Swedish is such a pretty language, too. Any tips on where to begin?
Would any of these do?

It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J

I definitely prefer the original, but the Branagh one was pretty good too.

I watched all of the "original" Swedish TV programmes (not watched the movies, yet) and then I watched Brannagh.

He was fucking awful... an emotional mess, from start to finish. And I'm not knocking him for being in touch with his feelings, as there's nothing wrong with being compassionate - but that works very badly in some professions. There is no way that that character could play a senior cop in any police force.

The Swedish (TV) version had issues, too, but he managed to be professional about it.

I'm watching my 5-yr old son play Mario Kart Wii, and he's better at it than I am.

I just watched Marvel Avengers for the first time tonight. On Blu-Ray. "I haz me a new flavor. And that flavor is shawarma." (And of course, I cried.)

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.
