That was the smart gremlin. Creased me up as a kid. The first film scared the shit out of me. This film made it all funny and he was one of the best bits!
The absolute best bit was Phoebe Cates’ wild call-back to her strange/dark monologue in the original Gremlins about how she hated Christmas due to her dad’s horrific death.
It was so strange and out of place in the original Gremlins, it was great for them to satirize it in the sequel.
“Please…don’t mention Lincoln! Something terrible happened to me once on Lincoln’s birthday! I was six or seven, I had the day off from school. Mama let me go to the park - she made me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich… This man with a beard and a hat just like Abe Lincoln…I remember…oh god!”
Apparently Joe Dante, the director of both Gremlins movie initially refused to make the second one. But after the studio gave him a lot of money and complete creative control, he agreed to make Gremlins 2. And with that creative control he decided to make it a parody of the first one because he didn’t really give a shit. And it was great!
just to be 101% certain, do you have first-hand experience with this? because I’d like other movies in my library that weren’t on no list to remain where they are…
I’m really sorry for reiterating this, but what you wrote also implies that movies that weren’t on any list will also be deleted (don’t want that), along with the movies that were on a list and now aren’t (do want that). do you have first-hand experience with this?
That’s how it works. I don’t think many people use the option.
If it helps, you could choose the keep and unmonitor option, and then once you’ve confirmed that it does indeed impact movies not on your lists (by unmonitoring them), you can disable the cleaning option (or choose a better option for you) and update all your movies back to Monitored.
