Third 3G Poster unveiled! Nostalgia abounds!
Hey folks I just got an email from the folks at the 3G Art Show and they have released the third poster for the event running September 3-22 in Los Angeles, CA.
For those who missed the last post on the show, the Autumn Society & Gallery is putting on an art gallery featuring art that was inspired by three iconic 80’s movies. Specifically, Ghostbusters, Gremlins and Goonies.
All three of these films captured the imagination of audiences, young and old alike and still have a strong presence in Pop Culture to this day. Of course the thing that caught my eye was the Gremlins portion, however I have a soft spot in my hollowed-out shell of a heart that is reserved for Ghostbusters and Goonies. Growing up in the 80’s as Hulk Hogan reminded me to Say My Prayers and Eat My Vitamins, Gremlins and Ghostbusters for the most part were the two films that enamored me more than anything. They were movies that took the subject matter seriously, and played it straight while having humor intertwined with frightening or creepy scenes. Goonies was never as huge of an influence on me personally, but it did have a special slot on my VHS shelf dedicated to that childhood dream of perilous adventure.

Filmbalaya Reviews Gremlins (1984)
While browsing various blogs, I came across this post from about a week ago, and it is always nice to see people reviewing one of our favorite movies!
Filmbalaya recently decided to review Gremlins (1984) since Christmas is less than 6 months away and there is always time to enjoy some Gremlins and the Christmas cheer they bring.
A very brief but entertaining read, also check out their other very enjoyable movie reviews for some more of your favorite most loved and maybe even hated films.
Snippet:
Here is a film to teach us a very important lesson in reading instructions. Before playing with your new Christmas toy, gadget, appliance, or in this case a Gizmo, one must not only pay close attention to the instructions, but follow them with meticulous care.
The Ultra-Meta Gremlins 2 Novelization
Found recently online, this is a great snipped of the Gremlins 2 Novelization and a breakdown of the “film break” scene that occurs within the book.

Ok so maybe it is more of a “Hostage scenario” than a film break, but hey whichever works!
Thanks to the readers that sent this in!
Chud.com’s Movie Of The Day is Gremlins 2: The New Batch
http://www.chud.com/articles/articles/23521/1/MOVIE-OF-THE-DAY-GREMLINS-2—THE-NEW-BATCH/Page1.html
A nice addition to the Movie Of The Day series, even though there are a couple minor mistakes in the article. Primarily I refer to the mention of “Obviously dead” characters returning. While it was implied that the Futtermans (brilliantly played by Jackie Joseph and Dick Miller) were in a “freak accident” involving a snowplow, they were not killed.
Granted in the original script and up until the test screenings, reports have said that they were indeed killed, and even mentioned by Lew Landers, but were removed at the reaction from the screening audiences. The Futtermans were very likable characters and having them be absolutely killed is a bit dark even for Gremlins.
{Rumor Mill} WHOIS behind Gremlins3.com and Gremlins3.co.uk?
The last couple weeks have been somewhat exciting regarding the possibility of Gremlins 3 becoming closer to reality due to some internet rumors.
A new piece of the puzzle has been flooding my inbox thanks to you readers regarding Warner Brothers parking a Gremlins 3 domain.
It seems that the previously unowned domains Gremlins3.com and Gremlins3.co.uk have been registered recently, and here is what we know:
