This crappy music is giving me flashbacks of playing SNES Doom and feeling cool about it

#monsterdon

There's Gobby, where's Spidertank?

#Monsterdon

The machinegun was okay

#monsterdon

Heavy "The Happening" vibes. Like, everyone on set had to know that this is a dumb movie

#monsterdon

So the reason they kept so many actors around in the truck stop was for the machine gun scene #Monsterdon

I've no idea why anybody would mount an M-60 in the middle of a four-wheeled like 6x8 platform, what would be the point

#monsterdon

They needed a military vehicle to do Morse code.

#Monsterdon

this is a good scene lmao

#monsterdon

They should have typed back, in Morse code, "Sorry, we don't speak English"

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Lol, Humans working for Machines, the Capitalist endgame...

#Monsterdon

like this is a sketch comedy premise, not a feature film premise

#monsterdon

Morse code? Uh, what?

Also I think most people decode by writing out the dots/dashes and then working it out, can anyone actually keep up with hearing it fast enough to decode it by ear?

Maybe the ham radio folks I guess? Old school telegraph operators?

#Monsterdon

I am utterly delighted that the machines are talking to them with Morse code #monsterdon

Thank god, the kid is re-writing the script.

#Monsterdon

Miller Beer will deflagrate when hit with a rocket

@Lazarou in a flood of Miller

Once again the Kid proves he is the Survivor and everyone else is baggage

#Monsterdon

A Caterpillar is fine, too.
Step right up, Bubba!
#Monsterdon

Oh geez, it really is.

#Monsterdon

I suddenly remember where I've seen this kid. He's in Fly Away Home.

#monsterdon

Welp, there goes Wanda. Should be less screaming now. #monsterdon

What the... Is it talking in morse code?

#Monsterdon

Sure, NOW they try communication.

#monsterdon

We've gone from bad to morse

#monsterdon

Okay apparently it's not. For some reason? #Monsterdon

Yes lady. Insulting the vehicles is definitely a way to stop their murderous rampage.

#Monsterdon

Pwned

#monsterdon

Don’t tell me that machine gun growled #monsterdon

I've been asking the whole movie why the big rigs haven't just been ramming the building. I never had an answer besides it was too early in the movie for the film's main set-piece to be wrecked. And here we are. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Is it true?! It is true! Prune Juice is a WARRIORS DRINK!!!

Did that rifle just...growl? #Monsterdon

@Louisa i couldn't stop thinking about the smell #monsterdon

#Monsterdon So purely mechanical things like guns and taps can be taken over, but not bicycles?

@nyquildotorg And Joe Hill also does the evil car thing too, with The Wraith in NOS4A2.

#monsterdon

Oh wow. Ok, so we definitely can confirm that cars are not part of the rebellion. Poor car. It never did anything to deserve that. *Sniffs*

Everyone remember that bulldozer's name.

#Monsterdon

Is this a standard military vehicle or did it self-assemble? #monsterdon

Chekov's rocket launcher makes its reappearance #monsterdon

I don’t know why so many of them remained standing after hearing and seeing the gunfire.

#Monsterdon

Funny story: this is the fifth time I've watched this movie. It's hilariously bad, and I kinda love it.

But the remake, which has better acting, direction, and everything else, I can't even finish.

Once you take out all the terrible stuff, it's actually a pretty dull movie 😂

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

uh oh..... it's not a truck, it doesn't have to stop

#monsterdon

Hahahahahaha turret

I love this movie

#monsterdon

This sewer scene is quality #monsterdon

Thou shalt not threaten the kid #monsterdon

lol, we live in world where that thing with the machine gun is real....

#Monsterdon

The real drama tonight is will #Monsterdon survive the Great ACDC Debate of 2025???

Oh, now the construction equipment is going to show up and tear down the building.

#Monsterdon

Emilio Estevez brings the exact same energy to coaching a ragtag bunch of hockey players

#monsterdon

I just asked "why are they safe inside?" and @steggy pointed out that she had already explained: One of the rules is that they obey signs. It says "truck stop" so they do.

#monsterdon

The small cars have rejected the comet's overtures and sided with humanity. They hear the waitress's clarion call of "we made you" and they know it as Gospel. #monsterdon

I'da let Bible guy die, but that's just me

#monsterdon

So... I guess the trucks can't see them because it's too dark?

