I saw "The Ring" last night, and I have a question: am I a total wuss cause I thought it was really pretty scary? I was pretty scared while watching it, but not like it was making me jump, more like it was just making me uneasy; but afterwards I had a hard time not thinking about it. I even had a dream about the movie and then thought about it this morning when I woke up. I do wonder if it would have been scary to me if I hadn't watched it alone and on a TV screen. Its weird, cause looking back on it I know there were at least a few problems with it, things just basically unexplained (which made it reminiscent of an X-Files episode in that way), but for whatever reason it really just stuck with me, and I wanted to comment on it. I won't say anything about the movie for people who may not have seen it, but I just wanted to know if I was the only one who was scared by it or not.

According to you, Joss Whedon's work is scary, so I don't know how to rate The Ring on your scale of scariness. :P

Joss Whedon's work isn't scary. The fact that people enjoy Joss Whedon's work, now THAT is scary

I still have to post the photo of the Smallville fan from last night who was fully dressed as Christopher Reeve-era Superman, complete with the hair and tights. Now *that's* scary! ^_^

too bad you didn't watch the japanese version first, it's by far better. i didn't really care for the american one, but now i'm being one of those guys who just says, "the foreign one is better because it's, you know, foreign."

I'm willing to watch the Japanese version. On the DVD there were a couple clips from it and they looked pretty fucking scary (specifically a shot of Sadako's eyes). I doubt I'll have my opinion of the original ruined because I saw the American one first though. A good movie is a good movie, regardless of what pre-conceptions you might have going in. Over repeat viewings (for me at least) you really find out how you feel about a movie, and for me that usually changes with each viewing, sometimes for good and sometimes for bad. I already want to watch "The Ring" again, but for all I know I may hate it the second time. You know me though, I'm game to watch just about anything.

I saw The Ring last year when it was in the theatre, and I have to say that it freaked out my perceptions of the world, in general, for about the next twenty-four hours. And, yes, I kept having nightmares that woke me up throughout the night (something usually unheard of for me, the deepest of all sleepers)!
