Not a horror guy whatsoever so I had no intent of seeing this anyway, but a fun time watching this video.

THANK YOU for attacking the stick-a-number-or-symbol-in-the-middle nonsense. Maybe Scre-four-em will have a song by Ke-dollar-ha.

Hey, everyone has an opinion on every time frame. Bob doesn't like the 90s. So? It's his opinion (and he's used that line so much in his Big Picture videos, I think it's fair to say he's owning it). Everything sucks for someone. Nothing sucks for everyone.

Definitely not seeing this one (I only care for cosmic horror usually). I'm okay with everything said in this review except for that description of "deconstruction". Maybe you only meant it in the context of shitty movies like Scream and not its proper academic and literary uses, but as someone who studies comparative lit. I dare you to come over here and try saying that to my face.

He's the problem though, the entire Horror Genre is crap, formulaic, horribly written, and always pushing for the lowest denominator, so you can't really be upset that this is the same thing.

Also having a beef on with the series because of your movie geekdom is kinda lame. There are much worse things to go through in elementary school than people saying "you're like that guy from that movie I saw" gimme a break.

Okay, MovieBob, you DEFINITELY need to do a Big Picture video about the 90's, and list the bad things AND good things that came out of it!

The world needs another Crow movie like I need an extra 30 pounds added to my already ample frame. Honestly, is that a real thing? They're bringing back The Crow?

Paul is sad now. Paul is very sad.

Meh. In my happy fantasy world, Scream was a 20 minute short film that ended when Drew Barrymore died.

Seriously, go back and watch just the opening. It is so good.

Seriously dude, fuck your 90s hate. The 90s had far more to offer than preceding and following decades.

1.The birth of the FPS before they were all Call of Duty.
2.The advent of internet ubiquity before that hateful beast 4chan appeared.
3.The beginning of the Silent Hill franchise before it started to suck.
4.The best cartoons arguably of all time before 4Kids decided all anyone wanted was poorly packaged,dubbed, and badly written here-as-well-as-in-its-native-land anime. Seriously, The Tick, Animaniacs, Earthworm Jim, Freakazoid, Eek the Cat!, Pinky and the Brain(and Larry), Tiny Toons, X-men, Batman The Animated series, the list goes on!
5.Home Movies appeared, helped really launch H. Jon Benjamin, and now we have Archer.
6.The greater bulk of the Pixies, the Breeders, Weezer before it was all same-y, Nirvana, Dinosaur Jr., and about a million other bands that actually did try to have their own sound rather than choose amongst "Cute" indie, "Garage" indie, "Dance" indie, or simply be one of the vapid genres established already in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
7.Darkman, Shawshank Redemption, The Professional, and about a million other movies that could be considered classic.
8.Internet porn was born! INTERNET PORN!

There's way more than that! Yeah, the 90s brought Gen Xers, the first in the prequel trilogy, live-action fmvs, bad horror, and boy bands. But it was still a way better decade than what followed, especially for 'murrrica.

That's not true.

But a much lower ammount of good movies than in the previous and subsequent decades.

The only thing that made me the least bit interested in this movie (loved that you called it 'Scre-four-um') was that Anthony Anderson was in it. He's not a great actor, but he is fun to watch (and he was in The Shield). This franchise had one sorta-good movie and had no reason to exist after that.

Having sasid that, I'm glad we're starting to move away from Saw-style torture porn bullshit and back to movies that are at least putting in something resembling an effort. For awhile there, everything was "stick people in darkened room, show sharp objects in vaguely threatening way, and have people scream for two hours" and that was what constitued a film. Scre-four-um might be stupid, but I'll take a fourth helping of pseudo-intelligent "deconstruction" over another minute of that garbage (thankfully, I've been finding more choices than that).

Oh, and other exhibits that the '90's emphatically did not suck (at least not in the way Bob is implying): Buffy. Alice in Chains. Tupac. Luc Besson's three best films to date (The Professional, La Femme Nikita, and The Fifth Element), and by extension Jean Reno. Terry Moore's Strangers in Paradise. Grant Morrison's run on JLA. Darkwing Duck. Gargoyles. I think I'll stop there.
