That guy Ted White who played jason in IV is a doosh for calling the film a piece of shit and not even wanting his name attatched to it, now that he's got nothing else going for him he's gonna milk the fact he was jason for money now.
that seems kinda lame and hipocritical.
but oh well
Exactly Horror Writer . Jerkofwonder ? You think all the Friday movies suck ? Didn't you also say something similar about Halloween ? Why comment then ? If you think the original Friday and Halloween suck, you most certainly are NOT a TRUE horror fan. With that opinion, nobody will ever take you seriously.
They are great at what they do. But what they do is make you enjoy watching a bad movie. If you really think more than 5-10% of movies in this genre could be considered "good movies" by any stretch you are kidding yourself. My point was that it is amazingly easy to understand why any actor who wants a serious career would not want his name attached to Friday the 13th part 4. You guys can say I am not a true fan if you want. But I like Jason, I like gore, the movies are horrible movies.
No Steve Dash, Tom Morga, Ken Kirzinger, or Ari Lehman? They really can't say ALL the JV actors now can they? I also left out a few (if you include Tim Mirkovich and Spencer Stump).
The reason Ted White didn't want his name attached to Part 4 was NOT because they were bad movies! When the early Friday's were made there was a stigma about the whole slasher genre....Especially "Friday The 13th", because of the gore. Church groups actually posted Betsy Palmer's mailing address in the newspapers, because they were appauled with them. It was a different time then, and the general public's view on horror movies was ALOT different than they are now.
i agree with you writer and johnny. anyon who bashes jason one of the most loved horror icons then he aint a true horror fan.
