Review this movie
Dec 2, 2012Disney has a hit on it's hands. A strong story with lovable characters as well as a hilarious look into the world of video games makes the movie original and fun. Easily the best animated film of the year. A must see for any gamer out there.
Nov 28, 2012Spearheaded by pristine animation, an intricate story, and a talented vocal cast, Disney Animation's love letter to video games proves to be both affecting and amusing.
Nov 27, 2012Well, it wasn't terrible. Usual kid fare. My son liked it, I guess that qualifies it as a success for the studio. Of course, he eats his boogers and wets the bed, so congrats Hollywood, demographic achieved. On an up note, Jane Lynch is a nice touch.
Nov 25, 2012How many fits have Disney animations have? Earlier this year Brave was released in theaters, which was a huge it, both critically and in box office. In past years, Disney animations also produced hits in all three Toy Story movies, my personal favorite The Incredibles, Wall.E and so much more to name. To date, Disney animations has not made a bad movie yet. Will Wreck-it Ralph be another Disney hit? On the other hand, will it be a rare flop for the great animation studio? Wreck-it Ralph has a talented cast. John C. Reilly as the lead, who has very good, Sarah Silverman was great as the little squeaky voiced girl, which lead to tones of good laughs, and then Jane Lynch who stole the whole show every time she had her wise cracking, … Expand
Nov 23, 2012Wreck-It Ralph is not Toy Story but the experience was the same. Video game references, colorful soundtrack and heartwarming story. Damn, it's one of the best animation this year.
Nov 19, 2012One of the best movies I've seen. It obviously features all of those appearances from famous video game characters such as Sonic that you've probably heard about, but it features a great story that will get any kid or gamer interested. The characters are great, the voice acting fits perfectly, it has a great soundtrack & it had a huge plot-twist that is sure to surprise you. All in all, if you haven't seen it yet, go do it as soon as possible.… Expand
Nov 18, 2012A 3D cinema-going for the weekend of this latest Disney animation (by the luckiest chance I found one in its mother tongue). Being mainly ignorant towards the video games territory, which surprisingly did
Nov 17, 2012Absolutely loved it. Laughed all the way through. Possibly the best animated film since The Incredibles. My ten year-old son thought it was the best he had seen in over a year. Very heartwarming as well.
Nov 17, 2012With deep characters, creative settings, and a surprisingly clever plot, Wreck-It Ralph is definitely one of the biggest (and best) surprises of the year! From start to finish, "Ralph" never ceases to deliver enough fun for the younger audience and even succeeds in appealing to the older generation with nostalgic references and a rich, satisfying story. Being "bad" has never felt so "good" until you watch this movie.… Expand
Nov 15, 2012Great concept, pretty decent delivery.
Everything is videogame related with the exception of when you visit the candy game... from that point all the focus is on candy and how the candy can be made into story segments... I felt like it was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the videogame aspect disappeared. I fell asleep for about 10 minutes during the introduction to that universe, I was bored to death... then it went back into gaming comedy and I was hooked again. Great movie... really hope a sequel is made. Also... no Mario!?… Expand
Nov 15, 2012Pass. I right this review for adults that like animated films, like myself. This movie had a great concept, and the world was well defined in the first 20 minutes. After that, all your beloved classic video game characters disappear from the movie. I thought the movie was going really well up until the point where Wreck-It Ralph reach the candy racer video game. This is when the movie turned terrible. I don't think I smiled or laughed once for the next hour. I will however give them credit for the last 15 minutes of the movie, which was the best part. This movie had great potential, but most of it ended up being the same quality as Ice Age.… Expand
Nov 13, 2012I really enjoyed the look of the movie, and the 3D is good as well. The script, however was a little weak. I loved the originality of the story, but it simply wasn't funny enough. Even the kids in the theater weren't laughing all that much. I was also a little disappointed that Ralph didn't visit more games. The previews made it look like he was a rogue character that escaped from his game and went to others, but he only visited two other games and most of the movie took place in the Candy game. That's where the movie got a little too routine for me. Still, it was entertaining enough to give it a pass. Not one of Disney's best movies, and certainly not in the league of "Tangled".… Expand
Nov 13, 2012The movie was great. I thought the storyline was well done and the references were spot on. It was funny, witty and something that I will definitely buy on Blu Ray.
