I'm one of the minority who liked Fincher's version (of the first film) better. Rooney Mara as Lisbeth kicked it out of the park. Sadly, we'll never get to see her close it out.Finished off the Millennium Trilogy.
I still don't understand why Euro/scandi films need to be redone for the western world. Same with tv series, they just do it better.I'm one of the minority who liked Fincher's version (of the first film) better. Rooney Mara as Lisbeth kicked it out of the park.

Apparently they're making a film out of the 4th book Girl in the Spider's Web with while new cast.
I have to admit, I've always found it difficult to both read the subtitles and see what is going on in the frame. I mean it's not impossible ... but it's not the same as just letting the ears do their thing while the eyes soak up all those pixels.I still don't understand why Euro/scandi films need to be redone for the western world.

I'm not the biggest fan of nor watch any incarnation of The Office (there are 9), but given the US version is 9 seasons and over 200 episodes strong and broadcast into way more markets than any of the others ... I'd say it's success is greater than just domestic.Hell, look at their TV, the office, Kathy n Kim, Wilfred. Quite good, but very specific comedies. Very, very poorly translated into American, because they just don't understand the source material, they just see the success in the domestic market.
US television rights holders are notorious for forcing the purchase of unwanted programs by withholding the rights to sought after properties. Very similar to the MS DOS sales model IBM was duped into accepting.I'm not the biggest fan of nor watch any incarnation of The Office (there are 9), but given the US version is 9 seasons and over 200 episodes strong and broadcast into way more markets than any of the others ...

But I agree ... a lot of (or most) other US conversions have been very, very poor and suitably canned.
