Well one of the detectives says to Dewey "you were almost charcoal " last night but I know what you mean. I watched the Scream 3 with commentary and they admit that it was rushed.
I was always wondering how Randy's sister got on set ( I was thinking maybe she could of been a film adviser about woodsboro) but they basically say they didn't have much time to explain it. Also the thing with Roman's pulse in the coffin was initatially explained by him but they removed it so the scene would flow better.
I was surprised to find out one of the best scenes in the movie - Sid's return to Woodsboro-was written on set.
Sid really re-living the first film on that set was amazing.
The only things that "grate my gears" in Scream 3 is;
-Exploding house (said already)
-Gale checking pulse when he wasn't dead, if she just didn't check it - Roman's death would have been perfect to hide his agenda
-Randy Tape was too much of a stretch
-The dumb "Maureen" scratching at Sid's window in her dream
-Roman saying "4 years ago..." he told Billy to kill Maureen when it was 5 at best
September 1994 - Maureen's death
September 1995 - Woodsboro Murders
August 1997 - Windsor College Murders (Pledge Week, ~2 years later "per Gale")
Summer 1999 - Hollywood Murder's (Stab 3 was coming out in Summer 2000)
Overall, I can enjoy and respect "Scream 3" Roman being behind everything, even though it was a little goofy. But, SCRE4M will be our successor if not Wes' "sorry" for the third film, which is fine by me since this one looks amazing...
