07/13/2007: Summer Megaparty: Friday the 13th!

Today is Friday the 13th. You better watch some you-know-what movies tonight. I’ll kill you if you don’t. Thankfully, AMC continues its development into “old faithful” with this awesome lineup going into the wee hours:

10:30 PM Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood
12:15 AM: Friday the 13th Part III
2:15 AM Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (Again?)

Not a bad run, but I stand by my recommendation of Parts 2-4 as the a newbie’s best introduction to the Land of Voorhees. If you’ve passed on anything starring Jason in the past out of a mere apathy for slasher movies, I should remind you that I’m a hardcore fan and really couldn’t care less about that aspect of the films. Beyond the dated scripts and bad acting, you’ll find kids having the kind of lawless, awesome vacations you’ve always pined for. The fact that this monster in a hockey mask rips their kidneys out just when they’re starting to get boring is just the cherry on top.

You’ll see what I mean if you give AMC’s mini-marathon a run — and if you do, set yourself up right. Go out, by a six-pack. Buy junk food. Not just “junk food” in spirit, but real junk food. I’m talking Cheetos, and old school Ruffles with that shitty onion dip that you haven’t had since birth. Drink and eat enough of the aforementioned items until you’re such a sad sack that any inkling of getting up to do something more productive with your Friday night dissipates.

Dim the lights, and if there’s enough of a breeze, crack the windows. Even if you do crack the windows, continue running the air conditioner. Hell, bring out the fans too — and make sure your face is one of the places their collective wind will hit while oscillating. Make it cold enough to warrant a throw blanket, because Friday the 13th movies are better with blankets.

Grab magazines. Doodle pads and pencils, too. Maybe even your laptop, since I’m hoping that the thread for this entry will be filled with people watching the marathon and gushing about it. F13 movies are to be watched, yes, but they’re also perfect as background noise. Do some light fluffy reading. Draw. Make little creatures out of clay. Just make sure you’re doing all that stuff from the couch, and make sure you’ve got a free hand for the fifteenth bag of Cheetos.

Don’t go to bed, either. You probably won’t make it through three F13 movies, but don’t go to bed. Wallow in your filth. Sleep on that couch, full of crumbs and books. If you smoke, I want half of those empty (or 90% empty) beer bottles to end up as filthy, disgusting ashtrays. Doesn’t this sound like a great night?

And, of course, soak in the films. They aren’t masterpieces. They were never designed to be. But even at their worst, they’re films that bring out a zillion feelings worth feeling — everything from love to lust, hope and hopelessness, ambiguity and the inevitable.

Oh, and you might just find out that Jason is pretty great, too. He really is. If he didn’t kill people, he’d be like the ugly neighbor who you could always count on to help carry new furniture up the stairs after it got delivered.

If you’ve got buddies who’d be into this sort of thing, it’s even better if you invite them over. But that’s a different kind of night entirely, and something tells me your friends will grow too impatient with all of the commercial breaks and key bloody scenes that AMC is sure to cut out. You’ll probably end up playing poker or something, which is great, but it’s a waste of a perfectly good F13 television marathon.

We have to go out for a little while, but I should be home in time for the festivities. If you’re around, interested and able, let’s turn tonight’s thread into a virtual slasher movie slumber party.

FRIDAY THE 13th, ON X-E:
Friday the 13th Part 2 — Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter — The 5 Best 3D Effects In Friday The 13th Part 3 — The Many Faces of Jason Voorhees — X-E’s 1st Horror Convention — Alice Cooper?

I concur. This entry couldn’t sum it up any better. I just wish they were playing a more varied line up. At least number 3 is in there.
Happy F13!

The cable in my room is farked, so I’m going to the video store. And Walmart. I needs TF.

I’m doing it up right and having a Camp Crystal Lake sleepover. We’re going to eat hot dogs and watch every movie. First one to fall asleep gets murdered.

I’m not a big fan of the Friday the 13th series (yeah, yeah, I know), so maybe later I’ll watch Poltergeist or something.

I find that AMC always has good intentions, but they never seem to show the good installments in a series at a time when I can actually watch them. Last Halloween, they waited until the one night that I had somewhere to go (a Halloween party) to show something I actually wanted to watch. Bleh.

