A Date with Lisbeth Salander

At some point after arriving in NJ I discovered that the 3rd Millenium movie is showing in Red Bank, but I wasn't sure for how long. And Netflix is currently streaming the 2nd movie, but again not sure for how long. So I decided I needed a Lisbeth Salander binge. I couldn't fit them both in one day, but I did manage to see "The Girl Who Played with Fire" yesterday and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" today. Not sure why I liked those books so much, and the movies too. They are certainly not "fun" reading. I guess I just like a strong female character, and Lisbeth fits that description in spades.

I find reading subtitles takes a lot of work. Particularly since I'm always tuning in to the Swedish and seeing how it compares with the English translation. Very distracting when you are trying to follow the plot. Not sure if I'll see the American remakes, but I probably will. "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is to be released December 21, 2011.