Nov 12, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played lots of games at a younger age and not nearly so much now as I am crazy consumed with work and school but, having said all of that, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie! I just saw it last night (11/11) and it was even better than I had anticipated. Loved the reminiscing I got from seeing some of my favorite characters like Storm from Mortal Combat. But, the movie was also very much for adults since the language wasn't totally geared towards tweens which made it even more enjoyable and took away any feeling that I was too old to watch it. I think it's one of the best animated Disney movies (very comparable to Pixar) produced in a long time!… Expand
Nov 9, 2012Saw this movie a week after release with my girlfriend. Us both being gamers and suckers for anything that reminded us of our youth. we saw this movie expecting greatness, and what we got was better then that. If you love video games with a religious passion then this movie will make you cry tears of joy at every moment of it (ad we did). the animation, sound, voice actors and plot are all completely solid. i have no complaints about this movie and would gladly watch it again for double the price.… Expand
Nov 9, 2012This film is one of my best of the year. First, because of the retro references like Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros, Sonic and especially Fix-It Felix. Secondly, the film will appeal to children who love animated films, as well as old people are nostalgic for their old video games. And finally, the story is fun and active, there is not too cheesy love that Disney has accustomed us. This is one of the best if not the best Disney movie in the last five years, and perhaps even the last ten years. The characters are lovable and endearing, it attaches quickly to Ralph, Felix, Vanellope, Calhoun, etc.. Their stories are interesting because they are very different and original, allowing the writer to expand his ideas. Finally, this film and one of the best movies from 2012 to date, so I advice you, be with family or friends.… Expand
Nov 9, 2012This latest animation from Disney takes place in a world of video games. John C. Reilly voices the titlular character, who's frustrated with being the bad guy and escapes into other games to prove himself. The pacing never lags and the visuals are snappy and colorful. Supporting voices like Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer and Jane Lynch add personality. I never played video games, so some of the old game references were lost on me, but there weren't that many inside jokes for grown-ups. Kids should find this cute and sweet. BTW, there's a charming, but very grown up black and white animation that preceeds the feature.… Expand
Nov 8, 2012Finally a film (excluding Argo) that actually lives up to the hype. Wreck-It Ralph is pure fun entertainment. It'll have you laughing out loud, and it'll even have you tear up a bit. You really get a great feel for the characters. Disney did a very solid job with this movie. Great story, great characters, good fun, what more can you ask for? Wreck-It Ralph is definitely worth your time and your money. Good nostalgiac fun for all. 9/10… Expand
Nov 7, 2012I Loved This Movie! Possibly The Best Animated Movie Of 2012! Very Creative, Never A Dull Moment!
Love The Video-Game Style!
Nov 7, 2012As both a fan of animated movies and video games, this movie was a delight. I was impressed by the perfect level of cameos mixed with original content. The movie is filled with old arcade and 90s era video game references that will go over kids heads, however they will love the vivid characters, fun slapstick, and overly silly tone the film presents. Appealing for all ages it tells a fun and original story that I'm sure everyone will enjoy (even if you aren't a kid or obsessed with video games).… Expand
Nov 6, 2012If you are a gamer, and a gamer from the older generation, this movie is for you. All the little tidbits from the Konami code to Zangief's underwear paired with the overall tender story make this movie hilarious and extremely entertaining. In no other film will you see Dr Robotnik, Bison, and Bowser sitting in a support group while Ken and Ryu hit up Tapper's after a long day of work. Innovative, interesting, and of course the movie discusses the general issues surrounding the video game industry in a poignant way. Highly recommended for children and adults alike.… Expand
Nov 5, 2012Anyone that gives it a 10 was pair to do so or have been heavily warped. This movie is presented in a nice way like chocolate coated crap.
