I've owned it for 25 years, & have 3 different versions of it. It seems we have a simple difference of opinion as far as the pacing of the film goes. I still love the movie. To the people saying she was "kinda" hot or "never" hot you guys would have been falling at her feet back when she was in her 20s. She was one of the most beautiful women in the world back then. If the shoe was on the other foot she'd be all over it. She consistently makes it obvious that she simply hates men. I don't think so. She was the teen sex symbol of her generation, nothing more nothing less. I'm not hating on her at all by saying that, I was a big fan of Scream & Jawbreaker as a young teen, & she was my first crush. She was really good in Scream but that was when she was still young & applying herself. After she got with Marilyn Mason she just had the 'starf*** her way to the top mentality, started doing drugs all the time & stopped applying herself. Her acting in Charmed is terrible & soulless. I'm sure the sexual assault took a toll on her mental state as well & was probably the source for most of the drug use. She was a good actress when she wanted to be, but she didn't apply herself much at all after Scream. I believe its been stated by either Craven or Williamson that the purpose of the attack was to just to toy with & scare her. I didn't see it in theaters & I'm glad of that. I grew up with the uncut VHS. This is definitely the best version of Robin Hood. As well as my favorite Disney Animated film. This is the Gold Standard as far as I'm concerned. Also I don't hate Prince of Thieves. I rewatched this movie for the first time in about 20 years, & honestly I feel like the pacing is terrible & everything happens to fast in it as well. I have never read the book. Pretty much as soon as the tour starts the fences go out & everything goes to shit. There is no build up to it, & it irritated the crap out of me. This movie isn't the greatest, but yes the original Halloween is overrated. I have always thought that Scream should have been a stand alone film. View all replies >
