Preflight antics

  Day 306 August 31st, 2024 The preflight weigh in: Wait Freddy has killed over 1000 people according to this. Jason with 1200?  None of this makes any sense.  It was nice to see this taken as a boxing match but man this was stupid as hell.  I remember this being awesome to younger me, this did not age well. At least Robert had fun with this.  Jason was a 2/3 favorite.

Tv

  Day 305 August 30th, 2024 Tv Spots. So much hype. Winner didn't kill all.  The meet tv spot was odd. The film came out in 2003. It was 22 years since Jason existed in adult form, 23 if you count that annoying kid version. It claimed this was 23 years in the making. Freddy came out in 84. Someone failed math class. The rest of the spots were meh and winner didn't kill all… wait they did. Lori won and she killed Freddy. 

Trailer Time

  Day 304 August 29th, 2024 Trailers: Seeing the theatrical trailer again was a nice touch. Sucks that the trailer had the one line that should have been in the film, the place your bets line. I remember looking forward to that only to be let down.  8/10

Summer Camp 03

  Day 303 August 28th, 2024 My Summer Vacation: A trip to Camp Hackenslash. This was a short documentary on the premier of the movie at a summer camp shown outside. This to me was a blah documentary.  It just shows people having fun and that's its Harry Knowles shown    and Wet T shirt contest really do not mix. Oh and a penis and indian leg wrestling.  -1/10

Grab a brush and put a little make-up

  Day 302 August 27th, 2024 Make- up Effects: Freddy’s beauty secrets. Demon Freddy shines here!  I loved how they showed a nice chunk of the visual effects. I was wanting more from this.  I wish they showed more of demon Freddy but it was a nice makeup documentary! 8/10

Stunts

  Day 301 August 26th, 2024 Stunts: When push comes to shove Now this was a good documentary regarding the stunts of the film. I found this enjoyable and quite informative. I recommend checking this out. Mix of seeing the stunts and commentary on how they did everything. It has heavy focus on the fire stunt in the cornfield. 10/10.

Day 300

  Day 300 August 25th, 2024 67 days remaining. It’s been a wild ride and now I can see the finish line in sight. Time flies by. This past year has gone by quickly. I am ready for the project to end, but I’m not ready for it to end. This has been a part of my life for nearly a year so I will need to find something to fill that void.  I am open to suggestions, but leaning towards taking care of myself better than I do. 

Art Direction

  Day 299 August 24th, 2024 Art Direction: Jason’s decorating tips This is about finding the look for Jason and the dream world.  While everything in this was informative, it leaned to the boring side of things. 3/10 Scratch that  1/10 because it focused a bit on the pinball scene.

Cabin Fever

  Day 298 August 23rd, 2024 On location: Cabin Fever This is a behind the scenes of the cabin fight in the film with Jason vs Kia and Linderman. It seems more like rehearsal footage if anything.   It is okay. It was nice to see that they filmed the scene at a different frame rate for the action.  2/10

On the set

  Day 297 August 22nd, 2024 On the set: Freddy vs Jason This is an old Starz behind the scenes of the making of the film. Its okay but does a great job of hyping the film. In a way it is better than the actual film. Freddy calling out Michael Myers and Chucky was funny. 5/10

Genesis

  Day 296 August 21st, 2024 Genesis: Development Hell We are back to the basics of the supplemental material from the Blu-ray.  This brief ten-minute introduction delves into the creation of the Freddy vs. Jason film. While it provides some insight, it falls short in terms of delivering comprehensive information that can be found in more in-depth sources. The claim that the idea has been around since the late 90s is questionable. Although it may have been in development for that extended period, the concept likely has its roots in the 1980s. I give this a two out of ten.

Script review

  Day 295 August 20th, 2024 Overall the script like the book was better than the movie. I hope the script I found was legit.  I believe I am going to re review or review for the first time some of the special features minus the deleted scenes. I just want to see if I have gained a better appreciation for the film. 

Shocking conclusion

  Day 294 August 19th, 2021 The stunning conclusion or is it? The place your bets line appears! Poor poor crystal lake officers dying because of Jason! Weather vane and not steel rods! Construction workers are dumb and think Jason isn't real until they meet their demise. No F line from Kia thank you! Kia took away her fear from Jason ha ha. She paid a price there. Freddy kills the execs! That would be three kills for Freddy and not one. Lori should have let will hang Freddy! Will cuts the pully that leads them to the dock? Not the hard R word, we were doing so well. Lightning!!! Jason holding Freddy up by the throat before being stabbed in the eyes would have been better in the movie. Freddy realizing that he should team with Jason is funny! Freddy throwing in the towel in the fight is rather odd.  Wait whaaat. Freddy rips Jason’s heart out?!? Rolling propane tanks would piss Hank off. Exploding propane tanks is PTSD for Hank due to what happened at the Mega lo mart. Great work Buc
