How's your detective work going?
And they would've gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddling kids!
Took a second for me to click on which movie that was from. Those Lisbeth Salamander movies are too damn forgetable.
I confess that i've probably never been happier. There's alot of shit going on, but my love life is so wonderful it just cancels out it all.
Well that's enough mush for one post. Carry on speculating on who's who of the returners

LOL
Even the Swede doesn't remember.
Is that from the American movies, though? The common opinion over here at least was that they were total crap compared to the Swedish ones, let alone to the books which I have all sitting on the shelf right next to me. I don't really know because I haven't seen them, but there's that.
Lol, as I said, I haven't seen any single one of them. Don't pay much attention to Hollywood productions.
I think I should try reading the books in Swedish at some point. Might make for some good entertainment on a rainy day.
If it is that girl is wearing a pretty convincing Noomi Rapace mask

But i'm fairly certain that the best Swedish movies can never be exported. Since they're so in-joke laced
I prefer the Swedish version,
I believe that the top picture may be from the American version, and the bottom picture is from the Swedish version.
I'd honestly avoid the film and go straight to the books. It is so much more rewarding.
the film, as with many; leaves out too much to make sense. Or at least in regards to its effort at projecting the story and it's characters to the best degree.
Side note: did anyone else imagine dolph lundgren playing niederman?
They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The Vanger Family!
The problem with the international film market is that the stuff that's easily avalible is the artsy or broad appeal stuff.
I'd love to get my hand on their beloved schlock files. Something like the Chinese or Russian dumb and dumber lol
The problem with Hollywood
is that the people who get to animate the unnecessarily brooding intro sequences to David Fincher films are Vimeo hipsters.
????
Anyway. I feel miserable, there's no one to talk to… I just dont know what to do with myself anymore.
And I still hope Kitsune Inferno was kidding.
I figured he was kidding, but now you have me a bit worried. :sad:
Im worried too, I cant contact him.
Maybe he went to bed or something (not sure what time zone he's in, so I dunno).
Speaking of international aniimated films. has anyone seen waltz with bashir?
When you ask me that question,
it's like asking a Middle American who actually wears colors if they've ever seen the movie Titanic.
Im worried too, I cant contact him.
He has been saying some weird-ish suicide-y things on Facebook as of late. Maybe something's actually wrong?
But he did post something on FB after he posted here… Hmmm. :/

Just looked up the trailer; not a huge fan of flash animation, but the art style looks pretty great.

What?! No!! Not Mr. Fox!! D':
Yeah, he had been playing a FFVII challenge and that drove him into madness. I had to put him down to end his misery. I'm sorry guys. Kitsune is dead.
Seriously this thread has more than ever been absolutely filled with idle chitchat clogging things up. Can you guys have some control over yourselves and do start caring about the fact that while the conversations may steer places that aren't always serious, you need not perpetuate it?
AP has a fluid structure that we have accepted instead of dismissed for the sake of a more rigid rule system, but watch the thread and quit when it's absolute ding-a-linging and clown carring up.
If you guys seriously want to make this the fuck all thread, go ahead if that's the majority's decision, but I think it's damaging to the fact that a lot of really serious drops get flopped in here and it will probably deter them.
Come on Wolfwoof you're a green star now.

Alright, Miss Holy. I finally made a thread for random conversation, so hopefully it helps to keep this thread balanced. :)

Thank you for being the voice of conscience here, Holy Hell. I've been thinking about the same thing.
I suppose that people more or less have a faint idea of this lingering in the back of their mind, but it needs to be said out loud nonetheless. Isn't this thread supposed for confession? I feel that it is somewhat awkward and rude to go on random chitchats right after someone poured their emotions into confessing about their serious issues and unfortunate circumstances and desperately seeking helps. Shifting the discussions this way of course doesn't prevent people from returning to the previous problems, but nonetheless it makes them more reluctant to do so. It is understandable that when people just don't know what to say about the serious issues expressed anymore, and some users just want to talk about random things at a random moment, and this is the only place for them to do so, they would just go and do it regardless, but sometimes it went too far. Wouldn't it be better if we have two separate threads for two distinct kinds of discussion, one serious (and sometimes semi-serious) and another just for fun? I don't know if that would work, but it seems to be a better alternative for me. I understand that this thread is not a real avenue for therapy, that too strict a regulation is not appropriate, that sometimes people don't even feel the need to have their problems solved, and that certain things are best discussed via pm, but still shouldn't we strive for a better format if it is plausible?
It is just my two cents. I'm sorry if I am being presumptuous here.

