His Name Was Jason – Outtakes
Many fans were shocked to see me in the Friday the 13th documentary DVD set “His Name Was Jason.” I have to admit, it felt very surreal to me also. When I was asked to record my own commentary, it was an incredible honor, so naturally, I tried my best. I rambled for several minutes and gave them plenty to work with, hoping that even 2 seconds of my material would make it into the final cut. And I was glad to see they were able to use quite a bit. I have a brief moment in the main feature, talking about my AVGN Friday the 13th review. Then, under the “Fan films” menu, a slightly cut-down edition of my AVGN review is included with a special introduction by myself, knowing that many Friday the 13th fans would be seeing it. Also, under the “Dragged into the lake” menu, there is a short commentary where I’m talking about the moment in Jason Takes Manhattan where he kicks the stereo. As for the rest of the stuff I recorded that didn’t make it in, I thought you might like to see it. I talked about whatever I thought might fit in a documentary like that. Basically, I rambled as much as I could. I also go into a little “show & tell” session where I describe my fanboy experience, getting autographs from Kane Hodder (Jason in Parts 7,8,9,X) and Betsy Palmer (Mrs. Vorhees). Thought you might find it interesting, but it is just me being a fan.
cool

LikeHey James, I was actually shocked that I saw that you wen to Monster Mania Con, that convention is so awesome. I actually met Kane Hodder as well back in June. Along with everyone else who played Jason. That was a badass experience. And just in case you didn't know (which you probably do) there's another convention at Cherry Hill, NJ on March 9-11th. Can't wait to see Robert Englund!

LikeSame for me as with CrazyA.M. I was talking to me friends, one of which coincidentally has the name Jason, and I was like, "Jason Voorhees is awesome." (Yes, I said it out of the blue like that) They all looked at me, turned to Jason, then turned back to me and looked at me like I was an idiot. I stared at each of them from a couple seconds, shook my head in shame, and said Friday the 13th as I walked away.
Seriously, shits-for-brains friends.

LikeI see what you mean when you say nobody knows who Jason is until you just mention "Jason", except nowadays, with younger people, peope won't know Jason Voorhees but they'll imediately recognise him with a hokcye mask. I remember a Malcolm in the Middle episode where Reese is pretending to be crazy so he has two masks to choose from, a Jason mask or a Hannibal Lector mask. The dialogue goes.
"Who should I wear, Hannibal Lector, or hokcye mask?"
I was pissed off when he didn't say Jason Voorhees, I know it's only a little thing but still, it shows that Jason is becoming more and more forgotten in pop culture, sad.
I really wanna get the Friday the 13th boxset soon.

LikeApparently,Palema is a TOTAL FUCKING BITCH in the movie,but Betsy Palmer is actually very nice.How ironic that she actually got that that part.I mean seriously,in the movie,she a crazy bitch,hell-bent on revenge.The one thing that pissed me off to begin with is that she didn't need revenge.She wants revenge for an accidental death.All that happened was Jason drowned because the kids weren't paying attention.i mean,it was only an accident.Get over it.

LikeI got on a brief Friday the 13th stint and decided to watch all the movies. I saw the documentary about the series at the video store and since I love documentaries, I rented it. They started talking about the NES game Friday the 13th, and I smiled thinking of AVGN's review of it. All of sudden, the Nerd pops up and starts talking about it. I was so thrilled. I didn't think they could seriously talk about that game and not have the Nerd mentioned. AVGN rocks!!!
