Character Driven…
I love unique characters. For some reason, I’m drawn to those who are distant, hard, often tattooed and out of control.
I know, I’m sick.
But it’s just awesome watching them change during the book/movie.
Now, I haven’t read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but when I saw this trailer:

I was HOOKED. The mystery of the story intrigues me, but more so, the girl! Tats, piercings, —and are her eyebrows shaved? She seems like my kind of character.
Have you guys read this book? Planning on watching the movie? Lots of great actors in it for sure!

I haven’t read the book but plan on seeing the movie. Once I get my Kindle Fire for Christmas I will download the book and read it. Looking forward to it!
Lynn Rush
I’m thinking I might have to read the book, too, now. 🙂

I tried reading the book but couldn’t get into it but I do plan to see the movie.
Lynn Rush
Couldn’t get into it, huh? Was it graphic? Boring? Okay. I’m thinking I need to read it first.

It seemed to start off slow and I can’t handle that in a book. I really tried to read it but got bored and never made it to the good parts it sounds like! lol
Lynn Rush
OH. I hate when books start off slow. 🙁

Lynn from what I saw the movie is a little to dark for my taste.
Lynn Rush
It does look pretty dark.

I saw the original Swedish version of the movie. Good but it was disturbing.
Lynn Rush
Oh, boy. Disturbing….I’m intrigued. Maybe I should read first then see….
Jillian
Can’t wait to see it!
Lynn Rush
Me either. 🙂 Though I’m getting a bit worried it might be pretty graphic.
Kendall Grey
Ain’t nothing sick about any of that! I haven’t read the book either (shocking!), but husband is about 100 pages from the end and LOVES it. I’m sure we’ll see the movie at some point.
Lynn Rush
LOL, Kendall. Well, you can say that cuz you’re a writer, we’re all a bit sick. LOL!!!!!

I read the book and watched the European movie of this. I would NOT recommend that movie. The book for one scene was graphic enough. I’m assuming the American version will be tamed down. I HOPE. It really disturbed me to the point I couldn’t read the rest of the series.
Lynn Rush
Graphic, huh? Hmmmmm…..Can’t “skim” in a movie like you can in a book, you know? Thanks for sharing, Ciara. 🙂

I haven’t read the books, not sure they’re my thing and the subtitles put me off the Swedish films so I might see it. Like how they’ve styled her though!
Lynn Rush
Yes. She’s unique looking, isn’t she? That’s what intrigued me. 🙂
Amy Deardon
Lynn, not sure I want to see this, but if you do would love to hear what you think. Hey, congrats with your writing! Amy
Lynn Rush
Thanks for stopping by, Amy!!! I think we’re going to see it for Cinema Sound Off…. 🙂
