BTW, I thought Mulholland drive was scarier than the Ring. Different kind of scary, of course, but it totally freaked me out in a major way. |

Yeah, it fucked with my head for days on end afterwards. Couldn't get it out. I wouldn't say scary so much as just wierded out.

Absolutely. But I still had trouble walking down the hall to my bedroom in the dark after it was over.
I always watch movies late-ish at night with all the lights out. When MD was over, I was pretty freaked, but I didn't want to turn on any lights. I didn't want to wake up Mrs. KWhit. I tell you, I SPRINTED to that damn bedroom. That movie twisted my brain all around. |

Mulholland Drive? I thought it sucked big hairy donkey balls...
... well, except of course the hot lezbo scene. That one scene made the rental more than worth it. |

Mulholland Drive was excellent. Though many think it sucked donkey balls. It's one of those you love it or hate it flicks.

I totally agree with you. I said the exact same thing to my girlfriend after we watched it, and she told me that I was ruining the movie. Im sorry, but it wasn't me who ruined the movie, it was the fact that these aliens who could travel across the galaxy couldn't figure out before they landed that the planet was loaded with a substance that was toxic to them. I still thought it was an interesting movie, but that part just made it totally onconvincing for me...

I think the water thing was half the problem. The other half was showing too much of the aliens. It was scarier when you could just see his claw/hand and when he quickly went by at the birthday party.
In the case of mosters/aliens, sometimes less is more. |

This is true, especially so in The Ring. The split second shot of the dead girl in the closet still haunts me even after six months. If a movie focuses on something like that too long you can both get used to it and start to notice the fakeness. But just a quick flash can be oh so much scarier...

Well, I watched The Ring based on the comments on this thread, and I enjoyed it. I wasn't scared or freaked out by any means, but I thought it was a decent enough film. I am glad I read the FAQ first though, because they left a lot out. Having that knowledge going in let me get a more complete understanding of the plot than I would have. I checked out Ebert's review just a minute ago, and his major complaint was that it was far too difficult to understand, and I think he has a good point. If you haven't seen it yet, I would recomend that you read up on it before seeing it, which is unusual for me and I think is a sign of some bad filmmaking. If I had not read up on it, I think I would have thought it sucked.

Session 9 was filmed in my hometown of Danvers, Mass. They have reopened that building for tours now... I'm going back on vacation next week and hope to get a peek. As for the ring... I had seen it once before I was it with my wife. So I had my cell phone pre-programmed for the house number for when the movie was over... she hated me for about a day after that.
