UPDATE: Here's the complete report, for your enjoyment.
It takes a lot to get me out of the apartment, let alone the state, let alone the Northeast, so I'm happy to report that my recent trip to Austin to visit the set of Friday the 13th was a success. I actually had a lot more fun than I expected and Part 1 of my adventures will be available sometime this week, I believe.
I recently Netflixed a few of the old Friday movies to see if my opinion of any of them had changed and I think I continue to rank them in pretty much the same order as I always have -- the ones in the middle are the best, with all the ones after Part 6 getting increasingly stupid. I was happy that the producers of this remake are confining themselves to the earliest films in mining their thematic elements. Seems like they are on the right track. As of now, I'm embargoed from saying anything more about my trip.
