I think the first one looks better than the second one for a few reasons. Most importantly: Charlize vs. Julia. I mean, Julia needs to split already. I'm soooo bored with her. And Charlize is just perfection. But they lose points for K. Stew. But on the other hand, the other Snow White is Phil Collins' daughter. So... You know.

Gooood Lord, I had no idea about any of these movies. Watched the trailer most of the way through for the first one, and thought it might be somewhat decent to watch, although it looks like a mash-up of about 20 other movies I've seen. The Snow White part was a bit of a reach.

Oh, Hollywood... I really dislike you at times.

I know that it's terrible, but I still watch and enjoy Once Upon a Time. I also watch Grimm, though I'm not sure it's terrible. However, I'd watch Grimm even if it was terrible, because I am homesick and it's OH so Portland. And one of my best friends' husband did some extra work on the show and I've seen him in the background of life 5 episodes (he's huge and beefy, so he's always a cop).

Not sure about all this other crap though. Comedy Snow White? Hmmm ...

tilte - gutter hair!! Yes! And I agree. She should never be cast in another movie, ever again. And I mean, they both look mildly entertaining but it's like: We already know the story and the movie's been done countless times!

Melissa - I wonder if this will be as bad as the time JR ruined the Ocean's 11 sequel. Oh God that was awful.

Sweetest - I'm sure you're right!! There's got to be thousands of awesome scripts out there and no one's giving them a chance!

Mary - Should've known you and Greg would be in the know already!

MM - I'm sure sleeping beauty will get raped soon!

OK. Can't stand the vampire girl. But I've...

OK. Can't stand the vampire girl. But I've got mad love for Charlize Theron, and SHE is the reason I'm tempted to see that. Someday.

But the Julia Roberts one? Just ... blech.

I've been saying for years that Hollywood has run out of ideas. Any more redos/reups/ride-based movies (1 was OK, the rest were ridiculous) and its official.

But wait! They've still got Sleeping Beauty! (Didn't they go through a Cinderella phase awhile back? Ever After etc, etc.?)

And totally agree that having a blond Wicked Witch (Theron) is just so not right!!!

2012-01-20T14:56:51.668-08:00

hahahah....Greg and I were just talking about this the other day! We got our Entertainment weekly and I was like "Sweet Jesus...how many freakin' takes on Snow White can they do?" I think we counted at least six Snow White adaptations coming out this year alone.

My guess is that there are plenty of provocative, edgy scripts out there that never make it past the first set of readers. And those that do? The agents can't get the studios to pick them up. Because the studios know that shit sells. Unfortunately, most movie-goers would be lucky to have half of your intelligence and humor.

My hubby is always complaining that nothing new is created in Hollywood these days, and this just proves that he's absolutely correct. I have seen the preview for the first one w/K-Stew (aka botox face), and despite this bit of casting, I have to admit that it does look interesting. The second one I had not heard about, and looks a little silly and Disney-esque. I am also not fond of Julia Roberts and her horrid fake British accent. Was there something so wrong with the original version that led to this onslaught of Snow White knock-offs?? Or have we seriously just run out of original ideas?

On another note, I'm sorry about your neck and late-night calls, but thank you for this LOL in an otherwise icky and stressful day.

2012-01-20T12:54:42.607-08:00

First video: Fucking AWFUL. Kristen Stewart?? They choose the sour-pussed corpse-face with gutter hair to play Snow White?????? I don't fucking understand what's going on here.

Second video: Meh. I could do without Julia Roberts, but this one doesn't look quite as repulsive to me. It does seem a little cheesy, but it looks like it might be aimed at the younger crowd (ie., kids), which is why they have the cornball jokes. I imagine we'll be taking Pearl to this one.
