On Thursday I watched my new copy of the "Friday the 13th" remake/reboot/re-imagining and I'm happy to say that I feel the same way I did months ago when I saw it in the theatre.  Let the "purists" hate if they wanna.  This movie is a fucking blast.  It's like a mix tape of all the things I loved about these movies when I was a kid - it's scary, funny, exciting, has an engaging cast (including Jared Padalecki from TV's "Supernatural") and several ghoulishly inventive suspense sequences, and on top of all that it looks fantastic.  It also has a surprising amount of respect for the originals and what their fans expect and enjoy (as well as several visual references to the previous films), which is why all the hate is baffling to me.  Oh well.

And yesterday I went to Yuba to hang with my Mom and my nephew -  I showed them "Pete Seeger: The Power Of Song", we went out to dinner, and then I showed my nephew "Splinter" - it was all awesome.

Have a great weekend!
