Day 115: Movie titles.

 Day 115


February 22nd, 2024


Let's roll that beautiful bean footage!


In today's never-ending battle between Freddy and Jason, it's time to point out the elephant in the room. The movie was never about Freddy and Jason fighting. The title is misleading. 


The gist of the movie is Freddy needing to return because people have forgotten about him. He could have used anyone to return but chose Jason without realizing his plan was flawed. His plan was flawed because he chose someone who also kills for sport. At the same time, Freddy was wise to choose Jason simply because he would get blamed for his murders. 


How much longer would have Fredrick been able to get away with Jason’s murders is a plot hole, IMO. If Freddy had allowed Jason to kill while racking up those fear points, he could have returned even more potent than he believed. Freddy could have fed off the fear of the police and taken them out one by one in a systematic way, leaving Freddy in a lawless and helpless town.


With Freddy, he gets greedy and wants everything at once handed to him. He wants the power, the fear of those in the town, and people to pay for what they did to him. He would have been better positioned to battle Jason if he had lied low. He would have been in a better position to take over the town of Springwood if he had just put greed aside and obtained power.


It was never about fighting Jason; it was about using him as a stepping stone. Ultimately, Freddy chose the wrong helper. Greed always wins in the end, so Freddy fails in his plans. Jason was just there doing what he does well: murder, death, kill!


Then again, most movie titles are misleading.

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

One hundred and nine days of agony!

  Day 109 February 16th, 2024 Hi Jethro! Today is a simple day of recollection. I did watch the movie but I wanted to pivot again from writing about the film and any crackpot theories I may have as my sanity slowly slips away into the abyss called Crystal Lake. I haven't been in the best of moods all week and I continue writing daily because I find it to be cathartic. I am not a fan of the Hallmark holiday and I am not a fan of the blood work results I received. One would think that I should just abandon the project and shift focus to myself. What if I were to simply ride the wave of consistency and start making changes for myself? After all, this is my one go at life and I would be pretty pissed if it came to an abrupt ending. I have battled MS for 25 years come March 10th. I also battle other ailments in life due to that and well, being lazy and not taking care of myself.  My father had his first heart attack at 42. We managed to get an additional 19 years, almost twenty before h

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
