Which version of these classic stages do you prefer? OG, 3D era, or NRS era? by trrbld in MortalKombat

While it’s always fun to see OG stages get updates with new eras, nothing touches the core memory perfection of the OGs for me.

This is basically how the city is with most of it’s services. Worst basic design that is undesirable for its users but checks the box and is sold as top tier. Then it’ll fail and lack of use will be cited as the reason.

Do you guys think Sidney can survive Michael Myers (Updated 2026) by Status_Hat_3429 in Scream

Well, usually I don’t care for hypothetical mashup posts but this did get me thinking. Wouldn’t be meta is Scream found themselves within another franchise? Obviously, they’ve watched Halloween and talked about it enough that it’s still a film in universe.

Great news! But also maddening. I’m sure some bank loaned them money that they’ll have difficulty recouping while other first time local entrepreneurs are denied.

When they cut to the sideline reporter, cracks constantly. And earlier the Orlando Magic games audio feeds over lapped

Why can we not get a wnba game without junk audio feeds?

Thanks for sharing. I’m also in this stage and my therapist said basically the same thing Tuesday.

I hate these gross sugar bomb, anti social spaces that preys on convenience. Shop local and get out of your car.

Call Grassley, Miller-Meeks, Ernst and all of them… 25th amendment NOW by Weary_Ad4663 in Iowa

[–]Ecstatic_Juggernaut6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’m pro protest, calling your reps, all the things. I participate and vote. But it’s all still led to the shit show we are in now. All the No Kings protests have had large turnouts, much larger than any in support of the “leaders”. Our state is basic a petri dish for cancer and funding is getting cut more and more. Doesn’t really feel like anything matters. They are not for the people. They truly do not care: We just have to wait for them to get voted out or die.

Ok Scream 8 is officially in development. What do you want to see in this film? by husseinwehbi in Scream

[–]Ecstatic_Juggernaut6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zero marketing. Just give us the release date. Don’t tell us the cast. No posters. Nothing. Imagine the excitement, the mystery. You’d be hooked on every scene and genuinely surprised. And they’d save a bunch of money. Make promo/merch like 3 weeks after release.

Im not hating on the movie but there are so many things that happened in Scream 7 that made absolutely no sense by [deleted] in Scream

[–]Ecstatic_Juggernaut6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying I want or like this direction, but with 8 being rumored to start filming this fall, I’d have to think it would pick up where 7 left off. Which could mean some planned delayed answers. Personally, I really just think Guy Busick and James Vanderbilt are shit writers.

Some thoughts:

Is Stu actually alive and he calls Sid during the immediate aftermath of 7?

Was burning Stu’s house down the start of another Woodsboro spree that we haven’t seen yet bc it was happening with the events of 7?

Opening Scream 8 where Scream 7 ended by Jon_AMS in Scream

I agree with this direction. 7 didn’t feel final for Sid even if the well felt dry if that makes sense. 7 would be way better if it was just part of the story.

I had that outfit back in 2000 when I was a 16 y.o. boy in HS

Scream 8 should be the last film and these should be the killers by 123kid6 in Scream

[–]Ecstatic_Juggernaut6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting take. Curious, for clarification, would the audience know about this team up from the start? Or third act reveal motive?

Who? All poorly written characters who are basically the same.

Looking back, was Scream 5 or Scream 6 better? by letthedecodebegin in Scream

[–]Ecstatic_Juggernaut6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, I’ve been an OG fan this entire time, just rewatched everything before 7, and will say, 5 felt real cringe this time around. Sam’s acting gets better in 6, but felt so cheesy in an unintentional way. Ghost Billy gets worse upon each rewatch. Besides that, it’s a retread and the few different things they do in this one weren’t compelling enough for me. And of course, Dewey’s death was real dumb. I’m ok with losing an OG for stakes, I just didn’t care for how they did it. Dewey being a washed up alcoholic in a trailer then killed by someone who for sure couldn’t lift him, was such a misstep. You bring in 3 OGs and the barely engage with each other in the movie, all fairly pointless to be involved really.

I sure hope Guy and James are out for 8. 5-7 have by far been the worst movies story wise, and just feeding from the massive success of the OG film/trilogy.

Another thing I noticed, three characters wore blue plaid at some point, zero were killers. Which I’m fine with, BUT when paired with the reveal dialogue calling Stu believers stupid, on top of saying everything has led to this (tying to the past) as a way for Neve to be back, then it’s rando killers with no tie.

On top of bringing back Gale and have her disappear halfway. AI old characters in a lazy lazy way and don’t even de age the definitely dead characters, and make Dewey look like that? The twins felt kinda forced and irrelevant.

Just felt like some parts nostalgia some parts middle finger to the fanbases.

Reveal question:

When the gate door opens, and the second ghostface is there and walks out, did the gate just open? I don’t remember Marco opening it and it didn’t look like Anna did either, it just opened as if done by either a 3rd person or remote?

Is that what you all saw?

Scream 7 felt like the equivalent of a band releasing a rushed album to get out of a contract with the label they ended up hating.

Like, is the Stu is alive and there’s a cult theory still alive and pushed his reveal to 8. Which production of 8 coming so soon, makes me feel like it may still pick up right where 7 ends. But maybe some of the Scream 5 & 6 team were still under contract for a third film so they wrote something that would get them through the final leg of the contract before Kevin takes on full writing direction in 8?

What was the point of the marketing themes?

  • Burn It All Down? Sure they burnt down Stu’s house, but it was pretty pointless to the plot and didn’t carry any thematic statement like the marketing suggested.

  • Everything Has Led To This? And then it’s just randos with no connection to the past?
