No, siphilis is what I was referring to - as far back as 2004, it was an issue - as shown in this article: http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/arti...004/7/7/222947.shtml | |

This siphilis outbreak is pretty major because I just heard the other day on NPR a report on how siphilis has developed and mutated to be resistant to all but one anti-biotic. There's a lot of encouragement for pharmaceutical companies to work on new anti-biotics as well as a lot of encouragement for doctors to stop prescribing anti-biotics in anywhere near the frequency that they have been in the last few decades. If this becomes a major outbreak, it could be quite difficult to get a handle on. | |

There is wide-spread adherence to the shut-down - and a lot of scorn being heaped on any productions that go forward during the requested shut-down. This might be an opportunity to see even more top female porn talent on the various cam sites, since they won't be able to make money having actual sex and few of them are likely to drop into their local strip clubs to dance. | |

Where IS the staff feedback going? I've received e-mail from staff, but not for quite a while, to my knowledge, and I rarely check that e-mail account. | |

I'm not really interested in seeing cam girls break down - that, to me, is what too many guys WANT to see - it's like the schmucks who were so excited that they got Tanner Mayes to have a kiniption a couple of years ago, like that was some fucking achievement on their part. There are pretty funny things that happen at cam shows. Priscilla, a cute 18-year-old Phil-Flash model a number of years ago, was doing a cam show WHILE SHE WAS AT WORK at her straight job - and her boss came in the office and she's naked interacting with the cam show audience. He obviously figured out what was going on within seconds and just told her, "Get dressed - we have to talk!" She was just tongue-tied, though less freaked out than one would expect. All in all, that was pretty fucking funny. | |

ALS Scan has extensive behind-the-scenes material, though it hasn't been a major focus of the site lately. I suspect that they made modifications based on member feedback. | |

There is no doubt that some guys go on cam shows just to make the models feel bad. Various sites deal with that in various ways. Some have mods that kick out the bad guys ASAP. Some models develop a vicious streak where they'll tear the bad guys to shreds and smile while doing so. One of the funnies things I ever saw was Karen Dreams destroying a guy that had come into her cam show to fuck with her, then turning around and pulling out a championship boxing belt from the bureau behind her and waving it over her head. Even models that seem to have thick skins often find camming quite bruising and will talk about that quite a bit in situations where they feel safe. Other models with thinner skins quit camming in order to avoid the abuse. I like sexy cam shows - mainly the ones that come with a site - but I don't like a lot of the people that go to them. | |

I suppose that there are people that don't get erotically aroused unless they are emotionally involved, but I would say that is a very small portion of the population, so, yes, sex without love is entirely possible and, I would think, goes on most of the time, for all the reasons mentioned by others. | |

Very true - It's never bothered me, and their site "works" better than many sites that have better design, but it's not an attractive up-to-date website and MetArt's websites are - and they "work" | |

Apropos of this topic, ALS Scan and Met Art have announced a partnership: "MetArt Takes Over Management of ALSScan Posted Jul 12th, 2012 12:41 PM LOS ANGELES—MetArt has announced that it has formed a partnership with ALSScan.com to take over management of its primary website and affiliate properties. ALSScan.com joins the current collection of sites in the MetArt Network that includes MetArt.com, SexArt.com, TheLifeErotic.com, Errotica-Archives.com, and EroticBeauty.com. In addition, affiliates of ALSCash.com now will become affiliates of MetArtMoney where ALSScan.com promotional tools and content will be housed. This move provides affiliates with a massive catalog of new promotional materials and affiliate support. MetArt plans to relaunch ALSScan.com with a new tour and redesigned members area that will continue to offer original high-quality ALSScan content and frequent new content additions while bringing new style, convenience and better conversions to the site. "This is a win-win for MetArt and ALSScan alike," said Jill Taylor, vice president of marketing at MetArt. "ALSScan in an industry legend with amazing, unique content that has been in demand for more than a decade. This partnership will extend the MetArtMoney site offerings with content that meets our high standards and expands our niches." ALSScan was launched in 1996 and has long been a leading provider of solo-girl content featuring the industry's top models and serves a wide variety of niches. MetArt, founded in 1999, is a top site for erotic art online. MetArt's market-leading creative, technical, and marketing expertise will allow ALSScan to reach a vast new audience and deliver its amazing content to the world like never before. "ALSScan is very pleased to join the MetArt family," said Alex, CEO of ALSScan. "This new partnership will allow us to focus more on the production end, while we let the marketing experts at MetArt handle all of our promotions and advertising. This will enable us to improve our product and expand our productions into new and exciting areas. The folks at MetArt are a great group of people and we really enjoy working with them. With the launch of SexArt.com earlier this year, the purchase, redesign and integration of Errotica-Archives into the MetArtMoney affiliate program, and the complete relaunch of EroticBeauty (formerly MetModels.com), MetArt is expanding at a rapid pace with additional enhancements scheduled for the coming months. For additional information on promoting or partnering with the MetArt Network, contact Jill Taylor at jill@metart.com." Good for them - that's 2 very high quality sites, in my opinion | |

