Right on the money;)

That hat will make you look like a duck.

I just published a review of 'Friday The 13th Part 2'.

Check it out here:

Fuck Freddy

Jason?
 

Do you think Jason was (ADHD) attention deficit hyperactivity disorder:confused:

I think Jason is a classic case of watching too many horror movies.:rolleyes:

ADHD based on what?

Dude had more issues than being distracted by shiny. :p

I was thinking. Perhaps we should start a couple threads in the modern horror section, "Halloween Series Discussion Thread" and do one for Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street and whatever other popular topics there might be. Whenever a new topic about them pops up we just move the threads on over and merge them. That way none of the topics for different movies get buried under 80 topics about Jason's boots.

So a lot of Jason's boots:confused:

We get a lot of questions about his boots, the laces specifically.

and the laces on his boots are the subject of much debate. Don't neglect that tidbit.

Let's review the original parts of Jason's character...

He does not talk.
He rarely runs.
He uses a blade to kill people a lot of the time.
He wears a mask to hide his face.
There is little reasoning behind the full extent of his psychopathic ways.
His murders always commence on a specific day of the year.

Oh, sorry. I was thinking of Michael Myers. :rolleyes:

I feel the laces in Michael's boots add more character, unlike Jason's, his laces are really just there to look creepy even though they totally clash with his boots.

Very few people know that Jason is actually addicted to health drinks - the secret of his unending stamina.

Haha. Wow. How far __V__ has come over the years. :D

That put a smile on my face.

Still hate pt. V, but not nearly as much as VII & VIII or even IX.
I thought the first four films of this series stand out as a pretty fine quadrilogy on their own right. They should have ended it right there.

And to be fair in pt. V's and pt. IX's defenses, they did try to take the franchise in a new direction - (SPOILERS AHEAD) V bringing in a copycat killer with the same modus operandi and IX trying to make the big man scary again by trying to make us see the scares of his soul possessing anybody, even us. At least they gave it their best shots to be somewhat unique even when being late sequels of such a big franchise which was fast losing its charm, unlike VII and VIII which weren't the least bit scary.
Where they failed was the actual absence of Jason in both of them.

VII was laughable, so was VIII. Bad, bad, bad.
X was a terrible sucker punch below the belt. Worst of the lot. What were they thinking?

I liked Juwanna Mann and the little boy in part V and that was about it. Part 6 is the only installment I actually consider great. Parts 2, 3, and 4 were all decent. The original I didn't care for, namely because of all the POV shots. I liked the way Halloween did it better, use it once, reveal who the killer is, just show the killer. I know it aided in the twist, but I'm just not a big fan of POV shots.

Me either. One of the main reasons why this franchise is not liked a lot by many horror fans.

And the biggest problem of them all - no matter what Jason did (heck he could even face up to God and chop Him into 16 million pieces), he will always be compared to Michael, and he will end up second everytime.

I always (and by always I mean between the ages of 12 and 15 when I thought it would actually make a good movie) thought that if Michael and Jason were to fight Michael would eventually win but Jason being the brute would put up a fight. But thinking about it now, if Jason fought Rob Zombie's Michael Myers Jason would get demolished. His body can't be that strong it's been rotting for about 20 years.





Wow, just realized I was 12 when Freddy vs Jason was released.

The leaner, meaner Michael would have been no match for Jason's brute strength, no doubt. He would have to depend on his surprise attacks a bit more than sheer strength. The honors would be more even between RZ's Myers and Jason for sure.
I wonder if Ronny Yu is reading this right now.

I remember nothing but the ending of the remake of Friday the 13th so I don't know if the new maybe or maybe not improved Jason is smarter/stronger/faster. I'm also not sure what New Freddy is capable of.

Didn't the new Jason run and chase one of his victims in the remake? Threw an axe or something while running behind that victim? Does that mean a faster, more brutal Jason?

Haven't bothered checking out the new NOES so no idea about new Freddy either.

He threw stuff before, but he did look thinner from what I remember, so he's probably much faster now, especially since he runs. According to my friend Freddy is less playful and more brutal, like instead of making dreams to creep the would-be victims out he just shows them gruesome images and then tortures them to death.

If they actually made a Michael vs Jason vs Freddy film, what would you expect from it?

