That picture of Mr. Daniel Craig from Casino Royale will NEVER get old. Craig plays the intrepid journalist in the American adaption of that book you’ve seen everyone on the subway reading for the past five years. Seriously, you would think that Stieg Larsson was the only writer that mattered ever. Even J.K. Rowling is throwing his dead ass a jealous side-eye. Yeah, he’s deceased. Isn’t that sad? Just as famed director David Fincher has brought his book to the silver screen.
There’s already a European movie version of the book (check it out, it’s pretty good) but of course Americans have to do it bigger and better. And hopefully their version of bigger and better will include nudity on the part of Daniel. He has that sensitive thug thing going on that makes my underwear feel tighter. I wasn’t the only one with a stiffie during the ball thwacking scene, right? No, not because of the sadism, because he was tied to a chair naked! Pervs.

Is he a grower?
Why make an American version that soon when the original trilogy is still fresh. Definitely people in the US don’t like to read subtitles.
Do you have a brain?
The European version of the book was a pretty poor adaptation. Hopefully the Hollywood version will be more true.
wasn’t sure if I would like James “Blond”, but after seeing Casino Royale, changed my mind
The trilogy by Stieg Larsson are terrific and I was unable to put them down. The film version of Dragon Tattoo from Sweden is an excellent adaptation, as are the films The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest. The Swedish actress, Noomi Rapace, who plays Lisbeth Salander in all three films should have beaten Natalie Portman at the Oscars this year; she is that good!! Give them a chance.
Very much disagree. Dragon Tattoo was a very poor adaptation. They were too many changes made that would not have had any impact at all on the outcome of the movie but were made anyway. It was almost as if they wrote the film script based on Cliff Notes. Did you really watch the book and watch the same movie I did?
Daniel Craig is my one super celebrity fantasy ( i know, me and a million others!)
I’m with you, DeWitt (I guess). I was totally into that ball smashing scene for the same reason. A naked DC strapped to a chair…YUM. The scene gave me the willies too because…again ball smashing. I would have been all too happy to come in to comfort him and his package between shots (and maybe get a shot…just saying…DC is fucking hot!).
I think the Swedish movies are quite okay, not the best but okay.
What English-speakers really have missed out on though is the book. Honestly, the original books written in Swedish are much better than the English ones. But they are still pretty good.
(Kinda goes for any book though, original language is almost always better than any translation.)
