Day 350

  Day 350 October 14, 2024 Today marks a significant milestone - I've watched Freddy vs Jason and Child's Play a staggering 350 times in a row. Surprisingly, I haven't grown tired of these movies yet. I still find both films highly entertaining, but for now, I've decided to take a break from watching "Freddy vs Jason." I usually make it a tradition to watch it every Halloween season. The movie satisfies my craving for a thrilling Freddy and Jason experience, and it's always been a highlight of my Halloween movie marathon. The break for "Freddy vs. Jason" starts in 17 days. After I finish watching the 367th movie on my list, I plan to patiently await the release of "Freddy vs. Jason" on 4K format.

Freddy vs Jason vs Terrifier?

  Day 349 October 13, 2024 Another day. Another viewing. After watching the intense and chilling horror movie "Terrifier 3," today's viewing experience stands out as a refreshing change. It serves as a much-needed palate cleanser, providing a different and unique vibe compared to the unsettling nature of "Terrifier 3." I often find that classic horror movies serve as a stark reminder of the declining quality of newer releases in the genre. While a few exceptions manage to exceed expectations, the majority fall short. When the primary objective is to test the limits of human endurance, it's crucial to complement the shock factor with a captivating and immersive storyline.  "Freddy vs Jason" is an interesting film, but I don't think it can be considered a palate cleanser for "Terrifier 3." While I appreciated the practical effects that harked back to classic horror in Terrifier 3, the film as a whole didn't quite live up to my expec

Jason!

  Day 348 October 12, 2024 I ponder whether the version of Jason portrayed in Freddy vs Jason is the zombie Jason. I don't think it was the undead Jason that appeared from Part 6 up until Part 8. It's not a crucial detail, but it's interesting to note that Jason before becoming a zombie had weaknesses similar to the ones this Jason seems to have. This leads me to believe that it could be a version of Jason from before his zombification. As for the ending, it seems to tie in with the "you can never die" quote from the beginning of the film. It's open to interpretation, much like the version of Freddy. This is something I find myself pondering with each viewing, and it's fascinating to delve into the details of these iconic horror characters.

Twenty

  Day 347 October 11, 2024 Twenty days. Twenty more times of wishing for something better and then realizing that the shit has filled up the other hand faster.  I did not want to watch the movie today, but I did.  I am amused that Freddy tries to find something on Jason to scare him and eventually gain some control over him. It seems like the only skeleton in Jason’s closet is him drowning. I wonder if Jason relives that day when he does rest, if he even does.

Time flys by

  Day 346 October 10, 2024 Today is a somber Day. The viewing of the old family photos got me through the day, as I sat reminiscing about the past. It's hard to believe it has been ten years since that fateful day. I often find myself pondering how different life may have been if what happened didn't happen. It hasn't been easy, and all I hope is that you would be proud of my accomplishments since then. You always instilled in me a strong work ethic and taught me to care deeply about the work that I do. Sometimes I feel like I care a little too much, but I know it's because of your influence. I can't help but think that you would find this project to be silly, but I know you would have supported me no matter what. Your unwavering support is something I miss dearly. I still vividly remember our call the day before. I was walking the halls of the palms theater when you called, and you were excited to take mom to the movie I had seen earlier that day. You would have lo

4k?

  Day 345 October 9, 2024 I'm feeling a little frustrated at the possibility of Freddy vs Jason receiving a 4K release. While it would be great to see the movie restored in 4K, I'm not convinced it would significantly improve or worsen the film. If the rumor turns out to be true, I might consider purchasing it, but I'm not getting my hopes up. As for today's viewing, it brings us one step closer to the end, and that's what's important right now.

Predictable?

  Day 344 October 8, 2024 I found "Freddy vs Jason" to be quite predictable. The movie failed to introduce any new elements to the characters' backstories or mythology, which was disappointing. After watching the movie multiple times, I have become increasingly certain about my evaluation. The element of surprise is ingeniously presented in the sequel to the graphic novel, adding an extra layer of depth and excitement to the storyline..

Therapeutic

  Day 343 October 7, 2024 We are 22 days away from day 365, but 24 days until this is done. I keep reminding myself that I did this to myself. It is not easy to stick to and stay committed to a change or an idea. My idea was to watch these two specific movies for a year to help me with my commitment issues. These issues stem from past experiences where people have broken me down and made me hesitant to commit to them or to make necessary changes in my life. Through this project, I've been able to confront these issues from my past, gain a deeper understanding of the situations, and come to realize that perhaps it wasn't entirely my fault for struggling to commit. This process has been instrumental in helping me work through these challenges and come to terms with the impact of past experiences on my current mindset.

Don't sleep because you might dream

  Day 342 October 6, 2024 “It's not the sleep that is killing us, it's our dreams!” You have to sleep to dream.  I highlighted this previously in dumb quotes in the film.  The specific line in question really exemplifies how poorly Lori's character was developed in the film. While I understand the intended context, the execution fell short and did not resonate well with the audience. This moment underscored the recurring theme of portraying Lori as a damsel in distress throughout the film, ultimately undermining the strength and depth of her character.

Record?

  Day 341 October 5, 2024 The other day, I found myself contemplating an intriguing thought. I couldn't help but wonder whether I might be the record holder for the most views of Freddy vs Jason and Child’s Play. It's quite an amusing notion, as the significance of such a feat holds no real value to me. Nonetheless, the idea of potentially holding such a unique distinction is undeniably thought-provoking. The reasons behind my decision to undertake this seemingly whimsical project are multifaceted and will be unveiled gradually over time. Today I enjoyed viewing number 341 with a shit eating grin on my face. As expected my views on FVJ did not change.

VS Movies

  Day 340 October 4, 2024 I recently came across a movie that I think is even worse than Freddy vs Jason. It's called Gingerdeadman vs Evil Bong. This film makes Freddy vs Jason look like an Oscar-worthy masterpiece. The plot, acting, and production values are all so poor that it's almost comical. It's definitely one of those "so bad it's good" kind of movies. I have a special fondness for Full Moon movies, but I have to admit that this particular one is absolutely terrible! However, I'm relieved that I decided to watch Freddy vs Jason right after this because it totally cleared my mind from the disappointment of the previous movie.

Emotions

  Day 339 October 3rd 2024 Today….  As we approach the end of October, I find myself contemplating what November 1st will feel like. It's strange to think that soon I won't be watching Chucky, Freddy, and Jason anymore. I realize that I'll need some time to process everything once this is all over. I think a movie detox will be necessary to clear my mind. Today, I spent the day simply enjoying the movies, but I couldn't help feeling a bit emotional knowing that time is running out. It's bittersweet to see this experience coming to an end.

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.

Unsung hero?

  Day 337 October 1, 2024 October is here and so is the final month of watching Freddy vs Jason.  I can still vividly recall the myriad of questions that continue to linger in my mind regarding the decision to conceal Freddy's existence as if he never existed. While I can appreciate the strategic brilliance behind this plan, it's hard to ignore the fact that it involves burying the truth about numerous deaths. What's more, innocent individuals are being unjustly imprisoned as a result, depriving them of the opportunity to lead normal lives. It makes me wonder if Freddy could actually be the unsung hero in this complex situation.
