Daniel Robert Epstein: Sarah Michelle Gellar

america's remakes scare me. even if it is the same director.
i think he has dollar signs for eyeballs. the grudge was fine the way it was.

I just saw the movie yesterday, and althought I cannot compare the two films (i have not seen the original) i enjoyed it. It is not a great film or even a good film, but it is not an average film. I liked some of the shots, some of the photography, in fact, based on the small quantity of films I have seen of urban Japan the japanese have very beautiful cities and they look very pretty on film, like the love affair Woody Allen has with New York city. But it is not a movie where actors can shine, like in the Joss Whedon projects, that are character-driven stories. But anyone that enjoys haunted house movies will probably enjoy it.

Why do did people enjoy Buffy and why are people going to see this remake? What sort of consumer minds have you all been programed with? Can't you see detect crap when you see it?

Anyway. I want to see The Grudge.

Because I absolutely loved the original and I wanna see how the re-make stacks up. I'm slightly disapointed that Sarah "someone whacked my nose with a book" Michelle Geller is starring in it... I would have liked to see an unknown actress.
But oh well... It opens tonite so I can form an opinion after I get off work.

Japanese horror movies = good.

Stupid hollywood remakes = bad.

Buffy = Good
Most things she does = bad
hansel likes bad things

Oh please. Did you ever even watch the show?

I don't like scary movies, in fact, I get really scared, and I yelp, and cry sometimes.. Because, I scare so easily.

However, I'm a huge SMG fan, so thats the reason I'm going to see the Grudge, because I follow SMG career.

And Buffy was a huge hit because of the way the show was carried, and the meaning that it held, believe me, there was more behind the story lines of monsters and demons. If you don't know, then I'm really sorry that you couldn't get past your meaningless cosumer drivin hating life (I have always appericated that line - Thanks Stiles) to enjoy a TV show for what it is.. a fucking TV show.

Enjoy guys!

hey! Fractal gave an interview!?

I think that someone should do an interview with Willow (Alision Hannigan)....

all i can say is, if smg thinks crouching tiger is a good representation of asian film, um...sigh.
can you say chung king express, in the mood for love, seven samurai, drunken angel, fallen angels, or happy together?
she says she doesn't limit herself, but it seems that maybe she is.

You aren't fucking serious are you? That whole against-the-man, fuck-the-mainstream shit is played out. It wasnt meant to be fucking Citizen Kane. Its a horror movie. I look forward to seeing it.

BTW, I r PUNKR 7H4N U.

The better question is did he ever take Grammar in school?

I want to see this because it looks scary. I like scary stuff.

Translation:

"Duh durr duhh dahh duh dadda dahh!"

Buffy Never understood what people saw in that show.
*shrugs shoulders*

Gah. I love SMG!

i dig SMG

but re: remakes of japanese horror ... i have not seen a *lot* of origianl japanese horror flicks, but like i watched 'the eye' (which i know is not considered sort of the best of the best, but i think is well liked?) ... anyway, it didn't do it for me at ALL. i think for me some of the *horror* is lost by reading subtitles. not b/c i don't like the reading - but the reading somehow distances me from the characters, making the thrills less intense.

they reference Trogdor!

Why doesn't she ever say the word Buffy?

i thought that was a bit odd myself

Just go back from The Grudge.
First movie I've ever been to where a large majority of the audience actually screamed.
Of course, I have a feeling a majority of the audience was a bunch of pansies.....
But still a good movie. Go see it.
