The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 2011
Man, this is what I get for trying to understand the zeitgeist.
I was in a state of constant confusion during this film's epically long journey to nowhere. I'm even confused by the title The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Well, there's a totally "heart-warming" scene where Jonah Hill lets a kid know it's ok to be gay. Of course this comes AFTER the roller-skating uber-homo who talks with a latin lisp and acts…
