The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?

Hi. I saw the preview before Paranormal Activity 3. I had no idea what it was about, but it almost gave me a panic attack because loud noises do that when I’m stoned.

Also I almost had an anxiety attack because of The Devil Inside trailor. Bible, no lie, I had to cover my eyes like a child. It was too much. All of a sudden I realized that there was a 60 pound weight in my chest area and that exhaling was apparently a thing of the past and was never going to come into my life again, and so I had to cover my eyes and remind myself that it was just a movie.

I digress. The trailer The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo told me absolutely nothing about the movie, but was weirdly fucked up, confusing and a little beautiful which is everything I like in a film.

Is the book worth reading? All along I assumed this was some Harry Potter/Twilight shit, neither of which I can tolerate.

so-this-happened answered: Not like Twilight/Harry Potter.Just watched the original versions, pretty cool. I don’t understand why there’s an American remake though?
alabasterfriendship answered: Yes. It’s a trilogy but, and you have to read all of them. Don’t watch the original Swedish movies.
thewritebite answered: Amazing books… nothing like hp or twilight
maletz answered: yes. if you are down with serial killers.
ambresonn answered: Oh my god. I saw the preview stoned and it did the same. It’s just way too much to handle, but it’s SICK.
samstars said: I was severely disappointed with it. I knew nothing about it before reading it but I didn’t expect all the hype to mean so little.
wellisntthatsomething answered: it’s nothing like that. if you want strong female characters and commentary on the status of women in society it’s great. it’s a solid series
sinteauh answered: read the books.its too much to describe what its all about but its worth it. the swedish films were amaizng. the american remake is bs.

allnightdiner answered: the book is good, nothing like harry potter/twilight. the 2nd and 3rd books in the trilogy are okay. not a hard read & pretty entertaining.

theaccomplishedcoquette answered: the first book is great - the second two are kind of meh. No worries, they are nothing remotely similar to twilight or Harry Potter
maudreliafinn answered: I would see it for the score/soundtrack, which was done by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails (he scored the Social Network)
yoursideofthecouch answered: shut up and read harry potter, jesus christ
kiamatthews answered: First of all you shut your mouth about Harry Potter. Secondly, stop everything and go watch the original (on Netflix). Such a great film.
partiallycommitted answered: great series. if you read one, you should def read all three.
sea-gee answered: put on the first movie one night out of boredom and had to immediately watch the other two. now reading them-actually prefer the films so far
aaamerah answered: it’s interesting
oolaliz said: The books are translated from Swedish so the writing is a little clunky, and the author is always telling you exactly what people are eating for dinner and people think that is boring, but I think what people put on their sandwiches is FASCINATING
sixohthree answered: the beginning is kind of slow, giving background and character info but after that it is awesome! definitely recommended.
sheexplainsitall answered: The books are terrible. Really, truly terrible. I don’t know why they are so fucking popular because they are horribly written.
thatsmyrabbit answered: Definitely NOT HP/Twi shit. Very fucked up. Very worth reading. Eye-opening. Terrifying.
notjusthealthy said: OH, and the first movie is definitely the best of the triology. If you’re pressed for time before the American version comes out, don’t worry about seeing all 3.
notjusthealthy answered: See the Swedish triology- the films are mind-bendingly beautiful. Can’t speak for the books, but I only hear good things. (NOTHING LIKE HP)
different-exotic-fishes answered: The book is written horribly. Really clunky and obvious. The Swedish film is amazing though! Actually, wonderfully amazing.

prophetess-of-doom answered: Definitely worth reading. Also, see the original Swedish films.
allimuffin answered: Read the book if you like serial killer stories, government conspiracies, or badass heroines. Takes some patience at first, then gets crazy.
itsjustmeemily answered: The books are all absolutely amazing and nothing like Harry or Twilight. It’s great adult, mystery fic. Read ‘em & then watch the originals.
taimeothy answered: It’s a total page turner. Like porn for feminists or something. But entertaining.
edifict answered: THEY’RE GREAT the whole series will take you three days and the first book takes FOREVER to get going but yeah, plan to do nothing else.
morefunthanbeingsad said: The book is great. The title of the original Swedish version was ‘Men who hate women’. The author died under suspicious circumstances before any of the books in the Trilogy were published, the whole back story is pretty interesting. Check the wikiped
p2c2e answered: the book is slow going but worth the read will make you hungry they are always eating. id sgst watching the swedish movie it has a bttr feel.
nastyinthepasty answered: the book is definitely worth a read if you like mysteries at all

About Wait, what.

I'm really embarrassed about blogging. You would think I would quit this, but I can't. It's like that movie about that gay cowboy and that other gay cowboy and how they want to quit each other, but they can't. It's like that with me and my blog. We're just two metaphorical gay cowboys who don't have the ability to quit each other. Except my blog doesn't have the ability to quit me, so it's even more depressing. It's just me, one metaphorical gay cowboy, not being able to quit an inanimate object. I'm not gay and I'm not a cowboy, but I think you get what I mean. Heath Ledger was so hot in that movie. I write for a hip, cool site over at HelloGiggles because I am a hip, cool person. Just kidding. I don't know why they asked me to write for them. I'm also an LOL tag editor for Tumblr, so that is also a fact about me. You're welcome!

If you're into it, you can start by reading my posts about Mrs. Coco T, pleasure yourself to Super Close-Ups of Christopher Meloni, or really get to the root of how much of a mess I am by reading about Things That Shouldn't Give Me Anxiety, But Do. Or like, whatever. Just do whatever. I don't know how to do blogs. I don't know what you're here for.
