George LeBay:"The money's not important. And there will be no bringing her back here! I'm sellin' this sh** hole an' buyin' me a condo."

Do y'all have favorite scenes from the movie?

[Skipper Duke]

Happy Belated 62nd Birthday to Keith Gordon(Arnie Cunningham) 2/3/61!

[Skipper Duke]

In the scene at Darnell's Garage, when Detective Junkins says "We found yer boss Will Darnell dead in yer front seat with a shotgun by his side." When Arnie asks "Why?" It's very subtle. I interpret it as he was asking Christine why she killed Darnell, and not asking Junkins why he was found dead.

[Skipper Duke]

And when he said "All I know is-" and looked over and back at Junkins, it's like Christine was telling Arnie to shut up.

[Skipper Duke]

The million dollar question, if Arnie would a come clean about the killings, would she have killed him too then?

[Skipper Duke]

Arnie Cunningham:"All in all, it wasn't a bad first day. Do you think Repperton will try to get even?" Dennis Guilder:"No. He's a douchebag. He'll find somebody else to pick on." Arnie Cunningham:"They kicked him out, you know." Dennis Guilder:"Good! What about Moochie?" Arnie Cunningham:"Probation." Dennis Guilder:"Those a**holes!"

[Skipper Duke]

I wonder who Dennis was calling "Those a**holes." The school or Moochie Welch and Buddy Repperton. Could be interpreted either way there. "Those a**holes" could mean Welch and Repperton. Could also mean the school for just kicking Repperton out and not Welch out too.

[Skipper Duke]

Christine Book and Movie fans... Will Darnell didn't deserve to be killed. I mean after all he did give Arnie and her a place to stay. Well her a place to stay while Arnie fixed her up. I feel bad for Will. But he discovered her secret that she drives by herself without a driver. When she came back to the garage to Stall 20 smoking and burned up. In order to protect Arnie and keep that secret, Will had to be eliminated.

[Skipper Duke]

In the book, it's mostly Roland D. LeBay's corpse when the car goes out on its own. I like to pretend that in the movie it's Roland's corpse doing the killings.

[Skipper Duke]

Buddy Repperton:"Hey Trelawny, isn't that C***ingham's car?" Richard Trelawny:"Yep." Moochie Welch:"I know where he keeps it."

[Skipper Duke]

Dennis Guilder don't like it. He tells the brother George LeBay in the book in a scene "The car, that Fury. I don't like it."

[Skipper Duke]

Leigh Cabot:"I hate that car! You care more about that car than you do about me!" Arnie Cunningham:"That's crazy Leigh!" Leigh Cabot:"Who do you spend more time with?"

[Skipper Duke]

Mr. Casey: [after being told that 

 

Buddy Repperton has a switchblade] "Empty your pockets, Buddy."

Buddy Repperton:"F*** I will. You can't make me."

 

Mr. Casey:"If you mean I don't have the authority, you're wrong. If you mean I can't turn out your pockets myself..."

 

Buddy Repperton: [interrupting him] "Yeah, try it, you little bald f*** and I'll knock you through the wall! F***!

 

Mr. Casey: [turns to Buddy's friends] "You two boys go up to the office. Stay there. Don't go anywhere else. You got enough trouble without that."

Christine fans... If any of you here are on Facebook I'll be posting a chapter each night until all 51 are up. I'm on Facebook as Robert Skipper Broadhurst. You can find my Christine Chapter posts in the Facebook Christine group forum pages and my personal profile page.

[Skipper Duke]

Last night was Prologue and Chapter 1 First Views. Tonight will be Chapter 2 The First Argument.

[Skipper Duke]

Someone in a Christine Facebook group forum page said "Don't say anything negative about the book or the movie in this group. Someone will have a meltdown!" Lol.

[Skipper Duke]

Arnie Cunningham:"Don't you blame your choking on Christine!" Leigh Cabot:"It happened Arnie! When I choked something happened. The radio came on, everything got really bright!"

[Skipper Duke]

Regina Cunningham:"Did you have plans with Dennis? Arnold Cunningham you're gonna find yourself with no friends at all, if you keep treating people this way!" Arnie Cunningham:"Get off my back!"

Regina Cunningham:"You're his best friend. Now what's going on?" Dennis Guilder:"I don't know. I mean, I hardly ever see him anymore." Regina Cunningham:"Neither do we. Ever since he bought that car, he's been obsessed with it! And you know what else? When we signed the registration papers at City Hall, they told us that the man who owned that car last, died in it of carbon monoxide poisoning." Dennis Guilder:"Jesus! Does Arnie know about that?" Regina Cunningham:"Arnie doesn't know anything about anything anymore!"

[Skipper Duke]

George LeBay:"My a** hole brother bought her back in September of '57. That's when you got yer new model year in September. Brand new she was. Had the smell of a brand new car. That's just about the finest smell in the world. Except maybe for p****."

[Skipper Duke]

Christine Trivia: Kevin Bacon was offered the role of Arnie Cunningham. He turned it down to do Foot Loose.

[Skipper Duke]

I think they done role reversal in the movie. In the book, Roland's wife was Veronica and daughter was Rita. In the movie, Rita is the wife. So my guess is the 5 year old daughter got changed to Veronica.
