June is usually the time when television series are airing their season finales by wrapping up lose ends or coming up with a cliffhanger ending that will leave you waiting till the fall to find out what happened. June can also signal the cancellation of many television programs. The movie ‘Scary Movie’ helped to elaborate this point with one of their quotes from the film for this month. Scary movie was a comedic film released in 2000 that exploited previous horror movie cliches and borrowed heavily from the slasher film ‘Scream’ in order to provide jokes for the audience. The plot revolves around Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris) and a bunch of her friends who accidentally hit a man with their car and decide to throw his body into a lake. A masked killer then decides to kill each friend one by one with hilarious consequences. The friends try to find out who the killer is but are oblivious to the fact that the killer may actually be one of the members of the group who is secretly trying to eliminate the rest of the group. The movie has spawned 3 sequels with actress Anna Faris starring in all 4 movies and countless other comedic spoof films since then. In this month’s quote, actor Shawn Wayans’s character Ray responds to critics who think television shows are too violent by telling us the truth about what in actuality really does make people violent…
