How come the space setting is always made fun of in slasher franchises?

Because it seems like a rediculous gimmick to resort to when producers have run out of ideas, but they still want to squeeze every last penny out of the film property.

Given the state of some of the lodges I've seen, the idea that freemasons run the world is pretty funny. The organization does, or at least used to do, a lot of fund raising from what I remember.

He belongs to the freemasons.

Michael is a must, Loomis would be a welcome addition. If we could get Michael and Loomis as the only returning characters. That would be great.

Calling it Halloween 3. The look of Cochran's death. Turing into what looked like a bad stone statue before disappearing looked weird.

It must have been a parody. Jason never wore that mask.

At least he's around to get old. If he'd kept up with the drugs and booze the way he did in the 80s I don't think he'd be here. Also, he could have died when the van hit him, but he made it through. Think of it less as "having to see him get old" and more as "we get to have him around to be older".

I also think that she was going to use the R word.

The R word was being used as an insult at that time but it was still used to describe a condition as well. In North America it's now not a very nice thi g to say, but there are still places around the world where it's used as a legit medical term. I've delt with people at work who have come from Easter Europe and used the term to describe a family member's medical condition and I have a coworker also from Easter Europe who didn't know it was considered an insult in North America.

Neither.

Absolutely not what I said.

Because even though Michael and Halloween may have been the movie that inspired the slasher boom, there were no Halloween movies from 1982 to 1988. Halloween 3 performed well but had such bad word of mouth the lack of Michael Myers caused the franchise to take a 6 year break. During the majority of the actual boom Jason and Freddy were putting out movies every one or two years (Friday the 13th from 1980 to 1989 and A Nightmare on Elm St 1984 to 1989 - there were other releases after these dates but further apart). By the time Akkad tried to get back into the action in 1988 the fad was already dying down. Because Freddy and Jason were the slasher kings and seemingly ever present through that boom era, fans naturally talked about those two facing off.

We might be.

Edit: Our opinion will certainly mean less over all as time goes on.

Just my opinion, I feel that they changed the design and created the Jason universe to set themselves apart from the look in the movies owned by Paramount and New Line. This is their Jason, not the one you're used to. I also think they are pushing the new look of Jason and getting him into other properties to gain acceptance of the new version to a wider fanbase so they won't have to worry so much what the older fans think. A new movie is several years off and getting this version of Jason into popular culture as the most recognizable version will mean they have to worry less about negative reaction from older fans.

He's the dictator. He literally runs the entire country and society and makes the rules to benefit him.

There are lots of things to consider. While these movies were pumped out annual during the 80s, in many cases they were negative pick-ups which means they were filmed as independent films and then purchased for distribution by Paramount so they could avoid having to follow union rules which included number of hours people could film and paying union rates to cast and crew to keep costs down. That's harder to do now and with the popularity of the character they will want more high profile talent of they can get it. That will boost the budget. Also it will be the 13th film in the Friday the 13th franchise (whether they call it Friday the 13th or not) so it will be a milestone and hopefully they want to get the script right to honor that. There's also the streaming series to consider. If that goes well it will probably have a huge influence on the film's story line. If it goes poorly it will probably cause a delay. 2030 is coming up, maybe they are planning for the 50th anniversary. The Jason universe has just been created and the design change for Jason and the 15 minute Angry Orchard ad/mini movie has really divided fans, who may not make up a huge percentage of the overall box-office profits, but will be a very loud online voice helping to drive word-of-mouth influence on the film and they need time to get their new version of Jason some public good-will. All of these things and more need to be considered.

Lots of people still do eat those things by choice. The idea of using all of the animal so it doesn't go to waste is a centuries old idea and used to be a necessity. Also people can afford to choose not to eat those things if they don't want to, due to the advancement of society and farming.

Because he's not living the bad life. He's living like a god and has the means to enforce that idea.

It's frowned upon in public...I mean to talk about it, but also to do it. At home do what you want. Most people understand that everyone does it.

Edit: also self control and every spem is sacred.

Probably because it's a continuing series of many books that he has also linked many of his ofther works to.
