I saw The Grudge recently as well. It wasn't very scary really...then again I don't get scared at movies. However, it was incredibly cool seeing all the scenes in Shinjuku and recognizing a lot of the places. I kept hoping they'd walk by Like an Edison and Club Indies.
The graveyard they went to briefly looked just like the one that was right outside my hotel window, I wonder if it was the same one.
[snob]Grave of the fireflies isn't a Miyazaki movie, it's just a Studio Ghibli movie, it was directed by Isao Takahata and written by Akiyuki Nosaka[/snob]
Yea, I just watched The Grudge yesterday too!!! Since I've seen the Japanese Version before so i didn't except anything dramatic from the American version already. Yes and I agree, the story is crap but oh wellz.... I also watched Team America yesterday and that shit was fuckin sick and funny!!
