Interesting fact about Scream 3: The original script was VERY different. Stu Macher was meant to survive having that TV dropped on his face in the first movie, and then end up in prison. He would then start orchestrating a new string of killings, by using a couple of new high school students that he was somehow connected to, and had communication with from the inside. Just weeks before filming started, the Columbine shooting happened. As a result, writer Kevin Williamson and director Wes Cravin decided that making a movie about 2 high schoolers murdering their peers would have hit too close to home. That version of the film was shelved, and THIS version was written instead.
@@crystalsnow1138 I think I would have liked the original version better. I can respect the reasons they had for scraping the original idea though. Even Neve Campbell mentioned in a recent interview that she felt that the whole Roman being Sid’s half-brother sub-plot was pretty out of left field.
The film's critique on the predatory nature of Hollywood was ahead of its time. It's a shame that so few ppl listened when insiders were trying to speak out back then.
Best part is that Milton is essentially a Weinstein, the Weinstiens didn’t like his character and Wes put him in specifically to call attention to them.
39:55 the reason people say the reveal was revolutionary is because there wasn’t many horror films at that point with 2 killers. So everyone was assuming it was 1 person the whole time. And it was genius because they wrote Billy as an obvious killer to the point where it made too much sense for him to be the killer by the middle of the movie. So it was almost reverse psychology to the audience and we were like, “it can’t be him. Too obvious.” And then it ended up BEING Billy all along AND a second killer. So yes, it was revolutionary for its time and how it was written and directed.
@@JoltzDaGhost That’s true. I did see him say that he would have the same reaction to Scream whether he saw Scary movie or not. But I just barely buy that lol
@buffyandangelclipshd9869 Born in '92, and I think I saw the Scary Movie films first haha. I legit realised yesterday that the leads in SM1 were called Cindy and Bobby because of Sidney and Billy hahaha (yep, I'm sufficiently embarrassed)
I like Scream 3, I enjoy the humor. It has its issues unfortunately due to a major tragedy that forced the studio to use more humor and less violence and the original plot was changed majorly
as I recall the studio requested no killing scene but Wes said no lol honestly if they just delay the schedule for 1 more year we might have a better version of Scream 3
I loved Scream 3, I know many hate it but I don't care. I thought Roman was excellent as a reveal and him being the original killer of the mom was a great twist. Yes it has it cheesy moments but they had to change the script a billion times and I understand why it's flawed.
It's still my favorite reveal of the franchise. I don't care what people say about any of the films. I love them all. Besides, he said the acting in Scream (1996) was terrible, when it was actually fantastic. So no opinion will change my views on the films.
I agree, Scream 3 is the funniest and Jennifer Jolie is one of my favorites characters. I think people felt the scooby doo vibe was cheesy but I felt like they were making fun of the movie within the movie
I love it as well. Idk it just hits me in the gut when he's going to die & Sydney holds his hand. I would have been fine if this film was just a trilogy.
One very cool and subtle thing that carries over into the sequels (including this film) is that Syd wears Derek's letters (from pt II) around her neck. She never could let him go or get over the fact that right up until his death, she feared that he might be one of the killers in pt II.
The reason why people were surprised by the reveal in Scream 1 is because it was too obvious. The film tricked the audience because he's the obvious suspect. Naturally people felt it must be someone not obvious.
And there is also subtle hints that Billy was the killer like when Randy, Stu and other people was watching Halloween and one of the partygoers got upset that the blood was too red. And that scene happened before the sex scene between Sidney and Billy. And once Billy got stabbed, the “blood” on his shirt was bright red.
Roman didn’t kill Maureen Prescott. He showed Billy the video of his father cheating on his mother with Maureen and inspired Billy to kill her. He didn’t actually kill her himself he just put events into motion
I love this movie! Some hate it, but it's definitely in the top 3 of the franchise for me. My fun tidbits for this one: 1) Neve (Sidney) goes on to play Patrick Dempsey's (Detective Kincade) sister on Grey's Anatomy. 2) There is a music video for this movie featuring Dewey: "What If" by Creed.
Fun Facts: the character Detective Kincaid was originally supposed to be the second killer. Which is why he seemed suspicious & eager to see Sydney. But the script was changed & they made Kincaid the good guy
Your look of disgust at Gale's look. LOL. 7:05-7:18 It's official. Scream is part of the Clerks universe. It is scarily effective how the killer uses the voice changer to mimic more than one voice to fool his victims. Wonderfully adorable reaction to Dewey's proposal.
Each Scream movie had a different flavor. This was campy fun and if you watch it in that frame of mind it's a lot of fun. The 4th movie is stranger than this and better.
