hey guys - its been a while - (like a year and some change) - but i hope to be a bit more active - like a weekend thing - i even checked the idle chat thread and i didnt even see a /i miss neon thread/ - but, anyways i know nothing about the books other than i think the covers look really cool - the trailer is great - its fast & loud - i agree w/the FEEL BAD MOVIE OF CHRISTMAS line being slick and one of the best parts, along w/trents immigrant noise

This is an 8-minute trailer, I don't know how much it gives away (I haven't watched) or if it's much more than what exists within the current trailers. Thought I'd show anyway. http://www.crazycritics.com/page/dragon-tattoo-8-minute-trailer

Dragon Tat takes a cue from Dumb & Dumber:

What did you think, 72teeth?

My thoughts: it was enjoyable, but the more I think about it, the less I like it.

Fincher's direction is strong and interesting, but I guess I just don't really care for the story and the whole thing is as much of a male sexual fantasy as any other movie, masquerading as a "girl power" story. I think people find Lisbeth Salander compelling because she's an active female character, which is shamefully rare in stories like this and in film in general, but I didn't feel that she was all that great or interesting as a character.

This is all just standard fare with above-average direction and a female lead that looks a bit different and is more active than we're used to seeing, which seems like a step in the right direction except that she ultimately ends up being just a different kind of impossible male sexual ideal, zooming around on her motorcycle, solving crimes, kicking bad dudes in the balls and having sex with the good dudes. The story/movie is problematic in that it wants to be pro-feminist by featuring an ideal woman who is so obviously invented, adapted for the screen, and directed by men.

Same here. It never quite lives up to the badassness of the trailer, and never really lives up to the mystery and suspense Zodiac did so well, everything kind of plays out before you can wonder about it... but it does definitely feel like the beginning of a great trilogy, lots of seeds for the Lisbeth/Mikael story are planted. And it definitely has that Fincher ascetic that sticks with you after the movie is over.

I never saw the originals so i was bummed that it didn't quite get into the 'Rosemary's Baby' evil family story that i thought i was in for, but that's on me...

again, i hope this is Fincher's Trilogy, because the best thing about it is how excited it made me for the third one, which it even hints at in the opening credits with shots of fire and hornets and a love between Lisbeth and Mikael that we only really see in one scene.

Winner: Me! They handed out badass exclusive posters before the show.
Super Winner: The guy who sat in front of me, who won one of the ultra rare metal blade posters.... that schmuck.
