just for the benefit of those of us who haven't picked up Stig Larsson's books, are the movies all abt the same girl?

Yes. She and the newspaper man. Both striving for justice. Fantastic books. Go pick them up with your borders voucher! Hehe

JKrolling: thanks for your kind offer hopefully if time permits, i can borrow 1 book first

see how lar, if i can meet up with you. no rush

Or you prefer e-book? Can pretend to stare at your screen at work. Hehehehe

TehC: sho cwever

but if its 1000 pages, your eyes will tear man

No la. JW download Book II and III for me before. I finished one of book II and cannot stand the suspense so...

... so open the files in office and read ebook for book III. Then continue paperback at home. I was that hooked!

i haven't read the books yet!

this movie doesn't explain some of the stuff though, like there're loopholes so i'm wondering if it's cause of the time constraint that they

didn't fully explain the facts. must read the book to understand further i guess!

Ask here la. U got 2 of us here to answer you. Hahaha. The books will explain everything actually. This is like Harry Potter

where the books have all the details but movie shows only small perceptage of it

ooh okay! like in this movie they were talking abt zala right? so what has zala got to do with the trafficking of women that dag was

intending to report on? i thought he was just into trafficking drugs.

Zala... this name was linked to drug trafficking. Yes. In fact, he turned out to be.... jeng jeng jeng

U want me to reveal a movie spoiler for your part III?

0.0 okay no! lol. i shall just keep wondering till the third movie is out then. hahaha

Hehe. Cos in the book, prostitutes have named Zala, linking him to drug trafficking which aids prostitution so Salander

and the newspaper guy who died wanted to nail this chap and stop the prostitution.

oooh!

okay okay i get it now. we were still wondering where's the link!

Hahaha. When you know who HE is, you are in for a shock. Cos I was too. My eyeball almost popped out when I read of that. Yummy read.

oh so zala is not the blonde dude who's her brother?

wah, mad confusing

i tried starting on the girl with the dragontattoo

found the language really dry...

Actually Singapore censored the vital parts of movie I which is important for part II and III.

YES THE LESBIAN SCENES

Watching them alone doesn't give you a full picture. And yes, Zala is not her bor

oooh. okay i thought he was! now i get it!

cakie: i haven't even flipped through the books yet!

Eh eh. No. Not that lesbian scene. I meant the rape scene cos that is salander took revenge and then in movie II

the lawyer took his revenge, but instead led to the whole Sala thingy

Sala = Zala (typo)

yeps! but the lesbian scene in part II was censored too!

Hmmm. For me, vital parts is more of the violence and no lesbianism. Cos violence is what turn salader into who she is.

To be precise, it's violence against women.

mm hmm! in part II the only bit that was cut was the lesbian scene though, everything else was fine

Hmmm. It's all about men's violence against women. Hehehe. Amazing books.

i apologise for my gender's crimes to you womenfolk

Aaaahahahaha. I apologise if I sound like a feminist. U go read the book and you'll get what i mean.
