New City, New Killer! Scream 6 Review

After seeing Scream 6 a second time, I can give my overall thoughts on the film. It is probably my new favorite out of all the Scream films, a spot initially held by Scream 5. This new movie was absolutely nuts, but that's what made it enjoyable. The characters were pretty good. The Core Four was satisfying in every scene they were in, the breakouts being once again Sam and Tara. The new people were okay and bearable, but Gale continued to steal every scene and bring badass energy (though I didn't like how they backtracked her character development from previous films for the first half of the film). My favorite from the film was Tara. And Kirby's return? *Chef's kiss* I almost cried when I thought she had died in Scream 4, but because the film gods are good, they brought her back for another round! I love the change of scenery from the small town of Woodsboro to New York City. Having the characters fight Ghostface in a city known for crazy crime and full of people to the point you don't know who you can trust really helped set the more severe and dangerous tone of the film (especially since it's set during the week of Halloween). The opening? Oh. My. God. Opening-wise, my favorites in order are now: 6, 5, 1, 4, 3, 2. The opening blew my mind because I did not see it coming. The openings set the tone for a Scream movie, and this one didn't fail. I was nervous about going into this movie since Neve Campbell wasn't involved, so there wouldn't be any Sidney Prescott. But they handled it in a way that you barely notice she's not there, and Sidney gets her own sort of peace away from the madness. This film mirrors Scream 2 the way Scream (5) mirrors Scream (2) is perfection to me and makes me curious, for if we get a Scream 7, will it mirror Scream 3.

My slight griped are these:

1. Gale's slight character backtrack.

2. Way too many survivors.

3. The lack of willingness in some of these characters to survive.

But overall, it was an excellent addition to the Scream franchise, and I encourage horror fans to see it!

Ok, Can We Please Talk About Cal Jacobs From "Euphoria?"

                                                                                     Sweet Jesus, I'm so happy that I got into the show Euphoria when I did because this show is hitting different in ways I never thought possible. Now, you should know that I love me a good backstory for a character, particularly the sort of "villain/bad person" characters. So when episode three of Euphoria season 2 came out, the first 20 or so minutes literally had me broken. I never thought these words would leave my lips but oh my God, I feel bad for Cal. Now, before y'all go off and start canceling me let me just say this: I'm not stanning Cal, nor do I think that what happened to him in his past makes up for what he has done now in the present, but I'm kind of looking at this from a so...
