Great news on an upcoming film sequel!
It turns out that there *may* be a Gremlins 3 – and it could be in 3-D!!!
It’s just a rumor at this point, but still, that’s pretty damn exciting news. Of course, everyone in the world loves the two Gremlins movies… with the notable exception of my sister. Now 28 years old, Sam is STILL traumatized by the Gremlins, the memory of being scared by them as a child still fresh in her brain. The mere mention of the word Gremlns, or of the words Gizmo, Mogwai, or even Zach Galligan, will result in Sam running out of the room with her hands over her ears. If she sees this post, she may never read my blog again.
Which is all somewhat silly, considering the Gremlins aren’t really scary, as they fall more into the genre of comic mischief than evil monsters. Especially in Gremlins 2: The New Batch. And Gizmo is so cute!
But I for one would love to see another Gremlins movie, and if it’s in 3-D, well that’s even better!
In other new movie developments, Weird Al is reporting that he will be writing and directing a new feature film! He’s apparently got a development deal with Cartoon Network, and a new movie is number one on his list of things to do for them. A few main bullet points from his blog: It won’t be a sequel to UHF, it will be live-action, and Weird Al will not star in it, though he will appear in front of the camera in some capacity. Since everything Weird Al does is genius, this movie is already guaranteed to be hysterical and brilliant. Hopefully by the time it opens, Eli will be old enough to come see it at a midnight showing with me!

You need to know how much you SUCK! You didn’t have to put a picture of an actual Gremlin up, you know. You’re right; I may never read this blog again. And as far as Zach Galligan, his name doesn’t scare me, and neither does Gizmo. I just think that Gizmo is the root of the evil Gremlins and without him, there wouldn’t be much of a problem.
The reason I’m still horrified by Gremlins is the fact that my big brother used to torture me about them. While I recognize as an adult that they do not exist, I was told on a nightly basis for how many years that they lived under my bed and would be eating me as I slept. This could account for my deep-seeded fear, ALAN.
Maybe it’s time to get over my fear. Maybe I should go see the new 3-D version….But if I do, I’m bringing Eli with me.
You have it all wrong, Sam – there really were Gremlins living under your bed, but because I warned you so regularly, they knew they couldn’t ever eat you in your sleep.
No need to thank me, I was just being a good big brother!
Now, now you two….if you don’t stop quibbling, I’m going to turn this car around!!
(In whiny voice): “But Mom, he started it!”
