I hadn't seen FvJ since it was released but watched it again on Netflix a few weeks ago and I didn't hate it. There are some very dated bits and some things suck but it was entertaining enough. Shame there was never a sequel.

Would take forever to get going with them just walking slowly after eachother.

Not if its Jason from the remake.
I wonder if Jamie Lee Curtis would be down for one more go?

Predators coming to Camp Crystal Lake during the wrong summer. Or they kidnap Jason and drop him on a planet alone, and see how many Predators he can kill.
Nope. Reason she did Resurrection was so she could die and never return.
I still remember hearing stories about how the X-Files producers would regularly contact the 'prolific members' of the biggest X-Filesfan forum to run story ideas past them and see what they liked.
Madness.

She accepted the role in part 8 to be killed off. So who knows. For an event like her... brother fighting an undead hockeymasking killer, you could hope at least. Tommy Jarvis and Laurie Strode teaming up.

Nah, that remake was great.
For a remake based on a shitty, trashy series of horror movies (that I love).
At least when compared to its contemporaries in the horror remake department (besides maybe the Evil Dead remake, which wasnt bad).
Isn't he though? dude can't really die.
I think he ran in part 2 and part 3. The 'no running' thing didn't start till part 6 when he came back to life like Frankenstein.
The original movie nails what the character should've been. It's all up in the air, all we really know is he was evil.
I simply meant for a "Freddy vs Jason" environment, the sequel iteration of Michael would fit right in.
That's what Sigourney Weaver said for Alien 3, but ya know....alien Resurrection. Money Talks.
I guess it's kind of fun to laugh off Harry Knowles now, but he wielded huge influence 20 years ago, and more importantly he was always really impressed with even mediocre genre films. The dude turned several indie horror movies into big sensations, so it makes sense that studio executives would want to butter him up.
He was pretty much the easily-bought YouTube influencer of his era, when you think about it.

That's why Marvel and DC never return your calls.
Edit: So I can blame PewDiePie for Five Nights at Freddy's?
and that is why comics is dying and it's corpse being mined for tv and movies
Really? You liked the remake huh, I thought it was an absolute mess.
Guy playing Jason was great though.
I had high hopes for it since I really liked the Texas Saw remake.

Lame. Ash means that he's the defacto face of the film. I would have preferred a 3 way heel triple threat.

I dunno about that. I went as Army of Darkness Ash one year to a halloween party and I got the most random high fives I've ever gotten.

Niespel and Daniel Pearl re-teaming and that was the result. Disappointing.
A lot of it worked (like Jason) but using character archetypes of the 80s (girl with being boobs, rich asshole jock etc) wasn't needed for a "gritty" reboot. Friday the 13th doesn't need to keep that baggage. Especially not, after TCM2003 had such a great gallery of "real" characters
They should have just made a soft reboot set in Crystal Lake during winter.

Love the comics.

I think that's an overinflation of Knowles' power during the wild west days. Blair Witch was a phenomenon for reasons that had not much to do with Aint It Cool.
The notion of him being "the original influencer" I agree with, but I'm not feeling like crediting Blair Witch blowing up to his bullshit. He didn't do that much.
Studios absolutely swooped in and paid that man off with the quickness, though.
Look, I'm all for some nudity in my horror movies but this was just too much, almost to the point of me walking out.
I was also suprised to see Sam from Supernatural.
I feel like Blair Witch and the sequel has a powerful lesson to learn, I just can't figure out what. And they forgot that lesson with the "Remake" last year
It was "the best of the three" of F13, NMoLS, and halloween. F13 was never great to me anyway though.

What baffled me with the second Blair Witch movie was that they hire Joe Berlinger to direct, known for making some pretty damn good documentaries, and he doesn't even do it in mocumentary/found footage style. Like, wut?

I like it in the context of what it is.
Its not high art. Its not even a good movie. But as a trashy slasher reboot, it was great.
Jason was imposing and brutal. The teens were ignorant and horny. The hero girl was virginal and tough. Thats pretty much every Friday movie in a nutshell.
My only real disappointments were that the kills werent all that imaginative (other than the blonde dick getting impaled on the back of the truck that then drives away with his corpse dangling on it), and the whole plot about the hero girl being locked away because she looked like Jasons mother seemed unnecessary and caused the movie to drag.
A huge WTF in so many

Medium is more healthy and diverse than its been in years. Marvel and DC are withering because of bad management, and creative issues.
Something like Saga, or The Walking Dead could never have come from the big (but shrinking) 2.
Think about that and while you're at it, try reading a better class of comic, instead of clinging hopefully to Pajama Police.
Jokes, how do they work?

I rented a VHS with two episodes of Freddy's Nigtmares (with the pilot and the episode with the female runner on it) when I was little, and thought it was the weirdest Nightmare on Elm Street-movie ever. My friends wouldn't believe me when I told them about it.
The covers for these tapes were my first introduction to Freddy Krueger. I used to go to a rental store and just look at these covers and thinking what kinds of horrors there might be.
I only saw the actual episodes after I had seen all of the movies. Seeing parts 3 and 1 the first I wonder how I might've felt about the character had I seen the Freddy's Nightmare series before any of the movies. They certainly were more like Elm Street 4-6 than 1-3 in the way Freddy was there mostly just as a comedian.
But damn those covers were haunting when I was a kid.
Oh, just remembered I actually thought they were about some Freddy having some nightmares where he looks burned, lol

come on, don't be a total cocksmith.
Yeah.
Then they did the sequel comic which was pure, distilled fan service. <3 Got just about every survivor they could from all the Nightmare and Friday movies together in one story.

That was the plan, but it fell through and hence the movie never happened.
A treatment was written. Bruce and Sam met with the studio. It came close.