Movie should have a Content advisory for plenty of reasons. This movie is more targeted to adults than kids to attract the adults to take the kids. It
Nov 5, 2012Who knew Sarah Silverman could be so cute? I thought Ralph was voiced by Seth Rogen at first but John Reilly does great. Jane Lynch delivers too in a subplot that got the younger viewers barfing. The conversation between Vanellope and Ralph about Hero's Duty got me spitting pop and popcorn. And it wouldn't be a Disney movie without a little tear-jerker of a message. The kids will love it.
Nov 4, 2012Cool and retro. Nice gags and has a great message. Not the best but very good. Why do they make so many wonderful animated movies these days but cannot get live action to get this good vibe to them. Wait for the end of the credits to see the Disney kill screen!
Nov 4, 2012WOW!, Wreck-It Ralph is one of the most amazing movies that I have the oportunity to watch this year. The story can sounds simple, but the magic of the movie start when you watching the cameos of all the famous characters that we know. The animation is really incredible, is like watch much movies in one. The screenplay can be the weak point of the movie, but don't have much importance when you watch a funny show, and Wreck-It Ralph is one of the most funny "shows" of this year. Amazing movie.… Expand
Nov 4, 2012Wreck-It Ralph is a fun movie for all ages, and even more-so if you're a fan of video games. While it's not the best movie to use video games as a subject, it does well in incorporating references and nostalgic tidbits of games both new and old. My only complaint is the way the movie was advertised. Trailers, sneak-peeks and even cast interviews claim that Wreck-It Ralph is about a character who "jumps" between a number of different video games. Yes, it was there, but he only went to three: his own, a Halo-like shooter, and a Candy Land-esque racing game where the majority of the film takes place. This is quite upsetting, due to the fact that I, like many others, expected Ralph to "jump" to many different games. I don't think this movie was as good as it should of been. The first third of the film is surprisingly fun, refreshing and exciting. But it starts to slow down, and things seem to just stop. The video game references stop, the excitement isn't there, and good ole' Disney magic kicks in with a generic plot and the same generic problems we've seen over and over. To sum it all up, Wreck-It Ralph is 1/2 video game referencing fun, and 1/2 a Disney movie. If ANYONE else made Wreck-It Ralph, it could have been a blast. But, Disney's kid-oriented restrictions kept a lot of fun at bay. I'm disappointed that this wasn't what it could have been, but, it's still a good movie.… Expand
Nov 4, 2012One of the best Movies I have seen in a long times, especially coming from the Disney Animation studio. If you're a video game fan, prepare to at least see the movie twice, or get it on DVD as it is loaded with cameos and Easter eggs. While the story is Disney typical, it respects the video games and even makes fun of itself in the process yet never straying too far from its roots.
I'm going to go see it again.… Expand
Nov 4, 2012If you ask me, this is great enough to be a pixar film. Its the most fun i've had with an animated film since "Toy Story 3". If you were one of many who were dissappointed by "Brave", then check this out. It has the charm and great characters of a Pixar movie, coupled with some great humor that seems to take inspiration from Dreamworks Animation. At first, the title character Ralph seems mean-spirited, but he later turns out to be a great hero. Older viewers will recognize the games shown and feel the nostalgia, and younger viewers will appreciate the colorful animation. But what older and younger viewers can agree on is that Wreck-it Ralph's storytelling and emotion is top notch.… Expand
Nov 4, 2012It's a movie by gamers for gamers, and easily the best video game movie ever made. Disney adds polish, flair, and wit throughout the entire movie. There will be numerous references that will ignite memories and the hearts of every gamer. Ralph and Vanelope are likable characters and their journey is a heartfelt one with much purpose. The visuals are fantastic, it really shows how far animation has come, as has gaming. Wreck-It Ralph touches on every genre of game, new and old, it's the perfect tribute and a hilarious movie, balancing out in every area.… Expand
Feb 4, 2013A "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" for the joystick generation that, despite a mid-act dip into generic Disney territory, high-scores on laughs, invention and 8-bit affection.
