Lack of ideas

 Day 219


June 5th, 2024


So, we are led to believe that Jason died as a kid and is now alive as an adult. What makes it worse in the context of this specific film is that he is afraid of water. I understand that, and honestly, as dumb as it may seem, it isn't. Being fearful of what almost or may have killed you for a brief moment seems logical to me. 


I found the film lacking in exploring the new ideas and twists that could be introduced in the characters' lore. For example, the concept of Jason being afraid of water could have been further developed to expand on Jason's supernatural lore. It could have been interesting to explore the idea that the lake serves as a source of regeneration for Jason—his personal Lazarus Pit. 


In the dream world, Freddy possesses his very own Lazarus Pit, a place of rejuvenation and rebirth. If anyone learns about Freddy and uncovers his past deeds, a sense of fear will be instilled, causing him to be resurrected again.


No matter the circumstances, Freddy and Jason seem unable to meet their demise. Their eternal struggle mirrors an unending project, with each confrontation ending in a stalemate, leaving neither side with the advantage.


Expanding on the lake and crafting a mythology around it would have heightened the film's allure.

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 106

  Day 106 February 13th, 2024 Someday this movie will change. Ah hell, who am I kidding it will not change. After 106 viewings I am surprised that I am not bored with the movie yet. I always find something new or try to view the movie differently. So, I guess changing things up in a way keeps this project going. I know that as this continues, I am bound to lose my mind. But who is to say that I haven't already lost my mind? Today's viewing was back to the basics. No 2x viewing, and no other thrills as in watching the movie in unusual places. Granted that I enjoy watching the film in unusual places. I feel I have one place to complete those viewings and that would be in the bathroom. Honestly, I do not know if I would ever do that. The less time spent in the bathroom the better. It also would raise questions as to what I am doing. Those would be the hard questions to admit to someone.  I didn't notice anything different in the viewing. Though my mind does play out a much bet

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
