Tremors: Shrieker Island (2020)
My rating: 5/10
This does not compare favorably to the other Tremors movies I've seen, and there are some bits - whether due to bad direction/editing, budget constraints or 'rona reasons - where it feels like none of the characters and events are in the same place, but as cheap creature features go, I've definitely seen far worse.

Short Circuit 2 (1988)
In many ways, Short Circuit 2 is kind of a mess. It’s too long, key characters from the first film don't return (and the explanation for why is weak) and several plot threads go nowhere or are needlessly complicated. Nonetheless… the characters have so much charm and the parts that work are so good it wins you over. The first Short Circuit was a bit of a divisive film but if it appealed to you, definitely check out this sequel.
Sometime after the events of Short Circuit, Benjamin "Ben" Jabituya Jahveri (still played by Fisher Stevens) is now a struggling toymaker who lands a huge contract with the help of a street hustler named Fred Ritter (Michael McKean). When the run-down factory they’re using is ransacked by thieves tunneling beneath the building to get to a collection of valuable jewels, Johnny 5 (voiced by Tim Blaney) is sent to help his friend. In a big city with so many distractions and with many looking to exploit the innocent robot, can Ben fulfill the toy order on time AND catch the eye of the beautiful Sandy Banatoni (Cythia Gibb)?
Why does this film has a subplot about a gang who convinces Johnny 5 to help them steal car stereos and another about Fred being tempted to sell Johnny 5 to a tech company on top of the bank plot, the toy deadline, the romance and Johnny 5’s sudden realization that, as a machine, he doesn’t have the same rights as a human being? It’s as if writers Brent Maddock and S.S. Wilson came into the producer’s office with plans for not one, but three sequels to Short Circuit. “Sorry boys, but you only get to make one” they were told. Instead of picking the best ideas and leaving the rest for later, they just decided to include EVERYTHING. On the upside, this means Short Circuit 2 moves VERY fast. If there’s an element that doesn’t quite work, you’re moving onto the next thing before you know it.
Luckily, few elements DON’T work. Once we get into it, the relationship between Ben and Sandy is tender. You want them to get together. As for Johnny 5, he's so sweet and innocent that seeing him reading Pinocchio and Frankenstein, and realizing what those stories mean to him melts your heart. The special effects are once again excellent, largely due to everything we see on-screen actually being there when the cameras were rolling. It’s all puppetry and practical special effects. Sometimes you don’t realize how much of a difference that makes until you see it in action.
Like the first film, this sequel has many hilarious lines to offer. So many that, once again, you’re prone to miss one or two while you catch your breath. Director Kenneth Johnson, writers Brent Maddock and S.S. Wilson lack restraint. There is too much going on and it gets even wilder during the conclusion when the story takes yet another turn but there's one aspect of the conclusion that wraps up the movie so well it allows you to overlook the flaws. It’s a bit of a retcon, as the original Short Circuit clearly established that Ben WAS born in the United States while now, he’s applying for citizenship but where it leads will make you say "continuity be damned".
You don’t need to have grown up with Short Circuit 2 to enjoy it, though you do have to have enjoyed the first. What worked in that film works again here. Despite the overstuffed story and at least one element that hasn't aged well, those anyone excited to hear that they made a Short Circuit 2 will be happy with these results. (On DVD, March 30, 2019)

Did a 15+ hour road trip with my fam twice a little ago and I drove a good chunk of it. Used AA/DGS music to keep me awake bc music psych is a blessing sometimes. Anyway, just a roundabout way to say, I have discovered some fun things in the music that made me 👀👀👀 Idk if anyone else has noticed any of it (and I will say I have minimal music theory knowledge but I'm an English major with the tendency to read into symbolism way too much), but feel to keep reading if you're interested! Spoilers for DGS2 are in here, fair warning!
I'll try and include links to the songs when I can! It'll probably be a mix of Spotify and YouTube hyperlinks so bear with me. Fair warning, this is super long because I decided to cram everything in one post oops lmao
The Funky Time Signature
The first thing I really ever noticed was that Sholmes' "Dance of Deduction"s were weird in terms of keeping beat. It's not in common time aka 4/4 aka 8-count; I think it's in 7/8 time (so you count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 etc. etc.) which is a struggle to maintain counting since people are so used to 3, 4, and 8-counts.
