I swear, if even ONE Gremlin is CGI...


I love the Gremlins films, but I know this is the best we'll ever get. Steven Spielberg himself has said he's ashamed of the films, calling them "too mean-spirited" (his words, not mine). I wonder what Spielberg thinks of Jaws, these days.

Since none of the talent wants to come back to do a third film, a straight to video sequel involving none of the cast (save for maybe Dick Miller and Corey Feldman...which would be awesome) is the best we're likely to get.

I don't really wanto to see the remake of Spies Like Us.... I mean, that's pretty dated material.

I mean, it has the 2 main characters giving weopons to Afganies to fight the Russians.... All I can yell out now is "BIG MISTAKE! Let the Commies win this one!" Sort of like what I do when I watch Seinfeld... you know... "NO! That's Not Jon Voight's car!!!"

Anyway, a direct to DVD sequal of anything is a little fuzzy. SO I really don't care about seeing any of these.

Unless Goonies 2 winds up about them saving a random Mermaid like the video game.

Like I said, Nostalgiamania is runnin' wild. I guess I'll give Gremlins 3 and Goonies 2 a shot. But if Goonies 2 is direct to DVD it will probably be Sandlot 2 levels of bad, where the original characters are only referenced and it is basically a poor attempt at a remake.

Bullsh*t. Man AICN better be wrong about this. It sucks. Come on, Gremlins 3 would be great on big screen, do it right and you have the Gremlins hype coming back. Make Gizmo die and you'll have tears in every friggin theaters. Atleast end this the right way. Gizmo's sacrifice to save the human race ! I'm already crying here !

As for Jaws 5, come on. Forget about a cgi shark and bring back the muppet !Make Jaws win this time. Make him kill everybody. We discovered tons of new amazing things about great white sharks. Use that ! and make us a ultimate Jaws or something.

These are bad news, one final chance to end some great series on a good note. And what's gonna be done ? Direct to dvd ! Yay !

The Jaws franchise died long ago and should not be unearthed for a damn direct-to-DVD sequel. Ugh...I know everyone's getting caught up in the sequel/prequel/reimagining business now, but some properties should stay dead and buried.

Then again, some are probably saying the same thing about TMNT. So there you go.

Yeah, and then you would see some rubbles move in the background and Gizmo would emerge with some dirt on him saying ''bye bye gremlins poo poo''. There, feel better ?

But if they do make a direct to dvd Gremlins 3, I wouldn't be too surprised to see them kill Gizmo in the end. Just to get it over with for good.

What I would like to see in a Gremlins 3, is a darker tone to it. What about a serial killer kind of gremlin. Some gremlins reacting Freddy vs Jason. Just that kind of humor that the first gremlins had. And what about a gremlin dressed up like Chucky! Ah man, good fun we'll never see.

That would be great.. but does it remind us of other movies that poke fun at other movies..?

Not very original. lol.

Its all in the spirit of the Gremlins. You know, there's always a moment in the movie where you see the all the gremlins just having fun and doing stupid things. I think that the gremlins were the first to actually mock other movies. It was great really. Its how gremlins act, they see something funny, or that they like and they'll reproduce it. They're like kids really. That's what so fun about them. It would just be fun to see a little pack of gremlins, all dressed up as famous serial killers. Classic, cliche maybe, but all gremlins.

I mean we're all goonies at heart. Or maybe it's just me. But yeah, can anyone really top the re-gluing of mom's favorite part or the tongue coming out of the painting? or ROCKY ROAD!
I did mention at one time how I abhor remakes right?

Goonies 2= Good idea
Goonies cartoons = Bad Idea?

Well, shows how much people with a shred of intellegence are out of sync with the entertainment companies who are in turn out of sync with the general public.


I'd only support Goonies 2 if the cartoon series comes out of it.

I find this news hard to swallow. Tell me it is a bad dream.

I thought Goonies II was canned anyway...

I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to the Goonies, but only if it had the orignal cast.
