Oh, you didn't like her performance? Too bad, I thought the opposite. I went into the cinema all judgmental and looking for an excuse to look down on the Rapace impersonator, but I thought all actors were commendable. Of course, it depends on one's view of how Lisbeth's inner core should be portrayed.

And I had a major case of envy for Daniel Craig's wardrobe , and loved the shabby chic interior décors of the chalet/office/apartments/Martin's house (I kept on thinking of Redzepi's Noma for some reason). Bagberry, Blueberry, is it a good depiction of Scandinavian essence? Anyway, the only thing that tickled me was the massive amount of blatant product placement.

Nope I didn't think she was bad, but I didn't think she was as good as Rapace. One thing that irritated me was her 'Swedish accent'. It was all over the place.
I liked the film though, but I couldn't see where the $100 million went.

Daniel Craig's wardrobe was great. Loved the Acne jeans and that creme waistcoat he was wearing.

Speaking of product placement, McQueen mentioned in a Q&A that they couldn't use any Mac computers for Shame because of the subject matter of the film. Apple obviously had no problem endorsing this film which contains female frontal nudity, lots of violence and death, not to mention 2 violent rape scenes.

Did he get there late? I had a feeling based on the Tilda Swinton anecdote that he was pretty early, or at least not fashionably late.

But the lad's in good company: whether it is the NBR, LAFCA or Globes, he's surrounded by people way higher in the echelon than just the Shame PR team -- Michael Barker and Tom Bernard, the co-CEOs of Sony Picture Classics at NBR and he was flanked at the table by Rothman, head honcho and Nancy Utley, president of marketing of Fox Searchlight. Not bad for a publicist-less actor :graucho::graucho:

That explains why I didn't know any of those people. That's not a bad networking session at all. ;)

I was under the impression that he was quite late, considering that there was no mention of him until Tilda arrived and I didn't see her until right before the ceremony started. Could have been the editing of E! tho.

Agreed! That movie should have been capped at 40 million MAX. I'm persuaded the bulk of it went to cover the costs of shooting EVERY SINGLE SCENE 145 times. I admire Fincher, but the man's bonkers for thinking that it is other directors who are peculiar for not shooting nearly as many times as he does.

Also, there is a scene in the movie where Craig takes his clothes off -- did anyone else think that he should go see a dermatologist for all those back moles? I couldn't believe I was ogling naked, buttcrack-ey Craig and my first thought was: "....hello, melanoma".

Anyway, Apple would have fit right into the super-stylized world of Shame imo. Too bad that they rejected what sounded like a fringier project, and too bad for them for trying to sound PC about one thing and hypocritically being unPC about the same matter elsewhere. I previously already wrote about my disbelief about Dragon Tattoo eschewing the NC-17 given those scenes, but what's even more surprising is that not many movie critics brought up this question.

Well, I guess it didn't feature the phenomenon that is the Fassdong. Those peeps at the MPAA were obviously c0 ck blocking Michael because of their of penis envy. Whatevs! :graucho:

You know what the funny thing is? Apparently the majority of porn is consumed with the help of an Apple product. Talk about hypocrisy.

No, you weren't the only one to notice Craig's back. He seriously needs to have those moles removed! He's playing with fire. Same goes for Michael. He has one large mole on his back. It needs to go, before it turns into something evil.

I'm a Fincher fan ever since I saw Seven, but I don't see the point of filming something over and over again. He might want to take a leaf out of McQueen's book and film a full feature in 25 days. Now that is impressive!

I haven't seen GWTDT.

I hate when people speak English with fake accent .
It's annoying and silly.

And there is no logic in it either.

It certainly was a smorgasbord (pardon the pun) of accents with both American, British, Dutch and Swedish actors all pretending to be Swedish whilst speaking English.

It's not a bad film at all. Plus it looks beautiful. I look forward to the 2nd film.

I haven't seen it either because I refuse to support a remake financially that will never be as good as the original. Noomi Rapace is the one and only Lisbeth for me. I found it pointless doing a movie so quickly after it was already done. But of course they're adapting the book. *eyeroll*
But judging from the trailer and what I read they invested more in wardrobe and interior design than anything else. They definitely tried to get away from IKEA but keeping it Scandinavian.

There is even less logic when every single person in the movie has an accent, save for Craig's Blomkvist (because he thought it would be too hard and distracting while learning the lines).

I thought his accent sounded a bit South-African like the one he had in Munich.:D :laugh:

Daniel Craig said in an interview that he refused to speak in an accent because most Swedish people speak perfect English without an accent. My spin was he couldn't fake the accent.

Am hoping there's been some Swim-two-birds chat between these 2 Irish gentlemen -- love that they partied together. And, surely the HBO bar was completely depleted of its Jamesons after their passage ;).

Antonio looks like he's repressing the biggest urge to plant a kiss on Fassbender's lips (perhaps it would be the other way around if we had a shot of Fassbender's face reaction). Get in line, Antonio! Clooney is leading the conga line (hahahaha!) to the Fassbender lovefest :party:.

Clooney is leading the line? How about us?
I'm seriously regretting not getting tix for the Q&A with Fassy in Hackney.
What was I thinking?!!
