Looks like someone needs another paycheque.
There is zero need or demand for another freaky Friday besides from the people raking in the money for another sequel milked from a dead ip.
Right? There's nothing stopping them from making yet another reboot rather than a sequel.
Or just make something original.
Take the themes and elements that you want to elaborate on and put them into a new story, with new characters.
No, they just want money. No storytelling or thought put into anything beyond a paycheque.
None of these ideas are my original thoughts. I'm paraphrasing a bunch of other folks.
Similar things happened to music in the 1960s and movies in the 1970s. The old system had fallen apart and no one in charge had any idea what to do. The only thing they could think of was to throw cash at anything that moved and hope for the best.
That's why in the 1960s you could have bands as diverse as Frank Zappa and Bob Dylan, and Sha-Na-Na and Iron Butterfly etc etc all getting a chance. They guys [it was 99% men] who understood Sinatra and Bing Crosby just went with whatever the kids seemed interested in.
Same thing in the 1970s with movies. 'Star Wars' was a giant gamble, but the studio heads figured they had to try something.
Cut to today. Entertainment industry has figured out how to keep the machine moving. We'll keep getting Taylor Swift and Marvel movies until the next generation stops paying.
Obviously, this is only scratching the surface.
My hat's off to Lindsay if she's finally gotten her act together.
Cringiest thing I ever saw was her and Charlie Sheen in Scary Movie 5
Oh, now I want to see that. Is 4 any good or should I skip it?
I’m sure you’ll be able to keep up with the story of five without the context.
I haven’t seen scary movie four, but if I had to guess? You can skip it.
Dunno man, probably very important world and character building
Srsly tho, I think the biggest prereq to these movies is watching the horror films they riff off of. I was very confused in Scary Movie 2 because I didn't see half the films they referenced.
I like humor, but not horror.
They are all pretty much variations on the same joke.
Lindsay and Charlie Sheen have one scene together.
Who is Charlie?
I don't know who Charlie is, but I know he don't surf!!
I'm sick of unoriginal content but this does sound like a fun movie to check out.
Lindsay Lohan fuckin sucks. Wild that people are still willing to work with her after the Harvey Weinstein stuff.
What did she due regarding Weinstein ?
She publicly defended him in the midst of the Me Too movement, when all the allegations came out about him
Interesting. Was he buying her drugs or sth? He must have had some sort if leverage over her.
