It looks like it could be any of the remakes of Japanese horror movies that hit in the last ten years.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I remember being really startled when Dark City was Ebert's #1 film of the year.

Ebert liked Dark City so much, that on one of the DVD editions, he gets a commentary track all to himself.

No. The eyeball was scenery in a production of Tosca, and I guess the half-naked men were opera singers. However unlikely that seems.

Oh wait, you said half-naked. My mistake.
Horror movie people--do you know what this is from: [link]
It's not from Ringu, the American Ring remakes, or any of the Ju-On/Grudge films. I haven't seen whatever it is, but based on the previews Drag Me to Hell might be a good candidate if it's from a recent major release.

Because books.

Oooh, I could see that being the case.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I saw Drag Me to Hell and I can't picture that being in it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw Hurt Locker last night. Beautifully directed and acted. Some of the dialogue was a little on-the-nose for me, but I could forgive that for the overall intensity of the film.

And SO well acted. Even the special guest stars were totally appropriate in their roles.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thanks for all the ideas. It sounds like this is just "creepy thing of unknown orgin"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, I really really liked Julie and Julia. I had read mixed reviews of the "Julie" parts, but can't really analyze that, due to being pretty much Julie Powell myself. (Better job, no husband. I figure it evens out....) But the "Julia" parts were delightful! I heart Stanley Tucci, not to mention Meryl.
And then I was also pleased to see a preview with her in a love triangle with Alex Baldwin and Steve Martin. Go age appropriate partners!