Jan 21, 2013A Disney flick that feels like on-form Pixar, blending knowing humour and sophistication with a large helping of heart. You'll want another go.

B-khata (provisional khata) owners can now heave a sigh of relief. The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) announced it would start collecting improvement charges to issue permanent khata from Monday.
Commissioner Siddaiah issued a circular and directed officials of the BBMP's Revenue Department to collect the improvement charges from residents.
The order has been issued in anticipation of the amendment to the Karnataka Land Revenue Act and framing of rules.
By paying the requisite charges, site owners who only have B-khata can obtain a permanent khata, which will help them avail of loans and get their building plans approved by the BBMP.
The BBMP had stopped issuing khata to sites in layouts which had been formed without land conversion and approval from the competent planning authorities, such as Bangalore Development Authority, Bangalore Metropolitan Region Development Authority (BMRDA) and Bangalore International Airport Area Planning Authority (BIAAPA).
Seven categories
Seven categories of properties have been identified for collection of improvement charges, including layouts developed on converted revenue land, BDA approved layouts on converted revenue land, properties on land converted for non-agricultural purposes (wherever development has been approved as per Master Plan 2015 by the competent planning authorities), layouts developed by KIADB, KSSIDC, KHB and not yet handed over to BBMP, land acquired by KIADB for single industrial units, properties legalised as per section 94( C) of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act and properties re-conveyed by BDA. Sources said circulars were issued during November and December 2007, authorising the civic authority to collect improvement charges. It was dropped after the decision was challenged in court. In 2008, the High Court ordered that rules be framed for collection. The rules were drafted in 2009, during the administrator's period. These rules were approved by the Government on February 3, 2010. The improvement charges were approved by the BBMP Council on December 29, 2010.
The sources said that the circular has been issued with an intention to improve the BBMP's financial position and provide basic civic amenities to the revenue pockets. Residents can pay as per the rate fixed by the BBMP.

Council hears title bureau considered on west side
11/28/2013 - South Side Leader
DOWNTOWN AKRON — The Summit County Clerk of Courts Office is considering opening a title office branch on the west side.
Summit County Council heard about the idea during Clerk of Court Daniel Horrigan's budget presentation Nov. 25.
He first mentioned the possibility of opening an office in Fairlawn, but then said it could be anywhere on the west side.
"We're looking at west-side locations, but there are some economic realities we have to face," he said.
Currently, in addition to the main office on Tallmadge Avenue, the clerk has branch title offices in Northfield and Green.
Horrigan said he is looking at the cost per square foot, which he said is higher in the Fairlawn area. He added he has also talked with the deputy registrar at the Fairlawn Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) about collaborating. That office is located in a shopping center at the intersection of Miller Road and West Market Street.
"We just want a good location that is accessible for everyone," Horrigan said.
In other business, Finance and Budget Director Brian Nelsen gave his monthly update on the county's finances. Among the highlights are the county's sales tax collections, which are up 4.71 percent over last year. This is the fourth year in a row for growth in sales tax numbers, he said.
Also, revenue from property transfer taxes is up 13.84 percent from a year ago.
He added that local government funding from the state continues to be a challenge. In addition, the real estate market did show improvement this year, but he noted that it has slowed down since summer.
Nelsen said when the year concludes, he projects revenues will be $100.3 million and expenses will be $100.9 million, meaning the county will need to use about $600,000 in reserves, which is less than he had originally projected for the year.
Looking ahead, Nelsen said next year he is projecting an increase in the amount of reserves needed due to health care increases and employee raises. In 2015, a 27th pay period also will mean the county will have to rely on reserves.
During the meeting that followed, Council adopted the 2014 full operating budgets for the Children Services Board; the Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board; and Developmental Disabilities Board, which are the county's levy-funded agencies.
In addition, Council adopted on first reading a resolution regarding the county's natural gas aggregation program. Buckeye Energy Brokers conducted a request for proposals for the program and found the best rate is from Constellation Energy.
Jason Dodson, chief of staff for County Executive Russ Pry, said the county plans to move forward on a 20-month contract with a fixed price of around $4.17 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf). The county's current rate is $5.393/Mcf with Direct Energy, which chose not to submit a bid.
