Okay so in the spirit of Friday the 13th, the day of my beloved Jason Voorhees, the beautiful mutated Mummy's boy, whos maggot infested face just makes me want to give him lots of squishy huggles, I thought I'd give you a BLAAAAAAAGH post of some of my favourite Jason moments and my random Voorhees loving rants! :D
First of all, I LOVE ALL of the Jason movies...well apart from Jason Goes to Hell which is a bit poo...even if it does have X from The X Files in it, it's just a bit lame. Even Jason Takes Manhattan, despite the fact I hate EVERYONE in the freakin' movie...well except Jason and the dog, I still think it's an awesome movie. You've got super cute Jason moments, such as when he's climbing up to the ship when it's leaving saying "I LIIIIIIIVVVVE!!!".
Ooh, and the bit in NYC when he shows his displeasure to the punk kids with their beatbox.
And when he's drowning in the sewers being all cute and "Mommy, help me!". He is lovely. With the Julius death you have one of my favourite deaths, I mean what's cooler than punching some dudes head off and it rolling into a dumpster!?!
AAAAND, when Jason first gets to Manhattan and sees the hockey mask on the billboard, bwahahahaha, SUPER cuteness! <3 I mean look at him, isn't he so cute!?! :D
Anyhoo, I does not care what the haters say, it's a fun film, yup yup yup! They all are! Even Jason X! Say what you like about Jason X but Todd Farmer had it right. The film is stupid amounts of fun, and not only does it have the best death EVER with the liquid nitrogen death...it also has the total boner~gasm of a tribute to another of the best ever Jason deaths, the sleeping bag death. This was a film made by a horror fan who likes to have fun, for other horror fans who like to have fun...end of!
Woot, GO Jason... slam them bitches! ;)
Anyhoo, Jason X was a great precursor to all of the awesomeness that Todd Farmer was to inflict on the world with his 3D films, in fact, in my humble opinion, Todd Farmer is the BEST when it comes to 3D movies...say what you want but that man has an eye for all of the good things about 3D, and less of the utter shite that can also be spewed from it!!! :D
This is of course me babbling about the Jason's that most people won't admit to liking to, I always feel the need to defend them. Thankfully unlike other people, I have no concern with admitting to liking such awesome films, haha.
Now when it comes to original Jason movies, Part 2 is my all time favourite. Amy Steel is an absolute doll and Ginny is my favourite Friday the 13th chick...which meant that when I got to interview her it was a horror girls dream! <3
And look at little sock puppet Jason with his cute little bag mask! :)
Friday the 13th Part 3 continues the Jason awesomeness with my 2nd favourite Jason chick and the fact that its in 3D makes it all the more awesome. Haha. I remember a while back where I saw it on TV and was like, why does it look so funny? Turned out it was in 3D. Haha. Yeah, I felt like a right spazz! And I looked like one as well when I got out a pair of 3D glasses from a Scarecrow Batman comic to watch it, haha.
So yesss, we get a lotta good deaths in episode 3...AND Jason gets his mask! From Shelly, one of the most annoying characters in the series...but he does give Jason his mask so you gotta give him some credit! :)
Now even though I'm all about my final girls kicking my boyfriends butt...Tommy Jarvis in Part 4, played by Corey Feldman, he is definitely a favourite. Tommy is fucking awesome. End of. Even in Part 5 and 6. Not as much as in Part 4 but certainly a challenge of awesomeness.
The other amazing thing about Part 4...CRISPIN FREAKIN' GLOVER!!! Now if you don't LOVE Crispin Glover there is clearly something wrong with you, the guy is a fucking legend and his part in Friday the 13th most definitely accentuates that.
Ooh, now I know I mentioned the original sleeping bag death before in Part 7 as being a favourite, so is the death of Sheriff Garris in Part 6...total spine snapping awesomeness! :)
At the end of the day, Jason is one bad ass mother fucker...nothing can kill his sexy maggot ridden ass, and y'all know it bitches! These wenches might think they can kill my baby but at the end of the day.....
JASON LIIIIIIIIIVES!!!!!! :D
And he looks god dammmmned sexy whilst doing so, bwahahahahaha!!! ;) <3
Dare I say it? This is one of your best posts ever Jennifer. Very cool. Loved all the pics and your thoughts about this fantastic series. I grew up during the height of Jason mania and it was awesome. And by the way Part 2 is my favorite as well. As Amy is one of my fave scream queens. How cool that you got to interview her. On my way now to check out that link. Glad to see you back blogging Jenn. I missed it.
ReplyDeleteDude, I missed it too. Stupid internet connection breaking down on me!!! And thank you, I do love me some Jason! <3
ReplyDeleteI love how you can instantly tell if a writer is from the UK or the US by how they spell favorite, or rather favourite.
ReplyDeleteI dig it when he has the bag on his head. Bags on heads are always creepy. The Orphanage, and The Strangers are both creepy as Hell because of the characters with the sacks with eyeholes on their heads.
Haha, too true! It always annoys me when spell check tries to tell me I'm spelling it wrong, same with colour! Grrr. Haha. And definitely agree on the creepy bag heads...it is just creepy, much creepier than a mask! :D
