[PREVIEW] 🎙🧚♀️ #089 - Mirror Mirror
from Commentary Fairy
It's been a moment since we've done one of these, but what better film to restart the engine with than everyone's second-favourite 2012 live-action adaptation of the fairy-tale of Snow White? It may also be the perfect film to clog the engine permanently, but we'll see what happens. This will probably be the last of our twin-film double-features - Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman - what a triumphant way to close out the category! Which film provides the most re-imaginative re-imagining of a classic and still-applicable tale of desperately clinging to one's looks to the detriment of all those around? It's gonna be fu[n]**** finding out! Discussed in this episode: The original fairy-tale's burn-the-villain's-feet-until-she-dies-of-shock happy ending Armie (I-Will-Kill-You-With-A) Hammer (And-Eat-You) Casting dwarves to play dwarves. Obvious, really. Julia Roberts' unevenly-named children Stripper poles Armie's refusal to shave his chest but enthusiastic consent to eating human flesh Irresponsibly-depicted kicks from horses that are played for comedy and don't sever the character's spinal cord and kill them instantly or, at best, paralyse them for life I'm-a-dog-now acting Sarc - noun (Artmannian, informal) - a sarcophagus The Missing Dinklage Phil Collins, star of Hook Eddard Stark heading out of Game of Thrones early so he can cameo in this motion picture Changing genre to Bollywood musical in the last five minutes Clearly replacing Julia's "gross" and probably great hag makeup with last-minute digital craftmanshit Is that Phil Collins or James Taylor? It's BOTH! One night only. The problem with Toy Story 2 (if you want to sync it up to the film, we hit PLAY @ 6:45)