This movie is just a fun time for me. A lot of funny moments, some tense moments. Just a fun slasher, better to go into these movies and not take them seriously, just at face value
This movie gets shit on a lot, but I actually really enjoyed it. It had a lot of problems, but it kept me entertained throughout so I think it did its job
Man I value your reactions to horror even when I don't agree cause you're a fresh set of eyes & interpretation, and I think that's where fans of reactors get lost (I know it can he rough on me as a reactor & fans of reactors), when someone's response & reaction doesn't mirror ours, if you take it personal it can be a slap to your ego (if you take it that way), but what reactors do that I don't think gets alot of mention is the fresh set if eyes & ears to a movie or song or anything we react to lol. People not liking scream 2 or dogging it is so weird & new for me, but it's their interpretation. However like it or not, I will side eye everyone who has a Scream movie ranked below this one based on anything bur Nostalgia 🤣
There's a movie called "The Town" it's a crime thriller about bank robbers, written and directed by Ben Affleck, also starring Ben Affleck, Rebecca Hall, Jeremy Renner and Jon Hamm. Really good story, really good cast, really shot well, I think you'll enjoy it.
@@emonikellum428 actually it’s a Copy and paste of Heat. Set it off and the town have two different stories as well as action scenes but similar endings
Dude, your reactions to this movie were fire! Seriously, every time I see a new upload, it brightens my day. And don't worry, this movie is indeed hard to get through, but at least it's not the Leprechaun sequels.
I think half the issue with Scream 3 as a film is that Kevin Williamson (the writer of the first two) had become so busy that all he had was a rough outline for the script, and another writer (Ehren Krueger) came in to write the script. With some scenes, not being given to the actors until the day of shooting, as it was being written as it was being filmed. Many people do theorize that there was a second killer (Angelina [aka the new Sidney in Stab] was drafted as one in one of the scripts and was originally going to be a former classmate of Sidney's and Roman's lover). One of the highlights of this film is easily Parker Posey as Jennifer Jolie (aka Gale in Stab), her comedic timing and performance is one of the reasons, why despite Scream 3 being my personal, least favorite of the franchise, makes the film still rewatchable.
It has nothing to do with Kevin being to busy. The film already had the entire setup planned out. The tragic columbine shooting is what ultimately made the rewrites happen and it become so messy. Stu was originally supposed to be alive, Angelina was supposed to be a killer. It had nothing to do with schedules or bringing in new writers.
The thing about the Billy twist that works is that everyone expected one killer. That was the norm. Billy was the obvious so it makes you question it knowing theres a twist. Especially with the time between Billy coming threw the window and Stu leaving the door. Stu being the second killer is the big twist.
Kevin Williamson unfortunately didn't write this so that probably was one of the main reasons it's not so good. Also, at one point the fake Sidney actress was going to be a second killer which is why she's caught with the costume and she disappears for a while around the house blowing up scene and her death is fairly vague.
Scream 3 is a mess but a lot of that has to do with what happened behind the scenes more than anything. It's frankly a miracle anything ended up on screen at all even if it was mediocre.
The style changes were all attributed to the recent Columbine killings in 1999. The entire movie had to be changed and adjusted. It was intentional by Wes Craven, the studio and the writers.
Fun Fact: Shortly before production began, David Arquette (Dewey) married Courtney Cox (Gail) in real life in a 1999 ceremony. All 6 members of Friends were attending. Their marriage produced a child, Coco (born 2004), and while it ended in a divorce in 2013, they remain close friends and worked together in the new Scream movie. :)
Courtney Cox (Gayle) said her stylist just decided to give her bangs last minute. Normally, the part for the bangs goes further back (closer to the center of your head) but for some reason, this stylist just barely gave her a middle part then chopped the bangs WAY too short. Courtney hated/hates them just as much as everyone else. I'm just wondering why no other stylist on set saw this and didn't attempt to make a part further back to attempt to give her better bangs.
As bad as this film can be compared to the rest of the series it's still a fun time. I did think the plot twist with Sidney having a brother was pretty cool but i have to wonder... Why does NO ONE go to therapy? Why is MURDER the first thing? I think the only sin we can't forgive is the most obvious... Courtney Cox's hair in this film, just why?
Just wanted to say that I've watched a lot of your videos and I wanted to commend you on something. You seem to be a deeply thoughtful and considerate human being and it's refreshing to see. Not only are you a joy to watch because of how hilarious you are, but you strike an emotional cord in those who may be suffering from something and looking for an escape in your videos. Thank you for being such a positive force and contributing to the support of those who may need a little extra care and attention to help them through their traumas and experiences. You're a really sweet soul and I hope that you find all of the happiness and success your heart desires.
As a lot of folks have mentioned, this film (like its predecessor) was a victim of script leaks which led to a lot of last minute scenes and editing to keep the killer reveal a mystery. In one of those leaks, Angelina was meant to be one of the killers. During editing, they kept a lot of her build-up scenes which, unfortunately, led to a convoluted mess of a final cut, where the audience is left wondering why so many of her (out of place) scenes appeared.
