My wife and I love to binge watch scary movies in October. Looking for stuff that's truly scary and not just gore. Watcha got?

I hate hate hate the first Scary Movie, the "comedy" was too obvious for me.

But I got talked into watching the second one despite thinking I would hate it, and I found that one hilarious.

Well, you're probably forgetting the law that the second movie can never be better than the first.

But seriously, the first one fit right into my teenage sense of humor. I don't think I could laugh at any of the movies today.

Edit: Language

Same. lol As a kid, the first 3 movies were hilarious to me. Now, not so much. But I really appreciate them for what they were back in the day.

I don't know, I think parodies might be immune to that law. It's very hard to keep the second act of a 3 part story interesting, but making something funny that's ripping off something else probably doesn't have that same limitation

(That wasn't really meant seriously)

Thank you for the clarification, honestly I was aware but one of my favorite things to do is to respond to a non-serious post with a serious answer.

Not in a condescending way, of course. For some reason it brings me great joy.

[–] Jay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

In my opinion, this explanation makes you very likeable.

I hated that they made a parody based on a parody.
