No, actually I meant to mention that the timing of the subtitles was very good. I didn't feel like I missed anything. I am a fast reader, but the words were all centered on the screen, not too many at one time and I thought it made it easier to both read and see the screen at the same time.   

[Cillaliz]

Plus it seems to take 10 Swedish words to say one English word.  there was plenty of time to read

[Cillaliz]

Since I have it, I'm watching it again

We just had us a leetle earthquake here in Los Angeles, California.  Very annoying.

Stop vibrating vibes....

Magnitude-5.4 earthquake shakes Southern California, centered near Borrego Springs.

And now for something completely different, and to cheer up DR Elmore (I hope).  I've been learning to use my scanner today and have created an album of photographs from the production of YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN, for which DR Elmore made me try to learn to sing.  Here's the album on Facebook:

You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown

Great photos.

Anti-vibes for those in California. Or just plain calm.

I'm surprised Bruce felt it.

Good.  I'll tell Keith.  The house is cool enough so we'll watch on the big screen.  I also sit closer to that screen making it easier to see.

Thank you, DRs Cillaliz and JohnG!

DR Jane, it was January 1976, so I'd just turned 25.

You looked younger.

DR Cillaliz, re: THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATOO.

How did you watch it that you didn't have both the English subtitles and the English dubbed version? (since I assume the dvd has both).

I would be curious to watch it both ways.

I downloaded a rental from Amazon on my Roku.  It was the first time I did an Amazon rental so I had a $10 credit and got it free.  It's usually $2.99 to rent.  You download and can watch it for 3 days, but you have to pick how you want to view it and you don't get the specials, just the movie.  You do get it immediately however

But you have to watch it on your computer instead of on your tv?  I would not like this part.

[Jennifer]

I think I would choose the dubbed version. Although if it comes to my library I"m going to experiment with both.

The thing for me is I would need my glasses to read the subtitles. And I don't normally wear my glasses to watch tv.

[Jennifer]

DR Jane you really don't remember the violence?

That was my thought exactly,  DR Jennifer

  Since I'm being pressured to remember it, I do.  There are parts I hope are not shown too great extent in the movie.  I don't remember finishing the book and thinking "gosh that was violent".

I didn't really find the book overly violent (although obviously it was violent).  But the movie is extremely graphic. And personally I would describe it as excessively violent.

I should wear my distance glasses when I watch tv, instead I leave on my progressive lenses in order to see when I look away from the tv.  The glasses make it harder to read, still I like to hear the actors voices.

Might I just add - get me off this damn page.

I had a turkey sandwich and onion rings for lunch and I am now quite full.

I can understand why.  I have warned Keith without the details of the kind of violence.

[Jane]

Now I want onion rings.

Seems that Eddie Mekka, of whom much was written recently concerning his role in "Fiddler on the Roof," is now tackling another American classic: "Grease."

one two and then we went in the house and out there and then i say hey and they when they came around
I'm curious what you both think about one major plot point that was changed from the book.
1. Erika was barely in the movie (mikael's sometime lover and owner of millenium). She was only in it at the beginning and end, they never showed her visiting him, or even them being lovers.
2.And because of #1 i remember near the end of the book lisbeth saw mikael and erika kissing and she freaked when she realized she loved him. But none of this happened in the movie. Which is sort of weird because this seemed sort of important for the book. one two three four and then there were more one two three dour and then there were more

Although it's funny that I think i didn't find the first book violent DR Jane. But when I look back to the time i read it, I emailed you and wrote "i think the book is very violent!"

[Jennifer]

I think I will go watch SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE now.

[John G.]

Had an excellent Pakistani dinner tonight. Teka Fish with potatoes (a kind of spicy saute),  lentils, chicken and chana masala made with garbanzo beans. Everything organic and halal and fresh. Dessert was a saffron rice pudding that was warm and comforting.

I'm wondering if the sequel films will deal more with that issue. I found it odd, until I considered the length of the film and them just realized that it wasn't quite as important as other aspects of the story.

[Jane]

LOL. 

I now get what you were talking about earlier, the part I couldn't remember.  It is your "one two, etc" code before the spoiler, not anything to do with the violence.

No, the Roku http://www.roku.com/roku-products is a little thing that connects to my TV and my wireless network in the house.  So the movie is downloaded and plays on the tv