A Camp Crystal Lake sleepover. I’m drooling, it sounds like so much fun, especially if you have a Jason wallbreaker like Matt. Hope nobody gets killed. Wouldn’t that be a great idea for a movie–it’s the ultimate post-post-modern hyperaware idea: a bunch of teens and 20-somethings get killed during the course of a Friday the 13th marathon. Only one girl, the shy one who didn’t want to be there in the first place, survives. We could get Thom Mathews to play the killer. What ever happened to him?

I was just thinking earlier this week how lucky I was not to have to work today. Then I figured, irony will get me, and Jason would show up at my house and kill me. I’m still alive!

My favorite Fridays are definitely Part II, 3, 6, and Jason Takes Manhattan (that’s right… I said it). I’ll probably get flamed for even mentioning Part 8, but it really is a great movie… cruise ship aside.

So we’re talking like whole boxes of Little Debbies, right? Yeah, I guess I don’t really need to eat the rest of the weekend. If my DS connected to my god damn wireless internet I would suggest mass Pokemon battles while watching F13, devouring Cheetos, and writing blog comments about doing such.

OH MY GOD WOULDN’T THAT BE WEIRD IF MANIMAL’S BABY WAS BORN ON FRIDAY THE 13TH?!

I’ll be here, Matt. By about that time I should be wrapping up with my online graduate program for the night and feel the need to watch people being chopped up into hobo-stew.

Hehe .. I haven’t seen part 3 since i was a wee lad! I should check that out … I never made it past part 5, so i don’t think i’ll get much out of part 7. But part 3 — Jeez, they don’t make em’ like that any more.

I haven’t smoked any cigarettes in almost a year either, but reading this blog makes it seem so inviting! Like I’m fulfilling a need! I have purpose!

I feel sorry for you guys that have to settle for what AMC chooses to show you. I’ll be cuddling up with my Friday the 13th box set. Hmmmm…which one should I watch…

Hmm…not cable for me. Maybe I can torrent one up before it’s over. I think my mom is going to baby me a bit because I’m her baby and this is her last time to do it one on one since Pops and the wife are out of town. Big City Burrito here I come.

I think watching them on DVD is missing Matt’s point to some extent. Half of the fun would be watching them, commercials included, knowing that the others in the thread are seeing the exact same thing as you at precisely the same moment.

I’ve got the DVD boxset as well, but watching AMC’s versions (even edited) with live in-thread commentary sounds much more appealing.

Crispin Glover and Kevin Bacon… the cute chick from the second film… a villain who has no need to speak, but merely stands and emits waves of sheer terror… idyllic summer vacations, complete with all the beer, dope, sex, and transcendental outdoors one could fantasize about… how can these films be considered any less than masterpieces?

They didn’t have III, but I got VII. I get to watch all the good bits. w00t! Walmart was raped, just like the Target I went to yesterday

In a bit of role reversal, I’m as much into Friday The 13th as Kneg is into pokemon. Not as an insult, it’s just that I’ve never been into these kinds of flicks, but more power to ya. These kinds of blogs/articles are always fun to read.

In Friday the 13th Spirit…I have a black cat, and fortunately, she hasn’t crossed my path yet. I also always make sure to pick up coins face up. They seem to be luckier that way. I managed to snag a few quarters today to boot, so maybe there’s some truth to it.

Y’all have fun watching the Friday the 13th marathon without me. I believe I’ll just catch up on magazines. My stack has gotten out of control.

In a bit of role reversal, I’m as much into Friday The 13th as Kneg is into pokemon.

So you like F13 aesthetically, but you have enough obsessions already so you settle on acting like Jason on the internet?

Count me in. And may I make a suggestion for something to watch during those long commercial breaks?

http://tasvideos.org/416M.html How about a tool-assisted speedrun of the NES Friday the 13th? (This means that they use slowdown and save state spam to make the game as perfect as they can. This is one of many runs of F13)

I’ll be grabbing and seeding and, despite not really having the stomach for gore in general, I’m in. I got nothin’ better to do and I’m trying to ‘fix’ my sleep schedule (ie, bed at 5am, wake up at noon). Let’s party.

