Yeah, they had to bring the green goblin back just to blow it up, I guess. Kinda lame, it wasn't even the main villain. The platform truck got more kills. #Monsterdon
...killed by a power window? I think that was a fear of mine as a kid
Ah yes, before CGI they actually crashed trucks into real diners! #monsterdon
nice landing
I'm trying to think of jokes Andy Daly didn't already do, and do better, but I also have to wonder why that bulldozer hates that car so damn much
That was definitely a one take only explosion. #monsterdon
It's fun watching machines destroy stuff, it's not Art but it's fun.
Actually given the donkey thing, I think Truck Jesus would probably be a Ford Focus with a bad muffler. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Vehicle on vehicle crime..
that ice cream truck blowing up and flipping over was a GREAT shot
Oh Dixie Boy,
The Trucks
The Trucks
are calling
i just remembered that movie that was a single sentient killer tire (Rubber, 2010). We should watch that next #Monsterdon
Turning Humanity's machines against us so we're easier to colonise is a pretty smart plan tbh.
Smarter still would be leaving us alone and fixing up Mars, not because we Humans are courageous but because hopefully Earth would pull a War Of The Worlds on the Invaders
Pretty sure that station would've run out of gas by now
Ok, look. I've worked a long, crap shift and been dead tired, in pain, etc etc. I mean I get it.
It didn't like... What the heck is even wrong with him? It's like he's wounded and dying or something.
Didn't there used to be a person of color in this?
hey @cheribaker does gas count as a macguffin here? because if it does...
more honking than Untitled Goose Game
I wish Megaweapon was in this movie too. Or Trull the Inhuman!
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive
[angry truck noises]
How dare they edge me the entire movie and then off both Bubba AND Wanda like that. I -needed- that waitress!Rambo rampage.
#Monsterdon
Good thing the kid just happens to know Morse code
Cars can't even pump their own gas? They must have filmed this in New Jersey #Monsterdon
#monsterdon This could literally be Isntreal talking about Palestine. SMH. π₯Ί
Wait, Trevor Hoffman's coming into this movie?
Wait wait wait. I have a plan!
Put gasoline in the diesel vehicles and diesel in the gasoline vehicles! It's so obv-
Ok, just pump correctly for them all day instead.
They've got an arsenal in the basement. They could've blown up all these trucks by now
[truck growls]
The machine gun thing is just cheating in my opinion #monsterdon
Is she.... high on diesel fumes???
@SordidAmok lol, such a cruel fate....
...Honey, that thing's empty. #Monsterdon
"You're like a junkie trying to run down your connection"
"Emilio, you say the sweetest things!"
In retrospect, not aiming the rocket launcher at the machine gun may have been a poor opening gambit
Evil proto-Mars Rover #monsterdon
I like how that man slept with his burger, for comfort perhaps...
Ah Bulldozer, tool of the Coloniser....
Ok ok. I'm catching on to something. Ok.
Diesel engine vehicles rebel. That's one rule. Gasoline engine vehicles do not. That's another. By which it means any diesel engine vehicle apparently.
Wait, no, the lawnmower was part of the rebellion too. Uhm... So two-cycle engines also joined the rebellion.
WHAT ARE THE RULES???
Bad news: I can't fall asleep.
Good news: I am awake for Maximum Overdrive with #monsterdon
So far, I would summarize this movie as "WTF execution of a WTF idea"
who else up coping with their grief by blowing bubbles
That's the best slap you've got, girl? Put some English on it! Get a windup for chrissakes, you're slapping the least likeable man in a KING plot! #Monsterdon
I have always wanted to fire one of those things, it's a guilty wish I know but they solve so many problems in Games...
@cargot_robbie Oh yes! The toilet paper explosion alone qualifies.
[truck screams]
There's no problem that more 'splosions can't solve, I suppose
Did he just shoot the liquid oxygen truck?
#monsterdon 40 minutes in, maybe this is why I kept conflating this one with "Duel", very similar style of semi involved in terrorizing a sedan:
Curtis, master of smalltalk
why isn't the flashlight trying to kill em?
idk man uhhh just put some AC/DC over all this #monsterdon
AC/DC really was the perfect pick for this soundtrack though.
Who made who? We made you.
HOOONK HONK HOOOOOOOONK
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive
this is the most old white guy sound track of all time
he's something of a scientist himself, you know.
Going on record now: If anything like this ever happens I am not going to attempt a sex offender rescue.
βDonβt make me a widow on my wedding day, Curtis!β
Sheβs currently my favorite person in the movie, wardrobe and all #Monsterdon
If you're a little bothered by the way women are treated in this, you might want to avoid literally everything King wrote
I cannot get over the presence of the M72 LAW in this movie
is this kid trying to get IN to shawshank??? i don't understand his plan. #monsterdon
Ah ha ha ha ha ha I got one of those "account suspension" spam posts aimed at me just now. Reported and blocked!
they have so many unnamed men to work through, they've gotta try and rescue him #monsterdon
Trucks go round. More AC/DC.
Wait no everyone. I've seen this in horror movies. It's always the bad guy faking a voice to lure them out!
...
wait...
What is it with Stephen King and culverts?
Why don't the trucks just knock over the shitty building? #monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive
Evil lightbulbs, shouting obscenities in ultraviolet, not aware the frosted coating on their glass prevents anyone from seeing their rage.
i gotta start screaming "WE MADE YOU" when computers act up
@arisummerland @diazona cigarettes, diesel and sweat
THE WINCHES ON YOUR SAILBOATS WILL BE SENTIENT TOO FOR FUCKS SAKE.
@diazona it does feel filthy, and sticky....
Surely these trucks would eventually run out of gas?
@Lazarou to be fair I'm pretty sure everything in this movie is filthy
No problem? Use your head, boy, you're gonna fuck yourself to dehydration in less than forty-eight hours! #Monsterdon
that mattress is filthy...
I believe we've been here for 12 hours
The kid goes off road, on a bike, he's smart.....all the adults running off in their cars and getting slaughtered....the Old World is dying....
eeeeeeeuck #Monsterdon
AAAAND with "palm tree" I GOT MEGA CARD #BINGO!!!!
Okay Lisa Simpson's terrified rambling is kinda funny.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive
At least they are holed up with a prepper dude
The machines really are hurling everything they've got at this kid...
King wrote the screenplay, based on his own short story. #monsterdon
#monsterdon Not the Wilhelm, sadly.
Evil Plane #monsterdon
he missed a great chance to say: "If I put my arm around you, would YOU go into maximum overdrive?"
NAME OF THE MOVIE!
lol, of course he has a rocket launcher, it's in the Constitution!
OSHA regulation rocket launcher
NGL. Lisa Simpson swearing is kinda hot.
Lmao at the trucks honking triumphantly
When I was little for some reason my 'crap-o-meter' for movies always rang pretty quick for films in the 85-90 min range. For some reason if it was over 100 I thought it meant it would be better. #monsterdon
Uh oh, the honeymoon's over #Monsterdon
Ooo, that truck stop's got video games...
All the trucks are driving to some place where they will mate into one giant pile of twisted, sticky steel, forming a giant contraption of evil most foul and oily.
does it turn out you have to kill the Head Truck?
