    Jeepers Creepers 3 and 4

    YES!

    Quote Quoting Ray Wise
    "It begins right where the second one ended, right there in that barn with the Creeper on the wall and me the old man waiting there with my harpoon gun. The script for 'Jeepers Creepers 3' is complete," Wise tells BD. "They're in pre-production planning now. I'm hopeful that sometime in the next two or three months we'll get a start date...[MGM] definitely want[s] to do it, and it's just a matter of putting together all the final financing I believe...I think it's gonna be a go in a couple of months."

    Ooh, it continues right where the second left off, I like the sound of that.

    It's been some time since I've seen them, but I recall the first was pretty darn good, and the second was painfully bad.

    I would say the first 3/4 of the first movie is stellar. Combines some great use of horror imagery with a little comedy and Justin Long is at the top of his game. It's when they get to the lady's house where it starts to fall apart.

    The second movie is mostly bad, but the intro is phenomenal in the corn field. I can't stand some of the logic the movie makes about decision affecting the characters in the bus.

    I like them both a fair bit, the second is particularly underrated.

    The first half of the first movie - up until the full reveal of the monster - is some of the finest horror filmmaking I've ever seen. The opening 15 minutes should be studied by filmmakers wanting to create dread and tension - it's a masterclass example of the genre. However, the director falls in love with his monster suit and kind of squanders the initial good will.

    I enjoyed the original and thought the monster-reveal was the best part. I never bothered with the 2nd.

    I think I saw the first one. I remember some corn field stuff and a porch, and a flying Scarecrow thing. I dunno, nothing registers. The thing I remember most from the second one is the fact that the director filled a bus full of hot topless young men to openly satisfy his sexual fantasy.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Watch the opening, then shut it off.

    Don't forget the chorus line of ritualized group urination. It's kind of amazing, actually.

    Maybe this time he'll really throw caution to the wind and make the Reaper have a secret identity that turns out to be Powder as burn victim/child molester.

    It has come close several times to going before cameras, and I hope someone sees the wisdom in shooting this, the third and final Creeper tale, I still can't tell you what the fate of this third film will be,"3D would absolutely devastate the script - since the added 2 to 3 million in production costs would strip the screenplay down to a point where it would be smaller in scale than the original 'Jeepers Creepers,' " he added. "And then even that money dried up. I would say the film has been on and off the front burner at least nine times during the last few years.
    Probably won't happen

    This movie and this dude are both super gross.

    I'm probably in the minority here, but even looking at that poster has me thinking, sheesh, can we just not?

    Why? Jeepers Creepers was great stuff.

    Unless you're solely referencing the director. Which, ya, gross.

    But the series is solid.

    Nope, me too. As much as I try to separate art from artist (or find ways to put art in a context where it's still valuable and worth considering), Salva's movies get grosser and grosser the more you know about his crimes. They are aggressively confessional. Powder is a depiction of a perfect innocent young boy who has a secret power most people wouldn't understand (and wouldn't ya know, he's homosexual by the end). As one of the bullies points out at the end, he doesn't have a hair on his body (think about it). The Jeepers movies reconfigure Salva's molestation with the Creeper as the oh-so-thirsty predator chasing after those shirtless young teen boyz. The first film has him sniffing the boy's tighty-whities, right?

    The fact that the Jeepers movies are made with some amount of craft complicate things, but nope. Nope nope nope.

    If you don't draw the line at Salva, Meg, where do you draw the line?

    (The premiere of this film was cancelled due to protests, btw. I don't know its status now, but I'd be surprised if it doesn't go DTV.)

    Honestly don't know that much about him / his crimes. I know there was the situation with young boys in Clownhouse (was that the title?) but didn't know of how it extended beyond that.

    Again, not at all defending the dude. He's a disgusting creep (no pun intended).

    I guess part of my continued liking of the first Jeepers is due to the fact that I saw it far before I was aware of anything with Silva. So...nostalgia? I guess?

    I really enjoyed the first half of Jeepers Creepers the first time I saw it. It's just that after learning about him orally raping the kid in Clownhouse and videotaping it and having child pornography in his possession, I'm tapping out. And, like I said, there's the continued factor that his lusts seem to predominate his work on-screen in weird coded ways.

    I won't condemn people who like his films. These are hazy situations; I'm not always sure what to think of Polanski, Gibson, Woody Allen, given their variety of crimes (I'd forgotten until recently that Gibson hit his wife while she was holding their baby). I think all you can do is make your choice one creator at a time and give others the same space to make their decision.

    Wasn't aware of the extent of his crimes. Jesus.

    I thought it was a "he kind of seems to have a thing for boys...look at his movies!" and some alleged lewd comments on Clownhouse.

    Yikes that's a lot worse than I realized.

    Glad you brought up Allen, though. I was going to ask why Allen is much different. The guy was molesting his own daughter, but he's a fairly celebrated director round these parts.

    This was more or less my experience too---I didn't find out about Salva until after the first "Jeepers" (he was convicted, btw, and spent 15 months in jail). After that, anything to do with the dude made my skin crawl.

    The fact that he's still knocking around the industry and trying to cash in on this franchise is, well, gross -- but I'll bow out now and stop threadshitting.
