*holds sword closely to self*
Lawrence is my saviour, heh. He's staying with me tonight ater seeing The Grudge. I can safely say that after that experience I will never see another horror film in the movies ever, unless I or one of my friends happen to star in it.

I was scared by it, but not irreversibly so. I was so glad I went with friends, because we needed to laugh about it afterwards. And we did start making jokes about there being dead Japanese women everywhere, including inside the Lindt chocolates that Ben bought us. And I agree with James- they are gorgeous ^_^

The film, however, was far from it. I'd only recommend it if you were seriously interested in that kind of stuff, or drunk. There were things about it that have now been added to my repertiore of 'things to fear when I'm in a stupidly irrational mood'.

In terms of its structure, it's like any typical horror film you can mention. Deaths, more deaths, gory deaths of almost everyone in the entire cast, stereotypical charactrs, useless but knowledgeable police, creepy music and things that make you jump. So in that respect it was nothing special.

But I Know What You Did Last Summer was a typical horror in the same way, only that was just crap. Because the suybject of The Grudge is something more intangible than a bloke coming back from the dead to kill people (although it's quite similar) and the way it was presented was much more haunting to someone like me. The real test of how effective it was will come when I have to put myself to bed late at night when everyone else is asleep *makes note of where all light switches are*

But anyway, I will never watch it again, ever. My sister's hoping to see it tomorrow, but I warned her that she might not be able to get in- a friend of mine who's 18 was asked for ID, heh.

So yes. I'll be okay, but I'll still want someone to hold my hand when I need them. I'm sorry I couldn't get on AIM tonight to talk to everyone- it's been a long day.

See you soon, and take care ^_^

EDIT: Does anyone else have problems with pop-up ads appearing on MyO sites, or have I been infected with a piece of Adware?
