 Day 50 


December 19th 2023


The commentary is not very insightful to the movie at all; it is just Robert Englund controlling the conversation. I would pay to listen to him just speak for hours about the nightmare films. He is very insightful and has a great dedication to the character. He did kind of confirm my theory of multiple Freddy’s, but he went on to mention that each different makeup was just Freddy getting pissed off more and more throughout the movie. I can see that through the makeup and how it just evolves throughout the film, so in reality, there are not multiple Freddys in the movie. I’m kind of bummed that they are not multiple Freddy Krueger.


I decided to use dictation today, and man, it’s like doing a commentary track for myself. I guess you can say I am evolving, maybe possibly doubtful. I’m glad I got to today because it’s been a struggle getting in showings as of late between being busy with work and the holidays. I’m waiting for the holidays to be over because I think Christmas is overrated. Christmas does bring joy for many, but I feel it also highlights sadness and missing something. I suppose it’s never easy during this time of the year, and that’s why I am personally not a fan of it. This is why I want to celebrate Halloween this month. Oh wait, I did that in September thru October. I guess I could celebrate Festivus.


Back to the commentary. I do like how they kind of confirm that Jason Ritter was the final girl and the hero of the film. This is enough for today, and I will be back at this tomorrow.


Robert does confirm that he likes Wes Craven‘s New Nightmare. When I met Robert, we had a small but brief conversation about that film. I was mad that I did not get the typical time with him that he gives the fans, but I feel someday I will get that, and we will talk FVJ. BTW, New Nightmare is such an underrated movie. I wish more people enjoyed it. 


The credits are almost over, and he is still talking. I loved hearing him speak about the film, and I found it funny they filmed this commentary while the movie was still in theaters.


They need to make the nightmare prequel with Robert. You could d-age him just enough to make it work. I also like how they talk about where the sequel could’ve gone.

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
