Agreed; I think that's what he was implying Keaton.

Please note that that doesn't stop you from being downright awesome period.

Thank you

But I believe he's saying that the best American horror movies are Japanese ones. Which is simply not true. I'll let him respond *nod nod* (ooh, I wanna go to Wales!)

See, I think almost the opposite. I think some of the worst American horror movies are remakes of Japanese one.

despite not seeing any of the remakes, I'm still inclined to agree; i haven't seen them because i have absolutely no need or want to see them; they simply look dire

but eh, I'm not the biggest cinema fan; i don't see new films all to often

The color of the sala flower reveals the truth that is... To flourish is to fall. The proud do not endure.

Heaven or Hell, Let's Rock!

Like a passing dream on a night in Spring. The mighty fall at last, to be no more than dust before the wind.

The only Japanese horror movie that was scary to me was -Audition.