To be fair, MagicToe, it’s going to be disjointed anyway, as we’re spread across time-zones pretty well here at X-E.

I’ll be in the Eastern view party. I’ll start the DVD at 10:30 to coincide with AMC.

Again I get to be happy that my maiden name is Vorhies so I got to cash in on the F13 hype as a kid. One of my sisters is named Crystal so that was also pretty cool. Other than that the name sucked because it meant I was always at the ass end of every f’ing line at school because those bastards always went in alphabetical order for everything!

I may have to pass on the old school cheetos because the orange always creeps me out but I can totally do the onion dip and ruffles. It is on with the Lil’ Debbies…just you wait and see.

OH OH OH and I am all over the Hallmark ornament premier tomorrow. I LOVE CHRISTMAS IN JULY! I just wish Matt would get on the Christmas in July bandwagon and start an early blog fest with it. December is so far away…

You know, not that this is TOO on-topic, but I’ve been trying to think of a themed Pokemon to base around Jason. The only requirements I have so far are that it can learn Slash and it’s weak to Water-type moves. :3 Any thoughts, Pokemon players?

(Likewise, I have a potential Freddy build. But he has to be weak to Fire-type moves and needs to know the move called Dream Eater :D)

I was born on Friday the 13th, no joke. And it was a cold January night, no less.

That is true I guess. The F13 marathon starts at 9:30 CST. Seems like the ones who would be out of luck would be those on the west coast.

My satellite service doesn’t have AMC…this means no Monster Week or whatever in October. Double damnit!

I had a dream last night that (in the dream) I was dreaming and Freddy was trying to kill me. He slashed my friend’s face into ribbons and I made myself wake up. I sighed “yes, this is real” at which point Jason crashed through the door behind me with an axe and strong-armed me to the floor. I somehow managed to escape by using a weird moped that floated on the nearby swamp. It was a pretty cool dream.

I should mention I was out at the county fair in Jersey tonight… Some of those people may actually be Jason.

I too, will be using the DVD boxset instead of AMC. I’ll watch them in order up until The Final Chapter because after that one I lost interest in them. Also, that damn incomplete boxset made me have to buy Jason Goes To Hell, Jason X (Shudders), and Freddy Vs. Jason seperately. Damn my need to complete things.

I went to the grocery store and bought Tato Skins. I win the “best junk food” contest I was running in my head.

F13 tonight? Sounds great. I live in Michigan and here it doesn’t start till 10:30, so all you guys and gals who get to start watching it at 9:30 suck. Plus I can’t eat junk food (just had my wisdom teeth out today), so I’m limited to yogurt and cream of ________ soups. But still…it’s Jason, baby!

Michigan is using EDT, correct? If so, then 9:30 my time (Chicago time, CST) is 10:30 your time.

Unless this whole time zone thing is much more complicated than I ever suspected it was.

They never play the sixth one… That’s the best… I like to call that one Ninja Jason…It seems like he throws knives all over the place and never once does the butt end of the knife hit anyone….He’s got mad skills.

I don’t really understand time zones. The clock may read something different on the otherside of the world, and it may be light out right now, but in an absolute sense it is still the same time.

Kinda like how Bill & Ted travel all over time, but the clock is still ticking in San Dimas. I was always befuddled how that was stipulated in EA but in BJ they take honeymoons and learn how to play.

The only requirements I have so far are that it can learn Slash and it’s weak to Water-type moves. :3 Any thoughts, Pokemon players?

Hmmm…The only one I can think of that fills both of these is Sandslash. Learns Slash and is weak against water. Then again, Diglett & Dugtrio do too, but they just don’t seem Jason material.

I love everything about this. I probably won’t be back home until well into 3, but since I’m West Coast anyway I suppose it doesn’t matter that much. I’m with you guys in spirit.
Happy Friday the 13th!!!! (needs Jason smilie)

Have fun tonight you guys…I’m such a baby with horror flicks…I’ll be spending my Friday with some beers around my back yard fire bowl.

Don’t forget, Matt said “slasher movie slumber party”, so I may watch Sleepaway camp when AMC reruns F13 VII. I will, however, be getting my Jason fix.

