Thanks, Santa

Santa brought me tix to the American version of Stieg Larson's trilogy "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" at one of those fancy-schmancy theaters (or is it "theatre" where you can drink alcohol and lean back in recliners.

Gotta say, Santa, you've outdone yourself. This is right up there with the complete set of plastic army men you snagged for me some 50 years ago. Must say, however, I'm a little concerned with the American re-make out of fear it will be made even more gritty than the Swedish version.

Whether the movie is good, bad or ugly, I'll likely love the experience. Santa, you are the best. Instead of diet Coke or diet Dr. Pepper, the big question tonight is whether I want white or red while with the movie. Nice.?

PS: Yes, I did rewatch the Swedish version last week. Can Daniel Craig pull this off? And what about the girl. Hard to equal, I think.

PPS -- The American remake of "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" was very good. Go see it. 

But if you can only see one, see "The Artist". Pretty darn cool.
