I'm actually getting a few of these to review for CC. Some of them look pretty funny. There's one by the director of Stink of Flesh which I can't wait to check out.

I remember reading the novelization of part 6 like when I was in the 4th grade or something. It was, sadly, one of the first books I finished from begnning to end. I do remember there being a subplot about Jasons dad as the grave caretaker. And I think at the end of the book Jason was watching him.
I really want that Crystal Lake Memories book. I was scrambling for money for airline tickets to the book launch in LA, but alas could not come up with enough. Then the autographed books are crazy expensive, and they sold out of the rest. Is second print out yet?

Dre was mentioning that on twitter, I dunno if he has it or what.

My favorite 3D shot is the juggling bit. It's actually a really nice-looking shot, despite being hilariously gimmicky.

And does 3D really work at home? How big does the screen have to be to get that effect? I remember Matchstick's friend's tale (was it Misfit?) about wearing 3D glasses while watching the Freddy's Dead, and thinking he blinded himself afterwards.

The pic was to illustrate that they converted it to shitty red and blue. I don't know why, but I assumed that if MBV can be in 3D with digital projection, blu-ray should be capable of same. Fuck red-blue 3D.

But can DVD/Blu-ray display real-D 3D at home?

This is also known as the saddest day in the history of anyone's life ever.

Paramount still has it all wrong. It's cool that they finally put it out in 3-D but where are the special features? I was hoping we'd finally get Chris' decapatated head alternate ending.

They're probably saving that for the quadruple dip. Fucking Paramount.

Observations: no one in this film is a great actor, but the women are all head and shoulders above the men in terms of acting skills. EVERY male is terrible.

I pine for the days of 3D when adjusting a TV antenna brought oohs and aahs from audience members.

The white guy in the mandatory racially diverse gang of thugs looks exactly like Scott Thompson from Kids In The Hall.

The 3D cameras make this the worst looking film in the series. The lens looks as if they dipped it in the lake to clean it.

Are the women better? Not sure I agree with that. Shelley and the bikers are fun to watch b/c they're such characters but everyone else is terrible as all hell to me. The 3D is complete shit, so much so that 20min into the recent DVD release I took of the glasses and watched the 2D version instead. Love the disco remix of the theme music though.

Everyone is pretty uniformly terrible in the film, although the "handsome" boyfriend of our lead girl is actually one of the worst actors to appear in the entire series. So there is that.

The distinction for the females in PART 3 (for me) has always been that the three main girls look weirdly similar. A rare case in a horror movie where no one saw fit to cast a blond.

Yeah, the gals are all mousy brownhairs and one sort-of-Latina.

I'm serious. The guys are all WAY worse than the women. Maybe it's their dialogue, but Shelley, Paul, Hippie Who Seems Ten Or Twenty Years Too Old To Be Hanging With This Group - all shit.

Score is awesome.

Yep, agreed. It's one of the best songs in the series, I dare say, almost as great as Lion's Love Is A Life, as danced to-in a great manner-by Crispin Glover in TFC.

The movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. I realize it's technically not good but it is still wildly entertaining.

When I got the DVD version of the movie in 3-D, I saw it on a small TV with my DVD player, and cripes did that ever look not good. Then I later saw it on a Blu-Ray player on a big TV and the upconversion does help. I understand that the Blu-Ray disc looks better but it's not like seeing it on the big screen at all; you lucky sons of bitches who have seen it in a theatre.

Why films that are throwbacks to this kind of movie aren't as good as the real thing:

Adam Green would have shot the handstand death long, with a CGI splitting boy, and all sorts of goopy insides. In the movie, what actually happens is kind of confusingly shot, FORCING you to use your imagination, just to make heads and tails of what happened. I actually got a little queasy the first time I saw it, despite actually seeing any kind of gore.

Definitely the high-point of the film.

I thought the movie ground to a halt during the gelato selection scene:

Ugh, he's so indecisive. I keep expecting him to ask to try a little sample of each one. Just pick a fucking flavor and be done with it.

Small trick that worked wonders on the dvd release: Wear two pairs of the glasses together while watching in a completely darkened room, using the "Cinema" picture option on your tv. It's a trick that's been bandied around the net on the release of the first dvd and it did really improve the 3-D. Unfortunately, the overall quality is still probably not worth wearing the glasses the entire time just to see the handful of shots that work seamlessly.

The blu-ray release, from what I heard, seems to have a better anaglyphic scheme. I really think the anaglyphic positioning on the dvd release is off. Unfortunately, I'm not ready to pony up another $15 for the blu just yet.

Why the dvd boxset commentary for Part 3 didn't make the Special Edition releases is beyond me. It's a fun commentary to boot.

I really hope to see Part 3 in the theater again one day. To this day, I still think the 3-D effects in it are more fun and (ahem) eye-popping than even the current crop of 3-D films. Not only did the opening titles pop off the screen, but they came halfway, paused a beat, and then extended on out even further. Great stuff!

Apple-Cinnamon and Banana is the obvious choice for any retarded serial killer with self respect.
