It is funny how few independently murderous vehicle movies there are. A very specific sub genre. Christine…The Car… Killdozer…

I think all evil cars should be called Christines and we should have Christine movies like we have vampire movies. Oh no, a Christine!

Honey, I’ve told you to stop doomscrolling your timeline! Just work off the notifications, where the nice people hang out.

I’ve been working at my college for almost a year now so I guess I have a second chance. It’s weird being back but I am planning on finally getting that MFA I passed up in the 1990s.

Yeah but I OD’d on Harlan Ellison instead.
