Also the closest to the James Bond of the novels. Cold-blooded killer...but with style. [ Forgive me for saying this, Saint Sean, but it's true. You had more style, but you just didn't have that cold-blooded killer thang down. Craig does. ] > The torture scene was really hard to watch but really > loved the movie. The torture scene is in the original book. Which is something you can't say about a *lot* of the stuff in James Bond movies. I'm hoping they continue the franchise with Daniel Craig. He is a very interesting actor. Have you ever seen "Layer Cake?" Or "Sylvia," or "Defiance?" The man is a damned good actor. He is currently listed to be playing Mikael Blomkvist in the American remake of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." That, plus the fact that it's to be directed by David Fincher, make me want to see it. Plus, every mame actress under 30 in the whole world wanted to play Lizbeth. But all of them would have come to the role carrying the baggage of their former roles, and this would have diminished their chances of accomplishing an almost-impossible task: being in the acting universe as Noomi Rapace. The producers (or Fincher) made the right choice. They chose a relative unknown, Rooney Mara. I wish her luck. She has some big high-heeled combat boots to fill. Daniel Craig works for me as Blomqvist. > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "raunchydog" <raunchydog@> wrote: > > > > > > He leaps with ease from wall to wall > > > Doesn't stop to linger, > > > Consider risk of taking fall, > > > He clings by just one finger. > > > > > > Death defying, amazing feat, > > > His name the stars have writ. > > > Fortune, fame within his grasp, > > > His last words were, "Oh, shit!" > > > > > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PocMsI_mtWs > > > > > >
