beautiful!!
Really excited to see these on the big screen. If you are in LA, I highly recommend watching any of these great movies. My favorite ever is Castle in the Sky, but all are wonderful.
The Girl With the Drago Tattoo gives off a ripely kinky, menacing glow. It opens with psychedelic music-video credits, scored to Karen O’s caterwauling cover of Led Zeppelin’s ”Immigrant Song,” that set a mood of evil dipped in black rubber. That fanfare lets you know that the movie is going to have a sensuality and danger that the 2009 Swedish screen version, dutifully effective as it was, did not. Directed by the high-grunge master David Fincher (Zodiac, Se7en, The Social Network), the new Girl With the Dragon Tattoo sticks close to the spirit and most of the details of Stieg Larsson’s Swedish serial-killer novel, in which an officially disgraced left-wing journalist, Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig), is hired to investigate a homicide that has haunted an aristocratic family for 40 years. Larsson’s plot is nothing more (or less) than a clever conventional whodunit festooned with glimmers of depravity. Fincher, however, teases out the full mythological grandeur of the material. He’s not just a great director — he’s an artist with the eyes of a voyeur, and he has made The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo into an electrifying movie by turning the audience into addicts of the forbidden, looking for the sick and twisted things we can’t see.

Since @davechensky tweeted about how good the movie was, I watched it today with a group of friends. It was great. Please watch it!
The world of Pandora is so beautiful that people are getting all depressed that it isn’t real. Really. (via)
Legos + Matrix? It has to be awesome. As long as they don’t do the dance/orgy scene.

And by “shot-for-shot” I mean shot-for-effing-shot. More? See every last bit of the 440 hours that went into putting this masterpiece (see what I did there?) together here.
