I saw Ring the other day...it was quite an enjoyable story, but if that's supposed to be scary, I don't know if I'll even bother seeing the american version.

And the anti-France thing in america is extremely pathetic, and paints the country as very childish. That's me being kind! I hope it stops soon, but judging by the actions of the senators, I really am not optimistic...

Not everyone is too happy with the "anti-France thing." Most of my friends and family are not participating in this kind of garbage.

When people said that the original was pretty scary, then I'm not surprised at all!

I cant be arsed with teh American remake of ring. It made me yawn. The 'original' ring was much better... Okay, maybe if I had been watching it with other perople I wouldn't have found it particularly scary, cos people distract me, but..
By myself, in a dark room so I can really get into the story..and having the phone go at the worst possible moment... really helps. That and maybe not having to constantly read the subtitles...

The American anti-france things is quite petty - especially the crap coming from Washington. But I would also say that France has had an anti-America thing going on for a very long time too (along with a lot of other continental Europeans). Neither perspective is defensible, but it diminishes my sympathy for the french. Who also slag off the British, by the way.

I suppose so, but I get the impression the the french are generally haughty, but not stupidly nasty as those across the pond are being.
