UPDATED! Fincher's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Uncensored Poster hits the net! Warning, it has boobs!

I'm lame

Bodes well that this certainly will NOT be a watered-down version, not that I was particularly concerned about that to begin with since Fincher is at the helm, but still. You never know with studios these days. I'm sure he worked up enough goodwill from Social Network that they're basically letting him do whatever the fuck he wants (with good reason).

That was my first "first" ever. I'm glad I used it to point out how lame that shit is. Also - boobies.

Giggidy

Americans won't stand for bare boobies....won't stand for it, I tell ya. There are some things Americans just won't tolerate....and a bare pair of boobies is one of 'em. Americans have morals. And boobies are immoral!!!!!!

I like the look of the poster, but it's a bit pointless since you can't really display it in a cinema unless it's "that" type of cinema ... I'd like to think that as Fincher is involved there's a specific reason behind it other than the marketing dept doing it to generate controversy, etc. But I doubt it ...

The first had the title across her boobs AND another little word in a foreign language across her nipple. The second international poster maintained the title text across her boob, but the word on her nipple was gone (but the nip was still hidden). This one just said "FUCK IT, we'll do it LIVE!" and voila. Thing of beauty. Remember Fincher talking about this poster months ago? And how he knew he'd never get away with it?

This certainly shows how much power Fincher has now. His movies have never felt watered down, but the marketing for them was never actually able to show the R-rated nature of the movies. I don't recall any disturbing posters for Se7en containing a picture of an ultra-obese guy having eaten himself to death. Fight Club never had a poster displaying sport fucking or a single frame of porn. Most people didn't realize those movies were actually directed by a director with vision (and not controlled by Hollywood suits) until they discovered how great they are on DVD. Now everyone knows David Fincher can make a quality R-rated movie, and his fans will show up opening weekend for it. I'll admit I gave up part way through reading the first novel. The first one-hundred and some pages were barely about the main pair, which I found interesting whenever the novel focused on them. Instead, the chuck of the novel I read was devoted to backstory unrelated to the main pair, and the backstory was not keeping my attention. It's like if Jack Sparrow had been in 20 minutes of the first Pirates movie, and the other 120 minutes had been about the family affairs of the ancestors of Elizabeth Swan. I am still interested in Fincher's adaptation despite the novel not being for me.

Better boob joke.

How about that?

I am sure that pic of Daniel Craig is from Casino Royale . Something feels a little fishy about this poster.

Hahahahaa. Ridiculous!

Christ, he looks old

Firstly, I know a lot of you like to suck on Fincher's knob but this is a generic story about some respectable, middle-aged asshole who turns out to be a serial killer. He's uncovered by some disgraced/jaded reporter and a chick that looks like she should be on the cover of Crackwhore Weekly. There seems to be a cult surrounding the character of Lisbeth Salander and it's purely based on the fact that she goes around dressed in black leather, riding a motorbike and is covered with tattoo's and piercing's like all of those sad and pathetic bastards around the world who think that making yourself look like a freak somehow makes you more of an individual when there are millions of fellow morons who think and look the exact same way. Take away the body modification shit and you have a very thin and very dull story that was already made just two years ago. It's fucking depressing that Fincher hasn't made a truly great film since Fight Club or a masterpiece since Se7en.

Always....

I hope you were being sarcastic about Americans having morals. Because sure, Americans don't show exposed boobs in public movie posters as a general rule. But morals? Nope. There's not much left of that in America in the past ten to twenty years.

Can't wait for Christmas!

I wonder who will be the first to say that ruthless violence is ok, but boobies are not, because 'you can watch porn if you want to see boobs'. And yes usually it's an American.

There were so many "wait, what?" moments in there. I recall a review I read (post viewing) that said some important plot elements were missing in the movie that were in the novel. That point made sense to me. Despite being a story about justice for female rape victims, it was somewhat exploitive. SPOILER ALERT!!!!! If Lisbeth was forced to suck the dick of her parole officer in his office why didn't she just bite it off then sprint out? Think about it. She would of gotten away with it easy and the creep would have been jailed himself. Also, I didn't buy into the romance between her and the reporter/investigator. She was a hot goth chic and he was an old ugly dude.

I was a bit trepidatious about Rooney Mara.. but there are times when an actor or actress just goes.. "what the fuck" and just goes for something so far out of their range its ridiculous. This is literally unlike anything she's ever done before and everything I see screams she nailed that part right to the wall. I'm calling it now, she's going to be the one to beat come February at the Oscars. The movie itself will definately be in the running(esp given 10 movies get in), but it carries some significant liabilities given the material itself (dark, a remake of a very recent film, etc). Its the type of movie that gets Brokeback'd or even The Social Network'd at the Oscars when it comes to the big prize in favor of a movie with a broader range of appeal.

... this seems oddly exploitative. I still think it will be good though. Fincher's not the kind of guy who'd sign up for an foreign remake gig just for the paycheck and if a story ever needed Hollywood-ising a bit it's this one.

That Pete's Dragon Tattoo trailer gives me a good smile every time I see it.

She looks like a female Daniel Craig. The Swedish lady was hotter.

now i've seen her tits i don't have to sit through the movie.

I'm a Fincher fanboy and all but the whole "sexing up" of Lisbeth in all the promotional material we've seen so far really makes it seem like he didn't understand the source material.

in The Man Who Fell To Earth. Oh, and good comment from edward_nygma - I'll be using that myself! : )

Odds are either a) It's a highly airbrushed body double... or b) Completely fake. I'm not sure what purpose it serves.

A couple of things.... (1) I must be one of about three people who haven't read the book, but I am under the impression that this is NOT a "sexy" story at all... so rather than applaud this poster for showing some kind of "more sophisticated", "European" approach, shouldn't we be calling it out for being the exact opposite - a trashy attempt to "sex up" an ad campaign in the most cynical, exploitative way? (2) And for those suggesting America is some kind of provincial backwater... again, when the reaction is "Oh boy, boobs!", how, exactly, is that demonstrating some sort of more sophisticated worldview? Sorry, not seeing it. And also not seeing why someone has to be a repressive prude to think that we aren't missing out on anything to live in a place where this poster wouldn't be right beside the poster for MR POPPERS PENGUINS when you take your eight year old daughter and her friends to the movies. It has nothing to do with prudishness - at all - it has to do with having some boundaries in public places so you can can make CHOICES. Overall, just saying ... using sex to sell ANYTHING is hardly unique, daring, or clever. And especially not any of those things when the product being pushed is decidedly and intentionally NOT "sexy". Shadow

Yep, they're trying to sell this baby.

FOUR YEARS ARE YOU KIDDING ME

but she’s getting all kinds of help from our friends at Victoria’s Secret. She’s a 34B, as in barely anything there.”

I spent 7 years of the last decade living in various locations across Europe. (France mostly, with a stint in Norway.) I went to the movies quite a bit and don't recall seeing any bare tits on any posters. I think some of you guys have a skewed perception.

If I spent 100 million on a movie with a girl in the lead role who can't act for fucking shit and Daniel Craig who has yet to prove that he's a box office draw outside of the Bond films. And I'll say it again, this is a REMAKE of a movie that only came out two years ago. I don't give a shit if you call it a re-adaptation of the book. It's fucking lazy and it lowers Fincher in my opinion. There a plenty of great books out there that have never been made into movies and to do another version of this story is a fucking waste.

Oh yeah, there are no females who visit this site.

When they should have hired Danny Boyle, Matthew Vaughn, David Yates or any number of Director's who actually know how to make good movies. Mendes is an over-rated HACK who's made NOTHING but insipid and mediocre shit.

if so, What a cheap and laughable way to sell a couple more tickets. And now that I´m at it, David Fincher is a BLUFF.

Fincher's filmography... 1. Alien 3 (odd): Failure 2. Seven (even): Hit 3. The Game (odd): Underperformed 4. Fight Club (even): Beloved 5. Panic Room(odd): Forgettable 6. Zodiac (even): Masterpiece 7. Benjamin Button (odd): Vapid 8. The Social Network (even): Acclaimed 9. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (odd): ??? A+ for creating a poster that people (mainstream, not just geeks) will talk about though. The trailers are great too.

