Probably won’t see this. I didn’t like any of the other entries in the Scary Movie series, and just in general am not a fan of the Wayans brothers’ work. BING BONG, GOTCHA, SCREAMS! For real, though, hasn’t the Scream franchise basically become a parody of itself? If I saw someone wearing that mask in real life I would just feel bad for the person, because I would know it was some divorced dad trying to impress his kids with the last pop cultural thing he remembered before he got married. “I hate you, dad, I’m going to live with mom.” “Sweetie, hearing you say that is like a knife in my heart. Do you get it?” All of that being said, I do hope they figure out a way to bring Matthew Lillard back. THE LILLONATOR, 2011! This is his year.

  1. Haven’t they been screaming for like 15 years now? The next installment is just going to be called “Hoarse.”

  2. I saw the poster for this movie at the theatre and laughed, thinking “What kind of loser still goes to see films in poorly-aged horror franchises?” Then the usher ripped my ticket for Saw 3D.

  3. What’s Up With Matthew Lillard?

    • If you would like to know what’s up with ML (as I like to call him) I can tell you, as he straight up replied to me on Twitter about a month ago out of nowhere.

      It seems Mr. Lillard doesn’t take too kindly when people live-Tweet their viewing of Hackers and repeatedly mock his wardrobe choices.

      Also, dude must be desperately searching for anytime someone mentions him on Twitter.

    • True story: When I was a barista 10 years ago, a guy wearing shades and a hipstery t-shirt wandered in and mumbled his order indecipherably while leaning away from the counter and appearing to be super-cool distracted. And, immediately 100% irritated, I said, “WHAT? I can’t hear a single word if you’re going to mumble like that.” Guy looked startled — and then straightened up, stepped closer, made eye contact, and placed his order in a perfectly clear voice. “Thanks,” I said — but now I was startled, because it was the clearest example I ever saw in my life of something that would make me say (if I said such things), “Wow, his momma raised him right.” I mean it was just a complete & instant replacement of Cool Shades Guy with Mr My Mother Would Be Proud At How I Represent Her. So, I made him a coffee beverage and as soon as he was gone one of my lesbian coworkers (it was all lesbians with fake IDs and me) ran out of hiding, grabbed my arm and squealed, “That was the guy from Scream!”

  4. Will they address the classic, “But, you’re too old to still be in high school.” debate?

  5. Oh Kristin Bell, you are so much better than this and the majority of your movies.

  6. As someone whose research interests include film theory as it relates to the female subject position and female spectatorship (NERD ALERT! NERD ALERT! PROCEED WITH CAUTION), I really love Scream 1 and 3. Still, 4 feels unnecessary, particularly so long after the last one. Plus, surely Neve Campbell is too busy? Those theater classes at the community college aren’t going to teach themselves.

  7. Have you guys heard that Courtney Cox and David Arquette are in a trial seperation? They met during the first scream. That sort of bums me out because I like Courtney Cox and I want her to be happy.

    Also, this.

  8. damn it Wes Craven, Scream has had enough sequels, what we really need is a People Under the Stairs 2

  9. I unironically want to see this, plus there’s a chance we’ll see that 90210 girl bite it, which will be ALMOST as satisfying as seeing Paris Hilton dying in House of Wax…almost.

  10. Seriously though, how good was Matthew Lillard in the first one? “I’m feelin’ a little woozy here, man!!!” — Every guy at a party in 1996.

    • I kind of lol’d a lot when he asked Sid if she’d told his parents. “My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me!”

      • That’s my favorite part too!…This is about one of the only scary movies I can watch with out completely wetting myself. I love Matthew Lillard in this, but my favorite is totes Randy! Movie nerds are the best! (I am talking about myself here…)

  11. So basically this one’s just a director’s commentary where they tell you everything that’s happening.

  12. The little “it’s for you gag” at the end reminds me of how the first movie could’ve gone so differently if she had just stopped answering her phone.

    Also, LANDLINES? Isn’t this 2010?

  13. I legitimately liked the first Scream movie. I remember I was actually kind of scared by it (and by that I mean I may or may not have shrieked in terror when the phone rang halfway through), and, at the time at least, I thought it was a fresh breath of air to the mainstream horror genre. Admittedly, the charm wore off during the second and third movies, much like how in 4th grade, it is only interesting when the kid on the playground eats worms the first time, and all subsequent times range between ‘boring’ and ‘maybe you should see the guidance counselor’.

    Scream 4 is like that kid calling you up to meet for lunch 15 years later, for old times sake, and eating worms again.

  14. Scream 5: Stay Safe Online

  15. This is me right now:

  16. I think its appropriate during a thread for a movie of no consequence like this, to bring everyone’s attention to Crispin Glover’s ‘Clownly Clown Clown’ video.

    You’re Welcome.

  17. Why, why, why did I follow your link down the rabbit hole? I only have myself to blame for my terror weeping.

  18. I don’t care what anybody says, I will be there opening weekend. Well, maybe not opening weekend because I hate it when theaters are crowded with teenagers.

    I will see this movie in theaters at some point!

  19. I always assumed that every teen actress (or actress playing a teen anyway) had to be on the CW but I don’t think most of those girls are. I’m kind of impressed. And I will probably really Fandango this movie, because I don’t like real horror movies but I like to be a little scared. Horror-lite. That’s my genre.

  20. I’ll see it for Alison Brie and Mary Mcdonnell

  21. I don’t even know why Anna Paquin is so scurred. Bitch be hangin’ out with vamps all day long.

    I may have said that in Lafayette voice in my head, not too sure.

  22. I admit, I gasped out of excitement when I read the headline. I acknowledge that the Scream franchise is not the best, but it has a special place in my heart. I don’t even find them scary, but I love all of the characters and I’m excited to see them together again*.

    *That entire paragraph was so earnest! Ugh.

    I’m also excited to see if they fit the whole “Sydney’s-mom-is-a-whore” motivation into this one.

    P.S. (spoilers, lol) – Jackie from Roseanne was in the second one as a throwback to the first Friday the 13th! How great is that?

    • Jackie from Roseanne is the BEST. Remember when they all got stoned and she was in the bathtub eating a pudding pop?

      Oh, and this movie will be the worst.

  23. The most important piece of information that I garnered from this trailer is that it looks like Hayden Panettiete went all Felicity on her hair.

  24. wasn’t Scream ALWAYS kind of ‘a parody of itself’, though? i thought that was sorta the point of the whole franchise. delivering semi-legitimate slasher/horror, but in a tongue-in-cheek way.

    also, why hasn’t kristen bell fired her agent yet?? geez.

  25. I don’t give a crap about this terrible movie, but I’m sure there’s some good fanfic to be written about why Sookie and Veronica Mars are sitting on a couch together.

  26. I know what you did last century
