Okay, you know what?

I was doing pretty good by myself tonight. Tooling around the apartment, cleaning the ferret cage, singing to myself. Generally feeling A-motherfucking-okay.

Then, just now, the television decides to air a commercial for "The Grudge". Some new horror movie starring Sarah Michelle Geller.

I'd seen it advertised and talked about in Fangoria. Heard other people discussing it. I had a passing interest in it, mild. But not overly concerned with seeing it.

...

goddamn.

Freaked out by a cunting commercial!

>:O



and now the cat is crying over and over again, while staring at the wall.
That's it, I'm going to bed.
And I'm not coming out from under the freaking blanket, either.

Same thing happened to me when the teasers for The Ring first appeared, because there wasn't anything in them to let you know it had anything to do with a movie. It was just a lot of weird stark black & white imagery and a creepy whispery voice-over saying, "before you die, you see the ring" over and over again...and then fade to black. And that was it. No title graphics or nothin'.

Now imagine seeing it for the first time at 3am, half-asleep on a sofa, through one eye, and no idea what the hell it is you're looking at.

Yeah. If I could fit in my dryer, that's where I would've slept for the next week.

I could fit into one of the apartment building's dryers, if I was really determined, but that would mean I'd have to go into the spookier-than-fuck laundry room.

I've seen the original "Grudge", and it was incredible. I really liked it.
Lately, well the past few years, the horror films coming out of Asia and Japan are just kicking the shit out of anything that is being produced here in the states. (Ringu, Audition, and Ichi The killer come to mind) No fuken originality, although a few exceptions come to mind, such as House Of 1000 Corpses, May, and the new Exorcist....but for the most part alot of shitty production, bad dialogue, muddled plot direction, ect....and of course, all the "re-makes", which, ironically, the "Grudge" is....unfortunately the fact that it is the same director as rhe original at the helm, and Sam Raimi is producing, tips the scales in the opposite direction I had originally taken when I saw that Gellar was starring....

You know.. most of the japanese horror I have seen I love, althought it is difficult sometimes to really take it all in while reading subtitles.

I loved the american ring for that. Scared the ever loving piss out of me. I want to see the grudge, but I like sleep, and if it is anything like the ring.. I will not sleep for at least a week.

HESH WANTS JALEPENO POPPERS!!

I don't know...I'm loving foreign flicks with subtitles, especially Japanese or Chinese ones...the newer ones have great sound and beautiful cinematography...Tony and I just watched Quitting the other day...it was fantastic! And as Tony put it, it was about someone kicking heroin, therefore, I'd like it...okay, maybe I do like dark, tragic human stories with real (sad) life endings...I'm tired of the hollywood endings...too tidy, too happy...bah! I'll take cute Japanese school girls throwing themselves off of train platforms anyday!

I'm partial to "Saw," in the new batch of horror movies opening soon. Matt insists "the Grudge" will be better. Who knows? None of it will matter when SEED OF CHUCKY opens in November, because we all know that will rule the mostest. ;)
