Very, very good movie -- I've got both versions on DVD.  The American 
remake is very good for American horror, but the Japanese is more visually 
spectacular and more UAishly weird.  The only reason that I don't place the 
American version so far behind is that Naomi Watts is so damn cute.   #%o)

Speaking of wussy friends, I have one ex-player who refused to play CoC 
ever again after I hammed up a session just enough to send him fleeing from 
my flat.  I wish that I could put my finger on exactly what it was that set 
him off, so I could do it again to my other players.

I've always had a soft spot for "Let Love In", especially the track 
"Loverman".  "Red Right Hand" is also a good track, but it's been overdone 
since the X-Files crowd picked up on it.

Goddamn, I knew there were a few Aussies on the list, but I didn't realise 
how many.  I guess that we just live in a pretty bizarre and surreal 
country.  Speaking of which, James, a while ago, you mentioned some UAable 
weirdness in an Adelaide train station, but I can't seem to track the 
reference down.  I get down to Adelaide (I'm in Sydney) every so often, and 
I wouldn't mind checking it out for myself sometime.

Actually, come to think of it, Adelaide is a pretty weird place.  Seems 
fairly sedate on the surface, but with the Adelaide Effect and the Family 
and Snowtown and what not...  Not quite on the same level as Canberra and 
its geomantically inspired design, but it's up there.

Last night, I dreamt that I'd pinned Bruce Willis beneath an unpainted 
section of picket fence in his front yard, and that I beat him to death 
with a copy of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.  I awoke with blood on my 
face.  Note to self: never eat penne before bedtime again.
