    I made a witty one. A Christine group member's Facebook post in Christine group.

     

    Christine turned on the all dark windows so that Moochie Welch can’t see.

    Me in the comments section:"Technically it's to hide the stunt driver when it drives by itself. 😂 There's just a tiny uncovered hole for him to see out of to see where he's going. That's why the '58 has what is called "Evil Mode" the tint is so us viewers cannot see there is actually a driver in there. Plus adding to the mystery of is it Arnie Cunningham using his car to kill or the car itself doing it without a driver."

    I think something like 30 people have died so far in Tennessee. NES ( Nashville Electric Service) was  not able to keep up with the damage to the lines and a lot of people lost power. Some haven't had any power or heat for right at 2 weeks! The governor is even stepping into it! NES is in some deep...  Rhubarb Pie! 

    Wow! 😮

    Abraham Lincoln Hogg (While riding in the General Lee with Luke & Daisy Duke on a bumpy road. Hitting his head on the car's roof.):"I'd rather go over Niagara Falls in a barrel than take another ride on this road!" 😂 

    Luke:"That's Boss for you. The only good roads in the county are the ones that lead to his properties." 😂 

    Abraham Lincoln Hogg:"That's my brother!" 😂 

    Titanic(1997)

    A Facebook post.

     

    A dramatic illustration showing the heart-stopping moments as the Titanic split in two in the silent night ocean. ⛴️💔

     

    Fun Fact: > Although often depicted as breaking apart in films, the truth that the Titanic broke into two pieces was only scientifically proven in 1985 after its wreckage was found on the seabed.

     

    (Photo of the ship breaking. Bow underwater separating from the stern.)

     

    My comment:

     

    It did break up. But it's always depicted as sinking whole in movies pre 1997 James Cameron. Because by '97 we knew for a fact that she broke up, and Cameron portrayed it that way. Movies pre '97 like A Night to Remember (1958) based on the Walter Lord book of the same name were filmed before the wreck was discovered. Nobody knew it broke up in spite of eyewitness who saw it break and said that it did. They were not believed. When the wreck was discovered by Dr. Robert Ballard on 9/1/85, history would change forever what we thought we knew about the Titanic.

    I wish I could have one of the Skipper hats that Alan Hale (Skipper) signed when he autographed them and sold or gave them away at his Alan Hale's Lobster Barrel restaurant. He autographed the brims with "Alan Hale Skipper."

    There were yellow wind and rain warnings in place here for most of the day, but where I live, we got away lightly. It was just a wet, miserable day with a few heavy showers. A couple of places in Co. Wexford got badly flooded when the river burst its banks.

    Uh oh about the flooding. That's not good. 😨

    Some of you may have noticed HazzardNet was down for a few hours today. The database wouldn't come up. Fixed it though. I bet Enos unplugged something important to plug in the coffeemaker. He didn't even leave me any donuts from the Busy Bee. :angry:

    Dipstick Enos. 😂 

    Transforming books to movies when you read

    Mind-blowing reading experience alert! 🤯 When I read Gordon Korman's Titanic Book series, I don't just imagine the characters - I see and hear the James Cameron movie cast! 😍 Bernard Hill as Captain Smith, Jonny Phillips as Lightoller, Kathy Bates as Molly Brown... it's like the movie's playing in my head! 🎬

     

    This happens with other books too! Stephen King's Christine = John Carpenter's cast (Keith Gordon as Arnie, John Stockwell as Dennis...), and James McLendon's Eddie Macon's Run = Jeff Kanew's crew (John Schneider as Eddie, Kirk Douglas as Marzack...). I even hear the movie soundtracks! 😂 When Christine kills Moochie, I hear "Little Bitty Pretty One" 🤘.

     

    Has anyone else got a book-to-movie brain like mine? 😄 #readingcommunity #booklovers #moviemagic

    Christine(1983)Book/Movie fans... What Arnie Cunningham knew that nobody else knew was the car was haphazardly restoring itself. That explains the hopscotch of old and new parts. The half grille etc.
