If they had any sense they would announce this as “Gremlins 2: The New Batch, Part 2”
The Mogwai will return in November 2027!
Warner Bros. has announced that Gremlins 3 is officially in the works. Chris Columbus is set to direct, with Steven Spielberg returning to produce.

LA is building a new $1.5 billion freeway into LAX.
The very same airport where we just spent $2 billion on the people mover — actually, more like $3 billion, plus another $900 million if you count Metro's investment in the LAX station; so let's just say $4 billion — to make cars go away

Dodger Stadium's parking lot is so big that it could fit an additional 10 Dodger Stadiums.
People think that families were displaced out of Chavez Ravine in the 50s in order to build the stadium, but it's technically more accurate to say that they were displaced to build the stadium's parking lots.
