I love how the 'Final Destination' movies taught an entire generation to not follow lumber trucks.
Even more I love that they're leaning into this hard.
The image shows a truck on a highway, loaded with large logs. The truck's back is prominently displaying a movie advertisement for "Final Destination: Bloodlines," with the text "ONLY IN THEATERS MAY 16" and a blue sign that reads "HOW IS MY DRIVING?" The truck is on a road with a bridge in the background, and there are trees and a grassy hillside visible. A tweet from Jeremy Allison Art ([@]jallison_art) is overlaid on the image, stating "was blessed to see this on the 405 today." The truck is driving on a sunny day, and the overall scene is bright and clear.
