After a lot of people telling me that Supernatural was a good show I downloaded the pilot from the Xbox Marketplace*. It was okay for a show about two gay male models who imitate Buffy and The X-Files. It was okay enough that I’ll download the upcoming episode I heard about where Jason Voorhees makes a guest appearance. That’s kind of a cool cross over.
But… what if it didn’t stop there? As you know, Platinum Dunes is resuscitating the Friday the 13th franchise, and now they’ve announced their first casting choice: Supernatural‘s Jared Padalecki (one of the gay male models. Not sure which one) will play the lead, a guy who – get this – ‘investigates what happened up at
Crystal Lake.’ Could he be playing his Supernatural role?
I doubt it, but I bet that somewhere on the web a forum will be abuzz with this.
By the way, the Platinum Dunes Friday the 13th keeps getting called a remake, and to the best of my knowledge (and my knowledge is not the best at the moment), it’s not. Unlike the original Friday, this has Jason as the killer. Unlike Friday Part 2, this has Jason in the hockey mask. My understanding is that this takes place some time during the series. It’s like Platinum Dunes finally figured out that you have to free Jason from all the half assed continuity and just have fun with the character.
Friday the 13th will hit theaters on Friday the 13th of February, 2009. Jesus I want to visit this set.
*Seriously, fuck your hi def discs, this is the future.

The thing that makes Supernatural so good is that they constantly make fun of the fact that it's essentially about two hot gay guys arguing with each other and killing demons.
That and the creative input from people like Ben Edlund.
Check out the Rashomon-style episode for a bit of self awareness on their part: Episode 2.15: "Tall Tales" (it's fairly similar to the Luke Wilson X-Files episode, but again they aware of the "gay" thing).
NEXT FRIDAY THE 13th, with the triumphant return of Chris Tucker. SMOKEY VS. JASON. DO IT.
Devin's all, "I got an XBox and I download HD with it. This is my only experience in HD, therefore it is the future of HD. Also, I'm going to say that any time HD comes up. The future of HD is downloaded images because people don't need hard copies of things."
Right on, j9yrt. Devin's the Harry Knowles of CHUD when it comes to shit like this.
Just a heads-up – the Supernatural/Friday the 13th crossover didn't happen. It was supposed to happen in one of the most recent episodes involving our two main protagonists getting trapped in their dreams (which would sound more like a Nightmare on Elm Street crossover really). I remember the TV Guide interview with Eric Kripke where eh stated that the dream episode was going to be the ep the crossover would be in. Well, I caught the episode when it aired – no crossover. After doing some digging it appears that securing the rights didn't pan out. So sadly, any further enticement for you to watch another ep is gone. Though I will say that I agree that the pilot wasn't great, I've stuck with the series since it began and I think it's gotten alot better to the point that it's one of the shows I look forward to every week. Then again, you do have more descriminating tastes than mine, so my opinion of the show may not be enough to get you to watch another episode.
Devin mentions homosexuality and butt sex a lot for a supposedly straight man
I think the half-assed continuity is part of what makes the F13 films fun, hopefully there will be some nod to the *ahem* "bumpy road" of storytelling faults in the series in the new film.
Dude in the pic looks like Scut Farkas.
I'm going to heap some love onto supernatural. They constantly make fun of Sam for looking and acting gay. In fact, one ENTIRE episode is told from 2 perspectives, one of sam, and one of dean. In sam's perspective, Dean is a womanizing, drunken, buffoonish lout. In Dean's perspective, Sam is an effeminate, oversensitive, flaming queer.
The show is extremely self aware, but make sure you don't watch it because its got two gay supermodels in it.
Loser.
"fuck your hi def discs"? Well, I like my wittle high def discs. Sure downloading may become more popular, but when your hard drive crashes due to some virus and deletes you entire collection of 10,000 albums/movies, which happend to myself(although I had download them off actual CD's for the most part. Booyah!) you want to say fuck you to an intangible piece of crap that can so easily be destroyed. Just redownload with my subscription? FUCK THAT. I don't want to subscribe to some monolith like Microsoft, so the can vaccum more dollars out of my wallet, just for "convenience" sake. When the world ends and internet is no longer running. I will be sitting in my little hovel with my sawed off shotgun, a bong, and my library of crystal clear high def movies. Maybe that's being a little dramatic…..
"Devin's the Harry Knowles of CHUD when it comes to shit like this."
Amen. Nothing but instigation and
trolling ( "Seriously, fuck your hi def "discs, this is the future" – nuff said ). Makes me long for Nick's writing on the site. Nick could be mean, but he balanced it with a wicked wit and geek's love for language and obscure references.
Devin just seems… I don't know …poisoned? Toxic, like his blood supply has been replaced with bile and spite.
Having said that, I like the idea with Jason. I'd love to see The Winchester Bros.take on some archetypal slasher icons. Copyrights being what they are, why not create new ones – "nudge,nudge, wink,wink" characters that the fans will get. Would be cool.
This catty bitch of a man goes around calling this show gay? Really? Good lord.
RCA–So you had your entire collection of movies and music on ONE hard drive? Back that shit up, man! And the rest of you are totally right, downloads will never be the primary way movies are purchased. After all, CD sales are still the primary method most people use to get their music, right? Right?
In my opinion, Supernatural didn't hit its stride until Season 3. At least I think this show just gets better every season. They still ape ideas in season 3 but its fun. They're not just gay models…they're geeks!
Haha. You are an obnoxious human being, Devin.
I'm so happy comments are on the site now. The constant vitriol for Devin only confirms for me what I've suspected all along. That Devin is everything I ever wanted in a woman, somehow freakishly crammed into the body of a fat italian. Keep being an asshole Devin, we love you for it!
hey, you should be grateful they're not remaking 'Jason X.' Or 'Jason Takes on Manhatten.' Or another 'Freddy vs. Jason'.
I would lol forever if Jared's character in the remake was named Sam. Who has a brother/gay lover (debatable in spn fandom) named Dean. And they drive a black muscle car.
Be glad Jared's co-star isn't Paris Hilton, ala House of Wax.
Devin wishes he were Judd Apatow, I remember when he wished he were Kevin Smith. Hey I thought "gay" was the only cultural disparagement we can still use to insult people, but there is "fat." Devins a stupid gay fat ass.
Oh no! He finally went and said it! Downloadable content is the future! Fuck! Devin — what isn't off limits for you, you terrifying futurist? Did you just think of that? Shit. No, seriously. Shit. No one has ever had as blindingly bright a mind as you. Physical media is on its way out? Damn. You just A-bombed my brain with your freaky, fringe, wild theories. Shit! We got another Isaac Newton here.
retarded people are smarter than you
jealous much of the cute boy that they are? the show just gets better and better every season and delivers in the horror department.
For "not knowing" which one of the "gay supermodels" they had chosen, it's amazing that you have the correct pic on here……I love when men are jealous of handsome, no wait, HOT men so all they can do is call them gay. Turn off the X-Box and try a little thing called…..reality. lol
Coach: I put 'Jared Padalecki' in Google Image Search. Like magic this image popped up.
"It was okay for a show about two gay male models who imitate Buffy and The X-Files."
This clearly demonstrates that you don't have a clue what you are talking about. Each to his own but this sentence is such a great example for ignorance and thoughtlessness that I stopped reading the article immediately.
The guys who make the the most gay jokes are pretty much always the ones with the closet full of anal nitrate and shiny red pumps. Keep on overcompensating, Chumly.
Supernatural is the best written show on TV. Kudos for knowing Ben Edlund writes for it but that doesn't save you from completely making a fool of yourself there 'Devin'. That didn't give you any credibility.
The two guys play brothers. Nothing gay about it. The one bangs random girls (insinuated of course).
So ya…pull your head out of your ass. Turn off Heroes (which sucks) and shut down Final Draft (this is as good as its gonna get for you) and watch some of the most recent episodes. Or just wait a few years and jump on the bandwagon at the last second like this site did with Angel. Supernatural is far better than Angel if that does anything for you.
Arse.
Am going to have to quote the post by captain justice cause I completely agree with what was said.

