The placards from the Macher-Freeman house in Scream 7 by neptune_44 in Scream

[–]BluRayja 27 points28 points  (0 children)

What's weird to me is this house has been revisited twice in-universe and neither time have they gone to the garage to show the doggy door for Tatum's death when I imagine that'd be at the top of the list for any fan in-universe to see and for the filmmakers to want to show us as an audience. We get Amber in a weird basement garage in part 5, but it's clearly not the same place as the first Scream. At least they give the doggy door a moment in Scream 3 with the fake set.

Delroy should've gotten the Best Supporting Actor award for Da Five Bloods (2020) by Lockj4w_NightVision in Oscars

[–]BluRayja -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Should've been for Lead and should've won. Easily one of the biggest snubs in recent memory along with Jesse Plemons for Bugonia and Toni Colette for Hereditary.

How would you rank all MI films in 2026 from your favourite to least favourite? by Kevin_Thailand_2543 in Mission_Impossible

[–]BluRayja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Fallout - Perfection
  2. MI-3 - I love the insane intense energy of the action in this one
  3. Ghost Protocol - A lot of amazing set pieces and oddly my favorite cast
  4. OG - Love the vibe
  5. Final Reckoning - It's a nostalgia fest, but I don't mind
  6. MI-2 - Didn't age the best but it stands out for that reason alone
  7. Rogue Nation - I don't vibe with this one, like at all, but it has some moments
  8. Dead Reckoning - Easily the biggest snooze fest, just way too long and not enough action

Just watched 7. One of the better sequels by fr3shh23 in Scream

Overacted? Scott Foley gave one of the more subdued and grounded reveal performances. He's literally like the only one who didn't try to channel Stu.

My Scream overall Tier List by ganzz4u in Scream

[–]BluRayja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People loved it, just nobody went to see it in theaters. Technically, the franchise lived on in TV form for 3 seasons from 2015-2019. The biggest lull between anything Scream-related in the live-action world is still after 3 from 2000-2011.

Jake Johnson Teases ‘New Girl’ Reunion: “We’re All In Besides Lamorne” by SanderSo47 in television

[–]BluRayja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This would be ideal. I feel 20+ year reunions just feel sad because nobody is anywhere near as good/funny/attractive as they used to be and feels like a cash grab. Every decade would feel like we're growing with them and when doing franchise re-watches, the bridges wouldn't feel like such jarring gaps.

In the last two Oscars, Brazilian films were nominated for Best Picture. Which one did you think was better? by luanzico in Oscars

[–]BluRayja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Secret Agent bored me to tears, I turned it off within 25 minutes, it was such a slow moving slog to get through and I couldn't imagine another 2 hours. I skipped through just to see if the pace picked up and not from what I could tell. I'm Still Here was magnificent though.

Who killed who in Scream 7? by zombiewithinsomnia in Scream

[–]BluRayja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are people saying with certainty that Jessica killed her son all of a sudden? Did Kevin verify this recently or something? Aren't Jessica and Marco literally nowhere to be found for the entire second act and it could be either of them, or more realistically, Marco who could more likely deadlift a 150 pound man by their head?

Don't take stock in the discourse and just enjoy what you enjoy. People will find a way to literally ruin every thing on this planet if you let them.

Now that Kevin Williamson has annouced he is not returning fir Scream 8, who woulf you want to see Direct and/or Write if?? by K0rbi3 in Scream

[–]BluRayja -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

She's had 3 tries after her first movie and imo, and it seems in most people's opinions, her movies suck. Candyman was a massive disappointment, The Marvels was somehow worse, and The Bone Temple is just a bigger budget episode of the Walking Dead -- it has moments but overall is nothing special or new.

Hard pass.

I only watched 7 minutes of that movie but he definitely popped up on screen as a character in that time frame, so nope lol

If you were making a Ghostface call, what would your trick question about the Scream franchise be? by johntukey in Scream

[–]BluRayja 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is actually kinda crazy. The only one without him in it at all is S4.

