Films

PS - Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Fincher) is alright in my opinion, bar a really questionable sequence where the titular girl puts on a blonde wig for purposes of international espionage. It also has the most bizarre title sequence... It really made no sense to me.

Yeah, the intro really jarred for me as well. Like a weird Bond, and really didn't sit with the scenes that preceded and followed.

I was pleasantly surprised by the film, I hadn't read the books or seen the originals, and because of their popularity I was expected something Dan Brown-esque, and I wouldn't have gone if it weren't for my friend's family offering to take me. I think I was a bit wrong, although admittedly I haven't read anything by Dan Brown or seen the Da Vinci Code either.

It took me a while to get used to the fact that it was in Sweden, adverts and shop signs were in Swedish, but the dialogue and letters between 'Swedish' characters in English. I know it's hard to get around that, but it still seemed clumsy somehow.
