I'M GOING TO PAY TO FULL PRICE THEREBY SUPPORTING THE FOREIGN-INDIE movie scene.

In actuality, I bet the Swedish govt helped fund a lot of it. 

eo000

an american remake would be interesting.

Cassidy is making me read Twilight.  Except I haven't started it yet.  Also, she has way too many book borrowing rules.  I think I'm going to try and find the most dog-eared beat-up copy of this book to give back to her.

That would be funny.  Mean, but funny.
we should have kept the quote pyramid up to rape Jessie in the face.

No. Cassidy's an amazonian person who likes mini persons.

Molly is a mini person. And she lent her copy of Twilight to Kerry.  And it is way dog-eared and beat-up.  I think I'll make a switch.

The one that scared me most as a kid was Salem's Lot-the original (not on the list above).  I got totally freaked from the vamp kid scratching on his brother's window.  I slept with a night light for at least 5 years after that.

Doesn't hold up when you watch it as an adult.

this movie ruled, not at all what I was expecting.  The relationship was so touching, yet so ominous.  how did you feel about the removed genitalia.  Apparently the book answers a lot of questions, but the movie is supposed to be a separate beast.

haven't watched it yet.  thanks.

Yeah, it's here, I've just been battling a nasty head cold and have been in a bad mood, so I've been waiting until things are sunnier.

actually i think this would be the perfect movie in that mood

Jessie

Yeah, it's not exactly sunny. 

And Catchr, to answer your smallified question -[spoiler] I asked Carroll if he thought there was a scar where the genitals should be because I couldn't tell, it was so fast.  I'm not sure WHAT to think of it.[/spoiler]

I loved the movie though, and the casting was great, except the old guy reminded me of Thurston Howell and it was distracting.

[spoiler] apparently according to the book, its actually a castrated boy.  but it doesnt matter much because he/she has been a pre-pubescent vampire for centuries.  of course this rule doesn't apply to the movie.  we have no idea if they shriveled from atrophy, is a vampire thing or perhaps was some female castration.  i mean she did say "I am not a boy" an awful lot but that was totally left up to interpretation.  the scary part is how warm and touching it was.  i could really see the appeal of hanging out with a 12 year old Swedish transgendered vampire.

Hrm.  Interesting.  I really want to read the book.  Do you know if it's been translated?

if you don't feel like reading it here is a review comparing the two.

http://www.avclub.com/articles/let-the-right-one-in,25503/

The book looks interesting, but I am not compelled to read it.  It just seems to wallow more in the lurid details and backstory.  I'm happy with the minimalism and general theme being kept in the movie. 

[spoiler] the main diff being it seems that Oskar, Ellie, her "dad" and all involved are more reprehensible and less likable in general [/spoiler]
