rape scene(s) in the movie, maybe they just don't want to actually see it. It's one thing to read about it or maybe see it in the news, it's a whole different thing to see it on the screen in front of you. Maybe that's why they're not going?

The title gives of a masculine vibe on a female....women are still girly girls at the theater...hollywood does not get this!!! {nm} 1bloke Dec 13, 16:43

Because they think DCraig is as sexy as a bowl of oatmeal? {nm} islander Dec 13, 16:43

He cleans up good for the Bond movies, but otherwise ... oatmeal. {nm} JDolphin Dec 13, 18:41

*Every* non-Bond movie he's made has been a b.o. disappointment. I don't think anyone likes him, almost even actively avoiding his films {nm} islander Dec 13, 19:05

Apparently it's because women are "escapist, 'movie-date' oriented" *insert eyeroll here* Jane_Citizen Dec 13, 17:37

Maybe some of them are, and they just generalise for the rest using that brush. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Dec 13, 17:47

I'd call it using a reductive preconception to justify the holding of a strongly-felt belief Jane_Citizen Dec 13, 18:14

I'm with you !! {nm} grammar Dec 13, 18:22

With that sentence, he's talking about horror movies, not female audiences. Instead, I'd make the generalisation that opening weekend RogerMore Dec 13, 19:34

oh you're right ... I haven't read that very closely ... Jane_Citizen Dec 13, 19:38

*sigh* correction: who don't know anything ... Jane_Citizen Dec 13, 19:41

I think that you actually had it correct the first time. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Dec 13, 19:55

interesting review Jane_Citizen Dec 13, 19:26

Yes, so am I. How can anyone not look forward to a David Fincher movie? And I'm enjoying the Reznor take on "Immigrant Song," too. {nm} second gary Dec 13, 19:42

I loved the series and loved the Swedish versions of the film. I'm looking forward to seeing the US version. {nm} photochick814 Dec 14, 07:24

Because the trailers look dull. Never head of the books, the promos don't grab my attention at all. {nm} JDolphin Dec 13, 18:46

how is that even possible, "never heard of the books" ... ?? gosh. {nm} Jane_Citizen Dec 13, 19:30

Are you Male/Female? {nm} bloopster Dec 13, 19:53

And are you alive/dead? {nm} Roger More Dec 13, 20:05

Female, either alive or functioning zombie since I'm posting. The books don't sound like something I'd be interested in any way. {nm} JDolphin Dec 13, 22:49

Not really a Fincher fan either. Except for Social Network, I find his movies boring and wouldn't recommend any of them. {nm} JDolphin Dec 13, 22:55

the books were red hot in 2008. Nice avatar btw {nm} kydem Dec 14, 03:54
