Yes, Part 3 is the one where the first ever non-white characters in an F13 film appear... and they're two gang members and one poor Mexican who tries to pay with food stamps at a gas station. It also features a sex scene and nudity from only one girl... and she's pregnant, which the movie seems to have forgotten about by the time she's in the shower or getting killed via machete through the tit. And it ignores the fact that Jason had been damn near split in half the night before, he acts like nothing's wrong. And it makes Jason look completely different from Part 2, for no real reason. And it has a distasteful rape-ish backstory for the Final Girl. And it's all filmed in shitty 3D which mostly consists of such incredibly lazy shit of someone holding a stick up towards the camera, ooh, exciting. And they didn't even try to explain why Jason was killing these new people. And it had the annoying fat guy. And the gore looked like crap. Part 3 blew. Yes, it was. It was one of the few Friday the 13ths that didn't take itself so damn seriously, it poked fun at itself. Plus you got stuff that the rest of the movies just never showed, like Jason walking around in daylight, or actual children inhabiting the kid's summer camp.

That one Austin vs. Undertaker match on Raw in 1999, where Austin won the belt back. Yes, it drew a rating of fifty trillion viewers. But the PPVs both the month before and the month after that match both had Austin vs. Taker for their main events. And the match on free TV was the only one with a clean finish! If I'd bought those PPVs, I could imagine being pretty pissed off about that. Every Iron Man match they've ever done on free TV. Why? Considering that you've got more time, more buildup, and no commercial breaks to interrupt, those hour-long matches should be PPV exclusives.

I'm just waiting for a Marvin vs. Narcolectic Jumper cripple fight. Such a thing would make me laugh for days.

Looking at the listings, am I alone in thinking that part 6 was an entertaining hilarity and that part 3 was lazy crap? I know I'm in the minority on my feeling of 8>7, but I don't understand the viewpoint of 3>6.

Aw, c'mon, if that's not fulfilling the American dream, what is?

links please you dirty perv

The IC belt is one of those situations where you can really tell the WWE is booked by committee. They go back and forth between really caring about it (having former main eventers and mega-over superstars like Hardy fight for it), and then not giving the tiniest shit about it (the belt hasn't been defended at all on the last three Wrestlemanias).

Ah, global warming. Behind abortion and the War, the next most likely subject to hijack any thread it gets mentioned in and run rampant over the next several pages. How 'bout we just ignore that we stepped on that landmine and move on? I've got a book I checked out from the library just for the amusing title: Sweet Jesus, I HATE Bill O'Reilly! I figure anything named that must have at least a couple of laughs in it, one way or another.

I can vouch for this guy. I've ordered from him, and you can't beat his crazy low prices. A nice selection of Japanese stuff, with more older obscure footage than you'll find on some websites. The only drawback is delivery can be kinda slow, took me two or three weeks to get my order, but I guess that's the price of getting $3 dvds.

It's a fair cop, I suppose. Narc, shut up.

I loved most of it, but mark me down as another one who just didn't get the ending. I watched it on my computer, and when the movie ended I literally thought I'd gotten a bad stream. It wasn't until I did a little research that I discovered, yes, that WAS the real ending. Whatever the antonym of "satisfying" is, that describes my reaction to the movie from the point when through the oddly abrupt ending. Also didn't like that they seemed to completely forget about , since it was treated as being so important for the rest of the movie, but we never find out what ultimately happened to it.

I'm sorry Czech, what's your argument here? That Israel isn't surrounded by enemies and that it hasn't fought several defensive wars against invasions? Or that America hasn't been the number one ally of Israel in helping them to do so? A totally isolationist policy might sound good in theory, but there are just too many people around the world who rely on American aid for survival. Paul's plan seems to basically be "FUCK 'em, they should've thought of that before they decided to get born in a third-world hellhole". I understand the appeal of not risking the lives of our troops, believe me, I understand it better than you imagine. But Paul's strategy isn't just America First, it's America Only. Come to think of it, what's his position on the USA being the #1 supplier of monetary foreign aid and disaster relief?

Don't get me started. I've written reviews for the entire series. If the gleeful F13 nerdiness continues, then I'm posting all of them here.

Forget those places, what about Israel? If that country wasn't strongly backed up by American support, they would most likely not even exist. After all, since its creation they've consistently fought off more invasions and terrorism than any other nation on the planet, all with American aid. If we completely cut off all our support, say goodbye to Israel, say hello to Holocaust 2: Electric Chair Boogaloo. I do like some of Paul's ideas a lot, the reasonable and practical stuff like keeping Congress from constantly voting itself pay raises or ending the pointless and costly war on drugs. But damn he's got some goofy stuff to go along with those. I still don't see how eliminating the Fed is supposed to make things better.