Let's suppose that Ronny Yu has a brainstorm, and it releases in 2012-2013 thereabouts. Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy, Derek Mears as Jason and Tyler Mane as Michael.

Would you go watch it?

I, unlike many, love the Hell out of Tyler Mane's Michael Myers. I consider this Michael an entire different Michael than the one I grew up with. I'd probably be there the midnight of release, I'd have to catch up on the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street remakes to see where the two are when the movie ended, unless they both end with the villain leaping out at the survivors.

I'd expect something extremely bloody to come from Michael vs Jason vs Freddy. While that's not a selling point for any movie to me, I wouldn't bitch about it. I'd hope if a character from any of the previous films has to return it would be Brackett from Halloween, since y'know, it's Brad Dourif. Technically we'd be seeing Chucky vs Michael vs Freddy vs Jason. :eek:

I wouldn't expect much story-wise, just the characters being the characters.

Hell the gore content alone would sell the film like hot cakes.

And seeing how decent FvJ panned out, I d go with Ronny Yu again as director. The story - well something on the lines of the same, Freddy getting into the brains of both Michael and Jason and letting them loose on Elm Street. Then a mouth-watering encounter between Michael and Jason, followed by the ultimate showdown between all 3 of them.

Wouldn't matter if I loved it or hated it, I WOULD watch it either way.

The one thing I'd hope for this time around-An actual winner.

oh, that would be fun. I'd love to see that. But that thing is I think they would like to go for Jason vs Michael & Freddy vs Michael first before the ultimate part of the trio. Why they wouldn't use those venture as both of them can generate some profits for them?

Anyway, my favorite is Jason always. I want to see him on the winning side every time. :)

Knowing Freddy, there might never be an actual winner unless and until someone took him out first. Maybe our hero/heroine using a spell to make him visible to both Michael and Freddy, who tear him to bits first before taking on each other (after one of them decapitates the hero/heroine, but of course).

Only way to find a winner.

Of course we all would be cheerleading for Michael.

It would be awesome to see the hero bring Freddy into the real world, as they wake up Freddy buries his claw into the hero's chest. That's when he gets up to find Jason staring him down. Michael is mysteriously missing. They begin to fight when suddenly Michael grabs Freddy from behind and begins to slit his throat just as Jason thrusts his machete forward, slicing Michael's side a bit. Then the battle everyone cares about commences!

Nope, I'd be on Jason's side.:)

yep...that would be brilliant.

Kinda reminds me of the climax of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.

Picture the same scene, only at night inside a graveyard or something similarly sinister or eerie, with all 3 of them stalking each other.

SPOILERS FOR FRIDAY THE 13TH AND NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET REMAKES

I looked up the endings for the Friday and Nightmare remakes. Looks like they won't need to explain anything. Both end with their respective icons leaping out at the survivors. So if that movie were to happen they just could zip right past the explanations and onto the Myers stuff before making them meet up. :D

I would rather see the classic villains pitted against each other, because I think there are even MORE similarities between Remake Michael (hereby referred to as RMichael) and RJason. They're not different enough really to make an interesting film so the selling point would be RFreddy. However, if it is done with the remake fellows, I think it could work like this:

I think since FvJ was set mainly in Springwood, it'd be interesting to see the film take place in Haddonfield. I dunno, perhaps there's a sporting event which pits the kids of Haddonfield High against those of Springwood. That would explain how Freddy gets into town. And perhaps Jason discovers that the girl who killed his mother (who I don't think is NAMED in the remake) was from Haddonfield and he goes to take out his anger in the town. As his murders take place, the media assumes Michael is back.

One of the Springwood kids thus has a nightmare about MICHAEL which Freddy invades. He finds out about the new wave of Michael attacks (even though really they're Freddy) and decides to have a bit of fun. Michael is out in the middle of nowhere, surviving as best he can when Freddy invades his dream and tells him just to have a chat. Upon finding Michael in the middle of nowhere, he realises Michael can't be doing the killings. He tells Michael about it all. Michael heads home, Jason is there.

I think that's the basic way of getting the three fellas together in the same spot for the rest of the film to ensue.

Since today is Friday The 13th, I would like to pay a special tribute to Sean.S.Cunningham who gave us one of the best horror fims ever, so on behalf of horror fans everywhere we wish Mr Cunningham a happy Friday the 13th.:)
