Thanks for putting your bias up front Bob.
While I didn't expect the movie to be terribly original, or even any good, some of your complaints about originality and whatnot seemed to be fueled more by ire than reality.
So yeah, the movie annoyed you because it was too self aware and a lot of it had already been done before. That's the kind of crap critics say to look smart and deride a movie that will probably make money. I love it when you include that kind of stuff as an FYI, but when you use it as a reason to bash a movie then your review does very little to tell people about what that movie going experience will be like. (How many truly original stories do you actually get to see in a year?)
Were the funny parts funny and the scary parts scary? Did they actually get a message across even if it was just commentary on rebooting franchises? Would fans of that kind of movie still enjoy it?
I won't see it, I haven't seen any of the others, but this ...

YES IT FUCKING WAS! Sorry I'm just spiteful because I WAS BORN IN THE 90'S YOU DICKS!teebeeohh said:
Yeah Scre-four-m was destined to suck from the beginning, but I'm gonna give The Crow a chance because I think it could be pulled off if they do it right.
Also, I disagree about the 90's sucking. There was Clerks!

I would have to agree that by no means are the Scream movies "good movies". But at the same time, that doesn't mean they aren't fun as hell to watch. I know there aren't a whole lot of people that like the slasher movie genre, but I love it and I think these movies are pretty damn good for what they are. There's just something about the simplicity of a killer with a knife wearing a common holloween costume....
Anyway, yeah I'm gonna go see it.

Wow Bob. I am constantly surprised by how much I can agree with you on one thing and completely disagree on another. I won't go into how wrong you are about the Scream films or the '90s overall, I will simply say having a mind for trivia does not in any way make a person unique, skilled, or special. You never had anything to begin with so they couldn't take anything from you.
This one seems to have flared up some sort of bad memory from Bobs past. I view these videos for a fair and balanced view and think it was missing this week, meh hope he gets back to his usual reviewing quality next week.
