Fairy tales: the original horror movies.
That reminds me of Seanan's blog post about the intersection of horror, fantasy, and urban fantasy.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The Queen is invited to the wedding of the prince and his new bride, not realizing that the new bride is Snow White. At the wedding, a pair of heated iron shoes are brought out with tongs, and the Queen is forced to wear them and dance until she dies.
That's like something right out of Game of Thrones.

And the queen & wicked stepsister in Ever After thought they had it rough becoming servants...

This is one of my favorite collections of the Grimm's stories: [link]
In fact, I should dig it out and re-read it soon.

In the original version of Cinderella, they all had their eyes pecked out by birds. And the two girls basically maimed themselves trying to get their feet to fit into the glass slipper.

Chopped off their heels and toes, as my mom would remind me often when we were shoe shopping.

Oh, yeah, big fan of Into the Woods, so we could even sing about the blood in the shoes...if we wanted to.

I have that same collection, Jilli.

If you didn't want to do the legwork in calculating Avenger screentime: [link] (doesn't include Fury or Loki).
I would not have guessed that Steve actually got more screentime than Tony, as I was left wanting more of the former and less of the latter.
Loki seemed to know plenty about the Earth when he was visiting Thor during his imprisonment in the Branagh film. I gathered that he may have traveled to the planet on his own and learned a thing or two prior to the events of that movie.

In Norse lore Loki hangs out on Earth a lot, being a trickster god and whatnot.
