I went to see “Scream 3” last weekend, and I hated it. My husband said it was “okay.” All these people on my “Friends” message board absolutely loved it…some said it was better than the first two. Come on! It was a piece of SHIT! The plot was full of holes, everyone but the main three people die, there’s no suspense, it doesn’t even matter who the killer is because the f\*cking plot makes no sense anyway! I could have pulled a better screenplay out of my ass! Sorry, I just had to get that out. Am I the only one who felt like this? ---

It wasn’t great, I thought it was more stupid funny than scary, which I suppose isn’t good for a movie that bills itself as a “scary movie”. * * * “The idea of a walk-in closet sounds frightening. If I’m ever sittin’ at home and a closet walks in, I’m gettin’ outta there.” ~George Carlin ---

What in God’s name gave you the idea that it was going to be **good**? It’s like going swimming and then complaining that it was just so damn _wet_. -andros- ---

I agree that Scream 3 sucked ostrich nuts. But then, I walked out of the first Scream because I hated it too. . . – Sylence * * * If a bird doesn’t sing, I’ll wait until it sings. - Tokugawa Ieyasu ---

I hate that one of my 8 year old students came up to me yesterday and said, “Guess what! My mom’s going to take me to see Scream 3.” Yes, an ideal film for a young child. * * * Teaching: The ultimate birth control method. [Laura’s Stuff and Things](http://members.aol.com/lrconaway) ---

I wasn’t expecting it to be good. Ebert gave it two stars. I expected mediocre. It was like watching a train wreck. Not even funny in a bad way. ---

Not even funny in a bad way.** Well, then, this sequel is successful in portraying the typical third installment in a trilogy: It sucks. ## Can you imagine, then, what the prequel would be like?
