CAGiversary!
Ok I'm an old fart around these parts....sort of.....so I really don't understand how you guys could watch Friday The 13th..like..parts..4,5,6,7,8...or Halloween..4, 5, 6, 7...or...hell any movie that goes above 3, with any kind of enjoyment whatsoever.
I mean I was like a teenager when those Friday the 13th movies came out, a YOUNG teenager, and even THEN those films sucked hard! I mean your friends would come in and say "there were 3 boobie shots and a dude got impaled in the eye and another guy got a machete to the head" and that was it....an entire movie where you cared about 30 total seconds of screen time.
I mean back then it was still QUALITY over quantity..but only for awhile...Evil Dead > pretty much any horror film of the early 80's.....Friday the 13th 1 was good because woah..it was the first, same with Halloween. Halloween II was better than Friday the 13th 2 but they were...acceptable. But with Friday the 13th 3D it was like "Ok, serously, now they aren't even trying anymore"......those movies became the goof horror flicks like Frank Castle films from the 50's. Halloween III was a masterpiece flick, but because it doesn't have some goon walking around with a knife people hated it. ((This is partially my reason for thinking that most people are, essentially, brain-dead.))
I think the thing that really bothers me about remakes however, is that they are remaking films that have already COVERED ALL POSSIBLE GROUND AND RUN THEMSELVES INTO THE TOILET LONG, LONG AGO. Halloween...DEAD franchise. Friday the 13th? DEAD franchise. NIGHTMARE ON ELMSTREET...seriously.....run into the ground and dead. When the villians became the heros it was like "oh man, Calgon take me away...". Where are they gonna take this crap? Its just gonna be homicidal maniac chasing modern versions of "dumb kids of the 80's", so replace nerds with Emo's and jocks with...err...jocks...and this time throw in an Asian and a Black Guy and a fiesty latio chick who knows 30 different types of kung fu....then we'll have a modern Friday/Halloween film
Its almost 2010...you can get all the porn you want on the internet...so boobie shots are "who cares" now....you can get all the violence you want on Ogrish (well, you could anyways)....who honestly cares about a guy walking around with a hatchet that might be unkillable with a pistol or a pitchfork!?
These days you see a maniac coming at you with an Axe you pull out your cellphone and start snapping pictures, you call the cops, then 36 dudes show up to take videos of him for TMZ or their
ing Blogs, hours later he's an internet celebrity with a hot Viral Video and 4 weeks later he's shown escoring Paris Hilton to some hot club in Spain.
The word is a different place....homicidal maniacs are about as thrilling as wart removal....
