I have been in a semi-cold turned fever induced early night bedrest and have FINALLY delved into Stieg Larssen's brilliant yet twisted Swedish trilogy series. Of course I have the books laying here on my dresser, which I have yet to read, and the Hollywood version has recently come out but wow, you all must see the original version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", "The Girl who Played with Fire" and "The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest", directed by Niel Arden Oplev. Subtitles are a must so they require your full attention you chatterboxes.
I mean, such originality, a shining cast, especially Noomi Rapace. She turned down the Hollywood version because she said that role was a very dark place for her and she did not think she could re-execute such darkness, morbidity, and crudeness. You can see her alongside Robert Downey Jr. in the recently released Ridley Scott movie "Prometheus". She is of Swedish and Spanish descent, is a beautiful girl in my opinion and extremely talented. I'm glad I finally saw them all. Now I must read them!
You all get to it!
