The Addams Family (1991) 25 years after Uncle Fester went missing in the Bermuda Triangle, the Addams' lawyer locates a man who who looks and sounds a lot like Gomez's long lost brother. Is the Addams Family finally to be whole again, or is it all a scheme to pilfer their vast fortune? There have been numerous attempts to reboot the beloved 60's sitcom (How could Tim Curry and Daryl Hannah have made something so, so bad?), but with it's pitch perfect casting and lived-in Gothic world, this and its sequel are the only efforts to truly recapture the old dark lightning in a bottle.
TIL: Rather than following along with the excesses of modern individualism and the fragmented anti-social view of humanity it fosters, the Church looks at the individual as a member of a family, thereby emphasizing the social dimension of human existence. The Catechism notes that it is the authority, stability, and a life of relationships within the family, no matter how odd that family may be, which constitute the foundations for freedom, security, and fraternity within society.
I HAVE SOME NOTES: Continuing to jot down thoughts on my daily Scripture readings.

I liked the first AF movie but didn't like the sequel. The humour and atmosphere in the first one were done really well. I just didn't like the way they changed Gomez and Fester's relation to brothers from nephew and uncle of the (original) TV series. But I guess there was a lot of room for interpretation since I dontthink they specified the relation in the original New Yorker comic strips.
As a kid, I used to check out collections of New Yorker cartoons from the library. The Addams Family ones were always my favorite. You're right, I don't remember them being specific.
