    How great is Gremlins 2 by the way? I think about that movie all the time. The surreal randomness of it feels both nostalgic in a classic Looney Tunes way but also hyper modern like something that would need 20 years of internet jokes to exist

Finally, I watched Gremlins—a movie I somehow missed until now, even though it left fingerprints all over my life. See, when this came out, I wasn’t allowed to watch it. My mom had a strict no-horror policy. But I found the next best thing in the school library: the novelization. I devoured it in one night. So I knew Gremlins through words, not images. And I loved every page.…

    Gremlins 2 is still a 10/10 movie because there will never be another film like it. It is insane that this exist. It is the Aliens of comedies, Joe Dante just came in here and said "I'm going to make this sequel bigger and a completely different style" and it worked when on paper it sounds crazy.

    Gremlins 2: The New Batch came out 36 years ago. The NES game took some liberties, but the ending is great. One of the only movie-based games of the era to have such detailed scenes. I'll talk more about it in my upcoming review of @vgmuseum.bsky.social's "NES Endings Compendium - Vol. 2: 1990".

Zach Galligan, who played Billy Peltzer in the two Gremlins films revealed, > They’ve come up with a script. Warner Bros. is incredibly interested in doing it. Apparently, it’s waiting on Mr. Spielberg to read it and improve it, but, you can thank the success of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

    Not interested in a Gremlins 3 with Columbus but no Dante. I know Columbus wrote the first one and did a great job, but his other stuff is far too saccharine for me, and Gremlins 2, made by Dante without Columbus, is the superior film.

    Gremlins 2 was the best one! ~~Steven Spielberg~~ Joe Dante and Chris Columbus didn't want to make a sequel, but pressure from the studio to profit off the popularity of the first one forced them into making a sequel. So they decided to have fun with it. And it got wild! And super silly. They even parodied the first film several times. Like the movie critic who tore apart the first film as an awful piece of garbage... until some gremlins attacked him and he changed his review. Or when Kate…
