For me it was all wrapped up with 3; just make a new movie and put in a subtle nod to Scream, but don't drag out the same story and then "up date" it.Pax Romanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00951019083510283683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042846540404918552.post-77724927020723813982010-07-20T15:11:13.795-04:002010-07-20T15:11:13.795-04:00I love all 3 for different reasons.

By going the satire route, I think the film makers managed to create something enjoyable. That said, I was shocked when Cotton was knocked off in the first reel- furthermore, Randy tells them (via videotape) that "all bets are off:, so that makes the viewer assume that one of the three central characters is going to die - but they don't! That's because "all bets are off". Whatever the case, I appreciate your view, thanks for the comment!<br /><br />Emily, I felt the same way the first time I saw this movie, but subsequent viewings have made me appreciate it. It sort of grew on me, and over time, I think I "got" the joke. Or maybe I am just getting easier to please as I age.Pax Romanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00951019083510283683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042846540404918552.post-85404516978057777822010-07-20T07:31:28.660-04:002010-07-20T07:31:28.660-04:00Hm.

I hated this when it came out--and I looooved the meta sequelness of 2--and have never been happy catching moments of it in more recent years. My biggest beef is that no one important dies in the film, making it just feel kind of empty. Also, the goofy humor never amused me at the time. Perhaps I should revisit it, at least as a preview to the soon-to-come Scream 4.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042846540404918552.post-1585366045548387222010-07-19T21:53:39.627-04:002010-07-19T21:53:39.627-04:00I don't hate it, but I also don't like the...I don't hate it, but I also don't like the move toward more comedy at the expense of horror. I never found this one very scary. And I think the kills are lamely bloodless, especially. Tyson getting tossed onto the cement? Angelina getting it in the hall? Christine in the opening sequence? It all seemed sanitized, almost as if had already been edited for TV. I also don't think the script has the zing of the first two, overall. It's funny, but I feel like Ehren Krueger just didn't get the characters to sound like Kevin Williamson characters as much, and that just made the movie feel different in a way that didn't work quite as well. I do, however, think Parker Posey was awesome and I do think the plot took Sidney to the next logical progression while dovetailing nicely into the first film. <br /><br />In short, not hate but not love.kidicarus222https://www.blogger.com/profile/18363078559398106005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042846540404918552.post-15439845222430026622010-07-19T15:14:48.573-04:002010-07-19T15:14:48.573-04:00I don't get why 3 gets so much hate either.

I thought this one was pretty fun and Parker Posey was the best part for me.Fred [The Wolf]https://www.blogger.com/profile/03208803636786210066noreply@blogger.com