The girl who is playing “young Tina” could be the sister of the girl who played Carol Anne in Poltergeist.

I love how even Jason is surprised that he’s alive. “What the hell is this shit?!?”

I’m gonna watch as long as I can. Hopefully my clothes get done drying before any blood is spilt. Don’t really wanna go in the basement if I see that first.

There’s always a kid with psycho-telekinsis powers in these types of horror movies. I think the Halloween, Nightmare on Elm, and Friday 13th series all have thier respectives-

Hello, everyone! Sorry, we’re not big horror fans in this house, but I’ll be looking in on the blog periodically to see how things are going.

Yeah when I saw the telekinesis thing I was thinking maybe I’ve seen this before but no, I must be thinking of some other bad horror flick.

Maybe I should tune in to AMC. It’s probably more entertaining than this show about models I stopped on.

I honestly cannot stand watching slasher flicks on AMC. I prefer them in their uncut glory. I’ll admit I do watch the Halloween marathon on Halloween out of tradition, though.

How DARE the reviewer my cable company uses give F13 VII one star?! He or she probably rates crummy movies like The Godfather, The Shawshank Redemption, or Schindler’s List pretty highly. Jeez…

That chick should just relax. I’m sure other guys would be lining up to give her another pearl necklace.

Yes, I commented on his spine earlier. So, how many of us are the Gus in our circle of friends?

Is there an official spelling for that crazy F13 killing riff? You know, that tch tch tch tch hwa hwa hwa hwa? What the hell makes that noise, anyway?

This is my favorite blog post ever. It really captures the essence of what this is. Not to mention, this is something I can actually talk about (I am not a gamer and don’t know anything about Pokemon).

No Friday the 13th baby but Mrs. Manimal is still hoping for Bastille Day (For those who forgot/never knew, she is a French teacher). That would be fine with me because I could play the RUSH song ad nauseum in the delivery room.

Why has no one posted the outhouse scene from Part 5 on YouTube yet??? “Oooo baby, ooo baby”

The moody, nerdy girl needs Alisha Silverstone and Stacey Dash to give her a makeover ala Brittany Murphy in Clueless.

Ok wish me good luck - I’m going to get my laundry. If I’m not back in like, 10ish, you can assume Jason ripped my guts out.

Manimal, I just got a visual of you with a boom box (how’s that for dating myself?) on your shoulder and one fist in the air blasting Bastille Day. Not only did I laugh up a lung, I damn near fell out of the chair. I don’t even know what you look like!

I like Dairy Queen, but I hate their waffle bowl commercial. I can’t enjoy ice cream if it makes me think about waffle bowl sex.

One should remember to use caution when pronouncing the “ha” portion as it more closely resembles the sound one makes when exhaling as opposed to a sarcastic approval with mock laughter.

Why is it that most psychologists/psychiatrists in horror films, maybe films in general, are portrayed as villains?

You figure after 18+ years this girl would know what is real and what is just a vision.

I’m here to pipe up as well! Bonus is that I’ve never seen this one- I think it might be the last one I needed to see, so score for me!

It took me all these years and about 10 viewings to realize that Dr. Crews, the asshole-psychiatrist-villain is Bernie Lomax.

Holy hell I am laughing very hard right now. On that note… time for another drink.

I just watched Part 3 on VHS, and I don’t have any good junk food. Or any food. I had some Hershey’s kisses and pretzels, but they were unsatisfying. I would kill for some porcupine meatballs right now…

I’m watching whatever one is one right now. Actually, I’m more of a Halloween Fan. Or rather, Halloween is really the only horror-type film that I’ve enjoyed watching, due in part because of the music.

It is a veritable downpour here right now with lots of thunder and lightning..Fits the mood!

Gee, who do you think their target audience is? I guess middle aged men are the only ones who want to watch horror movies on a Friday night, eh? >.>

What is the age cut-off line to be considered “middle-aged”? Thankfully I don’t think I am there yet.

That chick deserves to be gutted just for the case of blue balls she gave that poor science fiction writer.

Oh, cool, someone cut the power. That’s hot, baby. Let’s not even go check to see what’s going on.

