Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-09-2010 12:09 PM                        I have a hard time even looking at the main actress in that movie because she is so fugly it makes me turn my eyes away from the screen as quickly as possible. We haven't gotten any complaints, either, but we did get a lot of complaints about Greenberg for whatever reason.  |  IP: Logged Martin McCaffery Film God Posts: 2481 From: Montgomery, AL Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-09-2010 12:20 PM                        We showed Greenburg last week. No complaints, but not much of an audience either. DragonTatto is a much better looking film than Greenburg, no matter what you think of the leads. I'm hoping Greenburg was shot that ugly on purpose as an artistic choice. I thought something may be wrong with our projectors, but DragonTattoo is sharp and bright and looks really good.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-09-2010 01:39 PM                        Definitely agree there. I assume it uses special Swede film stock as it wraps slightly looser than our other prints.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

I couldn't believe the credit I saw on that movie. Just awful.  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-17-2010 03:41 AM                        quote: Martin McCaffery If IMDB is to be believed, the sequels to the scope The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo are both flat. the flat trailer for the girl who played with fire is letterboxed. what up with that?  |  IP: Logged
