Michael Bay & Friday the 13th
If you didn’t know this, there is a remake of Friday the 13th underway with Michael “Transformers” Bay at the 
helm … with an expected release date in 2009. For those of you that may not remember, he also brought us the remakes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
I’m a big fan of these slasher movies … or at least the originals. Therefore, my natural instinct is to be excited about the opportunity to see the badass Jason and Freddy back on the big screen. However, I can’t say the prior remakes Mr. Bay has made have set the world on fire. Plus, both of these movie properties have been 
done multiple times in the theaters. Therefore, I wonder what the hell else can be done with Freddy/Jason that hasn’t been thought of or done before? I suppose we can wait a while and see Freddy / Jason Versus AARP.
I’ll definitely watch these remakes, but I’m very concerned that Bay will put some crap out that will prevent anyone else from trying to do these movies justice in the near future. If these remakes bomb, no one will have the balls to try to do remake them another time (I predict).
Here’s an idea for Michael Bay … work with a new idea. Most of your work lately has been a rehash of a previous movie or cartoon. Oh yeah … and don’t F’ up these classics … please?
