5 I talked about The
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and the sequel The
Girl Who Played with Fire, both of which I watched on instant
NetFlix. Last night, in a desperate attempt to get as far away as
possible from the ACC toonamint, I jumped to Net Flix on ROKU. Guess
what the first new movie suggestion was? The third movie of the
trilogy, The Girl Who
Kicked the Hornets' Nest. I never came close to
being a Star Wars trilogy freak, having skipped the last one, but
this! I want more .. more ..more! Screw college
basketball. |

Based on the a** in your photo 'screw' is the operative word!

Nope - this is not a series that relies on sex .. although the violent rape of the heroine, which is not sex, is a root theme. These are action films with a brain.
ReplyDeleteBTW, howya pronounce Roku? Is it "roo koo" or "rok u?"
ReplyDeleteoy vey ole'
I messed up and saw the "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest" first.
ReplyDeleteNow I can't make up my mind if I saw too many spoilers to enjoy the first two of the series.

Fear not -- all three movies stand on their own.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rodge - Followed your recommendation on the first two. Glad I did. I'll ROKU this one too. After two martinis shifting back and forth from the subtitles makes me a little dizzy, but it's worth it........
ReplyDeleteI watch everything with subtitles now because MA Deuce noise went and made my hearing fuzzy. I love watching foreign movies because of the subtitles. (NETFLIX does not have English subtitles). BTW, ROKU now streams selected AMAZON movies for free - if you're a Preferred Amazon member. I looked them over however, and found nothing but old stale Hollywood crap. Your taste may differ. ROKU rocks.
ReplyDeleteRoku is pronounced "roh koo"
ReplyDeleteHow to pronounce Japanese vowels: Pretend they're Spanish.
ReplyDeleteWhat, you didn't study Spanish? Tant pis!
THANKS RODGE! I SAID THANKS RODGE! SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT MA2. SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT MA2. TOO THEY DINT HAVE EAR CUSHIONS BACK THEN. I SAID TOO BAD THEY DINT HAVE EAR CUSHIONS BACK THEN.
ReplyDeleteoy vey ole'
You can watch all three movies for free if you are a Amazon prime member.
ReplyDeleteRodge, my better half came home from hair dressers a couple of months ago and told me about these. We watched the first two from DVD;s and Netflix, when I checked my new Roku (after you raved about it, I hadda get one) and voila, there was number three. Unfortunately Steig Larsen died so there won't be anymore, but there is talk of them being ghost written by someone else. Liable to be weak tea, like the James Bond books after ole Ian died. Wonderful can't stop watching movies though!
