On the 45th day...

Day 45. 


Before we get the day started, I found a nice nod in the movie to sackhead Jason. In what would be a third dream sequence, this happens when Freddy wants to dig a little deeper into Jason's thoughts. We are taken to the day when he drowns, and you see the kids teasing Jason. The kids are harsh to Jason and end up putting a burlap sack on his head. I'm sure this has been seen before by countless others and identified as a nod to Friday the 13th, Part 2, but I noticed something new. As my friend Jason put it, he is amazed after 56 viewings that I can find new things. 56 may be an overall accurate amount of views I have in this cinematic gem. Ha ha!


I was asked why I chose this film for the project. I may have mentioned it before, but growing up, I was terrified of Freddy and Jason, the things that go bump in the night, or my vivid imagination. It took me until I was in my teens to overcome the fear. So, I saw this as a nice nod to my childhood. Confronting those fears of fictional characters as an adult. 


There still is one character that scares the bejesus out of me, and that would be Tim Curry's performance as Pennywise. The other day, I saw he may have been on the price is right and went down the rabbit hole only to scare myself.


Onto the main event of the day.


Party to forget.


This is a scene to forget. Kia, Lori, and Gibb are leaving for the rave, and Gibb mentioned that she is ready to forget. Another pointless scene. Nothing to write home about here.

Day 51

Day 51 December 20th, 2023  So again, I am just watching the movie for the sake of watching it. As much as I want to review more deleted scenes or sequences today, I am not feeling it. I am starting to wonder if this will take a toll on me mentally. It is like a daily chore like brushing your teeth or showering just to watch it. I know that I have a lot going on outside of watching the film, and seasonal depression is probably kicking in if you couldn't tell from some of the anti-Christmas stuff I was saying yesterday. For the record, I once liked Christmas, then I saw how dysfunctional my family became after my father passed away, and we were able to only get a handful of good Christmas Eve nights. It started going downhill after I had my colon resection. I do blame myself for the start of the decline. I ripped my brother's family a new hole because I took all my pain out on them. This was when I grew less fond of letting the kids do whatever they wanted. I did not yell at the

Day 100

Day 100 February 7th, 2024 Is it over? I will be the first to admit that the first 100 days were tough. It all seems easy on paper but in practice this sucks. I feel like I could have applied myself to something better and something that could improve my overall mental state along with my health. Instead, I do the opposite and strangely I am somewhat okay with that. Theories... Theories... Theories. I have written quite a few theories about this movie and to be honest that is what is making the project fun. The movie is pretty much cut and dry but for me to survive I have to look into the film and find some deeper meaning towards certain aspects. Do I honestly feel that some of the crackpot theories I’ve written hold some weight, yes. It is my opinion of things and how I see them and in ways envisioned them and interpreted them. I feel that being able to express them in a medium that I prefer it is allowing me to enjoy what I am doing. Someday I’d like to adventure into a podcast about

Pee Wee

  Day338 October 2, 2024 I loved the Pee Wee Herman reference in the film with the line, "I know you are but what am I?" It was a humorous and nostalgic moment that added a touch of lightheartedness to the scene.
