Sorry if I seem spammy these days, but I always collect things for my weekly post, then it piles up and I don’t end up posting it 'coz it becomes irrelevant. (for instance, I had written a few pages on how the reaction of fandom to Regina as opposed to Rumples annoyed me because it wasn't like she'd even done anything that bad- OH, WAIT.

lol @ Palin.
I'm only seeing Snow White and the Huntsman for Charlize and Chris. In fact, I was refusing to see it just because of KStew until I found out they were in it.
Mirror, Mirror seems much more, playful and fun than serious like SW&TH does. I'll probably see them both.
Regina isn't evil enough. Bleh. I find her boring. And since ... are you caught up on OUAT? I'd hate to spoil you.

I KNOOOOW. I cannot believe people care enough to make a movie about her. I love Julianne Moore and it's going to be SO PAINFUL to see her as Palin. Especially after I watched the YT clip of Palin's reaction to it...I'm hoping it's not real, because she is just SUCH A MORON, UGH, WHYYYYY.

Same here- well, Chris, mainly. I loved him as Thor, so having him as the Huntsman... *gnashes teeth* WELL PLAYED, PTB.

Exactly why I'm interested! I'm more keen on light-hearted stuff than gloom-and-doom ANGST ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE type movies. I'm cackling like a hyena just at the trailer, which is a good sign!

Regina isn't evil enough? I watched the latest ep, and...um, plenty people think she's evil beyond redemption now! I'm amused that you're differing so drastically on that. Care to share why? so I can cling to my hope that she can be redeemed

She's spent what 7-8 episodes, giving parking tickets, booting cars, getting her kicked out of a hotel. Seriously? It's lame. The Evil Queen is the highest ranking of animation villians, #10 in the top 50 Best Movie Villians of all time and THEY'VE GOT HER RUNNING AROUND GIVING PARKING TICKETS? And most people likely only think she's evil beyond redemption because they're finding Jamie extremely attractive, which he is. One evil deed, two if you count what she did to her father, isn't going to make her evil beyond redemption nor live up to the reputation that the Evil Queen carries.

I'm actually not going to be watching the series anymore. I've been a fan of Jamie's for a long, long, long time and only started watching it for him. And now that his character is dead ... well I have no desire to see it. I barely paid attention to it in the first place because it was so ... weak considering what it could have been. ABC has something that could be brilliant and it's just flopping so far. :/

Ha, that's certainly an new pov for me- I've been trying not to get disheartened at people thinking she's the root of all evil just for trying to run Emma out of town, so while I'm sorry she's not living up to your expectations and you're over her, your comment does put it in perspective and give me hope. So thanks for that. ^_^

Aww, I'm sorry that the main reason for you to watch was killed off. *wince* He might come back now and then for flashbacks, but yeah, does look like he's pretty much gone for good, for now anyway. (facebook campaigns notwithstanding)

>_< I'm loving the show, but I'm aware it's not making everyone happy. It's not pushing boundaries enough for some, but I kind of like that it's still pretty easygoing and not fully dark and depressing.

Still, with all the buzz about Snow White now and fairytales being in business, they might always make another series that might suit you better. Have you seen Grimm? It's not to my taste, but it might be better for you.

Nice actress choice! She could totally be you! ^^

Thanks, bb!

Her eyes are sooo pretty, though, ugh, I wish I had the same eyes! Can't find any pics that show them properly, but she has these fabulous green eyes... *sighs enviously*

ETA: this pic isn't in color *shakes fist* but it does show a little how lovely and luminous and pretty they are.

haha, until you mentioned being creepy it wasn't too creepy. :P
at least you didn't mention a csi:miami episode I saw earlier this week...*shudders* It was...eye related shall I say?

borg_princess December 20 2011, 00:56:20 UTC
Damn, hoist on my own petard! *facepalm*

Ugh, I can well imagine eye-related shenanigans on CSI. Wasn't there some totally ludicrously hilarious plot on NY one time where a stork dropped an eyeball in Stella's coffee? Was I hallucinating or did that happen? O.o

On a more palatable note, MOAR CHRISTMAS ICONS With less snow and more adorable animals and munchies!

Oops, sorry for springing that on you...those spiders look totally fake and cheesy, though...

For distraction- finally found a gif of Emma throwing Regina against the wall!

Julianne Moore is a genius ilher

IDK who I'd want to play me. IT'S HAAAAARD. I thought of Angel Coulby for you tbh >:3

Snow White and the Huntsman looks good but idk if I'll end up watching it though. Will most likely check out Mirror, Mirror though, because Julia Roberts is a fantastic comedic actress.

I really need to start watching Once Upon A Time!

borg_princess December 20 2011, 00:58:41 UTC
Completely flawless. *nodnod* She just keeps getting more and more beautiful as she ages, too. :D

Hee, Angel works! Thanks for playing, bb!

Thaaaank youuuu! Someone on the Mirror, Mirror train with me! All these other snobs are pooh-poohing it, but I think it looks like a ton of fun and I'm thinking Julia Roberts is gonna rock it. ^_^

You should! It's such a lovely show. Put that on the list!

Count me in for Mirror Mirror, don't know if I'll do Snow and the hunts... depends on how hard they are on the Queen.

But then I'm the girl that's going to see Chipwrecked, Happy Feet and Author sometime before Christmas too - so I'm hardly a snob.

I loved the Queen's outfit last week, when she was sitting in front of the fireplace!

borg_princess December 16 2011, 05:22:57 UTC
She was utterly stunning through the entire ep!

I tried to find pics of my fave parts, but google/tumblr aren't co-operating. *side-eyes them* You'd think people would be picspamming heaps, tsk, tsk.

Here, have a bts pic of the Evil Queen listening to music!
