i don't think there's a more pointless or evil message on a work slack than "let me know if you have a minute to sync" maybe just a blank "hello" but it's close

oh yeah these are trying to square a really odd circle, the "first" one (released second) is supposed to be a late-70s-early-80s throwback, and the first-one-released, "part 5", is supposed to be an even worse throwback: a 90s direct-to-video pile

i skipped...4? i think? then hit 5 because of the Radio Silence guys and at that point decided i was in for a penny on 6. i'm curious what your thoughts are on the Third Saturday in October sorta-not-really franchise, they felt more earnest but not like. good to watch

synthesis: i will also blame Wes Craven for Cabin in the Woods, but i will NOT give him credit for Scream 6, which was somehow, kinda, pretty good? made me like Scream 5's cast a lot more retroactively

yeah i mean, he had to basically remake New Nightmare with teenagers to get people into theaters, and i don't think he made a single good movie after that (i'm enough of a hog in slop to say My Soul To Take is minorly underrated though, like a C+ in a field of Ds)

i liked Scream a lot more until The Final Girls came out and i did a full 180 on its deeply cynical position on its own genre, but even then, Drew Goddard is no Wes Craven

for being an attempted definitive statement on horror from someone whose experience in the industry is writing a script carried by the direction (Cloverfield) and episodes from the we're-still-doing-this-shit seasons of buffy, that isn't half as smart as it thinks it is, but sure is twice as smug
