Friday the 13th: In 7 Minutes

Only a little over 3 months until the Great Horrorthon 2006. This should wet everyone's appetite!

Wow, that was actually kind of hard to take. I found myself wanting just a teeny bit more context. Man, I watched every single one of those last year.

Hey, remember when I discussed doing body count ratings and you guys were jerks about it?

Oh, okay, you weren't jerks. You made the very valid point that it would kinda ruin the movies for people if they knew the numbers ahead of time.

But the kill-counter in the Jason thing made me think: what if we each kept a total body count going, to ourselves, and then did that as a sidebar item at the end? Huh? Huh?

Wow, that is quite impressive, and as Octo noted, a bit dizzying. How come Freddy vs. Jason wasn't included?

It was! It just wasn't last. For some reason they did FVJ and then stupid ol' Jason X.

I think they did FVJ before Jason X to keep it in chronological order for some weird obsessive reason. I like the body count idea although sometimes I just want to watch a movie without a pen in hand so I can't promise it. Maybe if we did it just for the standard slasher flicks? A body count in a zombie movie is almost pointless because the dead come back to life etc...

Well, I was thinking of keeping it fairly loose. I wouldn't want to put in more effort than "hmm, how many people died in that movie I saw three days ago?...Four?"

(For best effect, imagine "Four?" as delivered by Rodney Dangerfield in Back To School.)
