The concept is very simple, just pick your favorite "Friday The 13th" movie part, and then do you best to watch it on Friday night February 13th.
I'm definitely planning on watching part 2 with Amy Steel and Kirsten Baker. I'm usually all about the original when it comes to movies, but I actually saw part 2 first and didn't see the Bacon original until years later.
Friday The 13th
Which part do you dare watch? Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
When?
Are you waiting for Friday the 13th in February?
Did you see my posting on the social club?
Adrienne King is going to be directing a new movie with....Danielle Harris, Dee Wallace and Heather Langenkamp, and she'll be in it too....it's on the main page of movie web.
Adrienne just emailed me, and said how excited she is about the whole thing.
I definately was planning to watch both Friday the 13th part 1 and part 2 on Feb. 13th.

Wow! So cool. I actually drove on that same road, and was at that Lake and was at that diner and in that town.
It is sad that Laurie Bartram- died last year...she's the one that gets killed by the bow and arrow.

Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
I preordered the Friday the 13th Blu-ray last week and they are promising it by Feb. 3rd.
I wish Part 2 was on Blu-ray, it appears to be released only in Europe for now though. Kind of like "The Goonies" only being released in Europe and Japan....huh?
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Okay, I have the original all set to go on Blu-ray and my fav part 2 not Blu, but a must see. Also, I noticed HDNet movies has part 3 to part 8 starting at 8pm est time Friday night.
So my plan is to record them to my DVR and have a Friday the 13th HD extravaganza. Also, don't forget if you get tired, there is another Friday the 13th in March.
Is anyone going to the theater at midnight tonight to watch the new Friday the 13th flick?
Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
You know I saw the previews again for the new Friday the 13th...and I want to know..where in the original did someone have a handgun? I saw a preview with someone shooting someone with a hand gun. Who takes hand guns camping? Maybe a shot gun...but this is what is stupid...Friday the 13th is a slasher movie- Jason never killed anyone with a gun....did he? There were no guns.
They supposedly used Betsy Palmer's voice in the new one, without her consent, and she had a big time problem with that. She has never watched any of the other Friday the 13th movies, she said when she did Friday the 13th, she came up with a background story about herself, and why she was so crazed about her son drowning, and she wants to keep her own story as the reason for what happened...so she doesn't want that ruined by watching the others.

We're going to the midnight showing of the new one. I'll post later.......

