Speaker 1: I just finished watching Scream seven. I'm gonna start off
0:21
Speaker 1: by just talking about some general thoughts about the movie
0:24
Speaker 1: and the franchise overall. As we go on, I'm gonna
0:27
Speaker 1: be getting into things that I liked and didn't like
0:29
Speaker 1: about the movie, and there'll probably be some more spoilers
0:33
Speaker 1: as that goes on. At first, just general thoughts, no spoilers,
0:38
Speaker 1: nothing to worry about. So if you haven't seen the movie,
0:40
Speaker 1: I'll give you a warning before we get into spoilers
0:42
Speaker 1: if you're wanting to see the movie. If not, just
0:44
Speaker 1: you know, stick around for the whole show. One of
0:48
Speaker 1: the biggest problems with the Scream franchise overall is that
0:51
Speaker 1: it's become a studio franchise. Pretty much right out the gate.
0:55
Speaker 1: It became a studio franchise. The first one is as
0:58
Speaker 1: good as it is because they didn't have a big
1:00
Speaker 1: behind it. It wasn't expected to do as well as
1:03
Speaker 1: it did, so they were really just kind of like
1:05
Speaker 1: they let, you know, Wes and Kevin Williamson make the
1:08
Speaker 1: movie that they wanted to make what they had in
1:10
Speaker 1: mind after the Cats out of the bag. Though that
1:13
Speaker 1: this ship makes money, the studio isn't gonna want to
1:16
Speaker 1: take any risk. Once they figure out that this thing
1:19
Speaker 1: is a big ass money maker, it's no longer your
1:23
Speaker 1: movie anymore, you know what I'm saying. Because they're the
1:25
Speaker 1: ones funding it, they're wanting the return on it, they
1:29
Speaker 1: get the final cut. I would say that's why Scream
1:33
Speaker 1: three was rewritten. That's why they didn't carry on with
1:36
Speaker 1: the Jill storyline after Scream four, and that's why the
1:39
Speaker 1: rebooting of five and six was eventually shut down. And
1:43
Speaker 1: I know that there's more to it than just that,
1:45
Speaker 1: But really, when it comes down to it, if the
1:47
Speaker 1: studio wasn't so worried about their image, if they weren't
1:50
Speaker 1: so involved, or the politics behind it or whatever it is,
1:54
Speaker 1: any of these stories could have been fleshed out to
1:56
Speaker 1: their full potential. I think all of these stories have
1:58
Speaker 1: great potential to do well. After seeing Scream seven and
2:02
Speaker 1: reading some of the things online about it, I've been
2:04
Speaker 1: mostly staying away from spoilers. I didn't see any spoilers
2:07
Speaker 1: before watching it or anything like that. I was just
2:10
Speaker 1: kind of getting a general idea of what people had
2:13
Speaker 1: to say about it. I feel like after seeing it,
2:17
Speaker 1: the hate feels forced. I saw a lot of people
2:20
Speaker 1: talking about how it was the worst scream they'd ever seen,
2:23
Speaker 1: how it was just a bad movie overall, And we'll
2:25
Speaker 1: kind of get into that a little bit more of
2:27
Speaker 1: why that is. But overall, I feel like this happens
2:31
Speaker 1: to every franchise once you're getting into like the seventh
2:34
Speaker 1: movie and stuff like that, and especially for franchises that
2:38
Speaker 1: make money and they just go on for way too long.
2:41
Speaker 1: The Halloween franchise is a perfect example. It's just do
2:45
Speaker 1: we need fucking thirteen Halloween movies or however many it's
2:48
Speaker 1: been now, including the rob Zombie remakes and everything. It's just,
2:52
Speaker 1: you know, eventually you just gotta knock it off and
2:55
Speaker 1: do something else. But they're never gonna stop making those
2:58
Speaker 1: movies because they're always going to make money. And the
3:01
Speaker 1: same thing with this Scream seven, from what I've seen,
3:03
Speaker 1: has had the biggest opening out of all of the
3:07
Speaker 1: screen movies. It's as screen movies, it's almost hit like
3:10
Speaker 1: one hundred mil or something like that, if I remember.
