The second one was faster and furiouser.
Wait, but you'd have no basis of comparison. Um... the first one had some cars in it.
Mal: How drunk was I last night? Jayne: Well I dunno. I passed out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Oh, no -- I can tell that I should never ever watch The Ring. Things like that freak my shit out way too much. The pictures of the dead folk, and of TV Girl, freaked me out enough.
And I think it was the first Fast -n- Furious movie. Vin Diesel and blonde dude who's an undercover cop who is clearly in love with Vin Diesel.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
The only thing that freaked me out about The Ring was the fact that the little girl was played by Daveigh Chase. I feel very strongly that Lilo should not kill people from beyond the grave.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wasn't he? I quite liked the first one. It was Point Break, sans Lori Petty (but we did get a Michelle Rodriguez, so I'm cool) and an upgraded Swayze.

What I loved about The Ring was that the ending came quietly enough I'd forgotten it'd have to satisfy the "or is it?" -- so I was startled, and THEN to have our heroes complicit in it not being the ending, plus that preternaturally wise little kid being scarred forever ...
That was fun. Mostly horror movies numb me on the shock and don't do much else for me.

The Ring was pretty, and suitably scary. But when I watched it a second time, I kept on thinking, "Wait, this doesn't make sense."
The scene with the dead girl coming out of the TV set was cool and creepy.

Which bits fell apart for you, tommy?
The entire killing of the boyfriend horrified me the most. Oh, and anything involving fingernails. I have a bit of a squick there. And the horse, too, I guess, though I read people found that funny.
