Yeah—that's pretty much the sort of logic I was working with! Never seen a picture of a princess sucking her finger have you? Quod erat demonstrandum...

The rest of the interview doesn't bother me much but that princesses == superheroes equivalence—good god. That's why some people say comic book women should be all tits and ass, because they're for boys.

I am of a number of minds of this, but if you look back over the resume and it's noticeable that you haven't managed to tell a single female-led story in a quarter century? I'm not mad if that affects your decision making process from there on in. There are a million and a half stories to be told (or seven—I can never…

Her parents are alive.

I did end up stopping sucking on my finger because I thought it was an obstacle to my princess-hood. So I do figure it can be useful—until they start putting two and two together.

Shit—my bad. Fassbender had to drop out, and is replaced by Hiddleston. Thanks for keeping me honest, I had totally forgotten that. But he did originally have the role.

Oh, most excellent. I do love fannish cufflinks. These are next on my shopping list.

Okay, I'm a little less sad about Colin Ferguson losing out on the Munster role, now. Just a little. WTF is that, even?

It's Tilda Swinton, Fassbender, and Hurt. If I got more excited, I'd need medical care.

Say something so stupid? That's part of the core of Spider-Man's characterisation, for decades now.

Difference is, so far, Tom Hardy has earned the artistic cred many times over, and Hemsworth's so far just a charismatic cute big guy.

a) Mad Max 4 is this fangirl's wet dream (even before the got the ridic great casting)

So, like every 6 to 8 weeks, you mean? No wonder I'm so fucking tired all the time...

Yeah, a 180 flip doesn't change the paradigm very much.

Do you have any idea how the box office for this move compares to, say, Cars II?

Despite the collection of weapons I have around me and have had since I was Merida's age, this does give me some pause as well—because I think it seems to be the assumption that boys (or men) won't see it unless she steals from the stereotypical male behaviours.

Only when I'm given the cue. I'm sure you know other words for when you don't mean literal, right?

There is Philippus if you're going with the Themiscyra. Their whole Nubian sisters thing was a bit dodgy.

I still haven't found a balance between iconic and alien that works for Superman. Because the look we're used to is *so* simple, and really pretty American, many of the attempts to fancy it up fail for me.

The first article seem to be saying it was medicinal, and also candy was difficult to prepare.
