OK, so I’m watching “Scream 3” right now (this is not my proudest statement). I just finished watching part two (this is not my second proudest statement). Don’t ask me why I opted for skipping the first one (though I am pretty proud of that), I just wasn’t in the mood to watch high schoolers getting slashed; I felt collegiate and Hollywood murders were more my taste tonight.
You’re probably wondering why I’m bothering watching these films at all, so I’ll tell you…. I watch them for the same reason why I eat snickers followed by large gulps of cold soda to cut the sweetness; or why I like smoking cigars once in a while with my jack and coke; it’s junk food for my brain. Plus Patrick Dempsey, Jay and Silent Bob, Parker Posey and the guy who played The Tick cameos make it almost completely worth wasting two hours of my life. Almost.
Even though the longer I watch these films, not only can I feel my brain slowly beginning to ooze out of my ears like a thick jelly, I also find myself unable to look away. I have the same problem when driving by flashing police cruisers and ambulances parked on the side of the freeway. Though… this may very well be my favorite of the three “Scream” movies because it’s making tremendous fun of itself. Not that I’m a huge fan of slasher films unless it’s Halloween and we have nothing better to do.
This is also probably going to be my shortest blog for obvious reasons: it is definitely not one of those movies you discuss later because of its depth. All I can say is that I am so glad I watched “Inglorious Basterds” yesterday. I will definitely be watching it again later… that is if I have any brain cells left and an IQ high enough to know how to turn on a television. Yeah... I can't watch this anymore. My eyes are beginning to cross and I'm actually considering putting blonde streaks in my hair....
