    #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Scream 2 - A worthy sequel. Luckily they never made a 3rd one. Now You See Me 3 - it's a real movie with proper actors. I know. I can't believe it either Dreamscape - Inception, If it just got on with it Dirty Harry - ACAB but also a classic bit of cinema

    Horror movies stop putting the most famous person in the movie into the killer role if the killer is a mystery... I beg! This is more true with more "indie" type movies, but not exclusively :::stares in Laurie Metcalf in Scream 2:::

    Scream 2 is excellent — one of the best sequels of all time — but ranking it higher than the original is so wrong. setting aside the fact that Scream is just a better movie (it is), it also had a seismic impact on the genre in ways only a handful of horror films ever have.

    Lots of questionable choices made in the quotes here, but I actually made a fist when I read someone’s post that said the “I think I love you” scene in Scream 2… I am ride or die for Jerry O in that movie. That scene is a delight & does so much to change the dynamic surrounding Sidney’s character.

    Why yes, as a matter of fact, I am currently thinking about how Scream 2 is the only movie in the series where the opening sequence doesn't involve any character getting a phone call from Ghostface. (halt those "well, actually" urges. The footage from Stab on the movie screen doesn't count!)

    Spooktober film 13 Scream 2 ★★★★½ A sequel that is just as good as the first. A very enjoyable film, even on a second viewing. When you know who the killers are, it's fun to track where they are and who's who. Nice level of gore and some fun deaths. Some dumb horror logic but its a scream film