Yes - as per my post earlier in the thread, the "shooting drugs into the penis" method had produced a number of bad results - and over a long enough period of time that you wonder why people still use it. But I guess if you're being offered enough money for a scene and you don't feel that you'll be able to perform with it, then it's worth it to take the risk rather than practicing saying, "Would you like fries with that?" | |

There are the guys that have a strong libido mixed with good mental and physical skills to have enough control to let themselves get turned on without allowing themselves to cum until they've been allowed to. And those are the guys that last for years and are most relied on. Then you've got the guys that rely on pills and there's some really dangerous shit that you can shoot into your penis. But that shit is apparently really dangerous and even veterans that have tried that on occasion have wound up with extended periods of impotence after a shot that went bad or a vein bursts or the penis gets hard but winds up pointing side-ways or some other fucked-up shit. The drug guys don't last, they guys with the physical and mental skills do. | |

They get the affiliate fees, but they also get the advertising. Has anybody ever seen a single page on a Tube site that wasn't completely filled up with advertising? They're not paying for content, they're only paying for the bandwidth/server fees and legal fees, and they're raking in the bucks off advertising and probably some affiliate fees by horndogs they've turned on with the crappy vids they have. | |

Really? What did they do wrong? The final breaking point was the AIM Clinic's insistence on maintaining confidentiality as to their client list, but it was pretty clear that the city's AIDS administrators fully intended to close down the industry's clinics and implement this rule. It wasn't any fair process. | |

The guys at Manwin are pretty smart - not all that ethical, but smart. They started with tube sites, I believe, and made a ton of money off the advertising, while lowering the value of pay-sites. Then they went on a buying spree. They now own Brazzers, Twisty's, Reality Kings, Digital Playground, approx 1/3 of Playboy Enterprises, some portion of Wicked - or perhaps they just get the fees for running the website. They might also now own FTV Girls, but I'm not sure about that. Kind of amazing! | |

I saw "Savages" this week. I agree with reviewers that are calling it Oliver Stone's first must-see in years. It's WAY over the top. I read it as Oliver Stone's "fuck you, you young whippersnapper!" to Quentin Tarantino. There are amazing scary funny performances by Benecio Del Torro & Salma Hayek as the lead bad guys. And Stone gets to work out his love of mixed media in a way that fits the story with lots of web-cam footage, etc. | |

Actually, the word is that Riley Steele did her video the day after Bibi's to make fun of Bibi. Riley has not quit, according to DP. Bibi, on the other hand, quit 2 days before she was supposed to feature dance at my fave local strip club. And even though she was posting smiling laughing pics of herself on Twitter at her pool in AZ yesterday afternoon, she didn't even call the club to tell them that she wasn't going to show, even though she had talked to them the previous Friday and nailed down the final details, like the hotel they booked for her. That's pretty lame. I can understand that she had an emotional breakdown when she quit, but to not have the professionalism to even make phone calls to people you made commitments to a few days before after you're over the whole emotional whirlpool is just BS. | |

Fellatio is hot, but the main thing to me is a sense of sexy play - titty-fucks can be very exciting, especially if the girl looks like she's enjoying giving one and butt-cleave stimulation is very exciting as well as giving lots of opportunity for sexy fun teasing, which is for me the real source of the dick-stiffening. | |

"Porn's version of Nascar, fast, interesting, and with unpredictable wrecks." Very true - you've got the non-nude models that finally have a nip-slip or forget where their hands are for a few seconds - or where mesh top thinking that any fabric at all means that their nips are invisible or they have some drinks and don't give a crap. Or you have the girls that do shows when they have the flue and drink too much Nyquil and just flat-out fall asleep - believe me, it's happened. Or you have the girls who just have affection for the guys that come and play with them and encourage them to express their sexuality in whatever geeky, sexy way occurs to them at the moment. | |

