Later that day I delved into "Once Upon a Time's" much darker backstory of how the queen got to be so wicked. It made for an interesting contrast to the frothier Mirror Mirror, underscoring that there are many sides to a single story. Apparently, the queen began life as a nice, normal lovestruck girl. But then her mother murdered her fiance (as so often happens in these sorts of setups), a turn of events unwittingly precipitated by a child-aged Snow White. As they say, all heck broke loose, and the wicked stepmother persona was born. I hear that Snow White and the Huntsman promises to be even more disturbing. Which means that I'll have to skip it. Psychological thrills can be intriguing, but I can't abide the kind of gore conjured by the word "hunstman."

Oh, I just had to see what you had to say about Armie. First, who would name their kid that, but I guess they must be witty. Still, he's been badly trashed these days through his divorce and more. I don't know what to think. Still, there has always been something about him that left me a little off. But then again, I thought he was just a poor little rich boy trying to make his way in the world.
It's so funny that you found this! It's been a minute since I've thought about The Social Network. But yes, it's a shame about Armie. It seems that every time you surf the web you find out about another celeb guy preying on women. Most recently, I've been reading about Thomas Middleditch's atrocious behavior and divorce, and now it's hard for me to watch him in anything.
