  • Jason X: you will either think this movie is a complete waste of time, an atrocity to the horror genre, or you can go in, understand it's gonna be REAL lame, and have a little fun with it. Paying only $5, I was in the latter

  • Your favorite band sucks, and you have terrible taste in movies.

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>I just wanna grab Wes Craven by the ears and shout into his face how big a moron he is. 98% of horror movies are already parodies of themselves. That's why the genre is so shitty - because most people who are writing horror movies are too stupid to come up with something clever and genuinely frightening so they resort to drawing attention to how ridiculous the movie is within the movie itself. The self-reflexive nature of Scream is redundant. It's like making a parody of the Naked Gun.

And don't even get me started on Scary Movie....</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>When people talk about "ironic" films, music, paintings, architecture, or whatever, all they really mean is, here is a film/album/artwork/building that attempts to be original by flaunting its unoriginality. Some people continue to find this clever or hip. I think "irony" so-called had its moment forty years ago, when Andy Warhol first painted those cans of Campbell's Tomato Soup. And yet here we are, still "reveling" (note my hip use of ironic quotations) in it in movies like Scream. Yeah, I'm "thrilled."</div>
