*So I went and watched Juon again with Louise, Pearl, Michael, Rudy, etc. tonight. I'm not exactly sure why, but it like seriously wasn't scary at all this time- as Pearl was so apt to point out. Now, granted, she is more ballsy than most people I know (guys included), that still doesn't account for the disparity between no one being scared tonight vs. last night where me and the guys all screamed like little girls.

And it's not just that I knew what would happen this time around. I think the scariness of a movie is directly proportional to the size of the screen, the effectiveness of the surround sound, and the unfamiliarity of the venue in which you watch it. All three of these areas were lacking tonight, and added up to a rather disappointing scare. And also, I think you have to watch the made for tv version first for the theatrical movie to make much sense. And plus, you need to have a lot more patience to watch Japanese movies compared to American movies- stuff just happens sooooo much slower. Some call it "suspense," others call it "boring," hahaha.