3:12
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fucking money, but it was
3:14
Speaker 1: quite a bit more than any of the others, which
3:16
Speaker 1: is kind of crazy. I mean, I've seen a lot
3:20
Speaker 1: of people boycotting the movie online or talking about boycotting
3:24
Speaker 1: the movie. I don't know how legit that is, but
3:26
Speaker 1: I've seen some people posting about that, and the post
3:28
Speaker 1: will have thousands of likes and hundreds of comments of
3:32
Speaker 1: people agreeing that they're gonna boycott this movie because of
3:35
Speaker 1: the Melissa Brera stuffs. And on top of the boycotts,
3:38
Speaker 1: I've seen people saying that they're just going to purposely
3:40
Speaker 1: straight up pirate the movie because they don't want to
3:43
Speaker 1: give them the franchise or the movie any money because
3:46
Speaker 1: of the Melissa Brera stuff. And it's like, I agree,
3:49
Speaker 1: Melissa Brera shouldn't have been fired for whatever she posted
3:52
Speaker 1: on Twitter about Palestine. I haven't read the tweeter or
3:55
Speaker 1: anything like that, so you know, whatever it was, though
3:58
Speaker 1: I'm sure it probably was, isn't that bad. I saw people,
4:02
Speaker 1: the people that are justifying it saying that it's anti Semitic.
4:06
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into all that. I doubt it.
4:09
Speaker 1: I doubt she was saying anything severely anti semitic online.
4:13
Speaker 1: Melissa Brera doesn't seem like the type, you know. I
4:17
Speaker 1: don't think she's doing any Roman salutes or listening to
4:20
Speaker 1: HH by Kanye West or anything like that, if you
4:23
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, where was I kind of got
4:27
Speaker 1: off on a tangent there about them, melisciber. So, even
4:30
Speaker 1: with all that being said, the movie still having a
4:33
Speaker 1: crazy opening weekend. So I think that's pretty impressive. And
4:37
Speaker 1: that's exactly why they're never going to stop making these
4:40
Speaker 1: movies because it does. It just makes us much damn money,
4:44
Speaker 1: and it's like, whether you like it or not, you
4:46
Speaker 1: just kind of gotta be along for the ride of
4:49
Speaker 1: the franchise. That's the whole point of these goddamn franchises.
4:52
Speaker 1: After a certain point, They're not going to be the
4:54
Speaker 1: best movie you've seen all year. They're simply made to
4:58
Speaker 1: make money and have fun, and that's it. It the
5:02
Speaker 1: reason why these franchises start to turn to shit after
5:06
Speaker 1: a while. It's the same reason why the ending of
5:09
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones and Stranger Things were so hated. All
5:12
Speaker 1: of these projects were written without an ending. I mean,
5:16
Speaker 1: the original Scream trilogy would have at least felt like
5:18
Speaker 1: a satisfying ending to me, even though I think they
5:21
Speaker 1: would have been better off going with the original Scream
5:24
Speaker 1: story for Scream three. But if you would have ended
5:27
Speaker 1: it there, it would have felt like, you know, a
5:30
Speaker 1: nice little package, wrapped up, sent delivered. Great, we got
5:35
Speaker 1: it over with, We got the screen movies done. Say
5:38
Speaker 1: what you want about the third movie, like it, hate it, whatever.
5:41
Speaker 1: It would have been a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy.
5:43
Speaker 1: But once they see them damn dollar bills, they're just like,
5:47
Speaker 1: how about we do this shit? How about we do
5:49
Speaker 1: this shit? And what if this happens? And what if
5:51
Speaker 1: Sidney's cousin is here, and what if fucking blah blah blah,
5:54
Speaker 1: And it's just like, all right, shut the fuck up.
5:57
Speaker 1: Shut the fuck up so much if you're if that's
6:01
Speaker 1: your thought, I mean I get it. Though. If somebody
6:03
Speaker 1: was like, here's one hundred million dollars to write the
6:06
Speaker 1: shittiest scream movie imaginable, yeah, I do it. Fuck yeah,
6:10
Speaker 1: I'd release Scream six if someone paid me that much money,
6:14
Speaker 1: I'd release Scream six, and i'd you know, I would say,
6:18
Speaker 1: you know what, it's a piece of shit. It's too bad, though,
6:21
Speaker 1: You're gonna watch it anyway, aren't you. The other thing
6:24
Speaker 1: that I have to say about some of the stuff
6:25
Speaker 1: I've seen online is people basically saying like, oh, you
6:30
Speaker 1: thought the ending of Scream six was shitty. Well wait
6:33
Speaker 1: till you see the ending of Scream seven. Well, hey,
6:35
Speaker 1: I've seen the ending of Scream seven. Now Stream six
6:38
Speaker 1: is much shittier. I'm gonna do a whole video breaking
6:42
Speaker 1: down watch the ending of Scream six is such a
6:44
Speaker 1: big piece of shit, and you can watch it right
6:46
Speaker 1: after this. I'm gonna release it tomorrow, so stay tuned
6:50
Speaker 1: for the Stream six ending and why it sucks my dick.