AICN is just lagging behind the rest of the world's motion picture press. The other two versions of the poster were all over Empire, Den of Geek & Total Film last week. I for one can't wait for this, even Fincher's mediocre flicks (The Game, Button & Panic Room) are better than 90% os the shit the dream factories churn out year after year. Anybody who doesn't look forward to his flicks and go back to jerking off to Vin, Paul and all the shiny cars in Fast Five...

Why does she not have any eyebrows ? Is that a goth thing whereby they shave them off or are the eyebrows there but I'm not seeing them ?

I think it's quite brave of the actress, and properly depicts the vulnerability of the character. Quick tip, the sooner you get over thinking of tits as magical naughty objects, the sooner women will think you're an adult, which they want.

It's not "brave" for an actress to show her tits and rarely is it "artistic" it's simply a gimmick to sell tickets to an otherwise shitty flick.

America "repressed"? Thanks to the Internet huge swaths of America have access to any kind of sexual or violent content imaginable, 24/7. Lots of folks have cable and can watch almost any kind of programming they want, whenever they want, where ever they want. 'Cage fightings has been mainstreamed to the point that it was on TV in the dining room of a family 'sports bar' just the other night (nothing like watching a bloodied fighter get his face pounded while he's down to enhance the dinner experience). In short, you can read, see, or listen to literally anything you want to, anytime you want to. To the extent that there are any restrictions - and there aren't many- it is because a few folks think that maybe, just maybe, the 'public square' should be fairly neutral space so you can CHOOSE what to expose your kids and family to. If you think that modest concession is repressive, I will just note, respectfully, that we have very different ideas on what qualifies as 'repression'.

--vastly improves upon it. Do I care whether he "gets" the material? No. It's the work of a glorified hack. If Fincher "misinterprets" it while improving it with his own take, so be it. Fincher has made some outright classics, and he made "the Facebook movie" into one of the best, if not THE best, American films of the past decade. He has earned my trust. Thus spake CHOPPAH-thustra.

I hope you're being funny with the Americans do not have morals thing. The guy you were talking to was speaking of nudity, which this country freaks out about. Remember nipple-gate at the Super Bowl? We're not talking individuals, but the country as a whole is way against nudity. We are the prudish country in that regard. Other countries have nudity, allow the word fuck on TV, etc... after a certain time on any channels. Here, after a certain time they can say shit and show a bare butt. As for violence, well this country has shit assbackward because violence is fine. Lets go nuts with that shit, but don't say fuck or show a boob or it's too much.

Don't you get it? The fascists won't let us watch midget bukake snuff videos on the huge screens of Times Square. REPRESSION!

except me..i actually evolved..

But pierced tongues are far far better

Are you angry yet? How about if I start throwing personal insults at various filmmakers?

I'd love to help continue her martyrdom, if you read me ...

The naked woman with the older man standing behind her with his are wrapped around her shoulder says exposed/vulnerable/helpless and father/protector. Not really what the book is about, or so I am informed. Other random thoughts: 1. A book about a dumpy middle-aged reporter who gets to solve crimes, overthrow the government, and have sex with a hot 20-year old, written by a dumpy middle-aged reporter. Hmmm. 2. Larsson once witnessed the gang-rape of a 15 year old and did not intervene. He wrote this book (in which a rape victim takes bloody revenge) partly to make up for that. Hmmmm. 3. Those of you praising European sensibilities about sex, please note that in Europe, if a rich powerful businessman decides to give the hotel chambermaid a quick poke, and she complains to the police, he is the victim. Also note that 75% of French men think Dominique Strauss-Kahn was set up because they can't imagine a rich white man stooping to have sex with a poor black immigrant.

I hope she has time to grab a cup of coffee today.

I caught it on netflix I believe. Oh I get it, this is the version for people who can't read. Why that's awfully charitable of fincher.

It's funny how dull those swedish movies are. This is one boring trilogy.

So I guess you weren't a fan of the Coen's TRUE GRIT. If so, you're s fucking hypocrite. If not, then we're done here. CHOPPED

...the home of the Tangerine Unicorns and where justice is administered by a jury of sentient pools of mineral water called Perriers? Well, that's still better than being lynched out in the street for kissing a person of another skin color - like they do in the land of Amerika. Or being shot to death and called a communist for wearing red.

What the hell are you talking about? The European country I live in has portrayed DSK as nothing but a sleazy, arrogant rapist. The USA is great in many ways, but their views towards sexuality are bit skewed to say the least. http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_tee_pre-health-teenage-pregnancy

Daniel Craige is one of the few real bad ass's of present day... David Fincher is one of the most original directors ever... The book is reeeally good seriously- were you born disappointed, or do you work hard at it????

I thought that was James Woods when I first looked at it.

Some punk ass employee would "lose" it and frame it in his bathroom wall.

Trying to be all edgy and dark and daring...it turns out to just be annoying and doesn't really entice me to see the movie. The first book has been sitting on my shelf a year, never read it...never cared to see the originals...and now .... I'm sorry but ... now the fucking ugly skank on the poster is really a turn off. Cannot stand the punk body piercing types anyway. The trailer was underwhelming and although I was hoping for a Fincher hit...this may not do it..

Tits on a movie poster? Check. David Fincher? Check. A proven badass leading man in Daniel Craig? Check. Trent Reznor doing the soundtrack? Check. Once upon a time such a convergence would have elicited a generally ecstatic response. What the fuck makes you people happy anymore?

You cant whack off over black & white nudity. You just look at it and go 'hmmm' like you're in an art gallery. Stars know this, so if they're going to be photographed nude they always go black and white. Everyone says to the actress 'wow you're so brave and uninhibited going nude - but arent you worried loads of ugly guys are going to whack off over your pictures?' "No" says the actress "Im not. Black and white pics only. Black and white. They won't know whether to whack off or write a 500 page thesis on the photographers use of light and shade."

You couldn't whack off over this pic anyway. Not with Daniel Craig looking disapprovingly over her shoulder.

I find his art extremely sexy and so do my lady friends.

So states AssyMuffJizz.

...which seems to be the only part of Europe that runs around telling other people how they should live. Look, putting a naked breast on a movie poster is not brave, bold, provocative, transgressive, or ground-breaking. It's just using sex to sell something else, and don't expect me to be impressed. Use that poster to advertise the movie in Saudi Arabia, then I'll be impressed. And, without speaking to the rest of American "culture," no, sorry, it is not repressed to want to keep pictures of naked women out of public spaces such as movie theatre lobbies. I have the opportunity to control my children and grandchildren's access to violence and nudity at home but not in public spaces. I'm not asking for high-necked prairie dresses, but there should be an acceptable middle ground.

Everything about the film is perfection. Fincher's one true personal film.

BINK BINK! ...and yes, I understand that my immaturity is why we can't have nice things. The original movie was pretty good. Give it a look see.

so whats the big deal? ive seen bigger tits in national geographic....

Try reading a book or two (it doesn't have to be these...this trilogy might be over your head). The original text with "tatoos, piercings and skanky whores" uses all those elements and they fit with her character, her backstory, and the relationships she develops with all the other characters in the story. That's why all the titles start with "THE GIRL..." as they're all about her, who she is, and why she does what she does. You're a waste of talkback space.

wait...

You may have over chopped yer bounds this time sir. I finally got around to watching the original last week, and it was a damn fine and entertaining piece of filmwork. The poster you so dismissively chopped , was in fact correct that it's a remake that can't be improved, but only exists because the avg. USA moviegoer won't see a film with subtitles. I think it's a tragedy... I love Fincher, his work speaks for itself, I don't see how he can make a movie any better than the swedish version... It's gripping, breathtaking and captivating with the quality of it's characterizations... Hell the plot is a maguffin in a way. It exists to tell a story about the characters... like good entertainment should!!! I'm not saying yer CHOPPED... but yer definitely grated a wee bit! :-)

In the book, Lisbeth's boobs were described as small, the movie is just trying to stay true to the book.

talkbacker... not the films "poster"... just clarifying

The girl must be hatched from Daniel Craig's DNA... creepy.

I think I have bigger boobs than her... :::skulks away in shame::: ::fap::fap::fap,fap::fap,fap,fap:::fap,fap,fap,fap::fap,fap,fap,fap,fap,fap,fap,fap,fapfap,fap,fap,fapfap,fap,fap,fapfap,fap,fap,fapfap,fap,fap,fapfap,fap,fap,fapfap,fap,fap,fapfap,fap,fap,fapfap,fap,fap,fapfap,fap,fap,fap..............