Oh, it was a magnifying glass. I should watch the screen instead of just listening.

Is there even a plot to this one, because if there is I can’t even begin to follow it.

Not to ruin the friday the 13th fun ya’ll are having, but I want to say something fairly important.

I went to burger king to enjoy my friend’s paycheck wealth today, while I was eating my tendergrill sandwich after seeing the homer oooo’ing over the ultimate whopper (i think it was) the little paper ad stand thing on the table had a simpsons version of the burger king on it! And a site simpsonizeme.com that you go and make your own simpsons character outta yourself!! I was like omg I have been wanting this since I was 8!! But when we went home it said coming soon on July 16 Doh! lol I’m so lame anyway I just wanted everyone to know so I would be the first and I feel I am worthy enough. I am going to do my best friend’s first and if it’s ugly I won’t do myself on it lol but it would be a great myspace avatar at least, no?

and there is a new butterfinger pie that I got and if you like butterfinger you would like it it’s good. But it’s creamy and limp like the sundae pie.

Doesn’t Jason ever take advantage of all the naked chicks he happens across? Y’know… sexually?

and…it looks like I’ve been binned. :( OMG the room is shaking! what could it be!?

I love how in every movie when the characters in danger find a gun it is always given to the male character. As if every man is born with some innate knowledge of the inner workings of firearms.

Is mine running behind some of your’s? I just got to the penis enlarger/magnifying glass.

Yeah, men have horrible aim. Why do you think they make those rugs that go in front of your toilet?

Sadly I do not think he can. Perhaps that is why he is so aggressive. He is bitter about not being able to satisfy a woman. Maybe if he were able to “perform” better he could have become the next Hugh Hefner.

I feel bad for the people who are seeing these movies for the first time on television. Fucking editing and horrible commercial break timing. Way to kill any building suspense asswipes!

I hate when they have animals like cats in these movies because I always get so terrified that they’re going to hurt the damn cat. I could care less about the stupid teenagers.

I like the severed head that chick just found. Bad special effects are much more charming.

Is anyone else getting this message?
Sorry, you can only post a new comment once every 15 seconds. Slow down cowboy.

OK now where the hell is he getting all these weapons, does he have a hidden toy chest somewhere.

And now a weekwhacker with a saw blade. Jason has certification in Improvised Munitions.

The only movie I can think of off the top of head in which they hurt the damn cat was Re-Animator. I guess that’s more of a zombie movie than a slasher flick, but it’s close enough to being on-topic for me.

AMC here in Toronto has no F13 love… Puppetmaster is on. I don’t know, maybe I’m on the wrong channel?

Anyone else besides me wish Lar Park Lincoln would have played her Tina Shepard character on Knots Landing instead of her usual character?

Greg’s head begins to sweat profusely. The tension on his face begins to build and his eyes become wide with fear. His glare rises to meet hers…

TINA collapses to the floor of Greg’s office, now freshly coated in a spray of Sumner’s blood and brain matter.

Joan Van Ark runs into comfort her. They hug. The music swells to a triumphant tune.

That would have been so much better. Screw my mom for always having Knots Landing on.

… and a special “shout out” to my dad for allowing me to read the movie novelization of Scanners when I was a wee lad.

At least when Jason kills you with landscaping machines he doesn’t make you think you’re swandiving into a pair of titties first.

C’mon man! You are ahead of us. If you are going to do that you need to post SPOILER WARNINGS!

Hahahahaha, I can’t stop laughing at that thing sticking out of that chick’s eye.

Awww, someone give Jason one of those balloons. Because balloons make everyone feel better.

I just spent five fucking hours helping my not-in-laws fix their stupid broken shitty virus-infested piece of shit computer AND I’VE MISSED EVERYTHING AHHHHHH.

Well, I hope everyone’s had fun so far. I’m zipping to the grocery store for much-needed beer and junk. I’ll be back in about 30. Please pay close attention to the opening credits from Part 3. They will change your life.

