Crushable Quotable: What's Going On Between 'Scream's' Kevin Williamson and Bob Weinstein? Posted: 13 Apr 2011 10:59 AM PDT
It begins with the New York Times. In his article “Rrrring! Hello, Sidney? It's Happening Again!”, Jonah Weiner states that according to Williamson, Weinstein had “expressed an interest in revisiting Scream for the last ten years,” but that Williamson (writer of I Know What You Did Last Summer and creator of both Dawson’s Creek and The Vampire Diaries) was “unenthusiastic.” “Unenthusiastic” kind of sounds like a delicate way of saying “Fuck no, leave me alone,” but that would be putting words in people’s mouths, so let’s just take it for what it is: Williamson wasn’t interested in continuing. This alone would be grounds for some uncomfortableness, given that when someone keeps bugging you about something you yourself consider finished, it gets annoying. The trilogy was complete; end of story. Time to put away the Ghostface mask and move on. Suddenly, though, according to “Oh the Horror,” Entertainment Weekly’s feature on Scream 4 in this week’s issue, Williamson had a brainwave while on the set of The Vampire Diaries in 2009 and was ready to head back to Woodsboro– literally. A scrapped idea for the third film had involved Sidney going back to her hometown, which at the time of the film’s writing, didn’t seem like the right move. Now, though, ten years later? Perfect. Says Williamson, “After I pitched the first scene, [Weinstein] stopped listening and was just like, ‘Write it, write it, write it.” Weinstein, for his part, was “incredibly excited,” and said it was “worth the wait.” By March 2010, the project had been greenlit, but things weren’t going as smoothly as everyone had hoped: EW reports that Williamson and Weinstein hadn’t yet come to an agreement on the script. Williamson manages to spin it positively, telling EW that “Everyone was second-guessing everything, because everyone wanted it to be so perfect.” After months of escalation, though, things came to a head. Says Williamson: “Oh, I got in a big fight with Bob. We got into a massive fight creatively.” There’s a more in-depth interview with the screenwriter on EW’s website– the interview from which they gathered the sound bytes for the article in the print publication– that elaborates on this fight, wherein Williamson goes on to say that it was mostly about deadlines: “Contractually, I had signed on to do The Vampire Diaries. You know, the little thing called first and second position? I was in first position to do Vampire Diaries and second position to do Scream 4. So guess what? It was a contractual thing. Warner Bros called up and they said, ‘Dude where are you? You have a show that's on the air — where are you?’ I did double duty as much as I could but The Vampire Diaries was also very important to me.” And so Williamson left the project, and Weinstein brought in Ehren Kruger, who had previously penned the third Scream film based on Williamson’s story idea, to finish the script. Ouch. Post from: Crushable Crushable Quotable: What's Going On Between 'Scream's' Kevin Williamson and Bob Weinstein? |

Video Proof That Internet Memes Don't Attract Girls Posted: 13 Apr 2011 09:58 AM PDT
Considering that the memes are aimed at guys (“Cool story, bro”), set the guys up as social rejects (Forever Alone and fapfapfapfap), and are intended to provoke rage (LOL U MAD?), it’s a wonder they don’t get slapped in the face. Surprisingly, they get a handful of numbers. But from the looks of this video, the girls don’t even get the references in the first place — except for when he reads “Friday” as a romantic ballad, because come on.

Drew Barrymore, Scream The most famous opening; even after the movies have become campy, this one still terrifies. We haven’t seen anything like this before, the combination of the killer’s taunts plus the popcorn amps up the tension, and it’s so brutal. My boyfriend hates horror movies, and I still made him watch the first ten minutes when it was playing on TV. Best cameo ever. Parker Posey, Scream 3 Posey, skilled at lampooning Hollywood and actors, plays Jennifer Jolie, an actress portraying Gale’s on-screen persona in Stab 3. But when the killer returns and starts picking off cast members in the order in which they die in the Stab script, Jolie gets chased around the director’s mansion and stabbed to death. The creepiest part is, it’s behind a two-way mirror, so all Dewey sees is the mirror warping from her pounding her fists.

Crushable Quotable: Gwyneth Paltrow's Biggest Problem Is Being Too Perfect Posted: 13 Apr 2011 10:16 AM PDT
Here’s the thing, Gwynnie. Perfectionism means that you want everything to be perfect. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Sure, if that perfectionism paralyzes you and makes you unable to do anything out of fear that you’ll make a mistake, I’d buy your argument. But considering you still manage to star in movies and write GOOP and get six-figure record deals and find time in your schedule to give sanctimonious interviews in which you claim to be a normal working mother who just so happens to have a staff of ten attending to your every need, I don’t think perfectionism is your problem. You probably have an assistant whose sole responsibility is to think all your negative thoughts for you so that you can devote your own luxury brain cells to bunny rabbits and juice cleanses. Remember when Ashley Judd said that she went to rehab for being a perfectionist? Maybe you guys should hang out. I’m sure she’d be happy to provide some tips for where to get a $6,000 book of inspirational quotes that will totally cure perfectionism.

Are Leah Messer and Corey Simms Getting Divorced? Posted: 13 Apr 2011 08:50 AM PDT
I really hope that this story isn’t true. I know I shouldn’t buy into a heavily edited TV show, but it seemed to me like Leah and Corey really loved each other and wanted their relationship to work. Post from: Crushable Are Leah Messer and Corey Simms Getting Divorced? |
The Daily Bieber: Justin Bieber Office War Posted: 13 Apr 2011 08:32 AM PDT This was always our favorite episode of The Office. FYI, if anyone in the Crushable office wants to do this with my computer, not only would I not file a formal complaint, I’d buy you a cupcake.

Snap This: Jennifer Lopez Is the Most Beautiful Woman In the World Posted: 13 Apr 2011 07:53 AM PDT
People does an annual “Most Beautiful People” issue, but J.Lo‘s publicist – or maybe American Idol‘s publicist – has decided to make it more of a contest with a winner instead of a package with a bunch of winners. This is great press for American Idol, although I personally think fellow judge Steven Tyler is a much more beautiful woman. The accompanying fluff piece about J.Lo is full of annoying quotes about how she loves being a mom and loves not wearing makeup. My favorite part is that her new album is called Love? That’s some “I’m Ron Burgundy?” level awesomeness right there. Post from: Crushable Snap This: Jennifer Lopez Is the Most Beautiful Woman In the World |