Brian De Palma and Carrie. Ironic, cuz De Palma is considered a proficient hack himself. But for that movie, he actually looked like an original talent. A visionary even.

The first swedish film was decent, and the two sequels were definitely quite different in pacing and budget. In fact, I thought that the original films, while a good effort, stuck too closely to the books and felt like a by-the-numbers teleplay of the books' plot. Look at Fincher's Fight Club (I bet you didn't read that either...try adding a few other things to your amazon cart besides games)...Fight Club was a lot different from the book and was a cinematic adaptation. The man knows how to make a good book into an even more interesting movie. An by the way, when you go into a movie debate...try seeing the films/reading the books first, instead of covering your tracks there by quoting the film summaries from other reviews. It's a giveaway.

..aren't good enough for audiences outside Scandinavia? In my opinion those films were good enough to NOT warrant remakes. I guess a lot of people just find reading subtitles terribly difficult. Or maybe it's the foreign language that puts people off. I would bash Hollywood for the ridiculous practice of remaking everything California-style, if it weren't for the fact that they only do it, because that's what millions of lazy fuckers want.

and Forest Gump is NOT a masterpiece. Technically brilliant, beautiful to look at, easy to watch, life affirming. NOT a masterpiece. Im not sure if Seven or Fight Club are masterpieces, but they're a hell of a lot more important (culturally, artistically, thematically) than Benjamin Button. That said, i was impressed by BB and enjoyed it thoroughly. Its a culmination of Fincher's technical brilliance and his desire to make a movie his kids (and mine)can see. I can totally dig that. I assume you read an interview where Fincher states that BB was his most "person film". Otherwise, not sure what makes you think that. Or why it matters. A director's so-called "personal film" can often be a total fucking disaster. If you need a list of examples let me know.

...look her up on imdb. She's actually gorgeous. This is a testament to the work that's going into makeup and her acting (I thought she was great in Social Network...especially in that first scene, she's awesome). The fact that you're all calling her an ugly skank...an emo this or that...well, that's exactly what her character Lisbeth Salander would want you to think about her...so that you'd stay clear of her and she wouldn't have to deal with you. I hope Fincher and Mara are reading this...they'll be validated in their acting/directing choices by what you're saying.

All the proof you should need that, even if a subtitled film turns out to be one of the greatest ever made in any language (Seven Samurai), that an American remake just a few short years later can not only be good, but be outstanding and a classic in its own right (Magnificent Seven). So stop your bitching and move along, troll, move along. Other examples to shut the troll up include: Yojimbo/Fistful of Dollars Hidden Fortress/Star Wars My point is how's about you reserve judgment until David Fincher, a well-proven excellent director, has presented his film. Because right now you're bitching like you've got sand in your vagina and the film's not even close to being out yet. And that just makes you look like a whiny fucking moron.

I can see why you went the lazy route and compared BB to Forrest Gump, but the only similarity between the two films is the screenplay adapter, Eric Roth. Other than that, there is nothing similar to the films. Not in choice of direction, not in tone, not in staging of the film. Nothing. Where Gump goes often is nostalgic and hokey and saccahrine, BB goes melancholy somber and personal. BB doesnt meet famous people and instigate revolutions and cultural changes in a oh geez did i do that way. He meets normal people at certain times in their life and only later do we see the changes hes made, unknowingly. Never in a film have a witnessed something so unwaveringly true and never felt forced or cliche. Devastatingly and gorgeously epic filmmaking and it will one day be recognized for the greatness it is.

...were brilliant. And the poster, if authentic, shows how MUCH Fincher doesn't grok in fullness the source material. Pass...

Ther first Swedish version was excellent. but the second and third films got a new director and lower budget and they fucking sucked. Yes, Fincher's remaking an already well-done film, but hopefully he'll be able to give us a good trilogy of films rather than a good start as the Swedish ones did.

cautiously optimistic, but not too hopeful. I'm counting on the usual hollywood remake crap, take all the subtlety and everything else that made the original good out of it, then make up with overblown "production values", a plot so simplistic that a 2 year old could follow it, and a few extra special effects. And yes, Harry, that "production values" comment was a call out to you - he who complained that the original did not have good enough "production values".... Man, has he gone south or what, talks out both sides of his face with regards to Hollywood's movie making ability, don't he?

I've seen - nay, even fucked - hot goth chicks and you, sir or madam, are no hot goth chick.

It's personal comparatively to his other films, which can be described as clinical and cold. I love all his other films, and I find it hard to choose a favorite, but they come off very matter-of-fact. You see dark and great visuals but never once do you see who the director is. This is the first time the man who directed the film shone through into his work.

In Fincher Chop Trust

I've seen bigger lumps in my oatmeal.

You got CHOPPED. Congrats. The first time is always memorable.

I think I'd date Rooney Mara.

Ok, ok! I won't touch your bitch, man! Just stop murdering me with your fucking eyes!

Spoken like a true douche, man... Realize the fact that your opinion on beauty, is just your opinion, and that your effort to validate your opinion as an objective fact, by claiming to have had sex with other girls, fails in every possible way. What else is this girl in? Can't say I remember her from other films.

Yeah, its a goth thing. And I find it really really unattractive. I know that's not the point and all, especially when it comes to this movie, but I wish they hadn't shaved her eyebrows...

She was the girl in the opening of THE SOCIAL NETWORK. watch her scene and see that she is unrecognizable here.

...that as Zuckerberg's exgirlfriend). But she also headlined the Nightmare on Elms Street remake, so we can't fault her for that. She's actually really pretty...look her up on imdb.

no way to tell if any chick has genuinely nice titties these days unless you see them in person

This shit's for creepy S&M kinkmonsters.

The only thing worth a damn about the books is it's unshamedly feminist themes of brutal revenge against perverted male authority figures and rapists. So if the poster has tits and you expected to be aroused, then I hope it kicks your male gaze back into your fat face and makes your teeny little hard-on die in your pants. I hope you do think that a 'hot chick' has been made to look like a 'lesbo skank': if it's easier imagine Lisbeth Salander castrating you with a broken bottle than sucking your cock, then they've done a good job evoking the character.

So fuck you with a pointy strap-on.

karl hungus Nice even/odd assessment, I fall back on the Star Trek model all the time :D boogalooshrimp Hahaha, outstanding (re: "keeping clothes on") the_choppah So glad they implemented carrage returns ... really adds to the anticiption for the scroll down to the *CHOP* (totally with you on this film having great DNA and +baffled+ about the bitching ... ?)

This chick looks like she's chock full of issues!

The Coen's didn't do a shot for shot remake of True Grit.

What you should have asked is whether I liked the Psycho remake. No. No I did not.

You get nothing, Good day sir!

The revenge scene was pretty fucking great, but the rest wasn't particularly memorable.

That's right. It is load.

These girls are probably just going to defend themselves against misunderstandings from simpletons like you. Did you just pick a famous author to use as your handle by random draw? Or do you actually agree with his common themes of intelligence behind misunderstood facades of bravado and submission (as in his books like "As I lay Dying" and "The Sound and the Fury"?

Oh, and this is still a shot for shot remake, in English so people don't get all riled up and bothered over subtitles.

I agree though, the second and third film in that trilogy really sucked hard.

Benjamin Button is a bloodless refried rift on Gump, but without any virtue of character or emotion. Tell me, what is it that Benjamin Button CARES about? What's his moral disposition toward others and the world? What's his defining characteristic as a human being? What are his hopes, his dreams, his fears? I know the answer to all these questions in regard to Forrest Gump because he's a finely drawn character that I can invest in, Benjamin Button is a cold mannequin walking around through the Gump narritive structure. And I'm the guy that refutes those same claims made against Meet Joe Black, I think that movie and character are actually fairly poignant. I love Fincher a whole lot but what he thought would set Button as darkly brooding and elusive just rendered him bland and distancing. Also Alexandre Desplat's scores are the musical equivalent of white rice; Will it serve its purpose - yeah. Will it make you frown with disguist - no. Will you be wholly satisfied and yearn for more out of the sheer pleasure of its flavor - not likely. Desplat is pretty wallpaper to Alan Silvestri's Sistine Chapel. And that's pretty much how Benjamin Button stacks up against every aspect of Forrest Gump. BB's cold digital cinematography versus FG's warm anamorphic 35mm. Fincher's detached direction versus Zemeckis' heartfelt. Pitt's forgetable character to Hanks' un. Every lovely thing film has to offer is skillfully present in Forrest Gump; Story. Characters. Emotion. Struggle. Sacrafice. Romance. Friendship. Humor. Joy. Anguish. Ennui. Triumph. Lose. Redemption. Mortality. Morality. Whimsy. Nostagia. Intimacy. Grandure. Destiny. Happenstance. History. Race. Class. Spirituality. Innovation. Beauty. Sentiment. Humanity. Heart. - Yeah, it's a masterpiece.

