<p>Yeah, the acid throwing thing drove me wild. That's why I decided to have Frank lighten up with the dimwit criminals post.</p>
<p>I like brutal killers okay, in films and books. Real life? Not so much.</p>
<p>On some thread or other I said I totally loved Javier Bardim in No Country For Old Men. Man, was he great, or WHAT!! And people were jumping all over me, oh how could like someone like that he was so awful, blah blah blah. Awful? Yeah. that's what made him so fascinating.</p>
<p>Or…</p>

<p>God that whole Islam acid-throwing, woman killing thing drives me wild. I just come unglued over that shit. Let me at 'em. I'd LOVE to get hold of one of those fuckers.</p>

<p>I liked the post. I have a similar list in my "book"... The BoyFriend Shooters Hall of Fame.</p>

<p>Sorry to say, I've always hung around criminals. I have a soft-spot for brutal killers, I'm afraid. But that's kind of mindless violence. I don't think I've ever known a criminal who could plan…</p>

<p>I love the quote, Cammy, but I'm allergic to vampire books and fantasy books and books set 20 years hence. Make me break out in hives. "How about Italian?" great quote though. I might try that on my mafia buddies down in RI.</p>

<p>It's really the only vampire movie I'd really recommend. She's a vampire that only feeds on bad guys.</p>
<p>But vamping mobsters leads to complications and she runs into a cop who falls in love with her. Some GREAT bed scenes with Parllaud, just wonderful.</p>
<p>And it's a good combination of tough/violent and funny.</p>
<p></p>
<p>My favorite line, the cop is trying to hook up with her LTR but she can't see it. Says, "But I have to drink people's blood to surive."</p>

<p>Very messed up. She was great in Public Enemy ... I think that was her, right?</p>

<p>No, didn't see Innocent Blood ... tell me about it ... I like blood :)</p>

<p>Cammy, I agree with your take also. The focus should remain on Lizbeth, not the journalist. But you know Hollywood ... better than I, probably. If they see a successful foreign movie, they want in on the action. Remember Femme Nikita? That remake wasn't bad, Point of No Return with Bridget Fonda and Gabriel Byrne, but it was very different from the original in many respects. Much more emphasis on the sex appeal of Bridget Fonda. So-mo action scenes with guns blazing ...</p>

<p>Mari, I agree, tho I haven't read the third book in the series yet. The Swedish version was better for a lot of reasons. Much tighter in some respects, but allowed to breath in others. The US version felt very rushed to me in places.</p>
