JASON IS NOT A FUCKING POT FARMER 10:31pm, February 13, 2009
I never truly got worried about our future until this week, when I saw no less than four reviews, some by well respected (for some reason) movie critics, who watched the new Friday the 13th and got the impression that Jason was a pot farmer and it was his weed that the kids were after.
Now, granted, this Jason is a little smarter and more cunning than the original series' Jason, but a fucking pot farmer??? How goddamn dumb do you think the creators of this movie are? Even if that was ever an idea, I can guarantee someone else in the room would point out how fucking stupid it was.
But what really makes it sad/baffling/frustrating is that the ACTUAL pot farmer is a CHARACTER IN THE MOVIE!!! ONE THAT JASON FUCKING KILLS!!! Jesus christ, it's the hillbilly guy who has the attic full of random shit (it looks like he robbed the walls of a TGIFridays up there), including a hockey mask, which Jason takes for himself after his potato sack is damaged. The guy even OFFERS TO SELL SOME OF HIS PRIZED WEED to Jared Padelecki's character, if for no other reason than to make it PERFECTLY FUCKING CLEAR where the macguffin pot came from.
Do these people think Jason was working with this guy to sell pot? Or were they pot farmer rivals, which is why Jason killed him?
We live in a world where people, people that other people actually LISTEN TO, can't even follow the plot of a goddamn Friday the 13th movie (one spearheaded by Michael Bay no less - hardly a go-to guy for intellectual cinema). That's scarier than anything in the movie.
Yaaaa i just saw the movie like 20 mns ago and the guy did say that he found the pot. Dammit now my brother is saying that he planted it all. KICK ASS MOVIE!!! EVERYBODY GO SEE IT NOW!!
THANK YOU for Posting this Message. I Read The "Review" Yesterday B4 I went to see The Movie & I was sad to think Jason was turned into a Pot Farmer. Then I saw The Movie & I totally didnt get or think at all Jason was a Pot Farmer.The weed was a part of the Plot but nowhere Did I think Jason was Growing the shit.I Enjoyed the Movie I saw it as a Reimagining & NOT A REMAKE thus I didnt let the Tweeks Bother me.I thought some of the kills were rather cool IE Sleeping Bag scene & The Dock Scene Also The Cop. It was an Enjoyable Fun Movie & I Hope It Does well More Derek Mears as Jason.
I haven't read a review by someone like this (fortunately) but I fully expected negative reviews from critics. I saw the movie last night and thought it was great, but since it was a horror movie in wide release without subtitles and a passionate love story, then critics are obviously going to pan it.
Well, the kids in the beginning were using a GPS system to find it. Do you really think Jason is smart enough to somehow tell them the coordinates of where the pot is, for them to put it in their GPS system? Come on, thinking is not that hard to do.
i trully enjoyed the remake way better than halloween and i dont care what you guys say life is way scary than these movies i think Jason rocked and all i went to see was him slice and dice which he did
Jason truly wasn't a pot farmer, nor did he at any point seem truly concerned about said marijuana. It was just an unfortunate coincidence (for the teenager with a wandering eye) that such epic weed grew so close to his home. The message here was obvious: try to sell weed in the country, your ass is gonna get chopped in half.
I bet the hillbilly douche grew the pot. He isn't going to say " Hey, I grow pot in the woods." On the other note, I enjoyed the remake. What's wrong with kills that don't involve Jason punching a boxer's head off of a building and into the trash can? It's all relative anyways....
Yeah, the guy did said he found the pot in the woods, but the point still stands! Only a moron would assume that Jason is a pot farmer. What would make them think that? There's pot in this movie. Jason is also in this movie. Therefore, Jason is a pot farmer. BRILLIANT!
Jason Lives in woods where Pot is being grown! That makes it his property! someone call the cops! Jason is a Pot growing Farmer! Lets just light up and RELAX! Enjoy this movie which is excellant and Breaking all Box Office Records for Horror since The Exorcist!
I completely agree with this article...but do any of us really care if he grew it or not? I mean come on...its a fucking Friday the 13th movie..not Schlindler's List!!!! it doesn't have to make since!!!...and anyone who thinks it does, watch Part III- Freddy vs. Jason again...and for those saying this was worse than Jason Takes Manhattan...are you fucking high?
If you saw the movie then, its obvious that jason is a pot farmer. Anda reliable source says in the sequel he takes his business to Manhattan to wheel and deal his product.
it's pretty easy to get the impression though, but last night some drunk asshole felt the need to yell " Holy shit Jason's harvestin' some bud". the entire theatre laughed at this and encouraged him to keep talking for about fifteen minutes trying to get a similar response from the audienc until someone yelled for him to shut the fuck up. it as a pretty stupid descision on the writers part, but definatly forgivable seeing as the movie was sick all the same.
The guy said a friend of his planted some and gave him the directions to it. When someone says it then thats as simple as one can get but still its fun to joke about.
Regardless of whether or not Jason sells weed, it was nauseating how many references to reefer there were in the flick. We get it, people like to get high. We even made the joke during the film that Jason started killing people because someone pissed on his plants. All of the other
I think Jason is selling pot Because somebody has to pay the eletric bill remember part in movie where kids are hiding and Jason flips the power switch on and turns the lights on to find them Im just saying it makes scence
Yes thought of that but never saw or heard generator running! Hillbilly said twice somebody is stealing Kerosene! Never seen generator that will run on Kerosene! Gas or maybe Diesel!
