Yeah, it's a damned shame none of the rest of them have distance weapons...

I suspect Mr. 98-Pound-Weakling Who Kept Volunteering To Enlist Despite Multiple Rejections might not be the first to recommend cutting a highly-motivated comrade-in-arms who doesn't quite measure up to everyone else physically.

Consuela linked to this Florence + the Machine music video to Snow White and the Huntsman in her LJ: [link]

1) The movie looks fantastic.

2) The music video trailer... basically gives away the entire movie?

3) They totally want me to ship Snow White with the Huntsman, right? I mean, prince, what prince?

Or, maybe Steve considers himself proof that it does take something more to fight that fight safely. It's not like he contributed while he was still 98 lbs soaking wet. Is Clint signed up for any experiments?

How did I forget there was a prince in Snow White? The king's nice wife pricks her finger doing embroider--blood, cotton, hoop, baby wish, and then she dies, and he marries again, and the new one's kinda stank and when her mirror tells her she's not the most beautiful one anymore she sends the Huntsman to kill Snow White, but he brings back a deer's heart instead...and then I got nothing.

My god, my memory of fairy tales is for crap, given how much I used to read them. Maybe I read too many, and my mind is occupied with the Goose Girl and stuff Disney hasn't enshrined yet.

I like the idea and the artistic direction I've seen of Snow White so far, and my Chris Hemsworth crush is *way* bigger than I'd have predicted, so maybe I will go look, even though I think Charlize should kill everyone she finds threatening to her beauty. She's so pretty...

he brings back a deer's heart instead...and then I got nothing.

And he warns Snow White to run away, so she runs into the forest and finds the Dwarfs' house, where they take her in as free household help. The mirror tells the Queen Snow is still alive (one supposes the Huntsman made tracks), and disguising herself as a beggar woman, she goes to the house and offers Snow a poisoned apple.

Because of narrative necessity, Snow doesn't die from the poison, but falls into a coma. The Dwarfs build her a glass coffin, and the Prince, wandering by, sees the coffin and falls in love (ew?). He kisses her awake, they marry, ta-da.

I'm not sure how the Queen is defeated: it might be one of the "she flew into a rage so great she burned herself up" moments.

Ha! My Snow White has no dwarves. I can't believe that.

Oh, dear. Rotten Tomatoes gives The Raven 21% (Audience 55%), though this particular review...

If you take it as agreeably macabre nonsense, yes, you might enjoy it. If you're going to have a conniption fit over every historical inaccuracy, however, give it a pass.

...makes it sound like it might be enjoyable enough. I'll report back. (Please, please, please not horrible anachronisms...Signed, Still Irritated by a recent Staged Dracula referring to Harker's "dime store cross"...because really, what's a "dime" in Victorian England?)

t Pedant tag never closes

I remember a version that said the prince's kiss dislodged the piece of apple from her throat, and then she awoke. Which adds another level of ew.

I hope she's actually in love with the prince. Otherwise it's one guy handing over the prize to another guy, and that would just suck.

Wait...doesn't that make it sound like it has horrible anachronisms?

You have read fairy tales, right?
