"Scream" (1996)
Ghostface: "Do you like scary movies, Sidney?"
Sidney Prescott: "I like that thing you're doing with your voice, Randy, it's sexy."
Ghostface: "What's your favorite scary movie?"
Sidney Prescott: "Oh, come on You know I don't watch that shit."
Ghostface: "Why not? Too scared?"
Sidney Prescott: "No, no. It's just what's the point? They're all the same. Some stupid killer stalking some big breasted girl who can't act who's always running up the stairs when she should be going out the front door. It's insulting."
Gale Weathers: "Kenny, I know you're about fifty pounds overweight. But, when I say 'move it,' please interpret that as MOVE YOUR FAT, TUB OF LARD ASS, NOW!!"
Much like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," it's kind of wild that this is the first time I'm talking about the "Scream" series on this blog. It's kind of strange that I love these movies so much because overall I am not a horror girlie. In fact, I don't think that I watched the whole opening sequence of "Scream" until I saw the sequel in the theater with my mom. This is a movie that I watched piecemeal. I would like hype myself up to watch it and then stop. Start, then stop. But, eventually I watched it all and I've now seen it a million times. To the point that I can probably quote it from memory. It's one of my favorite movies of all-time. Who would have ever guessed?
