Juon Movie Series question (1 Viewer)

[Daren Welsh]

I'd like to watch Juon and the sequels and US remakes, but I'm not sure what all is out there and I haven't yet found a site to spell it all out. There's Juon, then Juon 2 ... then something about "The Grudge". Is that the same as Juon 2, or is that strictly the US remake title?

Okay, first off there is Ju-on: The Curse, followed by Ju-on: The Curse 2. Those are the first two films, and were made for TV. Then came Ju-on: The Grudge, a theatrical film, and the most popular entry, though I personally consider The Curse to be the best of them all. Following it was Ju-on: The Grudge 2. The American remake is a remake of Ju-on: The Grudge.

Four Japanese films, and now the remake.

Thanks ... so I take it the TV movies aren't available on DVD?

 

[Brian Thibodeau]

The TV movies are on DVD, R2 from Japan, but with no English subs.

oh boy ... boku wa ni nen kara nihongo wo benkyo shiteimashita, demo nihongo wo kiku no ga totemo muzukashi dayo!

Gee, let me guess,

Nihongo-ga wakarimas-ka?

Watashi-wa Nihongo-ga wakari-mas. Demo, mada, jozu-ja dimasen.

And I never really know when not to use hyphens, so forgive the choppiness.

Hai. Watashi wa nihongo o wakarimasu ga, jouzu dewanai.

"Yes. I understand Japanese but I'm not very good [at it]."

previously, "I have been studying Japanese for two years, but listening to Japanese is very difficult (trying to say 'listening comprehension')."

The only time I've really used a hyphen is for something like "O-genki desu ka?" I'm not claiming to be an expert by any means, though.
