Carol soon took on an informal role in creating the sense of family. She often arranged the birthday parties, and it was she and Mary who kept their door open late and the beanbag chairs available. It seemed entirely appropriate when May rolled around and the dorm sent her a mother's day card...
...could not save. She was instantly likeable, and entered as Lionel's only certifiable celebrity; she had been a regular on the children's television show "Zoom," and was often recognized in the street. She was quiet yet friendly, and everyone considered it entirely in character when on her birthday she gave out presents to everyone else in the dorm. But behind the composure, residents of Lionel soon realized. Shawn had a profound inability to cope.

The feminist fete featured speeches and songs by such liberati as Mario Thomas, Bella Abzug, Bette Midler, Sally Ride and Shirley MacLaine, who wished the birthday girl "success and happiness in all your future lives." Ride, for her part, recalled that her mother, after watching Sally rocket away...
...arrive, looking to scare you silly. This is no idle threat. Spooky as a slumber party in a graveyard, the picture is buoyed by a hip, good-timey sense of humor and buttressed by a marketing campaign that means to get a furry doll into every child's birthday bundle. But Gremlins has enough style and savvy to stand on its own as the summer's most original Hollywood picture. Like so many other recent works produced by the film-school generation, this is at heart a movie about movies, and about the innocent thrills a sophisticated team...
