06.27.06Internet Even though it's not in the box set Micah insisted that this still counts so I was basically guilted into watching this again. I'm sort of glad I did though because I don't hate it nearly as much in the context of the rest of the Nightmare sequels. I still think it's a bit of a missed opportunity with the Freddy in Jason's dreams stuff but... oh well. There are a few good gags here and it doesn't totally shit the goose like parts 5 and 6... It does feel more like Jason's in a Nightmare movie than Freddy in a Friday movie though... maybe that's because Nightmare always had more story than Friday or maybe just because Freddy can talk and Jason can't but for whatever reason... I guess this does count.

I hate how dumbed down this movie is though. Like three different people say exactly what's going on even after we get a lame Freddy monologue at the very beginning... I guess i also have a complaint similar with Aliens vs. Predator: too many humans. I'd love to see a really stark take of this movie where the humans are completely context-less... like they truly are just fodder and we never get to know any of them except in how it affects Freddy and/or Jason...

anyways, i didn't dislike this as much the second time around as I did when I first saw it... had a few fun moments, guess i shouldn't ask for more than that with a movie like this...
