Dreamworks' Ring

[drainer@mpinet.net]

   I went to the theater tonight and surprisingly enough, mysterious ads for
Ring are showing up.
   Ultimately, I think its status will be determined by the amount of
advertising that is done... (i.e., look at "Transporter," which was supposed
to come out last week, yet bad marketing got it delayed)
It might turn out to be ok... if it's a "remake" in the sense of Vanilla
Sky, I think it'll be ok.