Is there any way to know for 100% sure? No. The models are getting real money, from what they say. If that were going on, cam models would be talking about it on twitter in about 2 seconds, because they talk about EVERYTHING on twitter, so a site doing that would be exposed fairly quickly. The reality is that there are enough guys willing to toss their money at nekkid women that there is no reason for cam sites or strip clubs or other such businesses to rely on "tip-fluffers". The suggestion gets raised by people that can't believe that real customers behave that way, but they do, in fact, behave that way. | |

The girls doing the Gold Shows tend to be pros, so they tend to have excellent cams, which means vid quality is great. And, since it's stated before hand exactly how much for exactly how long, there's not much temptation to spend more - and certainly no begging by the models for you to give more than the stated price. | |

I've shaken my head in amazement at the amount that I've seen guys tip some of these cam girls in "free" chat at MFC. Some cam girls - Sammie Rhodes, comes especially to mind - are brilliant at engaging with guys, teasing them, encouraging them, playing with them and getting them to tip huge amounts of money as a result. If people are having fun, I'm nobody to criticize them for it. I find the best deals in cam are at Cam-models aka Streamate, where the cam girls do set-price "Gold" shows so that it's clearly stated what the price is, how long the show is, etc, and you're not thinking the whole time, "Damn, how many minutes is it now and how much is it per minute? How much have I spent so far?", etc. Last night Lupe Fuentes, looking more ravishing than I've ever seen her before, did a fabulous 9-minute "Gold" show for $3. She didn't start until she had 100 guys sign up and more guys were joining all through the show, so I'm sure she did quite well for herself, though the pre-show "selling" of the show was probably not a lot of fun for her. | |

With all due respect, Pat, I doubt that any of us that have not worked for any porn sites as models have any basis to say what companies are good or better to work for as models. We can read what we read, but until we cash a check or have the work experience, we really have only the vaguest idea what it's like to work for these sites. | |

Interesting read. Thanks for the link, Pat. It sounds like, if the cam girls have to work from home, that the only ones that will be able to do so are the ones that have built their own home dungeon, from what Holloway describes, anyway. | |

The various cam sites give various percentages to the models. I doubt that any cam site gives a salary to models that are not working for the site doing PR, etc. Aaliyah Love has been in the cam biz for a long time and if you listen to her or Misty Gates talk about the biz, you'll hear them mention the percentages they get. It might not seem like a lot when you hear the percentages, but both of them do very well for themselves and neither is on cam for very many hours. Of course, you have to put up with the endless procession of weirdos spouting their obsessions - and often spouting endless abuse at the models. Dawn Avril was practically shuddering recently after having done 2 private shows - 1 with a guy who wanted her to watch him fucking himself up the ass with a dildo on his cam and encourage him to do so - and another with a guy that wanted her to fuck herself with a big black dildo while spouting crap about how his tiny little dick couldn't compared to the ni***r cock that she was getting. I'm sure the people that run the cam sites are raking the money in hand over fist. They mainly have to pay for the hosting servers, I would imagine. | |

Would anybody complain if there were no BTS material? I seriously doubt it. BTS material is a bonus. It can be cool to get more of a sense of the real personality of the performers and if done a certain way, you can learn what goes on in a real porn shoot. If done accurately, you'll learn that what goes on for many people is a lot of standing around while the tech people do all their stuff - like any kind of shoot. But unless a site is advertising as being heavy on the BTS, having it replace non-BTS material is a serious negative in my book. It says, "We're not doing anything new that we're proud of so we're just going to fill up the site with all the stuff that we never would have posted when we were actually doing good stuff." ALS Scan posts a fair amount of BTS material - but they post SO MUCH new non-BTS material that they can post whatever they please, in my opinion, and people can just ignore what they don't like and have no reason to complain about the site not living up to its main reason for existing. | |

The last comment is where I disagree with you, Pat. It's a matter of taste and I find the "swerve" refreshing. There are limits. If a site or series had a certain theme and gave it up, I wouldn't be into it. Robbie D had a series of DVD's for Digital Playground called Control, for instance. Control can mean lots of different things and the first DVD under that name was very cool in having various aspects of the term, including a crazy hot scene where Lannie Barbie is a kidnap victim - it seems. But by the time Control 2 came out, it was watered down and went further south from there to where it became a series with no theme - just whatever scenes Robbie D hadn't put into his other DVD's. So that was boring, since they weren't even particularly great scenes and there became nothing at all to pay attention to. But a single "I'm too tiny to do anal" scene on an anal site - that's cool, in my opinion and goes up against the cookie cutter nature of the current state of porn. | |

