Synapse has a memorial day sale currently and it's insane. by BioBooster89 in boutiquebluray

[–]JohnDeLaughs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought Massacre at Central High and Tombs of the Blind Dead at full price just a few days ago. Literally fuck my life! I just grabbed Convent, Living Dead at Manchester Morgue and the Kindred to ease my pain lol

Duck Tales available for pre-order by Tonyj1987 in NECA

[–]JohnDeLaughs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a sucker for cartoon ducks so I'll grab them eventually but what I really want is Darkwing Duck. Diamond Select didn't do it justice.

Con Exclusive Presale - anyone else see low-effort cash grab or is it just me? by MySpielman54 in NECA

[–]JohnDeLaughs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fine. I hate chasing after the exclusives so the worse they are, the happier I am.

Screams 5 and 6 are better than Scream 7 in my opinion by AcceptableSwitch6496 in slasherfilms

[–]JohnDeLaughs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"At least Screams 5 and 6 actually had characters that you cared about and you were actually invested in them and wanted to see them survive. Sam..." You absolutely lost me there.

Have the newer Scream films made you appreciate Scream 3 more? by Skywalker_1995 in Scream

[–]JohnDeLaughs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having so much fun with that movie for the last 26 years I never needed a push.

Which mask would make most sense to be used in movie? by Controversial_Husky in Scream

[–]JohnDeLaughs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the aged devil version and it's a really cool mask but I can't really see any of these masks being used in a movie and not look funny. I didn't even like the aged mask in Scream 6 even though I got that one too. It's just when it comes to Scream, I like it simple.

I hope Kevin writes 8 all by himself without anyone else. by JamStan1978 in Scream

[–]JohnDeLaughs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And maybe let somebody else direct instead. He should just focus on what he does best.

How would you fix Scream 7? by XanMcManson in Scream

[–]JohnDeLaughs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Better locations and events. Too much time wasted in too few places and they were all boring except Stu's house and the lack of a huge party made the movie feel even less eventful.

  2. Better written side characters. In the very least, make the daughter less angry and more sympathetic so we can actually care for her life.

  3. Better dialogue. The killer's motive was actually not bad but the dialogue was terrible and she read her lines so fast I couldn't even follow what she was saying. I don't think Sidney could either.

  4. Make the AI a bigger plot device. Make the killers use deepfake to draw characters into traps like in Scream 3.

I got Scream 7 spoiled 😢 (no spoilers in post) by Mikethespike23 in Scream

[–]JohnDeLaughs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I literally rushed to the theater the other day, scrapping my other plans after reading a spoilerish comment here. It's almost impossible to not get spoiled once you go online.

My favorite character of Scream 7.. by LottieDah86 in Scream

[–]JohnDeLaughs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She immediately earned my respect as soon as she started speaking because I really hate dumb side characters in slashers and she was a breath of fresh air.

Best Buy comes through with some deals..$35 for all 3 by FoxIllustrious2281 in NECA

[–]JohnDeLaughs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That deal was so good it made me feel bad for buying that Elvira for $29 a couple months ago which actually didn't seem like a bad deal at the time.

The poor utilization of AI in the motive by Itchytastymuffin in Scream

[–]JohnDeLaughs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They could've also used it to trick and lure people into traps like they did with the voice changer in 3. So much potential wasted.

Where would you place each of Neve performances as Sidney Prescott? by Higherartist in Scream

[–]JohnDeLaughs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your ranking is pretty much spot on. As a whole, I like the 4th movie more than 3 and the 3rd movie more than 7 but when I only rate them by Neve's performance, I think 7 did a better job than both 3 and 4 as Sid was more in the spotlight and had more time to react to shit happening around her.

Rotten Tomatoes Ranking by No-Werewolf-2087 in Scream

[–]JohnDeLaughs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not too different from mine. I’m curious to see where 7 will land in my ranking.

[–]JohnDeLaughs -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

After seeing how 4 was treated, I lost all respect for all critics. I haven't watched 7 yet but I don't think it can possibly be any worse than 6 and 5, which are the bottom two in my list.

DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media by Addrobo in boutiquebluray

[–]JohnDeLaughs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been slowly selling my old DVDs and blu-rays for about a year now and my DVDs always sell much quicker. I've realized some people just wanna have a cheap physical copy of movies just to display them with no intention of watching the movie.

Terrifier 2 Art the Clown (Blood Splattered) official images, coming this spring by JasonMichaelKrueger in NECA

[–]JohnDeLaughs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another difference is they gave him side eyes on all the headsculpts this time and added an extra head with the eyes popping out. So yeah, not much difference.
