Well then. I just finished watching The Ring and I must say... it wasn't as bad as all that. Really. I don't know why everyone was so freaked out by it. Yeah, it was suspenseful but it wasn't horrific. I though the one after it, the one with Sarah Michelle Geller in Japan was a touch squickier than this one. I guess I'll have to watch the second one.

I guess it is because I read a lot more fantasy and fantasy/occult type books than [livejournal.com profile] crabbyolbastard...

Can't you all see what must be done to banish the little girl now and forever? Sheesh. She has access to the airwaves. There was that scene where she was standing on her balcony and noticed that everyone around her was watching the television, or rather being kept company by the television.

This is the solution. The world is prepared with the necessary equipment and instructed to:

A. Place a tape in the VCR to record at a specific time.
B. Tape the show, without watching it - in case it doesn't work when you watch it "live."
C. Watch the tape.
D. Immediately make a copy of said tape.
E. Have your neighbor watch the tape six days later.
F. Destroy "original" that you originally taped.
G. Repeat steps D through F

Or is anything past D even necessary? Well?

Either that or you change it into a "chain letter" where the person who just watched the film is instructed by the letter to make a copy and send that copy on along with the letter, destroying the "original" copy after you send it out.

The next one is about letting these "children" into your womb? What? Sheesh, The Astronaut's Wife was spookier than this movie. Oh, and who is the patient being described as conceiving then miscarrying? The mother or the child? And why does the father say that she was never supposed to have a child? Hrm? Sounds very Cthulu... in the extras. Went away and came back pregnant. Although the doctor made it seem like they adopted and came back with a child... Hrm. Anyone have any answers?
