I know this is a spin-off from at least 2 existing threads, but I just have to speak my mind about Mears' great performance. I went in to see the remake expecting a pile of feces, and instead, came out with a Joker's grin on my face. And while I acknowledge that the whole movie in general was fun (IE: there were tons of boobs, the actors and kills were <b>great</b>, and the FX work was really inventive), I just can't get over Mears' great Jason performance. MAN, was he good! I also saw his various little nods to previous "Jason" actors shine through on film - as he had hoped they would. Most notably:The chain choking scene and wide-open running were both totally Richard Brooker...The quick, jerky fighting movements, general anger, and head-tilt were Ted White all the way...He held himself a lot like Steve Dash's "Jason" while wearing the bag...His jump through the window was obviously modeled on Warrington Gillet...Last but certainly not least, the ending was 100% Ari Lehman! <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /> Honestly, I expected this film to be another "Zombieween", so needless to say that I'm flabbergasted at the Great Mountain of Awesome that IS this entire movie. But back to my original subject, ....<b><u>THREE CHEERS FOR DEREK MEARS!!!</u></b>Cheers,Ryan