6:53
Speaker 1: The first thing I'm gonna say about Scream seven is
6:55
Speaker 1: that it is very gory. I would say probably the
6:59
Speaker 1: gory in the franchise so far. If it really feels
7:02
Speaker 1: like they went over the top with some of the
7:04
Speaker 1: kills and some of the gore that we see in
7:06
Speaker 1: this movie, I don't know, because the scene in screen
7:10
Speaker 1: four where the girl gets killed in the bedroom's pretty brutal. Honestly,
7:14
Speaker 1: they got a lot more brutal with four, five, and six,
7:17
Speaker 1: so this one it feels in line with those, but
7:20
Speaker 1: I would say it does maybe take it up a
7:22
Speaker 1: notch or so, because there are some kills in this
7:25
Speaker 1: movie that are honestly bordering like dark comedy. There's one
7:30
Speaker 1: in particular that I'm thinking of, and if you've seen
7:33
Speaker 1: the movie, you probably know what I'm talking about. Where
7:35
Speaker 1: I was just kind of like, wait, what the fuck?
7:37
Speaker 1: And then they just kept doing it and I was like, Okay,
7:39
Speaker 1: that's just silly, but whatever. It makes you question who's
7:45
Speaker 1: going to be behind the ghost space mask. So let's
7:47
Speaker 1: go ahead and get into some likes, some dislikes, and
7:50
Speaker 1: then we'll kind of wrap this thing up by going
7:53
Speaker 1: over my predictions about the Scream seven movie and see
7:56
Speaker 1: if I got any of those motherfuckers right. So the
7:58
Speaker 1: first thing I liked about the movie away, I really
8:01
Speaker 1: like seeing Sidney Prescott or now Sidney Evans as a
8:05
Speaker 1: mom and a wife. I thought that was pretty charming.
8:08
Speaker 1: I thought it was fun to see how she's dealing
8:11
Speaker 1: with raising her teenage daughter, and she has two other
8:14
Speaker 1: little daughters that aren't really in the movie. They're like
8:16
Speaker 1: with the grandparents for whatever reason, like on a you know,
8:20
Speaker 1: a vacation or some shit. So we don't have to
8:22
Speaker 1: worry about the little kids in this movie, which I
8:24
Speaker 1: appreciated that honestly. So we just have Tatum, the seventeen
8:28
Speaker 1: year old daughter of Sidney Prescott. She's kind of having
8:30
Speaker 1: some trouble parenting or her daughter. Her daughter doesn't understand
8:34
Speaker 1: why she's so protective of her, and you know, everything
8:37
Speaker 1: you would expect from someone that's nearly been murdered throughout
8:40
Speaker 1: their entire life, and they've always been a target of
8:43
Speaker 1: these specific killings. So I thought that was really interesting.
8:47
Speaker 1: And same thing with the wife. I thought her and
8:49
Speaker 1: the husband, Mark played by Joel mchill, I thought they
8:52
Speaker 1: were great together. I like their dynamic. I liked him.
8:56
Speaker 1: I liked that he was a cop. I thought that
8:58
Speaker 1: was a nice touched. It kind of makes sense that
9:01
Speaker 1: she would marry someone who feels like a protector as well.
9:04
Speaker 1: He's a big guy, very formidable opponent to ghost Face,
9:08
Speaker 1: as we see in the movie. The next thing I
9:10
Speaker 1: really liked about it, and this is probably where we
9:14
Speaker 1: might get into some more like I guess you could
9:16
Speaker 1: consider this a spoiler. I'm not going to try to
9:18
Speaker 1: get into too much detail with any of this, so
9:21
Speaker 1: I would say that if you do continue listening past
9:24
Speaker 1: this point, it's not going to give too much weight.
9:27
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say exactly like who was killed,
9:30
Speaker 1: you know, but I'll kind of describe some of the scenes.
9:32
Speaker 1: So the rehearsal killed, there's a dance rehearsal or a
9:36
Speaker 1: play rehearsal or something that will The rehearsal scene made
9:40
Speaker 1: up for the lackluster opener. I'll say that it's probably
9:43
Speaker 1: the best scene in the movie, just the some of
9:46
Speaker 1: the lighting that they choose with it, the way that
9:48
Speaker 1: it's like stage lit and the background is lit and
9:52
Speaker 1: like blue and like strong red and blue. It had
9:54
Speaker 1: almost like a giallow feel to it, which I thought
9:56
Speaker 1: was really neat. But that kill is ridiculous. It's one
10:01
Speaker 1: of the best. It's very impactful, and it happens like
10:03
Speaker 1: pretty early on where shit gets serious really fast in
10:06
Speaker 1: this movie, which I loved. I thought the pacing for
10:08
Speaker 1: this movie was great. The only thing I will say,
10:11
Speaker 1: I'll throw this on my dislikes for sure. I didn't
10:14
Speaker 1: care for the opener. It just felt like it was
10:16
Speaker 1: kind of dragging its feet in a way if you
10:18
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, but agree, disagree, whatever, Let me
10:21
Speaker 1: know what you thought about the opener down below. Probably
10:24
Speaker 1: the thing that I liked maybe the most about this movie.
