This week your friends Count Vardulon and the Divemistress are joined by their friends Rob Rector and Don Guarisco to talk nothing but Scream for 88 minutes. How has the first movie held up over the years? Who's wrong to love Scream 2? And what's the deal with Scream 3? The answers lie within!
So my vhs copies haven't held up as much as I had hoped they would...little too much static. (actually I guess it could be the vcr) Anyway, I was looking on my On Demand menu to see if they were up. Scream and Scream 2 are both $3 to watch. Scream 3 is free.
ReplyDeleteOh and the show Don mentioned, Inside Story: Scream, is on tonight, tomorrow and early Friday morning on the Biography Channel. Not that the Divemistress can watch it, haha.
Sarah, you're so mean!
ReplyDeleteAt least you have a tv now! I'm not so mean :)
ReplyDeleteTo the Count, if it makes you feel better, I bought the "Blade Runner" dvd years before I got my dvd player. It's good to have things.
ReplyDeleteAnd is the Divemistress Canadian?
I was rewatching Scream 2 today. I got curious because in the movie theater a girl says that Stab is based on a true story of 'some kids in California'. So I googled, and apparently Windsor College is supposed to be in Ohio. So then, they wouldn't actually be cheering on the deaths of people they knew. Still kind of disturbing, though.
ReplyDeleteTo quote that Molson ad from long ago, "I am Canadian".
ReplyDeleteWay to go Sarah, going the extra ten feet and doing the research we were all too lazy to do! Doesn't make the movie any better, though.
Loved the discussion, guys! Divemistress, I saw that Law & Order with Lillard, and I agree that he was great in it... I even liked his over-the-topness in Scream, but considering the rest of his career, he obviously only fits into certain material. I loved the first Scream, but found the others (including 4) to all be pretty boring because they HAD to use the same characters--and even when a character had died, they still used the same character-types (i.e. the new Jamie Kennedy character in Scream 4) Oh well... I think there's room for a Scream-like film TODAY, but it can't be the Scream property. It has to be something altogether new in order for it to work in the same way. The original Scream surprised (and distracted) us with it's overt self-awareness, so when stuff started really happening, we were always a little off-guard.
ReplyDelete^^Thanks for listening! If you tune into our next episode, I think you'll find we agree on Scream 4, as well.
ReplyDeleteOh! And I saw Page Turner at TFF last year. I really liked it.
