Six Reasons Why Jason Lives Is Friday the 13th’s Best
1 — “I AM HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME”
Still need convincing that Jason Lives rules? Then you’ve come to the right place. Sitting atop the mountainous heap of corpses created by the Camp Crystal Lake marauder is Cort, otherwise known as the finest Friday character not named Voorhees.
Let’s be clear… Tom Fridley is related to John Travolta, but this was one case where bloodline had nothing to do with rocking.
Cort had zero clue about being a camp counselor but didn’t let such petty details serve as an obstacle as he assumed the role of wise woodsman and offered lessons on the intricacies of rock formations and throwing squaws off one’s scent.
Fridley channeled his inner Ashley Williams with nonsensical declarations about Native American culture and believed he played the role of knowledgeable authority figure to perfection, while the children peered at a supreme dolt and noted, “If this is as exciting as it gets, we’re in big trouble, dude.”
Later, when Cort ventured out in search of things that go “bump in the night” and the power went out (along with his load), the feed me Seymour “I didn’t mean it” card was once again played with “Wasn’t that the end of the song?”
Fridley was legitimately funny and, unlike many who graced the Friday screen, didn’t overplay his character. For that, Cort dons the crown as King of Camp Crystal Lake counselors.
