Best evidence is Phoebe Cate's poke at the super-serious "my dad died in a chimney and we didn't know he was there until we smelled his rotting corpse" monologue from Gremlins. I also love that Clamp is the personification of a Ted Turner/Donald Trump teleportation mishap. And the "science" of the movie is of the 50s mad scientist monster movie variety. I think I could write a book about Gremlins 2. Or at least a thesis paper ... or better yet ... a love letter. Yet, there is no getting around that it's a bad movie.Will Nepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02432357184751214364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-82996201996873676012010-04-06T09:50:12.963-04:002010-04-06T09:50:12.963-04:00Oh boo everyone misunderstood.

Maybe it's because I was in high school when the original "Gremlins" came out, and then just two years out of graduating college with a major in Animation when the sequel finally arrived. So the original was still very fresh to me (it was one of my favorites) and I definitely a Looney Tunes-crazed mindset. I also knew that Dante was on record as saying that he hated sequels so much that his goal was to send-up sequels to the Nth degree. I think he succeeded here. Rewatched it on Netflix Instant View a few weeks ago and still enjoyed it. Of course, it helps me tremendously to have John Astin, Christopher Lee and Dick Miller all in the same movie, but most of all John Glover and Robert Prosky deliver the goods and then some - their characters are fantastic. And... "welcome to the men's room!"

I love G2 and that is mostly due to the very Warner Brothers/Looney Tunes aspect of the sequel. It's just so off the wall and ridiculous, and I think it was the perfect way to go since replicating the first film seriously would more than likely really suck. Great write up and those fingernails look the grossest when covered in boogers.Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-28134678331975764972010-03-28T13:06:37.103-04:002010-03-28T13:06:37.103-04:00Gremlins 2 is only bad in the awesomelyest bad way...Gremlins 2 is only bad in the awesomelyest bad ways possible, and Dante entirely understood the film and how to make it a success.

I think what makes this Gremlins 2 pot stand out is that she wasn't making anything that required such a large pot. But giant props for making a Sleepaway Camp reference (My favorite good bad movie of all time!)<br /><br />Dod- Hmmm would you say your love/ hate relationship was similar to the way one can love/hate a Gremlin in his fuzzy stage? Minus Gizmo of course because you always love him!<br /><br />A Nightmare- Haha nooooo I love Gremlins 2 I'm just pointing out that it's a bad movie as far as all that technical movie jargon is concerned. It's just funny how this was pretty much my favorite movie for 5 years of my life and going back and watching it, is classssssic. I'll always hold a spot in my heart for it of course.Andre Dumashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170879111034420803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-52483721649875838592010-03-28T05:25:51.979-04:002010-03-28T05:25:51.979-04:00Even though I personally disagree about your thoug...Even though I personally disagree about your thoughts on 'Gremlins 2' (I love it!), your review was as entertaining and nutty as always.
