I think there are enough new places to put a Mogwai than do a remake in a small town. Put a Mogwai in a crowded Airport during Thanksgiving. Writes itself.

If they rehire Joe Dante, great. He mixed darkish humor and horror very well with the 1st one, and somehow the over-the-top humor (and little horror) of the sequel was very entertaining.
A new director could very very well just make it a horror movie and miss the underlying humor of the original completely. It might be good, but it'd be hollow compared to the originals.

Because when I see Gremlins, I get completely confused over this strange time period known as the 80s. I need bad cgi and untalented actors to help me understand the story better.

I don't know, the Wizard of Oz, Maltese Falcon, and Frankenstein all turned out pretty good.

If anything, it means the original will get more attention.
That, and commercializing it seems appropriate after 2, which was all about making jokes of the possibilities. Sure, go for it.

Pretty much. If it looks entertaining/interesting I'll see it; if not, I'll skip it, no harm done. Not like someone's gonna come to my house and break my dvd of the original. |

Or at least they'll break your DVD player so you can't play it anymore.  |

Will they finally fully explain how "Don't feed them after midnight" works?

Read the original draft of the script. The Mogwai ate the dog and as Gremlins decapitated Billy's mother. I've been wanting more Gremlins since 1990 when I was 5 years old. I think after 23 years the ship may have sailed for a sequel, so why not a remake? |

I've wanted a sequel for 23 years now. As I got older I realized the only obvious move for a 3rd one would be Gizmo finding himself with no other choice than to eat something after midnight to combat some sort of Super Gremlin. I think explaining that Gizmo was good for so long so it helped him from turning evil after the metamorphosis.

I'd see it if it starred Lil Wayne. He's one of the voices of the gremlins. He'll have a rap scene and be the lead song on the soundtrack. |