Great review, Mr. Mel!l It's the "Awww" at the end for me! This is my fav Scream, because I was old enough to watch it unlike the first two. I like the reveal for how it pieced everything together. Now as an adult, if this was my first time seeing it, I wouldn't care too much for it. But it's my childhood.
So roman was hard to predict because we thought he was dead but other than this film its pretty predictable who the killer is in all films.. i figured 5 out pretty quick
people always forget scream was born as a spoof on this genre. . .so to some extent its supposed to be predicitable . . it was just a better made movie than most spooofs so most people forget that
I rather like this movie and the series, my only complaint with this movie is the voice changer. Roger Jackson created everything that is so sinister and chilling about Ghostface in his VO, the malicious phone calls, the taunting, makes him so creepy. And the other voices just don’t work. I wonder if it was some kind of contract disagreement that he isn’t used the whole time.
Nice! Three down, two to go; and trust me dude, you're gonna have a blast with Scream 4! Can't say much about Scream 5 simply because I have not seen it yet (everyone's saying that's good though). 🍿😎🤘
Definitely fell off when watching your reactions but I couldn't stay away Melverse your shit makes me laugh and helps me get through the day much love brobro
The final act where Sidney stabs Roman, Neve Campbell actually did stab Scott Foley. His screams of pain were legit. This Scream is not a good movie. It's a fun movie.
In another script Angelina was the second killer. Which explains some of her weird behavior thru the movie. I remember seeing the trailer on t.v and thinkin the detective was the killer lol. the acting with the "Stab" cast was horrible but I think that was the point. I hate it and love it overall all this one the killer has the best motive and that it was revealed Roman is who sparked the idea in Billy and Stu's head.
I’m so mad this movie didn’t get to flow the way it was originally intended. Cause so many things would make more sense. I’m sure you’ve seen the other comments explaining what I mean. But watching you react to gales awful bangs is good enough. Cause them shits were a terrorist attack
Great reaction as always man! Gotta say this tho… “almost gets murdered by psycho killers twice in her life…. Lives in a house with glass doors… all those locks don’t mean shit if you can put your foot through the door…” 🤦♂️🤣
Snootchie bootchies! I couldn't believe it when I saw jay and silent bob walk by. They was obviously at the studios to try and stop blunt man and chronic from getting made.😂
Haha so just a couple of things: Judy Jergenstern is Jennifer’s actual name. Jennifer Jolie is her stage, hence the brad Pitt reference and her name (Jennifer Aniston & Angelina Jolie) Also Stab 1 and 2 were based off the events we saw in scream 1 and 2. For Stab 3 they were just making stuff up
I dont think its a combination of Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie. Since this film premiered in 2000 and the whole affair/ relationship between Brad and Angelina was in 2004/5
You should see again that parody scene in Scary Movie 2 at the end when Shorty steal the store, he first leave those tips for survive in reference to the VHS scene on this one. Great videos man.
Entertaining? Yes! Bad writing? Yes! I just have one question, I NEVER got answered: If Roman was searching for Sidney in the beginning of the movie, HOW AND WHEN DID HE FIND OUT, WHERE SHE WAS??? How and when did he find out her phone number and that she was "Laura"??? That´s NEVER explained as far as I´ve noticed, but I think it would have been important.............
I heard someone say recently that Cotton apparently knew where she was. I don't know why he would though 🤷🏼♀️ but that's why the killer went to him and asked where she was.
Also they did make it a point about other people using Dewey's phone. He said just Jennifer and Kincaid. Idk if Roman was able to get ahold of his phone at one point too, and get it back without being noticed. Or if that was just a red herring towards Kincaid being the killer.
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was being filmed at the same time on the same lot and featured Wes Craven (as himself) directing a new, hilariously terrible, Scream movie. It was a fantastic meta joke!
Ah, this came out the year before "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back", in which Wes Craven is directing "Scream 4". Wait. So, Jay and Bob exist in the Scream Universe, but the Scream movies exist in the Askewniverse. Weird. But then again Jay and Silent Bob were also Jedi in a Star Wars comic (well, an official parody), so there you go...
My favorite of the series is still Scream 2. With Scream 3 I like it too but not as much , it’s like I understand what they were trying to do but it just fell flat . So sometimes I’ll let certain stuff “slide” cause they meant well if that makes sense. I loved the house set scene, and how the killer could change his voice , even Cotton’s death at the beginning of the movie. But definitely agree with you on the jump scares.
It's ironic and humorous that you mentioned your ”negative" reaction being a problem (this one generally being the least enjoyed of the franchise overall). Just speaking for myself, I find very little enjoyment watching this movie beyond Parker Posey's over-the-top performance.
