back in the day. #monsterdon

Kid, tell me you are not going to try and Solid Snake this thing. #Monsterdon

Spot on. A razor is a slashing weapon, not a stabber. She must be from Virginia, just passing through NC

#monsterdon

She said the title

#monsterdon

Just don't talk to people when they're having as shit, ffs....

#Monsterdon

Tubi wants me to buy a Lincoln. And get killed by it.

#monsterdon

How do we know toilets aren't effected?

Those fancy Japanese ones would be...

#Monsterdon

So how does all this fit into that Dark Tower nonsense?

...explain it to me while I slowly turn up the volume on "Whole Lotta Rosie"

#monsterdon

I saw what you did there, dropping the title into your dialogue, lady. It doesn't make things any better. #monsterdon

Titular line!

#Monsterdon

I gotta hand it to Yeardley Smith for being the only one not reacting to all of this like it's a minor inconvenience. #monsterdon

Narrator: That’s the name of the show

#monsterdon

Is that a LAW?

Edit: HAHA IT IS AN M72 LAW

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M72_LAW

#Monsterdon

I like a lady who keeps a knife in her boot...

#Monsterdon

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK

#Monsterdon

She raises a very good question. Why do they need to get into this particular truck stop? Just to play the video games??

#Monsterdon

"MILHOUSE, WHY DIDNT I RUN OFF WITH NELSON....YOU'RE USELESS!"

#Monsterdon

Some trucks are driving around. Rivetting.

#monsterdon

damn girl if you scream every line, how is your voice going to hold out for 35 years and counting of performing the same character

#monsterdon

The subtitles just said "Cum?"

#Monsterdon

This quiet drum-and-bassline with the twangy guitar coming in is SO John Carpenter, I love it. Really effective.

#Monsterdon

"Let's have a scene that is all about fonts" - Stephen King, probably

#Monsterdon

@jsit This film isn't handling the suspense, or comedy, near as well as Tremors. #monsterdon

hahaha, those diesel fumes in 1986 are why everything is fucked in 2025, hahaha....

#Monsterdon

@healyn #monsterdon

but... but... you'll never find out who made who!?!!!

He ran over *the Bible!* The disrespect! #Monsterdon

I guess we know which cars are non-evil by the evil ones attacking them?

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#monsterdon So much raspberry sauce! WOW!

Evil capitalism! #monsterdon

@moira "It's American, you can't expect us to WALK places?!"

Therefore Cars are not effected

#Monsterdon

I kinda want the Ice Cream Truck to have a good heart and help our heroes, like Frankenstein's monster in Monster Squad

#monsterdon

I cannot fucking believe Stephen King had the gall to criticize Kubrick's direction of The Shining #monsterdon

After about the 5th dead body… you should start peddling your bike a *bit* faster.

#monsterdon

This is what's gonna happen if we keep picking on AI

Or if we keep using it

#monsterdon

MICROWAVE RELAYS MENTIONED

#Monsterdon

Emilio and Smith are the only actors in this who went on to bigger and better

#monsterdon

"Maybe I'll grow on ya"

Pretty good flirty dialogue tbh.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

this premise is so silly but so admirable in form. I've not read the story this is adapted from, but… well, they didn't call him the King of Horror for no reason

#Monsterdon

You would think a writer would be able to come up with better exclamations and terms of endearment.

#monsterdon

It’s Yeardley Smith, the voice of Lisa Simpson!

#Monsterdon

A satisfying death, who are we to judge Goblin Truck?

#Monsterdon

Back in the 80s, we ate a lot of shorts

#monsterdon

EAT MY SHORTS. (This will be relevant soon)

#Monsterdon

Vending Machine uses Fastball.

It's super effective!

#Monsterdon

would not have pegged stephen king as a slapstick head #monsterdon

This is why Health and Safety in the workplace MATTERS

#Monsterdon

Okay, killing it with a hammer is funny

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Electric knife driven by Klaus the forklift driver?

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

holy shit

#Monsterdon

Millions watch, fascinated. #Monsterdon

That pump guy was very smart #monsterdon

Those trucks look familiar. Did I see this on some other B-movie night and then ruin my memory through my years of wild hedonism?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon i said not in my eye!!

You know what movie also came out in 1986? Transformers: The Movie. Maximum Overdrive is actually about Optimus Prime.

#monsterdon

15 gallons for $9?

#monsterdon

oh shitski, what happened ot him

Remember when people used to say Shitski? I do!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon tabletop ms pac-man alert

Emilio, hurry up with my western omelette!

#monsterdon

That car was just too brown for this Earth

#Monsterdon

I can already smell the cocaine #monsterdon

Popcorn snack acquired. Ready for Stephen King to scare the hell out of me

#Monsterdon

I hope these guys in the AC/DC van make it to the end of the movie.

#Monsterdon

This is actually a Final Destination film and this is all about to be revealed to be a flashback.

#monsterdon

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

#monsterdon