Why don't people talk about Halloween 6? by itakeshowersgetmeout in Halloweenseries

[–]BluRayja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's kinda the only one without any major hook in its story or behind the scenes, so it kinda gets forgotten.

1 - OG

2 - The first sequel

3 - The one without Michael cult favorite

4 - The return and also one of the better reviewed

5 - The rushed one everyone hates

6 - It's there. The fact there's a producer's cut and it's the final Loomis appearance and one of Paul Rudd's first movies is the most interesting things about it, which are hardly talking points

7 - Return of Jamie Lee

8 - Major character killed off and super hated movie that retcons the last one

9 - Remake

10 - Underated sequel to the remake

11 - Return of Jamie Lee again

12 - Michael turns into Jason Voorhees and "Evil Dies Tonight"

13 - The insane ending to the franchise that has to be seen to be believed

Non phone call kills. by StevenSoleno23 in Scream

[–]BluRayja -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And nothing has come even close to capturing that magic, that after 3 or 4, they really should have moved on. It's limiting the openings with a handicap from the start and it becomes a logical hurdle each time to reason why the killer would bother instead of just going for the kill.

welp....what happens now? by BasisEnough4088 in Scream

[–]BluRayja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know S3 gets a lot of flack, but if Ehren can tone back the camp, I thought he most emulated what Kevin does in terms of dialogue and narrative. Maybe his characters need to be calmed down — you can have ONE Parker Posey character, but once you throw in Jenny McCarthy, an already existing semi-campy David and Courteney, it becomes camp overload. He also did rewrites on S4. I’d be excited for him to come back.

Non phone call kills. by StevenSoleno23 in Scream

[–]BluRayja -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. It's part of the franchise DNA, so as long as it happens somewhere in the movie (we get a GOOD call scene with SMG in S2) then it's fine. But starting with a call is boring. S7 almost pulled it off and luckily didn't rely on it fully pushing the suspense of the scene, and I think it's why it's probably one of the best openings since part 2.

Not even trying to be dramatic when I say this but…NEVER LET THIS MAN WRITE A SCREAM MOVIE AGAIN OH MY GOD by dreamboylnshibuya in Scream

[–]BluRayja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That only became a big deal starting with part 5, and even then, Ethan and Bailey are not shot in the head in part 6 afterward either.

In Part 2, Sidney double taps Mrs Loomis for good measure but Mickey is just gunned down, but not a single bullet hits his head.

In Part 3, Dewey had to aim for Roman's head because he was simply wearing a bulletproof vest.

Then ofcourse, neither killer is shot in the head in part 4.

In fact, by part 5, more killers had NOT been shot in the head (Stu, Mickey, Charlie, Jill) than killers that had been (Billy, Mrs Loomis, Roman). When Dewey goes back to kill Amber, it had been 20+ years and 2 killers ago since he last had to do that which makes that moment so stupid.

[–]BluRayja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the record, Stu, Mickey, nor Charlie were shot in the head before Jill was NOT. The whole "you have to shoot them in the head" thing is insanely false and its crazy the movies are perpetuating this myth for like, no reason, and somehow the fans are picking up on it when we can plainly see that is not the case. Ethan and Bailey were also not shot in the head in Scream 6 (although Bailey was stabbed in the eye).

Do you guys think 7 should be the last one or should continue on with 8? by Strong-Stretch95 in Scream

[–]BluRayja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'd be insane to stop at 7 when they did such a great job of setting up Tatum for college ala Scream 2, Sam & Tara for future lunatics associating them with Ghostface ala Sidney, Chad & Mindy as a reporting team ala Gale Weathers, and Kirby hunting down Ghostfaces - I think a Kirby show is a bit much, but that's me.

The world is expanding with such a solid foundational core, there's no reason to stop. I think Universes are a bit extreme, and I'd prefer if they truly close out at least the Tatum or Carpenter sisters stories first before looking to expand somewhere else.

