Yeah, but I'm talking direct actual connections to other seasons in the show, not homages to the film
I really enjoyed it. Had the same thought comparing it to Scream. Maybe Eli Roth could do a future Scream movie? I doubt it though, he'd want to do his own thing more than be constrained by a Ghost Face narrative.
Yeah, overall really fun movie. Hilarious in the right parts so the gore isn't overwhelming. Creative deaths. I liked who they chose to kill and not kill, not entirely predictable. Fun how the love triangle played a part in the plot but wasn't annoyingly overly-focused on, and refreshing that the pairings weren't always in couples. I loved the character of Scuba.
They're already developing a sequel. Hopefully doing this whets Patrick Dempsey's appetite to return to Scream. I wonder if he'll return for Thanksgiving 2. Which really should be titled The Leftovers. If he returns, it'd be cool for him to have an ongoing franchise where he's the villain character. Though it'd be odd for it to go as long as many slasher franchises. But if he returns, then the sequel might lose the whodunit aspect, or figure another way to bring it.
Was thinking about this again today. I really hope it happens. I know Fraser isn't young, or currently in the best shape. But if a studio is paying for the food and trainers and you have the time to do it, he could do it. And I really think if done right, this could be one of the betters in the modern trend of legacy sequels.
Europe is a continent, not a country
Gale: Sam and Tara have gone into hiding. They deserve their happy ending.
Sidney: On that much we can agree.
It's a wild thing. Freedom of speech, but not free from the consequences. But on one hand, you have a platform and a following and an opinion like everyone else, and should be able to use that. Should that dictate losing one's job? On the other hand, when you know eyes are on you and cancel culture is rife, be mindful of what you say, and maybe just don't comment on some things? But then people act like you have to tell everyone your opinion on everything.
It's ridiculous that Troy survived the hammer in Season 3 and that Alicia survived her illness. Those are both things that realistically would be hard to come back from in our world as we know it today, even if you received top-notch medical care. But they're out there alone in post-apocalyptic nuclear winter wasteland, and magically come back from it just fine with seemingly no real help or care. I want to know how. But that's not saying these need their own spin-offs. Maybe an episode in the anthology series.
There's always been annoying rumors. I don't know why. His death was pretty definitive. And how would it work if he's in prison? They've mentioned his death numerous times since. And the government isn't going to help a prisoner cover up his own death to hide it from his surviving victims, that's ridiculous.
If they did it, they'd almost have to lean into the supernatural, which I hope doesn't happen.
It'd almost be worth letting it happen to get people to quit begging, but if he was supernatural, then he might just be a mainstay like Freddy or Jason et al
I can see that working, even as sort of a bridge.
Follow me if you will.
So within the series continuity, we have 6 Scream movies and at least 8 Stab movies.
With this mess, instead of giving us the real Scream 7, they could give us "Stab 10," and it could be "as based upon the events of Scream 7." So we wouldn't see Melissa C and Jenna O, we would see new actresses portraying the Stab counterparts of Sam and Tara. So we'd get to see the events of Scream 7, possibly unchanged but for the cast. And so the characters would have been "recast" for an entry, only not really, since they'd be in a Stab movie. This would allow for a lot of meta commentary, and they could always say later "Stab 10" isn't how Scream 7 *really* happened, it was exaggerated for the movies. Only problem is that would exclude the rest, Sidney, Gale, Kirby, the twins, from returning, unless they all in-universe decided that they wanted to play heightened versions of themselves within a Stab movie, which would be ridiculous but I guess could work.
That's pretty much the only way, to ignore them. Anything else would involved explaining what happened to them off-screen, which would feel half-baked at best. Or the dreaded recasting.
I feel bad for the actors who play Chad, Mindy, and Danny, because they'll most likely be written out if it goes that way. Maybe the twins could return, but no real likelihood of Danny without Sam.
6 felt like a good ending, but only because it was their 2nd entry. Had they continued, it would've felt too "character shieldy," unless they actually had the guts to turn one or both into Ghost Face.
Not necessarily. He's been horny and unsatisfied the whole trip, and a guy that age always wants it, and really if you think you might be killed soon your libido might go into overdrive because if you're going to bite the dust shortly, why not enjoy yourself doing one of the most enjoyable things?
He was sent away for some reason. Boarding school maybe
No, it still works, because now the title can be referencing the events of the previous summer, the first movie's events
Glenn Close is perfect in everything she does
No, she deserved that in the barn too, that was karmic payback for how she treated animals, they deserved to give some back, it's not like they killed her
Oh lord no, I'd spend each of his scenes waiting for him to make a joke
That's a wonderful suggestion and I'd love it, he's great. But I feel like since he's been so vocal about his bad experiences filming Star Wars, he'd probably be reluctant to join here
Disagree about Laurie putting herself in danger. She literally runs next door screaming for help and is ignored. She tries to call for help but the phone line is seemingly cut. She's also trying to balance this with keeping close enough to the kids to know what's going on with them. Wouldn't it be a shame if she ran a block away for help and returned with police 15 minutes later to find the kids murdered?
That's probably what they're going for. But they'll stretch it out too long. And during it, we'll meet new characters who will get their own spin-offs
You're presuming to know a lot about someone else's mindset.
I read that he wanted to be remembered for helping addicts *first and foremost*. Which I can understand, that's important work, especially if you've been there yourself. So I'm not sneezing at that. But I don't recall him saying it as "other than that show," or anything so reductive.
Now I'm not presuming to know his mindset, just generalizing here. But he, along with the other 5, repeatedly renewed his contract on that show. Meaning that no one *made* him stay. 10 years of steady work is a gift when you're an actor. And knowing that you spend a decade bringing laughter and comfort to people is an accomplishment. No, Friends isn't perfect. It was a sitcom with canned laughter and corny moments. And, like many things, some jokes that didn't age well under the scrutiny of today's eye. Personally, I think it's dumb when we try to demand that something from 30 years ago fit today's standards. People change, evolve, grow. That goes for Matthew Perry same as anybody. But that doesn't magically change the show's dialogue. It is what it is, live with it.
As for me, I'll always love Friends. Two years ago, my dad died after an illness. My memory for the first few months after is mostly blank, because grief is weird. But something I remember is that I marathon watched all 10 seasons of Friends, because it was comfortable, and something I could handle. And Matthew Perry was 1/6th of that. Not that I meant anything to Matthew Perry. But if I could work 10 years on a project that would decades later comfort someone in a dark hour, well, worse could be said.
