   OK, my kids (both adults) haven't seen Gremlins, and I haven't since I was like 12, but I am still confident that is the second most important Xmas movie. Could suck! Could transcend! Will report how this goes.

     @tqbf I watched Gremlins on a plane recently and had a similar series of toots about it. Also noticed the landlady who makes Cruela seem reasonable, the wrists comment, and Chekov's sword.

     The 80s were a time.

     You know this move was one of the main reasons the PG-13 rating was created, right?

     OK, my feeling is: this movie held up.

     Phoebe Cates is now serving the gremlins at the bar. Also: beer apparently does not cause them to reproduce.

     Shouldn't they reproduce when they come into contact with snow, too?

     Ok the mom in this is bad-ass. Her kill count is 3 so far, including Gremlin Kill of the Week in the microwave, and now she's dual-wielding.

     I think Phoebe Cates just said "when everyone else is opening up their presents they're opening up their wrists”.

     I guess this movie predates drunk driving.

     You can't just ask for the dog! That's not how tort law works.

     It's really easy to predict which characters are going to be eaten by gremlins.

     I forgot Corey Feldman was in this. Pressing ahead anyways.

     You definitely couldn't do that opening in 2023. Or 2013, or 2003. Still: this could work out.

     @ryanc @tqbf man, I haven’t seen that movie since I was a kid and don’t remember any of that! I’m going to have to watch this.
