Happy #FridayThe13th!

I did a double feature of F13 part 3 and Elm Street part 3. I think F13-3 is the best of the series. Jason is at his best and bulkiest. Something about his stature, humongous neck, and movement really works for me, and he does two things that people often forget he's capable of doing: running and raping. The whole end chase scene is long and great, and the barn is such a great setting that they had to copy it for part 5.

One thing that makes no sense is that he was hacked with a machete through the shoulder in part 2, and they even show it in the recap (thus it's not exactly retconned), but he's basically back to full health a day later. Oh well. Chris is also my favorite final girl, even though her acting is pretty atrocious at times, but she is fine.

The director of part 6 apparently pitched a Cheech and Chong Meet Jason idea, likely inspired by the Chong rip-off in this movie. Just imagine the different trajectory this series would have taken if that happened. We'd probably get some really stupid entries like Jason in Space or something. Thank God that never happened.

Happy #FridayThe13th!!

The first of three this year: February, March, and November. Allow me to blather on, because there's some "news". As for stupid things, the short film "Sweet Revenge" was taken down a while ago and for no reason, so if you didn't see it when it came out, you're fucked.

The TV show is still in the works, but Harry Manfredini is reportedly attached to do at least some small bit of the score, which is awesome. A Jason movie isn't a Jason movie without his score, as evident with the 2009 movie. This show will probably get released in another 10 years at the rate it's been going.

Since the lawsuit is apparently over, there are murmurings of a new movie. I wont hold my breath just yet.

And NECA is finally putting out a Part 8 and a Jason Goes to Hell figure (versions from "The Game"), so they already have my money. I recently grabbed a re-release of the Part 3 figure, because I'm such a sucker.


Now, the hardest part of my day... figuring out which of the movies I'll watch tonight...
