Awww, remember this cute little face? While browsing Netflicks this week, I came across the movie "Gremlins" and nostalgic thoughts flooded over me as I remembered cute little Gizmo with his big ears & crooked smile. Sure, it was a little scary, but in a fun way right? Surely my kids would love this delightful 80's flick.
We happily watched the first half hour of Gizmo humming his little tune, immitating dog barks, and squealing "bright light!" whenever a light came on. We munched our pizza & Kendall wondered if I ever had a stuffed Gizmo toy. I began to have second thoughts when Gizmo got water spilled on him & his body began bubbling and popping out little mogwi spawn...but we watched on. The discusting, slimy mogwi cocoon things made me cringe a little (huh...didn't remember that part), but when the first evil gremlin emerged and KILLED the high school science teacher (WHAT?! I don't remember that!), and the mom grabbed a butcher knife to go confront the gremlin commotion she heard upstairs...the dvd went back into it's cozy little Netflicks envelope.
How could my memory have been that off? I guess I was in 10th grade when I watched the Gremlins & I'm pretty sure there was some funny stuff in it. I do tend to be a TAD overprotective at times....but I'm pretty sure you can turn out okay even if you never see Gremlins.

I'm laughing.....I remember that being the most scary movie I had ever seen at that time. Your children may be traumatized. Were they glad that it went back into the cozy envelope or did they insist that they "could handle it" like Jackson would have?
Surprisingly they didn't protest. I think the mom with the big knife made them a bit nervous. We popped in another Netflix..season 1 of "Seventh Heaven". It's also back in it's envelope. HA!
I never saw Seventh Heaven -- why was that returned to it's envelope?
Hey Deb - I LOVE it!!! Aren't blogs fun? I just need to be more consistant with updating mine.
Gremlins - I remember Gremlins fondly and quite honestly, I forgot about a few of those violent issues as well. When you see a picture of Gizmo - well - I guess all you remember is the cuteness. I can definitely relate.
Love your blog. I will bookmark you.
I just posted a new one last night on mine, too, so take a peek if you get a chance.