The communities of Bath, Boston, Coventry, Copley, Richfield and Springfield participate in the program, according to the legislation.
Also during the meeting, Council adopted:
- a resolution confirming an award of a five-year contract for legal advertising of sheriff's sales and foreclosures with the Akron Legal News, with two five-year options to renew, by a vote of 10-1, with Councilman Frank Comunale (D-District 4) voting no;
- a resolution declaring Nov. 30 as Small Business Saturday in Summit County, and encouraging citizens to support local small businesses for their holiday shopping; and
- a motion to cancel the Dec. 9 regular meeting and reschedule it for Dec. 10 at 4:30 p.m. due to the swearing in of Councilman Nick Kostandaras (D-District 1) as president of the County Commissioners Association of Ohio. The meeting is the final one for the year.
County Council will meet for committee meetings Dec. 2 at 4:30 p.m. in Council Chambers on the seventh floor of the Ohio Building, located at 175 S. Main St.

Guest commentary: Stephany Carr
By Stephany Carr
This is in response to the guest commentary by Alan Keller, Ph.D, published on Jan. 27.
He cites:
"As for bankruptcies, studies consistently implicate medical costs as a major factor in knocking lower- and middle-class families into severe economic difficulties, including bankruptcy."
I am consistently outraged when people who rarely, if ever, have been in bankruptcy court cite "studies" regarding bankruptcy.
In over 20 years of practicing bankruptcy law, I have had one case in which primary reason for filing the bankruptcy was medical costs. This family had insurance, however their baby almost died. Their insurance did not cover catastrophic events.
While some medical expenses may be involved, I have observed most people who file bankruptcy have been recently divorced, lost their job, and/or made irresponsible financial choices.
Since 2006, many of my consumer clients have filed bankruptcy because of banks and credit unions pursuing them for deficiency judgments. I did not understand why banks and credit unions would foreclose on people who were offering to pay the entire mortgage, plus interest and other costs.
I learned that government-backed programs were paying banks and credit unions to foreclose on the mortgages. While banks and credit unions are required by law to have a "Loss Mitigation Department", the Loss Mitigation Departments are form over substance. They do not mitigate much loss.
Why would they? As I explain to my clients, tax dollars are paying banks and credit unions for the foreclosed mortgages. The banks and credit unions can pursue deficiency judgments, keep what they have already received and sell the foreclosed property.
People proclaiming to be "experts" should stick to their fields of expertise.

"I included a photo of my husband and me at our wedding and another 50 years later. The quality of the paper made the photos clear and crisp. Being able to customize the words made it easy to have a greeting wishing a merry Christmas, as well as including a phrase about us celebrating our 50th Christmas together. I was very pleased with the design I chose and the quality of the card. I was also happy the envelopes provided are rectangular so I don't have to pay extra postage for the square card."
"I'm so happy with my cards! I can't wait to send them to all my friends and family. I got exactly what I thought I as getting and even better!"
"I love the ability to create my own Christmas card. There are so many wonderful templates but this on was my favorite and aligned beautifully with my image."
"This card is lovely and we enjoyed that you could change it from Christmas to Holidays to be more inclusive. We chose the light brown colour but the green looks great too. Loved the addition of stars on the image area-it made it look more unified. I would recommend using a black marker for the back since it does have a print. I tried using metallics (i.e., bronze and silver) but it faded into the background too much."
"I was nervous ordering my cards because you never know if the picture will different once printed but I cannot begin to tell you how HAPPY I was to see how beautiful the card was. The picture, writing and color was perfect. I cannot wait to mail them out to my friends and family. They were exactly what I wanted!! Thank you for the wonderful order!"

Negative: 0 out of 28
A film that must be seen to understand the sad truths of our times. It's been made with a sensitivity and creativity that's come to exemplify Winterbottom's work.
The Road to Guantanamo is a missed opportunity. This is a subject that deserves a more thoughtful documentary or docudrama, not a hastily thrown together amalgam of the two.
