The Remote Viewer posted:The US DVDs have terrible re-done covers as well. I was trying to find pictures of them on Amazon and found this instead: They're also somehow releasing part 3 in 3D on DVD: http://www.amazon.com/Friday-13th-Part-3-3-D/dp/B001K9OXEE/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1230756423&sr=8-1 Might be worth checking out..

The same guy who produced the Halloween: 25 Years of Terror DVD has one coming out next month about the F13 franchise. Looking forward to checking this out: http://www.amazon.com/His-Name-Was-Jason-Friday/dp/B001L9EXNO/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1231250872&sr=8-1

I found a theater about an hour from my house that's showing it (AMC in Barrington off I90). It's just too bad that the movie theater I can see out of my kitchen window isn't.

We rented Slither a couple of weeks ago - it was pretty darn entertaining. I just wish Jenna Fischer's role would have been a little bigger.

My wife rocks. I asked her what she wants to do for Valentines Day. She said she wants to make a nice meal together at home since the restaurants around here usually have limited menus of overpriced food on V Day, and then she wants to go see Friday the 13th afterward. Did I mention my wife rocks?

WescottF1 posted:I preordered it from Amazon and it should arrive by Thursday. I really enjoyed the Halloween 25 Years of Terror one, and I am very much looking forward to this. I wonder what happened - but Amazon hasn't sent my video. Now it's saying "Ships in 7-10 days". I checked Best Buy's website and it's listed as backordered on there, and my local store doesn't have any so I can't just pick it up and then cancel my Amazon order. Drat.

UncleMonkey posted:So, I picked up His Name Was Jason on my way home from work. I haven't watched it yet, but just in case you guys don't know already, it comes with some cool stuff, including a $5.00 coupon towards your purchase of a ticket for the F13 remake at participating theaters and a His Name Was Jason poster. Where'd you get yours? I just got an email from Amazon saying mine won't ship until the week of 2/23. Ugh. Nevermind - my local BB store didn't have any on Wednesday but now the site says they do. I go right by there on the way home from work and will swing by there in a half hour. WescottF1 fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Feb 6, 2009 |

PsychoGoatee posted:Man, I watched Friday the 13th part 2 last night, hadn't seen it in a while. Definitely a great one, I love it when he moves the whistling tea kettle. Even Jason wouldn't leave a whistling kettle on, c'mon now. Plus even though it was early 80's and their look is a bit dated, I still think Kirsten Baker and Lauren-Marie Taylor are the hottest babes in the original series.

evilontwolegs posted:That would make more sense and explains the phone call with her mom where Alice argues that "this is just something I need to do." Yeah - continuity has never been the hallmark of the slasher sequel genre. That's okay. I'm mostly there to see the violence and tits-n-rear end. As Joe Bob Briggs would say "not too much plot to get in the way of a good movie".

PsychoGoatee posted:And I just watched the His Name Was Jason documentary, quite fun. One thing I found interesting is how most of the girls from those movies are still hot. Jensen Daggett from Manhattan is especially hot still. Hell yeah she is. NICE hooters. Lauren-Marie Taylor and Debisue Voorhees are also still quite fetching. The twins from Final Chapter didn't age so well though.

knifehitz posted:Anyone interested in this kind of thing should really check out Crystal Lake Memories, it is a fantastic and awesome book. Holy poo poo - I just bought that book from Amazon maybe 6 months ago. Glad I didn't wait. You're right, it's pretty drat awesome. The Making of Friday the 13th book is decent too, but CLM is top. "His Name Was Jason" is an interesting enough documentary and definitely worth getting through Netflix if you only want to watch it once. It was neat to see how some of the actresses aged - Jensen Daggett (OMG BOOBS!), Lauren Marie Taylor, and Debisue Voorhees are all still hot, but the twins from Part 4 - not so much.

Slasherfan posted:Doubt it, I mean if it's successful enough they'll make a sequel, if not they won't. I doubt it's a planned last one. If they do, they should have the soundtrack comprised solely of songs by KISS, Ozzy Osbourne, and the Who - all three have done "farewell" tours in the past and then decided to continue on anyway.

I saw HII today and thought it was okay. The concert/party scene suddenly made me realize something though. You guys seen that Walmart commercial where the woman picks up steaks and says something about how they don't eat steak that much but since Walmart's got cheap steaks she'll buy it? Then her husband thinks he missed her birthday or something stupid like that? I kept thinking she looked very familiar. I'm pretty sure the wife is the same gal who played "TIIIIIINAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" In Halloween 5.

There are no extras or anything, but it's a hilariously cheesy flick. The soundtrack by Fastway kicks rear end, too.

Pope Guilty posted:Was having a good time working through the Friday the 13th movies when I discovered that Netflix has 1-4 and 6-8. Stopping before the (well-deserved) end of the series is one thing, but missing one in the middle? Tsk, tsk! They must have just removed 5. I watched 4 & 5 back to back on Netflix just within the last couple months.

The Senator Giroux posted:I'm gonna second this. It's super long but I've watched it at least twice because it's so fun. It's pretty easy to break into manageable one or two movie chunks, too. I preordered the DVD/Blu-Ray set from the production company when it came out and it included a third DVD that had a few more hours of extra interview footage. I think it's about time for a rewatch sometime this winter when I'm snowed in.

Burkion posted:It's got to skip Halloween 2 if they want it to be believable. It'll be interesting to see how they address the "captured that night" line in the trailer as far as Michael vanishing from the lawn after Loomis shot him. I did like the granddaughter's dismissal of the "Michael is Laurie's brother" retcon from H2. I'll be there opening night for this.

Secks posted:I saw it at the Drafthouse tonight too. So great to see it on the big screen. It's fun to notice details that you wouldn't catch otherwise. I was only 7 when Halloween originally came out so I didn't see it for the first time until sometime in the early eighties. Probably on HBO or a rented VHS tape on my family's 19" TV. It wasn't until I saw it on DVD on my 51" flatscreen that I realized when Laurie is looking out the schoolroom window and sees Dr. Loomis' hijacked station wagon parked outside, Michael is standing on the curb behind it staring at the school. Any other time I'd seen it before I thought he was just sitting in the car as on that much smaller screen the mask doesn't stand out from the house nearly as much.

Samuel Clemens posted:Since we were talking about deliberately unpleasant horror films a few pages ago, what's the consensus on Blood Sucking Freaks? The only movie that made me lose my appetite. When I was in middle school we had a grocery store that had a better rental video selection than all the standalone video stores in the area and they didn't give a drat what we rented. Rented BSF and watched it at my friend's house. Afterward I went home and my parents had gotten takeout from the local Italian place and got me a meatball sandwich. I couldn't eat it. Later on when I was in high school with some different friends we rented it along with Reform School Girls. Two delightfully trashy movies in one night.