Saw the trailer for this at 'X-Men' the other day. It was staggeringly AWFUL. WTF were they thinking?

Hurts so good!

thanks for spoiling the movie you fucking faggot piece of shit.

Have you seen the film? Is it REALLY a shot for shot remake of the first. No my dear child. No it isnt. You and I both know that Fincher wouldnt waste neither his time nor talent with a remake like that. Making blanket statements like this shows more about the poster than the film itself. I'm sure you saw all the swedish films in the theater too fanboy. Ignorance, thou shalt drink up dr. pepper. Not yet. CHOPPED.

in europe this is a Harry Potter Poster. Nothing special about it and it still begs the question, WHY remake a flawless movie!

I have no shame in admitting how much I love boobs (preferably much larger, natural ones…and with no mutilation of the areola), but I really must say this is over the line. There is absolutely no reason in the world for any studio to approve a poster such as this to promote a film. This does not say to me it’s going to be a good film. It says “we aren’t sure the audience is there for us to make our money back, so we’re going to resort to pornography to entice more guys to see this”. It also says they couldn’t care less about all the people who would find this a bit offensive or any young movie goer who might happen to see it somewhere.

3 things I love. All the bitching about "why remake this" "why are the resorting to porn to promote" "why do I smell like vasaline" The answer is......because. Great poster.

In the first book, Lisbeth Salander is completely flat. *Spoiler* They get a bit bigger later on.

Seriously, Noomi Rapace OWNED Lisbeth. She looks 1000x tougher than this girl.

It's pretty awful that this poster exists..the fully clothed man in back of the exposed odd, yet objectified woman. This is so against the nature of the character I know and Lisbeth Salander. Fincher and Fox should know better.

I love boobs. Small boobs, big boobs, boobs are good. Also, the movie and the trailer should be really good, but boobs.

Lisbeth Salander shouldn't be objectified like that.

I'm actually rather serious about it. Take a hard look at what the themes of our popular television programs are, what the majority of feedback on these forums are, what the lyrics point to in most music on the radio. I would be a liar and hypocrite if I said North America as a whole was a moral culture. Heck, one guy in this forum claims that the only reason there is censoring is due to religion and I would say if we didn't have any religion at all, would that make abuse okay, would that make old men stalking little girls okay, would that make defiling your best friend's wife okay? Society needs religion, there needs to be standards, laws, rules, ethics, and morals. We just live in a society where it is in a constant state of decay.

You cite the lack of emotion in BB, which I find truly wondrous. That film was chock-ful of emotion and never once did it feel manipulative. You say that the film was detached and cold, like Fincher directs. Whereas Gump goes from one cultural event to the next, like a cliched biopic, Benjamin Button serenely strolls itself to a satisfying conclusion. It really does feel like a life story of a person, let alone Daisy's. Gump feels like it is going through the dramatic motions of storytelling 101. And the score--well different strokes i suppose. Silvestri's score fits the film it is for and that's fine. It is actually what it needs to be--anthemic and moving when the pop songs aren't playing. Desplat's score is something altogether different so you really can't compare. It is ambient, heartmoving, and completely complimentary to the film it is in. But lets go back to emotion that you feel was brimful in Forrest. Never have I seen a more manipulative film than Gump. Need a heartfelt scene for Gump to "reflect" and have a "life change", kill his friend. It happens a few more times in the film, i might add. As for the main characters--Forrest Gump is a cypher. Plain and simple. The reason is was so loved was because he was the perfect Everyman. The 90's version of Chance. His wants and needs were very simple. He even speaks in cute little soundbites for the masses. Benjamin is a little more complex, but what do you expect from Fitzgerald? He is a little more introverted and really doesn't give much away about himself. People project onto him and assume wrongly about what he is (like many people did with the film). He wants to be accepted yes, but he also wants to know why he is the way he is and to what purpose. Does he get his answer? Alas, it is not about the destination, but rather the journey. Don't get me wrong--I like Forrest Gump. I think its entertaining. But it ain't the best film. It ain't even Zemeckis's crowning achievement. Benjamin Button is art. It's only time before the rest of you understand that. Here end of lesson. You get a free CHOP pass.

She's naked, sure, and Craig is gripping her in what is a more jealous and covetous way than a protective one. It's almost like he's hiding behind her, too. And would you look at her face? Does that expression tell you she's scared or desires protection? No, it's as if she's saying, "Yeah, I'm naked. So what? What the fuck are you going to do about it?" That, little boys, is a woman so comfortable with her sexuality that she's using it as a weapon on her own goddamn terms. It seems that the ones who are quick to yell "misogynist" and "sexist" are the ones most fixated on the tits.

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh shit. Man, that was funny.

THE CHOPPAH!

And just think, I did this all for free. A regular community fuckin' service.

Some words coming from a boy who'd fuck anything -- a hunchback, a jellyfish, a mound of rancid oranges -- that presented the easiest opportunity.

Stop being a white knight. Chick still will not fuck you.

Actually, little tits have their advantages. Easier for the girls to stay inshape and run... plus, when they reach 35, they aren't two eggs on a nail.

Right on.

yer reaching.

you can never go wrong with fucking boobs

FOR THEM TITTIES!!!!! KA-POW

or touching them, or sucking on them, or playing with your matchbox cars on them!

he was giving Jim McGreevey reacharounds in Turnpike rest area bathrooms.

Was pretty flat. I think the problem is, while it's edgy, it doesn't say anything and the title of the movie flashes bu too quickly for "normals" to make any sense of it. Still, between that and this very cool poster, I like the edginess to the marketing. Beats the crap out of 99% of what passes for a movie poster these days. Also makes me think that maybe this Americanized remake will have it's own special qualities to look forward to. Keep pushing that line! :)

Why did Fincher cast a corpse?

I see you are still the same internet tough guy you always try to be. See, I am in this for fun, you are in this because you have some need to insult others in front of strangers, thus giving you some false sens of superiority. When was the last time you weren't a pretentious douche bag? Hmmmmm....that's right, there has never been a time when you WEREN'T that.

That you called him out on the tweets he sent you....

are small, but they are about twice the size of the girls from the Original, i don't mind small breasts like these, but those were pre pubescent boy chesticles :P

And then goes and gives it to him in the very next sentence. Oh the irony.

Fucking all the skanks in your immediate family doesn't count . . . What. A. Cunt.

Because that is what attention whores do.

Would be an insult to stupid people everywhere.

Stories are supposed to manipulate you, maybe Fincher should embrace it. Skipping along historical benchmarks is part of Forrest Gump's whimsy and charm. I'm a sentimental sap I guess, and it's not that you're not right if looking at it on paper (or script), but it's the execution of Forrest Gump, especially by the actors that really bring it home for me. Both Benjamin Button and Forrest Gump are syphers for the audience to project themselves on. Both are aimless but one has a creed. Forrest Gump is a constanty dismissed and underestimated underdog who we can project our own shotcommings on and yet keep hope of overcomming by simple virtue of character. Happiness can be achieved through decency. That's inspiring. Benjamin Button represents our wondering and wandering nature and the inner beauty of our insecurites. He's a character that starts out life a repulsive misfit and grows into a golden god of youthful allure and bafflingly smug self-assuredness whom thinks too much and feels very little and will never find happiness. I don't know if that makes BB more complex but it does make it pointless and depressing. Forrest Gump doesn't know much but he knows what love is and he finds relevance to his life by serving and defending the ones he loves with a fierce loyalty. Benjamin Button knows much but he doesn't know what love is, his life is irrelevant because he serves only his own defense and has no loyalties. Benjamin seems to me to have no love or passion in him at all. He has innocuous curiosities but not investments or principles. Walking out on people without ever looking back to supposedly spare them from witnessing his youth is as noble as he gets. Benjamin Button just felt hollow and empty to me. I don't think Benjamin Button is a horrible movie. It's interesting and well crafted and unmoving. But I'm just a genteel gentile and a daydream believer, so you knew I had the back of my ever faithful brother Gump over my ponderously fickle cousin Button. K.I.S.S. Please don't chop me, I'm a pacifist.