At the risk of retreating into Waffle House aesthetic relativism, I think the unsettling power of Michael Winterbottom and Mat Whitecross' film stems from its contradictions.
Nightmarish scenes are intercut with interviews with the real men. These could be more probing, and the film's urgency can tilt toward shrillness, but nobody else has made the disaster of Guantánamo so painfully vivid.
The film is compelling to the extent that the subject is, but also unimaginative and unsurprising.

FantasyJun 28, 2006A masterpiece of both style & techique. Winterbottom's film is biased to the left, of course, but don't let that offend you. He's onto something deeper in this deeply unsettling, absolutely mesmerizing work. Winterbottom brings punk chick to the partisan documentary. His shaky camera, untrained actors, and real locations puts us right in the argument. We've all seen talking heads onscreen before, here we have no such luck...so much the better.… Expand
JustinS.Jul 13, 2006I'm a little confused about which parts are reenacted. Were the scenes in Guantanamo based on their memories? If not, who filmed what was going on and how did they get the tapes off the base? I agree that the scenes of the trip to Kandahar and the flashbacks seemed superfluous. Even though they have no good explanation of why they went to Afghanistan, their treatment while in custody is inexcusable. If this movie is accurate, many of the allegations against the US are true; abuse of prisoners, forcing prisoner into stress positions for hours, exposure to the elements, threats with vicious dogs, exposure to loud music and flashing lights while in solitary confinement, preventing the prisoners from religious worship, even desecrating the Qur'an. I pretty sure most, if not alk, of this is a violation of the prisoners' human rights. If all this is true, then I am ashamed to be an American and disgusted with the people in uniform and the leaders who represent this country. I don't believe for one second that the soldiers shown abusing the three men are just rogues.… Expand
MartinA.Jul 2, 2006The fictional reenactment of the trip to Kandahar may be the weak point of this "documentary", while the flashbacks to "happy occidental times" is the low point. There was no need to make these guys more likeable, more occidental (the Gap shirt, to some level the language), or more "clean". That's not the point. The subject is strong enough by itself. Even if these men were going to fight for Afghanistan - and not seek a giant naan - does that legitimate Guantanamo?

JimG.Jul 23, 2006Another docudrama that, by its form, creates confusion between fact and opinion. Only toward the end is a narrator employed to fill in gaps and move the story forward. If I had to rate it on effectiveness in provoking thought, I give it an 8. But if I had to rate it on journalistic thoroughnessI give it a 4. Unfortunately, a question that isn't asked or answered is why young men who have been living in the west would dare venture from Pakistan into the war zone in Afghanistan for vacation within one month of September 11. While the answer to that question is irrelevant to how justice should be administered, the failure to address it simply plays into the hands of those on the right.… Expand
BobB.Dec 2, 2006Agree with Jim G. The film/whatever you want to call it feels incomplete, in a sense, and it just doesn't include much food for thought. I'm a liberal, and I dislike Bush, but I believe the directors of this film should've been thinking more along the lines of "Let's show what we know happened, and make the audience form their own opinions" instead of "Let's show what happened, and at the same time tell the audience what they should believe".… Expand

We review a lot of TVs here at CNET, but the list below represents only the best.
With picture quality that outdoes that of numerous more-expensive TVs, Vizio's E series likely represents the best value of 2014.
Excellent picture quality, well thought-out features and distinctive design make the Vizio M-Series seem like a much more expensive TV than it really is.
Despite great contrast and a market-busting price, the Vizio P series has too many picture quality flaws to claim the Holy Grail of 4K TV value.
The Vizio S5451W-C2's extra-large sound bar and surround speakers deliver standout surround sound, if you can live with the size.
Vizio's S4251w-B4 sports rear speakers for unparalleled home theater sonics from a sound bar, although it has some quirks.
The Vizio S4221w-C4 is an excellent budget sound bar, with great sound quality, an excellent remote, and built-in Bluetooth, but its design won't work in every setup.