Cindy-I was telling 2 different people about our trip today, it was fun remembering it again, and thinking about how much fun we had. Cindymancini took that picture of me and our other friend on the bridge. I had such a blast. It was fun driving around in the woods and thinking about..that at one time, Jason was running around out there. The only thing we saw though were a bunch of deer, and a big flock of peac0cks, and we saw a bunch of kids out on canoes in one part of the park.
We did get lost once, it is way back in the woods.
I actually had a guest who stayed here at the B & B, and he told me he went to that Boy Scout camp back in the 60's. He never even knew it was connected to a horror movie.
It is very deja vuish when you go to a place you have seen in a movie...you feel like you have been there before.
I am going to try and watch it tomorrow night. I have 4 B & B couples coming this weekend, so I am going to be busy, but I want to see it.
Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
I don't think I have ever gone to a Midnight showing of any movie...I don't even know if I'd be able to stay awake that late any more... Posted by Pyromantic (Member # 7658) on :
Buddy of mine is bringing me along to see the new one tommorow night...don't know if I'm excited about it or not though..*shrugs*..i guess there;s no hurt in giving it a go.
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
New one was pretty good I thought. The theater we went to was sold out and they were having to seat people. That's one thing that p!ssess me off about a sold out show. We all go to the trouble to get there early to get good seats only to be asked to scoot over by the theater manager at 11:55 pm because some late azzed people. Needless to say we laughed when they asked us to scoot over. Not bein mean but if you want good seats there's a reason the theater is opened early........
Posted by journey (Member # 7316) on :
I caught the new Friday the 13th yesterday also. I thought it was pretty decent, but nothing particularly original or genre-bending. The first 10-15 mins. (consisting of 2 flashback sequences) were especially great - full-throttle action - after that, it settles into more conventional slasher territory. I enjoyed it overall.
Posted by Pyromantic (Member # 7658) on :
Yeah...It was a decent flick...nothing really new or shocking though.
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
Has anyone saw the Blu-Ray version of the original yet? I was wanting to hear some things on it before I decided to buy it. I'm really suprised parts 2 and 3 are being released so soon after the original........
Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
Motley-How did Friday the 13th compare to My Bloody Valentine? Since you liked them both, I am curious, because you know I hated My Bloody Valentine, so since you saw it, you can pretty much guess from that-if I would even like Friday the 13th even slightly...what do you think that I would think of it?
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
I liked Friday the 13th better but you'd probably be better off waiting to rent it because I highly doubt you'd like it.........
Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
Ok.....I had planned on waiting, I just wondered which one was better, or if they were similiar-I did hear that the new one has a ton of nudity in it.
I heard it got ok reviews.
But, my thing about the whole new Friday the 13th ...is why remake the original, and try and change the original...if they are going to make more movies, make sequels- and make them better than the last sequels.
The remake...my son said he read that half way through it Jason has the potato sack on his head, and then towards the end he gets the hockey mask.
The way it originated in the beginning, was what made that all work, and made it become as big as it is. When you cram all that in to 1 movie-then that makes it something totally different.
I watched Friday the 13th part 2 last night. I have never understood this...
How come Mrs. Voorhees thought Jason drown? If he really didn't?
The beginning of Friday the 13th (the original) starts in 1958- in a flash back scene- where the 2 counselors are killed at the beginning. Then they shut the camp down, then the Christies reopen it, and that's when the movie starts- but that is in 1980- which is 22 years later.
The Jason that pops up and grabs Adrienne King at the end of part 1, is he suppose to be like the ghost of the little boy who died in 1958? I never quite understood that...or if your really not suppose to think about it too deeply, because the more sequels they made- he was immortal.
But, in the first one-it's the mother who's the real killer, so that felt realistic, and then in part 2- Jason is the killer- but I always thought he was real- and had survived, and just lived in the woods all that time. That made it scary to me, that someone was living in the woods waiting to kill people.
When they get in to him being immortal in the other movies...then that takes the scariness out of it, and makes it dumb...that's why I never liked the sequels.

Motley,
It's well worth picking up the Blu-ray. The PQ for the most part is very impressive. There are a few soft scenes here and there, but it doesn't detract too much from the viewing experience.
The extras are all worth watching -- although probably only once.
The 5.1 TrueHD audio is also fairly impressive and adds to the overall atmosphere.
NB -- I don't know whether you're aware of this, but the image has been zoomed in by at least 10%. A lot of people are upset by this, but I can't say that it hindered my viewing of the movie at all.

I've had this same argument with rabid Friday fans a few times. My question is, if Jason didn't really drown, then where did he go? He popped up on the shore and just decided - with his mentally challenged little boy brain - to abscond off into the woods and live by himself? Why wouldn't he just go back to his mom? I think it's the biggest plot hole in the whole series, even more so than having him bounce between mortal, half mortal and complete immortal over the course of various sequels (which, you're absolutely right, destroys any credibility the series had left).
Here's the only valid explanation I can come up with (and it's a stretch):
Jason nearly drown as a child, but did survive. Mrs. Voorhees hides him away in a cabin she owns in the woods, far away from society because of her paranoid belief that they will hurt him. She lets everyone just think that he died and goes on with her job. But she still blames the teenage counselors for leaving him unattended and - ostensibly - for torturing and ridiculing him for being deformed and retarded. So she gets revenge a year later by murdering the two teens in the flashback scene. And she commits a series of vandalisms (starting the fires and contaminating the water supply) in an effort to prevent the camp from reopening, and attracting more people that might hurt her son. Things quiet down after that and she is able to raise Jason in the woods without the threatening presence of any interlopers, but as the years go by she grows increasingly more paranoid and psychotic. Then, Steve Christy comes along and decides to reopen his parent's old summer camp. He is undetered by the acts of vandalism, the eerie bad luck, and the omnious warnings of the townspeople. Mrs. Voorhees can't scare him off as easily as she did his parents, so she infiltrates the camp, taking a job there instead. Seeing firsthand all the capricious teenagers with their drugs, their fornicating, their callousness, etc. is more than she can take and she has a complete psychotic break. She goes on a rampage as evidenced by the events of Part 1. When she reveals to Alice about her son that "drown" because of the negligent counselors, she is speaking from the point of view of a mentally ill person who is having trouble distinguishing fantasy from reality. And when she is decapitated by Alice at the end of the first film, we are to believe that Jason, now fully grown, is hiding in the woods watching this. Up to this point he's been living as a relatively non-violent deformed recluse, but seeing his mother - the only person he's had human contact with for over 20 years and the only person he loves and trusts - get killed (by another teenager no less), sets him off on his own murderous rampage.
As for the kid that pops out of the lake and pulls her out of the boat at the end, it is meant to be the "ghost" of the drown little boy as imagined by Alice in her nightmares.