10:27
Speaker 1: I don't know. This was definitely like up there for me.
10:30
Speaker 1: The Gail weathers intro in this movie is incredible. I'm
10:34
Speaker 1: not going to get into a detail with it, but
10:37
Speaker 1: it's the best Giale Weathers intro we've seen of all time.
10:40
Speaker 1: I was kind of wondering if they weren't going to
10:43
Speaker 1: do something like this as the scene was playing out.
10:46
Speaker 1: It's a scene where Sydney and her family are being
10:49
Speaker 1: attacked and Gale Weathers is introduced, and that's all I'm
10:52
Speaker 1: going to say. I won't get into it. The Gail
10:54
Speaker 1: Weathers intro is incredible. That alone makes it worse seeing
10:57
Speaker 1: the movie, and this is going to be maybe a
11:01
Speaker 1: bigger spoiler or a hint at a spoiler. The mocking
11:05
Speaker 1: of the killer being Stumacher, to me was hilarious. There's
11:09
Speaker 1: a lot of lines between Gail and Sydney, and even
11:12
Speaker 1: like as the movie goes on towards the end, where
11:15
Speaker 1: they're kind of laughing at the fact that people think
11:18
Speaker 1: that Stumacher is going to be the killer, and they
11:21
Speaker 1: do a good job of like tripping you up with
11:23
Speaker 1: that and kind of like putting it out there as
11:25
Speaker 1: a red herring and stuff. But overall, it felt very
11:29
Speaker 1: on point for the franchise to kind of poke fun
11:32
Speaker 1: at these fan theories because I feel like they guess
11:35
Speaker 1: that the fans would take this Matthew Lillard news and
11:39
Speaker 1: run wild with it, Like they're very aware of who
11:42
Speaker 1: their fan base is and you know what they're going
11:45
Speaker 1: to pick up on. So this was like the main
11:47
Speaker 1: thing that people were talking about before the movie came out,
11:50
Speaker 1: is Stu Marker's back, And Stubalker's not really dead. He
11:53
Speaker 1: you know, the TV didn't even hurt him or whatever.
11:56
Speaker 1: He just got up and left before the police and
11:58
Speaker 1: the ambulance got there and slipped out the back door.
12:00
Speaker 1: And no one's seen him in fucking thirty years. And
12:03
Speaker 1: that makes sense to a lot of Scream fans apparently. Okay,
12:07
Speaker 1: I thought the red right hand needle drop was decent.
12:12
Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty good. It's one of those
12:13
Speaker 1: where it was kind of maybe a little bit more
12:16
Speaker 1: in the middle for me, but it felt it felt
12:19
Speaker 1: in line with like maybe the first movie, I'll say that,
12:22
Speaker 1: but it almost felt a little too in line with
12:24
Speaker 1: the first movie, you know what I'm saying, where it's
12:26
Speaker 1: like we could change it up a little bit. But
12:29
Speaker 1: it was good. It happened after like a very impactful
12:31
Speaker 1: moment for that part of the movie. Because that impactful
12:37
Speaker 1: moment that I'm talking about doesn't really pay off in
12:40
Speaker 1: the end. The next thing that I thought was really great.
12:43
Speaker 1: The last thing on my likes list is they finally
12:46
Speaker 1: do the Gail in Sydney interview. I'm not gonna explain
12:50
Speaker 1: why they do it, but Gaile finally gets her one
12:52
Speaker 1: on one sit down live interview with Sidney Prescott. It's
12:56
Speaker 1: great and she is She is the all busting gale
13:00
Speaker 1: Weathers of old in this movie. I will say this
13:02
Speaker 1: is the best gale Weathers we've seen probably since Scream three,
13:06
Speaker 1: and Scream three is gonna be hard to beat. That
13:08
Speaker 1: might be the best gale Weathers movie because you got
13:11
Speaker 1: Parker Posey and Courtney Cox doing gale Weathers at the
13:15
Speaker 1: same time. You're not gonna be that gale Weathers in
13:18
Speaker 1: Screen three, because that's the best gale Weathers movie if
13:21
Speaker 1: that's what you're looking for. So on to my dislikes.
13:25
Speaker 1: The dislike list is long and strong. The opening scene
13:29
Speaker 1: is the first thing about the movie I disliked, which
13:32
Speaker 1: you know, I was hoping that this would be a
13:34
Speaker 1: decent movie. Obviously, I think most people were, although I
13:38
Speaker 1: also think there's a lot of people that were hoping
13:40
Speaker 1: that this movie would suck so that they could absolutely
13:43
Speaker 1: shit on it. Of course, anyway, the opener let me down.
