Guest utahprowrestler Report post Posted March 13, 2003 I mean c'mon guys....how excited....deep inside are you to see this movie. I sure am, as to the hoping that Freddy kicks Jason's arse! Unless its Uber-Jason (aka. The new Jason from Jason X). In that case, then Freddy would have a good fight. Post some feedback.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted March 13, 2003 After years or rumors that went nowhere I try to contain my excitement. Also i don't want to be overly excited about it because being overly hyped about a movie usually means you won't enjoy it as much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted March 13, 2003 Has the release date been set? I know I'm excited. I love horror films. Good, bad and otherwise. This is like the 80's version of Frankenstein vs. Dracula! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted March 13, 2003 Right now they're talking August 15th for a release date. They were going to show the trailer with Final Destination 2, but then pushed the movie back and are now showing it with Willard. Meaning not near as many people will see it. I'll enjoy the movie as long as the Destiny's Child girl dies...I am tired of hip hop and R&B musicians being the heroes in horror movies, it's too predictable. I still say they should've used Kane Hodder for Jason, since Jason's only advantage is that he's so much bigger then Freddy. Screw job finish though, cause I doubt either franchise will agree to lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wwF1587 Report post Posted March 13, 2003 im excitted as well but i just have the feeling it wont meet expectations and will be disappointing... oh well i wont set my hopes too high to avoid disappointments...... wait a sec... I will be on vacation in August... FUDGE!... i will find my way to the nearest movie theater somehow though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SP-1 Report post Posted March 13, 2003 I'm SO there. In a way, even if it's awful I'll still love it because I regard Freddy and Jason as creatures of the popcorn movie anyway. If I can sit and make fun of it and laugh and just be nostalgic than I'll be more than satisfied with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lethargic Report post Posted March 13, 2003 See the interview with Ronny Yu in Rue Morgue? The things in this interview pretty confirm the suckiness of this thing. Here's a few quotes: "I think of the film more about Freddy than Jason." "We also have a great TRIPLE ENDING in the film." "I think of this as the first film in a series, not the 20th. We're kind of forgetting everything that's happened before and starting from scratch while at the same time showing flash backs... like a refresher. Everyone knows who Freddy and Jason are so we wanna make a film for the masses, not the hardcore fans who might remember some detail from a sequel 10 years ago." So what that tells me is that this is just a Freddy movie with Jason thrown in and I couldn't give a shit about seeing another Freddy movie, that the movie isn't being made for me...it's being made for Destiny Child's fans and that there will be no ending. It'll be left open for sequels. So what's the point? Maybe Vince McMahon will come out and ring the bell during the big fight, that'd be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JMA Report post Posted March 13, 2003 Jason never really had a very good backstory. It was full of retcons and revisions. In Friday the 13th part 2 it was revealed that Jason never died. That he had survived by eating plants and animals. The reason he became a killer was because he saw his mother decapitated. Many sequels came out with Jason getting stabbed to death and coming back again. This got to be so common that he was turned into some kind of zombie. Nightmare on Elm Street was good if you ignore the whole cop-out ending. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted March 13, 2003 I am quite the horror-buff, so I will be seeing this film mostly for nostalgia reasons, although it is starring a girl from Destiny's Child, it may make it a harder decision.(nah, I'll still see it). Ihope they do this film right though, and keep it DARK. I don't want it to feel like a SCREAM or a IKWYDLS film, just with Freddy/Jason instead of the Scream guy.

Many sequels came out with Jason getting stabbed to death and coming back again. This got to be so common that he was turned into some kind of zombie. I've seen the Friday movies a million times. I don't remember anything in part 2 that explained that at all. I know that's the speculation and the truth and yes he's still alive up until he gets zombiefied in part 6, but I don't remember that ever actually being revealed and explained in the movie. It was just something you had to figure out for yourself in between the lines. Something that most people don't even understand still to this day. Most people think he came back from the dead right then and think that Part 6...well, he came back AGAIN. I think Jason has the best backstory out of any of the big 3 or 4 current horror guys. I don't see any revisions. Up until Jason Goes to Hell, those movies had some of the best continuity of any horror series. I mean look at Halloween. TWO of the movies had continuity. 2 out of 8. Friday the 13th had one movie that didn't follow continuity and the established universe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2003 Lethargic, I've got to disagree with you. Halloween 4 kept the same basic storyline from parts 1 & 2, although Jamie Lee's character was written out. 5 was a cop out, 6 just sucks, H20 completely disregards 4-6.

The Dames 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2003 Well, you say that only the first 2 carry continuity, when it in fact is the first 4 (not including part 3) Part 6 just takes everything in a whole new direction and H20, well, you know...Laurie Strode forgot she had a daughter.

I think it is when the counselers are sitting around a camp fire. One of them tells the story and mentions that Jason is still alive; that he survived by eating vegetation and animals.

The last two Halloween movies which completely shit on the original in the first place both had rappers just to draw in younger people (to an R rated movie none the less)...and right fromt he start of the movie you know that the person will not die... My main problem with horror movies is that none of the good guys give you any kind of reason that you should care for them. I wanted everyone dead in the last two Halloweens, I think it hurts the movie when you can call even before it starts who's going to live. Also bugged me about Jamie Lee doing those, cause they won't kill her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted March 17, 2003 The Friday the 13th series would have been highly more respected by me if it had ended with Part 4(The Final Chapter) The machete through the head(slow motion style) was killer. Although there were some classic moments later on in the series, part 4 would have been a good place to stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I much prefer the original and part two. They were the most realistic. I also think the hockey mask was overused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
