Cheeba touched on it, but remaking asian horror is hard because you're basically remaking a culture. It's hard to remake the feel of those movies because they're made in accordance to the ideals of that culture. Ju-On deals with the problems with family and the definition of "home" in Japanese culture. In comparison, "The Grudge" is about ghosts.

American audiences don't rely on that as much, most US audiences just want scares to jump out and punch us in the face. That's why its always weird to transfer... except The Ring (I felt) made a great transition to American audiences.

It's "good", not "goog" you jerkoff.

Everyone hates you and they talk ill-will about you behind your back.

A Tale Of Two Sisters leads the pack for me. Give it a whirl.

And I'm against any remakes, no matter where they're from....

let's just hope they don't mess with Audition. You know they would tone down the last 15 minutes.

No way...Not in THIS day and age..if ANYTHING...they'd catch up the REST of the movie to go along with the last 15 minutes, which in my opinion, was the best part of the entire movie...Well, that thing in the bag was pretty cool, too ;)

OOH...And I just noticed that the picture you posted would make a great avatar...Especially since the ones that are available on this site are TERRIBLY played out...

So...If ya want it...This will fit:

wtf that wouldn't be better. if they did that you wouldn't have the shock of the nice girl suddenly showing her true form. the rest of the film might be a little boring but that's what makes it a brilliant film.

LMAO...Looks like you were one step ahead of me ;)