Now i love the friday 13th films but one thing i have thought about over the years is what does Jason do when there is no one around to kill? Does he have a nice little cabin in the woods that he lives in keeping himself to himself,you know comuning with nature etc.
Posted by buffalo-girl (Member # 7498) on :
could be mike? i wonder if he has a garden where he plants veggies? lol Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
Journey-That is exactly what I have made up to be what I think happened with Jason.
Because in Part 2-Amy Steel (Ginny) is talking about how Jason must have seen the whole thing happen....he absolutely had to- because he went and gathered up her head, and put it in his cabin as a table centerpiece. Didn't the police ever wonder where her head went to?
I guess you can't totally put alot of thought in to it, but the storyline is very cool, up until it becomes an impossible thing to have happened.
They did that with Halloween too. The first one is really good, because he gets up and is gone after everything they went through to kill him, so that is really scary...but after they burn him up in Part 2...that should have been the end. I liked John Carpenter's whole original idea...of what he wanted the Halloween movies to be, and that's where he got part 3- he wanted to make a horror movie that took place at Halloween- but were totally unrelated to each other. I think they could do that all the time. There's so much cool stuff you can do to scare people at Halloween anyway...that it would be easy to make story lines up.
Posted by Mike. (Member # 7179) on :
I meen even a serial killer needs some time for a bit of R+R.
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
It was an impossible thing to happen after about the first 10 bodies. Rocket scientists don't write these types of movies that's obvious. Just enjoy them for what they are......
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Nothing like "Friday the 13th: Part 2" for the second Friday the 13th in two months!
Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
Are you watching it tonight?
My son said we should have bought Friday the 13th part 1 on Blu-Ray when it was almost 60% off on Amazon. I actually wish I would have done that.
I think Friday the 13th part 3-would be cool on Blu-Ray with the 3D stuff- does anyone know if it's out yet?
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
Part 2 is out on Blu-ray but I'm thinking part 3 comes out in July?. I was browsing Best Buy the other day and noticed they had released Friday 13th Part 3 on regular dvd in 3-d though. The package I saw had the 3-d glasses with it......
Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
Yes, I have seen that version.
I want to get:
Friday the 13th-His name was Jason. I think that will be my next purchase.
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
It's back!
As stated above: Friday the 13th: Part 2 is my fav of the bunch.
Which is your fav?
Posted by There'll be no morning for us (Member # 5804) on :
1 and 5 are my faves Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Part 2 is my Part 1 ... I appreciate the six degrees of Kevin Bacon, but part 2 is where Jason became the infamous killer. Plus, I really like the role Amy Steel played as the heroine!
Why Part 5?
I think my second fav is Part 4 with Kimberly Beck and Corey Feldman..
Posted by J2ME (Member # 5728) on :
Part 2 was my favourite. That's what I'll be watching tonight.
Posted by Devolution (Member # 1731) on :
Devolution here,
I think I documented this whole thing along time ago.
Part 4 is my favorite then part 7 part 6 part 1 Freddy vs Jason Jason X part 2 part 3 part 5 part 8 part 9
I couldn't figure where the new one would go, I oddly really liked that one. I think it's because he was "Real" all over again. Not brought back for the 70th time.
