Here are some questions answered:

Why does he call her Rachel? Becuase its trying to emphasize the fact that they are not close.  At the end she realises this when she says "some kids do drawings... I need to go."

People ask how does she kill you?  She (after 7 days) inflicts upon you what happened to her, only in a second.  This is why the bodies are immediately waterlogged.

Why does Aiden talk to Samara?  Aiden feels alone, just like Samara did, and therefore Samara talks to him.  He is also slightly clairvoiyant, we see this when the teacher says that the drawings of Katie are a Week old.

How was Samara born?  In the burnt images Samara gives us, we see horses in a womb, a girl in a horse... etc.  We can only assume, (it says live birth on the birth cert.) that Samara was either born of a horse, or of Anna via horse drugs.  The idea of Samara being born as the equivalent of Christ does not pan out, Samara wants to inflict her pain upon the world, not send everyone to hell becuase she is evil.  She simply wants to be heard.  

In Ringu, Samara frightens them to death, Verbinski must have wanted to make it more gory, i find this to be a mistake.  

One of the most common questions among smarter people... no offense to people who have not asked this... is why Aiden asks "Why did you help her? dont you know she doesnt sleep?" or something to that effect.  The need to not sleep is inhuman, and therefore... we have another hint as to whether or not Samara was really completely human, which backs up the whole theory of Samara born of horse drugs or in a horses womb.

The whole 7 days thing is not a random number... any simpleton can figure that one out.  They make it more than poignent when the guys asks how long can you survive down there and Rachel replies "7 days"

Those sites are all fake... moeskoisland.com and such.  However I am glad that someone enjoyed the movie enough to make them.

Earlier on somebody commented on how Noah's girlfriend is Samara... no.  Her name is Beth.  As for the whole shes coming down from the apartment... nix on that also.  The elevator DOES go both ways.  However people still think its the same person.  In RING 2 (Japanese), it has Beth as a prominent Character.  In RINGU, Beth (different name), screws up an equasion on a math board.  Noah (again different name) fixes it THEN Samara (Sadako) pops out of the TV.

As for nosebleeds... they occur when you find something out about the story.

You see flies when you are about to find something out...  right before they found the motherload of information... (Samara's actual body) they found a motherload of flies.

Samara made the tape... you guessed it... by thinking it up.

Hair is drawn over the faces of all the people in the magazines because they have become infatuated by their horror.

As for the half empety water pitcher thing... get over it its not significant.  They were simply showing that nothing was in the water... if someone can back it up however that it IS significant... please do so.

Notice how there is a black ring between Noah and Aidan when they encounter on the way to school?  Freaky.

You might consider The Ring (and moreso for Ringu) to be anti television movies.  Sadako is the name of a girl who died in the bombings of Hiroshima... nuclear bombings.  Bombings = radiation = television?

Also... If you don't want her to get you... simply hang your tv from the roof as demonstrated when Becca stops in the mental hospital allowing herslef to be unshielded from the TV... I think she had the same idea as I do.  Samara pops out to get you but falls out and breaks her neck.

Happy landings!
