I did NOT like the cover of 'Immigrant Song' - fething terrible. I can't stand Karen O and her godawful caterwauling, plus Trent Reznor is a pretentious 14 year old in a 40-something's body, who seems to be still trading off a sound that got old towards the end of the '90s. Awful crap.

The film looks OK though. I loved the book, truth be told.

Not only is it a terrible cover, but the song is about vikings how does that relate to the movie?

When they stop making boat loads of cash.

Do you not know where either the movie or book take place?

Albatross wrote:Well, I've read the book and seen the Swedish film, and even I am having difficulty connecting them to a song about a viking raiding party, in anything other than an extremely tenuous way.

It HAS been a while since I read it, though. PM me?

Yeah, it makes about as much as sense as having a movie about a teenage drama in the US with Iron Maiden's "Run to the Hills" playing during the trailer. Sure the movie is American and the song is about a sample of

American history, but other than they both have US themes they're hardly related.

Well considering you haven't read the book, seen the movie, or read the PM I sent to Alby, it isn't a surprise your perspective hasn't changed.

In The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo there's a lot of rape. So half way there. Now someone needs to connect Vikings to old people doing it and we're golden.

Yeah I got that part, but unfortunately Ahtman hasn't really explained his interpretation of the viking connections in the story. Nor do I think he wants to.

Were your keen senses able to deduce that after the first time I explicitly said I wouldn't gave away anything or the second time I did? Though, you also don't seem to have learned much from either post where I did say you might want to look up a certain concept. So if you want to pretend someone is dodging something look closer to home.

Then you don't really know everything the concept can encompass; that is an example or reappropriation, not the the thing in and of itself.

You can re-appropriate land, culture, objects, music, ideas, etc but wouldn't it be easier if you just specified instead of throwing around loose terms.

Nope. See the movie or read the book and come to your own conclusions. Do you realize you just admitted that you can reappropriate music but this entire time have been acting as if a song only has one meaning and everyone must stick to that one meaning or else they are doing something wrong?
