It's just subtle storytelling differences, and for me it works better in the abandoned script. He explicitly tells the king (b/c the set-up is very different—fairies and humans are allied until Mal finds out the King is going to betray the fairies; she locks down the moors & Stefan volunteers to go in after her) that…

(spoilers abound, for those reading!)

Yes, he did, in both versions of the story (cut off her wings, that is). However, it is NEVER ADDRESSED AGAIN and it made for a really unsatisfactory character arc. She didn't say anything to him about it in their big confrontation. Neither did he. I kept expecting him to make some kind of declaration, try to…

But in fairness, the reviews are all pretty spot on. The plot is water thin (and super predictable), the special effects are terrible, and Jolie is the movie's saving grace. I've read the original script and the end result is definitely not quite up to par. It once had a much better plot with deeper character arcs and…

I saw it yesterday and came away very luke warm, and couldn't figure out why. Then I read the original draft of the script, which was SO MUCH BETTER IN EVERY WAY, and I'm wishing they'd made a slightly different movie. The script Jolie signed on for gave Maleficent a far richer backstory that wasn't just motivated by…

I am guessing you are male, or if female do not have large breasts. It is nigh on impossible to find attire that doesn't show off my bra strap in some fashion. Either the neck scoops too wide and you can the top of the strap on my shoulder, or the racer back scoops in and you see a hint of the hinge on the back. Or…

It's been mentioned elsewhere, but in the U.S. a huge part of it is an element of selection bias. The individuals from these countries that both choose to immigrate and are allowed to immigrate (granted visas) tend to be highly educated in their home countries. I work in international TV and look at a lot of Census…

In my experience "pizza sauce" has a thicker consistency (less chunky/watery) and is a bit sweeter. But yeah: it is exactly like marinara sauce but when marketed in a can/with your Boboli (man, remember those?) it is called pizza sauce. Basically this woman is crazy and a bit dumb.

The reporter asked why Justin is doing movies, of all things, and Mila takes umbrage and is basically like "Why shouldn't he do movies? That's a silly question. Why are YOU here? Why are you doing your job?" IMO she kind of flipped out over nothing but it's very cool to see her lay smackdown in Russian!

The big one is chewing—cords, fingers, hair, etc. You can certainly train a cat not to chew and be destructive. Another thing you can definitely train out of them is aggressive play and biting—especially of human fingers and other appendages. A lot of people let cats do this as kittens because it's cute, and then next…

Sorry I went into the cat speech :) Some rescue people are srs assholes, so I totally get it (I interacted with several when I was trying to adopt my 2nd cat). I hope you find one that is less judgey and get an awesome cat!

Well, while rudeness is not cool, that adoption worker asked you incredibly relevant questions. Kittens are a bad idea if you both work full time—kitten training is a PITA and you can't leave them alone all day. Cats get tossed ALL THE TIME when couples break up, so I get why she asked; it's a risk. Kittens that grow…

That was my experience, as well, looking to adopt a 2nd cat in Southern California. I gave up on several rescues because their restrictions were insane. I ended up lucking out and finding the perfect cat at an adoption event, and even though it said on the org's forms that they required X, Y, Z (including a home…

I loved it too! I was laughing all night, and super happy for most of the winners (I was stony-face-whatever during a few speeches). And the Twitter commentary was fabulous. It's the first Oscars I've genuinely enjoyed in more than a decade. I think everyone who hated it needed to be drinking more/on Twitter/weeping…

*shrug* This is not really news—I've seen studies/findings like this before, and it's one of the reasons I gave up on margarine and went back to butter. I've always been a whole milk drinker, though—I've never liked the skim/no fat stuff. That said, I don't consume milk or butter on the regular—which is why it's…

As a reader, yes! Do this! It's very annoying reading a book right when it comes out and then being fuzzy on details when book two releases a year later.

Not British but Australian: Dance Academy. It's basically Center Stage: the TV show but with dancers that can actually act, set in Australia and with a more teen soap feel. The first two seasons are on Netflix and the third aired last summer.

Yes! All because the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo dumped him! But seriously... did you catch how in The Social Network they got the BU paper wrong? These are the things that bug me XD

Who gets a thank you card? I've been on Facebook since the first month it was created (yeah, I'm one *those* assholes XD), and I got nada. Probably cause I went to BU. *insert The Social Network burn here*

Has gastric bypass really gone out of style? I know four people that have had it in the last 1.5 years—and none were in a medical emergency situation. But none medically qualified for the sleeve. As far as I've seen it, gastric bypass is becoming MORE popular, not less. If you go to a reputable doctor and all that,…
