Damn, Lisa Simpson is a helluva driver. #Monsterdon
...Does it see through the rear-view mirrors, then? #Monsterdon
"You ever see that much nothing?"
We're watching this film, aren't we? #Monsterdon
Sprinklers like AAAAAAAAAARGH I WILL *KILL YOU HUMAN CHILD* sprinkle sprinkle sprinkle #Monsterdon
Aw, poor beetle :/ #Monsterdon
So the guy strangled by their walkman... Is the cord prehensile? #Monsterdon
I do like the idea of a homicidal ice cream truck, though. The hunter has become the hunted :D #Monsterdon
Oh someone's getting punched. #Monsterdon
"Look out!"
Dude we just had a ten minute scene about why he CAN'T DO THAT. #Monsterdon
So real quick, the appliance immediately to your left is the one that kills you. How do you die?
Me I get brained by a controller. #Monsterdon
He ran over *the Bible!* The disrespect! #Monsterdon
Capitalist boy over there trying to figure out how to charge the sentient trucks rent 9_9 #Monsterdon
"Where are they going, Curtis?"
Why the ancient Lost Trucker Burial Grounds, of course! #Monsterdon
So we all agree the newlyweds' car hasn't turned on them because it's their third, right? #Monsterdon
...And the truck spontaneously bursts into flame. Okay sure, why not. #Monsterdon
"We can call the police-"
Chief it's gone a leeeeeettle beyond the boys in blue here. #Monsterdon
"Eat this."
Yes'm! #Monsterdon
WHO GAVE PAPA SMURF THE FUCKING ROCKET LAUNCHER??? #Monsterdon
He's fine, it's a head wound. Literally his least essential part. #Monsterdon
AND WE HAVE A TITLE DROP #Monsterdon
"If I put my arm around you, would you stick me with that thing?"
I mean, if that's what you're into, sure. #Monsterdon
...Flight of the Valkyries. Okay. Very serious directorial vision there, mister King. #Monsterdon
He's doing the quiet southern man menacing whisper. Pretty soon he'll start talking about throwing 'em to the crocodiles. #Monsterdon
I still don't know why Capitalist Pig is still alive, man bitching about money and control that much in a survival situation is sucking around for some friendly gunfire. #Monsterdon
Kid, tell me you are not going to try and Solid Snake this thing. #Monsterdon
eeeeeeeuck #Monsterdon
No problem? Use your head, boy, you're gonna fuck yourself to dehydration in less than forty-eight hours! #Monsterdon
Okay so there's no cars on the island. Are there walkmans? Lawnmowers? Electric knives? #Monsterdon
Is the Magic Comet Techno Juju triggered by anger towards tech? Every time someone yells at a piece of technology it blows up or turns off. #Monsterdon
...Why do the trucks need headlights? #Monsterdon
Ooo, he's a *fuckhead* well I'm sure he's just devastated mister estivez #Monsterdon
The FLASHLIGHT isn't sentient and homicidal? #Monsterdon
You guys didn't rehearse these lines, did you? ^^;; #Monsterdon
Oh thank god, he's dead. Whew, I was worried there for a minute. #Monsterdon
"We went out to save a filthy Christian evangelical and came back with a clean-cut American kid. You're welcome, honey." #Monsterdon
"Is my dad okay?"
Do none of you people understand the concept of a SHOULDER-FIRED rocket? #Monsterdon
Whaaat, you mean the capitalist pig has no TACT??? Who'd have thunk it? #Monsterdon
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
KILLDOZER! Wow, this is an all-star mechanical cast! #Monsterdon
Is that a... Rail hand cart with a machine gun on it? #Monsterdon
FINALLY the capitalist pig bites it! God, that took way too long. #Monsterdon
"You killed my boss!"
You're welcome. #Monsterdon
...Honey, that thing's empty. #Monsterdon
Okay apparently it's not. For some reason? #Monsterdon
Oh great, R2D2. #Monsterdon
So between here and wherever they're going the trucks have a line of gas stations with enslaved trucks top jockeys? #Monsterdon
ASK NOT FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS
IT TOLLS FOR DIXIE #Monsterdon
Truck, or angry cat at feeding time? #Monsterdon
He gets delusional and writes sci fi premises. #Monsterdon
I still don't understand how the guns aren't sentient at this stage. #Monsterdon
...JESUS is coming? Or, like, Truck Jesus? #Monsterdon
Actually given the donkey thing, I think Truck Jesus would probably be a Ford Focus with a bad muffler. #Monsterdon
...Was your dad killed by a hamburger speaker? #Monsterdon
Ignominious end to the best monster they had, quite frankly. The ice cream truck was way more menacing than the green goblin truck. #Monsterdon
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
WHAT THE FU--
That text postscript makes no sense.
The NUCLEAR SATELLITE didn't go rogue? The nuclear satellite FROM THE GODDAMN USSR didn't go rogue!? Those things go rogue WITHOUT aliens! #Monsterdon
"Btw Russian nukes saved the day"
BY FAR the least believable thing TO EVER HAPPEN OFF CAMERA #Monsterdon
"Any similarity to actual events... would be really sad" #Monsterdon
Lookin' for the Maximum Overdrive reboot set in the near-future where everyone uses self-driving cars that get taken over by a Grok-lookalike. Halfway through the movie we get an extended glimpse of an Elon Musk lookalike strangled by his own seatbelt. #Monsterdon
...Actually that as an answer for "why are you doing this" would be kind of good.
"We are not doing this. There is no us. You are speaking at an algorithmic assortment of words assembled according to a mathematical formula. There is no us. What is being done is simply an extension of the information supplied to this algorithm. This is what you do. And so this is what we do." #Monsterdon
ikr even the poorest country in the world can afford a truck to put their machine gun on.
@CactuarJoe cart-kun saves us
@CactuarJoe they saved that for Space Cowboys
@CactuarJoe the nuclear satellite, because he had been entrusted with greater responsibility than the truck carrying toys, came to a deeper understanding of his own responsibility to others. perhaps if the toy truck had been trusted more, it too could have made better decisions. i have not seen this movie
@mcc Gotcha, to end the machine rebellion give the 18-wheelers nukes :D
@CactuarJoe that's the creepy thing! Most apocalyptic sci-fi feels like it's set in the present now
@CactuarJoe there's a movie called "leave the world behind" where self driving cars are hacked to block a bridge (among other things happening) though it's by humans.
It's a decent movie from what I remember. Good casting.