WHAT ARE THE RULES??????

#Monsterdon

@aintnorulesays old white guys can't enjoy their old white guy rock #monsterdon

I know it doesn't make sense but I think the trucks are mimicking the bible salesman's voice to trick the survivors into coming out of the truck stop

#Monsterdon

@Cherizilla Motörhead would also be acceptable in this circumstance #monsterdon

so... do the trucks have ears?

#Monsterdon so was he.... a zombie? did he have a pacemaker or sth?

"You sir, are without a doubt, one of the biggest fuck heads I've ever met-

There ya' go, folks. The true wit that only cocaine can provide.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Why are the evil Trucks just circling the Truck Stop? Should they not be on the ....

#Monsterdon

Why is that kid in this movie?

#Monsterdon

'By Jesus I'll kill you'
spoken like a true etc etc.

#Monsterdon

Do kids not know about pulses?

#Monsterdon

So many movies would have the people turning on each other because Man is the real monster but this movie is like, no, pretty sure it's the evil murder trucks.

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

"...pull my finger!"

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

This kid's gonna need all the therapy. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

I lost the plot and had to have @steggy explain that they're trying to go rescue bible dude. Are you seriously suggesting no one can cross the parking lot? These trucks are that kind of nimble and fast?
#monsterdon

I just realized I'm not dreaming all of this and I'm a little upset

...the whole world has gone tits-up

#monsterdon

@georgieboy #monsterdon

AC/DC is the perfect pick for ANY soundtrack. "2001: A Space Odyssey" with a soundtrack by AC/DC. Perfect pick.

There's a cat on me

#monsterdon

nope nope nope nope nope

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

The pacing is a total mess. Just like most everything else. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

I am certain "back of a jukebox" is what Leonardo da Vinci had in mind.

#Monsterdon

Don't go down there! It's filled with dozens of EPA Superfund toxicity sensors and they've developed a taste for human blood. #monsterdon

"For Those About to Rock (love theme from Maximum Overdrive)"

#monsterdon

@Lazarou #monsterdon

oh they do. why do you think hard rock is so popular?

@Lazarou This is the song I heard in my head when I got on the shed roof when I was thirteen, yeah #Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai you've just summed up the 80s pretty well.

#Monsterdon

So like the truck coulda plowed right through the truck stop diner and took 'em all out so I guess this means that truck stops are like Sacred Ground for demon rigs or something

Or maybe it just can't happen because the plot of this #Monsterdon would collapse instantly otherwise I dunno

Why is the truck afraid to run into the diner? I think it could take everyone out and still be running fine #monsterdon

Ooo, he's a *fuckhead* well I'm sure he's just devastated mister estivez #Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 #monsterdon

what about a Turing Machine? Does that become sentient too?

#monsterdon all Stephen King boys end up in sewers

@ItsTheManOnTheMoon That's the secret. Nothing in this movie happens story wise.

#Monsterdon

@diazona Princeton? A+ food option for when you're broke and living there (as I did one summer)

#Monsterdon

The kid in the movie has it the worst. He's seen more shit than anyone else, which is kind of on par for King at the time.

#monsterdon

Bingo!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

'there might be a way to get to him and put him out of his misery'

#monsterdon

Nooo let him die please #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

All those trucks blowing their horns and she didn't even have to flash them.

#Monsterdon

On the plus side, all the evil, murderous automobiles might finally break America of it's addiction to car culture.

“Maybe tomorrow it will be our world again”

Don’t. Say. It. Out. Loud. #Monsterdon

oh I knew the bible guy wasn't dead. king's gotta have a religious nut or some equivalent

#monsterdon

I feel like citizens of the Canadian capital understand this movie better than most...

#Monsterdon

bible salesman's a borg now, it's 100% a trap

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Did I miss a part where it explains why the trucks don't just smash through the building? Do the trucks not want to harm the neon signs or something?

#Monsterdon

@Taweret corncobs in the outfield are a sign of a team hitting home runs or something

#monsterdon

can I just take Yeardley Smith home with me? She can sass my ass any day of the week.

#monsterdon

@steggy They run on cocaine #monsterdon
