Buffy ,'Showtime'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
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.

You know, I don't even remember.
Hey, I hear that I made everyone blinvisible -- I am sorry.

I blame that Potter kid.

I was one of those people. Liked the rest of the movie, though. A friend of mine thinks it falls apart because it never explains how Samara is doing any of this, which I think the original one goes more into. She would love it were it not for that. Actually, hold on, she devoted an entire website to it.
Oh and apparently the next Superman flick has lost another director.
This is a really obsessive Ringu/Ring website, which (among other things) compares the cinematography of Ringu and The Ring. It's chock full of creepifying pictures.
Anyone posted this? It's an interview with the cast of Anchorman, where they all just lie and shit.
QUESTION FROM THE PRESS:What do you think you can teach Nicole Kidman about comedy? (The Oscar-winning actress is co-starring in "Bewitched.")
Ferrell: Uh. You know. I'm not really familiar with Nicole Kidman as an actress. I've heard that she's done some great stuff. And I hear that she's got a cute little rear end on her.
QUESTION FROM THE PRESS: Christina, have you ever experienced sexism in Hollywood?
Applegate: No, I don't find it. The casting couch thing is a normal thing, right? I mean,that's what we do to get jobs.
Koechner: That's not sexism. We all did it.
