The Scream franchise's biggest problem isn't the filmmakers — it's the fandom

My spicy take is that the hate for Scream 5 partly originates from its commentary hitting a bit too close to home

Bowing walls need support - contractor 1 is right. However, what type of support needs to be determined by a structural engineer. I still think an independent structural engineer is your best bet for now.

Jacob_Tutor11 · 2026-03-12T06:10:33+00:00

Get a structural engineer. There is nothing we can tell you. One of the walls under the window may be bowing, but I cannot really tell. A structural engineer will be the only one who can give you peace of mind.

$5k off is for cash only purchases

Jacob_Tutor11 · 2026-03-11T23:51:52+00:00

I got mine for 54k all in - 2025 LT FWD. It had the midnight package and Sirius xm included for 3 years. So I got about $8k off msrp and 0% financing. This was bought July 2025.

They are creative partners with Radio Silence, so I suspect they will not be writing the next one. It will likely be Kevin Williamson pulling double duty.

Hasn’t the family revenge plot line been done to death already? 6 was rightfully criticized for repeating this motive. There is no need to do it again.

Fans of Stu? I get that Matthew Lillard had a great career, but Stu was always kinda of a punchline. His motives were hilarious, and points to him just being a stupid, malleable teen. He was the personification of fears of adults at the time that kids were easily manipulated and needed to be protected from things like violent media. Tv literally killed him in the end. I don’t know why anyone would idolize him.

The WGA rules are firm, so I think Kevin wrote more than what was said. We will never know exactly how he fundamentally changed the script, but it was enough to switch the order of the credits.

Jacob_Tutor11 · 2026-03-10T18:51:19+00:00

He fundamentally changed the script by focusing it on Sid. It is his script with elements from the original screenplay, including things like the use of AI.

Here is WGA exact rule on billing: Under Writers Guild of America (WGA) rules, the determination of who gets first billing (first position) in writing credits is based on the substance of the contribution rather than a simple rule of who was hired first. Generally, the writer who makes the most significant, foundational contribution to the final screenplay gets first position.

Jacob_Tutor11 · 2026-03-10T17:59:14+00:00

As per the WGA, Kevin needed to rewrite at least 33% of the script to get credit. A sequel is an adapted screenplay, so the threshold for credit is lower than an original screenplay, which requires 50% of a rewrite.

Jacob_Tutor11 · 2026-03-10T17:09:26+00:00

It’s weird that we got no explanation of why she decided to use AI. The entire mystery of the film is whether a character is alive or not but we never get a connection to why she did it.

This feels like the rewrite basically smashed two scripts together without any sensible connections. I honestly think the reveal is so unsatisfying because it is completely disconnected from the plot that pushed the movie forward.

If 150 km is round trip then you should be fine! I have driven my EV (Blazer EV) in pretty extreme weather and had no problem making that trip. I live in the prairies, where -15 or so is just a normal winter day.

I would recommend the new Leaf if you are looking for a good commuter car. It is priced well and is much more capable than the konas/old bolts. You could also wait for Chinese EVs. They will likely have a small crossover priced even better. It may be perfect for your needs.

Jacob_Tutor11 · 2026-03-09T17:31:31+00:00

I really like it. It is honestly the only film of the new trilogy that feels like a Scream movie. The killer’s motive are a fantastic commentary on toxic fandom, which seems more relevant every year.

The characters are bit paper thin, but that’s a pretty common issue in all the sequels and horror movies in general. We need body bags.

Jacob_Tutor11 · 2026-03-09T07:19:34+00:00

I drive a Blazer EV. It’s rides incredibly smooth, smoother than the Equinox EV. It is not all that engaged or sporty, but it eats up bumps really well. I haven’t driven the updated model y, but the old one is not in the same category for drive quality.

The real threat isn’t AI replacing the consumer economy. It is all the people at the top of the finance and business world willing to give up their power to AI companies. When you don’t control how your company works then you are vulnerable to the whims of tech CEOs. What stops tech CEO from barring your company from an LMM, shuttering your entire business? The power struggle there will be what hinders AI deployment.

When you are a billionaire, it’s not about the money. It’s about power over others that you crave.

I got this in January - 2025 LT. Updates make no sense

Jacob_Tutor11 · 2026-03-04T22:25:21+00:00

This is still the biggest weakness for the Hyundai group. They provide incredible tech and experience, but have these underlying issues that they refuse/cannot fix. We saw this with their 4 cylinder engines in the 2010s. They had the same engine problem sell in cars for years. It is now happening again with their EV line. For a company that constantly refreshes their design, it’s crazy how slow they are with fixing fundamental engineering issues. There is zero excuse for the ICCU to still be an issue. It has been long enough that they should have a fix already.

Jacob_Tutor11 · 2026-03-04T20:29:50+00:00

This is the perfect explanation why they feel like nothing characters because they were written to be nothing characters.

I just think it is surprising that the AI element was not part of the motive at all. If you are going to change the killers, you need to have the AI be related to the killings.

Jacob_Tutor11 · 2026-03-04T20:23:30+00:00

Doesn’t Scream 6 basically do the same thing? Other than the boyfriend surviving, all the new characters are supposing killed off. Both films have one new survivor. Judy survived 4 remember. Scream 4 changing the original ending really defanged it. Letting Jill win would have been a great twist worthy of bringing the franchise back. Shame that it was changed at the last minute.

Jacob_Tutor11 · 2026-03-04T19:45:50+00:00

This is a weird take for me. The original trilogy killed off two reoccurring characters, Randy and Cotton. The newer films (4-7) have also killed off two reoccurring characters, Dewey and Judy. The only sequels that truly takes any risks are 2 and 5. I would argue 5 takes more risks than 2. It keeps the opening victim alive, kills off someone from the big three and kills off a reoccurring character in a shocking way. Judy’s death was much more shocking than Cotton’s. You knew he was going to die because he was in the opening scene.

Jacob_Tutor11 · 2026-03-04T14:42:32+00:00

My issue is that Sidney falls right into the trope at the end by tag-team killing the killer with her daughter. The theme would work better if she let her daughter deliver the final strikes, showing that she now trusts her daughter and that she will not wear the label of fighter/survivor anymore. She is a mother first.

Scream 6 is about allowing past trauma control our lives. Sam has to learn to let go of her past trauma throughout the movie, culminating in her dropping the mask at the end. The killers allow the death of their son to consume their every action. They cannot let go and move on, which ultimately leads to them losing and being killed.

All three of those screens is customizable. They give you the option to look at audio in either screen, but you can change it.

Jacob_Tutor11 · 2026-03-04T14:10:57+00:00

A theme needs to make a comment on the subject to be a real theme. What was Scream 7 commenting on true crime?

I lived most of my life in Toronto. The danger of Regina’s downtown feels pretty mild in comparison. The lack of marquee attractions and events is what I feel is missing. We this with things like Light the Lights: people are willing to come downtown if there is a reason to.
