 Day 70


January 7th, 2024


Today I was zoned in on Mark’s arc yet again. Why does he think he brother committed suicide? He admits that his brother told him about a dream with Freddy because it was the “same” one Lori had. Plus his brother also told him that fear gives Freddy his powers. But yet he doesn’t understand why his brother’s obituary was blacked out. 


You would think that Mark would have realized with the blacked out obituaries that Freddy was how his brother died. I know I’ve talked about this before, but the more I watch the more that I understand that his role was the most important one of the film.


I am also curious to how Mark ended up in Westin Hills. 


I do like the nod to the original elm street with the bars on the windows at Mark’s house. 


Do his parents know he escaped or do they not live in that house anymore? 


Oh well these are the topics I dwell on.

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.