It actually works okay as a comedy. They really should've dove headfirst into that aspect of it, like Sam Raimi with Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. But yeah, as a Scream movie, lots of us share in your disappointment Mell. EDIT: "...I _guess,_ man" lmao yep, perfect reaction to the asinine twist. Then again I had completely forgotten about the scene where GAIL LITERALLY CHECKS ROWAN'S PULSE AND CONFIRMS HE'S DEAD. Disregard the working okay as a comedy, this movie is kinda just a heap of shit.
I mean there won’t be too much push back on your opinion on this one. I hated this movie as a teenage because it takes away from the motivation or demystifies the original killers in a way. But over time I have learned to love it. Despite it’s weaknesses it’s still a fun Scooby-Doo caper to watch. Again I really can’t wait for you to see Scream 4! Again I can’t praise that movie enough. I hope you’ll be able to consider how ahead of it’s time it was with the context of things that’s happen in the ten years that passed since 2011. But also if you don’t like it, it is what it is🤷🏻♂️
There’s a fan theory that Roman was the Ghostface that was in the bushes & following Sidney in the grocery store in the first movie. It’s an interesting way to really tie it all together since Roman being the mastermind of it all is really out of left field.
I like this theory, but the only problem with it is that Roman only supplied the motivation he didn't know Billy and Stu were going to go on a killing spree. With that said, because Roman didn't know, he wouldn't have known to buy the same exact costume that the original killers used because he wouldn't have known they were going to choose those as their outfits
He doesn’t say that at all, he actually says “Once I supplied the motivation, all the kid needed was a few pointers. Have a partner to sell out in case you get caught, it was like he was making a movie…” it’s totally likely the costume & the order of the spree was Roman’s idea & the three of them planned it together. But obviously since it wasn’t planned from the beginning, you can’t connect all the dots.
Scream 3 is the low point of this franchise, so your feelings about this film are understandable. Scream 4 is what I consider to be the true sequel to Scream 2. It goes back to form with some new energy. I'm looking forward to your reaction to Scream 4!
I don’t mind your opinion but you’re just going to have to understand what kind of movie you’re going into, a slasher movie. It is true that there are outrageous stupid elements, but the filmmakers are very aware of that. It’s a commentary on slasher movie sequels and how inferior and ridiculous they turn out to be, including cameos most of them had. Don’t think Wes Craven had lost his touch. Just keep this in mind going on into the fourth movie. The fourth will deal with remakes around 2011. When they replaced the Campiness of the series they were remaking with a more realistic gritty style and gore. Yes, slasher movies will always have stupid moments. Let’s just check our brains in at the door when it comes to these kinds of movies and have some fun. I enjoy your laughs.
I actually like it better when movie reviewers are honest with their opinions on movies because it gives the viewers a more honest sense of the movie rather than having the reviewer saying what they think the viewer wants to hear which makes it harder to know what people really think and going them go into the movies with unrealistic expectations.
Hey, man! Love your reactions! The reason that the writing and such in this film seems so uneven is because they had to ax the original idea. Originally Matt Lillard was going to reprise his role of accomplice Stu Macher from the first film having survived the tv dropped on his head (Watch that moment again but pay attention to his stomach just before the cut from the shot of him under the tv-His stomach is still moving, showing he’s breathing). In that original script Stu was in prison and horribly disfigured from the tv drop. He was sort of tutoring Woodsboro High students from a Stab fan club who were obsessed with the film and the string of murder that inspired it. Then the Columbine shooting happened and they felt it’d hit too closely to that real life tragedy soon after it occurred so it was scrapped. The Hollywood film sequel story took its place and it was said to have been constantly rewritten during filming (often script segments were rewritten and given to the actors on day of filming respective scenes). Also you have a good eye suspecting that actress Angelina who portrayed Sidney on the in-universe Stab sequel. In the original script she was going to be Roman’s lover and accomplice who also turned out to be a former schoolmate of Sidney at Westboro who was obsessed with her and wanting her fame.
Scream 3 is by far the worse, but it had a lot against it. Only had Neve for a limited time, the original writer wasn’t able to complete the script and a new writer brought in, lots of studio interference, and like always MPAA came down hard on them.
Another i just now realized is that dialogue about 3 scripts to avoid internet leaks is a joke on what happened to Scream 2 where the ending of the script landed on the internet and they had to rewrite it
Scream 3 is definitely the weakest link in the Scream franchise. Scream 3 had a change in writers, from Kevin Williamson to Ehren Kruger, the writer for Transformers. The violence was also toned down because Columbine happened a few weeks before shooting.
Interesting fact about Scream 3:
The original script was VERY different. Stu Macher was meant to survive having that TV dropped on his face in the first movie, and then end up in prison. He would then start orchestrating a new string of killings, by using a couple of new high school students that he was somehow connected to, and had communication with from the inside.

Wow...Shoulda kept the Columbine script for sure. This movie is hot garbage
Which version of Scream 3 do you think is better. The original script or this one? I know it's hard to imagine if you don't see it come to life.