Dance of Deduction - Type A
I found sheet music for easier counting! It says it's in 7/4: https://youtu.be/51vTmoQzwI8
Originally, I thought it was just because he's Weird and Silly™, but I ended up listening to "Partners - The game is afoot" which plays when Sholmes and Yuujin are on the S.S. Grouse trying to deduce where Jigoku is.
Partners - The game is afoot!
This one is surprisingly in 4/4 aka common time (you count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 etc. etc. [though I have seen sheets put it in 12/8, which is close-ish, but it still has an even counting pattern WHICH IS WHAT MATTERS]). So in actuality, Shomles' Dance of Deductions aren't in a weird time signature because he's our favorite eccentric boy (okay, it might be part that too); it's because he's missing his partner after he left and investigating never felt quite right without him. Once he and Yuujin get to investigate together again, he's whole and happy. And it's just so fucking gay I can't.
Harpsichord
The big thing I noticed while I was driving (because there was nothing else interesting on the road) was the use of harpsichords in certain Londoner themes, specifically Stronghart, van Zieks, Iris, and Kazuma's prosecutor theme, as well as some of the final songs during 2-4&5.
If you don't know, this is what a harpsichord sounds like! Yes, I know I'm a nerd for being able to pick it out and name it while driving lmao
You can hear it a lot in Stronghart's theme, specifically around 0:38-0:49 (it's pretty in the background so you kinda have to strain your ears but it's there), but it's also pretty present throughout his theme.
Lord Chief Justice Stronghart - Time-Keeper of the Law
There's also a lot of it in van Zieks' theme as well; it's right off the bat and it's one of the prominent instruments throughout the piece.
Barok van Zieks - The Reaper of the Bailey
You have to really be listening for it, but it pops up occasionally in Iris' theme as well! You kinda have to strain your ears during 0:16-0:30 to hear it, but it's definitely there. It's more hidden compared to van Zieks'.
Iris Wilson - Young Biographer
I know Kazuma is Japanese, however, since he became a prosecutor in Britain, it still counts and it makes more sense once I tell you why it's all related (if you haven't guessed yet). ANYWAY, his theme also has a lot of harpsichord in it, even in the parts that were from his original theme.
A Prosecutor, Reborn
This could all just be a stylistic choice too, but do you see it yet? All the people who correspond with these themes are directly related to the Professor killings. van Zieks and Kazuma have the most prominent because we know by 2-4 the obvious connections they both hold. Iris and Stronghart's are more in the background since both of their involvements are big reveal-type deals by the end of the game.
Bonus points: the actual theme that plays when anything related to the Professor is mentioned also has some background harpsichord to connect it all.
The Professor - A Spectre Revived
I will note that I didn't notice anything in Gregson's theme, even though he played a big part in the false conviction. Courtney Sythe's theme also has some harpsichord, but I can't remember how she's related to it other than the fact that she helped with the autopsy (which probably means I should replay the games again lol).
Other game music that proves the connection:
Enoch Drebber - Rondo of Science and Magic
The Great Gateway to the Truth
The Prison Warders
The Great Closed Trial - Court is Now in Session
Reminiscences - The Fruits of Ambition
Others I probably completely missed
A Prosecutor, Reborn
Speaking of Kazuma's prosecutor theme, one of the really cool things about its composition is the warring back and forth between itself. It starts with the completely new theme, blending his usual string accompaniment with drums/cymbals, singular bell tolls, and harpsichord. When it gets to around 0:47, you hear the bells and then it switches back to his original theme from Adventures, though it's a lot grander now and lacking a lot of the traditional Japanese elements it once had.
A Prosecutor, Reborn
Kazuma Asougi - Samurai on a Mission
And it bounces back and forth like that until the end of the song, the bells signifying the shifting. It goes to show this internal struggle Kazuma is having between finding the truth even if it's something he won't like (his original theme) and following his emotions to falsely convict van Zieks as revenge (the beginning chunk of his prosecutor theme).
I also think it's interesting how dominating the harpsichord is, again especially over the chunks of his original theme from Adventures. In connection to it being related to the Professor, aside from the obvious connection to his father, it also shows how much influence and manipulation Stronghart had over him, with him being the BBEG.
Siblings
One of my favorite things I noticed was Susato and Kazuma's connections through themes, though not the one you're thinking. Kazuma's official theme I'm sure has a few connections to Susato's (but I haven't listened closely enough to hear them), however I really noticed how intertwined the two were when I listened to Kazuma's unused theme they provided in Chronicles.
