Screenwriting
Lost in Trans-Asian - SHUTTER
I know most of you are too wrapped up in the Pro wrestling-like cult of politics to actually get out there and see movies, but this is a screenwriting group and here is my take on SHUTTER.
Hollywood is running out of garbage to ripoff. I guess if you haven't seen the Ring, the Grudge, the Eye, Pulse, One Missed Call, Marebito, and about 11 dozen other JHorror originals and remakes then you might get into Shutter; furthermore, if you liked Lost in Translation you may like Shutter even more.
Its about a super cool young couple, he's a fashion photographer, she's really hot. Together, they fight ghosts. Seriously. They are fish out of water in Tokyo and then it really isnt very much like LIT. Maybe LIT would have been better if Murray had been a ghost, that remained in the hotel lounge after his death, and whenever people sang a certain Kareoke song, they died. Scarlet figures out the song, and uses her paranormal detective deduction skills to find the body of Murrays character under the stage, still holding the microphone. He just wanted to sing Star Wars.
Forget it, that sucks, Murray would look stupid doing the reverse photography backwards walking played forewards thing, and would look even more pathetic with long straight strands of wet black hair covering his face.
Ok its The Ring with a camera instead of a videotape and its nowhere near as good as The Ring, its The Grudge without the "ARR" Combine that with two actors that probably auditioned for parts in Scream that they didn't get, and you end up with a movie that should have gone direct to DVD.
No back to your Political WWE.

Okay, let me confess and say that I lied to Mary when I said I wasn't shallow. I am, I'll only see this 'cause I think Joshua Jackson is a stone cutie and I'll watch anything he's in once.

I haven't seen the remade SHUTTER, but I have watched the original (which was a Thai film BTW - no idea why they set the remake in Japan).
It was a pretty decent film, although the DVD I watch

[nq:1]One thing I thought was pretty smart about it was how the plot went beyond the movie's 'hook' - that ... to be about more than photos of ghosts. And they came up with one that's not too bad at all.[/nq]
The thing with the original SHUTTER (the remake doesn't open till May in the UK) was that we've all taken photographs. The vast, vast majority of us have never gone round spooky houses, n
