Jacks said she was too pretty and too delicate, and that something she had really appreciated about Noomi Rapace was that the woman is all muscles.
"She's practically a square! Of pure muscle!" cried J.
"They aren't that physically different!" cried I. "And besides, Rooney Mara looks grittier in her Lisbeth getup than Noomi Rapace did."
[Also, has anyone else noticed that both of those names are AMAZING? And should always be said as full names, preferably in the same sentence?
I digress.]
Jacks countered by saying that she thought Rooney Mara looked "too pretty and feminine."

me: right?!?!
oh, also, i saw another trailer for girl with the dragon tattoo last night, and you were right, she is sticks
i hadn't seen the bit where she's like, hunched over and wet before
jacquelin
i dunno, i saw a trailer, she is less prettied up than i'd thought
me: hahahah!
love it
also, i think a big part of what made lisbeth so like, controversial as a character, is that she is a female who talks bluntly and openly about sex
that is disturbing to people
like, she talks about sex without being sexy about it

We are both straight-up terrible at maintaining our opinions. And at linear conversations. And at not using "like."
Okay, so the "like" thing is all me. Hmm.
