My companions demanded horror, so we ended up in Ghost Ship instead (we weren't the only ones doing this, either). It became quickly obvious why Ghost Ship sunk fast, while The Ring is 100 mil and counting.

I have seen the smaara/noah scene and the cursed video 15 hundred times, however (thanks to slowburn for this! ) This is Samara?! -One man, one obsession: The Ring!

It is so fun to go see it with a person who hasn't seen it, especially people who are easily scared. Yes, I know, I'm a sadistic loon...but then again, that's not TOO uncommon.... ------------------ WOW, Samara is messed up.....SHE'S MY ROLE MODEL!

I've only seen it four times in the theatre, but I see it everytime I close my eyes. Does that count? Sadako's Apprentice

Edit Okay, I'm back from seeing it again and I will tell you this: The theater was only about 1/8 full. Some teens in the front were making light of Katie's fake choking and were snickering loudly at the TV coming on and the fridge door opening. But they shut the fook up at Katie's death scene -- and were quiet as church mice for the remainder of the film. I always sit in the back and could see that couples were holding onto each other much more tightly and urgently than is usual. Heh. After so many weeks of release, Samara still gets her much deserved RESPECT. Did I mention that, while she's interesting and not bad-looking, Naomi Watts is at best a mediocre actress? It really became apparent during the third viewing. Edited by: inteferon at: 11/30/02 4:17:16 am

It opens here (Taiwan) on Dec. 6, so I'll definitely be going to the midnight showing. I'll probably see it more than once or twice, if I can put up with some of the more irritating aspects of the film. I agree with you about Naomi Watts, Inteferon. Her performance, while adequate, doesn't come close to that of Matsushima Nanako in the original. Neither did any of the other performances, come to think of it, though perhaps I'll appreciate it more at the cinema. I thought showing Samara's face at the end was a mistake. It was ugly, and it was grotesque, but there wasn't anything terrifying about it. I feel it would have been far more effective if they'd left it up to the viewer's imagination, and just shown a glimpse. They even showed it in the trailer, for christsakes!

Her performance, while adequate, doesn't come close to that of Matsushima Nanako in the original. Neither did any of the other performances, come to think of it, though perhaps I'll appreciate it more at the cinema." Although I agree that naomi's performance was not perfect, it was certainly above mediocre. She won't get an oscar because of this film (she should have because of Mulholland Drive but that's beside the point). She is a very capable and excellent actress. If I was the director, I would have gotten rid of all the sarcastic jokes and redone the whole ending when Rachel get's back to her condo from Noah's. Whatever...you all know what I think of Nanako. Perhaps you would have liked Rachel to be more weepy, sobby, and a bit more sluggish to resemble Reiko. Nah man. Nanako sucks big time!!! She can't act at all and has not energy. She looks as lazy as a donkey. I was utterly dissapointed because of her second class acting. It is a freaking movie, not a soap opera damnit. I enjoyed Ringu though because Sanada Hiroyuki was in it. He is an excellent actor and made it feel creepy when it really needed to be creepy. His acting on that last scene was tops. "I thought showing Samara's face at the end was a mistake. It was ugly, and it was grotesque, but there wasn't anything terrifying about it. I feel it would have been far more effective if they'd left it up to the viewer's imagination, and just shown a glimpse. They even showed it in the trailer, for christsakes!" This is why it is a remake. I thought that showing Samara's face did nothing to undermine the movie. I believe that the producers wanted to portray samara as a regular kid, not a freak like Sadako who would not show her face. But the ugly truth comes out about samara and that's when the horror begins to unveil. It creates a very effective result in horror. Edited by: InfluxDatum at: 12/1/02 12:45:15 am