Susato Mikotoba - A New Bloom in the New World
Kazuma Asougi (Unused)
Many of the same instruments are used, as well as note and chord progressions. They have the same peaceful/serene vibes too, which is understandable in why Kazuma's was scrapped (even if I do like it a lot). But if this ended up being Kazuma's actual theme, I would've noticed the familial relationship they share instead of my initial thoughts of it purely just being professional.
That's all I've really noticed for now, but I'm sure I'll come across more things as I listen to the soundtrack to study. I will, however, shut up now and let you get back with you day/night/whatever time of day it is for you because this is getting l o n g. If you did read this far, thank you for indulging me and listening to me be a complete nerd ^w^ And definitely feel free to share your thoughts too; I love talking about this stuff if you couldn't tell!

Point Wilson Lighthouse
There has been a lighthouse at Point Wilson, on the northern tip of Fort Worden, since 1879. The first lighthouse was built of wood, and replaced by a rock-and-concrete tower in 1914. The new lighthouse used the original lighthouse lens, which can be seen over thirteen miles out to see.
In April 1921, the passenger liner S.S. Governor, traveling with 240 passengers and crew, collided with the freighter S. S. West Hartland. The Hartland sank in ten minutes, with a loss of eight people. Most of the survivors were taken to Seattle, but most people believe that one lifeboat landed at the Point Wilson Lighthouse.
Years later at least one person reported seeing the ghost of a woman walking around the lighthouse, which was automated and kept locked after 1979. More than one night watchman told stories of seeing the glowing specter of a woman wearing a long dress. They usually saw her wandering between the lighthouse and the outbuildings. She would then open the door of the lighthouse and walk inside. When they investigated, the watchmen found that the door was still locked. They believe that this ghostly woman died in the collision and is still looking for her daughter, lost at sea.
The Coast Guard still owns the lighthouse and its outbuildings. In 1999, the crew of the cutter Osprey and their families moved into the old lighthouse keeper's residence. There were two buildings, one of which was divided into two apartments. One day a Coast Guard wife was in the kitchen, and saw something out of the corner of her eye. A few minutes later she heard the sounds like someone walking around on the second floor, and sounds like rummaging through boxes of closets. She yelled that she had a gun, and the noises ceased.
On another occasion, one of the families had a guest who slept on a couch on the first floor. He woke up in a panic after dreaming that someone was choking him. As he bolted upright, he saw some motion and what he believed was a woman walking from the living room to the kitchen. He quickly followed, but didn't see anyone in the kitchen. There was no way out other than the front door, which he would have heard open and close.

hii, you can write one from Patrick Wilson from the film he made Hardcandy in which he takes revenge on the girl, smut Hateful and rough sex, blowjob, face fuck, spanking, cum swallowing, non-consensual elements, dubious content I really didn't like the ending of the movie. Please🙏❤️❤️
Hi! Patrick Wilson?? That's way out of left field, lol. Are you sure you got the right fanauthor? Did you mean like with a C.E. or S.S. character in the role from that movie? I appreciate your request, as I love to get them, but I googled the movie and it honestly sounds too gruesome and dark for my tastes. Even with my darkest characters, I do like the story to have elements of intimacy and affection at some points.
