Headscratchers / Scream 3

• Jay and Silent Bob's cameo. It mostly appears as a throwaway gag but when them existing within the Screamverse, it begs the question, how much of The View Askewniverse films are canon? It just boggles the mind.
  • I think they were just filming a Stab movie near some movie in The View Askewniverse.
    • Yes, but that still raises too many questions.
    • Equally possible is it's Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith who just happen to be in-character.
  • Jayand Silent Bob Reboot pretty much suggests that Clerks was also a film within the View Askewniverse. So, a whole new additional set of confusion to be included in the mix.
• What the hell was with Roman being the killer? Gale finds him in the basement, and after checking his body pretty thoroughly she declares him dead, and they never explain how he was able to STOP HIS FREAKING PULSE.
  • Considering Roman was a director, he could have access to various special effects, including stuff that mask his pulse. Or Gale could have been too frantic and just didn't notice correctly...
    • Plus, at this point, we've already established she's not the brightest bulb in the box. Remember, she's a reporter, dammit, not a doctor. And with the whole "Psychotic Killer on The Loose for the Third Time" thing, she'd likely assume that he's already dead.
  • Word of God is that there are techniques to stop one's blood pulse in real life, and Roman used one of said techniques.
• So... how did Roman get Sidney's phone number anyway? The only ones who used Dewey's phone were Jennifer and Kincaid.
  • I think they decided that Roman got it off Dewey's phone memory/contacts.
    Gale: Do you have Sid's number in your memory?
    [Dewey looks up as if he's searching through his brain's memory]
    Gale: No, doofus! Your phone.
  • Is it possible he just traced her phone when he called her on the hotline? I mean, you don't generally run that kind of thing out of your home.
  • Jennifer mentions that she slept with Roman before, so it's possible Roman would have access to Dewey's phone through her, especially since Dewey lends his phone to her at one point.
• The framing suggests Maureen's real name was "Rina Reynolds" and then she changed it to "Maureen Roberts" when moving to town, except her sister's name as revealed in the fourth one is Kate Roberts and she lived in Woodsboro too. Would this mean Maureen changed her name in Hollywood instead and then changed it back when she left? Is Kate's married name actually "Roberts" while her birthname was also "Reynolds"?
