and "The Ring" is a nice remake of a CLASSIC :cool:
First off, I didn't say word one about 'Ringu'. That was okay. (Far from a classic, but okay.)

Of course Hollywood tries to copy it, that's what they do to anything that has made money. Just like Ju-On to The Grudge, the American counterpart is about 4 notches below it's Japanese original.

Remakes in general piss me off, but this one really did and it was mainly because all I heard from anyone who saw it was that it was sooooo scary. :rolleyes: Fuck that. The Ring wasn't scary at all. In fact, it was really fucking stupid in my opinion. The villain sucked (Ooohhh, some little girl stuck in a well somehow got on to a tape that scares people to death... Really scary... :rolleyes: ), the acting sucked, the director tried to give it the Jap horror feel and failed, and on top of that, the end of the movie didn't even tie up all the loose ends.

The Ring = 1 suck ass movie.
