Reaction: Friday the 13th
So, I used a free rental and rented Friday the 13th. Clerk at video store was astounded that I have never in my entire life seen a Friday the 13th movie. And now I'm starting to watch this one at 10 pm on a weeknight.
The things I do because of Supernatural. Seriously.
Anyway, just in case anyone wants to read my babbling, have a reaction post.
Reaction is short and not very detailed because I want to survive tomorrow morning, but still contains spoilers for the movie.
-*waves at Jared's name in the credits*
-I know the basic 'lore' of the original series, so having the mom bit at the start seems like kind of a cool acknowledgment of that. What the heck did counsellor girl chop her head off with?
-Cue the idiot teenagers/twenty-somethings out to intoxicate themselves and fornicate in the woods! Ha! They're out to raid a grow-op. Loads of brains in this bunch.
-And cue assorted backstory. The banter among the doomed kids (god I'm old) is... oddly not annoying me. Cool. Girl with unspecified mom medical situation is Jared's character's sister, yes?
-Hahahahahahaha! The fireside stripping. Jeez.
-Aw, the tech-geek's gonna get killed first? He hasn't had sex yet though. Oh. Hee! Pot plants. The post-millennial slasher movie victim designator is pot?
-Yeah, sure, let's explore the old ruined campsite at night. This guy's been taking dating tips from a kid named Gavin who likes haunted asylums, hasn't he? :-P He's very Gavin-ish.
-ZOMG EVIL MONKEY!
-Teen/twenty-something sex still attracts psycho killers. Owwww. Leg hold trap. And burning alive in a sleeping bag. Nasty. :-P
-"Somebody's been here." NO REALLY???
-Hee! Severed head! You've disrupted the guy's shrine. Now you've done it. Now he's gonna kill you to death even harder.
-Keep running, girl. Keep running... Okay, yeah, let your friend loose. Um, there's the trap release thing right there. No right there. No, prying won't help, you need to hit that button thing right- whups, never mind, he's dead.
-Bet: Jason didn't kill her because she looks like his mom and has the locket.
-HI JARED!!! *waves*
-Okay, jerk-guy in store can die horribly, but I bet he'll be one of the last to go because he has so much dialog here.
-I haven't really seen a lot of non-Sam Jared, so it's kind of a struggle not to see him as Sam here.
-Bike. Good grief Jared's a big guy. I love that his knees are bent and his feet are touching the ground sitting on that thing. It looks like a dirt-bike.
-Well howdy there Officer Exposition!
-Knife on Clay's belt is not helping the perception of non-Samness.
-Oh hey! We get to hear Jared use profanity! *glee*
-Puppy-dog eyes! Very hard not to see Sam with the intense amount of puppy-dogging Jared has going on.
-Niiiiice trees.
-Ooo! Wood-chipper! Someone has to die in that.
-"What happens then?" Hee!
-Heh. Don't blame her for taking off with him, but yeah. Fireworks aplenty later.
-Aha. Dealer-hick-boy's going in the wood chipper, right? Also EWWWWW!
-Nope, not the wood chipper. But there's the hockey mask. Recognize that too.
-Some pretty decent cinematography in spots in this movie.
-Topless water-skiing seems way too painful, even without a murderer running around.
-That Camp Crystal Lake sign's about ten feet higher than it was last time we saw it, innit?
-Heeee! The dock kill. *snort*
-WTF is it with people checking out unknown territory in the dark? Daylight would be a heck of a lot more useful.
-Archery trophies. Hee.
-HA!! Flashlight's dying! Must be a ghost! This whole movie is giving me superficial Asylum vibes. I blame Gavin.
-[gamerspeak]Awesome Will roll for the girl vs screaming her head off. *applauds*[/gamerspeak]
-And now the camp sign's short again. Maybe it was an optical illusion earlier, or maybe the poles contract at night or something. Padalecki almost had to duck under it there, it seemed like.
-Incidentally? Shoulders. Just saying.
-Yep, Jason saved her. Oh. And now she'll think her brother's dead because of the backpack being there. I was wondering why Jason was schlepping the body back. It's because the script calls for angst and loss of hope.
-...or not. Okay, so she didn't connect the bag to the body? Hm.
-Yeah. Enraged psycho destroying things. No comment. Moving on.
-Lock-picking with flexible wire is tough. Especially an old lock like that. You need something harder that can push the internal mechanism around.
-Yay for Clay's sister making temporary progress on rescuing her own damn self. \o/
-Room of corpses... hm. Why?
-And more teen/twenty-something sex. *eyeroll*
-Yeah, Chui's never coming back from that tool-shed. Too bad, he got some good lines here and there. I'm really kind of liking the Nolan and Chui friendship. That Nolan would go out to get Chui when he knows there's a murderer on the loose? That's cool.
-Heh. Freezer conveniently large enough for a body. Aren't all of them, though?
-If you find yourself in a horror movie running past an easily grab-able deadly weapon, GRAB IT! Even if you don't use it yourself, it keeps the killer from getting it.
-*mutters deprecations about the throwability of unbalanced axes* Although that one might work. Better than a pickaxe would, anyway. *raises an eyebrow at MBV3D*
-He's on the roof? Wow, Jason's speedy!
-The half-naked girl's getting shot, isn't she? Nope.
-Blasting away with the gun randomly and wasting five shots. Heh. Yeah, and having a situation that probably looks like he might have shot the half-naked girl, and going "Nope, Jason got her." regardless. Dick.
-Hee! Jerk-boy screams like a girl.
-My, what an incongruously well-lit toilet.
-Ooo, fire'll slow him down. Or at least it should.
-Hm. Padalecki sounds a lot more natural to using profanity. No, wait, it's that his are mainly more interjection type and not part of the primary dialog like Jensen's were in MBV3D.
-WTF? They came out through the bus? How in hell would you map this place?? o.O
-And there's where Jared got the cut on his head, I'm guessing. Yeah, Clay's totally not dead.
-Go Clay's sister! Yay for kicking murdering psychos in the face! Even if it's futile! \o/
-Why is there no thunder with the lightning?
-How do you stab someone with a sickle?? o.O
-No, no, no! No feeding Jared into the wood-chipper! Bad psycho-killer!
-Hey... was that lamentable chain-hauling in Yellow Fever a kind of shout out to this?
-And Jason who's been stabbed through the chest and strangled leaps up through the solid wood dock and gets her. Oh gimmee a break, at least make it plausible! Oh. Oh hey, wait. So, what if she was hallucinating, kind of a PTSD thing? Months of long term caregiver duty, followed by a month of being Jason's pet followed by having to kill someone, yeah. She snaps and starts having hallucinations and flashbacks. There's no Jason, just Clay with a sister freaking out at nothing on the dock. *nods*
No blooper reel on this DVD either? Are rental copies are getting short-changed big time, or is it just these two?
And now it's one AM. Good night.

