The entirety of Serial Experiments Lain, for $19.99?! My patience has finally been rewarded! (muerte: thanks for the tip! :D) I must resist the urge to look around much more, lest I wind up buying a bunch of things that I can't afford.

So, yes, I'm thinking that an anime night needs to happen soon, because I have several things that I'd like to (re-)watch. I'm just not sure when, exactly. If I don't set down a date, I'll probably never get to watch them, because lord knows how busy I get. ^^;

So I kind of half-watched The Ring today, because after seeing Ringu several months ago, I was kind of curious about what differences there were. Ringu laid the story down in a clearer way, but The Ring was more visually appealing, I think. They're both spooky as all get out, though!

I find it hilarious actually trying to explain this movie to anyone who doesn't know about it, though: "uh, yeah, basically there's this evil videotape, and anyone who watches it dies afterwards!" It sounds like the most ridiculous concept, on a basic level. Once you see the movie and the full scope of the story, however, it's just CREEPY. I remember walking out to the car by myself, after seeing Ringu, and having to repeatedly supress the urge to look over my shoulder. That's pretty hardcore. Or, I could just be a big wussy. ;p

Anyway, I should get back to my HW, so I'm out.

The Ring is deinfately a more polished piece (Hollywood did well on this one) and borrows a bit from Ringu 2 (you know what i mean, don't wanna give spoilers here). Ringu though gains something from it's roughness, Sadako is just that much MORE than Samara... the creepy factor. *shudder*

BOOTLEG. That Lain is region-free. There isn't such a beast available legally.

The whole thing for $24, in 2 volumes? Nuh-uh. That spells Taiwanese bootleg version. Those come in CD-size cases & probably have substandard artwork, maybe even horridly-done subtitles.

Only girls think The Ring is scary. I don't know why, because there's nothing scary about it; it's every bit as retarded as it sounds.
