Real-Time Expert Film Commentary: MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE
August 7, 2008
Taken from The Twitter:
Against all better judgment, I am watching Maximum Overdrive, the Stephen King movie about cars that kill people. Wish me luck.
Haha, the atm called Stephen King an asshole.
“Music by AC/DC” because when I think ‘cars that kill people’, I think AC/DC.
Pictured above: Algebra.
Cool, that truck has the green goblin on it. I didn’t know Willem Defoe was in this. 03:05 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
That black guy said ‘yo mamma’ to the pinball machine. Now, that’s just gonna piss it off. 03:07 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
THE COKE MACHINE SHOT A POP AT THE GUY’S NUTS! Brilliant. And then it killed him and started attacking some kids. 03:13 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
Some kid got run over and crushed! That’s horrible! 03:14 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
BRUTAL!! Knowing Stephen King, I bet it was a real child. His parents allowed him to be killed on screen because they read the script and realized that his life would be a small sacrifice in order to get this incredible film made.
It’s whatsherface who plays Lisa Simpson! Damn is she weird looking. 03:22 AM August 01, 2008 fromtwitterrific
Yeardly Smith, in her most gripping non-Simpsons performance since “The Legend of Billie Jean”.
ICE CREAM TRUCK, RUN FOR YOUR FUCKING LIFE! 03:29 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
Who screams for ice cream? YOU SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!! 03:29 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
“You wanna rock n roll with me puss-bag??” Great insult. Insult to a truck. 03:34 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
The truck just ran over a bible. Damn atheist trucks, trying to destroy the heartland with their San Francisco liberal values. 03:36 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
It’s a whole bunch of trucks. It’s like if all the gay truckers got together at one rest stop bathroom to play with each other’s wieners. 03:39 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
That truck fell off a hill but blew up before it even hit the ground. Lisa Simpson must have pyrokinesis. 03:43 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
WHY DOES THE FAT OLD GUY WHO RUNS THE DINER HAVE A ROCKET LAUNCHER?? 03:46 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
And why don’t the trucks just ram into the diner. These trucks are dumbasses. 03:47 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
Aww. Emilio Estevez is a tender southern gentleman. 03:48 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
The hitchhiker girl fucked Emilio Estevez. What a slut. 03:54 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
Pausing briefly to do something else. Mark my place. 04:02 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
This is what I was doing……Don’t you fucking judge me.
Aaaaand, we’re back. The drunk waitress went crazy. 05:06 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
Still forty minutes left in this movie… 05:08 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
The kid tried to climb into a pipe earlier but he couldn’t get the grate off. He tried now and it comes right off. What the fuck? 05:11 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK, WE SALUTE YOU! What appropriate music. I hope Emilio Estevez is about to rock. If so, I salute him. *salutes* 05:14 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
Emilio Estevez, clearly about to rock. I, for one, salute him.
Quandary: How do the trucks see and hear people? Is it magic? I bet it’s magic. Or science. There’s no difference, really. 05:18 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
A bulldozer just smashed it’s way in. But the trucks didn’t. Apparently bulldozers are smarter than trucks. 05:25 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
And then some army truck shot a bunch of people because they were too stupid to fucking duck. 05:26 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
They sent them a message in morse code honks. Because they can communicate too. Was this based on a true story? It’s just so realistic. 05:28 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
They’re refueling the trucks because the trucks told them to. With “Hell’s Bells” playing in the background. This movie is incredible. 05:32 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
Emilio thinks it’s aliens. 05:38 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
They conveniently decide to smash up the place just as everyone is escaping. And boy are they a-smashin’. 05:42 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
You would think they could’ve done that earlier…
The diner done blowed up. The diner done blowed up real good. 05:44 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
OH FUCK NO ITS THE ICE CREAM TRUCK! … Oh, they killed it. That was easy. 05:45 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
They blew the green goblin to shit and then they escaped on a boat, all whilst rocking out to the sweet ruckus of AC/DC. Good for them. 05:49 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
EPILOGUE: a Russian satellite blew up a UFO and they got away from the comet or whatever, so everything’s fine now. 05:51 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
And “The survivors of the Dixie Boy are still survivors.” Thank god, cuz I was worried about that. 05:56 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
I give it twelve “She shook me all night long”s out of ten. 05:58 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
I subtracted five points for NOT MAKING ANY FUCKING SENSE, but add seven for it’s rocking soundtrack and it’s rocking Emilio Estevez. 05:59 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
FOR THOSE ABOUT TO TRUCK, WE SALUTE YOU!!! 06:04 AM August 01, 2008 from twitterrific
- Sean, shaking it all night long.

That baseball scene was the awesomist thing ever. And I can’t believe Stephen King thought not one but two books/movies about killer automobiles was a good idea. Then again, I’ve read Cujo so what do I know?
Also, I’m pretty sure that asian girl is ourchair in drag, so I guess that means you’re the cat? ARE YOU A FUCKING CAT!?
OMG U FIGURED ME OUT!!
