I love this exploring series. I met Christine at a convention. She's the one that you mentioned was built from scrap parts I think. She's owned by Bill Gibson. He's restored the car using various parts from cars used in the film. Plus, now she talks like Kit from Knightrider lol. I have her tire autograph. Surprisingly, a nice girl but I wouldn't want to piss her off.

Hmm, E.T. is still a great movie and as far as I know loved by all. Dunno, maybe it was the critics. Horror movies didn't get much respect those days but Carpenter made them smart. I've read some of the critique on these movies and if you read that now you know they're full of shit. I'm baffeled by how much weight these people have when they talk about the "Sexual message" or "Misogyny" in for instance Halloween, feminists making idiotic statements and Carpenter just going "Ehm, I just wanted to make a great thriller". I almost feel sorry for the guy. Just look up your favourite movie from around that era on Wikipedia, see the "critical reception" and 9 times out of 10 you'll laugh your ass off. I myself think Halloween is an absolute masterpiece, the Thing almost as great, Christine just a great freaking movie and some of these critics retracted their words years later and like sheep they're going "Wauw, it's such a great movie" now as well. Halloween did great at the box office though, the Thing was ahead of it's time so maybe it was just too heavy. And Christine too tame. Whatever, Celine Dion got great reviews and sold millions of records once so maybe it all doesn't mean shit. We know the deal.

This is one of the underrated King films mostly due to the film coming at the same time as the novel. Carpenter actually did a good job to put this together and got the majority of its story right with a decent cast. For the time of its making, the effects were pretty exciting (you couldn’t tell how it was pulled together with cables). Even cutting a majority of the material wasn’t a bad move as the novel is crazy dense; they got most of the important elements right

Partially E.T., but also it was criticized by critics to death for being just a gore fest. And also people didn't like The Thing was just a remake from The Thing From Another World (1951). Ironically The Thing ended up being the perfect example of how to do a remake. But also that year, it was competing with not only E.T. but a bunch of other good movies that summer. For a movie that takes place in the snow, it made more sense to release it during the winter and deal with less competition.

Fun fact: George A. Romero was originally set to attach to direct Christine, especially since King was his best friend, whom he also worked with on Creepshow, and King had the novel that took place at the Monroeville Mall (the same mall used in Romero's film Dawn of the Dead). Carpenter was originally set to direct Firestarter, but something happened at Columbia Pictures, and Romero was removed from the project and Carpenter moved in to replace Romero. This fact came from George A. Romero himself from a chat I participated in back in 1998 at TalkCity, a chat room held by Universal Studios, and I had asked him about the novel Christine and if the car had been named after his wife. Unfortunately, the only transcript that exists of the chat is at Homepage of the Dead, and they removed a bulk of the questions to focus solely on his Living Dead films, including two other questions I had asked him, one of them being about the Resident Evil film he was involved with at the time (this was 1998, shortly before he was completely removed from the project), and about the most difficult scene he ever directed (he stated it was the drowning scene with Ted Danson from "Creepshow," explaining that despite the fact that Danson was actually safe during the shots where we see the water rolling into the beach, Romero was afraid of him actually drowning).

@kevinpeterson1398 6 жыл бұрын

And, like I also mentioned, the questions I asked were also cut from the transcript. Whether you believe me or not, it's completely up to you. And if you choose not to, I'll understand and I won't try to convince you due to the fact that any proof of the info coming from Romero's mouth himself doesn't exist anymore: www.homepageofthedead.com/baps/romero_chat2.html

I found the movie later as an adult and was absolutely stunned out how good it still was and how effective the characters are portrayed. I still empathize with nerdy Arnie and my heart breaks seeing them vandalize Christine to the extent they do, only to feel the paranoid that Arnie's friends do after he has changed for the worse.

This is one of my favorite movies. I also loved Maximum Overdrive and Duel. The Car was OK also.

One of my favorite little pieces of trivia about this movie: Christine Belford, who plays Arnie's mom, once lived in the house at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, NY. Yes, *that* house.

I am not necessarily into horror, Stepen King or John Carpenter... but Christine is one of my favorite movies. The cast is amazing as is the music and direction. I LOVE Dennis's Charger. I rented it on VHS lol Great video thanks!

I'm glad Kevin Bacon didn't get the lead. Maybe as the best friend character, but he's not nerdy enough for the lead.

My absolute favorite piece of trivia concerning this movie: Christine Belford, who plays Arnie's mom Regina, once lived in the house at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, NY. And yes, I'm talking about _that_ house in _that_ Amityville.

Oh how time changes, The Thing is now regarded as a classic, I'd even say masterpiece, and it's my favorite horror movie.

I've been a fan for a good while and I must say I really enjoy your work and review styles. It's all very engrossing and informative, also changed my opinion on a few films.

"Instant junk"- yeah. Y'know, one thing your videos absolutely excell at is making me desperate to go back in time and put my fist through the skull of all these critics and studios who hampered the success of iconic talents with their horrifically poor judgement and trash opinions.

Great review! I realize now I've never seen this movie. I've read all of Stephen King's stuff, he's by far my favorite author. Time to check this out! Thank you! Great take, as always. Your videos are always so well-researched.
