The scene where Kirby spewed out the titles of about 25 remakes in the span of 30 seconds was cringe worthy.
Ha, I actually thought that part was pretty funny and was just poking fun at the bajillion horror remakes that have occurred over the recent years.
As for the movies, I really like the original and think the sequel is a pretty worthy installment (keep in mind that I was in high school when the first two movies came out, so some nostalgia may be tied into my feelings). The third one to me fell kind of flat and was my least favorite of the original three (not to mention that Courtney Cox's horrible bangs distracted me every scene she was in ). I liked Roman as the killer, but I thought the whole "I've been orchestrating this from the beginning" thing felt a little too ret-conned.
As for the fourth installment, I just got around to watching it last week and thought it was decent...not as good as the first two, but better than the third one. I think it did a good job of introducing new younger characters while still having the original main characters involved. And not sure if I should post a spoiler warning since the movie has been out for a while now (and those who wanted to see it probably already have) but what the hell: *SPOILERS BELOW*
I thought the reveal of Jill as the killer was a decent twist, but Emma Roberts just didn't fully convince me in the psycho role. She just seemed like a cute girl doing her best to act like a crazed killer, rather than making me think "man, this girl is batshit insane."

Just viewed this last week. Truly thought it wasn't that bad. If not for the 2 kill scenes they fucked up by tryin to make them funny, this was a nice romp.
