Dear Hollywood, Don't Even Think About It

***Vaguely relevant YouTube clip designed
to distract from text-heavy post***



Looks like "the word" on "the street" is that the long-rumoured Gremlins 3 is on the way, although as rumours go, this one comes round about every twenty minutes and can therefore be treated with all the seriosity it deserves.

My concern is not that it will or won't get made, but that if it does, I do not want to see a poster advertising

GR3MLINS

at any point. Right? If you're overpaid enough to be in marketing then come up with something original instead of making this stuff up in your sleep you irritating bumwarts.

And while I'm at it, can we also have a ban on any of the following:

AVA2AR
STAR 2REK
KILL 3ILL
IV-MEN (it's Roman numerals, work it out)
CHARLIE'S ANG3LS
JURASSIC P4RK
SPIDER-M4N
MEN IN 3LACK
2013
CL3RKS
GHOSTBUST3RS*
ALIEN5
THE GODF4THER
TRANSFORM3RS
TRANS4MERS
TRAN5FORMERS
IRON 2 MAN... oh dear, too late



...and so on.

Actually, now I come to think of it, I can't think of that many films that have done this, except maybe Se7en, and that wasn't even a sequel... does 2 Fast 2 Furious count? The TRON sequel was going to be called TR2N, but was mercifully changed to Tron Legacy... hmm. I think I may have just rendered my own argument pointless.

*Thanks to prairie_oysters for that one. This blog is, like, so interactive

  3. SSJ, that's very good. I have picked it up and chucked it into Twitterworld to see if it flies.

  4. It's a pleasure Mr Suit. Even went on that fffffing Facebook and joined your campaign for Wossy's warm seat. May have to fight Kermode for it though......
