Guess what guys, whatever version of Jason or Freddy or Myers or anyone else you have in your head as the "Iconic" version of that character, because it's your favorite........blah blah blah......YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO SEE IT AGAIN!!!!!!! It's been done. Do you think these filmmakers sit down in the meeting and tell the studio brass, "I'm going to do John Carl Beuchler's Jason."??? Hell no, it's going to be THEIR Jason. We want to see the same workshirt, pants, boots and hockey mask because that's what we know and love because we are freakishly obsessed with these corny-ass slasher flicks. These filmmakers, on the other hand, are NOT freakishly obsessed fanboys. They could give two shits about whether Jason is wearing a tattered burlap jacket or a tattered sears workshirt because, hard as it is to imagine for fanboys, IT DOESN'T F@#*KING MATTER. Not to them and not to the teeny boppers who are going to shell out their 9 bucks on these flicks, skip out midway through the movie and bang their girlfriend in the parking lot. Have you considered why Jason even wore the workshirts in the old flicks anyway? Same reason Michael Myers' mask was a friggin spraypainted Captain Kirk.......it was cheap throw-together crap. It really didn't matter. You can imagine them making the movie and saying something like, "Jason's wardrobe?, just throw some old work clothes on him, I don't care as long as he doesn't look too clean." That friggin olive green workshirt was probably the first thing someone found laying around. Some friggin $7 an hour grip was probably walking around the set in 1983 going, where the hell's my shirt? The jacket is probably there because it was there in the last movie Jason was in. They are trying to appeal to the same audience that went to FvJ. Hell, they probably think their target audience won't recognize Jason without that damn jacket. As much as we want to believe <i>we're</i> the target audience......we're not. Hollywood doesn't give a shit about fanboys. It's probably a good thing they don't or they wouldn't make any money at all. That damn hockey mask is gonna change in every movie too. It was the same in 3-8 or whatever because they made a buch and just recycled the same old crap because it was CHEAP. These studios will give the filmmakers the money now to make a new mask because they think they can make it "better" or make it their own. I'm not a fan of the look, but I can also pop in the dvd of the Jasons that I like and watch them anytime i want. I hope the story is good. I don't like the new batman costume, but the Dark Knight was FANTASTIC! I complained when they cast Heath Ledger and saw what he looked loke. "Joker's not s'posed to be wearing makeup, he doesn't have scars.....blah blah blah. It makes perfect sense to to Joker the way they did because it's *gasp* believable. Our society doesn't really have that fantastical element in our taste for entertainment anymore, people want to see something that's more believable. We're all Jaded, folks. That's why Jason's not a zombie anymore. A random psychopath in a hockeymask is believable. If they tried to show the Joker falling into chemical waste and it bleaches his skin, makes him grin and have green hair, today's audience would say, that's bullshit, you get cancer and die. Lunatic paints his scarred face up and blows people to hell......much more believable. Ya gotta stick with what works folks.
IT'S ALIVE!
