Finally saw Fincher's Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I was quite intrigued by the differences and the similarities to the Swedish film. I knew going in the film was right up Fincher's alley, and he kept a very similar visual feel without just making a shot for shot remake. I was very glad to see that he kept it a Swedish film - about Swedes and set in Sweden. I was also very impressed with Rooney Mara's Swedish accent. Having spent well over a decade in the company of Swedes, it sounded dead on to my ear.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

Lucas claims that Han never shot first.
WTF is he trying to do? Does he want to ruin everyone's childhood?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Lucas claims that Han never shot first.
Huh. Is that related to thing where we have always been at war with Eastasia?

I wonder, is it possible for me to buy Star Wars: The Han Shot First Edition on DVD these days?

Are you implying that Han ever killed anyone? Give Georgie a couple more years, and all the good guys will be more pacifistic than Gandhi. (eta: Mahatma, not Indira or any others)

Thrive to spite them
Lucas needs to stop. I don't know why he's so against Han shooting first, but this late in the game there's no way he's going to convince anyone that it was all a "misunderstanding".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