@@crystalsnow1138 I think I would have liked the original version better. I can respect the reasons they had for scraping the original idea though. Even Neve Campbell mentioned in a recent interview that she felt that the whole Roman being Sid’s half-brother sub-plot was pretty out of left field.
Right, it kinda sounds like a horror version of cobra Kai season 😂🤣😂🤣
and this version could have been good. . .if they delayed abit and took more time with the script and smoothed out some rough edges
The film's critique on the predatory nature of Hollywood was ahead of its time. It's a shame that so few ppl listened when insiders were trying to speak out back then.
Agreed 100%, but there have been movies about the sleaziness of Hollywood almost as long as Hollywood itself has been around.
@@je7055 very true. I wish it didn't take so long for the energy around a movement to call (and END) that terrible shit to come about.
The fact this was produced by the Weinsteins.
Especially, when this came from Miramax (Wienstein's company).
Best part is that Milton is essentially a Weinstein, the Weinstiens didn’t like his character and Wes put him in specifically to call attention to them.
He didn't kill her mom. He convinced billy and stu to do it in the original. He explained that

I did not know she had Derek's letters around her neck until now, it's sad.
Good bit of continuity.
Yeah she didn't put it on till she came back out from hiding. Like Derek said it's for her good luck 💜😭
The reason why people were surprised by the reveal in Scream 1 is because it was too obvious. The film tricked the audience because he's the obvious suspect. Naturally people felt it must be someone not obvious.

Fun Facts: the character Detective Kincaid was originally supposed to be the second killer. Which is why he seemed suspicious & eager to see Sydney. But the script was changed & they made Kincaid the good guy
Also, Kincaid is a nod to Nightmare on elm street 3 & 4
There was also a script where Angelina is the 2nd killer and it still tracks in the final movie up until her death.
I kinda figured. I thought he was the killer the whole time.
👀
Wasn’t there also a draft where Emily Mortimer’s character was a killer.
She lives in the middle of nowhere. Honestly, if I didn't have any neighbours, I wouldn't have any blinds or curtains
Your look of disgust at Gale's look. LOL.
7:05-7:18 It's official. Scream is part of the Clerks universe.
It is scarily effective how the killer uses the voice changer to mimic more than one voice to fool his victims.
Wonderfully adorable reaction to Dewey's proposal.
fo real, her hair due was weird here.
it's the mini bangs of ptsd for me
I love the sillyness and camp style of this movie. It's more like a dark comedy.
Mello seeing the ring inside the book: "Aaaawwwwwww!"
Me seeing the ring in the book: "Bro, you cut a big-ass hole in her book!"
During the Kevin Smith scene everyone noticed him but no one noticed Wes Craven As well as the other key staff in the tour group
Each Scream movie had a different flavor. This was campy fun and if you watch it in that frame of mind it's a lot of fun. The 4th movie is stranger than this and better.
Scream 3 had to go through A LOT of edits to tone down the violence because of the columbine shootings
Roman is a underrated Ghostface he is the true mastermind behind the whole thing.
Gotta say though I found it so cute how you reacted to Dewey's proposal to Gale in this 😊
This movie is just a fun time for me. A lot of funny moments, some tense moments. Just a fun slasher, better to go into these movies and not take them seriously, just at face value
agree, as a Scream movie this one suck, but as a popcorn film this one is so much fun and the tension is great
This movie gets shit on a lot, but I actually really enjoyed it. It had a lot of problems, but it kept me entertained throughout so I think it did its job
Courtney cox's haircut is the scariest thing in this movie.
Tell me about I’ve had nightmares because of it I still do
I always saw the voice changer as a "yeah this guy is working on a multimillion dollar movie and has access to god knows what kind of special effects"

Many people do theorize that there was a second killer (Angelina [aka the new Sidney in Stab] was drafted as one in one of the scripts and was originally going to be a former classmate of Sidney's and Roman's lover). One of the highlights of this film is easily Parker Posey as Jennifer Jolie (aka Gale in Stab), her comedic timing and performance is one of the reasons, why despite Scream 3 being my personal, least favorite of the franchise, makes the film still rewatchable.
It has nothing to do with Kevin being to busy. The film already had the entire setup planned out.
The tragic columbine shooting is what ultimately made the rewrites happen and it become so messy. Stu was originally supposed to be alive, Angelina was supposed to be a killer.
It had nothing to do with schedules or bringing in new writers.
@@mellysomething6296 I wouldn't say "nothing." It definitely was one of the things that affected it
He said “you can’t even get ahold of 911. Must be sprint” had me dying haha
I never take this one seriously, it's just entertaining to watch and I love the cast lol great reaction as always, my dude!
The thing about the Billy twist that works is that everyone expected one killer. That was the norm. Billy was the obvious so it makes you question it knowing theres a twist. Especially with the time between Billy coming threw the window and Stu leaving the door. Stu being the second killer is the big twist.
