      The real question is what did they do with that super short dressing gown? Did they give her visible underwear? Because she has her legs up. Show us the other angle, you cowards. Make your intentions as clear as can be!

        I want a late-ass Ring sequel just to “oh yeah?” all the gags about screen size. I wanna see a full-size hand reach out of a phone screen and snap someone’s wrist.

            Anyone watching video on a watch doesn’t deserve seven days. Just kill them now.

              I remember summers 2002~2004 … I had Nokias 7650 & 3650 … with a 2" 176×200 screen … on vacation I watched movies on it!

              The PC software could transcode any video to that resolution, so that’s what I did, iirc I got 3 movies (space was tight back then, and memory cards expensive), but I also always has a lot of pics.

              Anyway, she didn’t answer, never called back, stood me up on the seventh day … young romance, what can you do (but close your heart a bit more).

                Different times. I’m not sure Kids These Days™ will ever know how hard it was to get downloaded video out into the world. Just showing it on a television was an ordeal.

                Apple released an iPod with a 60 GB hard disk and a color screen and it still didn’t play videos. Someone converted the new Episode III trailer into an MP3 and a slideslide of four thousand JPGs, and scrolled through it at about the right speed, and it was jawdropping. I watched their camcorder video of that event as a downloaded .MOV file - Apple’s own video format, at least a decade old, then a de-facto standard online - because Youtube did not exist. A few short years later the Wii got a Youtube channel and it was the coolest fucking thing to watch random internet videos, ten minutes at a time, on a television three feet thick.

                But nowadays? Everything’s an LCD, everything’s USB-C or HDMI, everything has wi-fi even if it shouldn’t. Watch the spooky murder video on your smartphone, you maniac.

        That last one is hilarious. Imagine having a tiny Sadako running around trying to drown people or whatever, but she’s small so it really just ends up keeping everyone hydrated

        Cupful of water appears in your mouth

        swallow What the f–… Oh, Sadako, I didn’t see you there. Thanks!

        In the Japanese films, Sadako was an adult already when she fell down the well and survived 30 years in it. So she’s at least in her forties, according to Wikipedia. In the American version I think they changed her to a child but also changed her name

              Saying it’s not a child is high level ‘anime’ copium.

              It’s the same character. It’s a child.

                Boy… Uh you really haven’t paid attention to Disneys animations for the past several decades have you…? Since the source material featured incredibly underaged characters for some stories, Disneys version made them adults. So are they “bad” and still children as well…?

                Look …I definitely do not defend when they have viably looking minors in anime and try to say “oh they’re actually a dragon” or “they’re 1,000 years old” but this argument for this situation is kinda moot if the depiction is clearly not of a 12 year old

                  This is such a random ass ‘argument’. A remake / Disney version is not truly the same character. In this case it literally is. It’s just merch.

                  But keep you doing you I guess. Enjoy the copium.

    Yeah the Bishoujo series by Kotobukiya does that. They take everything and turn them into anime girls.

    Optimus Prime

    Starscream

    Megatron

    Geralt of Rivia

    No one is safe from the waifu beam.

          Honestly I’m impressed how well the suitcase and jacket pockets adapt the original design. Still solidly what the fuck territory, but A+ for effort.

          … does Lemmy have any ATBGE communities?

    And Jesus everloving Christ, it is not hard to make Sadako scary. Unironically “she’s just standing there… menacingly.”

      She always had a name

      She’s from a 1991 Japanese book that got adapted into film (Ringu) and then again in the US (The Ring) where her name is changed to Samara

      Specifically the character from The Ring movie. The person whose specific vengeful spirit haunts the video tape. It’s been ages since I’ve seen it but I think they changed her name to Samara in the international release but in the original Japanese film the person whose ghost haunts the tape is named Sadako.
