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.

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

No problem? Use your head, boy, you're gonna fuck yourself to dehydration in less than forty-eight hours!

Okay so there's no cars on the island. Are there walkmans? Lawnmowers? Electric knives?

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.

...Why do the trucks need headlights?

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

The FLASHLIGHT isn't sentient and homicidal?

You guys didn't rehearse these lines, did you? ^^;;

Oh thank god, he's dead. Whew, I was worried there for a minute.

"We went out to save a filthy Christian evangelical and came back with a clean-cut American kid. You're welcome, honey."

Do none of you people understand the concept of a SHOULDER-FIRED rocket?

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

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!

KILLDOZER! Wow, this is an all-star mechanical cast!

Is that a... Rail hand cart with a machine gun on it?

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

"You killed my boss!"

You're welcome.

...Honey, that thing's empty.

Okay apparently it's not. For some reason?

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

ASK NOT FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS

IT TOLLS FOR DIXIE

Truck, or angry cat at feeding time?

He gets delusional and writes sci fi premises.

I still don't understand how the guns aren't sentient at this stage.

...JESUS is coming? Or, like, Truck Jesus?

Actually given the donkey thing, I think Truck Jesus would probably be a Ford Focus with a bad muffler.

...Was your dad killed by a hamburger speaker?

Ignominious end to the best monster they had, quite frankly. The ice cream truck was way more menacing than the green goblin truck.

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.

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!

"Btw Russian nukes saved the day"

BY FAR the least believable thing TO EVER HAPPEN OFF CAMERA

"Any similarity to actual events... would be really sad"

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.

...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."

But yeah, I didn't think Maximum Overdrive was as bad as its made out to be. It's not a GOOD movie, but it sure as hell ain't Invasion of the Star Creatures.

I'd put MO in the same category as Night of the Comet and Clash of the Titans -- Good Bad Movies. The category of which Tremors is king. :D

@CactuarJoe Shit Keeps Happening. That's the key. As long as shit keeps happening, you can deal.

@moira Shit Keeps Happening, but so do I

Bumpersticker, stat! :p
