Gremlins now showing on G4!
Heyas all!
For those interested, if you get the Cable station G4, Gremlins is now playing as part of their “Movies That Don’t Suck” series.
Do you hear what I hear, brother?!
Heyas all!
Time for the first not 100% gremliny post that some of you have been excited about, while the rest of you are busy finding ways to ban me from the internet for not posting gremlins stuffs 24/7.
Gremlins has always been my number one passion throughout my life, and when I was young, back before the interwebs were what they are today, I wanted one book more than any.
The Gremlins Novelization by George Gipe.
To me, this was the bible of all Gremlins knowledge. With it, the secrets of the creatures that occupied a huge portion of my mind at all times would be unlocked. I feverishly searched the book out, as feverishly a 5 or 6 year old could. This is where the back story comes in.
My parents would make semi-regular trips up to North Fon Du Lac, Wisconsin to see my Uncle Richie his family. This was always exciting for me, since my cousins, Richie and Tony, were older than me by about 6-7 years. This meant one thing, and one thing only.
They had the cool toys & I could play with them.

Gremlins for Christmas & 25th Anniversary Rumors!
Heyas all!
First off, for those of you who follow the time honored Gremlins Online tradition of watching Gremlins every year right around christmas time, but haven’t broken down and purchased your very own Gremlins Special Edition DVD, Gremlins is airing on AMC pretty regularly through the holidays. Surprisingly, it is the unedited version with the complete microwave, blender and fireplace sequences!
If you have cable, be sure to check it out at the following upcoming showtimes:
Sun Dec 28 @ 6:30AM | 5:30C
Mon Dec 29 @ 1AM | 12C
Mon Dec 29 @ 7:30AM | 6:30C
I have also gotten word that there is supposed to be a new dvd release of Gremlins with some all-new special features in 2009. This would coincide with the 25th anniversary of the original film, so hopefully Warner Bros will go all out for this one and give us a version that has the deleted scenes included in the flow of the film! More updates as I discover more!
Changes, Lack Of Updates, Lack Of things to be said?
Heyas all!
The last few months have been incredibly quiet on the Gremlins front, but surprisingly busy in my personal life, including my son turning 1, and moving to a new home.
Sadly, the momentum from the BT Gremlins ad seems to have died down and so have the rumors of Gremlins 3 yet again. This doesn’t mean that there isn’t one in the works, but that there isn’t anything being said.
There is some great news though, Zach Galligan’s newest film, Let Them Chirp Awhile, is finally being brought to Netflix! Be sure to queue it up and take a peek at a great film!
The promises of new gremlins products in the marketplace by the end of the year seem to be unlikely, since there hasn’t been anything beyond a few variations on t-shirt designs and whatnot.
Finally, I have done some long and hard thinking about the direction of Gremlins Online.
Don’t worry the site isn’t going anywhere. A couple months without news is par for the course for Gremlins, and as the 25th anniversary of the original film approaches, we probably will see a new version of Gremlins released, but after that? Who knows?
That being said, I am considering expanding Gremlins Online to include more things of interest to those who might enjoy Gremlins…Ok who am I kidding? I am really considering adding more content of things I personally enjoy. Things I find neato and weird. The core of the site will still be Gremlins, but my goal is to keep up regular content, which is becoming difficult for our favorite (soon to be) 25 & 18 year old movies exclusively.
So expect to see more. More what? I don’t quite know yet, but comment, tell me what you want. Maybe we will even get those awesome forums I keep getting emails about!
I will say this, the site will not become a cookie-cutter random nostalgia site or anything. In all reality one of my favorite blogs is X-entertainment which I consider the most awesome blog ever, because of Matt’s approach to storytelling. So while I am not going to encroach on his market, I do hope to include some articles that are focused on things like: “WOAH I FOUND THIS THING!” and my excitement at shiny objects. Plus, I love weird things. I love reviewing things that probably don’t need to be reviewed. I also have no qualifications to post anything about anything, but hey, this is the internet!
I also tend to get over-excited about strange things, and want to share that with you, the unwitting public!
Get Ready. Things are about to get….weird.
{Gremlins 3 Rumor Mill} Zach Galligan comments on Sacha’s Gremlins Clips & BT Commercial.
From Zach Galligan’s Personal Blog: (source)
People have been asking me lately if I’ve seen the BT spot that features gremlins. I have, and you can see it here.
People have also been asking if the tremendous response to the spot in the UK has in any way given momentum to future Gremlins projects, including a possible Gremlins 3.
The answer to that question is: in a way, yes. That’s all I can say right now.
Additionally, a young man named Sacha Feiner has created one of the most astounding Gremlins clips ever. It really defies description, so if you’re a fan, you can watch it here. But be sure to watch the jaw-dropping, hard-to-believe-but-true “Making Of” clip here. I guarantee you, you won’t forget it.
And yes, I can tell you that the people responsible for Gremlins have seen it too, and are pretty darn impressed.
That is all.
What does that mean for us Gremlins fans? Only time will tell! Stay Tuned for more info as it pops up!
Also if you are interested in what Zach Galligan is up to these days, check out his blog at http://zgalligan.blogspot.com He has some interesting adventures regarding concerts and trips all over the place! Keep in mind he is an acting teacher at NYU and his schedule prevents him from blogging regularly, so updates may be infrequent.
