    If you choose to ever re-watch Melancholia, imagine that the characters already know about the oncoming rogue planet during the wedding reception. It's visible to the naked eye that evening, scientists would know all about it by now. Was the wedding perhaps an excuse to throw a big celebration with family? Justine keeps looking up at it, while the rest of the folks at the wedding are acting like it's not a big deal. She's in the mood she is because sees the end coming, while everyone else is in denial. Then in the second half, we see that she's come to peace with it, whereas Justine's sis and bro in law were in denial during the wedding and thus handling it much more poorly than Justine was before. The husband, who doesn't seem to visibly grieve at all on the final day, doesn't even make it to the end.
    You can choose to accept your fate and embrace our inevitable and beautiful end, or you can pretend everything is normal and then be much worse off once the truth can no longer be ignored.

    I don't suppose there is a point in commenting on a video this old but as I watch this in 2020 there are three more books, not by Stieg Larsson who died in 2004 but by David Lagercrantz. I recently read his first sequel and I hesitate to spoil it for anyone but the girl with the tattoo goes without any action for a long period and just survives by her wits for a while in hiding. This was basically an interesting tutorial in how to obtain a safe house by the quickest and easiest means possible with not much of a network of friends to draw upon. Normally this is no problem in an action movie, the hero simply crashes someplace in an industrial area or a house that happens to be deserted and moves on after a nap or bottle of whiskey or something. Maybe this is plausible enough for most but I think the series is priding itself on realistic and minute procedural details, so it has to make this long stretch interesting, and it does. The whole interface between private and official investigators is a theme for all the novels that I think is skipped in the movies apart from the journalism perspective, a pity, because the private security characters are much more honest in their assessments because getting paid by the job cuts down on the politics interfering. Also you have to be competent in a private firm, although at the bottom rungs, people who urban police call upon to patrol people who get death threats when they can't spare anyone, are not very competent at all. We get more of a picture of competent but not excellent cyber security experts, and its actually very interesting, although I think there are CZcams videos that show more detail as to security methods and devices. The point is, most of this small army of official and private security protecting average urban citizens and small business are outmatched by the much larger, ruthless, criminal and espionage organizations. They would soon lose the struggle were it not for eccentric but oddly overskilled quirky detectives who are the heroes. I am thinking to tune into Homeland to see more of this, also there are a lot of similar scandi procedurals such as The Bridge that are still innovative a decade after airing.

    Why does the info say this video was published on jun 26 2015, but it feels like it was filmed in 2011? Is it a re-upload?

    RLM’s reaction to super 8 is about what I expected, despite the fact that it’s my favorite movie of all time

    Are you saying Fight Club was stylistically designed to be that way?

    Super was great. But reading some of the user reviews was frustrating.

    The sketch parts of these reviews are fantastic. The interplay between the characters is so cynical and "schlocky" it kinda wins the internet.