Yeah, I have a feeling that the thread will be a flop, but hey, it's trial and error.
Just so pissed off by so many things at once right now. Fuck this life. Fuck all y'all.

This isn't the first time the thread gets kind of out of control. As Holy said, we are embracing and accepting the fluidity of the community and the conversations, but that is still only up to an extent in a thread like this one. We don't want to patrol tangents but it's another thing when a serious thread becomes entirely silly and loses its purpose. So it's not really about making two threads – just recognize that if it's silly or random banter you want, there are better places to do so, either privately, on our IRC webchat, or in a more generic thread like the Day thread.
It's also worth pointing out that you're the center of attention for a good amount of the off-topic posting in here lately. Clearly you're a familiar face going to reasonable lengths to stay anonymous, so why you'd choose to post (almost) exclusively in the Confession thread, and expect to be taken seriously or at face value, is beyond me.
When I go to bed at night, I often wonder if I'll ever find true friendship in this world.
Sometimes I think I flirt far too blatantly. Then again, subtlety has never gotten me anywhere with the ladies…
Sometimes I feel bad for being a bit of a sociopath… and then I read this thread.
You poor bastards and your dependencies.
I'm alive ppl, don't stress it.
Everything is cool.

On a personal level i have to say that i don't think that i've ever really understood the sanctity of this thread.
When problems arise people tend to give their advice and support. I don't think the notion about the heavy stuff getting buried in so much chit-chat that people don't care about it is correct, when the people in the thread have had something worthwhile to say about matter it seems to me that they would usually do so. And i wouldn't have thought that serious minded people were driven away by the idle moments being filled with a bit of fun, but it appears that you guys do in fact shy away from it, so sorry about that i guess.
But my personal feelings aside, as i'm wearing my mod cap i'll react accordingly if you users just let me know it is disturing you.
Within the context of this thread, the definition of "confession" is so loose that people just post random crap. Most threads within this section that are longer than 5 pages don't tend to stick to the original topic.
What happened to the spammy general discussion thread we had a while back?
I confess to feel like the worst thing since Shortbread Hitler for having polluted this thread with my horrible compassion and sense of humour.
Do with me whatever you wish, I deserve it !
Why do we want to make every single post in this thread to have to be about serious trauma or worse, again ? That would make every new post showing up in here inspire feelings of genuine dread, which is not exactly a good idea for a thread if you desperately wish people don't find themselves needing to post in it.
Well, I'm thinking about not posting here for awhile, or at least until I can articulate my thoughts correctly.
Same goes for the day thread unless I do something worth mentioning.
We've already had this discussion a few months ago… I'd really like to not go in circles and argue/debate all over again. Try to respect the concept behind the thread, bottom line. But I want to address a few points quickly.

You are probably not the target audience for this thread. Let it suffice to say that it does matter, overall, for people posting in here. They have said as much in the past.

Some will be more serious than others, or on completely different scales of importance. I don't really see how that changes the concept of the thread. There's a difference between a silly confession and extended silly off-topic rambling.

Dude, read what people are saying before overreacting. Nobody is suggesting doing any of the things you're wailing about. Just a simple reduction in long, ongoing chatter that has long since lost relevance in the thread.

Nobody has every said that. You've taken a wild fantasy and built this sand castle of self righteousness from it, while losing sight of the tide coming in. lol

It's the confession session. You bounce posts off each other, sometimes spawning off topic conversation, yet still in a sense revolving around A topic. As long as is doesn't degrade into something that either overshadows the purpose of the thread, or the willingness for other people to post, then its fine. That however doesn't give people a hall pass for casual meaningless conversations, nor allow it to become exactly what the IRC chat-room is designed for.
Creating unnecessary drama is also not part of the concept for the thread, right? 
OT: 2 months ago, i learned that my big sister is pregnant, so i was pretty excited about becoming uncle for the first time. Prior to that, only close cousins bore children, with my own sister it was surprisingly a different kind of excitement and anticipation.
Yesterday i received news that she lost the child. :sad:

I am willing to admit to having over-reacted, but then again when my contributions, amongst others, were singled out as "junk" I tend to get a bit deffensive. :P

Ah, sorry to hear that mate. :(
Hope she's alright, as much as one can be at this stage.
Yeah thanks. She actually has been quite successful in her career and wanted to take a break because of the child, now she is planning to advance the career even further, time will tell whether that´s a good thing or not.
Yesterday i received news that she lost the child. :sad:
sucks. something I don't want to ever experience, hope she'll be alright in every way.
