I've only ever seen Friday the 13th Part II and the only time I jumped was at the beginning ... which was a scene from the first movie.
My food is problematic.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Given, I'm a Friday the 13th fan in general, I feel the need to defend Jason X.
Is it GOOD? Oh, dear lord, no. But it is entertaining and wonderful in it's badness.

If I only had a brain...
She was fighting to the death, probably as many times as it took.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It didn't go far enough. It almost seemed like they were trying to be so-bad-it's-good, but then so many aspects made it seem like they were trying to be a real movie, it undercut the potential. All the "humor" came off as just inappropriate, out-of-place, and forced, when it could have been funny.

Ah, P-C. Agreed, it didn't hit the comedic heights of Jason killing a girl who was doing the Robot in part 5, or Jason punching that dude's head off in Jason Takes Manhattan , but it still had its moments.

The best part was the virtual reality Crystal Lake. "WE LOVE PREMARITAL SEX!" This is disregarding the complete ludicrousness of the VR setup, in which one can walk into a VR environment without wearing anything, and actual machetes can cut up virtual aliens.

That was obviously the high point, but I found the ridiculousness of the VR ruse almost as funny as Jason's "dream situation".

I can't even.
complete ludicrousness
Dude. It was a Jason Movie. Ludicrousness comes as standard equipment. However, it did have a high Lexa Doig rating, and that's why I watched it.

Art Crawl!!!
I was looking at Yahoo photos and noticed all these pictures of Reese Witherspoon with dark hair.
I wondered why and checked the IMDB.
She will be playing June Carter in a movie about Johnny Cash.

Link to brunette Reese, please.
