Ju-0N reboot thoughts

Ju-On: The Beginning of the End was.............................. Alright. (obvie some spoilers)

It's a reboot, tho the fact it kinda continues the baby storyline from the 2nd film.....I would've rather had a direct sequel to Ju-On: The Grudge 2. TT0TT

One thing that IS nice about this franchise is that it doesn't try to rely on the same thing too much. Is it always good? Eh. But it is to see them changing it up. This is one of those times (making it more focused on Toshio than Kayako).

I'm happy Kayako gets to talk more (I prefer the OG and possibly the American versions in terms of characterizations, but the actress did a good job being creepy!), but I was surprised how little we learnt about Toshio's original family ;w; I feel like Takeo's situation could've been handled better too.

Ju-On: The Final Curse....so far (still have like 20 min left in the movie) I find this one to be A LOT better than The Beginning of the End. Story is a bit better, and so are the scares.

I really liked how Ena kinda befriends Toshio (hopefully that's not ruined too much in the last 20 min TT0TT). I dunno I just.....like seeing the slight humanization of the ghosties. How Kayako talks softly to Toshio in The Curse, Kayako's sad look she gives to Rika at the end of Grudge 1, the cute little kitchen scene we see play out in the background behind Kyoko with Kayako/Toshio in The Grudge 2, Toshio meowing at a dog toy in White Ghost, and Toshio asking a stranger for help to "find his cat" in black ghost. TT0TT I just like the little humanizing moments (also not in-universe, but the entire promotional stunts they did for Sadako vs Kayako, great, priceless, love it). TT0TT

Hmm I dunno, I think what the reboot might be missing compared to the Original and US ver is......the rage. You FELT that damn rage in the other timelines. This one........Toshio doesn't look rage filled, he just kind stares blankly/innocently at people. Which is fine, but it doesn't sell the main aspect of The Grudge....which is the rage.

Takeo we got cause he was abusive (or at least heavily hinted at it) and then went insane when he thought his wife was cheating on him (she wasn't). We don't get to see all his actions, but the glimpses are a lot more rage filled than the small (still fucked up) segment we get in the reboot. Reboot!Takeo doesn't seem outright abusive, just absent (lol kinda like this film), so his snapping feels....eh.

Kayako is filled with rage (and sorrow, and sorrow turned into rage) cause she got FUCKED over in OG. Reboot!Kayako? Feels more like a protector of Toshio imo......and pissy if anyone comes near her precious kid.

Toshio, both are pretty fucked over in their backstories....the difference is OG!Toshio is the assist to his mama, while Reboot!Toshio has to carry the movies. Which is kinda hard since his whole shtick is to not look exactly super pissy (I think he can do it, the 2nd film showed a bit of anger but eh), I mean he originally was a tragic passive observer of his mother's death so.... TT0TT I get it.

I think what kinda works in the reboot sequel as opposed to the first reboot film is that Kayako is more of a looming presence. And evil/jealous protector if you will. Toshio's to Oskar/Owen as Kayako is to Eli/Abby from Let the Right One In. I mean Toshio is still doing his own kill related stuff but still.

I dunno, I'll give the final verdict later when I finish. Probs gonna take a small break with Naruto and then jump right into the US series next. (then the TV show, then save SvsK till after Ringu.....god Ringu is gonna be a fucking trip isn't it? TT0TT)

im still not okay

[solargeist]

first time i watched this i thought “yeah this is exactly what its like growing up a mentally ill/nd girl”

[bylertruther]

those mike pov fics that really actually show the difference between mike and will's exterior behavior in the sense that mike sees and knows that will is less "tough" and "masculine" than him, but he doesn't think anything negative of it at all and is trying to break through to will who is trying to hide that bc he feels shame or embarrassment for it..... they jus hit different .

and when will sees that mike won't judge him for his sensitivity and that he actually loves that about him? that mike doesn't view him as any less of a man or view it as abnormal? and so he comes out of his shell and becomes so much more vibrant? bro im tearing up just thinking abt it like—

AND WHEN THAT IN TURN MAKES MIKE COME OUT OF HIS SHELL, TOO, AND BECOME MORE EXPRESSIVE AND VULNERABLE?! GODDDDDDDDD

its so sad :( hopefully enough people boycott e ent

yea...it's a shame theres no way to boycott eent without boycottin e'last as well

for those who don't know e entertainment's ceo has ties to a cult that has allegedly funded e'last as well and so there is a boycott on the company and in turn e'last

this (tw/cw sa) is all i can find rn because im about to start cryin again so

Apparently a lot of people didn't like Ju-On: The Curse 2 (JTC2), and I think it's because it reused a good 20-30 of footage from Ju-On: The Curse 1 (JTC1)..... But I happened to watch them in a cut order on youtube that got rid of that extra fluff and I didn't think it was that bad.

Like JTC1 was def scarier (it has Hitomi! ofc it's scarier), and thus better imo. BUT I do like how JTC2 wraps up the loose ends fairly ok. I even got to see possessed Kyoko! She ate that look up. 😤

Ju-On: The Grudge 1 (JTG1).....I can't remember if I saw this one before. I know I saw the American remake, which doesn't just draw inspo from JTG1 but also some aspects of JTC1 and JTC2? (or is JTC2 for The Grudge 2? lsjdflkjf guess I'll find out later). But it's interesting to see what's been changed between the two versions (but it like still works!)

But anyway, I didn't mind JTC2 that much.....but Ju-On: The Grudge 2? That was......ehhhhhhh????? I def laughed. I wasn't as scared (tho I did jump a few times it wasn't scary). If anything I was more excited for the 10 seconds I saw an apparition of living Kayako and Toshio eating happily at the dinner table (TT0TT I want more of that!!!!). But it is...like.....fun? In like a comedy way, not a scary way. The Saeki's are really just fucking around in this film dksljflkf

JTG2 was both easier to follow and less easier to follow somehow, partially comes from Chiharu's story. It was ok until Chiharu got involved. TT0TT

I think Black Ghost/White Ghost is next. I'm torn between jumping into the American version or going into the Reboot (the new TV show is last, well Sadako vs Kayako is last but that's AFTER I get through all of Ringu)...... I mean the Reboot is only 2 films long....so maybe that....even tho I heard mixed things on it. They do say "Toshio is the real villain" and.....that woulda scared 10 yo me kldjsfalkjfa Cause Toshio scared me more as a kid.

I really enjoyed teen titans go but like in retrospect these are the things I really liked:

When Cyborg takes his head off and has the little ball of wires for a body (I love that shit so much)

The fact that Robin never “””wins””” Starfire

The ttg vs tt movie which… is mostly bc it reminded me of Obsidian
