So I think what KStew does in any movie she’s in, is basically just like KStew all over the role; she’s not acting as Snow White in 16th century kingdom clashes or whatever, she’s Kristen Stewart as Kristen Stewart in 16th century magical mystics, Princess Mononoke kingdom vs. the common people, fighting Ravenna and falling in love with the Huntsman, kind of deal. It can make her a “bad actor,” or it can make her a really unique brand. There’s no one who’s going to portray Snow White like how KStew does it, because there’s only one KStew.
My official stance is that I like the movie because I like her and I like Hemsworth, but it was a bad movie. Messy editing, hasty development, poor follow through, poor execution overall. Excellent ideas though, and great potential. Lots of closeups of KStew’s face — don’t blame them — her bared shoulders, her rare smile. I do think Charlize Theron is gorgeous, but I’ve never been convinced of her acting; actually I thinks she’s rather flat in most of the roles I’ve seen her in. I agree with R’s assessment that the screenwriters/director had all these ideas they wanted to incorporate into the movie, but when it came to whittling it down into roughly two hours, they were like, fuck/shit. Because you’re rooting for Snow/Man because they’re cute and you’re rooting for the prince because he’s endearing and you’re not…really mustering up any sympathy for the queen because again, sloppy exposition, but you do want to know more — but then there’s like, river women and creepy zombie villagers and alien fairies cropping out of birds and turtles and massive white deer and shit and you’re just like, this is bizarre.
It’s been a while though, since I’ve been like, I wonder if there’s fanfic. And if there’s not, maybe I should write some.

Why Women Will Rule the Economy of the Future
Women are poised to dominate our workforce in the coming years. With each passing decade, more Americans have gone to school and earned a higher degree. But as shown in this chart above, which I compiled from data in a pair of annual reports released by the National Center for Education Statistics, nearly all of that progress since 1975 has been among females (in GREEN).
Women passed men in bachelor’s attainment in 1995 and haven’t looked back since. By 2000, a higher share of females were earning Master’s degrees, where they now out-compete males 8.8 percent to 5.1 percent. The pattern has been similar across every racial demographic. Among whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians, women have simply made more progress.
