When do I get to see the sailboat?

(Translation: I have no idea what that is supposed to be, TSP).

It could be worse. They could bring back Friday the 13th: The Series.

That site doesn't allow image-linking, TSP.

I knew somebody would get it. Nice.

I'm guessing it's the new Jason Voorhees mask. Available at ****'s Sporting Goods for $39.95.
Sad to see it doesn't have the old ax wound, though. I always thought it was cool that they kept that there through all of the films.

This could be the worst movie remake idea ever. Friday the 13th wasn't very good any way, and the sequels are awful.

This is what, film No. 12 in the series (if you count Freddie vs. Jason)?

One of them had Horshak from Welcome Back Kotter and an Alice Cooper song, Man Behind the Mask.

That would be Part VI: Jason Lives.
Other stars to be menaced by Jason include Kevin Bacon (part 1), Corey Feldman (Part 4) and Crispin Glover (part 4).
I've seen these things waaaaayyyy too many times.

Kevin Bacon wasn't menaced by Jason. He was murdered by Mrs. Vorhees in Part I.

I agree that this is a bad idea, but the original wasn't a bad movie at all.

 

[KYSportsWriter]

The original was pretty damned good.

Jason X, though? It sucked.

Was that the one in space? I saw part of it on cable and laughed.

Yeah. It was horrible.

Ummmm...Kevin Bacon was menaced by Jason while he swam in Crystal Lake? Little dead Jason tickled his feet while he splashed in the water? Jason was the best damn Marco Polo player ever, and it hacked Bacon off?
Yeah, I screwed up there.

And Jason X wasn't a terrible movie either, for what it was. It didn't take itself too seriously like some of the earlier movies.

Worse than the Porky's remake that's in the works?

C'mon. Dipping somebody's head in liquid nitrogen and then breaking it off has got to be on the short list of great movie kills. Falls short of beating person inside sleeping bag to death by slamming it against a tree.

That kill was great.

The rest of the movie, with the exception of Lexa Doig and Melyssa Ade, not so much.

 

[BigSleeper]

"Jason X" had one of the funniest scenes in the entire series, when Jason stepped the holodeck and got to menace some campers. Other than that, it had one line that pretty much summed it all up "This sucks on so many levels!"

Yes, I've watched them all way too much. The one in New York was the absolute worst.

If done right, a remake could be worthwhile. As disgusting as it was, the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" remake wasn't half-bad. But much of my attention was spent on Jessica Biel, so that probably skewed my overall perception.

 

[KYSportsWriter]

Sleeper, you can take Jessica Biel all you want.

I'll have me some Erica Leerhsen, aka Pepper.
