Hi.

Because of a slight flaw in my eye sight, I find it uncomfortable reading
subtitles. This means that I have previously not been able to enjoy much of
the best of far eastern cinmema - The Grudge, Dark Water etc etc. When they
bought out an English language Ring, therefore, I was exstatic. Oh dear.
Was that ever a bad film. So, being put off American remakes of classy
eastern movies, I have not bothered with Buffy's Grudge, and will probably
not try Jennifer Connolly's Dark Water next month either.

Now, here's the thing. I note, with interest, that Play are doing the DTS
version of the original Grudge.

On this page it says that the film has both Japanese and English language
audio, presumably the latter is dubbed.

Point being, has anyone seen this version of Juon, with the English language
audio rather than the english subtitles, and is it any good? Also, which do
you think is going to be better to watch, the superior original but with a
dubbed language track, or the Geller remake, which might stink, but was
always meant to be acted in English? Just a thought, with it being
Halloween next week. Thanks.
