I watched Saw early saturday morning. It wasn't terrible, it had some sort of plot to it, and did make you think occasionally. The problem was that the actors were terrible, one guy I think hasn't been in a movie since Hot Shots 2, and it had Danny Glover . . . eh, he hasn't been that great since he played next to Mel. All in all, I liked it, but it sucked.

Last night I saw The Grudge. God damn that was the most pathetic 'horror' movie I've ever seen. I imagine the Japanese version was a thousand times better. The plot didn't follow well, it felt like there was something missing, as if they didn't express things properly. Part of my problem was that my girlfriend said all her friends at school said it was the scariest thing ever, so I was expecting to get the shit scared out of me. I laughed a hell of a lot more than shivered. There were a few startling spots, but it was mostly just me leaning over to CC(or her to me), and saying exactly what was going to happen later in the movie.

I hope the Ring Two doesn't suck as bad.

I think The Ring 2 will suck. It's one of those movies where you're not supposed to make a sequel.. as are a lot of movies.

I thought you were joking. Hollywood needs to be nuked too.

I was skeptical about seeing The Grudge over my last disappointment about The Exorcist: The Beginning.

it probably will. americans should stop to try to do their american version of japanese movies(just like some of them criticize japanese peep on doing the same), what will be next,battle royale? i pity the fool who dare to do that!

Thank you.
Eventually yo get to the point where you have to explain everything, and that just defeats the purpose of stories like this.

Hopefully soon. It demands a sequal.

I just heard about Saw about two days ago. It kinda interested me.

After The Grudge spoilers, I think that one might be a rental. I'm still curious about it. Of course that depends on whether or not I get a copy of Ju-On between now and then.

And yes, Japanese Ring > American Ring. Ring 2 is destined to suck.

I was told by a friend Ju-On is about as bad as the American release, of course, he bashes most horror movies.

The one I heard was better was the TV version.

gwynn · « **Reply #13 on:** Nov 11, 2004, 01:12:39 PM »

Ju-on is now out at Target, and I was wondering if thats the movie that the Grudge was based on/ripped off from.
I think japanese live action movies are pretty crappy if Godzilla is any indication, Ill wait for the anime version.

PS I love Godzilla, just not the human actors in it.

Fiero · « **Reply #14 on:** Nov 11, 2004, 10:39:39 PM »

Yes, it is Ju-On.

B E C K · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 11, 2004, 11:13:24 PM »

Yeah, I noticed in the Sunday paper that it was there for Best Buy and some other places. Target and Walmart worry me. Don't they carry edited or safe versions of things? Or is that just Walmart I'm thinking of?

gwynn · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 12, 2004, 02:02:40 AM »

Target has been carrying lots of unrated versions of things lately, they know where the money is.

Evil Monkey-Tom · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 12, 2004, 12:48:22 PM »

Yeah, Target is good. Walmart, Sams Club, and Circuit City wouldn't carry X-Men Legends (I spent all afternoon looking for it) and then I found it @ Target for onl 35 bucks. ^_^ I like Target, just I would never work there again.

It's like a cult!
