^Didn't even know that. I'm just so used to hitting the square or R2 button on my PS3 controller. God, I wish ever Blu-Ray was like Nolan's; no previews...
 
Yeah, its better to buy it at the store.

Watched the first one yesterday. Looked awesome.
 
Now if that was at Amazon then there would be free shipping & what not with all three together

When I saw that, I thought to myself - well, if you've never seen Scream 1,2,3 guess the "mystery" of them living is gone.

I understand marketing to the target audience - but make that a Special Feature and leave it at that. Don't force peeps to watch that trailer. Yeesh.

Any other movie - sure. But for this specific franchise? Come on now.

Most people already know by now but yeah I would of preferred it be listed under extras. Who wants to watch the same trailer every time they put in a movie , I hate that. However if you think that's bad it actually shows characters getting killed if you leave the menu screen playing.. they did a good job on those actually .
 
Wait, are people here talking about the Canada released BR's or the U.S. ones?
 
Whoa, they're already out? I thought they came out in late April?

Well, I better get them. Or they go on the birthday list.
 
I'll probably pick them up this week or next tuesday the latest. Most likely this week.

Amazon rules, I have a prime account (free shipping) and they gave me a refund since the prices of the 3 scream films were reduced since i pre-ordered them...

Well, yeah, if you have Prime, but if not, it's a bit cheaper. Just thought I'd post the deal for anyone who is interested.
 
I've always have not been a fan of the "ensemble" photo cover since most of the "ensemble" are barely in the film, so I made my own covers for the Blu-Rays. If anyone wants the Adobe Illustrator file, just ask. They look perfect in person, depending on your paper, than what my MAC camera shows.

For the covers, I just "Live Traced" a GF mask image and put The Magnificent 4 (Wes, Neve, Courteney, and David) in the titles.

For the backs, I just "Live Traced" the faces from the original films and put a quote, that pertained to the overall film, from said film around it.

Those are cool. I like the ensemble covers but would of preferred different cast members sometimes.
 
I'm proud of myself. Somehow, some way, I've managed to stay spoiler free. I read these forums everyday. Always clicking on spoiler tags. I can't help myself. But I havnt yet. For any of the movies coming out this year. Well, except Super 8. But I think were supposed to be trying to figure that one out. But not Scream 4. This year could be the best year for movies since I've been born. And Scream 4 is right at the top of the list. Sooo excited to see this movie, and have no idea what's coming next. There's bound to be a couple more on here who share my enthusiasm. And as a quick side note I'm buying Scream 2 and 3 today. I already have Scream on dvd. And I gotta make sure to get my lady up to speed. She's never seen any of them!
 
Ok, so I saw it last night in Toronto. let me just say the crowd loved it; there was cheering and laughter and some jumps. I love the ending credits. And Neve Campbell was there and she did a Q&A after the movie and is a real doll. Very personable and gorgeous in real life!

So the movie? I'll include spoilers in spoiler tags but I don't have a lot of time to write this haha.

First off, this is the best Scream film since the first. hands down. Anyone who has read my posts here should know by now I am not a very big fan of Scream 2, and even though it's an unpopular opinion, I really couldn't care less. Scream 3 was always much more watchable and enjoyable than Scream 2. Having that said, this new film BLOWS both of them out of the water.

Like Scream because of it's references and puns and inside humour? Good, because this film probably had more of that than all of the previous 3 combined. It was clever, smart, fast-paced, and extremely entertaining.

The opening was hilarious. The audience laughed and clapped. You'll see.
The finale? Genius. Some people may hate who the killer is............but it makes complete sense and is without question RELEVANT to our times. I don't want to give it away, obviously, but I can't see how anyone would think not. I really can't. The entire film is a pun to what's going on in Hollywood today, as well as the Screamverse.

Things I didn't like?

The kills were boring for the most part. Just stab! and then they're dead. Kinda like Scream 3 but with more blood. Olivia had the best death scene, I'd say.

I also feel that there wasn't enough Ghostface. We get to see him a lot but it's only for a few seconds at a time. We never get to spend any brooding time with him as he stalks his victims.

Rebecca (who play's Sidney's assistant) is completely useless. And hammy. I mean, Sid fires her and she's in the elevator talking to herself for christ sakes. "She'll come back, they always come back. I'm the best assistant she's ever had. You'll see" kind of talking to herself. Must of been Ehren's writing LOL.

But my BIGGEST complaint is about Kirby (Hayden Panettiere). She was one of the best characters in the film and they ****ing killed her off! Not just that, her death scene was so lame and anti-climatic! She gets stabbed in the gut twice and that's it! It really brings the film down for me, I'm really not kidding. She should have lived, and if they wanted to kill her, they should have killed her in an epic way! UGH!! It really upsets me. They should have had her wheeled out in the end like they did with Dewey in Scream 1 & 2!!! :(

All in all I'd give it a 4/5.

^^ Wow, that sounds fantastic!

The fact that Kirby dies is something unexpected, but you have to understand, Scream is all about the unexpected. New decade new rules, lol. Overall, I'm lovign the fact that pewople are calling it the best of the sequels and the fact that the puns are there. That was one of many aspects of the first 3 films that I loved!

Overall, I can't wait until April 15th! :up:
 
Nice review, kickass. Glad you enjoyed it.

Although your comment about some people may hate who the killer turns out to be worries me.
 
The only ones I'd hate being the killer are...

Any of the original 3. Those are literally the only ones that I'd sit back and go WTF now would they do something like this?
 
^^
Well, tbh. It's not that impossible. I mean,after all that's happened, it may have caused something to spark in their head. Maybe even sidney's return to her roots. Though, I ahve to say, I don't see this happening one bit.
