James Rolfe, known by most as the Angry Video Game Nerd from Cinemassacre.com, does this absolutely wonderful and completely accurate review of Gremlins and Gremlins 2 The New Batch as a promotion for Spike TV’s upcoming Scream 2008 Awards.
Is it just me, or does it seem like there are all these little ways here and there to get Gremlins back into the mainstream? And why on Earth and sequels would they want to do that? *sinister laugh*
I found this awesome video on GremlinsOnline.com, my #1 source for all things Gremlins, and I had to share it! It’s from a big-time fan of the Gremlins franchise who decided to make his own alternate sequence.
For those of you that remember Gremlins 2 The New Batch, there was a point of the film where the film reel broke and the Gremlins took over… only to be stopped by HULK FREAKIN’ HOGAN!
In the VHS version of the movie, a new sequence was put in its place to act like the tape broke, sending the Gremlins into a John Wayne movie.
In this fan film, the Gremlins have now broken your DVD player and are jumping into The Exorcist, Batman, even The Goonies! It’s absolutely awesome! Kudos.
I can’t believe someone didn’t think of this sooner… but kudos to those who did, because it is AWESOME! Here’s a great video of a British IT commercial that uses none other than the GREMLINS as computer viruses. I found it on Gremlins Online, so go there for the full info on the commercial.
Check out the actual commercial above and then the behind the scenes videos below.
Doing this website and videos have been loads of fun. I love it. And now it’s nice to know that others love me, too, just like people love New York (the state, not the VH-1 “celebrity”).
Here are some hot blogs about black culture, nerd culture, and even Gremlins fanatics, that had great things to say “about your boy” (Is that how rappers say it? Or is that that movie that starred Hugh Grant?)
