1. I mean, the Babadouk is pretty much the pop up book version of the Ring already.

2. “That’s not a church anymore.”
   They enter the building and are now outside of all time and space.
   “Wow. That’s really not a church, anymore!”

3. In the tradition of Cowboys and Aliens: Poltergeist and Aliens! That’s right: It’s named after two things that are in the movie.

4. No Stuart is always a bummer. Judas Priest references from Elliott are always great. Ripper Owens isn’t Rob Halford, but he’s an awesome dude and nailed it live.

5. Aw, nice! I happen to have just watched Rings a few days ago*. And now this: Ol’ Seven Days herself vs. the Seven Pounds Fan Club. The first time a coincidence like this has never befallen me. But is it a coincidence … or some kind of sign that I am Sadako’s chosen? I guess I won’t know for sure until I complete my brail course at the community college.

   *The reason I voluntarily watched Rings is that I was such a fan of the original Ringu that I read all the books and watched all the movies even though they are almost all terrible. If Rings left you hungry for more hot eyeball-on-soul action (and assuming you’ve already seen both the Japanese original and the very fine American remake) the only thing I can recommend is the prequel Ring 0: Birthday, which is not bad at all. The second Japanese sequel, which is called Ring 2, is pretty bad, but not terrible, so you could also give that a shot.

6. as requested (joke spoilers)

7. Clark Kent absolutely is alliterative – it’s about the sound, not the letter.

   “Clark Cymbal” isn’t alliterative, but “Susan Cymbal” is.
