scream 4 (no spoilers)

Commissions are currently OPEN! See below for more information.
Don't wait for the queue to shrink—the commission docket is rarely empty.You guys may or may not know Scream is basically my favorite movie ever. :D I saw it in the theatre 4 fucking times as a teenager.
I liked Scream 2... Scream 3 was terrible.
Scream 4 is... well, all I'll say is, it's worth watching, if not just for the nostalgia alone. It is incredibly true to the trailers, so you won't feel cheated. They tell you what to expect right there in the trailer, so don't worry you'll have the rug pulled out from under you, because you won't.
I think Wes balanced just the right amount of "expected" and "twist" so that you don't end up with a "what the fuck" ending (see Scream 3 and, in part, Scream 2). The killer is -- well, without giving anything away, let's just say thanks to today's "attention-whore" generation, it makes perfect sense. And that's important in this franchise (which is why Scream 3 sucked so hardcore).
The characters I've grown to love, the survivors, kept me coming back, and I honestly think the movie could have been terrible and had them in it and I'd still love it, but seriously. It was fun. I was prepared to let a few (or all) of them go and I would have been sad. I won't tell you if any of them do, but I think they carried it out with enough grace that I was saying 1/4 of the way through the film that I was prepared to handle it. I never felt cheated, and that's a big thing with a franchise you love. You don't want to feel cheated. I've felt cheated by franchises before and still stuck by them, but I can honestly say (with the exception of Scream 3, which honestly felt like a side-step to Scary Movie, LOL) I didn't, here.
So go see it. :D If you love the franchise, I think you'll at least walk away with a little smile, even if you don't totally love it.

"*gurglegurgle* ..W-WRYYY?" "CUZ U TALK 2 MACH!!! *STABBITY*" <--I loooolll'd
I keep hearing rumors of the start of a new Scream Trilogy, which would be interesting in ways, but in others I'd have preferred 4 to have ended differently to bring that about.
The reality is that as far as horror movies go, there really is only one rule that should keep anyone safe. Even in real life.
"Always mind your surroundings."
Im gonna go this SAT to see it I cant wait
