terribleturner Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I had to preview our on air copy of Gremlins for all those lucky viewers of TCM in South Africa tomorrow this evening. And i got to thinking about all those flaws people have said about. Like if they were eating on a plane and they crossed different times zones etc.... and what if they had a piece of food in their teeth but it didn't fall out till after midnight and so on. But tonight i got to think about them walking on the snow in the film, and surely when they crushed or touched the snow in fact there would be some water, which should mean that they should then start multiplying should it not??

Jake Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Blimey mate! Gremlins? Who can remember that? That was like 20 years ago! Some of our members weren't even born then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1980 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 At the risk of sounding uneducated, wasn't it only Gizmo that multiplied when he got wet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 No, there was one of the Mogwai's that was taken to the school science teacher and they put water on him there and he multiplyed, then Spike the Gremlin leader jumps into the swimming pool and he also multiplys. Jake, it was 84 to be precised. A great christmas movie. Tomorrow night i have to preview Superman (1978) which is as old as me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woah, I'm obviously way out of my depth here then! Any chance you can get it put on TCM in the UK tomorrow as well, then I'll be able to give you an honest appraisal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 I'm afraid Uk views have Blood Simple by the Cohen Brothers tomorrow night while Spain Get Mad Max and France get Beetlejuice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1980 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Well that's just brilliant, thanks for nothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Why are you viewing these movies anyway? In case Speilberg slipped some hard core porn scenes in that none of the previous 80milllion viewers noticed? What is this "TCM" anyway?

terribleturner Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 you think that's bad, before Blood Simple is Tick Tick Tick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to record them to a big Hard Drive which will run the films, promo's and commercials at the times we specify. Sometimes they don't always record 100% right so that's where i step in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1980 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 you think that's bad, before Blood Simple is Tick Tick Tick. Well, looks like my usual friday night of TCM viewing is off then. Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Sounds like a tough job. What if you missed a bit and one of those half a dozen people watching actually phoned in to complain? Do you get a company duvet? Any vacancies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