This question was brought to mind by one of the hottest scenes I've seen on Anal Teen Angels - an adorable little blonde called Ioana (those Eastern Europeans sure like their vowels!) When I saw her pic, I was wondering how such a tiny little thing was going to do anal and she was paired with a guy who, while not a giant, was a strapping young stud. When he attempted anal for a few seconds, she said, "I don't think I'm going to be able to do it" and he contented himself in fucking her hot little pussy. She fingered her asshole for a minute or so, but that was as much anal as there was in the scene. Kudos to 21st Sextury for putting it up, because I think it's one of the hottest scenes on that site. I'm sick of the "well, we call it this so we have to do this" mentality of much of the world of porn. Sometimes doing something that many would think of as more "vanilla" is sexier. Your thoughts? | |

Bobcat Goldthwait - I'm not a big fan, but one day I was out of town with a friend who had on the Comedy Channel on the hotel TV. Goldthwait was on and blew me the fuck away. He had me roaring with some of the most savagely-pointed comedy this side of George Carlin. When he's in the zone, he can be amazing. | |

I quite like women with tiny nipples, but I was no advocate of Karla surgically fucking with hers. I doubt that you would find many guys that like tiny-nipple babes that like the look when accomplished through surgery. I don't know who goes out and convinces women with long pussy lips that they should get them clipped or women with large areolas that they should get them fucked with - it's pretty fucking weird. | |

Yeah, that areola reduction thing is bad news. Karla Lopez aka Karla Spice got that and it caused her enhanced boobs to look like franken-tits with scarring all around the areola. I doubt they had any sensitivity for her after that surgery. | |

That's cool. Why a tablet? Because they're light and can easily be taken anywhere. I find on my job that I travel someplace, carry my laptop that my job issued me - all 10 lbs of the damned thing - get to where I'm going, open it up and Pffffffft, the battery goes dead. On the other hand, my kindle is completely reliable and everybody I know who has an ipad or other tablet loves them and finds them completely reliable. So if I can have something to read and watch movies on and bring to work meetings with a spreadsheet when I'm traveling that I can open and easily access when I need it and take pictures when I want to - the camera in the ASUS is reported as top-notch - then I'll be quite happy. And it plugs into a base that gives it the characteristics of a lap-top. I'd leave the base in my hotel room when traveling and have that option when I'm in the room. | |

It pays to hang onto raffle winnings until you really want to use them. I suspected that I had raffle winnings that I hadn't used, but I've got a brain like a sieve and hadn't really kept track. I had the e-mails, I knew where they were when I wanted them. I've been thinking for a while about getting a tablet and the Asus Transformer Prime has been quite well-reviewed. So I loaded up my cart at Amazon and started mining for unused raffle winnings. Before I got done, my total out-of-pocket expenses for the tablet I wanted with all the accessories was approx $275 - I Love It! Thank you, PU/TBP! | |

"every movie released in the last year has had a 3D version." That's a pretty major exaggeration. I would bet that if you actually looked at how many films were made in the past 12 months, the percentage of those films with 3d versions would be 2-5% or so. It's a fad and another way for studios to try to herd audiences into theaters. The most unique 3D film I saw was Wim Wender's "Pina", about the German dance company director/choreographer Pina Bausch. It was very cool to see 3D technology being used for reasons other than "schtick", and I've been fascinated by Pina Bausch since I first heard of her work when there was a major international arts festival in LA to coincide with the 1984 Olympics. Bausch's company did a few dates, if I remember correctly, and the LA Times arts critic was head-over-heels in love with what they were doing and wrote about it extensively - so even though I was broke at that time and didn't get a chance to see her work in person, the writing about it made it stick with me so much that when I saw the film, I felt that I knew a bit about it. I absolutely love German art from that period - films by Wenders, Herzog, & Fassbinder especially - because the subject matter was very basic and very deep - What does it mean to be human? Because if people could do what Germans did in the Nazi era, then they were very curious and dangerous creatures. Being raised Jewish and with the understanding that the holocaust was the worst thing that human beings had ever done, I definitely was into seeing that subject explored - and post-war German and Japanese film-makers and dance artists did so in the most powerful ways that I've seen anybody do. Anyway, if you get a chance to see "Pina" in 3D, it's well worth seeing, quite funny in many parts, very disturbing in others. RIP Pina Bausch, who passed away during the making of the film. | |

