Depending on how meta one wants to get, you could use these earbuds to listen to the Dragon Tattoo soundtrack on your MP3 player. (Especially when you're visiting Stockholm & riding the subways.)
The earbuds aren't too accurate though, as those aren't the ones she used in the movie.

I happened to notice because: 1) she was using the same earbuds I have 2) Hers were Sony. I like to make a game of trying to spot all the Sony products in movies by Sony Pictures.

I saw the originals with a friend who had seen the remake first and said the original was waaaaaay better. I don't even think I need to watch this. Or do I?

It's Fincher. You watch it cuz it's Fincher. I prefer this one more over the original. I mean..it's Fincher.

It's always a fun game to find all the Sony product placements. Casino Royale had a ton of them, including the BD player.

I was watching something recently from Sony and most of the equipment used was Sony, but I think I saw a tv being used that was LG or another brand. I was stunned.

I think enough people are on both sides of the fence to warrant a view. I have not seen the original yet so cannot give an opinion. Of course it may fall back on which one you saw first as to which one you prefer.

This isn't a remake.

Personally, I enjoyed the American version much more. I read all the books first and watched the Swedish movies as well.

The American version is clearly better. Everyone who says otherwise is a hipster, who's only saying it because it was the first.

You make a great point. I will watch it. I saw the original for the first time only a month ago so I'll let you know what I think.

this is turning out to be a nightmare for the OCD/completionist crowd...on another website people are showing pictures that indicate (as of now) 4 different sets of disc art for this set.

too awesome

Very cool idea! I can't wait to see them all! I also look forward to finding out what disc art I get.

I'm so glad that I don't have a completionist OCD; my OCD is more of an "everything in it's right place" sort of OCD.

Yeah, I was wondering about that when I got my set, because the disc artwork was different from the one posted here earlier. I got the third version

Same here, I got the third picture set. I think I like that one the best, but that 4th one is kind of cool looking as well.

I got the 2nd pictured one:



I freaked out a little bit when I saw that the artwork on the DVD was a sharpie hand-written title of the movie and it was a SONY DVD-R disc. Then I looked at the data side and saw that it was, in fact, a pressed DVD disc and exhaled a sigh of relief.
