GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH was released 36 years ago today. Joe Dante had no interest in a sequel. Warner Bros. eventually gave him total creative freedom, which led him to make a wildly self-aware film that openly satirized sequels and corporate culture.

BONNIE AND CLYDE was released 59 years ago today. Warner Bros. expected it to be a modest success & gave Warren Beatty just a $200,000 salary but 40% of the film’s gross. When the film exploded at the box office, that percentage made Beatty a fortune.

PROBLEM CHILD was released 36 years ago today. The film was panned by critics on release, yet became a surprise box office hit. Its success was enough to spawn two sequels and turn Junior into one of the most recognizable troublemakers of ’90s comedies.

Twenty five years ago today, The Iron Giant was released. Easily the best-animated film Warner Bros has ever put out, this film soars thanks to its great themes, amazing animation, well-written characters, and also one of the emotionally moving finales ever. A masterpiece.

~20 years ago Barack Obama was a relative nobody, a local state senator Kerry gave him the chance to address the DNC; the major networks didn't even bother covering the speech. Then he gave this speech which led to him becoming president and history was altered. Great stuff.

Peter Hyams' 2010: The Year We Make Contact was released 40 years ago today! Generally hidden (not to say forgotten) in the shadow of Kubrick's illustrious film, this sequel is nonetheless a highly successful sci-fi movie. There's just no point in comparing it to 2001.

Three years ago, Joe Biden gave an address to the nation and called Donald Trump and his "MAGA Republicans" a threat to our democracy. This was the match that lit the fire in a radical leftist, which led to the murder of the leader of the MAGA movement three years later.

For 2 years, 5 goofballs worked in a tiny office on a weird little film that no one might ever see. The only thing that kept us going was each other. The movie, SEARCHING, somehow won Sundance, made $75M in theaters and led to a sequel: MISSING (in theaters today‼️) Keep going.

On this day, 39 years ago, Richard Donner's "Lethal Weapon" (1987) was released in the USA & Canada. Roger Ebert played a huge role in the film's success. When he and Gene Siskel reviewed it on their TV show, Ebert raved about it, said the film "thrilled me from beginning to end" and said it was both a great action film and a well-written drama. He later gave it 4 stars in a written review as well. Fans who had not been that aware of the film (which was released to limited fanfare and ad space in the doldrums of the Spring 1987 release period) went to see it after Ebert's rave and soon widely agreed with him on its quality.

What is even crazier is. The client discovered him through a video that had only 200 views, and the opportunity eventually led to him going to see the client in person and check out the business. Make content and take on any client. Bye.
