Miss Joan Benater & Pat Jett reveal SCARY MOVIE 2 warts and all

Published at:  Jun 06, 2001 4:54:24 AM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here... San Diego was the recent abode for a SCARY MOVIE 2 screening... The film seems to be a bit of a hit and miss trip right now, but... This is very early in the testing process... and comedies... specifically 'gag' comedies are extremely aided by the testing process to find the duds and the gasp out loud funny as hell moments... and to then edit out the duds or figure out something better to put in there. Comedy is all in the timing and this screening has a lot to do with working that timing out... But for now... here's how the film played out.... Beware of Spoilers...




Dear Harry:

Tonight, Miss Joan Benater and Pat Jett were in the house, the Haunted Scary
and Wonderful House of the TEST SCREENING! Ooooh Scary, I must say..SCARY
MOVIE 2, that is.....First off, the whole process of sneaking into a Test
Screening is Nerve Racking...Oh Shit, especially when the suits look at you
directly in the eye and ask you if you ever get on the Internet and read or
post reviews..."Oh No" Miss Benater replied " I don't even own a computer, I
am still living down in the prarie with Laura Ingalls and folk" Me, Queen
Jett just shrugged "No I am florist" Hee Hee....

In what had to be the most diverse audience since Save the Last Dance on
opening night, I sat quietly down in the middle row with Miss Benater and
anticipated sheer moments of PURE RAUNCH, GROSS OUT HUMOR, and More
Shenanigans from the same people who brought us the original Scary Movie. We
were then told, this is a video print, temp track, yada yada start the
fucking movie already!! We see the infamous Dimension Film logo...for some
reason I always expect a phone to ring and hear Drew's cute voice say hello
everytime I see that logo.

Then all of a sudden we are thrusted into a scene with a bunch of older
folks singing around a piano......Great, I thought to myself, Here comes the
wicked opening scene...Then all of a sudden something really hysterical
happens around the piano ( I am not going to spoil it for you ), Then Bam
out of nowhere appears Natasha Lyonne in a nightgown all done up looking
like Linda Blair, she walks over to her mom and friends at the piano and I
Immediately pysched myself for a Scary Movie Skewering of The
Exorcist...Natasha Lyonne who plays Jasonia Voorhees aka Regan, stands there
legs spread... and if you guys all remember the piano scene from the
Exorcist, you just wait and see what happens from this point. A cab then
pulls up, out comes the priest, the knock on the door, It's a bird, It's
Marlon Brando, no wait, the door opens...It's JAMES WOODS, Marlons
Replacement and Honey Child, all I can say is You have never seen James
Woods in a scene of literal Toilet Humor until you see the opening of Scary
Movie 2. I am glad Marlon Brando fell ill and passed on the part, because I
am not sure if I could have stomached what James Wood does next..Then comes
the Exorcism scene and it is pretty wicked let me just tell you, Expect what
you would expect from the creators of Scary Movie to parody what has to be
the most popular horror scene of all time. James Woods plays the Exorcist
like only James Wood can, but hold up, It's Andy Richter as Father Kerris in
one of the most explosive, lets just say, PUKE-GUSTING scenes ever captured
on film! Wait, did I hear a Stab at Jerri from Survivor? Wow! Collen may
have gotten licked in the face in the Animal but Jerri will live forever in
the opening of Scary Movie 2...then the title SCARY MOVIE 2...The parody
must go on!!!

Now I am going to let Miss Benater take over and tell you about the rest of
the movie, We both agreed on one thing. Scary Movie 2 Rocked and SUCKED at
the same time! Miss Benater seemed to not like it as much as I did, so here,
lets start with the negative shall we:

