Rating - Crimson: 2 of 5 / Joe: 3 of 5
 
Oh, I got a freakin' hoot of a story for you. Last night,Crimson and I are hanging out and I go "Hey, man, how about a movie or somethin'?" He says "Sure." And we proceed to see what's playing at our local Studio Movie Grill. We decided we'd go and see "The Ring" It's the high grosser this week. Why the hell not? We go and see the movie and have a great time. And if you can't tell, I'M BEING SARCASTIC!!! Here's the bottom line, folks....we're gonna die AND IT'S ALL CRIMSON'S FAULT!!!!
I resent that. I wanted to wait seven days to see if the people on opening night dropped de--
Excuse me, Crimson, but I believe I was telling the story. So, we're watching this movie. It's an edgy thriller starring Naomi Watts....God DAMN is she HOT or what!? But I guess that doesn't matter since I'm gonna DIE soon anyway!
Tell them the story. Maybe they can figure it out, and SAVE OUR MISERABLE LIVES!
I'm getting to that! The movie revolves around a video tape. See, rumor has it that if you watch this tape you only have seven days before you die. Oh, it was real funny to me and Crimson until this chick fucking died from watching it. But what do we care? She's the one that watched it. Not us. NOT FOR FUCKING LONG!! Turns out that Naomi Watts wants to investigate how this girl died and she comes across this tape and puts it in the player. Do you see where I'm going here? WE ENDED UP WATCHING THE MOTHERFUCKING TAPE!!!
Hey, I TOLD you not to watch when the tape came up. But you had to be different. You had to be a REBEL. You had to be DIFFERENT and DARING! Fucking showboat.
Oh, don't you even start that, Crimson. I would have been perfectly happy seeing something else. I wanted to see "Sweet Home Alabama" but NOOOOO. "You can get out and watch that and walk home yourself" he says. "I'm not gonna watch that crap" he says. "That movie's gonna suck." Yeah? Well, "Sweet Home Alabama" doesn't FUCKING KILL YOU IN SEVEN DAYS!!! You signed our death warrants. Thank you very much.
Look, it's not like there was much else out there, okay? Couldn't see Red Dragon because you'd already seen it, couldn't see The Tuxedo because I have a shred of dignity, couldn't see Sweet Home Alabama because I HAVE TASTE! And oh yeah, wasn't this whole fiasco YOUR idea!?
Okay...yeah. So seeing a movie was my idea. We play video games all the time. I thought a movie would have been a nice change of pace.
Oh noooo, you had to go see a goddamn MOVIE. "Let's stay and play X-Men, maybe I can beat Bastion with Phoenix and get Dark Phoenix." But no, again, you wanted to do something DIFFERENT! You wanted VARIETY! Well LOOK WHAT THE SPICE OF LIFE HAS REAPED FOR US, YOU FRIEND-KILLING MOTHERFUCKER!
HOW THE FUCK DID I KNOW THAT THE MOVIE WOULD FUCKING KILL US!!??
Stop, stop. We only have seven days. We can't go out angry.
You're right. We're getting nowhere bickering like this. We gotta find out what we can and maybe we can reverse this thing.
Reverse what? Reverse DEATH!? Do you know the success percentage on reversing death? I do. Guess what? IT'S FUCKING ZERO!
Don't get pissed at me!! I'm trying to come up with some ideas here. What are your thoughts?
Maybe someone can help us. Maybe if we reach out to the world, SOMEone can solve the problem before we die horrible, brain-melting deaths.
Okay...cool. So, we'll document here, what happens in the next seven days in order to help any other people who may see the tape after us.
Wait. We're movie critics, right? Shouldn't we be like.. critiquing the movie?
Uhhhhhhh....sure...even though we're about to DIE. I'm sure I got nothing better to do than give my opinion about the movie.
Quiet, candy pants. GOD, you're always such a drama queen.
I'M NOT BEING A DRAMA QUEEN!!
And now you're yelling!
I'M NOT YELLING!! YOU ARE!!
Get on with it.
Fine fine fine. The movie was kinda cool until it became a Freddy movie with "Interactive T.V." being taken to the next level. I give the film a 3 out of 5. The wet blouse scene gets a perfect 5 out of 5 though. Dying or not....those are some beautiful cans on Naomi Watts.
I felt the whole thing was a little bit sloppy. There's a fine line between a slowly unraveling mystery and merely a laborious one, and The Ring definitely falls into the latter category. And all of those scares? They're the cheapest kind -- quick cuts with screeching soundtracks. No intelligence to it whatsoever. The acting is decent and the style is nice (though it overdoes it a bit from time to time), but overall.. I'd rather be killed by the Empire Strikes Back.
Yeah and if anyone has any info that might help you can e-mail us at......OH MY GOD!!
But I rather did like Naomi Watts' pleasing presence. She looks so damn like quintessential american beauty. Too bad she's Australian.
Crimson....
And boy, you could HEAR the audience detaching from the film when it went from psychological thriller to shoddy ghost story.
Crimson....
I give it 2 out of 5.
CRIMSON!!
Jesus, WHAT!?
Dude, why's my face all distorted in this pic?
Aw, fuck.
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.....I'm sooo pissed.
Can we sue anyone?
I don't wanna die. Dreamworks sucks, man.
