Wow. Jesus Christ.

Oh, come on— I didn't even mention their names! (Garrett and Kylie, respectively. The other two team members were Eduardo, the wise-cracking slacker, and Roland, the straight-arrow nerd.)

Well, actually, it was more like he was hitting on her and she was shooting him down. Then, just as she was about to leave the bridge, he blurts out, "Are you a robot?", and she pauses for a second before replying, "My room. Ten minutes."

The kid in the wheelchair was actually the thrill-seeking jock. The Goth was a fully-ambulatory girl. She had a portable proton gun and was the only one allowed to carry the trap, which has so many distressing Freudian overtones that never occured to me until just now…

She wouldn't have even had to be the new Sidney! Just keeping her on as a supporting character would have been great in and of itself.

Another Fun (if slightly more obscure) Fact: Josh Pais, the guy who played Patrick Dempsey's sarcastic partner in Scream 3? He did the voice AND the physical performance for Raphael in the first live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. He was the only performer in the movie who did both!

SPOILERS!!!

Interesting fact: in the script outline Kevin Williamson handed over to Dimension for Scream 3, the killer was originally supposed to be Angelina Tyler— the actress playing Sidney in Stab 3. Turned out that she had gone to high school with Sid when everything went down, and she envied the instantaneous fame and…

I absolutely agree! Most horror franchises barely care enough to bring the survivors of the previous films back for the sequels, making the killers the tacit lead characters; but Scream was dedicated to the growth and hardships of its survivors, and Sidney in particular was treated as a strong, fully-realized leading…

I have to vehemently object to placing Scream 3 above Scream 2. The third may have taken some commendable satirical jabs at Hollywood's insidious underbelly, but good GOD, the movie is a cartoonish chore to sit through; Scream 2 has an energy and a bite to it that the third one was sorely lacking.

I like how Craven himself put it: that New Nightmare was horror deconstruction from the creator's point-of-view, while Scream dissected horror from the audience's point-of-view.

"In this film [Scream 2], the murderess is just taking revenge on Sidney for her adulterous mom, whose sleeping-around destroyed the new killer’s marriage—slut-shaming on an epic level, to be further flipped-around and diagnosed in the third film."

Yes, yes, yes, and DOUBLE yes.

"WE ARE WATCHING FOX."

Oh, wow… Maybe John Waters took some inspiration from this!

The plot of this thing sounds like it was almost directly lifted from Hairspray, but with all the racial material filtered out and replaced with wacky '80s hijinks.

Tell me about it. It's pretty fricking ridiculous that they insisted that the Arrow showrunners kill off all of the Suicide Squad members the show had in common with the new movie— characters the show had first, and built storyarcs and relationships around. It's as if they have no idea what the word "synergy" means.

I actually really want to see Cavill on the show, because it would give us a chance to see the kind of Superman he could play AWAY from Zack Snyder's toxic influence. Something tells me Cavill could be a truly charming, likeable Superman if he were just allowed to f#@*ing SMILE every once in a while… (And on a show…

2006: "He doesn't throw a single punch!"

I agree. Keeping Clark out of season one was a smart move, since they obviously wanted to show that Kara can stand on her own… But now that they've established that, they need to stop jumping through awkward narrative hoops to keep him off the show, because it was getting a bit ridiculous.
