[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 298082, member: 5079"] I think all of this cumulatively covers why I don't care for the sequel very much. SCREAM, for all of its knowingness, feels grounded and plausible; at least as plausible as any slasher flick can be. The sequel undermines itself with too many[I] wink-wink [/I]jokes, too much contrivance, too much self-awareness. I can't get sucked into a story that constantly draws attention to itself. The Tori Spelling cameo might have gotten a laugh, but it's a cheap gag that strains credibility: what's the likelihood that the very actress Sid cracked would play her did in fact play her? Sometimes too much really is too much. [/QUOTE]
