Talk:Scary Movie 4

message: I am perturbed about the number of posters on this page.  As posters can be used under fair use, adding multiple posters will only weaken any fair use claims.  We need only one for commentary purposes.  So let's just please choose one that best suits the article and IFD the rest, ok? Any questions, comments or concerns should be listed here on this page and not at my talk page.  Thanks! -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 03:09, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I went ahead and removed two of the posters from the page, leaving the one that was first added.  If any concerns arise because of this, add them to this talk page.  Thanks! -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 03:27, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Didn't Brenda die in Scary Movie 3?
Yes Brenda did die in Scary movie 3 but since she also died in the orginal scary movie I think we can rubbish all plot continuity. Jamesbuc.
Something like this:
Cindy: Brenda?  I thought you were dead.
Brenda: Ah, I thought you were dead too.
And then it's never brought up again.Eric Sieck 04:14, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the whole point of this film is meant as parody, it can be safely assumed that no continuity exists within the film itself, or is associated within the film. An example of this would be a character's shirt becoming wet, but a few seconds later their shirt is dry. --166.102.104.84 04:05, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

message: There are far too many pictures in this article with many of them not really representative of any of the themes of the movie. I'm going to cull some of them. Garglebutt / (talk) 01:39, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pictures 

message: I'm concerned about the story section. It reads like a scene by scene synopsis which seems rather extreme. I'm inclined to take an axe to it but not sure where to start. Garglebutt / (talk) 01:39, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's what happens when you outlaw scary movie entries on Wikipedia. When scary movie entries are outlawed, only hyperactive kids will have scary movie entries. Or something like that, I really don't know, and I'm far too drunk to care. --166.102.104.83 07:15, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

message: David Zucker was on Dr. Phil today, and I was watching the ending and he offered a guest (I forgot who) a walk-on speaking role in Scary Movie 5. So I guess you can count that as official. Mshake3 21:57, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Removed him from the cast listing- I don't see him credited anywhere on any other site. If he was, in fact, in the movie, please reference this.-RomeW 09:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I will add, since he was placed back in the cast listing, that I *have* seen the movie and I didn't see him once. I also remember no Redeye spoof.-RomeW 20:11, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Mini-Spoofs?

message: This was in the trivia: "This is the first time that Michael Madsen acted a strange character." I removed it, because it is badly worded, and "strange character" is subjective. Actually, it just plain doesn't make sense. --68.149.181.145 07:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Why does it say that? He just plays a dim-witted president. Now if they had made him do something that Bush did, then yes I suppose it would but I didn't notice anything.
:He is spoofing Bush because he is shown in a classroom while a book is being read, like Bush on September 11. Cbrown1023
::This is not a random spoof. It is a spoof of Farenheit 9/11, one of Michael Moore's documentaries which is criticising Bush. Although I must admit I'm rather surprised as to why no one found that out earlier, seeing as its quite obvious. --218.186.8.12 13:42, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Baxter spoofing Bush?

message: Farenheit 9/11, a 2004 documentary by Michael Moore was a spoof here. It involves "President Bush" reading a book in a Floridian classroom when told that "the nation is under attack". The clip of Scary Movie 4 is almost exactly in the same setting as that of Farenheit 9/11. Michael Moore has chosen to dramatise this situation by adding his own personal comments to the documentary and Scary Movie 4 has dramatised it further by Bush and the children spitting water at each other. --218.186.8.12 13:40, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Phil and Shaq 

message: While I understand that despite the similarity with HL2's striders, the triPods were actually a parody of War of the Worlds. However, in the scene where that guy stands with a shotgun and says "Follow me to safety" seems directly out of Half Life 2 ("We don't go to Ravenholm"). Is that right or is there another movie with a similar scene? -- Ynhockey (Talk) 21:24, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
