I never saw those movies either, so I was trying to figure out what slasher movie trailer I'd seen her in. Checked IMDB, and yes it was Scream 4.

Cool, like I said I don't remember much from the movie. If Alison Brie does get killed in the movie then that's unfortunate. Now that I think about it I have only seen the first Halloween movie and Halloween:H20 none of the others.

I believe she's in it, I don't remember much of the people in it, except for Emma Roberst who for some reason I dislike. Never seen any of the Halloweens from Rob Zombie, I don't hear good things regardingthem.

Didn't the fourth one have Allison Brie getting murdered, or am I thinking of one of Rob Zombie's awful Halloween movies?

Forget, "Friends," I've had a crush on Courteney since "Misfits of Science." Anybody remember the video for Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark?" I see that fresh faced kid dancing with "The Boss" now, and wonder if ANY of us were ever really that young.

I dunno about this... I think they should have let this franchise go quite some time ago