13:48
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I didn't know what to expect.
13:51
Speaker 1: They've had a lot of great openers, even after the
13:53
Speaker 1: first one. The first one's obviously an all timer. I
13:56
Speaker 1: like this the second movie opener as well. Honestly, one, two, three, four,
14:01
Speaker 1: to me are all great openers. What's the opener in five?
14:05
Speaker 1: Oh it's Jenn Ortega. You know. This is the worst
14:09
Speaker 1: opener of all time, that's for sure, because even the
14:11
Speaker 1: opener in six I thought was pretty great. So worst
14:14
Speaker 1: opener of all time. That kind of sucks, but it
14:19
Speaker 1: is what it is. I guess I don't know who's
14:22
Speaker 1: to blame for that, Kevin Williamson maybe. You know. I
14:27
Speaker 1: had a lot of mixed feelings about going into this
14:29
Speaker 1: knowing that it's a Kevin Williamson movie, because the last
14:32
Speaker 1: Kevin Williamson movie I watched was Teaching Missus Tingle. That
14:36
Speaker 1: movie fucking sucks. It just does. It's not fun to watch.
14:40
Speaker 1: It's kind of a drag. It's another one though that
14:43
Speaker 1: the original script was affected because of the Columbine shooting,
14:47
Speaker 1: so you know that's a cop out for it. I
14:50
Speaker 1: guess you could say that's cope, Kevin Williamson coping about
14:54
Speaker 1: the movie or whatever, but it is the truth. He
14:56
Speaker 1: did have to change it because of the Columbine shooting
14:59
Speaker 1: and stuff. So but it sucks, and it's one of
15:01
Speaker 1: those things that just sticks with you where it's like,
15:03
Speaker 1: he's clearly a good writer. The only problem is that
15:07
Speaker 1: he basically wrote the same movie over and over again.
15:11
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what I was a little bit
15:13
Speaker 1: like worried about with this one, because Scream one and two,
15:16
Speaker 1: I mean in a lot of ways, same format, same setup,
15:21
Speaker 1: basically the same movie. And then The Faculty, which is
15:24
Speaker 1: a great movie. One of my favorite Kevin Williamson movies,
15:26
Speaker 1: one of my favorite nineties movies is basically Scream but
15:31
Speaker 1: with aliens. So you know, it's kind of like you
15:34
Speaker 1: just copy and paste that shit. But then he's like,
15:36
Speaker 1: what if it was a sci fi movie instead of
15:38
Speaker 1: a slasher? You got another fucking hit on your hands.
15:43
Speaker 1: But as a director, you know, I'm not so sure
15:45
Speaker 1: how much I trust him. Obviously had Wes Craven and
15:49
Speaker 1: Robert Rodriguez behind him for these other projects, so it's like, man,
15:55
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, maybe just stick to writing.
15:57
Speaker 1: The next thing that I didn't like was the damned
16:00
Speaker 1: drama teacher. The drama teacher just sucked ass. He just
16:03
Speaker 1: felt like such a shit, such an unrealistic shit is
16:07
Speaker 1: the problem. Like if he was a shithead, but he
16:09
Speaker 1: was believable, that would be fine. But like Sidney Prescott's
16:13
Speaker 1: daughter Tatum is in a fucking play where they're rehearsing
16:17
Speaker 1: and her role is that she's like wearing a mascot
16:20
Speaker 1: sized outfit of a dog, and she messes up by
16:23
Speaker 1: like tripping or like getting hit by somebody and getting
16:26
Speaker 1: knocked over, and the drama teacher is like, you know, cut, cut,
16:29
Speaker 1: what the fuck's going on here? And there's other shit
16:32
Speaker 1: that's messing up to it's not just her dog shit
16:35
Speaker 1: costume that's like the problem or whatever. But he pulls
16:37
Speaker 1: her to the side and he's like, listen, bitch, you
16:40
Speaker 1: are Sidney Prescott's mother fucking daughter. I need you to
16:44
Speaker 1: fucking step up as the dog puppet in this goddamn play.
16:48
Speaker 1: I thought you would be more of a confident winner,
16:50
Speaker 1: survivor and not some little push over bitch and my
16:53
Speaker 1: fucking play or whatever, and It's just like nobody would
16:57
Speaker 1: do that. You'd have to be insane to do that.
16:59
Speaker 1: And maybe this, you know, maybe that is one of
17:01
Speaker 1: those things. This guy's obviously like kind of a red
17:03
Speaker 1: herring in the movie, or is he. I don't know.