The Vizio S2121w-D0 Sound Stand is cheap but not a good value, with quality that pales against the competition -- including Vizio's own sound bars.
The highly anticipated Vizio P series is among the cheapest 4K TVs available and delivers a very good picture, but flawed video processing prevents it from achieving its full potential.
The Vizio M-Series offers a potent combination of excellent design, decent picture quality, and a pocket-friendly price.
We really liked the picture quality-to-performance propositions of Vizio's 1080p resolution M-series and E-series TVs, and after going eyes-on with the new P-Series, shipping now, we expect great things.

Does Being First Still Matter In America?
Re:First in what? (246 comments)
There's a story told by one of the former directors of LANL about when he met his Russian counterpart after the end of the Cold War. The US nuclear weapons community kept being amazed at how to the Soviets could stay on par with them on bomb design, given that the Soviet computer industry was always a decade or so behind the US. The answer from the Russian physicist was something along the lines of "you compute, we think." Having been in the bowels of the US military industrial complex for the better part of the last decade, this is all to true in what's considered one of the smarter corners of it. So having the biggest digital dick may not be the smartest or the quickest way to get a better home-grown weather forecast. Scratch deep enough, and there's always a bit more stupid in the process that can be optimized away for much less cost (but with much less fanfare).

Wiki Headlines
18th Nov: We've switched servers and will be updating the old code over the next couple months, meaning that several things might break. Please report issues here.
main index
Randy is not dead and may return in a later filmHe is a far too popular and likeable character, and other fans have been pleading for him to come back. It could even be seen as a bit of Fridge Brilliance if the writer does ever decide to bring him back because the entire purpose of Scream 4 (the first in a new trilogy) is to subvert many events of the first film. For example:
Scream 4 had 3 killers, Judy was the 3rdThink about it, there's NO WAY Jill and Charlie could have done half those kills, they aren't strong enough. There's also a lot of times where it seems like they're both in other places Rebecca, where Jill is in the hospital and Charlie is with Robbie, Olivia, where the cops were pursuing Ghostface while she was being killed, and Kate, Hoss, and Perkins. Where Jill was with Kirby and Charlie was most likely with Robbie. It just doesn't add up! Add the fact that Judy was so incredibly CREEPY and you have a perfect 3rd killer!
The Scream films exist in the View Askewniverse, which is also the real worldHow else would the Jay and Silent Bob cameo in Scream 3 make any sense?
Scream 3 had 2 killers, Angelina was the second oneIt was in the original script, and she was pretty suspicious. Maybe Roman betrayed and killed her because he wanted to be the soul survivor, a plot point later employed in Scream 4.
Kirby and Robbie from Scream 4 survived their knife woundsThis troper is reluctantly adding this WMG because of how prevailant this theory is. So, OK, there is a possibility that both of them, or only one of them survived. It would be nice to have a couple of new recurring characters in future Scream movies besides the usual three.
Stu's motive was revenge for Casey dumping him for Steve
The true Ghostface is an old man who teaches teenagers how to become serial killers
Dewey and Gale will not appear in Scream 5
Scream 5 is going to have a blatant joke about sequel numbers
Dewey killed Stone The Bodyguard.Ok hear me out here. Though Stone had some defining moments like catching Gale eavesdropping and fighting Ghostface to the death, he was a complete and utter dick to Dewey, treating him with disrespect despite Dewey surviving twice up to the events of Scream 3. During his death scene, he was snooping around Dewey's trailer, and even stole pocket change from him while on the phone with presumably Dewey. To top it off, he made a remark about Dewey's sister's death which was seconds away from the killer's Kruger style one liner. ("That Makes me *Stab* ANGRY!!!) Last but not least, he approached the group and pointed at Dewey before collapsing dead. I am not saying Dewey was the killer for all of Scream 3, but he used the ensuing chaos to his advantage to get even with Stone.
Scream 5 is going to seemingly kill off Sidney, only to bring her back for the finale of Scream 6.Search your hearts, you know it to be awesome.
