I Am Very Angry

In an earlier post I celebrated the fact that every Friday the 13th film was on Netflix for your viewing pleasure. Unfortunately, that's not the case. I don't remember seeing two entries on there: The New Beginning (or Part V) and Jason X.

I was anticipating The New Beginning because it's possibly the most notorious Friday the 13th movie. It has the stigma of being polarizing to F13 fans, so you either love it or you hate it. Me being extremely laid back and easy going, I have no problem liking films that other people write seething fanboy hate speech for, (i.e. The Star Wars prequels and the Special Edition Star Wars Original Trilogy, not to mention the other movie, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) so I didn't think I would have a hard time watching this one. It apparently has the biggest body count in any of the Friday films, which is nice, but as per my review of Part IV, having more characters than you can have characterization for is a bad thing.

However, I didn't get a chance to watch this film because Netflix skips over it and goes on to Part VI, which I am not going to watch until I see Part V(if I watch it at all since I don't like the idea of Jason coming back to life). I don't want to spend money on a rental because in this stupid small ass town people abuse rental disks to the point that they are unwatchable, and I don't want to buy a movie that I haven't seen that could potentially suck. I also don't want to watch a poor quality online bootleg, so I'm kind of stuck until I can find a copy to borrow, or UNTIL NETFLIX GETS SMART AND PUTS THIS DAMN MOVIE BACK ON THERE WITH THE OTHERS. I mean, how could you just skip over a movie in a series like this? It would be like skipping The Dark Knight after watching Batman Begins, or Empire Strikes Back after watching Star Wars and going to Return of the Jedi.

That's why instead of watching The New Beginning, I reviewed Deep Red, and I ended up being completely frustrated with that piece of fuck. So now I am angry. I guess I should try to look for someone in this town who could possibly have a copy of this movie, because I don't want to wait for Netflix to get it. I'm still waiting for them to put The Living Daylights back on.

By the by, I don't do the whole Netflix-by-mail thing, so that's out of the question.
