Is the American Version of 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' Better Than the Swedish Version? (and 24 Other Urgent Questions) - The Moviefone Blog
by bouilloire
Q: What's the worst part about 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'?
A: It's really long. At two hours and forty minutes, admittedly, the length of this movie isn't the best. Three hours of your life could probably be better spent, you know, volunteering for a charity.
Je comprends mieux pourquoi la BO fait 3 CD !

Générique : American Horror Story
by bouilloire
Ce générique ne cesse de me faire penser à celui de Se7en et ça n'est pas un hasard en fait. Même réalisateur et un Nine Inch Nails impliqué.

polis: Revisiting Henry Miller's Paris
Brassaï claims that a large reason why Miller came to Paris is that he felt he could live a more dignified life in the midst of poverty than in the American city, where being poor was viewed as a "moral failure," a commentary on the differing experiences of poverty and class between American and French global cities with which I am grappling today.

by sbrothier
You know how people sometimes say that jazz is the only truly American art form? Animated GIFs are like the jazz of the internet: they could only exist, and be created and appreciated, online.
