Chances are if your watching this at this point it’s for punk rock nostalgia, to see what famous punks are in the movie and for it’s sound track. So meh servers it’s purpose I suppose.
Morton-Jankel Cut, was a couple of things that added some new context and were interesting. I think initially I was too hard on the movie. There were some things they clearly did wrong but there were things they did okay and few done right as well.
I was skeptical since the beginning, I’m happy to say I was wrong. Was it a masterpiece ? No. But it was a good movies. I think it was a smart choice to address the voice elephant in the room pretty directly, pretty early so you can put it out of your head and focus on the movie. I’m sure I’ll watch it again at some point and I am open to seeing a sequel should they make one.
I suddenly feel bad for saying other movies didn’t live up to the hype. The connection to “Pooh” was SO thin it could have easily been removed and remained the same less than mediocre horror film. Rumor has it there is going to be a sequel, how ? I wouldn’t watch it, I want my time back from this one.
I wanted to hate it, it’s not THAT bad though, new setting was nice. For me part of the magic of scream has always been the surviving main cast has always returned. While I appreciate them mentioning Sidney being absent, they way they did hurt her legacy and the the franchise in addition to making it awkward should she come back. That paired with the heartbreaking loss of Dewey in the previous film sucked all but a glimmer of magic keep alive by Gale out of the film.
I said I wouldn’t pay to see this and I didn’t but I think next time I won’t even allow someone else to foot the bill for me to see it. While it was a good movie and give the actors their dues, it just didn’t feel like a scream movie if felt much like when other horror franchises pull from the second string stars to keep a franchise alive. Unless they bring back Neve I’m out even if Courtney returns, let’s face it after this one she’s not going to have much mileage left
Next time keep negotiations going find a compromise give the woman her dues she is scream.
Matthew Lillard is a fantastic actor and really elevated this episode.
This is pretty easily found on YouTube, it’s a good watch if you like The Goonies as it show shots and behind the scenes of scenes that didn’t make it into the final Cut.
I don’t typically watch subtitled movies as it’s hard for me to keep up(bad eyes) and tell who’s who. It might have also helped if I had understood the native culture more.
Most amazing thing about this movies is how apparent it is Omar Gooding is Cuba Gooding Jr. brother and just how much they look like.
Holy Crap, this is insane the part where Scott Klopfenstein talks about “play small little towns” it shows video footage of a club (even though he is talking about a community center) with a disco ball and tinsel curtains behind the stage which was like 6 inches to a foot off the ground. That was a club called “putting on the ritz” in Victorville, Ca(maybe Hesperia or Apple Valley). I saw SO many bands there, even saw Reel Big Fish for the first time there and bought the EP version of Everything suck before Turn the Radio Off came out. so I could have been there that night. Heck my brothers band Just Four Now (ironic name for a 3 piece punk band) played there. It’s so insane to me that a place I have been to is in a documentary, I may have been there when the footage was shot, there’s even a possibility I was in the footage. It blows my mind and just unlocked so many memories.