17:06
Speaker 1: I don't want to give away the ending, but uh no,
17:11
Speaker 1: the drama teacher fucking sucks. The red herrings in general
17:15
Speaker 1: kind of suck. Although they are necessary for a screen movie,
17:19
Speaker 1: for who Done It movie? In general, you're always gonna
17:21
Speaker 1: have red herrings. Not all of these are great, and
17:25
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna list them all, but they're not great.
17:27
Speaker 1: I'll just say that. So there's more than one killer
17:30
Speaker 1: in this movie. I'm just gonna put that out there.
17:32
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get into details of why or how
17:34
Speaker 1: or anything like that. But once we get to the
17:37
Speaker 1: second killer, there's like a scene in a bar where
17:41
Speaker 1: we get the rules scene, the Rules and Suspects scene
17:44
Speaker 1: with all of Tatum's friends and shit like that. Mindy
17:46
Speaker 1: and Chad are there. Mindy and Chad are kind of
17:49
Speaker 1: like indifferent to me in this movie. I'm kind of
17:51
Speaker 1: like lukewarm on them, you know. I like Chad. I
17:55
Speaker 1: think he's a great character. I still don't really like Mindy.
17:58
Speaker 1: I mean, she kind of plays the same character which
18:01
Speaker 1: I didn't really like her in the other movies, so
18:02
Speaker 1: that's fine, but just in general, Mendy's not my favorite.
18:07
Speaker 1: I don't know, she does the rules thing, she kind
18:09
Speaker 1: of goes over the suspect list. In this bar, there's
18:12
Speaker 1: a ghost face interaction and apparently the second ghost face
18:17
Speaker 1: killer has a skull made out of granite, because he
18:21
Speaker 1: gets hit in the head with the meat tenderizer full
18:25
Speaker 1: blast and just like does one of those things where
18:28
Speaker 1: it just like rocks his head to the side and
18:30
Speaker 1: then he looks back like did you really think that
18:33
Speaker 1: was gonna fuck me up? And it's like, yeah, that
18:35
Speaker 1: would probably kill you, or at least knock your skull in.
18:38
Speaker 1: I mean, if Billy Loomis is getting knocked out by
18:40
Speaker 1: a fucking umbrella attack to the chest, a meat tenderizer
18:43
Speaker 1: to the skull should probably knock you out or down
18:46
Speaker 1: or make you feel a little weak in the legs
18:49
Speaker 1: at the very least. But anyway, not only does he
18:51
Speaker 1: get hit in the skull with the fucking meat tenderizer,
18:54
Speaker 1: right after that, he gets hit in the head with
18:56
Speaker 1: something else. I think that like chatter. I can't remember
18:59
Speaker 1: who it was. Somebody hits him right after that again,
19:02
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he gets hit with one of those big
19:04
Speaker 1: wooden like pizza pans, you know, the ones with the
19:07
Speaker 1: long handles on it, like straight up full on baseball swings.
19:12
Speaker 1: Right after he just got hit with this fucking meat
19:14
Speaker 1: tender eiser, and he does the same thing. He just
19:16
Speaker 1: like takes the shot and just like looks back like nope,
19:20
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna eat that shit and keep coming. He
19:22
Speaker 1: just keeps serving him up and I'm just gonna keep
19:25
Speaker 1: fucking coming and you can never stop me. It's like,
19:28
Speaker 1: who the fuck is this guy? Was this guy the
19:29
Speaker 1: fucking terminator or something? And then he picks a character up.
19:33
Speaker 1: This is the silly kill that I was talking about earlier.
19:36
Speaker 1: That's pretty funny. Actually, at first I was like, no,
19:39
Speaker 1: I hate this, but it keeps going to the point
19:42
Speaker 1: where it's absurd and funny and I ended up liking it.
19:45
Speaker 1: But he picks this character up by the head with
19:48
Speaker 1: two hands, and this guy's basically almost dead, you know,
19:51
Speaker 1: he's got him. Like at that point, I'm like, the
19:54
Speaker 1: Killer's Kane, It's Kine, or it's the undertaker under there
19:58
Speaker 1: who's the killer. Even though he's like a f five
20:00
Speaker 1: foot ten guy, you know, just like an average build,
20:02
Speaker 1: five foot ten guy. Somehow he's strong enough to pick
20:05
Speaker 1: this guy up by the head with his bare hands.
