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.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

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.

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.

Gimme gimme some of that vampire money, c'mon! /MCR

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

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.

I like Kristen better. And I have nothing against Charlize who not only gamely went wherever Arrested Development wanted her to go (even if it was their worst storyline) and rocked a pixie cut for a couple years. Charlize is just a generic kind of very pretty to me.

I never said everyone. I said a significant statistical sampling. I truly believe Charlize is considered more conventionally or popularly beautiful than Kristen. Your disagreeing doesn't change my position as stated in the quote you cite.

I'm giving you a data point.

Because books.
Within the context of the story, it's only important that the queen believes Snow White is more beautiful than she is, and that she considers her a threat. It's also fairy tale logic, so Snow's dark hair, white skin, red lips might be the ultimate in beauty.
