[@blazaybla22]

@@missandry420 It definitely seems like someone who had a very passing familiarity with /b/ just incorporated it into his hackjob script as a gimmick. Actually 4chan (or /b/ specifically) tried to destroy this movie lol (posting gore and porn anywhere it was being discussed, of course doxing the director and death threats, review bombing - not like the movie even needed it - etc). I think it was basically 4chan taking offense to "cultural appropriation" even if they'd never put it that way themselves. Maybe if the director had lurked around /x/ a bit more, he could have stolen some lesser-known horror tropes instead of brazenly ripping off some of the most iconic horror movies of the 80s and 90s

''mental retardation'' was a clinical term, ''retard'' kinda means delayed or held back, but now thats just not what comes to mind when you hear it or see it anymore. Its really interesting that retard actually got a widespread response, tho I dont think well see huge change in this pattern of yoinking clinical terms.

It was a crazy different time in that, with the internet still being relatively new (kinda) people just felt so much more comfortable with doing genuinely terrible stuff because they knew that, for the most part, there would be no repercussions.

College syllabi are A. industry standard and B. helpful because, like, in college I was still in the habit of using a planner like in high school, so I would just copy down assignments months in advance for classes, so I didn't have to remember to write the homework down every day classes met. Also yeah, if you're a fast reader, a syllabus can allow you to read ahead in terms of assigned reading, in case later on you're too swamped with other stuff to keep up (reading from a textbook, I mean; that doesn't work for stuff like lit seminars where everyone has to be the same level of caught up on the book for class discussions, obviously).

They had all the elements to make a good story out of their backstory scraps. The main girl should have been haunted by smiley after her mother's death. She could see him everywhere, lurking in the shadows - real or on the web-, so much so that she escalates the visits to her psychiatrist. The side characters, being jerk to her, would get picked of one by one by smiley. Then, at the end, you reveal that she's been Smiley all along and it was a form of extreme control for her, tendency that had been shown all through out the movie.

[@Mx_Phoenix]

That's a cool idea. Also maybe adding something along the lines of her being depressed after her mother's death, but being told to "keep smiling," either by herself or a bad therapist/whoever. So she's like "Yeah, I'll keep smiling, alright." I'm not trying too hard, but I think we both put more thought and effort into the movie than the writers did. 😂

[@chupaxf]

Or if they wanted to keep the “gang of sadistic teens” ending: she hears the urban legend about smiley and starts to see him everywhere after her mother’s death. She goes to some college parties and tries to be friends with her new roommate, but she’s so awkward that she keeps messing up - maybe she accidentally hits on the roommate’s boyfriend or rejects the nice guy SD character, and ends up kind of isolated. Then smiley starts actually killing people and the main girl can’t decide if she’s going nuts or if he’s been real all along. She steps up visits to her psychiatrist and almost gets admitted to the psych ward again, but then decides that her class on quantum physics/tulpas/philosophy/wtf that class in the movie was supposed to be has made her delusional and that smiley is the product of those delusions. Then at the end smiley comes to kill her and she jumps out the window, and plot twist! It turns out her roommate or the nice guy is the child of her psychiatrist and somehow learned about her smiley delusion, and decided to dress up as the character and terrify her IRL as revenge for whatever she did to them. Alternate ending: the evil teens freak her out so much that she snaps and kills one of them, and it all ends in tragedy with this person dead and her going to a forensic psych hospital for murder.

I remember being such a huge fan of him when I was 13 and wanted to see this movie so badly. I’m so glad I grew up and realized how bad of a person he is.

Having a disorder that causes me to gain and hold weight I hated myself. I’m not in the best place but I’m a much better person without his videos and racism and much more in my life.

"Someone curled her hair in between these two scenes" as someone who's been on a TON of sets, MOST movies are shot painfully out of order, for budgets sake, and for space rental's sake. To me it makes NO sense. I've watched tons of films develop in which we shot the first scene, last, and I always wonder why, as most EVERY relationship, scenario, plot etc that unfolds would do so more naturally had the film been shot in order...I get it, you've only rented a space for a few days/weeks and can't go back, so have to knock out every scene that is to happen in said space. But it's so unnatural for cast and crew. Like this example, where they clearly shot the walking-to-party scene on a completely different day than the at-party scene, and continuity was COMPLETELY lost in that transition.

[@isaacs8783]

I dont have your experience but I assume it's cause they either didnt have a script supervisor or they did but they didn't bother to point it out

High budget production movies do things like take pictures of the actors hair in scenes and then redo it the same way when they wanna go back to that scene.

One thing that really annoys me about the plot of the movie is how the protag is the only one entertaining the idea that these murders might be real.

They said the friend is missing but still dismiss the idea entirely. It feels unrealistic and the villains acting more like they're actually on her side would probably work more for the twist.
