ju-on -- the grudge

so i've got a grudge against 'the grudge.' heard a lot of good things about the new one with sarah michelle gellar based exactly on the original and also set in tokyo. by ... the same director who did the remake. i'm horrid with names and i have already put the film in the post for netflix. coma brain... it was so lame, i've got a grudge against it for wasting a film in my queue...

anyway, even my best friend luke said the film wasn't horrid. and i trust his opinion. well he must have been doing some serious drugs the night he saw it, or else the remake is far better than 'ju-on' because i found little to like in it. mostly it was a stupid plot with supposedly scary moments that were about as scary as my trip to the philadelphia edgar allen poe house. there, the park ranger told us to 'look in every cabinet' and they had plastic rats in some, and spiders in others. that's how thrilling this film was. the only good thing i can say about the film is the its lead character had good eyes for supposedly getting scared.

i thought that if i liked this one, i would go see the grudge. but tim and i both agreed it was a piece of shit, even if he liked it more than me. i even fell asleep at one point, it was that lame.

so don't see either!
