Mikael Håfström...

First came ondskan. And the only reason to why Ondskan got such good criticism was because of Guillou's story. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HÅFSTRÖM. I've read the book, and it's an easy story to addapt to the screen. Håfström didn't do an unusually good effort.

And then came strandvaskaren. WHAT - A - JOKE. It's terrible. Håfström should be ashamed. I think Sweden have done many great movies (especially Bergmans), but Håfström lowers our standard! I just want to punch him in the face.

And now there is Derailed. When I first heard about the movie I thought it was a joke. Håfström directing a movie with Clive Owen?! He's a great actor! And Aniston? Well, she's not a good actress but she has starquality. And Håfström directing these two actors? I'm laughing just at the thought. Who does he think he is? He's nothing but an extremely overrated and bad director. Somebody should tell him to stop. He's just embarrassing. And he embarrasses our country.

Håfström, realise the facts and get of the stage. No one want's to see your crappy movies anyway.

Well I can see why you as a Ingmar Bergman-fan just had to go see a film about a masked killer and then complain about it.

And Derailed? Wait until you've seen it! But then again... it won't be a new Bergman-film this time either. It's gonna be a Mikael Håfstöm-film! But a great excuse for you to bitch about yet another film you didn't wanna see in the first place.

Are you retarded?
Do you think, just because I'm a Bergman-fan, I ONLY watch Bergman-movies?
And did it EVER occure to you that maybe I saw the movie with my friends, and that a bergman-movie isn't very entertaining at that situation?
Please, just leave this board... and take your braincell with you.

Sorry if I insulted you in some way - I just didn't get why you think Håfström should quit making film just because you don't like him? He didn't force you to see it, did he? And I just wanted to say that you shouldn't go and see Derailed if you don't think you will like it. Save the money for some other film.

Oh, and it didn't occure to me that you saw the film with your friends. I've seen Berman-movies with my friends. Yes, I kind of like the old fart too. :)

1. You didn't insult me, you annoyed me.
2. I, ME, MYSELF want Håfström to stop make movies. He embarresses our country and that's MY opinion. If you want Håfström to continue doing crap-movies, then fine with me. I don't care.
3. I AM going to see the movie, but only because it's two of my favourite actors - AND, ofcourse, so I can go home and dwell and mourne how bad Håfström is.

Hahaha! Cool. Kind of why I saw "Tre Solar"... Damn, that film is pure "dwell and mourne"-gold!

Oh, and fyi Malin, you´re the one who embarresses our country by behaving like a little kid asking him to stop making movies on a forum? What is all that crap about? First of all, he doesnt read these boards and second, he would´nt give a *beep* about what YOU think. Go watch a Bergman movie you annoying little bitch

[–] xander_magic 14 years ago

Malin you´re a big fat whiner, you know that dont you?
Hafstram was actually one of the few, if not the only Swede that´s done a pretty good job at directing a Scandinavian Horror/Slasher.

And look at his latest additions, 1408 was a great horror movie, and Hafstram is going to make it big in America, he´s got what it takes, for sure.
