Maybe less terrible?

Speaking of upcoming movies, they've also unleashed an "Extended Sneak Peek Trailer" for Snow White and the Huntsman. I'm on board with the fight scenes and magic and all, but less sold on the whole "inner beauty" nonsense. I mean, is Kristen Stewart (a lovely young woman, although perhaps less acclaimed for her looks than Charlize Theron) really supposed to be the fairest in the land because she's the nicest? She possesses "rare beauty" in her heart? And, if so, wouldn't any non-murderer have a more beautiful heart than the wicked Queen, and therefore rank somewhere on her to-be-killed list? I'm pretty sure I'm going to regret seeing this movie, but these are questions that must be answered.

Note: Also, why does the Queen wear her crown while she bathes? That's gonna need an explanation, too.

Just saw this trailer last night when I went to see the Hunger Games!

I guess I didn't get the whole "inner beauty" thing. I thought they just meant Kristin Stewart was destined to become more beautiful than the queen (which frankly, seemed a little impossible since Charlize Theron is gorgeous). So at least inner beauty makes more sense than that, but I totally get what you mean. The queen's got no shot at being the fairest if it's based on inner beauty!

Well, I could totally be confused by the trailer's message (Lord knows that's happened before!), but I didn't get the sense that Stewart was supposed to be straight-up better-looking than Theron. Maybe they're giving points for being both pretty and non-evil...?
