Does a little girl die at the end of the movie? Yes? Then no. We don't want that. That's not a movie we wanted to see.
Little scenario for you:
We went to see Pan's Labyrinth in the theater, and we were both mega-excited. There was this whole lie about "adult fairytale" not meaning "girl gets shot in the stomach," but then, there at the end? Girl gets shot in the stomach.
Sorry if that's a spoiler! Here's the girl not shot in the stomach:
See? Adorable.
Then we borrowed The Host from our sister, who failed to mention the girl, you know, dying at the end. Even though we were having a conversation about Pan's Labyrinth at the same time we borrowed it. True story.
Here's that girl, also before the dying:
Also adorable! It wouldn't be so bad if the movie was called Little Girls Dying For Two Hours, because we'd probably know what was up in that one. Probably look weird renting it, though.
From now on, when we borrow a movie, we are going to ask only one question: "Does a little girl die at the end of this movie?" Because it turns out that's important.
Maybe we should switch from the well-reviewed movies with the politics and the special effects and the drama and the good acting and the threat of little girls dying to, I don't know, the movie we watched on Sunday:
At least with Jessica Alba involved, you know what's coming. Greatness. Fantastic acting and drama. And never the feeling that she is a doll with painted eyes. And hair.

you borrowed it from nicole. but i did forget to remind you that if you're a baby, you might cry about the girl dying instead of marveling at the hotness of one of the best creature movies.
thank you, charlotte. and also, you just totally ruined pan's labyrinth for me. in actuality. now i will never watch it. only think of you and how you ruined it for me.