Actually I guess I should retract that one, since I didn't see the remake. I just assumed since it was a remake of a Carpenter flick, it was shite. Hell, even Carpenter can't successfully remake his own stuff: see Escape From L.A. Yeah, how about the techno-slut doing her quasi-robot dance in the room before she is slaughtered? Campy goodness!!! Still, the gore sucked and "Jason" was just a copycat. Plus, the howling hillbillies Ethel and Junior are about the most terrifying and least funny "comic relief" of all time. Dude, didn't you read all the reviews I posted back home? The F13 series has the WORST attention to continuity of all time. Practically every one of those movies acts like the majority of the others never happened. Don't even try to make sense of it, not even in a joking manner. That way madness lies.

I love readhing Narc attempting to fight with Nightwing. It's like watching a hyperactive kitten trying to catch a flashlight beam. Anxiously awaiting more diatribe about how Paul will save us from the Illuminati.

That's not a fair comparison. We're talking about the recent spree of remakes over the past few years, while those happened over two decades ago. Plus, those were both made by legitimate auteurs with artistic talent (well, Cronenberg moreso than Carpenter), while all these new flicks are being made by MTV hacks who have zero understanding of the artform and are strictly in it for the money. This sounds like fun. FvJ, 6, 1, 2, 4, X, 8, 7, 3, 5, GtH I've thought since high school that it would be interesting to do a sort of avant-garde reimagining of Jason. Not something like all the modern remakes, something more along the lines of what Batman Begins turns out to be. Of course the source material is much weaker, but that gives you much more room to experiment.

What? Aw, shit.

We need a rule of Internet Debating which states "in any case that one poster claims that another is jealous of them, the chances of that statement being false are almost always 100%". Besides, Matt, it took you two years to build up those biceps? Jesus. My muscles are just as big, the difference being that they're coated in an extra layer of flab. But I could get rid of that with a bottle of internet-bought ephedrine and a month on the rowing machine. Two years?! Man, that's sad, you must be like Evan Starsmore skinny naturally. FITE ME U PSER! Matt Young wants all us guys to check out his dick? Yeah he's sooo straight. That's what I was wondering too. Has his own board now. Only wrestling discussion allowed. Real nerdy. Yes, so nerdy that I post there. Your kind pretty much suck all the energy out of the world, what with being attention whores and only connecting on a physical level. True life energy is about a man and woman... not Wang on Wednesday, then Snatch on Friday. Plus, your kind usually is ruled by only your self-gratification. Your kind is truly killing this world on a physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual level. He's right about bi people being shat on by damn near everyone. The straights think they're just confused kids who don't want to accept they're gay, and the gays think they're just pretentious straights who want to have the "coolness" benefits of being gay while still not giving up their love for the opposite gender. It's staggering how many people believe that bisexuality doesn't truly exist, despite it having been more or less proven and accepted by the psychiatric community by this point. Yoink.

EHME vs. Matt is what I'd imagine a Colin Delaney vs. SD Jones match to feel like.

He is right about moderating being more like work than play. We fairly constantly get these "make me a mod!" campaigns, and anyone who's ever been one usually just rolls their eyes. Look at it this way: how many people who were mods a few years ago are still mods now? You'd think that would give folks an idea of how much fun it is. Quiet, Leena.

So what do you do every time something blatantly homosexual goes down? Even aside from the fairly hilarious gay overtones, part 2 is just a bad movie. The way they tried to change the formula from the first one was lame; Freddy was a truly original bogeyman, killin' you in your sleep and all. In part 2 he did the same shit as a thousand other demons in a thousand movies about people getting possessed. Thankfully, part 3 did indeed right the ship and then some.

Or you could go over to the Pit and whine about getting picked on. Right, Jingster? Asshole! (see? like that)

Yes, tragically, that is correct. Because he did such a GREAT job with the two new Texas Chainsaw flicks, don't ya know. I suppose these horror remakes actually make money, sadly enough. I mean, shit, how many have there been? Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Chainsaw prequel, The Hills Have Eyes, THHE 2, The Fog, Assault on Precinct 13, Halloween, When a Stranger Calls, The Wicker Man... ugh... probably several more I'm forgetting. And exactly ONE of them, Dawn of the Dead, has been any good at all.

I've got some great material about airline food, and what the deal with it is. Gimme my talk show.