Hey all you crazy Internet junkie whore bitches out there! I am here to tell
you about the rest of Scary Movie 2 without spoiling all the fun. First up,
I loved, loved the first Scary Movie and to tell you the truth, I was
totally anticipating the 2nd one the most out of all the summer movies, but
while watching Scary Movie 2, I felt like I was watching pop culture movie
karoke and my brain kept trying to decipher, Okay, what movie are they doing
etc... Well to round them all up in a blender...Here is a list to give you a
idea of what to expect, if you want to be surprised then skip to the next
paragraph (yeah right you will)
THE HAUNTING, FINAL DESTINATION, THE CRYING GAME, GLADIATOR, CROUCHING
TIGER, PEARL HARBOR, EVEN BUBBLE GUM POP SINGER turned actress VITAMIN C
gets roasted. THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE, POLTERGIEST, MONICA LEWINSKYS
STAINED DRESS
CHARLIES ANGELS, THE WEAKEST LINK, SURVIVOR, THE CHANGELING, POLTERGEIST,
THE ENTITY
THE WEAKEST LINK, SURVIVOR, THE CHANGELING, POLTERGEIST, THE ENTITY,
NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, WHAT LIES BENEATH, TITANIC, THE HOLLOW MAN, MISSION
IMPOSSIBLE 2, HANNIBAL, AMERICAN PIE, PAULIE...YES PAULIE, THAT BIRD MOVIE!!
ON AND ON AND ON....
wait, isn't this movie suppose to be called SCARY MOVIE? Why are we poking
fun of other genres? A more appropriate title would have been DUMB MOVIE! I
think thats why I grew tired of the jokes fast because I felt like they were
trying to cram everything in this movie all at once, even a pot shot at
PEARL HARBOR at the end! It just did not work for me, I grew very tired of
the jokes quick, the plot, WHAT PLOT? We dont' go to see a movie like SCARY
MOVIE 2 for the plot honey, We go to see the PENISES AND SPERM, well maybe
not the guys but a sick bitch like me has to have her onscreen protein shake
and cockshots once in a great while even if it's in a raunchy comedy flick
like this one and yes there were plenty this time around..I kept trying to
repeat to myself "Darling, this is not Peter Greenaway, you are not going to
see Ewan Mcgregors huge scholng!..But from what I can even gather from the
lame plot is basically THE HAUNTING REMAKE, they all go to this haunted
house for a experiment lead by Tim Curry who is wasted here big time, He
should have just played FrankFurter and the movie would have been much more
fun! Scenes just went from one to another and none of it made any sense at
all, but I guess who really goes to a movie like this for a plot, BUT THE
MOVIE STILL MADE ME LAUGH MY ASS OFF, so I guess it can be called a guilty
pleasure somewhat. Its the kind of movie best watched on DVD, so you can
just show all your friends the best scenes and there were some classic
moments of FUCKED UP-NESS in this sequel. Chris Ellioit plays the freakiest
Caretaker, He was really disgusting and gross and wait till you see his left
hand. His left hand is a running joke that plays throughout the movie, He
has some classic lines and his character was really FREAKY and BIZARRE, I am
still not sure what to think about Chris Elliot after this one. I may have
nightmares about his left hand.

What didn't work was they put all these characters in a Haunted House Spoof
and no one really connected unlike the first movie. Tori Spelling had one
great scene but aside from that she and everyone were just there with
nothing really to do or say. NOTHING MADE SENSE IN THIS FILM! IT defiantly
felt like a RUSH JOB! I AM TALKING HURRY UP AND FILM THAT SHOT SO WE CAN GO
ON TO THE NEXT ONE! I understand they wanted to get this movie out this
summer and make the 4th of July Date, but Honestly, this movie could have
ROCKED a million times better had they waited till Halloween to release
this. I dunno, at this point, there is allot of work to be done, allot and I
hope by the 4th, We can all see a much better version. Okay I hate lingering
on the negative, LETS GET TO THE JIZZED FILLED JUICY PARTS SHALL WE?

The Charlies Angels Skit Rocked, Best scene in the movie! It was a visual
piece that the audience went nuts over, lets just say, remember the alley
scene when the girls lifted their legs...wait till you see what Keenen does.
Then we are subjected to one of the most raunchiest scenes in the film, Get
Ready folks, it's the Tori Spelling Entity Ghost Rape Scene. You thought
Barbra Hershey had it bad in the original film The Entity....
Yes, wait to you see what happens to someone who sleeps with her mouth
open. She turns the table on the ghost and it is a moment that perfectly
goes down in history as Tori Spelling getting raped by a ghost scene. I
wonder what Daddy Spelling thinks of his sweet Tori "Tori, I am cutting you
out of the will, you Sperm Burping Gutter Slut!!!"
The Raunch level is turned up high in this movie, I wonder what will make
the cut, or UNCUT! more Penises long ones, short ones, Dildos, Sperm, More
Sperm, frozen sperm, Scary Movie 2 does not hold back when it comes to the
Raunch, and for that, It SUCCEEDS where all the other Gross out Movie Fails.
But truthfully, I am soo burnt out on the whole Gross out Genre, I am afraid
this may be the last summer of Sperm in Cinema! The Reason the original
worked so well is because we were having fun with being shocked, but since
then, gee, shall I even mention the Freddy Got Fingered on his last Road
Trip stuff we had to wade thru? Please no more!