Thorzul will not be viewing and/or commenting on the F13 marathon tonight because he is too sad, because the Brewers lost to the shitty Rockies, a game between the two for which he was in attendance.

whee, I come home from seeing the new Harry Potter flick at the drive-in and I’m greeted with a F13 marathon! Count me in. I’ll be sitting here drawing and eating twizzlers, (a candy that I haven’t eaten since USA, Up All Night was still on the air) with the AC on full blast if anyone needs me. Matt

During my whole middle and high school existance, I was exiled from my “cool” friends during movie nights due to my incurable lack of guts. Tonight, now more than ever, do I feel the pain of being exiled from the “cool” kids.

Oh for god’s sake. Not another torture porn movie…does anybody out there actually like that stuff?

Last time I checked, Didnelan’ is in Anaheim. Although Comic-Con in San Diego should be starting within the week or so.

Why is it that most psychologists/psychiatrists in horror films, maybe films in general, are portrayed as villains?

Thorzul, don’t be sad. I am a Reds fanatic and can still enjoy this F13 marathon. Join us.

Admission denied, Norbert. You may reapply once you have recieved your degree

Oh snap. I thought she was going to make his head explode or something. That would have been awesome.

Is anyone here going to comiccon? If so, do you wanna team up and help me kick Warren Ellis in the nuts?

Thorzul, know what would cheer you up? Go to a Rockies home game sometime, and observe the most amazing thing- a crowd that usually is cheering more for the away team than the Rockies. Kind of sad, but yet very funny.

As someone who not versed in the Friday the 13th movies, which movie out of all of them is the best? I feel its my duty as an American to watch one at least once in my life, even if I puke a few times.

Jason vs. Freddy vs. Michael Myers vs. Pumpkinhead vs. Candyman vs. The Leprechaun (Warwick!) vs. A Bad Taste bastard vs. Billy (Black Christmas) vs. Horace Pinker vs. a random C.H.U.D. vs. a robot from Chopping Mall vs. Carrie vs. Isaac (Children of the Corn) vs. Ash vs. The Fly vs. Henry vs. The Hitcher vs. Pluto (Hills Have Eyes) vs. Jaws vs. a Killer Klown from Outer Space vs. The machine gun wielding hippo from Meet the Feebles vs. Church the cat vs. the Phantasm sphere vs. Norman Bates vs. a few crows from The Birds vs. Dr. West vs. Angela from Sleepaway Camp vs. that little wall troll thing from Cat’s Eye vs. Leatherface vs. Rawhead Rex vs. The Thing vs. Dan Quayle vs. Potatoe vs. the Cryptkeeper vs. Bub vs. Pascow (Pet Semetary) vs. weird creatures from The Pit vs. Captain Spaulding vs. Mr. Peanut vs. Patrick Bateman vs. that American Werewolf in London.

That was easily the fastest end credits ever, was everyone ashoamed of their participation in the film or something.

Ahhh, he tilts his head to the right just like a dog who is trying to understand.

Magic Toe, we already know how the Dan Quayle vs. Potatoe movie would end. I’d still pay to see it. Part III… hell yeah.

This movie is in 3-D? I guess that’s why they have those crazy zooming red letters in these opening titles…

Good to see the guy who did the credits for Superman was able to find other work.

Y’know, I’ve been looking for good music for this 70’s blacksploitation/porno movie im making. Watching that intro, I think I found my love scene!

Geez! Watch it Harold, ya jerk, you almost put my eye out with that laundry pole.

Oh boy, somebody said the name amoungst names. Captain Spaulding is GOD. Otis isn’t bad, either.

See, I don’t get scared when I watch horror movies. I’m always gabbing away “oh shit, he’s gonna die!” and I’m giddy. On the other hand, Resident Evil and SIlent Hill will indeed produce their intended effects in me.

I’ve got the beer, the junk food, scratch-off lotto cards…and I am ready to use them.

They should have at least included the 3D version in the DVD box set they released a couple of years ago. They at least had the common courtesy to do that with the Nightmare box set.

If I remember right, the 3D edit was lost or destroyed before it was released on VHS

wow. I just got home. I have no cable, there is no way I could catch up here. So, happy F13th. I saw Transformers again tonight. It made me anxious for part 2. I am going to bed, night XE-ers.

I always felt bad for this lady with the curlers. Crass, but she seemed like she meant well.

