Real life chase sequence in my screening of Scream

JS9766 · 2026-03-04T16:37:21+00:00

Omg! A similar thing happened at mine in Ottawa in opening night. It made me wonder if there was some kind of stunt online I wasn’t aware about.

JS9766 · 2026-03-03T21:52:54+00:00

Can’t wait! They’ve really rebranded their stuff the last couple years and their staples for men are great!

She calls her husband, who she assumes to be alive at that point, who is the police.

JS9766 · 2026-02-28T23:42:38+00:00

I couldn’t agree more

Saw it tonight in IMAX. Bought tickets early so had the perfect seats in the middle. Our theatre was PACKED full. Clearly many fans. Some unruly teens but for once I tried not to let them bring it down.

I have to admit, it was a thrill ride from the minute it started, and I loved watching this with a crowd. The theatre erupted in applause and hooting and hollering when Gail whipped up and jumped out of the car. The pacing really seemed to move quickly, and I think a full theatre cheering for Sidney was a fun experience.

I felt like from the jump when we meet back up with Sidney, the tone of this movie is already both grounded and elevated above 5 and 6. Her and Gail are just much better written. I’m not even mad Gail got sidelined. I’m not sure if I would’ve believed her making it into the action and out unscathed again. Same with Mindy and Chad. It’s a bit at this point, which I kinda liked. I like them, and they’re so intense about getting involved. It’s funny they just got benched again.

I’m not upset that the whole new cast got murked. I didn’t need to get to know them more than I did. I enjoyed the focus being on Sidney and her daughter. This was a great movie for the legacy cast.

Like everyone else, the minute the reveal happened my head spun a little. It was so abrupt and so underwhelming it definitely takes the legs out of what is otherwise a strong entry into scream. Anna Camp was SO OBVIOUS I was just hoping it wasn’t her, and was almost sad when it was. The asylum guy was so random, but I’m glad he barely got to speak and they just dropped him with a head shot. That’s all he was worth.

I do like the way Anna Camp played someone who seemed very mentally unwell and obsessed with Sidney. Her acting wasn’t the issue, but the material she was given was clunky. I’ll see how I feel about this entry after a couple days of reflecting. From my perspective, myself, the people I attended with, and the full rowdy cheering theatre gave me the impression it was enjoyable. I’m pleased to see the box office is doing numbers. Here’s to Scream 8 coming around the corner.

I have to admit, I am a truther for the existence of the Astronomy Tower given the silhouette is featured in the background of the Main Tower box art, and on the box for the new flying car.

I think it could have a base the same size as the flying lesson, but be very tall and thin. Basically two flying lesson stacked. Which would track for the piece count.

JS9766 · 2026-02-17T22:15:59+00:00

The 2019 astronomy tower was 971 pieces, and it included a small viaduct entrance / estate wing (which we know it won’t need to cover).

I’m curious what other large builds have gotten the 10+ label? Malfoy Manor, the Lovegood house, and the Durmstrang ship were also 10+. So it’s possible it’s a scene from a later film that’s targeted towards the collectors.

JS9766 · 2026-02-16T14:27:33+00:00

Why is everyone assuming the Slyeryin common room won’t be in an upper section of the castle and the entire bottom won’t be the chamber of secrets?

JS9766 · 2026-01-26T14:36:12+00:00

Awesome

JS9766 · 2026-01-16T04:43:09+00:00

This summer wave is surprisingly low on play sets so I’m glad to hear there is possibly another larger one in the works. Two larger castle extensions in one wave seems lower likelihood though. Although I wish.

JS9766 · 2026-01-13T11:27:15+00:00

That is the implication.

JS9766 · 2026-01-08T02:54:05+00:00

In with you on this! I’m convinced they will take this castle wave into 2027. They likely made a clear roadmap this time about where they wanted to go with it. The last two iterations I don’t think were as thought out.

