the sad thing is i remember going to see Jason Takes Manhattan and the ads had all had Jason slaughtering street punks and muggers - but then the first 90% of the film is on the stupid cruise ship and only the last like 20 minutes are in manhattan - freaking annoying as hell!

I am with you on that, I would have liked more of him in the city...

It took a slight turn at pt 5 where Jason was just imitated, though him being dead for a movie and coming back in 6 was really just character building.

But when they took him away from Crystal Lake , that was when they jumped the shark!

Really? It wasn't when he fought a girl with psychic powers?

I don't think so, why don't you like telekinesis?

Fighting someone with powers of their own was cool... why not, it's not really jumping the shark like him stowing away on a boat to the City..

It became almost as horrific as a horror film when these two characters were introduced.


The Great Gazoo

Scrappy Doo - I mean WHAT THE FUCK? He's meant to be the nephew of Scooby and stole his slogan from baseball! I would kill scrappy doo if I met him. And if that wasn't enough, here's the rest of scooby's relatives courtesy of Wikipedia.

Scooby-Dum: Scooby's cousin, a blue-grey dog. A Mortimer Snerd-esque dog who longed to be a detective. Was rather dimwitted (he'd keep looking for clues even after the mystery was solved).
Scooby-Dee: Scooby's cousin, a white dog. Spoke with a Southern accent, and was an actress.
Yabba-Doo: Scooby's brother, a white dog owned by Deputy Dusty in the American southwest. Unlike Scooby's and Scrappy's, his typical custom catch-phrase at the end is "Yippity-Yabbity-Doooo!!!", and not "Yabba-Dabba-Doo!", presumably due to obvious reasons.

Dooby-Doo: Scooby's triplet brother, a singer. He is one of Scooby's few siblings to have hair on his head.

Momsy and Dada Doo: Scooby's parents.

Whoopsy-Doo: Scooby's cousin, a clown. Owned by Norville's uncle, Gaggy Rogers.

Ruby-Doo: Scooby's sister, and mother of Scrappy-Doo.

Skippy-Doo: Scooby's triplet brother. Highly intelligent. He is Scooby's only sibling to wear glasses.

Howdy-Doo: Scooby's brother. Enjoyed reading supermarket tabloid newspapers. He appears to become a redhead.

Horton-Doo: Scooby's uncle. Was interested in monsters and science.

Dixie-Doo: Scooby's cousin.

Grandpa Scooby: Scooby's grandfather.

Great-Grandpa Scooby: Scooby's great-grandfather.

Dumper Scoots: A confused lion that thinks he is a dog. Having the same speech pattern as Scooby-Doo he believes he is Scooby's cousin.


FUCKADOODLEDOO!!!!

I really can't be asked to argue with you again Disease so why don't you stop your pathetic attempts to make my time at HDC shit.

Poltergeist 3 was silly.

Zero 11-24-2007 01:36 PM

agreed - i wasn't a fan of poltergeist 2 - but 3 was ridiculous - wasn't that the one in the high rise building?