It just sucks that the movie felt very rushed but that is such a case of
Sequelitis. What did we expect right? Although Tori has a great sequence,
she is nothing but wallpaper in this movie, so are all the characters, this
is just a showcase to throw the audience HOW MANY MOVIES CAN WE SKEWER, but
still even though I was disappointed, aren't we all with most sequels? I
would still recommend this movie to all my friends and I cannot wait to see
the final special effects including a scene where a huge pot plant comes to
life and attacks Marlon Wayans.....There are allot of Pot Jokes in this
movie, along with the Potty Jokes. This was one weird bizarre sequel and
although it will open HUGE, I see a drop-off. Sorry Kids, It just isn't the
Scary Movie from Last Summer...Will you laugh your ass off yes? Will you
leave with a sour taste in your mouth? Yes! Will you ever look at a frozen
icicle the same? NO!

I am out of here, Miss Benater!

Oh yeah, Joan would like to say a few words..

Hey Kids, I am back, Don't listen to that crazy bitch Benater, she is out of
Paxel and Marlborough Lights...JUST GO SEE IT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ON THE 4th
OF JULY and just have fun. If you are expecting Scary Movie the original you
will be very disappointed. If you just want to be in a huge rowdy audience
laughing their asses off, you won't be disappointed. But just remember one
thing...Be a Rock Star and don't see this movie sober, you'll enjoy it allot
more!

    Male nudity in movies

    by shalamar

    Didja ever notice that male nudity in movies is mostly played for laughs or to get a "Whoah! What the hell was THAT?" reaction from the audience? I'm thinking in particular of the "I KNOW!" Polaroid photo from the first "Scary Movie", and the full-frontal shot of Kevin Bacon in the shower in "Wild Things". Dunno if I"m going to see this movie, but it was kinda fun to read a review that balances out all those "We get to see Halle Berry nekkid in 'Swordfish', heh-heh-heh" comments.

Oh, and I can't believe that any of you think this writer is actually a woman... The poster above is correct about the historical correlation between on-screen male nudity and comedy. However, even when it is not intentionally used for comedy male nudity usually provokes laughter. Perhaps this is due to a mixture of shock, uncomfortability, repressed feelings of inadequacy, shame, desire, homophobia, etc. Whatever it is, I think it's time we got over that. It's just a body part. Butts, on the other hand, are friggin' hilarious. They make poop AND farts!

    Scary Movie 1 was terrible

    by miss aura

    I hope this movie is nothing like Scary Movie 1, it was the most predictable shit I have ever seen.
    The Wayans Brothers should stick to stuff like "I'm gonna get you sucka" which was good. Everyone tries to rip off Airplane for humour and they always fail miserably, its a shame. Nothing will stop it going to #1 though, look whats there at the moment....Now That IS the worst film I have ever seen, Shame on you people for putting it there.

    How I long for the day of cleaver horror spoofs like Student Bod

    by otis von zipper

    Here's my problem with these spoof movies. They just recreate scenes from other movies. If you haven't seen those movies, then often you are missing the joke. Where's the fun in that? Airplane made fun of a genre in general, and only made a few direct references to specific films. If you had seen just one disaster type film, then you appreciated the humor. Same with Naked Gun. But now everything is just a slapdash of SNL skits with dicks and feces added.

    by archdiver

    bodily functions and body fluids are funny. Lowbrow films like this are always full of them, from the Naked Gun to just about anything by Mel Brooks. Everyone extolling the virtues of Airplane are idiots. That film pushed the boundaries of its day, just as this franchise is doing. They would have done sperm jokes in Airplane and Blazing Saddles if they could have gotten away with it. If this shit isn't your cup of coffee (a bit nutty, isn't it?) then fucking stay home and eat some hot dogs and watch a DVD you do like. The most important thing in the review was that they laughed their asses off, and I for one plan on dropping my cheeks on the floor as well.

    by charles grady

    DEFIANTLY????? I think the author meant DEFINITELY. Bad enough half the reviewers and Talk Backers spell it DEFINATELY with an A, but this is just ridiculous. I guess the author had smoked too many MARLBOROUGH lights. Harry, you're getting awfully close to rock bottom by posting such a horridly written review. Couldn't you spell-check or edit before things like this go up???? But I will say this certainly IS a rush job. Wasn't the Brando incident and subsequent hiring of Woods just ONE MONTH AGO????? They were casting a movie in April/May that opens 4th of July???? I know parodies like this are expected to be crass and slapped together, but talk about cutting it close! So basically once they've committed to a big release date like that, we're stuck with whatever movie they can whip up in that short period of time, as opposed to something that was given time to gel. Then again, what would you expect from a "SEQUAL?"

    by 1stgodling

    I'm just wondering but why can cock and jizz be shown and only invoke a PG13 or R at the worst but when bush or clit is evident it goes right to the NC17? ohh wait I know, cuz Men are the ones being edited. We lose out guys, cuz the womens can't stand seeing themselves up there onscreen. AND to the ones who posted about balancing out the frevor over halle's berries, it's cuz it is VERY RARE to see a talented actress show some backbone and bare any amount of skin no matter how important to the plot it can be.That's what makes men go nuts over this scene, not just hormones, though they help a little. This is my humble opion. Thank You For Listening To Your 1st And True. remember....G.N.L.S.

