The desk already said no to Scream. This is that no, with less courage and more smirk.

The review

You do not need the plot. A killer in a mask, a group of teenagers, and a film that believes the way through fear is to make the fear embarrassing. Embarrassment is not courage. A thirteen-year-old who has just seen the Scream 7 tile one row up will meet this and think the whole subject is a joke he is old enough for.

He isn't. Leave both tiles. The standard is the same sentence: do not make a game out of a girl being hunted.

Journal

Keep Scary Movie in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 15. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Scream

26 instead of 15

Scream is still a horror film, and it scores 26 instead of 15. What you gain is industry: It is well made.

The eight

1
Industry
No work.
2
Household
Teenagers as types.
1
Piety
Nothing is sacred. That is the product.
2
Courage
Running, played as a gag.
1
Republic
A school as a set.
1
Temperance
Sex jokes and a body count, both for the laugh.
3
Truth
It is honest that the genre is a formula. Honesty is not a defense.
1
Stewardship
What it handed a generation was permission to quote the murder.

Ali G: Who Iz I?

This is what Prime put in front of a child this morning. Crude on purpose. Do not press play.

The review

Prime's home screen this Sunday morning opens on a man in a yellow tracksuit and a logline about an eight-month pregnancy. That is the store, not a kids' row. Sacha Baron Cohen's old character was a trick played on adults who did not know they were in a bit. This film is the character as a product, aimed at whoever is holding the remote, including the age that still finds a dirty joke proof of being grown.

Leave it. If a thirteen-year-old has already pressed play, turn it off and say the plain thing: a baby and a woman's body are not a costume.