My idea is that kids at the camp grew some pot a while back while the camp was open. Once all the kids were killed it kinda just grew and grew. So when the farmer came by it he was all "Holy shit! A ton of pot!" So yeah, Jason himself totally did not grow it.
tylerdq is absolutely right... the hillbilly does say he found the pot... so he's not the reason it is there... that said, it either grew naturally or belongs to another near by neighbor.
The guy said at the beginning of the movie that a friend of his gave him the directions to where the weed was. But good god I wish I could grow some weed like that. The only thing I can think that Jason had to do with it was shitting on the plants and thats how they got so big. Yes fertilizer helps things grow.
If only Jason had tried to smoke a little of it... he would've been so chilled out, so many lives that could've been saved if only Jason had experimented with drugs.
The guy that Jason kills and takes his mask Found the pot. Well I agree that Jason being a Pot dealer/grower is the dumbest thing since Greedo shooting first. I could see how some dumb ass high schoolers could get confused. Because it is never made clear who's pot it is.
I always figured that the hillbilly was growing it and just didn't want to admit to a total stranger that he was growing it. Because he had the weight all set up and plenty of other weed paraphernalia around, so it's clear he wasn't really a noob on such matters. But even if its not his, it sure as fuck isn't Jasons.
Maybe you should set aside your apparent love for a piece of shit movie for two seconds and think about what you saw.
The movie IMPLIES (that means suggests) that the weed is Jason's. It doesn't come out and say it is, but it certainly implies it. Each time someone goes near it or takes some of this famous weed they get butchered. The hillbilly said he FOUND the weed, and your ignorance on that matter has been pointed out several times in these comments already.
Are the filmmakers stupid enough to do that? Yes, they are. They're stupid enough to write lines like "Take that, Mother Fucker!" and "say hi to mom in hell!" So for them to try and be clever or funny by making Jason a pot farmer is not outside the realm of possibility. Unfortunately, making a good Friday the 13th movie is.
BTW I am one of the critics who thought that. Whether I'm a "respected" critic, who knows.

The pot was just a means to an end to get the retarded characters to Jason's land to kill them. It was just there, let's leave it at that. I didn't even get the sense that it was his. Think about it...what do pot growers do? they sell it and smoke what they don't sell, and I sure as hell didn't see any blacklight posters or bongs lying around the Voorhees household. Did you?!?
Apparently you can become super rich by selling a little weed! That kind of naivety wold pass in the earlier films, but not this. If it was Jason's pot, I think he'd have fixed up his house a little.
Garon, maybe you should set aside your short-sightedness: THERE IS NO IMPLICATION THAT THE POT WAS JASON'S!!!! MEANS TO AN END FOR A TERRIBLE MOVIE!!!
It isn't short sightedness, sir. It just interpret what I saw, namely everyone coming into contact with it being killed. it's subjective I guess. I hated the movie and thought the script was complete garbage and doing so allowed me to believe that the pot was Jason's, whether he grew it himself or is just defending it. Someone who thought this movie was the second coming of christ (which a lot of people seem to think) obviously would not go to that place.
I do agree with you that the script was garbage. I wanted to leave after Jason's mom died.
I honestly think the pot was just a plot device for that 1st set of characters including the farmer guy because, nobody else went near it or even knew about it after that.
Funny. It's such a "shitty" movie that even haters have to post on and on about whether or not the weed was Jason's. Maybe the weed was another of Jason's traps, meant to lure in young tokers so they could get butchered. No more implausible, I suppose, than Jason killing the hillbilly as some kind of drug war vendetta. It's just a slasher movie, get over it! They were never examples of fine cinema anyway!!
"i need to find a reason to hate this movie before i even see it so when i do see it i can just hate it"
"oh look theres pot around where jason is from, i hate this movie now"
I love the "pot farmer" angle. Even if its not true, its the right angle to expose these shitty movies for the trash they are. Enjoy your pot-farming Jason and cry baby trailer-trash Michael Myers, you-tube kids.
I think people said he was a pot farmer to be funny, because it is a coincidense that anyone who comes near the pot in his woods dies. Secondly the guy selling the pot said he found it, not that he grew it. Third, quit crying like a little bitch.
OMG u dont understand anything? why did u think jason got so angry at thoose teenagers? becouse he thought they had taken his pot!!!:O hehe no im just joking:P yeah i agree, the whole pot thing was just really stupid..
he didnt use electric, i got the impression that jason used kerosene for the lights. because the hillbilly pot farmer says someones been takin my kerosene
1 thing for everyone.the guy with the GPS and the farmer were clearly friends.the farmer found it and told the guy with the GPS thats why he said a friend told me about it.
3 reasons why the pot was clearly Jasons:
1.everytime some one got close he kills them.
2.the farmer wasnt there for one day and jason clearly knew he farmed there but the second jason catches him with the weed he kills him.
3.Remember us 70s-00s horror fans they are trying to appeal to a whole new generation and not us who like horror in the years ive named.so what way to appeal to the younger generation of all races WEED WEED and WEED.We all like the sex and kills but WEED is in.
I know the thought of jason as a weed farmer is sickening but this movie took place in the 01-09 frame not the great 70-00 time.
The reiewer is actually a pot farmer and is in constant dread that he will be caught very soon, so hes trying to convince everybody that jason is a pot farmer so that when he does get caught he can say the movie influenced him and then the people behind the film will get sued and in trouble and he'll be a helpless victim on influencial media.
P.S. I'm not sure this is true but its what my opinion on the situation is. :) keep on slashin!