    I wonder how Mr. Eisner can publicly talk about Disney being a family-friendly company and still keep a straight face at the same time with winners like this. It's all about making money, kids. If only jokers like him would just admit it, I wouldn't hate these films as much as I do. And James Woods just dropped a few levels of coolness because of this.

And it seems the reviewer repeats "THE WEAKEST LINK, SURVIVOR", presumably to emphasize them. So what's wrong with that? You haters out there need to relax. And if you want to complain, DeVore, at least find something worthy of complaint. There's nothing worse than a snob who can't show anything worth being snobbish about. The reviewers gave useful information and refrained from giving too many spoilers. DeVore showed zero signs of intelligent thought or common sense. Who should be complaining about whom?

    THE FIRST ONE BLEW!!!! And that is no joke! I only laughed(reluctantly) 2-3 time during the entire movie. And not just because I am a girl and don't find those types of jokes funny. Animal House, almost anything with Chevy Chase, There's Something About Mary and many other movies of the same type are very funny to me. I hate to admit it but I AM easily amused and Scary Movie barely even managed to do that, much less make me laugh. I truly loved the Wayan's TV show but this movie is like all those songs on the radio where they remake an earlier song because they are unable to create something original. Fuck it, I don't know why I bother to even read anything about SM except I was bored.

    WAHAHAHA!! Man... you GUYS!

    by roguewriter

    TalkBacks like this one are why I keep coming to this site. I've been laughing my ass off for 10 minutes. DeVore, you walk it to him, pal -- sticking up for illiteracy and ignorance instead of demanding higher standards is what's wrong with this whole damned country. And stop swiping my fries, yo.

    Hey Pippi,
    It's okay. I can see what you were up to. Review's okay, guys, leave her alone. The movie sounds, uh....problematic at the very least.

    (by the way, Pipp, it's "incoherENT")

  • Really, Dimmension did a killer job marketing the first film. But beyond that, I have no idea why the film made so much money after the first couple weeks. The film was absolutely horrible. I was not offended, I like a lot of pretty offensive stuff believe me. But I wasn't amused either. I don't think I laughed out loud more than once through the whole thing. The Wayans family seems to be way past their prime. I don't even know if the presence of Natasha Lyonne can get me to this one. And laughter in the audience doesn't mean much. I remember the opening night of "Batman Returns." There was a trailer before the film that just had the rest of the audience in stiches, louder than I ever heard in a theatre before . What was this future blockbuster? "Stay Tuned" - nuff said.

    Bad grammar/diction/spelling is a problem, but the bigger proble

    with is with inexplicable hostility and lack of manners, for example, in the form of road rage, Web rage, etc. Poor language skills are not all that many "13 year olds" exhibit. Poor social skills and quickness to anger are another hallmark. ... All that said, I'm just having fun ribbin' ya, DeVore! In my way, I am just demanding high standards; it's just that I'm demanding it from you, first. With all the glass houses out there, it just makes sense to start with the one owned by the stone-thrower.

    a revelation

    by the riot

    It was five.. maybe six minutes ago. I finished reading this "review" and all of the ensuing talkbacks... I just let my mind go blank. I stared at the screen for a while and then..., and that's the moment I knew there was this entire life behind things, and... this incredibly hebetudinous force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to think again, ever. These talkbacks are poor excuses. But they help me remember... and I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much stupidity in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in.

    Hebetudinous?

    Dude, I think that's, like, actually an illegal use of a six-dollar, like, word round these parts. Like. ;)

    Male vs female naughty bits

    by shalamar

    "... it is VERY RARE to see a talented actress show some backbone and bare any amount of skin no matter how important to the plot it can be." Hey, 1stGodling, it isn't her BACKBONE ... nah. I won't say it. You have a point, though, and a similar point was raised (please ignore all unintended double entendres) in Entertainnment Weekly's website today. Getting a star like Halle Berry to go topless is a big deal - all I'm saying is that it would be rather nice if we occasionally had one or two big-name male stars do likewise, like Kevin Bacon in "Wild Things". I'd buy THAT for a dollar. "I get to see Hugh Jackman nekkid in 'Swordfish', heh-heh-heh."

    The Wayans Family

    by blueflamingo

    I must confess I do await Scary Movie 2 with some anticipation. I liked the first one but I prefer "Don't Be A Menace...". Here in England they did some real STOOPID censoring for the Brit release.
