I’ve seen both versions and thought the Japanese (original) version was scarier. The American version wasn’t half-bad though, if you don’t mind adult actors trying to act/dress like teenagers.
steve: Yes, waif and “goth” both spring to mind. I *hate* movies where adults play kids, though isn’t Ashley Judd in the American Ring (I love her)? There were a couple scenes in the Japanese ring that disturbed me, and as I said, when she crawled out of the TV I literally climbed up the back of my sofa trying to get away, lol.

very nice pout…

she seems angry. Chairman, you forgot the “smile” part!

She’s probably been long the financials and short the USO for the last year.

@Jay: That is a smile; you should see her when she’s angry. :)

The hell you aren’t the father!

that expression on her face, dazed, knowing what we don’t, and at the same time letting us know that we will find out soon. That’s how I read it.

“That is a smile” ? Chairman, you need learn a new idiom - “母老虎”. ask her and be prepared to run fast!

Jay: This little de-clawed cub likes to be pawed.

Reminds me of the girl from The Ring…
No offense though. :)

fool: You’re right, but I’ve never seen her crawl out of a TV set (that bit freaked me out — Japanese version, never seen the American “Ring”).

When I first saw this girl, the word “waif” free-associated into my mind.
