In Missouri, G.O.P. Representative Jo Ann Emerson...
...movie hit on U.S. screens this fall is about a videotape that kills you when you watch it. But The Ring would not have earned more than $100 million in its first five weeks of North American release?would not have been made at all?if its executive producer hadn't watched a scary videotape from Japan...