Kevin Williamson unfortunately didn't write this so that probably was one of the main reasons it's not so good. Also, at one point the fake Sidney actress was going to be a second killer which is why she's caught with the costume and she disappears for a while around the house blowing up scene and her death is fairly vague.
Scream 3 is a mess but a lot of that has to do with what happened behind the scenes more than anything. It's frankly a miracle anything ended up on screen at all even if it was mediocre.
Are you surprised that they're fans who do love Scream 3? It's not my favorite but I do enjoy it.
Yeah I know it's not as good as 1 and 2 but I still like it and appreciate that others will not like this one.
I know this is lesser than 1 and 2 but still fun and interesting overall. A few too many jump scares.
It’s not that bad. I like it more than 4. I don’t give a shit about what people say, 4 is my least favorite easily.
4 is actually really good but like what you like.
4 is the best after the first
4 isn’t bad but I view it just as ok
The style changes were all attributed to the recent Columbine killings in 1999. The entire movie had to be changed and adjusted. It was intentional by Wes Craven, the studio and the writers.
Fun Fact: Shortly before production began, David Arquette (Dewey) married Courtney Cox (Gail) in real life in a 1999 ceremony. All 6 members of Friends were attending. Their marriage produced a child, Coco (born 2004), and while it ended in a divorce in 2013, they remain close friends and worked together in the new Scream movie. :)
Don’t know how to feel about that new movie, spoilers
They did my boy dirty
David and Courtney were actually separated in 2011. They worked together on Scream 4 until the divorce was finalized two Years later.
That alarm on that 5ft fence.. 🤣
Courtney Cox (Gayle) said her stylist just decided to give her bangs last minute. Normally, the part for the bangs goes further back (closer to the center of your head) but for some reason, this stylist just barely gave her a middle part then chopped the bangs WAY too short. Courtney hated/hates them just as much as everyone else. I'm just wondering why no other stylist on set saw this and didn't attempt to make a part further back to attempt to give her better bangs.
As bad as this film can be compared to the rest of the series it's still a fun time. I did think the plot twist with Sidney having a brother was pretty cool but i have to wonder... Why does NO ONE go to therapy? Why is MURDER the first thing? I think the only sin we can't forgive is the most obvious... Courtney Cox's hair in this film, just why?
Just wanted to say that I've watched a lot of your videos and I wanted to commend you on something. You seem to be a deeply thoughtful and considerate human being and it's refreshing to see. Not only are you a joy to watch because of how hilarious you are, but you strike an emotional cord in those who may be suffering from something and looking for an escape in your videos. Thank you for being such a positive force and contributing to the support of those who may need a little extra care and attention to help them through their traumas and experiences. You're a really sweet soul and I hope that you find all of the happiness and success your heart desires.
As a lot of folks have mentioned, this film (like its predecessor) was a victim of script leaks which led to a lot of last minute scenes and editing to keep the killer reveal a mystery. In one of those leaks, Angelina was meant to be one of the killers. During editing, they kept a lot of her build-up scenes which, unfortunately, led to a convoluted mess of a final cut, where the audience is left wondering why so many of her (out of place) scenes appeared.
Great review, Mr. Mel!l It's the "Awww" at the end for me! This is my fav Scream, because I was old enough to watch it unlike the first two. I like the reveal for how it pieced everything together. Now as an adult, if this was my first time seeing it, I wouldn't care too much for it. But it's my childhood.
I absolutely love your reaction to the killer reveal. "I guess man" hahahaha
Whoever did Gales hair is the true villain of the movie.
I love all the scream movies can’t wait for scream 6 this Friday most of the reviews are really good too I’m so hyped 🔥
So roman was hard to predict because we thought he was dead but other than this film its pretty predictable who the killer is in all films.. i figured 5 out pretty quick
people always forget scream was born as a spoof on this genre. . .so to some extent its supposed to be predicitable . . it was just a better made movie than most spooofs so most people forget that
You make a day when I watch your videos keep up the good work bro you definitely have a new fan here
I rather like this movie and the series, my only complaint with this movie is the voice changer. Roger Jackson created everything that is so sinister and chilling about Ghostface in his VO, the malicious phone calls, the taunting, makes him so creepy. And the other voices just don’t work. I wonder if it was some kind of contract disagreement that he isn’t used the whole time.
It's funny to think Jay and silent Bob and by extention a few of Kevin's other characters live in the same universe as scream lol
Nice! Three down, two to go; and trust me dude, you're gonna have a blast with Scream 4! Can't say much about Scream 5 simply because I have not seen it yet (everyone's saying that's good though).
🍿😎🤘
Definitely fell off when watching your reactions but I couldn't stay away Melverse your shit makes me laugh and helps me get through the day much love brobro
New to the channel and the rock sniff in the intro is goated 😂
Been waiting for this! Fire shirt btw bro🔥
Awesome Movie and Work Bro, Thanks!!! Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
Been waiting for your reviews to the rest of this series also big shout out for the punk shirt haha
The final act where Sidney stabs Roman, Neve Campbell actually did stab Scott Foley. His screams of pain were legit.
