Having seen Prometheus my main takeaway is that these guys would fit right in with the Stargate: Atlantis crew.
Minding them would be like chasing around a two year old at the peak of his oral fixation. Just one long litany of TAKE THAT OUT OF YOUR MOUTH THIS INSTANCE. GO WASH...SPIT IT OUT!! YOU ARE NEVER LEAVING THIS HOUSE AGAIN.
Soundtrack is on iTunes and here, if you want to stream it.
I figured there were/would be rights issues with DVDs. Certainly a second round of cinema showings would seem to indicate a high level of interest.
I'm laughing my ass off (and worrying about the state of the human race) reading a thread on IMDB about SWatH, where the OP states that KS needs breast implants to improve her.
Missed the first ten minutes of Snow White and the Huntsmen the other day, but I enjoyed it, was pretty thoroughly engaged throughout, even though the scenes in fairyland were a little . . . twee. I don't even know what that word means, but it feels right.
Charlize Theron was delicious as the queen, and I want to have troll babies now.
I did spend good parts of the movie cringing at the idea of
Kristen Stewart in another movie where she's caught in a love triangle, so I was fist pumping at the end when it was a non-issue to the resolution of the story. But it still felt odd to me that there was this potential for romance (was it me projecting expectations like a well-trained dog, or was the foundation really there?), especially given that she didn't wake up until the huntman's kiss. Was it just timing? She would have woken up anyway, given time, and it just so happened that she got necro-kisses by two guys with certain levels of affection towards her?
Also, the moment I learned Gus' name, and watched him
dancing with SW, I knew he was a goner.
The dwarves were awesome, and with that level of visual manipulation, I'm kind of frightened. In awe, but, holy crap, I'll not be trusting what I see with my own eyes on a screen ever again.
I was also reveling in the lack of dwarf tossing jokes.
What sort of visual manipulation?
Apparently a sequel has been greenlit.
Making actors like Ian McShane look flawlessly like a dwarf.
It wasn't just "Elijah Wood filmed separately from Viggo Mortensen and the two scenes mashed together" or whatnot. His hands and shoulders were small. So, even in the scenes where it was all just the dwarves were together, there was still awesome creepy magic going on. Like skinny Steve.

They visually manipulated the actors to make them look shorter and more dwarf-like.
I think I saw a different movie than the other people here did. I thought it veered into so bad it's good territory. They stole images from so many different sources, and Charlize Theron, who I normally love, was chewing every bit of scenery she could find. I laughed out loud at some of the more dramatic bits.
Oh, she chewed the scenery alright, and I loved every bit of it.
So why does this one push you to never believing and Captain America didn't?
I'm not sure. Skinny Steve was sure amazing and freaky. I'd have to rewatch, but as flawless as skinny Steve was, these guys seemed moreso. Or maybe it was that there was more of them. Or maybe it was the whole movie had me a bit creeped out, and that just took the cake.
