I think they look fine, but I have no idea if they can act.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I know Hemsworth as the guy from that awful Miley Cyrus movie that looked like a year-later remake of that awful Channing Tatum movie. Which does not fill me to overflowing with confidence in his acting ability.

Okay, what's weird is that I thought they were cast the other way round. Now I'm not as at peace with it.
