To celebrate her inclusion in EW‘s Entertainers of the Year issue, Mara — alongside her Social Network cast-mates — emailed EW a personal status update. Hers comes straight from the Dragon Tattoo set in Stockholm, Sweden, where she took a moment to poke fun at Fincher’s well-known penchant for doing dozens of takes.

“It’s -9 degrees Celsius. 37 takes down, only about 42 more to go,” she writes. “Every time he says, ‘Okay, last one,’ I fall for it. Every. Single. Time. If only I could get this damn shrug right, then maybe I could go inside and my nipple ring would have time to thaw out…”

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is scheduled to hit theaters on Dec. 21, 2011.