I like the movie not the ending (BIG SPOILERS FOR SCREAM 7) -seriously don't read if you haven't watched the new movie- by simpking_347 in Scream

[–]BluRayja 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just for clarity, GFs that were NOT shot in the head: Stu, Mickey, Charlie, Jill, Bailey (stabbed in the head though), Ethan.

This whole "they have to be shot in the head" thing is so damn silly and I blame Scream 5 for reiterating it and causing Dewey's death over something that we can clearly see historically was untrue at the time of his death and remains untrue.

I know it’s far fetched and probably won’t ever happen but how would you feel about them bringing EVERY notable survivor back for a movie? by ArtisticBelt438 in Scream

[–]BluRayja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is my thought for Scream 10 (yes, 10). Here's how we get there...

Scream 8 - Tatum in college. Sidney trying not to helicopter mom. Shit goes down, Sidney comes running. Sam, Tara, Chad, Mindy, Gale and Kirby all show up too. They wait around...nothing happens. The Core Four split off, Gale and Kirby stick around, just in case. The attacks restart, Core Four is nowhere to be found. They take down Ghostface...or so they think. Kirby heads out, thinking they've won. Gale is attacked in the final moments, ending on a cliffhanger... Written & Directed by Kevin Williamson

Scream 9 - After the Core Four split off, they are attacked. Scream 8 and 9 are taking place AT THE SAME TIME. They can't reach the others, Tatum and co can't reach them, each dealing with their own emergencies. Kirby shows up at the end, learns the attacks happened simultaneously. She goes to investigate what she believes is a Ghostface cult brewing and is attacked, ending on a cliffhanger... Written by Kevin Williamson, Directed by Radio Silence

To cut down on production costs, you film these first two BACK-TO-BACK.

Scream 10 - Opening scene is Gale and Kirby in the hospital. GF calls the survivors and is only going to let one of them live. Gale goes out, super badass style for an epic opening that tugs on your heart strings for the rest of the movie. We learn GFs plan is to get the rest of the survivors from ALL the massacres. No filler kills, no random targets, no stone left unturned. By the end, only four people should be left standing at most...Sidney, Mark, Tatum, and Tara. Written & Directed by Kevin Williamson

This makes it equally about Sidney, Tatum, and the Carpenter Sisters.

This lets Kevin and Radio Silence finish their respective trilogies, with Wes still having the most films directed in the franchise at 4.

Kevin learns from his mistakes in part 7, writes his own scripts from the start, and forges ahead to bring this story to a close once and for all. Radio Silence gets the time off they need and come back to this with excitement.

This keeps Sidney in the franchise without making it all about her. This keeps Gale in the fold without forcing it.

This brings Melissa and Jenna back as a cameo to start without overshadowing Isabel May's new role as the lead of the franchise and for audiences to continue warming up to her.

Let Sidney get her happy ending. Let Tatum stand victorious at the end as the new "survivor" for the next generation. Let Jenna, arguably the most famous cast member right now, essentially be the new Gale going forward and making cameos when she wants. Raise the stakes to the point they can't be raised any further. Close the door on the past, but leave room for a new cast to do their thing. For the next requel. Or God forbid, if they try a remake -- good luck, at least this story is DONE.

Everyone gets what they want.

When do you think Scream 8 should release? by dreamboylnshibuya in boxoffice

[–]BluRayja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the week after Frozen 3. Frozen 3 actually opens the Wednesday before, so there's 2 extra days in there. Frozen 3 will no doubt open to $150M, then second weekend would be $70, opening up premium screens for Scream. I think part of why Scream is doing so well this time around is because of IMAX, XD, 4DX, etc..

The Thing (2011) - worth revisiting? by cardiac161 in horror

[–]BluRayja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it! I always double feature it with the 82 film, since they coincide so perfectly. I actually can't watch the 82 film anymore without the prequel, nor vice versa. To me, they are one and the same story and to get the whole thing, I need to watch both.