This Scream is not a good movie. It's a fun movie.
In another script Angelina was the second killer. Which explains some of her weird behavior thru the movie. I remember seeing the trailer on t.v and thinkin the detective was the killer lol. the acting with the "Stab" cast was horrible but I think that was the point. I hate it and love it overall all this one the killer has the best motive and that it was revealed Roman is who sparked the idea in Billy and Stu's head.
I’m so mad this movie didn’t get to flow the way it was originally intended. Cause so many things would make more sense. I’m sure you’ve seen the other comments explaining what I mean.
But watching you react to gales awful bangs is good enough. Cause them shits were a terrorist attack
When Your Done With The Scream Franchise You Should Try To Do The Happy Death Day Franchise.( Only 2 Movies
I still love this movie it’s the weakest of the 5 but it’s still good especially the third act and it has some cool sequences .
Great reaction as always man!
Gotta say this tho… “almost gets murdered by psycho killers twice in her life…. Lives in a house with glass doors… all those locks don’t mean shit if you can put your foot through the door…” 🤦♂️🤣
Snootchie bootchies!
I couldn't believe it when I saw jay and silent bob walk by. They was obviously at the studios to try and stop blunt man and chronic from getting made.😂
Haha so just a couple of things: Judy Jergenstern is Jennifer’s actual name. Jennifer Jolie is her stage, hence the brad Pitt reference and her name (Jennifer Aniston & Angelina Jolie)
Also Stab 1 and 2 were based off the events we saw in scream 1 and 2. For Stab 3 they were just making stuff up
I dont think its a combination of Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie. Since this film premiered in 2000 and the whole affair/ relationship between Brad and Angelina was in 2004/5
You should see again that parody scene in Scary Movie 2 at the end when Shorty steal the store, he first leave those tips for survive in reference to the VHS scene on this one.
Great videos man.
Entertaining? Yes!
Bad writing? Yes!
I just have one question, I NEVER got answered:
If Roman was searching for Sidney in the beginning of the movie, HOW AND WHEN DID HE FIND OUT, WHERE SHE WAS??? How and when did he find out her phone number and that she was "Laura"??? That´s NEVER explained as far as I´ve noticed, but I think it would have been important.............
I heard someone say recently that Cotton apparently knew where she was. I don't know why he would though 🤷🏼♀️ but that's why the killer went to him and asked where she was.
Also they did make it a point about other people using Dewey's phone. He said just Jennifer and Kincaid. Idk if Roman was able to get ahold of his phone at one point too, and get it back without being noticed. Or if that was just a red herring towards Kincaid being the killer.
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was being filmed at the same time on the same lot and featured Wes Craven (as himself) directing a new, hilariously terrible, Scream movie. It was a fantastic meta joke!
Scream is as much about humor as it is terror. That's what is missing from part 3
Ah, this came out the year before "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back", in which Wes Craven is directing "Scream 4".
Wait. So, Jay and Bob exist in the Scream Universe, but the Scream movies exist in the Askewniverse.
Weird. But then again Jay and Silent Bob were also Jedi in a Star Wars comic (well, an official parody), so there you go...
I wish cotton didn’t die. He was great in this movie.
My favorite of the series is still Scream 2. With Scream 3 I like it too but not as much , it’s like I understand what they were trying to do but it just fell flat . So sometimes I’ll let certain stuff “slide” cause they meant well if that makes sense. I loved the house set scene, and how the killer could change his voice , even Cotton’s death at the beginning of the movie. But definitely agree with you on the jump scares.
I saw your expression in the thumbnail and thought it might be your reaction to Gale's bangs in this movie 😂😂😂
No, Mell, I for one, appreciate you keeping it REAL with this reaction and I guess because I agree with your thoughts about it. Keep it up! :D
Scream 4 is a big improvement. It’s probably my favorite sequel in the series.
It's ironic and humorous that you mentioned your ”negative" reaction being a problem (this one generally being the least enjoyed of the franchise overall). Just speaking for myself, I find very little enjoyment watching this movie beyond Parker Posey's over-the-top performance.
It actually works okay as a comedy. They really should've dove headfirst into that aspect of it, like Sam Raimi with Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. But yeah, as a Scream movie, lots of us share in your disappointment Mell. EDIT: "...I _guess,_ man" lmao yep, perfect reaction to the asinine twist. Then again I had completely forgotten about the scene where GAIL LITERALLY CHECKS ROWAN'S PULSE AND CONFIRMS HE'S DEAD. Disregard the working okay as a comedy, this movie is kinda just a heap of shit.
I mean there won’t be too much push back on your opinion on this one. I hated this movie as a teenage because it takes away from the motivation or demystifies the original killers in a way. But over time I have learned to love it. Despite it’s weaknesses it’s still a fun Scooby-Doo caper to watch.