Downloading movies is the future, but it's a future that is at least ten, if not closer to twenty years away. And while I may not be the "majority", I would rather buy the physical CD than buy the music online.
Frankly I find it odd that there is any concern about who is and isn't gay? Is this a high school locker room? It's stupid on Devin's part to throw in his gay comments to undermine the show (but in a way that if anyone calls him on it, he can cover his ass), and it's stupid that people defending the show are questioning Devin's sexual orientation. Let's just be fair: Devin is an unattractive hetero and the homosexuals don't want him (while the 'gay' leads of the show could probably bag any man or woman they wanted.)
This site used to seem intelligent and socially forward… that must have gone out with Nick. I'll save you all the time. "Joseph is a total fag."
Devin's the kind of bitch-flapping gummy who would be viciously gang-raped and then shanked in the bunghole AMERICAN ME style in prison. Why? Because he's got diarrhea of the mouth: something he gives the fat slags he picks up from Myspace after a blowjob in a Hell's Kitchen dive's bathroom.
Mr. Faraci meets Mr. Adabisi. Download that one, Dev.
Devin's an embarrassment. This site actually used to be pretty cool, but Devin's really dragged it down. No wonder the hits have gone steadily downward.
jared will be the ONLY reason i watch this re-make.
and so the brothers take care of each other – and kick major ass while doing it.
it sounds a little like you're jealous, devin.

Downloading video media may be the future, but downloading it with hardware that has like a 30% failure rate?
While downloading is most likely the future, i highly doubt we'll be living in a world without people archiving what they download. Yes, Devin, downloads are the future, but don't forget about the now.