Always has nuts in his mouth.

S'all right. Shalom.

that was a chick in the original? I thought it was a boy!

(AFP)--The Moroccan government said Wednesday it had ordered a probe into claims that a French ex-minister had sexually molested boys in Morocco. Luc Ferry, a French former education minister, claimed in a television interview last week that another ex-cabinet minister had molested boys at a Moroccan orgy and that senior figures covered it up. In most countries, that's rape. In France, it's called "entitlement."

And thats why neither is a masterpiece. The screenplay! Now I know. And knowing is blah the blah blah!!

Both fantastic movies.

It was instrumental in my quitting cigarettes. Thanks Michael Mann!

"Dec 28, 2010 6:14:56 PM CST I've outgrown talkbacks by william_faulkner And message boards in general. I think this is the end of the road for me, boys. It's been fun. Adios." CHOPPED.

I though he left last December.

You see this all the time. People who defend shitty movies because "They are for kids" is usually used by people who have kids. Then when it comes to posters like this they always go to the... "What if I take my kids to Mr. Popper Penguins(or whatever the fuck that pice of shit is called)and they see this?". Um I don't give a fuck. Maybe you should explain to your kids that the human body, especially the female human body is AMAZING. Instead of just hiding them from everything until they are 18 and then they go fucking crazy with sex and drugs. It seems like 80% of the time people complaining about this stuff are people who have kids.

In fact, I find that I become less and less lame with time. I suspect this development is in proportion to the epic amount of pussy I've been getting over the better part of the past year.

Is there a point in there? Since your parents obviously won't take you to see the new penguin film, i'll do it. But you hafta sit on my lap. And feed me milk duds.

And slipping them luudes before turning them around in the hot tub.

The music was a little more pop rock than I would expect from this, but then again idk much about this film besides the box sets I see at the stores. And also, I was surprised with the quick cuts used. All in all it was more like a promo for a new cd by a rock band than a fincher film imo; I might check out the originals and then this.

Hope her being in this remake goes better for her than that pos.

and yeah from what it says on her wiki apparently she had her nipple pierced for this role...hope it works out for ya Rooney.

I don't post here much, and I don't know him. Just passing through because a link sent me to this poster and I thought this was an interesting discussion, since I've read the books. I never accused him of a hate crime (ooohhh...sarcasm, Falkner...nice one). His post about strippers and women who have been assaulted just made him sound really ignorant. But I guess I'm not the only one who agrees, so had I known, I wouldn't have even responded.

when the books make such a big point of establishing that 'the girl' is completely flat chested, well in book 1 anyways.

...word.

The doctor slapped his mother.

I'm fucking gay and wouldn't touch them either.

Here is a movie that features the main character being raped, as well as multiple other women being brutally murdered and raped. And they are using the image of Rooney Mara in character as Lisbeth Salander naked to sell it? No one else has a problem with the tacky mixed message here? At no point does Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) "protect" Lisbeth so why does he have his arm around her like he is shielding her or, worse, possessing here? What the fuck are you thinking with this sexualized image, Fincher? The trailer is stylish, that is all. And I'll bet most people are reacting to the Zep cover by Karen O and Trent Reznor more than anything with their over the top praise. I've read the book, I saw the original movie. This looks like a copy and nothing more. I want Fincher's Dragon Tattoo to justify it's existence. Right now it just feels crass as hell, and I've loved most of Fincher's work. This is just the wrong tone.

Shut up, Mr. Burton! You are not brought upon this world to get it!

look i made nipple rings ( * Y * ) Novices

( $ Y . )

Respect. Respect. First of all, thank you for stating your opinions articulately (I'm looking at you, Faulkner). I've also seen and read the original books and swedish adaptations...IMHO (and I stated this in an earlier post), your reaction to this poster is exactly what her character Lisbeth Salander would want you to think about her...so that everyone would stay clear of her and she wouldn't have to deal with you. So I'd say it's pretty much in line with her character throughout all 3 books...the more she was mistreated...the more in your face she got with her appearance (save for the boob job in book two...but that seemed like more for herself than anyone's viewing). Oh, and by the way...You people sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn... call the president.

She's naked, sure, and Craig is gripping her in a more jealous and covetous way than a protective one. It's almost like he's hiding behind her, too. And would you look at her face? Does that expression tell you she's scared or desires protection? No, it's as if she's saying, "Yeah, I'm naked. So what? What the fuck are you going to do about it?" That, little boys, is a woman so comfortable with her sexuality that she's using it as a weapon on her own goddamn terms. It seems that the ones who are quick to yell "misogynist" and "sexist" are the ones most fixated on the tits.

The tagline, however, makes it look like it's some kind of exorcism movie with the pierced gal to be the devil's posssessed girl to be cast away by exorcist Daniel Craig.

Terrific contribution, enjoyed your BB v. FG post. jack burton, hahaha, your username made me chuckle, busting out BTiLC right +now+.

and I didn't think it was sexist

Read the 1st book (woman actually Kindle'd it and I scored a copy on my iDookie), decent, though not worthy of the "must read" hype. Are 'Fire' and 'Hornets Nest' worth pursuing, given I'd rate 'Dragon' as a 6/6.5 out of 10 ?

Interesting take on it. If the marketing continues in that vein than you might be right. It may be because I'm a cynic, but this imagery seems like something a marketing team dreamed up without taking the actual events of the movie into consideration. I still think it's crass and in poor taste. And thanks all for the love for my username. I don't post as much as I used to but I've been around almost from the beginning of AICN and never changed the name. Son of a bitch must pay.

So am I, but I'm not staring intensely at them, thinking: "WHAT ABOUT THE WOMEN?!?" (fapfapfap) "THIS IS SEXIST!!!" (fapfapfap)

I would say "No" if you didn't like Dragon Tattoo. Girl who Played with Fire is way too long and pretty tedious. It's like they decided not to edit the manuscript after Stieg Larson died and it is just filled with pointless transition scenes and two dimensional characters. And the best part of it, Lisbeth, isn't even in the narrative for 200 pages. I wasn't impressed and disliked it so much I never continued with Hornet's Nest.

No, I have not seen Fincher's version, however I did see the trailer and almost everything in it looks like a shot for shot version of whats in the original which leads me to believe very little is different besides the language.

Listen, I like Fincher and I understand this is like his cover album but so far doesn't look or sound any different then the original. So what's the point then might I ask?

Oh, and you Sir are a page waster.

People who speak or make assumptions before getting all the facts are ignorant. I expect more from you when it comes to Fincher. Not much more though.

I'll be seeing this movie with me trusty "back scratcher" Yeh

I liked it OK (my 6-6.5/10), but I think most of the people who push on to 2 and 3 liked it much more. I might give them a try sometime, got a few other things in the queue, and any more, my time to actually sit and read is so limited, I'm kind of selective with that time. True Story from just last week: the neighbor has a lab and our little girl was throwing a chew toy to her, and slung this one backwards and I reached out and snagged it. The dog owner looked at me kind of surprised, I said "It's all in the reflexes" (with kind of a Burton-esque delivery). Totally lost on him, but I chuckled :D

Fincher's remake fills me with an enourmous sense of curiosity. What will he do with his movie? Will he compeltly depart from the style of the original movie, or it will be much closer then one would expect? What will it be?

From the trailer, it looks like a lot of the "iconic" moments from the book is in there. But food for thought...Fincher's only done two films based on previous (fiction) material, and it was Fight Club and Benjamin Button. I've read both and the films were VERY VERY different...and in both cases, much much better. So, curiosity is at a real high for me about this film...especially since I was a big fan of all 3 books (although I agree with ole PorkChopExpress that the later books got way too self indulgent). Still, I loved Lisbeth's character all the way through.

Its obvious. So therefore I stand by my original argument. There is this movie called "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" on netflix streaming. I'll bet, though I haven't seen Finchers version, but judging by every stinking shot in the trailer is a clone of what's in the original with only language and performer changes, that it's almost exactly the same thing and you can save ten plus dollars, in these hard times, by just watching it on netflix and in HD! Oh, and the best part is its not even an old movie!