Again I really can’t wait for you to see Scream 4! Again I can’t praise that movie enough. I hope you’ll be able to consider how ahead of it’s time it was with the context of things that’s happen in the ten years that passed since 2011.
But also if you don’t like it, it is what it is🤷🏻♂️
I like how Scream 3 was unintentionally funny af
Parker posey made scream for me. So hoping she wouldn't die.
There’s a fan theory that Roman was the Ghostface that was in the bushes & following Sidney in the grocery store in the first movie. It’s an interesting way to really tie it all together since Roman being the mastermind of it all is really out of left field.
I like this theory, but the only problem with it is that Roman only supplied the motivation he didn't know Billy and Stu were going to go on a killing spree. With that said, because Roman didn't know, he wouldn't have known to buy the same exact costume that the original killers used because he wouldn't have known they were going to choose those as their outfits
He wasn’t there. Roman had said “I had no idea they would make a movie of their own”.
He doesn’t say that at all, he actually says “Once I supplied the motivation, all the kid needed was a few pointers. Have a partner to sell out in case you get caught, it was like he was making a movie…” it’s totally likely the costume & the order of the spree was Roman’s idea & the three of them planned it together. But obviously since it wasn’t planned from the beginning, you can’t connect all the dots.
Scream 3 is the low point of this franchise, so your feelings about this film are understandable. Scream 4 is what I consider to be the true sequel to Scream 2. It goes back to form with some new energy. I'm looking forward to your reaction to Scream 4!
Hey love your reactions always fun to watch. Dont know if you already did but (meet the spartans) is a funny movie to react to.
I don’t mind your opinion but you’re just going to have to understand what kind of movie you’re going into, a slasher movie.
It is true that there are outrageous stupid elements, but the filmmakers are very aware of that. It’s a commentary on slasher movie sequels and how inferior and ridiculous they turn out to be, including cameos most of them had.
Don’t think Wes Craven had lost his touch. Just keep this in mind going on into the fourth movie. The fourth will deal with remakes around 2011. When they replaced the Campiness of the series they were remaking with a more realistic gritty style and gore. Yes, slasher movies will always have stupid moments. Let’s just check our brains in at the door when it comes to these kinds of movies and have some fun. I enjoy your laughs.
I actually like it better when movie reviewers are honest with their opinions on movies because it gives the viewers a more honest sense of the movie rather than having the reviewer saying what they think the viewer wants to hear which makes it harder to know what people really think and going them go into the movies with unrealistic expectations.
Hey, man! Love your reactions!
The reason that the writing and such in this film seems so uneven is because they had to ax the original idea. Originally Matt Lillard was going to reprise his role of accomplice Stu Macher from the first film having survived the tv dropped on his head (Watch that moment again but pay attention to his stomach just before the cut from the shot of him under the tv-His stomach is still moving, showing he’s breathing). In that original script Stu was in prison and horribly disfigured from the tv drop. He was sort of tutoring Woodsboro High students from a Stab fan club who were obsessed with the film and the string of murder that inspired it. Then the Columbine shooting happened and they felt it’d hit too closely to that real life tragedy soon after it occurred so it was scrapped.
The Hollywood film sequel story took its place and it was said to have been constantly rewritten during filming (often script segments were rewritten and given to the actors on day of filming respective scenes).
Also you have a good eye suspecting that actress Angelina who portrayed Sidney on the in-universe Stab sequel. In the original script she was going to be Roman’s lover and accomplice who also turned out to be a former schoolmate of Sidney at Westboro who was obsessed with her and wanting her fame.
Your reaction to Gale's bangs… my god. I screamed!
Scream 3 is by far the worse, but it had a lot against it. Only had Neve for a limited time, the original writer wasn’t able to complete the script and a new writer brought in, lots of studio interference, and like always MPAA came down hard on them.
Legit my same reaction when Roman was revealed to be the killer 😂 "Really!? I guess..." 🤣
i never noticed this before but mell has a really nice smile
I love all scream films even 3, its still a fun watch
I fucking love that I discovered ur channel man, I enjoy ur reaction so much 😍😍😍
Scream 3 was my favorite, but I respect your opinion.
Another i just now realized is that dialogue about 3 scripts to avoid internet leaks is a joke on what happened to Scream 2 where the ending of the script landed on the internet and they had to rewrite it
I remember when I accidentally discovered this movie on tv. I saw the first 2 on vhs and had no idea there was a 3rd.
I can't objectively review these movies cuz of the nostalgia factor. I appreciate your review and honesty.
Scream 3 is definitely the weakest link in the Scream franchise. Scream 3 had a change in writers, from Kevin Williamson to Ehren Kruger, the writer for Transformers. The violence was also toned down because Columbine happened a few weeks before shooting.