The last thing I need is to wade around in that kind of cesspool. Thanks for the warning. | |

Tanner's got TERRIBLE skin - not that uncommon for adult models, if you get a chance to see pics that aren't photo-shopped - Riley Reid, Sarah Peachez, etc - but she is hot as hell. And the JM Productions people have been a group of fucking assholes for years - check out the box-cover description of their "Violation of Kate Frost" vid/DVD where it bragged about how upset Kate was by the scene. Honorable porn producers care about the well-being of their cast. Dishonorable fucking asshole piece-of-shits use the fact that they can upset 19/20 year old girls as a marketing tool. I'd like to slam my fist into the faces of those jag-offs! | |

That last point is very much being made in the film - the clip I heard spot-lighted when I heard an interview with the film-maker was one where a school counselor or principal, I forget which, was berating a victim of bullying for not whole-heartedly embracing the apology by the bully, not being willing to shake their hand or declare that bygones are bygones. The kid, reasonably enough, kept on saying, "I don't want to have anything to do with him. I don't want to touch him! I don't want him to touch me!" and the adult was refusing to listen to anything the kid was saying. Adults frequently ARE the problem and they frequently force bullied kids into situations that the bullied kids know beforehand are dangerous for them, then declare it to be the kids' fault for their poor attitude. Then it's some kind of fucking mystery when kids that don't see any other way out take their life at the age of 13. | |

There have been very few movies rated NC-17 that have gotten any kind of distribution - and I'm not aware of any in the last decade that were rated NC-17 and did any kind of business in theaters. Mainly film-makers want PG-13 ratings if they are doing things that are at all risque because they lose so much of the audience as soon as a film is rated R. One of the most outrageous current examples of how out-dated and flat-out stupid the ratings are is that there is a new documentary about bullying in junior high and high school called "Bully" was given an R rating - they insisted that the language had to be censored to give the film a PG-13 rating - and all the objectionable language was being said by young kids - and this isn't a "Kids" style exploitation film. Apparently the film-maker elected to release it without any rating and different theater groups are handling it differently. This article talks about it: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2...y-regal-cinemas.html | |

Did they even make the later parts of Atlas Shrugged? I heard that the first part did so terribly, financially, that even with the Tea Party being whipped up to go see it, that there was doubt as to whether the later parts would be finished. I haven't seen the first part, might watch it on cable if it shows up some day. The most un-intentionally hilarious movie I ever saw as The Fountainhead - I was just howling laughing when I saw it. I saw Hunger Games yesterday - "Eh" is mainly how I would sum up my feelings about it. The lead actress playing Katniss is the best thing about it - for a young actress to make her dead-eye determination believable was a real feat. In regard to the NPR's commentator's concern about Hunger Games glamorizing violence by toning it down, I think Hunger Games glamorized the violence by having a definite heroine as the focal point - so you really didn't mind that the other kids were dying so that she could live, unlike Battle Royale where there was no individual focal point - but no American movie aiming for mass appeal would dare do anything as bold as having no hero/heroine to root for. One thing is for sure - movie theater operator's having got to be head-over-heels loving the movie. I went to a theater that is no longer the top multiplex pick in the area. They were showing the film on 3 screens and selling out or filling every screening - and it seemed to be doing even better with a female hero than a male one, since boys could get into the action while girls HAD to come see a girl get to be an action star. I'll probably wait for the follow-ups to hit cable to see them. | |

I heard an interesting piece on NPR the other day, comparing "Hunger Games" with the Japanese film "Battle Royale". I had been turned onto "Battle Royale" a few years ago in an interview with Quentin Tarantino - it's a really powerful film made by a director who, as a teenager, worked in a factory during WW II where part of his job was going around with a wheelbarrow after bombing raids to collect body parts. The commentator was worrying that, by toning down the violence, "Hunger Games" might wind up glamorizing it while "Battle Royale"s intense violence was anything but. Suzanne Collins claims to not have been aware of "Battle Royale" when she did her book, but there are so many similar themes and plot points that she ought to just admit that she had seen it and took off from those themes and plot points with her own vision, which is a completely legitimate thing to do. I plan on seeing "Hunger Games" tomorrow. I'm quite looking forward to it. | |

Interestingly, I just saw a promo of a new site being developed by the people behind MetArt called SexArt. It was a 2-girl scene that reminded me of X-Art or Twisty's girl/girl vids more than it did MetArt's style. It's definitely something to look forward to, considering MetArt's quality AND generosity of updates. | |