20:08
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, if it wasn't so silly, I
20:11
Speaker 1: would hate this, But it's so silly that I ended
20:13
Speaker 1: up loving it actually, so that is one of the
20:16
Speaker 1: better parts of the movie. One some of the things
20:20
Speaker 1: that I was kind of like indifferent about, I guess,
20:23
Speaker 1: like the rules suspect scene. To me, it wasn't that
20:28
Speaker 1: great in this one. I thought it was all right,
20:30
Speaker 1: but it just felt like they were doing it because
20:32
Speaker 1: they have to do it, you know what I mean.
20:34
Speaker 1: Another thing that was kind of leaning towards something I
20:37
Speaker 1: didn't like was the camera work, especially in this bar scene.
20:40
Speaker 1: It feels very like made for TV for some reason.
20:43
Speaker 1: It's like the way that the it's almost like the
20:46
Speaker 1: speed that the camera is panning as things are happening
20:50
Speaker 1: makes it feel kind of cheap for some for whatever reason,
20:53
Speaker 1: like almost like soap operash or like Riverdale ish, you
20:55
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It feels like a little too smooth,
20:58
Speaker 1: and it feels like the camera never like sits still,
21:03
Speaker 1: but it also doesn't feel like chaotic. I don't know
21:05
Speaker 1: how to explain it exactly. I guess that's probably the
21:08
Speaker 1: best way I can explain it. There's also some really
21:11
Speaker 1: fucking dumb dess in this movie that could have just
21:13
Speaker 1: been avoided. Like there's scenes where a character will be
21:17
Speaker 1: talking to another character while they're being stalked by ghost Face,
21:20
Speaker 1: and then you know, like a Red Herring character will
21:23
Speaker 1: run up and now they know that that's not the killer,
21:27
Speaker 1: and they're just like, instead of being like, hey, the
21:30
Speaker 1: fucking killer's here, we need to shut the fuck up,
21:32
Speaker 1: we need to go hide and run or something like that,
21:35
Speaker 1: they just kind of stand around and like talk and
21:37
Speaker 1: they're just like, oh shit, I'm so glad you're here.
21:39
Speaker 1: Oh shit, yeah, me too, And like ghost Face was
21:41
Speaker 1: literally just around the corner and then he pops out
21:43
Speaker 1: and kills the fuck out of one of them, and
21:45
Speaker 1: it's just like, what what world are we living in here?
21:49
Speaker 1: Where you want to be like fight or flight as fuck?
21:52
Speaker 1: Right now? Like a guy has been killing all your friends,
21:55
Speaker 1: He's been chasing you down with a big ass knife,
21:57
Speaker 1: and he's obviously trying to kill you and your mom
22:00
Speaker 1: and all this other shit, and then one of your
22:01
Speaker 1: other friends runs up, and instead of being like we
22:04
Speaker 1: gotta run, anotherfucker, he's right there and you're making all
22:06
Speaker 1: sorts of noise so we can't hide anymore. They just
22:09
Speaker 1: kind of stand there and they're like, oh, yeah, glad
22:12
Speaker 1: you're not to kill her. Oh fuck, now I'm dead.
22:14
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, let's just not do that anymore.
22:17
Speaker 1: Let's use our fucking brains for a second. So the
22:20
Speaker 1: final thing, the final showdown for this movie. The main
22:24
Speaker 1: criticism that I've seen for this movie is the big reveal.
22:29
Speaker 1: The big reveal is I feel like the thing that
22:31
Speaker 1: I've seen criticize the most, and the reveal isn't great.
22:37
Speaker 1: I'm just got I gotta keep it one hundred. I
22:39
Speaker 1: gotta be completely honest about the reveal. It's not a
22:42
Speaker 1: great reveal. What I will say about it is that
22:46
Speaker 1: it's better than the reveal and Scream six. You're never
22:48
Speaker 1: gonna convince me. Scream six has the worst reveal and
22:51
Speaker 1: the worst ending to any of the Scream movies. That's
22:55
Speaker 1: all there is to it. The fight scene that follows
22:59
Speaker 1: the reveal and screen is decent, though we get Sydney
23:03
Speaker 1: battling it out. You know, she's kicking some ass, She's
23:06
Speaker 1: getting her ass kicked a little bit. There's a lot
23:08
Speaker 1: of resilience there. Her daughter gets thrown into the mix, Tatum,
23:12
Speaker 1: So it's fun for me. I thought it was comparable
23:16
Speaker 1: to the fight scene in Scream three, like the ending
23:19
Speaker 1: fight scene between Sydney and Roman Bridges. That's what it
23:22
Speaker 1: reminded me of. Anyway. There's a couple reasons for that,
23:26
Speaker 1: but I won't get into them too much. Maybe like
