I normally respect your takes but this one is fricking terrible

There's just too much that bothers me about the scream franchise. It just never hit right with me. I am a fan of wes Cravens work for the most part, really enjoyed the nightmare series, hills have eyes, last house on the left, serpent and the rainbow and people under the stairs..

I feel quite the opposite on that number though, felt more like 1 out of the 4 was a decent watch and the rest were kinda repetitive and predictable. I had already disliked them, but then in my 20s got involved with a girlfriend I grew to hate. All those were her favorite films ever. So there's that too, having to watch them multiple times against my will

I get people like them, see them differently, enjoy the fun it gives them..im just always gonna hate on them I think. I kinda enjoy hating though, so.. in a strange way they are welcome for that reason.

TD is sometimes an outlet for my rage. I know I enjoy a lot of horrible shite. I'm watching "The Devils Rain" with William Shatner and Ernest Borgnine as i write this.

Bonus Story..

My mom eventually opened up a dental practice when I was going into my teenage years..she took it upon herself to set me up on a blind date with a girl patient that she felt sorry for. She was deaf and had some more issues which I didn't know going in, on a days notice. For the date, we went saw scream 1. No parents came and to communicate i had to use pen and paper..she could kinda read lips,, but my people came from Houma so there was no chance.

And with that, I also have that strange association with the series. She wasn't a Nasty/shitty girl or anything horrible, I'm just not a hallmark movie and it was all awkward as frick. I'm sure for both of us.
