Well obviously when I see the chainsaw my fight or flight instinct will kick in
I'd say threaten into leaving. My point is that while it's definitely not okay to go into someone's home like that, it doesn't justify murdering them. The only real reason to harm someone is self-defense. So yeah if the robber is clearly willing to hurt you, then put that mf down. But if their only intent was to seek help/gas, or even if it was robbery but now they're willing to leave without hurting you, do you really want the memory of killing someone being in your head forever? Wouldn't you rather just get them out of your house and then call the cops?
Kirk was wrong, family was more wrong. No, Kirk shouldn't have. But maybe he also thought no one was home, and hey, the door *was* unlocked, so while that doesn't justify him entering, it also indicates the family not being *that* big on security, because if you're that worried about people entering, you're going to always be locking your doors. My guess is Kirk thought he might just leave them a few bucks with a note of explanation and then take a little gas.
And no, you don't want to find an intruder in your home. But if they haven't already shown explicit intent to harm, then after you arm yourself, at least just threaten them into leaving instead of murdering them before they can even explain that they're seeking help.
I knew a guy in high school who actually happened to be in a wheelchair and reminded me of Franklin. And not because of the wheelchair. And this guy wasn't really even that whiny. It was more he had a similar sense of entitlement in thinking everything needed to revolve around him and he would talk the tiniest detail about himself to death.
Ratings and reviews are always a joke in general. Sure it can be a good barometer, but ultimately, we should all have enough wherewithal to draw our own opinions. That's why it's dumb to have gatekeeping discourse "This one's the best in the series and if you think otherwise you're dumb." Just judge for yourself. Most movies are enjoyable if you just allow yourself to enjoy it. Instead of comparing and insulting, we should simply have conversations.
Like an inverted precursor of Get Out. Black people getting revenge on whites through body swapping.
Mmm, I don't typically rate them like that, but yeah, 8 sounds good
Well they are happy tears :)
Many others have made good points on here how it can be justified in-universe, so go with any of those as you please.
But, mainly because it's a movie, and most movies, including this one, are made primarily for the male gaze, and so that's just something we're supposed to conveniently overlook. And most men don't like armpit hair on their women. In fact, women shaving their underarms became popular after going sleeveless became fashionable, and precisely because of it. Because suddenly their pit hair was all the time readily visible to men, who decided it wasn't attractive on women, and so women starting shaving them. Pit hair is now seen as primarily masculine. That's why when we see a man with shaved pits we wonder why, and when we see a woman without shaved pits we wonder why not.
This is evidenced by the multiple guys on here who have said things like "we don't go to the movies to see women with pit hair!" and so on. Which, may be patriarchal, but it's also general fact/preference. Of course women have the right to not shave anywhere if they don't want, and they don't have to live for being attractive to men, but men also get to like what they like.
That was more based in reality and those girls were hippies
Well, it could've been worse. Look at it from your date's pov, their night was worse.
I'm going to go ahead and hope you're young to be that silly. No Mexican or iffy food that early on.
You're overthinking it. It's not meant to have a great weight plot-wise, it's just fun Easter eggs.
Now what's really wild is when you take into account that in Scream 5, Tara is watching an episode of Dawson's Creek, starring Michelle Williams, aka Molly from Halloween H20. Meanwhile, the episode she is watching also happens to feature Scott Foley, aka Roman from Scream 3.
They probably saw your grammar and found it intolerable
You're right, I read the article then somehow mixed myself up, my bad, thanks
I very much did. I think different styles might work differently for different people. You found it inactive and repetitive, I found it to be a wonderful, slow-burn, tension-builder. It's scary because it's realistic. The things that get you at home, where you should be safe, are scariest. Of course it's also the vacation home which lends the travel horror element too.
I remember the first time I watched it. I was alone in my parents' house, which is in town, but in an acre or so of wooded area. I forget where everyone else was, but I was home alone with my dog, I was in my early 20s. I was drinking and smoking, and it was storming, so yeah, it was pretty creepy.
They could still do one about their widows, Grumpy Old Women. And it could take place on a cruise as an homage to Out to Sea
Yeah, but that was direct to dvd, different cast, characters, story anyway, so doesn't matter much. And while both TV series weren't good, Scream 6 still was fun
I mean yeah she's technically press but in that scene she seemed the most off-the-clock she ever has, was definitely there more in a personal capacity
She is, but it's like an epilogue at Sidney's house, did you not see it, or forget?
"If anything, that scene lays the foundation and sets the tone regarding how they're going to deal with his character for the rest of the movie."
Nail on the head. So many references to his age, and he spent so much of the movie tagging along and begging Helena to allow him along instead of assuming control from the start.
I can only say at least it was intentional. Ford is done with the role, the movie flopped, there are no known plans to do another one. I figure since they didn't kill him, they settled for making those kind of references to show that he's done.
