Faux Voorhees - Canary faces Friday the 13th A New Beginning

Here's a little addendum to my October Horror Movie Challenge posts; this month I'm trying a little something coined #NewWatchNovember, trying to make all movies, TV etc. I see new to me.  Not going to make it formal or anything, it's purely for fun, and it's helping me be more decisive about what things from the unwatched Blu Ray pile I do next.  Part of this is taking care of a few leftover things from the October Challenge Pile, both clearing out the spreadsheet (yes, I have spreadsheets to organise my movie viewings) and making space on the DVD rack. Well during this sorting out, I realised that I had on the spreadsheet something that's been on there for ages which I still hadn't seen; Friday the 13th Part V.  The only reason I actually have a copy of it is that it's on the same Blu Ray disc as Part VI Jason Lives, easily my favourite of the entire run, but I've never even bothered to watch V normally, because of its terrible reputation.  When something is considered "the worst one" in a series like Friday the 13th, which isn't exactly a critical darling at the best of times, you know that's something pretty bad.  So given it was the date itself yesterday, I decided to have a mini-challenge; see if I could get a bunch more donations on the Fundraiser on the promise that I spend that evening (on a Friday the 13th that had started out very, very, very well) slogging through this.  Well, the people spoke with their wallets, so let's dig into the Friday that even a lot of die hard Jason fans have turned their backs upon.  Spoilers ahoy...

The Morlocks Will Be Right! - Leaving with Dignity? Yeah, right!

Wow, haven't done one of these in a little while.  This is the heading I use for a little political rant, and in case you didn't notice, quite a major political development happened this weekend.  The day I've been dreaming of for four years, The Furious Orange defeated.  But of course, from before the election, I knew that if Biden did win, Orange Julius would be a sore loser, and not go away without causing a whole heap of trouble.  Now thankfully, despite all of The Cheeto's boasting, and his lawyer displaying his legal prowess at in a car park between a crematorium and a dildo store on Saturday (that will never stop being hilarious!) his chances at actually changing the result are at a very low to negligible probability.  Here's a thread that can explain a lot of these reasons why better than I can.  The short version is that plain and simple, the sheer scale of electoral fraud he'd have to prove across many states, to get five digits' worth of votes disqualified in each one, when so far the only possible case of voter fraud to be seen is... a Republican voter trying to vote twice, it's impossible. (Mind, I am still touching wood after saying that; this is 2020!)  What I'm going to do here is just give my thoughts on why the administration is doing this, why some Republicans are going along with it... and a little prediction for something that might happen before this all ends.
