Considering Milton had already by this point been revealed to have sexually exploited actresses in the part and may in fact have raped Maureen Prescott himself back in the day, it's not hard to imagine she's telling the truth.]]

* AmbiguousSituation: It's never confirmed if his car accident was actually a tire blowout as he said and that Gale was lying about it being related to drugs/alcohol to sensationalize the story or if was a drunk driving incident as Gale implied, although considering he spends the wrap party drinking its safe to say it wouldn't be out of character for Tom if it was the latter nor would it be out of character for Gale to make up details to sell a more interesting story.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Brutal as it is, he's not wrong that Dewey is ''not'' his superior officer in any way and doesn't have any business giving him orders. Dewey ''is'' just a small town police deputy who got stabbed a bunch of times in previous Ghostface killings, he doesn't have any particular expertise on security detail or even into the psychology of the killer that would justify him giving orders, he's not even there under any kind of security position, he was only involved in the film as a research consultant who has just started dating Jennifer. Him giving Stone orders is the equivalent of taking orders from your employer's boyfriend, so his blunt though very insulting takedown of him is kind of warranted, and largely only comes off as an asshole move because Dewey is a main character. Of course, when he later mocks [[spoiler:Tatum's brutal murder]], there's not really any justifying that.

The framing of this entry feels like it's kinda missed one of the big themes of the film, IE how women are sexually exploited and mistreated in the film industry. Her sleeping with the producer to get the role isn't her being some conniving underhanded slut, its a young actress being exploited by a much more powerful man into sex. Also, the character's rant about 'second rate celebrities' isn't inferring *she* is better than them, but that she didn't stomach Milton's creepiness and everything else just to get killed with them; its more a moment of anger in a desperate moment than a 'reveal' of her true self.

* RedHerring: A not insignificant amount of screentime is spent casting suspicion on him. His demand to find Sidney Prescott stirs Dewey's suspicions due to the knowledge that Ghostface was specifically looking for her location, he's shown to have a folder of newspaper clippings and photos of her that's quite extensive, he has a bit of a creepy and somber response when talking about how Hollywood to him means death, and he shows up in the third act suspiciously alone. [[spoiler:He's not the killer, obviously; his demand for Sidney's location is genuinely due to her being a person of interest, the folder is genuinely just his research for the case and its so extensive because he does his homework thoroughly, his attitude towards Hollywood is genuinely built on the trauma of investigating homicides in the area and the affect its had on him, and he arrived alone because he was aware it was dangerous for two cops to show up as one of them was liable to die.]]
