Rambling Stuffs, Fan Submissions and Win Gremlins on DVD!

Hey folks, hope everyone had a safe and fun Christmas or whatever you may celebrate, free of being given vicious little monsters for presents.

I have been running around like a Gremlin with its head cut off between work and taking care of things around the house, a

nd just got knocked out of duty by a killer cold. While I am sure you are not interested in my health status and hyperbolically imminent demise, just thought you might like to know why I haven’t updated in a month.

However, Friend Of Gremlins Online, The Black Nerd, Andre Meadows, once again comes to the rescue and saves me from

actually having to post content, and instead show off his awesome videos! This time he is giving away 4 copies of Gremlins on DVD!

Just watch the video to find out how to win! It seems pretty easy, and I would love someone from Gremlins Online to win…I mean come on, you guys are the most awesome gremlins fans out there so you should naturally get free DVDs and stuff for simply existing. Plus we are all keeping the hope alive for a Gremlins 3 in the future so that right there is more than enough qualification to win DVDs and books and lotteries and everything else neat out there.

Apparently the cold meds are kicking in and I am obviously rambling on and on, just maybe making a little less sense than I usually do, so I should probably end this post.  So of course, I won’t.  (More info plus stuff about “fan submissions” after the jump)

Website Updates and housecleaning…virtually and literally.

Heyas all!

As many of you have noticed by now, some things have been shifting around in the last few weeks here at Gremlins Online, and I just wanted to give you a heads up and a chance to voice your ideas on how we can together make Gremlins Online evenmore awesome.

First off the biggest changes are in the comments. We have been getting assaulted with a ridiculous amount of spam lately, and a few have been slipping through the cracks. To solve this and make sure this site doesn’t turn into a cesspool of annoying spammers barely even speaking engrish, here is what is changing:

  • All commenters must be registered on wordpress.com to comment. 
    For some this is a minor inconvenience but in reality it is something that should have been done long ago. Registering also fixes another minor issue people have contacted me about; Nickname stealing. So once you are registered you can customize your profile and do a ton of stuff you couldn’t otherwise. Your posts will not be manually moderated either, so no delay inposting on those days that I am too lethargic to check the comments queue and figure out which are real and which are attempting to get me to purchase brazilian mogwai cream. (yes I actually was offered this in a spam email once upon a time)
  • Link restrictions in comments
    I put some more aggressive restrictions into action on the links that are in comments. Hopefully this will cut down on the malicious links that have popped up here and there.
  • Less comments displayed per page on default.
    This is really another simple change that shouldn’t really affect most of you. We are only going to show the first few most recent comments on each page. Mainly this is another way of decreasing load times on the site, but also will be nice for those who don’t really care about the discussions to have to scroll through a massive long page of commenting. The discussion will still be there, you will just need to page through it manually now.

How to Gremlinize your holidays!

After having my yearly Christmastime viewing of Gremlins, (a traditon I have had since I was a young tater tot) I realized that many people may not have any ideas on how to incorporate Gremlins into their holdiay merriment.

Note: If you are like Kate, and don’t celebrate christmas, well then just think of these as fun ways to spend this wintery season…

1. Watch Gremlins. (Preferrably with someone who hasn’t seen it, or with family)
This one is a no-brainer. It has everything you could want in a christmas movie, Scroogey Mrs Deagle, eggnog addicted cops, Snowplows crashing through WWII Vet’s homes, and santa with a Gremlin on his back!
Ok, well maybe those aren’t the greatest examples of why Gremlins is an uplifting holiday film, but the movie really reminds us that we should be thankful for what we have, and remember each day is a gift. Things could change with a drop of water, a scrap of food, or a wrong move while coming down a chimney on Christmas eve.
If you don’t own Gremlins yet, rent it, or better yet, buy it! The special edition can be found all over fora reasonable price, and is well worth it!

2. Make Gremlins or Mogwai Cookies!
Find an elf cookie cutter,and modify it slightly, (stars work well for the triangle-like ears.)
Make your favorite type of cookies, cut them out, and then add green or brown icing, and cinnamon drops for eyes 🙂

(More ideas after the break!)