Ghostface really is a ghost.He possesses people and motivates them to kill. As for possessing multiple people at once, either he's one ghost that can split up or many ghosts that can form into one collective.
If Sidney is in the next movie, she is going to kill herselfSidney can't possibly stay sane after all of that.
Scream 5 really will involve Time Travel.One of the characters in Scream 4 mentioned that Stab 5 involved time travel, which is possible foreshadowing of the sequel. It won't be the standard time travel, though. Instead, we'll have flashbacks of Sidney's mom trying to escape from a killer (maybe Billy and Stu), and at the same time, have Sidney running from the same killer and trying to figure out his identity.
Ghostface as the Seven Deadly Sins
Stuis still alive. He was electrocuted I know, but take horror movie physics away and you got the odds of surviving an electrocution. Not to mention after the TV stopped shocking him he made a moan before passing out. It sounded like a faint sign of life.
The entire Scream universe horror follows movie rules in a cosmic setting.This isn't just to be one step ahead of the killer, this universe is cursed to live as an eternal horror movie. This not only includes the rules Randy and others mentioned throughout the films but ones they never mentioned: 1. As long as the heroine/scream queen lives, someone will always try to kill her. 2. Every killer has to wear the titular costume. 3. No matter what their motive is, it will always lead back to why the Heroine has to die in order for them to succeed. 4. If there is more than one killer throughout the series, they will always pay tribute to their predecessor while adding their own style to the mix. 5. No matter how much the Heroine succeeds, she will always lose someone, or something she cares about. 6. Only the scream queen can kill the killer. While these rules are mostly set in stone, the characters on both the protagonist and antagonist ends of the curve strive to change them in some way. Such as Sidney surviving despite not being a virgin.
Billy Loomiswill return in the fifth movie. Not via ressurection, but by some bizzare way, he survived getting shot in the head (I looked it up, it's possible to some degree, like if the bullet is stuck in the skull). All new characters will be Red Heerings like in the previous films, making The Reveal much more surprising. He will express disgust on how horror is all the same now, and is trying to take it back to it's classic roots saying somthing along the lines of "You can't kill the classics" and "The best always come back".
The next one will have...Sid, Dewey and Gale armed to the teeth waiting for the next killer to show up. They blow him/her away and the rest of the movie would focus on Maureen's life while adding new things to make it seem like Ghostface was around before Sidney.
Dewey is Unbreakable.Think about the sort of punishment he goes through throughout the series only to escape with little or no lasting effect. Even his limp from a 'severed nerve' is convientiently invisible and vague enough to be psychosomatic, a sympton he convinced himself he had, because a full recovery within months would be so implausible.

Library patrons accustomed to thinking that quilts are found only on beds may be surprised to see the quilts hanging on the 5th Floor of the library. These art quilts, created by members of the group Contemporary Quilt and Fiber Artists, range from very small to very large and reveal each artist's unique approach to thinking about the environment.
In connection with Earth Day, a program at the library on April 17th will discuss the art quilt techniques used to create these quilts. The program will be followed by an artist reception. Music will be provided by renowned Bay Area jazz musicians, including Wally Schnalle and Jeff Massanari.
This is a Green Stacks program. Support provided by the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library.

Falling Brent crude oil prices has once again lowered the projected average price for diesel in 2014. The U.S. Energy Department's Energy Information Administration's new Short-Term Energy Outlook expects diesel fuel prices, which averaged $3.97 per gallon in 2012, are projected to average $3.91 per gallon in 2013 and $3.73 per gallon in 2014.
Brent crude oil spot prices fell from a monthly average of $112 per barrel in September 2013 to an average of $109 per barrel during October. EIA expects the Brent crude oil price to continue to weaken as non-OPEC supply growth exceeds growth in world consumption. The Brent crude oil price is projected to average $106 per barrel by December 2013 and $103 per barrel in 2014.
The forecast WTI crude oil spot price, which averaged $106 per barrel during September, fell to an average of $101 per barrel in October. EIA expects that WTI crude oil prices will average $97 per barrel during the fourth quarter of 2013 and $95 per barrel during 2014.