Seriously though, I applaud Fincher for trying. As i said I like his movies but really what's the point? I mean its almost as if someone tried to produce an American version of funny gam--- Oh God damn it Heneke!

But I do think there are exceptions to the rule. And I wholeheartedly hoping that this one will be as well. A couple of examples...LET ME IN last year looked like a shot for shot...especially in the trailer, even moreso than this film. But that turned out to have subtle nuances in story and editing and character that made it feel a lot different (sidetrack...hey, that was also a swedish film...althought I think LET THE RIGHT ONE IN was a much better movie than Swedish DRAGON TATTOO). Anywhoo...another film I was pleasantly surprised about who's trailer looked similar to the predecessor was True Grit. Not very many director's I would gamble the $10 on at this point, I totally agree...but, Fincher is definitely one of them.

... is an edgy, avante garde, revolutionary in the realm of pop music. Glammed out, wildly costumed, hypersexed raunchy baaaad girl. Nope. Never seen that act before. The rationalizations for the typical shock value gimmickry are just so predictable friendo.

You're the bitch who keeps coming back to this place.

I really didn't liked BENJAMIM BUTTON much. It was like FOREST GUMP Part 2, and i seriously sdislike FOREST GUMP (the first movie where i started questioning that there was something quite terribly wrong with Robert Zemeckis). So, no, Benjamim Button is not a good Fincher movie thst comes to my mind. I even pretend he never made it, so not to ruin his pedigree.

Heh. Baiting you is too easy. Well, ok -- here's a little more attention for you: You really are a sad, lonely creature, aren't you? In fact, as stalkers you and Braindrain actually have a good bit in common. Only he was kind of adorable in a sad way, while you're repellent and humorless on every level. Fact: every time you post a message in TB it's as if someone farted in a tiny, crowded room. Do everyone a favor and "outgrow" message boards again. You're stinking the joint up, friendo.

But I do know D. Vader. The guy is hardly a loser wasting his time. He actually busts his ass trying to pursue his goals. How do I know? Because I was up last night emailing him sound FX so he could finish a short he had shot and make it as good as it could possibly be. This isn't a guy sitting on his ass wishing to someone would hand him something, he is trying to fucking seize it.

Respect. I totally get it. There were a lot of people who didn't like BB (and I can't argue with a lot of problems onthat one). But I was referring more to his adaptation being better than the source material (or at the very least a very interesting take on it). So much so that I do think his new film will be worth a look. But, I can't fault you for being turned off or skeptical. I'm just on the other side of the fence and ready to give him a shout out and a shot.

Today, we saw a lot of good posts about this material...about character, storytelling, moviemaking, the film biz...they weren't all in agreement, but many of these discussions were handled tastefully, intelligently and articulately... ...and you were involved in none of them.

very raunchy poster indeed.

This fucking guy has been stalking me for the better part of a year. I guess I'm just irresistible like that...

Quite a card. And quite a nutjob.

I found the movie to be enthraling from start to end. I found the ending to be particulary moving for everybody involved. As for the stupid english title, it is stupid. The original title is THE MEN WHO HATE WOMEN, which is also the tile of both the book and the movie in most other language,s including my own portuguese. A title which is very apropos about the story it tells. The english title is bullshit, a mere slight at the main female character and has nothing to do with the bloody story.

a young filmmaking talent who's emerging? That's cool. A 11 years old girl who made a zombie movie and actually won some awards? She seems like the personification of what Coppolla said in the final moments of the HEART OF DARKNESS docuemntary, where he hoped that with the new video tecnologies, some 11 years old girl from the midwest would prove to be a great filmming talent and would make a mockery of the so-called professionals of the business. I'm not saying that Hagins girl is that, i haven't seen any of her work, but if the awards bestown to her is any indication,then wow. Besides, a 11 years old girl makes a zombie movie? How cool is that?

The 2nd book's swedish title actually translates to "The Girl Who Played With Fire"...and the 3rd to "The Air Castle That Blew Up". I like the playful consistencies of the English translations, but ya...neither the English nor the swedish titles are exactly brilliant commentaries on the plots. I guess they should just call them WILLIAM FAULKNER'S FAVORITE MOVIES, part 1, 2 and 3.

Then that is very commendable. I hope you got paid for your trouble. Otherwise you got chopped.

love the bold stance these guys took

I'm certrain that in swedish the titles read much easier on the ear. My problem with the first book and movie's title is that it has nothing to do with the bloody story it tells. As for the girl who played with fire title, it actually is pretty apt to the stor,y considering what she did to her old man when she was younger and how that affected her whole life, and not just her life but her father's as well. As for The Air Castle that Blew Up, really, what's wrong with that title as well? It's as apt as well.

She hasn't lived. She doesn't know what it's like to lose loved ones to flesh eating zombies. I know..I..I know. It changes a person. It hardens you the fuck up. This girl is just a child. Fuck her. She should be making films about going to the mall and hanging out on Friday nights at the roller rinks.

Faulkner = Skyway moaters! A troll by any other name would still stink. Moaters if i'd have known then i'd have been a bit more proactive in fucking your ass (metaphorically not literally, dont get excited gayboy). And don't try and 'mindfuck' my man D.Vader, he's one of the most respected guys who posts on this site whereas you are scrabbling for scraps. Changing your name. Saying you've had it and then crawling back for more. Pathetic. Pwned. Game over Moaters. You played yourself.

I actually think Hornest Nest is really the only title that colorfully suggests the plot...that third one is very political and Lisbeth (without really doing much by way of actual action) is at the center of a huge conspiracy's downfall. But, I just think that all the titles (yes, especially that first english one) could have used better titles, English or Swedish. I've suggested these books to a lot of people and they think it's some kind of "Twilight in Sweden with Serial Killers" book. Bluh. Curse the publishers, ya?

I think Rooney Mara is beautiful...

Moaters, ha! Retard boy. You can't even spell 'schtick' let alone make it stick. It's plain to see you're a fucking amateur. But more than that you're a bullshitter. I know for a fact Choppah isnt Skyway Moaters, and I also know that you have the exact same writing style as him. Condescending arrogance - but without any kind of intellect or wit to back it up. Yeah Moaters, you been exposed and it's not pretty. Lame boy. You've 'had it with aicn' and yet here you are back for another whipping? Faulkner = Moaters = Fuckwit. That's the kind of equation we're looking at eh?

It's just that so many talkbackers hate you. Sorry, friendo, but it's true. I'll continue to pray to Crom for your redemption and turnaround. Until then, though ... CHOPPED.

Hahahahahaha. I fart in your general direction Moaters.

http://emotibot.net/pix/1397.jpg

Faulkner / Moaters, fuck dude?! I was expecting at least a teensy bit of fight back from the flaming I gave you. Not some humorless shit that makes comedy sense to no one but you. Weak. Damn. You got problems. Let me tell you aicn is NOT the place to solve them. Seek help. Fuckwit.

The Choppah is an arrogant cock with delusions of grandeur, but at least he makes me smile sometimes. Faulkner fucking IS Skyway Moaters. THAT is 100% accurate. Syntax; diction; content. They are identical to his. And Skyway Moaters is the most unfunny, tedious jackass ever to grace TB. I've got to agree with Choppah. No one likes you, Moatse. Get the fuck out of here. Go away and never come back.

That would have made this one hell of an enjoyable poster.

Good thing Sony moved fast to remove the offending piece from one of the hottest go-to sites on the web for entertainment news and information, Ain't It Cool News. God the HUNDREDS of eyes that must have seen that, their marketing deparment must be in Level 3 Crisis mode right now.. YEAH STICK IT TO THE FUCKING MAN!!

This has to be the wierdest marketing campagn i ever seen in my whole life. What the fuck is the trailer trying to achieve?

Nothing to get crazy about.

And more to do with MPAA rules (or someone's rules, not sure if its still MPAA with movie posters/print ads) regarding advertising material. Boobie posters are likely a no-no in non-age restricted areas here stateside, so in order to get away with it Sony has to make a good faith effort to maintain that piece of advertising internationally. Hence pull the poster. And by the way, Sony is the big money grubbing corporation, you guys are the geek website, if someone is supposed to be "punk rock" in this situation, it'd be you.

ugly tits on an ugly woman. Why remake this bullshit

Every time I see a trailer for this, I am going to shout at the screen: This movie rocks and Sony sucks! or something .... I won't do it at the Alamo though :)

Meanwhile, I can see Anthony Weiner's hairy taint at foxnews.com. What a world.

