Notes on food and Sweden. But mostly food.

Apparently they are making an American remake of this movie. This has made a lot of Swedish people unhappy. I can kind of see where they are coming from, but I don't know if this is the movie to freak out about. I mean Pippi Longstocking is one thing, there are actual elements of Swedish culture in that. But GWDT (originally titled Men Who Hate Women) is really not the best example. The main character is a computer hacker, and while she is insanely badass, she is not really a typical Swede. Or a typical anything. In the second book she gets shot in the head and KEEPS fighting.

On the other hand, I can understand that good crime novels and movies aren't what a person associates with Sweden, so they might not want to lose one of their stories to the country that has perfected, if not created, the violent badass crime genre.

I'm kind of curious about what other people think of this American remake for the two or three people out there who care (Mom and Ben).
