No, seriously, I'd rather watch Devour while sober.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

But their movie still has Kristen Stewart
True, but it's offset by the presence of Theron (whose V.O. in the trailer I find cheestastic but in a kind of awesome way) and the Thor guy. I've only watched first Twilight movie and haven't read any of the books, and I have no particular objection to Stewart, actually. Whereas the other Snow White movie just looks ridiculous. Which is too bad because I really liked the director's previous film, The Fall (although that might have been mostly for Lee Pace in eyeliner.)

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Wow, Tarsem is behind Mirror Mirror? So does not appear to be a Tarsem movie.

Because books.
I like a darker interpretation of Snow White. Cinderella can be fun to goof around with, but Snow White deserves some bloodthirstiness. Even the new show Once Upon a Time, for all its sweet fairy tale fantasy, has a darker edge to that part of the story once in a while.
I'm still weirdly fond of Kristen Stewart from Panic Room and Speak. She was especially good in that, and it's not an easy story.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I like Kristen Stewart too. I find her sullenness in the public spotlight endearing.

Because books.
Yes, exactly! And in that, she and RPatts are well-matched, although he only seems sullen about the Twilight movies. And you know, go ahead and be bitter while you're rolling naked in money, buddy.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Because at least Inception included that bone chilling deep note in the movie itself.
Yes, and it wasn't random. There was a reason behind it.
And you know, go ahead and be bitter while you're rolling naked in money, buddy.
Gimme gimme some of that vampire money, c'mon! /MCR

I may take cotton balls for use as earplugs, but I plan to go and enjoy watching Taylor Kitsch walk around dressed in leather straps for a couple of hours.

News flash: the opposite of good is John Carter.
Dangit. I loved those books so much when I was nine.
I like Kristin Stewart, but mostly because she was quite good in the Runaways. Even though I had cognitive dissonance when she had a sex scene with Coraline (Dakota Fanning). (Which was totally hot and made great use of the Stooges "I Wanna Be Your Dog.")

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Any movie that posits that Charlize Theron is convinced she's losing a battle of looks to Kristen Stewart has to also sell me on it being a critique of the kyriarchy bullshit--a) of the value of looks and b) of the idea that Kristen is ranked above Charlize in any significant statistical sampling of non-Twihards.
