Tonight I watched the Movie Gremlins 2. I havn't seen it in many years and deeply regret that. So I took note of a few things that happened in the movie. The first being that the voice of the talking gremlin sounds much like David Bowie, and I would ultimately like to know who in fact did the voice over.
The second is that I wonder if Chuck Palahnuik was inspired to create Marla Singer from the Character Marla (Billy's boss) in Gremlins.... maybe it was just a high connection that I made but I could see that....
Thirdly the creaters of the movie obviously were stoners, the movie was cholk full of hilarious allegories to the stoners delight, such as planning the attack against the gremlins at 4:20.... the gremlins having the late night midnight munchies, they are smoking a ton in the movie... and some other things, but you'd have to watch it and you would know exactly what I was talking about.
Hulk Hogan makes a cameo appearance towards the end of the movie which is great because, and lets be honest here, who doesn't love Hulk Hogan? Hmmmm?
The marketing placement was quite funny in this movie, one of the last lines in the movie (is said by Mr. Clamp) " You know what I see? Dolls with suction cups staring out of car window!" Yes and did become quite popular didn't they?
The last thing I want to touch base on from the movie is the integration of Stolkholm syndrome. There is one Prima Donna Diva gremlin whom takes a liking to Forester (the jackass over authoritative jerk of operations) Now at the end of the movie she plays Cannon in D and we all know what that means? Bells are-a-ringin and veils are a droppin. At this point in the movie Forester gives a sly shoulder shrug and a a little wink in the end giving off the impression that "hey, maybe it's not so bad after all"
So thats my little diddy on Gremlins
