This morning, after I finish the laundry, I will look over the final three DEAREST ENEMY scores and freeze them or send them back for a few fixes. I've got sme things to do on ROBERTA and I've got Act Three of THE ONLY GIRL to finish. That's enough.

Good news, DR vixmom! Have a good day.

I still have not seen the US movie since my library did not get it yet (hopefully they will get it).

It's hard to keep all the endings in check. But I found this interesting comparison. And it sounds like the US movie is more like the book. There was a key element that was left out of the Swedish movie that bugged the crap out of me (re: erika and mikael). It sounds like they included it in the US movie.

You haven't seen the extended Swedish or you would know that the ending with Erika and Mikael is there. The big change involves Vanger's daughter - that most certainly is NOT in the book. Also, 90% of the things on that website that the guy feels are better in the US because they're not included in the Swedish, ARE included in the extended version of the Swedish film. I'm going to watch that again soon.

No, I did not see the extended Swedish version. I'm glad that they included the stuff with Erika. But to me if it's not in the regular movie then it really doesn't count. Because that is the version that everybody saw. That was the key scene in the book that was the whole reason for book 2. So to not include it in the movie was a huge deal for me.

Title: Re: THE GAZELLE WITH THE DRAGGIN' TATTOO
Post by: JMK on April 20, 2012, 11:38:29 AM: Discuss:

Taylor Swift is circling the role of Joni Mitchell in Sony Pictures and Di Bonaventura Pictures' adaptation of Sheila Weller's book "Girls Like Us," which would mark the pop star's first turn in a bigscreen drama.

Pic examines the careers of singers Mitchell, Carly Simon and Carole King. Swift does not have an official offer, but has been linked to the Mitchell role for several months as other actresses have auditioned to play Simon and King, including Alison Pill ("Midnight in Paris") for the latter singer.

"House" exec producer Katie Jacobs, who optioned the book several years ago, is directing from a script by John Sayles. Lorenzo di Bonaventura ("Transformers") is set to produce the Sony pic, which has not yet been greenlit, though it is tentatively skedded to start production later this year when the three leads' schedules allow for filming.

Swift, who's currently featured on "The Hunger Games" soundtrack, made her feature acting debut in ensemble rom-com "Valentine's Day," and recently voiced a role in Universal's "The Lorax." Before that, she appeared as herself in the 2009 Miley Cyrus vehicle "Hannah Montana: The Movie."

Maybe Mr. Sayles can bring some life into their stories. As I read, I kept thinking, "This book needs a soundtrack," so the music should be great. The book was a Kindle freebie, which leads me to believe it didn't sell very well...

Is it on the regular dvd? My library has it. But truthfully i found the Swedish version a bit too graphic for my tastes. Although i could always fast forward thru the graphic parts just to see what is new.

It's hard to keep all the endings in check. But I found this interesting comparison. And it sounds like the US movie is more like the book. There was a key element that was left out of the Swedish movie that bugged the crap out of me (re: erika and mikael). It sounds like they included it in the US movie.

I think you will like the story more as this does follow the book more closely. I don't know that you will prefer this version though.

I still have not seen the US movie since my library did not get it yet (hopefully they will get it).

You haven't seen the extended Swedish or you would know that the ending with Erika and Mikael is there. The big change involves Vanger's daughter - that most certainly is NOT in the book. Also, 90% of the things on that website that the guy feels are better in the US because they're not included in the Swedish, ARE included in the extended version of the Swedish film. I'm going to watch that again soon.

I never had an option to rent the extended Swedish version.

Jennifer, it's too complicated to tell. They just make a silly plot device and it's kind of meaningless. I think now an equal number of people have seen the extended version of the Swedish film - remember, this was originally made for television - the theatrical version came after and they felt they had to edit it down for that. The extended is great and you should see it.

I've read the book & watched two versions of the movie. I think that is enough, at least for me it is.

Is it on the regular dvd? My library has it. But truthfully i found the Swedish version a bit too graphic for my tastes. Although i could always fast forward thru the graphic parts just to see what is new.

The US version is less graphic.

Much appreciated. Our regular vet, who was out of town on Wed, just called. We had a nice long talk with her. Even though she thinks it is cancer she said don't completely give up hope. She also went over the blood work with us and the things that scared us are better than we thought.

I added a couple of new patter things and my few other notes were just nitpicky stuff. We then went to Mo's, where I had a grilled artichoke and a Caesar salad. I'm so used to eating one meal a day, that I always feel like a pig when I do two, but I don't think having an omelet and a bagel and a grilled vegetable and salad is overeating, and I see people all the time who eat much more and more often.
