Part III Bad Press

As we all know the Friday the 13th films really did not get the positive support by the press as Halloween had received. Then there was the fact that Part III really pissed off a lot of the media reviewers for its redundancy and flat atmosphere due to director Steve Miner having to direct around a 3-D Director of Photography and a 3-D cinematographer. I do love this film and really think the press took this film way too seriously. I think their reviews and commentary are null and void.

Fangoria: Jason II, Behind the Scenes

Fangoria #68

Here are some great shots of Jason from Friday the 13th: Part II that I found in some old Fangoria scans. Some of the shots are well known, in fact they all are being in Fangoria. However, you have got to love these old behind the scenes shots of Steve Dash and Warrington Gillette.

The one I love especially is the one of Jason (Warrington Gillette) crashing through the window at Ginny (Amy Steel). It is a great angle of it and it also proves that Gillette used a pendulum (something he denied) to do this scene. He is clearly on an upward trajectory (hence why his hands are getting farther away from Ginny. Maybe it is not a big deal, but if you were on the old Guts and Gory boards in 2004-6, you'd know why I posted this.

Bruce Mahler on "Fridays" with George Carlin

Thank you, Brandon, for bringing this brilliant piece to my attention. It's from the show Fridays (which was supposed to be a Saturday Night Live ripoff) from 1981 (show G-06) in a skit called K.P.L.O.: Radio Palestine with Friday the 13th: Part IV alum Bruce "Superbowl Of Self Abuse" Mahler and the legendary George Carlin.

Foxy Ladies of Buck Rogers: Kimberly Beck

I horked these photos from the awesome Retrospace Blog in a Foxy Ladies of Buck Rogers post. I was never a huge Buck Rogers fan, in fact I really disliked the show a lot until re-watching it not long ago. Kimberly starred as Allison Michaels in the season 1 episode (#11) Cruise Ship to the Stars that aired December 27, 1979.

Review of Mark Nelson in 'I Am My Own Wife' (2005)

Mark Nelson in I Am My Own Wife
from: Cleveland.com

And in the middle of all: a quiet, perfectly timed and completely assured performance by heroic actor Mark Nelson, who all by his lonesome not only brings vivid life to von Mahlsdorf but to a dozen other principal characters as well. [...]

Semi-Recent Bruce Mahler

Ole Axel, errr, Bruce Mahler still has that goofy grin that we all came to love (albeit for 5 whole minutes) in Friday The 13th: Part IV. This was taken at a 2010 Autograph Nationals event in Pasadena.

Behind the scenes: Dana Kimmell

An interesting BTS photo of Dana Kimmell from Friday the 13th: Part III. It's a reversed negative shot, obviously, but it's a good shot of the closet scene in the film's final act.
