Why being sick is much worse than being hung over...

Well, it's simple really. When your hung over, at worst the residual effects last two days (and by that point, merely an occasional reality lag). When your sick, who the fuck knows - could be a day, could be a week. If you live in a shitty cold place like here, it could take a month to recuperate, much less to prepare for the next round. Come on superhuman immune system!

(Admittedly this is old work, but unfortunately I don't get much better than this. Part 2 to follow shortly.)

13 reasons I need to see the Friday remake

(in somewhat of a particular order)
13) I have to find out whether Marcus Nispel fucked it up like he did when he directed the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake.
12) It sounds as though the the first 3 movies are rolled into one - and I want to see if Shelly's character returns as well.
11) I bet they won't be cool enough to bring back the 'you're doomed' guy (even though he's probably a hundred fifteen by now)
10) It may be refreshing to see a fast Jason, not just a teleportational one.
9) To make sure its not all just some Krueger-induced fever dream (FvJ had a rather ambiguous ending).
8) In order to encourage Hollywood, and distributors to keep backing horror films. The last few years have been good to horror, but they've been dropping the ball on distro and marketing on some really interesting concepts (Repo, Inside, Midnight Meat Train, etc.)
7) You just can't beat a tried and true formula - stalk, kill, repeat. It's like evil shampooing.
6) Mrs. Voorhees, Jason's Burlap Sack, Jason's Hockey mask all together in one movie.
5) I was somewhat disappointed with the resurgence of Michael Myers (arguably my favorite slasher ever). Hopefully F13 makes up for it.
4) Blood, Guts, Tits, Ass, Jason. Duh!
3) I'm a friggin' horror dork.
2) In the vain hope that steadycam isn't used in every single motherfucking scene.
