ringu : the ring

they've remade the 1998 japanese movie 'ringu' into the
american movie 'the ring' due out later this year. it's a
shame people will never know about or see ringu but maybe
the ring will be good.

The original is a true horror movie....literally a work of
art!
The American version will go the way of the Bourne Identity
and turn it into an action packed pile of shite!!
I shall avoid it like the plague!

Ringu was an absolute masterpiece, the remake makes me want
to cry.

hey?!

I thought it was called the ring originally.... I dont
understand. I've seen the Ring, called the Ring. Never heard
of ringu. Can someone put my mind at rest?!

It is gonna be a travesty!
Makes me wanna cry too!
Laughed when I saw what they did with Bourne Identity - was
a tense spy thriller with absolutley no action
atall.....just a great story and a tense atmosphere.....now
the yanks in holliwood have turned it into a fucking action
fest with Matt Damon!!
MATT DAMON for christs sake!!
The original was brilliant but now it is all poopy!!

Ahh..... just noticed...

Well since it's being remixed, I've just ordered it on
Amazon.

The new ring won't have a touch on the old ring. So fucked
up

The Original Ring kicked ass, such a freaky piece of shit

one of the only things in life that actually scared
me...along with Silent Hill 2

I think Ringu was the original Japanese name, it was
released as Ring though in most places.

lol....I love the first but it is all a little too dull for
me now...
Always had a problem with those sort of games - too much
aimless wandering and not enough combat!!!

The Ring?

All the copies i've seen in shops call it Ring, we saw it on
tv and it was called that, then got the DVD's. it's just
Ringu in Japann IIRC as the first time I heard of it back
when it was first released it was just Ring.

The ring films got craper as the sequeled but saying that.
The Ring 2 was a good film in its own right but you had to
watch the first. Not a touch on the first tho

I still think the first is the best....but the 3rd, all
about the main legendary charcter (no spoilers here
please!!) confused things by making you wanna hate her for
what she does in the other films, but at the same time,
makes you sympathise with her for her mistreatment!!

you know what would have been fucked up? if they had put the
scenes from 'the tape' at the end of the video, after the
endtitles/credits or whatever..

i waited to see this and thanked god i didnt..

static then the scenes, then it stops.

well, i watched this movie by myself, and even though im not
superstitious, that would have scared the living shit out of
me..

i wonder how many of the people who saw it
unplugged/switched off their phone/cellphone after the movie
ended?

again, i'm not superstitious but i did.
