The Scream Franchise • Page 101

Good for Landon. Honestly this is the exact kind of fodder that could find its way into the plot of a rewritten 7th movie at some point down the road

 

This could be an incredibly naive (and selfish) question, but like, what is the purpose for Spyglass to hold onto this now? It’s an absolute disaster for them, rightfully so, so wouldn’t it behoove them to rid themselves of the franchise?

 

Also selfish, but the fact that we may never get another chance for a Christmas-set ghostface flick fucking kills me.

Let me grieve yall.

 

We shall grieve together

 

i'll write a spec script if you want

 

You’re the one that originally came up with the idea. Do it!

 

Read this as "space script"

Was looking forward to this Jason X homage

 

That's Scream 8!

 

Scream X*

 

Yes.

 

Silly people, Scream can never be in space....







...BECAUSE IN SPACE NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM

 

Scream 7: Gasp

 

S'cream, Ghostface is getting revenge on people for giving them dairy when they're lactose intolerant.

 

ok hear me out
Jigsaw Claus

 

Apparently he was getting a lot of hate comments from Zionist.

 

He’s been getting death threats for him and his children since the Melissa news came out because people blame him for it when he made it clear he wasn’t involved in the decision. So it’s pretty understandable why he probably quit.

That aside, I’m pretty sure he’s being called out as a Zionist, not that they’re the ones coming after him.

 

This could've gone in a very different direction and I'm very glad it didn't

 

Rewatched this last night. I need to reread the last 20 pages or so of the thread to see if I can pinpoint my thoughts, but I think where I'm at is...I can't say this one jumped the shark because plenty of the Scream reveals are silly, but I do think this is the first one where they kinda lost me. The ending just feels like a parody of a Scream movie to me in a way that is admittedly fun, but also transparent for the first time. And there's SO many amazing moments in this movie, like some of the best sequences in the franchise, but there's also so much meta humor that makes me roll my eyes, and so much CW-level drama between characters. I think if the film was 20 minutes shorter and more of a direct sequel to 5 than culmination of complicated lore, it would work much, much better as a standalone.

TL;DR I really enjoyed revisiting this, don't get it twisted, but it's the first one in the franchise where the quality of the movie overall feels second to the reveal, which I think they also fumbled a bit. And Sam taking the time to dress as Ghostface at the end?? Idk, man.

Anyways, working on my own treatment for Scream VII now lol

 

You’re really testing my patience lately, Aaron. Lol

But nah, fair critiques. I just love it so much still though.

 

I think I'm being harsher because it is a film I genuinely enjoy and a franchise I love, so I know it's tough enough to take it. I like the movie a lot, I just think it started to lose me a bit in a way previous entries haven't before.

 

I think my least favorite part and most goofy is when Sam and Bailey run at each other on the balcony when Bailey still has a loaded gun. Takes me out of the movie every time. But it’s still probably my third favorite of the franchise. Probably in the minority on that and I’m sure I’ll go back and forth with 2 or 4 taking its place. I think I just really have a soft spot for the new cast so I overlook the flaws. It’s definitely understandable though

 

The new cast is really good. I felt extra bad for Barrera this time around, not just because of recent events but also because of what she dealt with after 5. She's so good, I don't know what people were thinking. Gooding is great, too.

 

Yeah it’s stupid how much hate she got. The core four just really works and their chemistry is great.

I also don’t get all the hate Mindy gets. People really hate her character apparently, which I didn’t even know until I checked out the subreddit after Melissa’s firing. I love her personally.

 

Chiming back in to say, as much as I personally enjoy them, they really should have killed Gale and Chad. Stakes would have gotten very real, very fast.