I hope you understand,💖Sarah

[ad_1] They mainly come out at night, when the century-old ship’s lights are out and all is quiet onboard. It’s then you’re most likely to hear footsteps on the upper decks, doors slamming and quiet voices conversing.They are the rumoured ghosts of the S.S. Sicamous. Chief archivist Brian Wilson of the Okanagan Archive Trust Society aboard the S.S. Sicamous with a camera once belonging to Eddie Aldredge, whose spirit is said to be on the ship. Mark Brett / Penticton Herald It is believed by some that those making the noises and moving things around may be the spirits of long-ago Capt. Joseph B. Weeks (1922) and its most recent resident, former Penticton Herald writer/photographer Eddie Aldredge, whose father once worked on the ship. Story continues below advertisement Tonight (Saturday, July 29, 2023), the Canadian Paranormal Society and the S.S. Sicamous Society are hosting an evening aboard the ship that promises to be a very ethereal experience.Participants will be involved in a live paranormal investigation seeking out those spirits, learning about ghost-hunting methodology and the history of ghosts in the Okanagan. 3:01 Paranormal investigator launches ‘Ghost Revelations’ tour in Peterborough Chief archivist Brian Wilson of the Okanagan Archive Trust Society is someone who has personally experienced some strange goings on at the iconic Penticton landmark.“I worked at the Sicamous for 10 years in the ’90s and it’s definitely haunted,” said Wilson, who actually built a little tribute to Aldredge on board the ship, including his work desk.“You ask anybody who works there, especially at night, because you’ll hear all kinds of things rattling around on the boat and there was a woman who worked there who could hear really faint voices. Story continues below advertisement “I built the displays there and occasionally when you locked everything up, when you came back the next day the stuff would be all strewn around.”After he died at age 91 in 1992, Wilson helped clean out Aldredge’s residence, taking some of the belongings and maybe even his friend’s spirit to his own home. The late Eddie Aldredge at work in his office. His spirit is believed to walk the S.S. Sicamous to this day. Submitted “It was always a spooky feeling about his house after he passed away. It was like he didn’t want to give it up,” Wilson recalled.“The funny thing is when I was going through his things, every time I would throw something in the garbage, the darn stuff would flip back out onto the floor. Can you believe it?“When I set up the tribute at the Sicamous, I kind of under my breath asked him to stay there and leave me alone. Story continues below advertisement “I’m not sure if you believe that stuff, I’m not sure that I believe it, but definitely Eddie’s spirit was around and now he haunts the Sicamous.” Trending Now Arizona teen missing for almost 4 years turns up at police station near Canada border B.C. port strike: Unionized workers vote to reject proposed contract settlement Meanwhile, while he personally has never seen the ghost of Capt. Weeks, Wilson has no doubt his spirit, when not roaming the decks, is at his station in the wheelhouse.“Right up until his dying day, the captain really, really wanted to stay on the boat and he hasn’t left,” said the archivist.“The Sicamous is really the kind of place that needed haunting, if you know what I mean. It was the perfect venue for anything you wanted to either make up or hear rumours about.” 3:39 Ghost walks in Winnipeg’s Exchange Pete Renn, a real-life ghostbuster and co-founder of the Canadian Paranormal Society, will be out tonight for what will be his third time on board the ship. Story continues below advertisement “In previous investigations, there were some questionable answers on some of the devices we were using, like the electronic voice phenomena and a couple of spirit responses, but nothing concrete,” said Renn, who has done spirit research in many other parts of the world.“But that’s one of the things about paranormal investigating: You can check a place for multiple years and still come out with a broken puzzle or you can investigate a place just once and connect the dots.”The event goes from 5-9:30 p.m. Money raised will go to the S.S.

And now we all know how that turned out.....
Michael just loves droppin’ hints.
Also, there was a press release yesterday about the involvement of Stampede and the original Tremors team.
Press release 10/16/2014
As we approach the 25th anniversary of Tremors, we have news about Tremors 5.
Most fans are aware that Universal Studios has announced production of a new DVD sequel, being shot in South Africa. For all of us at Stampede, this is a bittersweet development in our long connection with the franchise, since we, the creators, are not involved.
Stampede has always been interested in reassembling the original Tremors creative team to produce a fresh new theatrical sequel in the Tremors voice. We attempted rights negotations with Universal for an independent theatrical film in 2012. However, the studio passed on the option, preferring to continue the franchise with DVDs at some future date.
Early in 2014, Universal Home Video indicated that they were budgeting another sequel based on a 2004 script written by Brent Maddock and S. S. Wilson. While they pointed out that they had “no further contractual obligation” to Stampede, they did offer us Executive Producer positions. But they also made it clear that in this new even-lower budget project, the Stampede’ partners’ participation would be severely restricted, with little control over cast, director, special effects, locations, or indeed any aspect of production.
It was always only our full involvement as creators that gave us the means and incentive to reinvigorate and expand the Tremors universe with Tremors 2, 3, 4 and the series — despite the significant increasing budget limitations. Without meaningful creative control allowing us to continue to guarantee the integrity of our Tremors vision, we sadly declined to be involved.
The entire Stampede Team extends a big THANK YOU to the loyal fans who have clamored for this movie for so long. For your viewing pleasure, we hope it’s good!
The Stampede Partners: S. S. Wilson, Brent Maddock, Nancy Roberts, Ron Underwood.
Here’s hopin’ it doesn’t mess things up or nothin’. Change is fine, good even, but Tremors is Tremors and you can’t mess that up and stay a-okay.
