Franchescanado posted:The last time I watched it, it felt like a Whodunnit? Murder Mystery play filmed in the woods of New Jersey. In the annals of trite murder mystery twists, it's one that's pulled off with remarkable aplomb. The franchise eventually just sort of escalated into black comedy, but the first one is underrated in terms of just how kind of... sun-baked and weird it feels. It's got this understated, dreamy quality that really pays off at the last. Like, that final line/dissolve to the lake is genuinely disturbing but also bizarrely melancholy.

I always found the yellow-orange lightning for the storm to be unintentionally dreamy, as well how the last few characters die off-screen, compared to the explicit deaths in the first two acts.

It's the kind of movie where two characters just ponderously sit by a lake and talk about "I have this dream" and poo poo. It's the most endearingly 'college film' thing.

Are there any hidden-gem cabin in the woods style movies on Prime or Netflix? I've always liked that setup for the low to mid budget horrors. Not a lot of sets to worry about, just some folks in the woods.

They added Robowar to Amazon Prime. For anyone that's unfamiliar with it this is a shameless Predator ripoff that is....... Italian Written by Claudio Fragasso (director of Monster Dog, Troll 2) Directed by Bruno Mattei (director of Strike Commando, The Other Hell) Starring Reb Brown So please watch it ASAP.

Narzack posted:I can partially agree with that. Lucas is an amazing producer and creator, but, I felt that Star Wars was incredible in spite of him. He was given full control for the prequels and those were as bad as could be. But Star Wars and Indiana Jones are top notch, yeah. Also Willow.

James Woods Fan posted:Not only is he still attached to Godzilla VS Kong but apparently he is going to butcher I Saw The Devil with a lovely remake. I actively loathed his Blair Witch and will never watch Death Note. I wasn't big on Blair Witch, but frankly that movie's more the result of Wingard being a bad fit for the material than him being a bad director in general. He's got a specific lane, and when he works in it, he makes good poo poo (see: You're Next, The Guest, Death Note). e: Like, I don't think Blair Witch has a single thing I'd associate with Wingard except his name on it and possibly a couple actors from other things, it's very much a work-for-hire movie.

The Guest has earned Wingard a fair number of mulligans in my book. I didn't love Blair Witch either, but I'll follow whatever else he ends up working on in the foreseeable future.

It's hard to tell people what it's about without ruining it and "it's about a soldier that moves in with his battle buddy's family after he gets discharged" makes people just think it's a drama about the Iraq war.

He loses his fingers in the fight with Freddy but in Jason X (set in the future far after F v J) he has his fingers. Jason cannot regenerate fingers so you must concede that Jason X isn't Jason or F v J Jason isn't Jason. You can't have it both ways.

That's a major plot point in the beginning of the film is he's being held at Camp Crystal Lake Research and they're studying his regenerative powers.

That's internal regeneration. He's carried his external battle damage through multiple movies. Are you telling me he chooses to not regenerate his external features? Untrustable fucked around with this message at 06:35 on Mar 8, 2018 |

Jason has not been Jason since part 5. That is my official stance. I would be happy to elaborate if needed.

Actually, and this is entirely on accident, but it makes a weird amount of sense if you assume he doesn't regenerate SUPER fast. Like, second movie he's the most alive of all of them, he has hair and all that. Then he takes a blow that should have killed him, machete through the collar to where his heart is, and that changes. he takes another mortal blow in the third movie and by the fourth he looks more like a corpse. In Six he starts off more corpse-like but the moment he's revived, he's regenerated a fair bit. 8 shows him regenerate a lot of the damage he took in 7, 9 has him regain a human flesh tone again. Freddy VS Jason shows his regeneration a few times. When he's first brought back, we see his lungs fill up and then he regrows his flesh around his bones. Later on Freddy stabs out his eyes only for them to regrow extremely quickly. Basically normal wounds Jason mostly ignores, but they do regenerate over time. Major wounds that would keep him from killing or being active he regenerates much faster. Also yes technically Jason is only physically in 10 movies, even if you take Child Jason at the end of part 1 as a psychic attack. If you count that as him being there in spirit, 11

Part 6: Jason Lives is all a fantasy in the head of an institutionalized Tommy Jarvis. Jason was not brought back by lightning like Frankenstein. Tommy had to rationalize his fear of Jason returning so badly that he dreamt it up while locked in a padded room. Part 7: The New Blood Tina's guilt over the accidental murder of her father causes her to use her psychic powers to try and resurrect him. She succeeds but due to interference from the residual evil of the place, her father is resurrected as a creature that shares similar characteristics with Jason Voorhees but isn't him. When her "father" pulls "Jason" back into the lake, that is her pyschic power summoning a powerful totem of who her father used to be to destroy the monstrous Voorhees dad monster she created. Not Jason, just looks like him. Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan You know what? This one is Jason, who has been lying dormant in the lake during the events of 6 and 7. Hella dies at the end though. Jason Goes to Hell: Not Jason Voorhees at all. At this point a vengeful demon takes on the visage of Jason Voorhees to do murders as evidenced by the weird demon heart...thing. Jason X: Copycat killer who was infested by the demon's heart and granted regeneration and powerful magicks. Shot into space. Non-canon for me. F v J: Mud golem brought to life by Freddy. Remake: Different Jason Voorhees in an alternate timeline where he can run and poo poo. Not OG Jason.
