Its even better when you own one.

Hollywood is remaking a U.S. version.

Stupid, if ya ask me. The original rocked!]]>Jul 27th 2010 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/
What are you talking about?
The original came from Sweden.

As far as the remake goes ... I think David Fincher will do it justice. If it were some hack director, then I'd be more worried.]]>Jul 27th 2010 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/Jul 27th 2010 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/
So, what's the reason of making a Hollywood version of this triology...haven't heard of subtitles ? ]]>Jul 27th 2010 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/
The only saving grace is that Fincher has some vision]]>Jul 27th 2010 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/
Yes, I know the original came from Sweden. Maybe I should have said that Hollywood is making an English version?

@Tumbleweed & Meekermoloko

I didn't know that David Fincher was the director. Very well....I won't completely write the movie off sight unseen. ;)

And i've seen all 3 movies (yeah, I'm a masochist) so I got some idea.

As for the "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo", i've only seen the original movie. It was pretty decent. Therefore my statement stands ;)]]>Jul 27th 2010 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/
I've seen The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movie from Sweden.
I've seen the first Twilight movie too for some reason.

TGWTDT movie is far, far greater than the Twilight movie. I'm sure the books would have the same effect on me if I read more books.

Hence ... Dragons > Vampires.]]>Jul 27th 2010 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/Jul 27th 2010 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/
I know ... I was just making a comment on the films. I was writing it during the 2nd comment you made, so I didn't see that until after I posted.

I do know that books tend to be bastardized by movies sometimes. It's hard to condense a 600 page book down to a 2 and a half hour movie. So, both series of books are probably much better than the movies.]]>Jul 27th 2010 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/Aug 8th 2010 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/I'm glad that old commie bastard is dead anyway.]]>Jul 27th 2010 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/Jul 27th 2010 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/"Profanities"?

And yes, Stieg Larsson was an huge communist (Trotskyist more exactly). He even went to Ethiopia with money and weapons to help the marxist rebels there (the Eritrean People's Liberation Front). The same guys who later established the current dictatorship of Eritrea.

Larsson also dedicated his life to destroying other peoples life here in Sweden by following and back-talking every dissident he could find, through his job in newspapers.

So I'm glad he's dead. He was a bad man.
And not a good writer either, as far as I'm concerned.]]>Jul 27th 2010 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/Jul 27th 2010 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/stieg-larsson-becomes-the-first-author-to-sell-a-million-kindle/You could also forgo a computer and use pen and paper.
