we watched Gremlins (1984). I hadn't seen it in a very long time and so I didn't remember much
it's sort of great? Phoebe Cates is wasted other than her monologue on why she hates Christmas, which is amazing. there's some really well choreographed puppetry scenes and it's a fun time as a PG entry of the horror format. plus early Jonathan Banks as a random deputy
better than I expected, tbh. A-
One year ago today I posted this miniature Gremlins 2 photo I created using real figures and miniature sets...

#TodayILearned that "Mogwai" from the movie #Gremlins derived from the Chinese 貓怪 (Māo guài) meaning "cat monster".
I'm just over here prepping my lecture slides for our discussion of Modernity

TIL #Gremlins was originally written as an R-rated film.
Spielberg convinced the writer to tone it down to fit into a PG rating (since PG-13 didn’t exist yet, and Gremlins was one of the catalysts that created it).

So my Xmas begins
Xmas eve tradition for as long as I've owned the movie, first on VHS, then on DVD and now for the first time... in 4K
Gremlins has been my goto xmas eve tradition for more than 30yrs now... sure there have been gaps where I didn't have a copy available, I was away for example.
Later, if I have time... I added Scrooged to the xmas eve list about 10yrs ago.
On xmas day... it has to be Die hard of course.
If I'm lucky... I might even squeeze in A Muppet Christmas Carol over the next couple of days.

You better watch out. You're probably gonna cry. You better run for your life! I'm telling you why... 
@Flack has picked out 4 Christmas horror movies for you this week on the #VideoStorePodcast. #Gremlins #JackFrost #nerdlyfe https://www.videostorepodcast.com/p/im-dreaming-of-a-bloody-christmas
Then a friend shared this article that explores the history how #Gremlins and #IndianaJones (both 1984 Speilberg films) helped usher in the PG-13 rating and, arguably, changed American cinema for the worse.
TL;DR of the argument: PG-13 ultimately backfired. Instead of being a warning about violence and to keep kids away, it normalized that violence and pushed sex and other content into a more taboo space.

Totally out of place Easter egg in #Gremlins around the 42:30 mark: Husband calls home to say he has to work on Christmas at an inventor’s convention.
First shot: In the bkg is a time machine from IIRC the film adaptation of Jules Verne’s book. Camera cuts to the Gremlins hatching in the attack.
Second shot of husband: The Time Machine has disappeared. 
It’s like a gag from The Simpsons or Family Guy.
Also: I forgot how violent this film is! And mom is surprisingly (for the time) a badass.
Jessi just put on #Gremlins and we are rediscovering the wild tonal whiplash of this film. It reminded me of a similar aspect to Michael Bay’s #Transformers3, of all things.
Which, yes, I do have a soft spot for. And so does this #YouTube essayist I enjoy, PointlessHub, if you are so curious.
Like, Transformers get executed, a couple by *beheading* in that film. Whole groups of humans get vaporized. He argues it might be the most violent PG-13 film he can think of.
Heading back out to Cineworld this evening for another #XmasSeason movie, this time one of my allntime favourite movies. #Gremlins #FilmMastodon
I've never thought about it much until now, but I suppose if you wanted to describe my taste in decorations for my office #Christmas tree, it would "traditionalist." 
Can you identify all the pop culture references?
