The final movie chapter in Stieg Larsson’s so-called Millenium Trilogy books finally came to my local independent theater, and I decided to see it before I actually read this book, since I knew it would not be around long enough for me to finish reading. “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest” actually wraps up the ongoing story of Lisbeth Salander in a very neat and tidy way. There aren’t loose ends, so much as there is the possibility of more to come, and in fact Stieg Larsson, who died at the age of 50 before seeing any of these books published, left an unfinished book behind, and possibly synopses for more.
Actually, I haven’t even started the last book in the trilogy, though I’ve read the first two. I probably won’t even buy it, now that I’ve seen the movie. All of the movies stayed relatively true to the plot and the spirit of the books.
Of course there are details omitted, but the basic stories remain mostly unchanged. This isn’t like the complete rewriting Ludlum’s Bourne books received, where the end product in no way resembled the novels.

Panasonic TC-P50GT25 – With a tweakable THX mode
Panasonic TC-P50GT25 is a 50 inch 3D plasma TV and this product is also available in 42 inch size called Panasonic TC-P42GT25. The picture quality on both the TVs is the same and there are no major differences apart from the size of the TV.
This is the second 3D TV from Panasonic for the year 2010. The previous one was a flagship model and the manufacturer had put in all possible features. Hence it was really expensive. For the Panasonic TC-P50GT25, the manufacturer has cut a few corners in order to keep the price low. The design of the TV is pretty lukewarm. There is nothing aesthetically appealing about this panel apart from the bronze brownish strip on the TVs bottom. The TV is glossy black and it is accompanied by a stylish stand which lets the display swivel on sides.
Panasonic TC-P50GT25 is three and half inch thick on the sides which means this doesn’t have LED technology. I liked the feature set of this panel for the price that it is offered for. On the back, there are two HDMI ports and one is on the side. You will also find two component video inputs and a VGA jack for computer connectivity. Remember that for PC, you don’t get the full possible resolution.
