 Day 231


June 17th, 2024


Welcome to another day in the life of.


The dynamic among the core group of women in this film feels artificial and lacks authenticity. It seems as though the writers attempted to transplant the typical traits of the "final girl" trope onto the characters of Lori, Gibb, and Kia without much consideration for their individual personalities. Improving the chemistry between these characters could have greatly enhanced the overall quality of the film. In my opinion, the lack of rapport between the female leads detracts from the movie's impact. Unlike previous installments in both franchises, this film suffers the most because it appears that the focus was solely on featuring Freddy and Jason without prioritizing the development of a more compelling narrative around their ultimate confrontation. While the fundamental story is present, the absence of strong interpersonal chemistry among the characters undermines the overall cohesiveness of the film.


In the movie, the most notable example of well-developed chemistry is the transformation of the relationship between Kia and Linderman. However, apart from this particular dynamic, the interactions between the other characters seem forced, as if they are just pretending to be close friends.

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.