This is what happens when untalented people try too hard to be clever.

Can we set some things straight? I know Cobes is still himself, but aintcha all PBers? I'm sensing some divisions here that are pretty unnerving, given that I thought you're of the same crew. Hell, I'm downright distressed. Damn Beaks for fucking up the old order.

What's a PBer? Sounds disgusting.

Cobes and I go way back, but I have no clue who this assymuff character is. He can be funny, admittedly. But, other than that, he can go CHOP himself.

Ah, well, who needs a club when you're THE CHOPPAH?

been made available with translations in the US yet? I just found out that there's quite a few more hours of "film" in the TV version, covering all 3 edited down films and expanding the story quite a bit.

Even if those hogs are just flapping around for a few seconds in the background in some party or mob scene. And she should get paid triple the extras rate for each appearance.

Henceforth, by decree of THE_CHOPPAH, all talkbacks should include at least one personal plea for Kat to "release" an expansive new set of topless cell phone pictures. So it is written! So it shall be done! HAND, carry out this order!

will be airbrushed and photoshopped, with even bigger boobs, but wearing a lame CGI bikini

Make it so.

Color me wrong, then. I thought Assymuff is That_Said_The_Choppah? Guess not? Can't you get along anyway? Thank Jesus Cobes kept his name. An anchor in some raging waters.

- As per The Hand

Those are C-cups easily.

You know what Cobes thinks of mercy.

All this attention is flattering.

gross.

You can be funny sometimes too. Ya prick.

so I could give those titties four thumbs down!

I remember Moaters. Is Faulkner really him? Just did a little Googling too - this cat has been here since the gottdamn 90s. 'Fess up man, I need to update my AICN roster. I don't think Faulkner is Fishus though. I don't get that vibe. Unless you and Fishus had a REEAALLYY bad falling out, not to mention I can't conceive of anything he woulda said to get himself banned.

Damn, some of the cats around here have been around a long time. I guess this is one site you really never leave huh?

I guess I'm daft, or easily distracted, but I never saw any mammaries... oh well. The trailer looks great and the music only adds to it, but... really the trailer doesn't really tell me a much of anything since I never read the books. I guess that's better than the trailer telling you everything like usually happens now days

He was the guy that was always writing those crazy Choppah songs and that fucking annoying ASCII art, wasn't he? I don't know about him being Wee willy F, but he did seem crazy as a shithouse rat and definitely obsessed with Choppah.

I've been here since around that time ( though AICN the website was founded in 1996 IIRC ) I was here in 1999... I remember Harry's Episode I review or "The Review heard round the world" but I lurked for several years before I ever created an account and piped up. There are a lot of people who have been here longer than that, but they rarely come out to play anymore. :(

joblo.com

That's the crazy part. I thought he and Choppah were buds.

Do you remember a TBer called Warrior, or The Warrior? From what I'm reading in some 2000 talkbacks, this guy is legendary. A Choppah of his time.

We need a Wall of Fame here, Harry.

Check out this old LOTR talkback, featuring some posts from Moaters and Beaks too. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/5333 You gotta read between the lines to see the impact Warrior and DMFC made, since they were banned and their posts erased. But apparently, back in the day, Beaks was hardcore against any form of banning. LOL

actually one of the more hilarious aspects of being an American these days. We won't show boobies, almost anywhere, but we'll fuck out a few pairs of crack babies and the government supports them. All while clothing trends tend toward making 11 year old girls look like they're sportin' double ds. We fill kids with a cornocopia of drugs while a plant will still land you in jail in most states, even if you're a consenting adults. But don't say fuck, or show anyone a boobie... cause.. you know.. bad for the moral character and all. What a joke. Shame on almost all of you. Looks like an interesting movie. Is that Roony Mara?? Holy crap, talk about a transformation.

I always screw up the spelling of her name.

does NOT look like her boobs.

On talkback "legends". PhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhT! ROFL!

http://www.iamrogue.com/images/stories/girlwiththedragontattooposter.jpg

Lots of double-standards going on out there.

The trailer for Girl w/Dragon Tatoo played very well before X-men...audience i was with seemed excited about it. www.dailybullseye.com

You literature is impressive.

Arguing over Fake Internet Identities. I don't know or care who any of you are in real life. For all I know you could all be one guy having internet arguments with himself. And all this trying to figure out who used to be someone else five years ago or if one person has two handles so he can agree with himself. It's just Silly. The only way to make any kind of mark around here is to be amusing ultimately. I've been posting here for about two years I guess. I've written long thought out responses on many different films or TV show discussions and I've had a half dozen or so people agree with me (usually) and everyone else either doesn't notice what I said or ignores it because they're too busy taking the piss out of each other. I think one of the moderators responded to me once. But I've never been banned or CHOPPED so I guess I'm doing OK in the grand scheme of things.

I'm really a guy named Sweeneydave. You're telling me that people act different in real life than they do in talkbacks? That doesn't make any sense. People here talk EXACTLY how they talk at work or on the bus or at the zoo or in jail. Fake internet identities do not exist in this dojo. See what I did there? Zany Sweeneydave...

bsb, I was just ripping on this Faulkner guy, mostly because I didn't like what he just wrote about d.vader. You must have misinterpreted if you thought I was ripping on Choppah. He and we be cool! faulkner, sorry if I got you confused with Skyway Moaters. He was a 100% wanker. You're probably only about 61% so I should apologize. cymbalta, I agree with you too my man, scratch up another one. LET'S GET THAT COUNT TO A DOZEN!!!!

Oh and Faulkner, I have to confess that "braintrust of the Choppah" is a good one!

but you know we all saw it... wasnt like we can erase the image from our brains, we cannot. but for all the nice titty that was the girl is not pretty face wise, couldnt you do some cgi to her face or something to make her at least midly attractive??? lol. CGI TO THE FACE!

Guess its back to beating off to old Mary Kate and Ashley movies. Thanks a lot Sony.

CHOPPAH is and always has been CHOPPAH, just as are and always have been a bucket of tool juice. CHOPPED.

you're a fucking piece of shit asshole

but Harry wants more "pwesents" from them in the future, so aicn turns chickenshit and hides the image. is that the basic rundown of the situation? "It's their property and they made the call" = They threatened to not send us on a junket next time. pathetic.

You chopped yourself. Watch out for typos, big feller. BTW -- I think you've lost your edge.

Facts about Wee Willy: 1. Willy is a liar. He has claimed to have been at least three talkbackers since he made his appearance some months ago. He often toys with the idea that he is an AICN moderator. His latest claim to be Jehovahs_Witness is yet another in a long string of lies that he's perpetuated. 2. Willy is always on his high-horse. Whether lampooning or generally mocking TBers explicitly or implicitly, Willy's posts take online self-righteousness to a new level. And he's been a consistent defender of AICN administrators. Given that and his "my shit don't stink" sensibilities, it's little wonder so many have suspected he's a craven Black Boxer in disguise. 3. Willy never writes substantive, on-topic posts which elevate the conversation and betray a love for cinema. Even the fucking Choppah seems to know his shit. Willy seems solely interested in beating other TBers down. That's his MO. Seriously talking about movies - not so much. 4. Willy is obsessive. Note his recent fascination with Aspbergers disease (i.e., attributing it to TBers, both individually and generally). This follows a consistent pattern of obsessive/compulsive behavior. 5. Willy is never, NEVER funny. For example, his long-winded dig at that Cobra guy above. He accuses other TBers of juvenile humor and, in almost the same breath, goes on to make some of the most pretentious, embarrassing, situational jokes ever to grace AICN. No wonder people think he's Moaters. 6. Willy is always a bore. This is his worst offense. All other points could be forgiven if his posts held an inkling of creativity or insight. Demonstrably, they do not. In short, I doubt there is a TBer around these parts that can genuinely claim to like Wee Willy Eff and can give a sound, evidence-based defense of him as a TBer and as a human being. So, please: go away, Willy. No one likes you, and no one wants you here. Simply leave.

You're always cool, bro. I didn't think you had a beef with Choppah, just wanted to address what I thought was the Pedalback posse.

