When I've really enjoyed a book I'm really wary of going to see the movie.

I hope they did the book justice.

I thoroughly recommend all the books btw.

Horny rope bottoms make it better.

Me too. Although, apparently in this case we've no need to worry ... at least, until the Americans produce their re-make which is in in the pipeline.

A friend went to a preview which had an unannounced surprise: the director and female star arrived to do a Q&A!

I can't wait to see the film; I'm a huge fan of the books.

It is awesome.

But, just for those who does not know, most of the SM-activities in the movie is non-consensual, really misogynist rape.

In the book, several characters, incl the heroine are involved in consensual SM as well, but that was edited out. And, oh, btw, movie number two is really good as well!

I've been put off both books and films by The Girl with the Dodgy Friends; or why neoconservatives love Stieg Larsson. Recommendation by Nick Cohen was bad enough, but Roy Greenslade, Boyd Tonkin, and Joan Smith too?

Now I'm not saying there's any conspiracy going on here, but once you become aware of this you can see how these novels in certain ways reflect some of the inflexibility of that ideology. Like the work of most ideologues, there's a strong strand of intolerance and humourless self-righteous judgement humming along beneath the surface of these books. Just take the titles. In Sweden, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo had the painfully literal title, Men Who Hate Women. Catchy, huh?

While other thrillers and crime novels are keen to explore moral complexities and grey areas, there's none of that in the Larsson novels. His is a world of good and bad, of black and white where the good may have minor faults (Salander's anti-social tendencies, Blomkvist's single-mindedness) but where they are unarguably on the side of the angels.

Not so the baddies. Not only are the villains here without any redeeming qualities, they're also unrepentant misogynists and racists who deserve nothing more than severe punishment, humiliation and death. There are no lesser villains with Larsson. Ever had sex with a prostitute? No excuses � you are an abuser who must be punished. Ever expressed or even harboured some slightly retrograde or un-PC opinions? A good beating, humiliation, your life ruined and possibly death is all that's coming to you.

Is this fair? I know Larsson was some sort of Trot, so it sounds not impossible. Is it really Death Wish/Steven Seagal + Political Correctness?

Reason is and ought to be the slave of the passions and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.

The films are called

Man som hatar kvinnor (The Girl with the Dragon tattoo)

Flickan som lekte med elden (The Girl who played with fire)

Luftslottet som sprangdes (The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest)

I've got them all on my lappy and I watch them and read the books regularly :D
