Society was better when weed was called grass

One take is that society was in a much better state when weed was called grass: cheaper, less potent, mostly oregano, smoked by cool groups in The Big Chill and Days Confused (as transcribed).

Another is that the leap from Friday 1 to Friday 2 makes Friday 2 the greatest sequel of all time as an improvement over the original, ahead of Aliens, Godfather 2 and Empire Strikes Back, with more charming kids, an awesome final girl and incredible kills.

Don't reopen Camp Blood

Maybe don't reopen anything called Camp Blood, read the Yelp reviews before you accept a job as a cook at a camp, and listen to the people in the diner who tell you about the place's horrible history.
