I'm going to acquire these movies legally *shifty eyes*
anddddd then watch them now :P
I always wanted to but nobody else would watch them because of their supposed 'scaryness', but to me it was always just a little furby who couldn't be fed after midnight.
I'm having a weird memory now of big green blobs of goo everywhere. Did the gremlins explode when they were killed?
One thing dude - Don't call them Furbys. :mad:... :p(Kidding, Gremlins predates those horrid things by a good decade :D).Quote:

I'm not going to tell you anything more until you've watched both of them! :p - Seriously man, you've got to watch them but just bare in mind that they were made in the late 80s early 90s and hence have a certain approach to things, you'll see what I mean. :D
Now go and watch them! :cool:
I know that they came before Furbys, but seeing as I grew up with them. It is really the only parallel I can draw between something of my childhood :PQuote:

I will watch them! Don't you worry about that!
I still remember other parts of the movie, but they're just little bits and pieces. The flaming arrow in the spider is what I remember most vividly haha! That, and the guy who gives him Gizmo at the start.
I had a Furby and it looked a bit like a Mogwai. But that was after I did some cosmetic work on it with a screwdriver and scissors. Damn thing would not be quiet. And it screamed.
Yeah that's fine dude, t'was only kidding but yeah - I reckon Hasbro was trying to go for a Mogwai toy when they came up with those horrid things but could just not quite acquire the rights to the likeness I guess. :rolleyes:Quote:

(Argh, showing my age now <Fends off the even older members with my walking frame> :p)
Ah good, I hope you do dude because they are awesome movies that could/should never be remade or rebooted because they were made in an era when things weren't Ultra-Realistic but people enjoyed and accepted that fact anyway - That era just can't be repeated or recreated IMO. :o
When you say "Gizmo was given to him at the start" - Are you referring to the scene where Billy finds him in the Old Chinese bloke's Antique Store or when Billy's Father goes into the Antique Store and the Old bloke describes the rules to him?
If it's the former?, it'd be the second movie, if the later?, it's the original. ;)
Man, every one of those things I saw I wanted to put under my boot - even when they were on bloody store shelves! :pQuote:
