David Fincher reveals the poster he’d like to use to promote The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo in the U.S. But it has boobs, so now it’s the European poster instead.
I’m sorry, but I’m not on board this whole Stieg Larsson train. Admittedly, I haven’t read it or seen the original Swedish film, but everyone else in the world has, and from what I can gather, it’s nothing spectacular.
Some girl has a beef with men who abuse her; revenge story; wah-wah. Every guy has a giant boner because she dresses in revealing goth attire; every girl wets their pants because it’s a girl kicking guy’s asses. It seems very shallow and calculated to me.
But then, I haven’t seen it. And I wasn’t looking particularly forward to The Social Network either, but that actually turned out pretty good. I’m prepared to stand corrected, but right now, my “meh” meter is off the scale.
Also, apparently, boobs = serious art these days. Shocker.