I'm going to rent it, I think. I *bought* MBV because of the Jensen pretty, and decided to watch it on the train en route to Washington - and was mightily glad there was no one sitting next to me. Some serious nekkidness going on in that movie, and unfortunately none of it is Jensen. Although there is shoulders.
no subject
Nearly. It seemed very likely, but then his sister did something, I forget what.
Although there is shoulders.
There is an abundance of shoulders. There is nudity and sex in this, but it's more the typical nudity than the "woman walking around completely naked for ten minutes" nudity. Renting would be a good option. I don't think I'll be buying it when I can afford to but movies again. The acting in general was considerably better than I expected it to be, but it doesn't have that 'I will need to watch this again' feeling.

Dude, I am a horror wuss and do you know how many slasher films I have had to sit through because of the boys? Jared and Jensen...can we PLEASE do a DRAMA???
But I actually didn't mind this one. And Jared on that motorcycle more than made up for the splattery death scenes.
no subject
Ten Inch Hero or Christmas Cottage? I'm not minding horror, though I prefer creepy and atmospheric to blood and guts, but I'd like to see either of them in a western, Jensen in a superhero or sci-fi and Jared in a historical fantasy as a despotic king or something. Also, I would cheerfully cut off my big toe to see Jensen do Hamlet.
And Jared on that motorcycle more than made up for the splattery death scenes.
That motorcycle was definitely worth watching the movie for.

Hugs
off to read your fic;)
no subject
There were cute bits, yeah. Don't go with PPV if it's a ridiculous price though. They did sort of use the wood chipper, but not really...
no subject
so, shoulders, eh? I may have to see it after all :D I heard that they involved fitted t-shirts....was I misled?
How do you stab someone with a sickle??
um....sort of sideways I imagine? You could get some nasty action going by turning the hook round after you got it in though....
no subject
Nope there were shoulders in t-shirts. He was also soaking wet at one point, if I recall correctly, and if you're into that. Check around online, there are probably stills.
um....sort of sideways I imagine? You could get some nasty action going by turning the hook round after you got it in though....
The motion was inconclusive. I recall more of a jabbing than a turning.
no subject
-...or not. Okay, so she didn't connect the bag to the body? Hm.
I managed to see this one in the theatre *wink* and I remember thinking the EXACT SAME THING pretty much word for word right there.
Also, I haven't read others comments so I may sound redundant, Jason is ridiculously and unrealistically unkillable. It's like his calling card or something. UN-killable, always. :\
no subject
It's too bad they didn't go with that, it would have added some character exploration, but I guess they aren't keen on that in this type of movie.
Jason is ridiculously and unrealistically unkillable. It's like his calling card or something. UN-killable, always. :\
Bleh. Unkillability is boring. No risk if the hero's unkillable, no hope if the villan's unkillable.
no subject
Um I think I laughed a little at that part. More than a little. What an inventive way to die! :D
'We get to hear Jared use profanity!'
That might be one of the things that made me kind of clicked me out of the 'this is Sam' vibes I kept having during the whole thing. I was like 'HEY Sam doesnt say fuck' XD Aah, Sam should REALLYswear more ;)
no subject
I'm kind of surprised it wasn't clicking me out of the Samness. He sounded so natural swearing.
