Gremlins 2 is decent at best, and far from Joe Dante's best work. However, it's him just completely unhinged and off the rails, so I gotta respect that.

It took 18 years to build the first one, so I imagine they started building the second just a few years after they started the first one. Talking about counting your chickens before they hatch.

Rogue One sucks rear end.

A New Hope is an amazing movie.

JJ Abrams was absolutely correct to ape it for The Force Awakens, which was pretty good.

Reminder to millennials that their generation sucks. In the 80s we had toys for Robocop, Rambo, Aliens, Predator, Terminator, etc. And NES games to match.

And our PG movies had tits and cursing.

Even kids movies specifically targeted at kids had tits and cursing.

Try getting away with this in a kids movie today:

The best use of 3D was Jackass 3D which used the avatar cameras but in practical and creative ways.

It's an amazing movie. I wish they'd re-release it in theaters so I can watch it in 3D again.

Reaction videos are like the worst loving thing. Especially when it's just forced clickbait Youtube views poo poo.

I get the idea of maybe secretly recording someone's reaction to a thing like that. You want that genuine reaction from whatever they're watching. But man, that whole thing is just fake as gently caress. Of course they're going to go nuts for it. They don't want to miss out on free Funkos or passes to movies or other swag.

Rumors of Apple buying Disney surface every once in a while. They're most definitely false but I'm sure some bean counters at Apple have run the numbers.

Honestly, I'm more surprised Google hasn't bought a media company yet. They love to throw money at crap.

This was a really old fan film and at that point the most well produced one. It's pretty funny. The guy who made it went on to write some funny Star Wars comics for Dark Horse. No idea what he's up to now.

I know there were attempts to make a tv movie and a new series to follow up to it but that never happened.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet. Nerd nostalgia is at an all time high. Better do it now while Bakula and Stockwell are still alive.

I think visually the Phantom Menace is the best prequel. Episode 2 looks like someone smeared poo on the camera lens. 3 is better but still suffers from being 100% glaringly obvious that everything was shot on green screen.
