Do you die seven days after watching it?


I can't help but note the similarity between the cursed videotape in The Ring, and the supposed "art" that is on display in this film.

Did anyone else expect Salvador Dali to come crawling through your screen and paste an absurd mustache on your face while smothering you with molten pocketwatches?

I didn't get a phonecall after watching it, but all the same, please try to answer by Friday as I'm on day six right now and don't know if I'm going to make it.

The art in this film, to me, has more to do with the fact that such bizarre imagery is nevertheless edited together coherently. It makes you think a lot about what it means when we accept certain editing conventions at face value without considering that we may be deceived.
