    Yeah, but both the book and movie suck in that case (DaVinci Code).

    Fincher hasn't made a bad movie yet, so my expectations are high.

    It gets a lot of criticism here, but I enjoyed The DaVinci Code (and Dan Brown's other Robert Langdon tales). The movie wasn't as good, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it sucked.

    Speaking of reading-seeing, I'm hearing great, great things about Tinker, Tailer, Soldier, Spy...which is coming out in theaters soon.

    Of course, it's a book, which I haven't read.

    And it's also one of the seminal mini series of all time...from the BBC, in the 70s. I'm thinking about watching it first before going to the theater. But I'm afraid it might spoil the ending for me. #FirstWorldProblems

    Liked Panic Room, hated The Social Network.

    I still have high hopes for this.

    Thought the Social Network was a decent movie, just hated each and every character.

    I don't understand the bashing of the Millenium trilogy just as I don't get the bashing of 'The Da Vinci' code.
    Much of the backlash seems to be focused on the fact that neither is literary art.
    Neither pretends to literary art.
    Stephen King, John Grisham, Dan Brown and Stieg are just writing pulp. I don't think there's any higher literary pretension.

    "The Panic Room" wants its money back for getting talked into seeing "Alien3."

    I can't wait for SNL to do the inevitable "New Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" where Zooey Deschanel is a pierced, computer hacking-crime fighter.

    This times 1,000,000. Fincher is my favorite director and he does "dark" better than anyone.

    That sounds light years funnier than anything they've done recently
    Best Fincher film ... Fight Club or Seven? I say Seven. It's in my top 5 all time.
