P.S. Friday the 10th sucks for me more than the 13th. I lost my little baby girl on the 10th. I loved that cat more than I could ever say. I want my Allie girl back so much .

I have nothing useful to add to this thread.

Anyone else disappointed by the piss-poor lineup trotted out by Chiller today. They had a mini “Friday the 13th: The Series” marathon in the afternoon hours…and nothing else. Well, only “nothing else” if you don’t consider “The Dark Half” an essential part of the “Friday the 13th” oeuvre.

Well, it’s almost the 14th now and I did not have any encounters with crazy dead men wearing hockey masks. Or their mothers. So I guess we made it through another one…

I just don’t see the point of rebooting of the Friday The 13th series. I would have rather had something to bridge the gap between Jason Goes To Hell and Jason X. We understand that there are hits and misses in the Friday Universe. It’s not necessary to reboot the series to fix that.
My God, I just noticed that seanbaby.com updated a few days ago for the first time in years!
If you’ve never been there before, you owe it to yourself to check it out; the guy’s writing is similar to Matt’s but he focuses more on video games and comics.
His character bios on the Superfriends are some of the funniest things I’ve ever read.

When is the advent calender getting done?
Or when is anything around here going to get done for that matter?

Thomas: I am SUPER pumped about The Watchmen movie. Unlike most people, I actually ~do~ have a deep attachment to it. It was the first “adult” comic (adult themes, not dirty) I read, waaaaay back when I was 11, after having grown up on Batman/Superman/Spiderman/etc. It completely changed the way I looked at super heroes. I’m trying not to get too excited about the movie, because I know it can’t compete with the beautiful image I have in my head/heart, but I still hope they don’t screw it up. I really hope it brings a new group of people into the Watchmen series as well, and makes a whole new generation question the heroes they grew up with. I’ll never look at Batman without thinking of Rorschach now.

I just knew all day at work today that there would be NO way Matt would let a Friday the 13th slip by without at least SOME sort of small post… glad to see I was right
Am I allowed to say that I honestly don’t care if the AC ever gets finished. Sure, its a fun distraction during Christmas Time. But the last time I checked its FAR from Christmas Time. I’d like to see some more old school style articles, like the good old days of Ecto Cooler and other long expired food related products! Those where what drew me to the site in the first place.
Oh hai guys….going to bed pretty soon,don’t know WHAT I’m getting for V-tines day…either a webkinz or Jazz Flip camcorder. Big lots has em for 28 dollars Sunday.

I just saw a commercial on television for the new Burger King “Burger Shots”. which appear to be miniature-sized hamburgers that you buy in multipacks. Now am I crazy, or didn’t BK sell something very similar in the 1980s? And no, I am not thinking of the chicken little sandwiches KFC sold during that era either. I would swear that BK offered mini-burgers in (I think) three-packs.
Or am I just crazy?

PlantMonster, I’ve never watched Poltergeist all the way through, although I’ve seen parts of it. And I’ve never ever seen any of the Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th movies, either. I may have a high tolerance for drugs, but I have a very low tolerance for scary movies. I couldn’t even watch On Demand’s showing of Vacancy. You should have heard my daughter laugh at me over that.
I’m going to see F13 this weekend with Dad. It’s a rule that we see horror movies together, ever since I was 9 and he made me watch Child’s Play 3 to convince me it wasn’t real. (That… didn’t work out so well.)
Sorry to hear about your kitty, Jack!
I saw a three pack of movies at Target, Jason slasher collection. Jason Goes to Hell, Jason X and Freddy v Jason. WHAAAT. the only movie worth watching there is, obviously, FvJ. (Though the scene in Jason X where Jason goes into the virtual reality campground, zips one stupid teen up in a sleeping bag and beats the other one with said bag is hilarious).
I’m not a big Jason fan, but I can’t wait to see the remake. And I’m DYING to know (haha) who’s going to play Freddy in Nightmare.

Happy Valentine’s Day! My plans are a nice dinner, where I’ll treat myself to steak, lobster tail, and a mojito! And maybe I’ll watch Before Sunrise because it’s my favorite romantic movie! Or Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown! Not sure what’s up with all the exclamation points!
TF:Your not crazy. BK did indeed sell those burgers in the past at one point.

Maybe he feels it really is time to put this thing to bed. After all, Matt’s been doing this for SEVERAL years now. He’s done a shitload of articles, seasonal countdowns, and advent calendars. While I would love to see more, I would understand if he hung it up, and just left the comment section up for us…..
Either way, I just want to say thanks for everything you’ve done, and for what, if anything, you may do in the future.

Hey, congrats to XE on getting into the Raleigh News and Observer! http://www.newsobserver.com/917/story/1405570.html
Granted, it’s not the type of article you’d expect to see but it’s pretty neat to see a reference to this site in the paper.

TF,your not crazy. They were called Burger Buddies and were pimped out by Evander Holyfield when he still had two matching ears.:P I noticed the same thing the other day when I went to BK.

Magic Toy and ULTRAMAN In fact at least in the year of 1987 give or take one or two years Burger king sold a 3 pack of mini hamburgers called Burger Bundles for 99 cents. The burger shots are 2 or 6 packs 1.39 or 4.09. They also have breakfast versions which from what I read the burger bundles came in a breakfast version too. Also there was a kids meal version called burger buddies.
I suggest to everybody that is on edge about this website should take a break for a week or two. Or a month. Get some fresh air and then come back. Then you will realize how stupid it is and foolish to argue from both sides and hopefully your attitude will change. I like this time of the year actually because I focus on other things and I don’t have to be concerned w/ checking for updates all the time. It’s like a vacation of sorts. I know Matt wouldn’t be offended by that.
