      attended a q and a monday with noomi...a deligtful lady...she is a bit kooky and was a punk at 14 in 1994 ..said she had to travel to copenhagen to find clubs

      she is very deliberate with her answers but she is thinking in swedish and the converting it to english....michelle williams has now got some opposition

      She is beeyoooooteeful. I think it's interesting how really serious method actors - I'm pretty sure that's her approach - can commit totally when doing a movie (as she has obviously done), but when they are present before the camera as themselves, they seem to get quite self-conscious and squirmy; she looks down and away alot, and also moves her mouth hesitantly before she answers each question. I think it's adorable, but I also ask myself why method actors aren't more secure in there ability and beauty.

      She was known in Sweden way before this. Can't recall if I liked her or not. The first part of the trilogy is very impressive, actually. Mind you that Swedish movies usually sucks. And she acts very well, as do Mikael. It will be fun and weird to see them do hollywood movies in the future.

      Oh, and I just think Charlie likes strong women, like Lisbeth.

      Charlie thinks she's a hot woman. Reminds me tho of one of my old girlfriends, who used to spend hours in front of a mirror. The series is a lot tamer than one would expect from just this first film. Thus I am somewhat suspicious of the way the character was portrayed in this one. But the part calls for a girl, not an Amazon, nor a beauty queen, one obviously fitted to the role of heroine, so a Goth type comes to mind, even if she recalls Spider-Woman or something like that. What appeals is undoubtedly this aspect. I am not sure it works, but I am not the intended audience. BTW, I did not get the idea she was sexually experienced, indeed, I would have said just the opposite.
