I think that's the reason Cruise's been an executive producer since 2 or 3, he wanted to a do a bunch of near uninsurable poo poo so he just pays it himself

I’m still convinced Tom Cruise wants to die on camera. Wasn’t he supposed to film in space for one of these new M:I movies?

You sometimes get that on horror franchises. I'm of the opinion that all of the Friday the 13th movies are pretty bad but watchable at an equal level, and someone could probably tell me any one of them is their favorite of the franchise without me batting an eye, except maybe the boat one. By all accounts the Child's Play/Chucky movies have all kinda been great?

The Chucky movies are definitely bad, but after a certain point they got super camp and kinda fun to watch. Even the reboot, while fairly generic for most of the runtime, has its moments of genuinely entertaining schlock.

The first Child's Play is a solid horror flick, can't speak to the sequels or remake.

I think the Child's Play films are largely pretty good. Child's Play is a pretty solid film, with a fun concept and some pretty cool moments /effects. Child's Play 2 is a little less focused but has one hell of a cool climax. Child's Play 3 is, granted, pretty bad but still has some fun stuff (again, with a rad climax). Bride of Chucky is great, just so much fun from start to finish, Seed of Chucky isn't as good but is inventive and different and deserves more praise than it gets. Curse of Chucky is the loving best one and is the only entry that feels genuinely scary, and with Cult of Chucky I didn't quite buy the conceit but I thought it was well made. The reboot is okay I guess, but it didn't really take advantage of the AI thing imo. All and all a solid series by my reckoning, I prefer them to the Fridays just because there's more variance in approach and tone, which makes a series watch through feel more interesting.

They're enjoyable and nostalgic and "safe" in that you don't get suddenly surprised by rape or torture, you're having fun. But outside of a few novel ideas, let's not act like the first one is some sort of classic film. I honestly believe people insisting that haven't actually watched it in years. There are so many shots of a completely black screen with a single wildly swinging flashlight in the distance, and the Final Girl sequence is way too long with half of it too dark to see what the gently caress is going on.

Yeah, the first one's a pretty naked attempt to just cash in on the then-new slasher trend. The second one's got some fun moments and I kind of love the third one? Like I admit it's a dogshit movie but I really enjoy it. Jason X I also kind of love just for how thoroughly it embraces it's terribleness and cheapness. It's like an episode of Lexx that Kane Hodder wanders into with a spacemachete via David Cronenberg.

The Friday movies have a pretty set formula they don't really stray from and it works well enough. Compared to say Nightmare which has 2 good movies and the rest are a mess. Child's Play remake was disappointing because they really didn't do much with the AI idea or really anything else. Mark Hamill was cool as Chucky I guess.

I'd argue that though the Friday films have a better sense of quality consistency between entries, the Nightmare films have way higher highs. The first one, Dream Warriors and New Nightmare are all better than any Friday film imo.

The problem is, they'll have a germ of a good idea, and instead of stopping there, go completely off the loving rails. Jason Goes to Hell starts off with a SWAT team taking him down. There's your movie, right there. A tactical squad gets sent in to apprehend Jason, not knowing or believing what he's capable of. No body jumping worm, no Voorhees Curse. It could've even led into Jason X. Jason's captured. Since he can't be killed, the plan is to freeze him. The military instead wants to exploit him. He escapes, and the military and scientists are trapped in a lockdowned facility while he's on the loose. No space, no androids, no nannites.

Yea people who praise Friday the 13th's consistency are coming from a place of experience with the lowest lows the slasher subgenre has to offer. So if you haven't seen all the Hellraiser sequels or Halloween Resurrection or Nightmare on Elm Street 5 and 6, you really don't understand the full context of the conversation. Friday the 13th maintains at least a middling level of quality across 10+ movies, while still managing to mix up the formula in some interesting ways.

Not sure if this is true but someone told me part 3 was never actually released in 3D, which makes all the "throwing things directly at the camera" shots that much funnier. Karloff posted:I'd argue that though the Friday films have a better sense of quality consistency between entries, the Nightmare films have way higher highs. Oh definitely. That's what I'm saying about the F13 movies, like they're pretty bad but they're consistently bad but watchable. The first Nightmare movie is legit a pretty great movie. It doesn't give Halloween a run for its money but it's better than any actual Halloween sequel (argument to be made about Season of the Witch, but let's say that doesn't count as a sequel) and the vast majority of slashers.

I love Jason goes to Hell because it is incredibly stupid and Creighton Duke is the best character added to the franchise since Tommy Jarvis. I also loved Jason X but that one was basically "Friday the 13th but in space" which works if you're willing to accept the dumb premise and just enjoy the early 2000s trash that it is. Uber Jason isn't my favorite Jason design (Part 7 has the best looking hosed up Jason) but it's still awesome. The only Friday sequels I struggle with are 3 and 8, mostly because so much of 3 is built around 3D effects shots that look dopey without the 3D and I loving hate Shelley. Obnoxious loving character. 8 is just boring as hell and wastes the majority of its runtime on a boat and then has a completely batshit ending that makes no sense. Also lazy Jason design after the amazing work done on the previous movie.
