Christine
Directed by John Carpenter
Nerdy high schooler Arnie Cunningham falls for Christine, a rusty 1958 Plymouth Fury, and becomes obsessed with restoring the classic automobile to her former glory. As the car changes, so does Arnie, whose newfound confidence turns to arrogance behind the wheel of his exotic beauty. Arnie's girlfriend Leigh and best friend Dennis reach out to him, only to be met by a Fury like no other. From TMDB

positive · AI labelView post →So, you can kind of see where Herbie from The Love Bug (1968) and Christine from the film Christine (1983), is a transfem allegory with sentient cars- Everyone at my Super Bowl party:😐
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching this movie Christine that asks “what if a car was evil and made its owner go crazy” and I’m out here all “buddy, I’ve already been to a public meeting on whether to build a bike lane”
neutral · AI labelView post →The John Carpenter movie Christine is on HBO Max. The print looks like it was scrubbed against a cheese shredder. But it's properly letterboxed, and there are no ads. Hallelujah.
neutral · AI labelView post →Thinking again about how much I love John Carpenter's CHRISTINE, an easy top 3 entry in his filmography. What a weirdly prescient and insightful film about homosociality, masculinity, and the paradoxical violent power and extreme fragility of the self. www.patreon.com/posts/68801401
positive · AI labelView post →Christine is such a sad movie. You get a cool car that unlocks your true power as a rockabilly and rather than be happy for you, everyone is terrified of what you’ve become.
neutral · AI labelView post →Call me a cynic, but I’m not sure that Rodney Dangerfield actually performed the Triple Lindy high dive in that one movie with the kid from Christine.

His films were "Christine" (1983), A Soldier's Story" (1984), "Die Hard 2" (1990), "National Lampoon's Class Reunion" (1982), "School Daze" (1988). So long, Art. #RIP

neutral · AI labelView post →Fun fact: Christine Baranski, the actress who is the living personification of upper class WASP sophistication, is from Buffalo, the child of poor Polish Catholic immigrants. She's laughed at how everyone thinks she is her characters.

In a new animated short film (narrated by @vancityreynolds.bsky.social), the depth of feeling is clear. Sinclair didn't figure it out until the end, but she played for her mom. www.thestar.com/sports/socce...

We showed each other our favorite hacker movies, to see if we could convince each other our fave was better. I showed her "Sneakers". She thought it was okay. She showed me "Hackers". I thought it was amazing. Basically, she won

It won’t be on PBS until 2026, so I recommend the virtual screener being offered this weekend via the BlackStar Film Festival. Here's a quick piece I wrote for WRTI, based on conversation with director Christine Turner.

neutral · AI labelView post →John Carpenter once said he didn't find the book Christine frightening, and that he only did the movie to save his career after The Thing bombed. I wonder if people would have called for him to be put into "directors jail" or "shoved into a locker" if social media existed in 1983. 🤔

neutral · AI labelView post →Wish there were more film actors like Roberts Blossom, who plays Mr. Lebay in Christine and was the whistler on the mountaintop in Close Encounters and the old prisoner in Escape from Alcatraz. He looks like the subject of a Dorothea Lange photo of Okies in the Depression.
neutral · AI labelView post →Yes, that is the poster to the 1965 Indian film, TARZAN AND KING KONG. Yes, it's an action/adventure film starring Tarzan, a lust-filled gorilla, Indian wresters, and much more. Yes, the female wrestler is Christine Keeler. Yes, the Christine Keeler of the Profumo Affair.

"Choy tracks down three exiled dissidents from the Tiananmen Square massacre for closure on a film she began shooting in 1989." #FilmSky
neutral · AI labelView post →I'd have to say 1983's 'Christine' is my favorite movie about a coupe.
positive · AI labelView post →no one really has "how'd they do that?!" moments at the movies anymore, everything's digital but man, watching Christine (1983) the other night, the "self-repair" sequence had me googling mid-movie wtf
positive · AI labelView post →In the original 1983 movie Christine, Christine was a late 57 built 1958 Plymouth Fury. If Christine were re-made today, she'd have been built in the middle of 1999. Like my Fairmont Ghia Which hates me and has been nothing but trouble And I still technically own. I hear synths...

neutral · AI labelView post →Average film critic metascores on IMDB: • The Fog: 55/100 • The Thing: 57/100 • Christine: 57/100 • Big Trouble: 53/100 That’s insane — but the sad fact is, film critics have always thought of John Carpenter as ‘blah’, and his films have mostly flopped at the box office. God I hate the mainstream.