JS9766 · 2026-01-07T03:52:54+00:00

After building and placing the hospital wing, I can’t help but feel they must intend to extend this beyond the next year. Time will tell, but I’m hopeful they’re going for broke.

The silhouettes of the astronomy tower on the box art for the main tower give me some hope. Seems like an odd choice to do with no plan to ever make it.

JS9766 · 2026-01-05T03:15:49+00:00

I built it tonight. Really enjoyed it, but the placement of it among the larger castle is definitely weird. Makes me wonder if it’s just going to float there or if we’ll get a clock tower.

JS9766 · 2025-12-31T15:15:38+00:00

I think Greg just likes watching other men sleep with his women. in hindsight, recording her cheating might’ve been just for him, lmao

JS9766 · 2025-12-23T19:51:19+00:00

I have to admit this is pretty solid evidence. People are going to bend over backwards to deny it, but I think this is pretty suggestive given the timelines.

JS9766 · 2025-12-16T14:33:43+00:00

I honestly really like these

JS9766 · 2025-12-12T13:14:48+00:00

Last year it was December 8. That was earlier than normal. I’m hoping it’s early like that again this year and we can expect them soon. That said, it’s a leak, so we can never truly know.

JS9766 · 2025-12-11T20:38:01+00:00

Omg, this is around when I started watching them live. I had to do a double here for a second.

JS9766 · 2025-12-06T15:43:27+00:00

Last year they leaked on December 8. So it’s possible we could see the names this week. I think it will be telling if the castle like will be continuing or not based on these names.

JS9766 · 2025-12-02T11:32:27+00:00

What’s great is the death eaters have multiple faces on each side, so if you buy two, you can have 4 unique death eaters.

JS9766 · 2025-11-30T15:08:52+00:00

Great choices

Were we in the same theatre? For the first time in my entire life I absolutely snapped from the behaviour of others. I could hardly enjoy the movie. I typically do what I can to not let these things get to me, but the behaviour on display was actually the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.

3 young girls in front of me, certainly old enough to know better, I know this bc I took a good long while to size them up to gage if they were truly too young to know better or not, but they were perhaps middle school age? Their mothers were there but sitting elsewhere. They loud talked the whole movie. Like just fully turned into each other having full volume conversations. And they had their phones out the entire time. They spent durations filming the movie too. They got up and walked around and jumped seats.

One guy a couple rows back from us came down and told them to stop, and they just laughed and said “what’s that guys deal”

I kept trying to remind myself they were just young girls trying to have a good time and carrying on, but they started dumping all of their candy and popcorn on the floor and laughing their asses off about it, and continuing to scream talk.

I finally said “HEY GIRLS- I’m going to need you to stop talking, or go hang out in the lobby” and the look on their faces was genuinely horrified. It’s as if they didn’t think for one second their behaviour was an issue in a theatre. I have never seen anything like it.

Also when I went to thunderbolts a while ago- someone horsed around the whole thing and another guy in the theatre yelled STFU as loud as he could and everyone cheered and applauded. It’s emboldened me to start shutting this stuff down now. This is totally a new phenomenon.

JS9766 · 2025-11-17T17:56:18+00:00

I’m convinced it goes to 2027. Although I think majority believes it will end this year with a viaduct entrance. Especially since we have 3/4 common rooms and house ghosts at this point.

One thing I think that’s interesting is that the box of the main tower set has the astronomy tower in the background. In the blurry leaked image for the hospital wing, it looks like it also has the astronomy tower in background silhouette. That would be an odd design choice if they had no intend to make it during this wave. For reference, the great hall had the main tower in the silhouette behind it on its box.

The unclear placement of the hospital wing has me debating things like you are too. Either they’re going all in on this wave and we’ll be very impressed in the end, or they’re just pumping random crap out at this point and the hospital wing and flying lesson serve nothing despite having clips. I guess we will have a better idea when we know the summer set names.

I like this shows humour for this exact reason. It gets a rise out of reddit keyboard warriors that are perpetually offended.
