Actually, if he were a decade younger, he'd make a great Wally.
However, right now, I think Jason Bateman would make a killer Ted Kord.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Good call, Plei.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I loved the trailer's shift from romcom to slightly creepy "romantic" to a flash of red and "Wes Craven presents..."
Dude. Nice, you're right. Great trailer. And they used the music from the Vanilla Sky trailer, which I also loved. Chemical Brothers, "Where Do I Begin."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Aww. That trailer was just so damn unsettling.
In the theater it came off as "Terror at 20,000 Feet" with the demon as seatmate rather than something on the wing of the plane. The synopsis of the actual movie sounds much less thrilling.

The movie itself sounds like ... dunno, like Jack Bauer would be involved somehow. And I don't know if he'd bring his cool friends with.
But I cherish the trailer and cradle it to my very bosom.

I have a plan.
Well I sat down, turned off the lights and watched The Grudge tonight.
I gotta say, that is some fuked uped kreepy-kriminy-ole.
Did anybody else notice certain stylistic similiarities between that and The Ring?

Hey. New board.
Lots of stylistic similarities between the Grudge and the Ring. Lots and lots. The originals come from the same school of Japanese horror, and I'm sure the remake director in the US had it pressed into his skull that the only reason he was being allowed to make the film was the success of the Ring, so he probably wanted to highlight what similarities there were.

No, the Grudge remake was directed in Japan by the same director as the original Ju-On.
