Yes again with the dentist. Hopefully just one more visit and then never another thing with this one tooth. The all-day feeling like someone is pressing on my tooth is getting a bit annoying. All in all though, it has really been an alright bit of dental experience. Only bothersome due to feelings of betraying my teeth and a discomfort over how much money this may end up costing. Well, who cares? Married in one day less that a month with a nice fresh crown soon… All should be just fine.
My movie ponderings are leading me to thinking that maybe the time has come to get rid of the j-horror that I’ve got. Honestly, I just don’t find it entertaining. Not all, mind you… I do like Uzumaki, Evil Dead Trap, the maligned Junk and (as you loyal readers will no doubt remember) One Missed Call. But I tried to watch Dark Water last night. I couldn’t really keep my mind on it but, from what I did see, it reminded me of the others I have of similar ilk: Ju-on, Kairo, Kourei and Tomie. A Little too much on the atmosphere, from dull and boring, to unsettlingly creepy to dull and boring. I mean, I can deal with the boring if there’s a good payoff and/or the boring is pleasing to the eye… But if the boring is just boring and then the payoff is creepy enough that I don’t really want to watch it, that doesn’t make for a very entertaining movie experience… For me.
