I Fed my Gremlin After Midnight

This is Gremlin, "It Can't All Be Dior"s resident houseplant. Like all green things, he's not faring well with our black thumbs around here. But this morning, in the wee hours, I replanted him and fed him. What else are you supposed to do when you're up sneezing and coughing?  Stupid early Summer cold. 

Hope Gremlin fares better. He too is "under the weather".  

I Guess Gremlins 2 Isn't the Universal Reference Point I Think it is

So yesterday at work I'm over thinking the wording on some purse or coat.

"I guess when you dissect the word order too much it all turns to fluff and non-sense, right? It's like in Gremlins 2 when the smarmy executives grill Billy over the rules about feeding the Mogwai after midnite"


-Blank stares-

Boy do I feel either really old or cuckoo loony tunes.




If you have no idea or you're 100% with me, either way skip to minute 4:00 and you too can start making inappropriate work references about caraway seeds



              

Halloween Best Dressed

The Blonds as Lady and Sir Gremlin at Heidi Klum's annual Halloween party

Hope they avoided the bright lights. 

Date Movie: Bucket of Blood

Last nite's date nite in with roomie, Mr G, was a real piece of art, Roger Corman's 

A Bucket of Blood. 

Nerdy busboy Walter Paisley (Dick Miller) just wants to be in with the hip Beatnik's he serves at the local cafe. But he's a lousy sculptor. That is until he finds his true muse: 

Murder... duhn,duhn,duhn!

(All this pretentious poetry I'd be driven to kill too!)

After accidentally stabbing a cat stuck in a wall (it happens), Walter becomes the toast of the art world when he slaps some clay over the cat corpse (hilariously complete with protruding kitchen knife)

(Really? You covered a sharp knife in clay too? I'm supposed to believe that?)

The Beatniks find meaning in his work but his work means offing some more supporting cast. Walter takes out a construction worker with a buzz saw, a cop with a frying pan (beware Village People!)

("I'm fixin' to fry up some Pig")

and strangles some snotty model with her own scarf

("Trust me, you little B, the audience will cheer me on!")

Chase scenes, saxophone solos, rounds of spot the Williamsburg fashion inspiration, everybody's favorite drunkard Gremlins neighbor, Mr Futterman on a farcical killing spree and this no make-a da sense king/jester on a throne with a toilet plunger as a scepter moment

... another great classic for the DVD vaults!
