>Gremlins 2: The New Batch released in 1990 and only happened because its director Joe Dante was forced to make a sequel by Warner Brothers due to the success of the first. He requested full creative control over the production and project. Steven Spielberg was more involved in the production of Gremlins, while he had next to no involvement in production of Gremlins 2.>Gremlins as a concept spawned during World War II by the RAF, it was said that "gremlins" were small little creatures who would mess with the machinery of allied planes and cause crashes.>One of the main characters of Gremlins 2 is a billionaire New York City mogul skyscraper developer named Daniel Clamp>The main setting of Gremlins 2 is the Clamp Trade Center, referred to as the Clamp Center. The gremlins invade and take over the Clamp Center and cause chaos throughout the movie.>Daniel Clamp is also the owner of CCN, the Clamp Cable Network.>In one scene, Clamp escapes the top floor of the skyscraper in his secret tunnel, when he emerges, a Jewish man passes by, and 2 reporters with the channel numbers "9" and "11" swarm him.>In an earlier scene, a bulldozer destruction is shown some televisions on CCN, with an analog clock at the numbers "9" and 11">In another scene, a gremlin is overseeing the chaos in a large indoor area. The camera shows it wearing a large nose while it appears to be scheming.>Daniel Clamp wrote a book called "I Took Manhattan", this book is prominently featured in many parts of the movie.

>>42163179Fuq you wanna do with this info? Tons of 9/11 references in pop culture / media
>>42163254this entire movie just appears to be 9/11 but if you translated it under multiple layers of english on google translate. this is just the entire entire fucking movie there are no subplots that don’t just go back to this
>>42163252Is this>In one scene, Clamp escapes the top floor of the skyscraper in his secret tunnel, when he emerges, a Jewish man passes by, and 2 reporters with the channel numbers "9" and "11" swarm him.>In an earlier scene, a bulldozer destruction is shown some televisions on CCN, with an analog clock at the numbers "9" and 11"That sounds very interesting
Ok? just another piece of predictive programming. This thread would be better as a collection of all the pieces and discussion of, can’t go much farther with just gremlins 2.
>>42163238Those are Groucho glasses you dipstick, a classic toy still sold all over the place.
>>42163179Unironically the best and most intellectually stimulating thread I've seen so far this year.
>>42163238ayyy i'm walkin hea'!
>>42163220WWOR-TV 9 and WPIX 11 were just the two major TV news channels in the NYC area in 1990. The third reporter's microphone there is for WNBC 4, but at the time they used the national CNBC logo for their news program instead of the channel specific one.
>>42163179>>Gremlins as a concept spawned during World War II by the RAF, it was said that "gremlins" were small little creatures who would mess with the machinery of allied planes and cause crashes.Based and redpilled. They knew.
>>42163179i only saw the 1st one once, but i felt it had a deeper symbolic meaning to it. the most conspiracy theory i could find was "it was an allegory for racial tension and fear of immigrants multiplying", but i felt that was dissatisfactory. maybe it was right, but i felt wanting more theories.
>>42165276i've been pondering about this sort of thing. anything you'd like to share?i do know that objects / tools will take on an "infinitive motion state" on some astral layer, after enough use. and metal ones especially will eventually bite and draw blood. and there's a way to store objects in designated containers optimized for their comfort, and orientation when they're idle.
>>42165302Probably just an old WWII joke about people who used to sabotage stuff.
>>42163179There's also a scene where the cable network prepares to air a pre-recorded "end of the world" broadcast.It was years later that a major network (I think CNN) confirmed that they do have such a tape ready to air in case the world is ending.
>>42165314>sabotage stuffHint: Planes, but also entire Countries.>Gremlins 2: The New Batch released in 1990 and only happened because its director Joe Dante was forced to make a sequel by Warner Brothers>He requested full creative controlKeeping that in mind, are sounds more and more like a failed warning about future calamities.Holy shit guise.
>>42165320It was never really a secret, broadcast technicians at every commercial station in the US were all given the red folder (reissued twice a year, to cycle the code phrases) and instructions on how to use it from the '50s up till the early '00s when the system was automated.
>>42163238its larry silverstein
>>42165381Or maybe we can not ignore the fact that Channel 9 and 11 were two of the most common cable news channels nationally, or the overwhelming jew population in Jew York City, and maybe, just maybe, we can see a man who did not want to make a film about little creatures invented to explain away sabotage and instead chose to fuck around and sabotage said film after studio forcing him to make it gives him complete creative control, meaning WB did not, in fact, learn their lesson 30 years later with The Matrix.