First of all, the release date of the film was March 9, so it will have been out 2 weeks tomorrow. Secod of all, far from this "loss of $200 million" being some back-stabbing figure put out by some out-to-get-the-film websites, that figure was put out by Disney, the studio that put out the film, after looking at the film's global performance with 9 days data in the world market. Disney has put out a film or 2 over the past several decades, and I'm sure that they've got their projection methods pretty well honed. They also have a few balls spinning in the air, and taking a write-down of $200 million on one piece of their fiscal pie is probably not such a negative thing to do, since it cuts against their tax bill, etc. Hell, Terry Gilliam had to fight like mad to get Brazil released because the studio that had the rights to it was going to just junk it and take the entire cost of the film as a tax write-off - and they would have been quite happy to have done so. | |

Unless you're really only interested in bigger-boob models, I would whole-heartedly recommend ALS Scan way over ALS Angels. ALS Angels is geared to bigger-boob and older models than ALS Scan, and given the actual preferences of Alex, the owner, photographer, etc, of the site, the smaller-boobed babes are who he's really most interested in. So the # of models, the quality of models, the volume of updates, the quality of the work, etc are all magnified on the ALS Scan site, which also has ALL of their Caribbean trip material, which is among the best girl-girl material you'll ever see anywhere. So, yeah, if you're choosing between the 2, I recommend ALS Scan, by a mile! | |

While that's true, the analysis like this: "Disney said “John Carter” has brought in about $184 million in ticket sales worldwide so far. But ticket sales are split roughly in half with theater owners. The movie’s production budget is estimated to be about $250 million with about $100 million more spent on marketing." $350 million - $92 million = One freaking big hole that they need to climb out of - with mainly poor reviews - in order to break even. Will that happen? Highly unlikely unless it catches fire as a cult film somewhere down the line. | |

I thought it had more to do with him being a terrible actor. Lyn Collins was very good, and very fun to watch. And I agree that the CGI characters were used MUCH better than Lucas used his. Lucas seemed like he was more interested in merchandise licensing than he was having good characters in a film. The only Star Wars film that I really care much for is The Empire Strikes Back, which I think is very good and has a strong emotional core throughout. Speaking of actresses that are a joy to watch on-screen, I finally saw The Artist. It's a brilliant film and earned its Best Film and Best Actor awards - I didn't see a better overall film made in 2011 or see a better performance by an actor than Jean Dujardain's in that film - it was exceptionally moving. But what really put it over the top for me was the sheer pleasure of watching B�r�nice Bejo, the lead actress. She was astonishingly magical to watch, had more charisma than any other 10 actresses I can think of, and she did a solo "dance" with a man's jacket that was one of the most beautifully erotic things I've ever seen - and shows why I like tease so much. No nudity at all, not even implied nudity, but it was SOOO sexy! | |

I saw John Carter in 3D this weekend. It was an old-fashioned Space Opera. I liked it more than the reviewers did by far, since I haven't read a favorable review of it, but the acting by the lead male character was wooden in the extreme and the film suffers because of that. He reminded me very much of the male lead in the 80's film "The Perils of Gwendolyn", same monotonous voice, like he had taken his acting lessons at a lumber mill. | |

I wouldn't agree that the Rooney version of Lisbeth Salander was weak & needy, but her character was definitely more multi-faceted and more vulnerable than in the Swedish film, where she was more stone-faced and one-note. She was more of a real human being in the US version, in my opinion, and the audience was invited to like her more. Craig fit the Blomkvist role well, I thought. It wasn't James Bond playing Blomkvist, or anything like that. | |

I thought the US version was far superior to the Swedish film. Fincher is a great director, and he's got great actors. The performance that he got out of Rooney Mara as Lizbeth is extraordinary and he allowed the character to be much more multi-faceted than the character was in the Swedish films. Overall, I thought that, while they did some condensing to make the story fit the length of a film, they did so without changing the outlook of the book, unlike some of the changes made in the Swedish films, particularly the 2nd one, which I disliked quite a bit - as a film and for changing the ideology of the book. The Fincher film also has a unique and very cool structure - it's bam-bam-bam rushing headlong into the story from the first moment, and then, different from most films, it's much more placid in the last 1/2 hour - and by that point, you like the characters enough that it's fine to spend that extra time with them even if there isn't a lot of action. I highly recommend it. I suspect that it's a film that will be increasingly valued over time. I'm glad that the studio committed to the sequels, despite the fact that it didn't make a ton of money. | |