Uh oh. I’ve been taking one every time I heard a poorly written bit of dialog.

The room is spinning. Back and to the left… back and to the left… back and to the left…

Although III is on, I just wanted to comment on Jason’s hockey skills in VII…I mean, he wears the mask but can he really protect the net? Based on how he leaned, swung and clipped the door shut on Tina as she tried to escape at the end…well, it looked like NHL caliber to me. Or NCAA at least. I now have more respect for the manzombie.

I know not everyone is into crassy women in curls but I thought she was pretty hot.

I think it’s time to go get some chips. I’ve got some Fiery Habanero Doritos in the kitchen somewhere.

God Shelly is so awesome. You’re not going to believe the amount of awesomeness that will emanate from Shelly in the coming hour.

Uh oh. I’ve been taking one every time I heard a poorly written bit of dialog.

I would so take expensive sleeping pills if they came with a glowing butterfly faerie.

I’m self-medicating away the memories of my bad night pretty heavily, but if I’m alive at 2:15, I’m in.

Perhaps I should’ve specified that the times listed in the blog post were EST.

So far I’ve been most bothered by the fact that curler lady put that half eaten donut back in the box and left it on the store shelf. It just goes to show what X-E readers have known for years - never trust the stock at Mom ‘n Pop markets.

Well, I skipped dinner tonight, so I am getting pretty hungry. Should I eat/consume …

a) A combination pepperoni & sausage Totino’s Party Pizza
b) A can of Chef Boyardee Ravioli
c) Whatever I can find at the bottom of the kitchen garbage can (probably spoiled remnants of a better meal)
d) More beer

Ahhhh, Higgins Haven. Does anyone know why they changed it for this one episode?

Well after arguing with those watching the cable tv’s that I want to watch something I am now here. Although I am watching frasier on a little travel set instead of jason because no luck in winning the argument. I got everything else done though blankets and junk food and windows open…

Trivia: The main girl with the squeaky voice was (and I believe still is) very religious — to the point of requesting changes to the script and the scenes here and there in this film.

She’s pretty cute, but I’ve always pegged Vera (the girl Shelly’s into) as the true cool chick of F13 P3.

if b) was a can of Beefaroni, I’d say that. Since it isn’t, pizza and beer all the way.

Magic Toy: Nuke the ravioli. Add a little red pepper. Add beer. (To your stomach, not the ravioli.)

How nice of him to take the time to put his shirt back on when danger is a foot.

Hiya, everybody! Unfortunately, I can only daydream about the kind of action-packed, fun-and-cream-filled evening Matt lined out. My fiance is ill and sleeping on the floor by my feet, we haven’t moved the couch yet so I’m stuck sitting in a crappy chair that sits lopsided, and the closest thing to junk food we have in the house is bagels and strawberry cream cheese. Oh well, at least the cable is hooked up and I can watch some F13 with you guys (coincidentally, this will be the fist time I’ve seen any of these since I was 5 years old).

By the way, I can’t join you…I haven’t had access to cable in my house since 1990.

Whoa, it’s Special K! Long time no see! :) Strawberry cream cheese sounds interesting.

for those of you without cable, try http://www.alluc .org, under the movie section. I dunno about pt. 3, but earlier today I saw that they had links to at least 4 different f13 movies. And the links are to streaming video, so no downloads. Also, thats an AMAZING site to watch every 80’s cartoon ever.

OK, one vote for pizza. If only if actually tasted better than what I could heat up from the garbage can.

If only I lived in a college town that had places that delivered until 3 AM on weekends.

Yeah, Matt, it’s me!! Amazing, no? I’ve been keeping up with the Megaparty, but always a day late so there’s not much chance of getting in on the conversation. :( Now that the ‘net is working at the new house, I should be able to check in more often. Thanks for missing me!

By the way, strawberry cream cheese is way better on celery than… well… just about anything else.

Okay, I don’t know about anyone else, but I found that scene fucking hilarious.

Special K: I’m always looking for ways to make celery more attractive. I’ll have to try this.

Wow Gripp this site looks like it will be keeping me busy for quite awhile…they have VII so I’m guess I’m in for the rerun.

