WILD APPLAUSE

You may be a fan of the "Dragon Tattoo" trilogy, but unless you've seen the films in their original Swedish versions, you don't fully know the series. For example, I've received outraged letters from fans of the first "Dragon Tattoo" film saying that David Fincher's American version corrupted the ending of the original Swedish film. But in fact these letters are complaining about things that were in the Swedish version - as it was seen in Sweden - and then cut from the American release. Swedish television must really be something. Most of Ingmar Bergman's later films started out in long TV versions, then were cut by at least a third for theatrical release worldwide. The "Dragon Tattoo" series, meanwhile, was made up of six installments (two for each novel), each clocking in at almost 90 minutes. So the material for each of the three movies was cut from approximately three hours of content. Sometimes the cuts were beneficial and streamlined the story ("The Girl Who Played With Fire" was better shorter), but sometimes the extra length was a virtue ("The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"). In addition, the set includes a 53-minute documentary about novelist Stieg Larsson and his work and behind-the-scenes footage. Seen in its entirety, the series has the languorous feel of something made for television. If you have a Blu-ray player, get the Blu-ray. It looks great and can be found on line for much less than the list price.

I know...it was somewhat weird. Like a room full of antiquities demanding to be relevant in the here and now.

It's only a matter of time before the studio system collapses like a borders book store.

There are Directors out there who are into the cutting edge or production, but it is the behemoth studio system that needs to fall before there is greater freedom of film making and forward thinking in it.

There's a tipping point that has been reached and a gap that hasn't been spoken to.

Should make for an interesting scene over the next decade.

[GeneChing]

...but it was so much better than last years.

...but it was so much better than last years.

[GeneChing]

2012 Oscars: Jennifer Lopez didn’t suffer wardrobe malfunction; Stylist claims there were no chances of ‘slips’

Despite the hoopla surrounding Jennifer Lopez’s potential fashion faux pas, her stylist insists she did not have a wardrobe malfunction at the Oscars.

The singer-actress, who presented the Academy Award for Best Costume Design and Makeup alongside Cameron Diaz at Sunday night’s show, donned a Zuhair Murad dress with a plunging neckline that had many viewers raising their eyebrows.

At first glance, the low-cut gown appeared to have showed a little too much of J.Lo’s left breast during the few minutes she was on live television.

Her stylist, however, denies there was any “slips,” claiming the sexy gown was designed with special built-in cups that would have prevented any such incident.

“The Oscar dress was custom made for Jennifer,” stylist Mariel Haenn told EW. “The dress fit perfectly to her every inch.

“While the dress did give the illusion of sheer-ness, jokes on everyone who wishes they saw something!”

Regardless of what actually happened, the speculation created such a sensation on the Internet Sunday night that a mock Twitter account with the handle @JLosNipple was born. As of Monday morning, the account has garnered nearly 2,000 followers.

“For people that don't have HD....I understand why you aren't following me,” one post reads. “For everyone else....you're welcome.”

Unless it's got a shuriken on it, I'm not that intrigued with nipple slips.

[doug maverick]

looks like a slight slight, partial nipple circle..not exactly a nip slip..lol...but now puffy p diddy diddy whatever you wanna call him...he is my new hero.
