So I wanted to wrap up the whole hospital thing and get the story back on track. This chapter is a little bit choppy (I suppose you could call it the "vignette" chapter). Moving back into the original plotline next chapter. :)

Author's Note: So here I am, 3000 words into Part 3 of my WIP Train Wreck, when my muse decides to a do a complete 180 and send me whirling into another train wreck of a story. Because two Hollywood AUs aren't bad enough. No, no. I have to go and make three. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a lobotomy to schedule.

Cheers!

My reaction/commentary, etc of The Witchfinder.

(Spoilers lie within...You have been warned)

The only problematic thing about being single is waking yourself up every morning. Without someone stealing my pillow and shouting at me and yanking my hair and opening the curtains and blaring heavy metal music and picking me up and throwing me in the shower and handing me coffee and tylenol as soon as I get out, I may as well be in a coma.

Yeah, pretty much.

( Tee off here )

All I knew about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Män som hatar kvinnor, 2009, Sweden, dir. Niels Arden Oplev, based on the book by Stieg Larsson) was this picture and a one-sentence summary in the AFI European Union Film Showcase booklet. It was a gorgeous picture—the facial structure reminded me of kabal42's—and I thought the film might have some stuff in it about punk or goth or gender politics.

But wow. It was far more than that, and it was excellent. It was tight, it was long, it was gorgeous, it was understated, it was powerful, it was superbly acted. You cared about the characters, and you had to work just hard enough to understand everything that was going on, staying engaged without getting lost. It's worthy of the $100 million it's already grossed in Europe. I'll be surprised if it doesn't get nominated for a Best Foreign Film Academy Award.

In many ways a traditional murder mystery, it was also about ( warning: possibly triggery )

The shift in title from Men Who Hate Women to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is also appropriate since, apparently, in the transformation to the screen the main character changed from investigative journalist Mikael Blomqvist (played by Michael Nyqvist) to hacker Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace), who I agree was more interesting. The film review I linked to with that picture of her said ( mild spoilers ).

I could say stuff about the plot and the amusing showcase of different winter coats and the reference to Nazism in Sweden, and the film's celebration of thorough research, and how all the hacking should have been outdated but managed not to be for the most part, and how the audience chuckled sometimes when the Swedish was close enough to the English subtitles to be recognized (like "mord" for "kill")—even though it's got nothing on Dutch—and so on. Or how the director had a fabulous accent that reminded me alternately of Vincent Perez and Sebastian Roché, even though they're Swiss and French and the director is Danish.

Instead, will just say that the film is due out in the U.S. in March, and it comes highly recommended. Fans of the series in the audience were excited to hear that the second two books were already in production for TV and are now being prepared for feature release -- same cast, different director -- and that if this one does well, they might be released stateside as well.

Title:  The Logistics of Seduction (Part I)
Author:  Alternatealto
Pairing:  House/Wilson
Rating:  PG (This part)
Summary:  Are things with James Wilson ever as they seem?
Spoilers: Series up through "Brave Heart"
Disclaimer:  I'm the only one to blame for this.
Notes:   This is my first time posting the first part of a story before getting the other part/s written!  Sorry, but I needed to leave myself some room to maneuver around "Known Unknowns".   And this can stand on its own, in a way.   When/if more parts follow, they'll probably end up with an NC-17 rating.

I haven't written in this fandom since May! This is just a cute little snippet. I'm taking requests from the first three comments for drabbles, so I thought I'd post it over here. :)
