Spooky,

Of all the residents of these boards, you are the one who most needs a special Halloween avatar.

Weren't most of those things in both of them? I remember all these recurring images flashed on the screen during the panic sequences or the dreams or whatever they were (it's been a while) and I thought that they were pretty similar.

Maybe my mind is just playing tricks on me because the plot, at least, is pretty close to identical.

No. The japanese version is just worse. Didn't like it nearly as much.

Edited to add that I disagree with mmmmm. It was almost entirely the same, but the history of the girl was different, how they went about uncovering her history was different and the guy's character seemed markedly different (although it must not be that different because I can't pull up why). But you're right. It was really just a hollywood remake of a lower budget movie. They fixed some things and made it better visually. But they shouldn't be too proud of themselves.

I want to see the others in the Japanese series, though.

I'm easily freaked out. When I was a kid I wouldn't watch any even vaguely scary movies.

I see my best friend, who died in 1996, pretty frequently -- usually just sitting on a corner of the bed. Less so in recent years, which is disappointing.

As for best tag lines, a tie between the Shining and the Shining:

"Heeeere's Johnny!"
"Honey, I'm home!"

Now if I only had a wheelbarrow, that would be something.

I don't know if "disappointing" is the right word, but I'd be plenty weirded out to find Less sitting on the corner of my bed.

What kind of dumb-ass keeps a wheelbarrow in his attic? Only a New Yorker could get confused about this. If you'd just move to New Jersey, I'm sure you could keep it straight.

I'd be weirded out if Less was my best friend.

Well, if he'd quit trying to fuck nuns, that shit wouldn't happen.

what I'm wondering is whether the Catholic school itself can be charged with corrupting the morals of a minor.

FYI - when I become Pope, I pledge to put vigilante Catholic school girls in every town.
