The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

I bow down to Rooney Mara.  She was exceptional.  Daniel Craig did a great job also along with the entire cast, but really..Rooney..WOW.  David Fincher, ya did it again!  Absolutely fantastic.
Both she and David really held their own in this film/and it REALLY showed onscreen.
I could go on forever about this, but anyways.
Just got onto IMDB and see that she’s #1 on the starmeter *which makes me happy, because I kept seeing Kristen Stewart up there for Twilight which was kind of annoying, so Rooney definitely deserves some fame over her performance as Lisbeth.  Daniel Craig & Rooney had great onscreen chemistry as well.

And David Fincher did a 100% unique/original version [in the creative way/without actually changing the story of course] of the first film — he did a superb job of keeping his own passionate style/and keeping the style very very different than the first film.

Applause to all of you.  ❤  I would basically give anything to have worked on this set, or Steve McQueen’s set, or Guy Richie’s…I just..agalkewhwl;ekh.
Anyways, congrats!  It was epic.

*And I also saw the first trailer for Prometheus while i was waiting to watch the ‘midnight’ showing of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

[Films I Want to See.] ❤

*Edit: Just saw Young Adult today! 12/16/2011*

Obviously, I want to see many.  I love film…

But, these two I have been HIGHLY anticipating the past few months^

I will absolutely be seeing Tinker on Dec 9 — kind of hope I get around to reading the book first over the next few days…<3

[ok, yes, I realize I’m only posting pics of one actor/Tom Hardy from TTSS, my apologies.  ]

Queen Theron & [awesome – ] director Jason Reitman ❤

I didn’t realize until last night that Elizabeth Reeser plays Buddy Slade’s [Patrick Wilson] wife — god, I am even MORE excited now.

I can’t get over this clip.  Ive watched it about 10 times in the past hour, and still laugh at everything Charlize does.

And these freaking kill me, too.

L;KDHALTGEKWHATW;ELTH.

And just in case you haven’t seen the trailer:

I FINALLY watched Snatch the other night

[I had heard it was good but only knew that Brad Pitt was in it.  Which is fine, i like him, good actor, but i don’t swoon over him or anything.  so it was on my ‘to watch’ list for months and months and months now]

But I was looking up Guy Ritchie’s past films last night, and realized he directed Snatch AND that frikkin Matthew Vaughn produced, so I immediately downloaded and loved it from the very beginning, seeing Jason Statham [i loved the short funny lines he had when talking to Stephen Graham], Stephen Graham, Benicio Del Toro, Jason Flemyng = fantastic movie

So here are some tidbits from the film that I snagged in screenshots,  and made a few gifs & graphics.
Enjoy 🙂
Ps: what do you think of the film??  Lemme know!  Comments welcome, always & forevaa. ❤
