Was that the reason she was put in the well?

Do you think I'd like it, LE?

Not knowing what kind of movies you enjoy it's tough to know, but I found it entertaining. I wouldn't say I loved it, but for a $4 rental it was enjoyable. Not much of an original plot: guy getting married in a week joins his college buddy/best man for a week in California wine country to get drunk and play golf. However, the characters are interesting - even Jack, played by Thomas Haden Church who was Lowell on TV's "Wings". Give it a try, P.

Thanks, LE. I probably will at some point.

The parents realised she was 'possesed' and did it to prevent her from causing anymore harm. Though why whe was unable to escape, when she able to appear from inside a television, is far from clear, as this would surley involve some kind of teleportation capabilities. Perhaps she needed to be in close proximity to a television set, in order to do so.

As an aside does anyone else think Naomi Watts bears a resemblence to Nicle Kidman? I understand they're best friends as well.

And was there any particular reason she would choose the medium of a video to do her dirty work, with its relatively limited destructive capability?

Or was that somehow the most she was capable of?

No idea. The brilliance of the whole ring thing also failed to pre-empt the onset of digital technology. I imagine some form of obsolescence will kick in completely within 20 years. Probably even earlier for the Japanese version, what with their consumer habits.

Well thank you for your explanations, Hank. I appreciate it. But still, to step back a little, I guess I felt that the concept of a killer movie was so strong, simple, and powerful, it was just disappointing that the explanation would not be equally strong, simple, and powerful.

I assume you would agree that the explanation is not strong and simple.