23:28
Speaker 1: the resiliency we'll say of the ghost face, reminded me
23:32
Speaker 1: of Roman Bridges a little bit. You know, I don't
23:34
Speaker 1: know if my rating for this movie will change. As
23:37
Speaker 1: of right now. I would say it would probably be
23:39
Speaker 1: like a three out of five if I was gonna
23:40
Speaker 1: put it down on Litterboxed. I'll probably come out with
23:43
Speaker 1: the video ranking the screen movies, as I'm sure everyone will,
23:47
Speaker 1: but I just rewatched them. Also, I feel like I
23:49
Speaker 1: might as well, you know what I'm saying, might as
23:50
Speaker 1: well do one of those damn videos and make so
23:53
Speaker 1: much money off of it because everyone's going to be
23:55
Speaker 1: so curious about the Scream rankings. Last, but not least,
24:00
Speaker 1: check into my predictions and see if I got any
24:02
Speaker 1: of these fucking predictions right. Number One, I said, the
24:06
Speaker 1: timeline is gonna feel kind of fucked up because of
24:08
Speaker 1: Scream five and six. You know, I don't necessarily agree
24:13
Speaker 1: with that. They mentioned in New York Ship a couple
24:15
Speaker 1: times to Sydney, which I thought was, you know, it
24:18
Speaker 1: at least shows continuity. It felt like a little bit
24:21
Speaker 1: shoehorn in. But they didn't dwell on it. A couple
24:23
Speaker 1: of times. Some characters were just like, yeah, you're lucky
24:26
Speaker 1: you weren't there for New York Sydney. Good idea of
24:28
Speaker 1: sitting that one out, because it was pretty fucked up.
24:30
Speaker 1: People got fucking killed, and she's you know, it's like,
24:33
Speaker 1: of course they did. It's a damn Scream movie, lady,
24:36
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Number Two, that Stu will
24:39
Speaker 1: be back as either AI or a flashback or some
24:42
Speaker 1: sort of like Billy and Randy or Maureen Prescott type
24:46
Speaker 1: of situation. I did get that right, And that was
24:51
Speaker 1: one that I think was just kind of obvious. With
24:53
Speaker 1: all the Stu Mocker predictions and stuff like that and
24:57
Speaker 1: fan theories. I felt like the the only reason they
25:00
Speaker 1: would release that Stumacher was going to be in the movie,
25:03
Speaker 1: or that you know, Matthew Lillard is going to be
25:05
Speaker 1: in the movie. And they also I think had like
25:07
Speaker 1: Roman Bridges and stuff advertises being in the movie and
25:11
Speaker 1: all that stuff they got that played him Scott fully
25:13
Speaker 1: I think is his name. Instantly, I was like, the
25:17
Speaker 1: only reason they would do that is if it's a
25:19
Speaker 1: red herring or like some sort of a fake out
25:22
Speaker 1: and they do a I don't know, they do a
25:25
Speaker 1: pretty good job with it in the movie. I'll say,
25:27
Speaker 1: although there is like a big AI slop moment towards
25:30
Speaker 1: the end that just feels like a big AI slop
25:33
Speaker 1: bomb and it's kind of like it's a little too much.
25:37
Speaker 1: I feel like if they would have maybe kept it
25:39
Speaker 1: a little more subtle and rain that shit back in,
25:41
Speaker 1: it would have made more sense. But yeah, there's a
25:43
Speaker 1: moment at the end where there's like a maze of
25:46
Speaker 1: AI slot that Sydney has to go through, and it's
25:48
Speaker 1: just kind of like, yeah, you don't need that. Number three.
25:54
Speaker 1: My prediction, my final prediction for the movie was that
25:56
Speaker 1: Sydney would not die, but Gale would die. I thought
25:59
Speaker 1: maybe since they killed off Dewey and Scream five and
26:04
Speaker 1: they didn't really kill off any characters. And Scream six
26:06
Speaker 1: that you know, we're like Staples in the franchise. I thought,
26:11
Speaker 1: if they're gonna come back with Scream seven, they're gonna
26:14
Speaker 1: do it bigger and better than ever. We got Sidney
26:16
Speaker 1: Prescott back the main and bitch, you know, they're gonna
26:19
Speaker 1: be coming out guns of blazing. Probably not kill Sidney.
26:23
Speaker 1: Probably killed Gale though, but they didn't. Gale didn't die,
26:27
Speaker 1: but Sidney also didn't die, so I was half right
26:29
Speaker 1: on that. So I got one and a half out
26:31
Speaker 1: of three. So you know, I'm fifty fifty on my predictions,
26:36
Speaker 1: my Scream predictions. So that's it. Stay tuned for the
26:41
Speaker 1: Scream six ending breakdown that's probably going to be next,
26:44
Speaker 1: and then I'm sure we'll get into some Scream franking
26:47
Speaker 1: ranchises and we'll go from there. Thanks for listening, good night,