I can't say I hate anyone here. Even DocPazuzu. He despises me, to be sure, because he's my personal punching bag. But that's why I like him - he's my amusement. And hell, we all have our unique traits and that's what makes reading so interesting. Assy, you did the most bang up job of emulating Asimov I could imagine. That was fun reading while it lasted. The Choppah ruthlessly chops, but rules with an overall grace. His Hand is generous with the whores, no complaints there!

Hmm. Nice to see familiar faces around ...

What up dude. I aint been on here for some time, so figured I would drop in and see whats up around these parts.

and this tb devolves into a snooze-tastic prose episode of Scooby Doo. He's not really Scorseses_huge_spectacles....he's threepios_lubricator! And I would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for you snooping talkbackers!

CHOPPAH had a long, taxing night of doing coke out of hookers' asses while sipping Hennessee from my sixth wife's meat gourd. If a couple typos are the price, so be it. Sure beats your night of relentlessly studying old AsimovLives posts and squeezing the eel to pictures of Carmen Miranda's fruit hat. Creepy fuck. CHOPPED.

as it is of showing wee titties...

the world would be a safer place

.... the epic AQUAF@G thread?

Yes you have better things to do. Clean your Aquarium. Filter the shit outta your cats shitbox. Write reviews for Badass Digest. Shave your mother's back. Rearrange your Sock Drawer. Fap off to Irreversible. Only then may you come back for a second helping of.... CHOPPED.

Wee Will Eff is also sexist and homophobic (in a really serious, unfunny way). He likes the word "retard" quite a lot as well (but doesn't seem to have a clue on how to use it effectively). You really believe I'm in any way obsessed with you? You think you make my "life miserable?" Sorry, Eff. You're more like a vaguely interesting, repellent bug or fungus to me. I actually moderately enjoy kicking you around. All my conclusions about you are obvious ones spawned by a brief reflection on all I've perceived since you first appeared on the TBs some months ago. No obsession required. It's not like you have any fascinating depth or complexity. And some advice: you really should take a lesson from the Choppah on snappy comebacks. He's a grade A prick, true: but I grudgingly admit that he chopped the fuck out of me earlier this morning. And he can be funny. Anyway, stick around if you're into getting hurt. It's kind of fun having an utterly despicable troll-persona to collectively kick around occasionally. See you soon, loverboy.

Please direct me to the PBers. I hadn't seen any of them around here for so long, I stopped visiting. Should probably check the shelter once in a while. Ahem.

Pressing return is for wimps.

Now I guess you'll become obsessed with ME since your last boyfriend, Braindrain, is MIA. Unlike Braindrain, though, I'm not a mental midget or a pussy. So bring on your worst, Eff. It's time somebody put your fat ass down.

A TALKBACKER CALLS ANOTHER GAY! THIS IS VERY UNEXPECTED, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...WILL ASSY RECOVER??

Yes, I am. What of it?

From whence do you hail, Willy?

That's really the best you've got? And btw: if I cared what other TBers thought about me, I wouldn't have named myself Assymuffjizz. I'd have named myself something a little more respectable and intellectual... like, say. William_Faulkner.

I want you to stop and remember for a moment that you're talking to Assymuffjizz. Sure you're ready for that? You might be biting off a little more than you can chew, little fella.

I dislike the Faulkner persona. So TEDIOUS. If you ARE Witness, you're better than that, man. If you ARE Witness, what the fuck happened to your sense of humor and your sometimes astute film commentary? Ditch the Faulkner persona and start over, bud.

One word: Rape.

is more punk rock than this site.

Or are the mods really fucking with us now? Not that the retorts and quips were high level in the first place, but they just took a sharp drop into a murky pool of Pathetic.

You cruising for a piece of ass?

Everyone is just throwing nonsensical jabs in every direction.

Yeah, we've all heard that shit before. "you've adapted" "i've become enlightened and outgrown this place" yet you keep coming back here. For more abuse. Which is fine, you keep me on my toes in a Glass Joe kinda way.

Willy, like all bullies, is afraid of getting his ass whipped in a fair debate by a superior intellect. Thus, he resorts to juvenile language and insipid questions, claiming that he's "adapting" to my supposedly childish behavior. Fact is, he knows I'm more sophisticated and skilled than him intellectually. And he's scared.

Yes sadly it has. Are you new around here? I don't think I remember the name. Any other names Ol' Chop would recognize?

Yes, run home to mommy. Hairy hairy Backed mommy!

Long time indeed.

Maybe you knew, or maybe it is mere conincidence. Carmen Miranda is known as that BRAZILIAN beauty with the fruit hat. And i'm PORTUGUESE. However, in a funny twist, Carmen Miranda was actually born in Portugal, and she immigrated to Brazil when a child. It's funny that you got something by serendenpity.

What is your old handle? And yeah, I don't see many Peebers here anymore. Save for D.Vader and Cobra--Kai once in awhile.

How did I miss that?

What up back atcha. How're you doing? Is the Pedalback still active? Flicka kinda disappeared ... are you guys on the DL?

It was GE/GetEveryone back when the PB started, then changed to MadFuckingMax after Beaks saw it right that I be banhammered. Miss the old-guard. This place is so bland these days. Last time I was properly around was about the time Subs fell out with everyone over Lady Gaga or something ridiculous.

AICN pussied out, bigtime.

Specifically... here: http://tinyurl.com/4269gz7

I'll have to get used to you being get.everyone now. Yeah, the place is bland nowadays. I haven't posted here forever, and I'm starting to remember why.

Check you old emails or accounts to see if the Peebers every contacted you.

the pantheon, but I can never understand how anything gets nominated if you guys aren't congregating here. The shelter hasn't been updated in months (so it seems, that service is lacking to say the least). The new TBs aren't a patch on the old turf. grumbles *soon we'll have an edit button* Anyway, back to my Breaking Bad marathon. I'll drop in again later.

fact

Nice to see an old regular! Welcome back friendo!

But I'm at Bonnaroo watching Arcade Fire, Eminem, The Black Keys, The Decmberists, Florence and the Machine, Mumford and Sons, Devotchka, The Strokes, Neil Young, Robert Plant, a Garden State screening with Zach Braff, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, and many many others. MadFuckingMax, I regret I won't get to catch up with you. I hope you'll hang around in the future! Billy Faulkner- I know it might be hard for you to tell, but I wasn't insulting Emily at all. I was pointing out to a talkbacker that there is no evidence Emily is doing anything other than presenting Super 8. It's implied the whole thing was JJ's idea, not hers, so it's doubtful she's turned it into something else other than a simple screening. ContinentalOp: thanks for the sound effects. I finished the short yesterday RIGHT at the last minute before I had to leave for this road trip. I definitely used one file. I may use more on the director's cut which is absolutely necessary. BSB: we haven't engaged in quite awhile, friendo, but I hope you're doing well. I see you're still "excited" for Green Lantern and Captain America. I hope all this tension you've built up will have a wonderful release when year films are released. Cobra-Kai (and Conti): thanks for the support. We don't see enough TBers with your quality around here much anymore. Everyone else: if I get the chance to see the Zach Braff Q&A, does anyone have any good questions about the movie or otherwise that they'd like answered? A question about sex with Rachel Bilson, I feel, will just get me kicked out of the tent. Though im as curious as you.

Bonnaroo FTW!!! Very envious, for me Buffallo Springfield w/Fury, Stills, and NEIL FUCKING YOUNG would have been worth the price of admission alone. Tres Cool, Rock on . . . .

I'll tell you how they were! Rock n roll, DM. Rock N Roll.

I'll only state that it involves a teenage version of me, a little gay bar in Mississippi, and a toothless biker who kept screaming, "I'm gonna eat the corn out of yer shit!" If you want to know more, it'll cost you $2.50 a minute.

Great PR move assholes. Brilliant. Fucking brilliant.

Sorry for the late reply my man. Much appreciated. Yeah you're right, enough foreplay, it's time to get it on with Ryan and Chris.

Keep on Rockin' in the Free World..

How sweet. Willy really was taken with me and my sexual orientation. And had lots and lots of questions. I wonder why. Seriously. Shutting Willy down was too easy. One openly gay man rendered him utterly harmless. He's just too curious in spite of himself. Come on out of the closet, Willy. The weather's fine here.