I can’t help but notice that there was a lot more ethnic diversity amongst gang members in the 70’s/80’s. the Warriors, the f13 bikers, the dance gangs in Breakin’ 2: electric boogaloo…

Hahaha. The first time Matt speaks to me directly (I think) he calls me Magic Toy.

I do have red pepper though. My thoughts are wandering to the deep freeze I have in my garage. What subzero surprises from 2005 might it contain?

God damn it, stop telling me to slow down cowboy. One more time, what did Shelly “do”? I turned away just before the break.

I really wish I had some of those little chocolate covered donuts right now…the closest I can get is an English muffin. :[

yeah Danny J, just be careful, that site took my soul for a bit. Check the forums for more up to date links. Another one, one thats good for divx quality movie/tv streams is joox.net Just watched the first conan on there and I’m pretty sure the quality was better than my DVD of pt. 2

Doho: The biker gang messed with him and Vera, and the lead biker dude broke their car windshield with a chain. So Shelly put on a pair of sunglasses and drove over all their motorcycles.

Yeah, gangs in the ’70s and ’80s were much more racially diverse than today. If there is anything we should learn from the Hollywood gangs of yesteryear it is acceptance of others, regardless of skin color.

Since we are on break, I totally agree with Annette’s way earlier post about the nastification of DAIRY QUEEN products due to the new ad campaign. I don’t see them turning into the new TASTERS CHOICE couple.

Hahaha. The first time Matt speaks to me directly (I think) he calls me Magic Toy.

“Kup, you old piece of shit. And that’s what you’ll be from now on….Shitpiece”

It just seems like we’ve all forgotten that if you cut a punkass mark, he’ll bleed red no matter what color he is on the outside.

Thanks for the advice if I dont pass out before the rerun I’ll try to get it streaming…hope the wi-fi holds…go go gadget interweb.

Now, to investigate that deep freeze in the garage. I think an inventory is in order.

I fail to see the logic of showing a Lunesta commercial during a marathon in which they want you to stay awake. You can’t watch other commercials while you’re asleep!

Waitaminute… the yo-yo… being a total F13 newb… was this the one that was 3-D? I remember Matt featuring the yo-yo clip in one of those articles…

Jason is so, so cool in this movie. You’re not going to believe how much different he looks in his youth when compared to Part VII.

There’s one more thing that pisses me off about those DQ commercials: We don’t have DQ in stupid effing Oklahoma anymore. Those bastards. I want a Blizzard.

This is actually an interesting take on Jason. He’s hulking, realistic (?), bald now for some reason

Thanks Matt. Also, didn’t that Yo-Yo actually hit her when said it was close? I thought sure I heard a thud.

If you’re drunk enough you can put on your 3D glasses and not know the difference.

Annette: My sentiments exactly!!! The nearest one to me is in Shawnee… that’s about a 30 minute drive… ah, but they’re closed! Damn the luck!

For a rebellious biker chick, she’s pretty easily amused. I mean, come on…it’s a fucking canteen.

sheesh talk about easily amused. they must not have rope swings where she’s from.

Christ, that yo-yo must’ve destroyed everyone playing the 3-D effect drinking game.

I’m rocking the junk food with Pop Tarts and homemade sopidillas(fried tortillas coated with cinnamon sugar). Homemade may be less traditional, but damn if they aren’t good and bitching unhealthy.

Looking up newfangled pokemon during the breaks. I haven’t played any of the games since the originals, and like Matt, I dropped out hen they got to that Johto place(I kinda felt abandoned, since I didn’t have the new games. Seriously, I did.). I’m thinking about getting in on the action again, but I can’t decide if I’d start with a Turtwig or a Piplup(really not feeling that Chimchar fella).

the Gripp: Nope, Oklahoma. Annette was remarking on the lack of DQs here and I was agreeing with her. Do they have DQs in PA?!

yeah, right near Shawnee as a matter of fact. Near that horrible Snake and Animal Farm that Matt wrote about a few years back.

Why did he just walk around for the last 5 minutes with an unlit cigarette in his mouth.

So I take a gander at the TV and Frasier’s brother’s wife is on the doctor bed thing in a vet’s office and jason schwar
