Entry 4: RE: "Snow White" - The Unfairest of Them All

Posted by: Bradley Redder

From the brilliant Lord of the Rings

I'm not entirely sure why you posted that video, but thank you for doing so. My guess is you secretly feel guilty about the bullshit you're trying to pull with this Lord of the Rings question, and want to be found out, otherwise you wouldn't have chosen a video that so clearly delineates our roles in its scenario... I read it as I'm the wronged angel who is being set up by a crooked lawyer (you) by using cheap theatrics to shock the jury; everybody knows I'm in the right, but how can you stare at a child accusing molestation and tell him to shut his mouth? In our case, if you're not following, the child and anatomically correct doll represent Lord of the Rings.

I don't understand why you need a frame of reference to talk about this. Have you that little to complain about the actual film that you're willing to spend half of your posts re-iterating a useless question? If we talk about a sci-fi film (like next week!) do I have to tell you how it stacks up to 2001 or Star Wars? Do I have to compare a movie that has sharks to Jaws? It makes no sense, this question you insist on asking. If you say my praise is baseless, that's fine, but poke holes in the actual praise I've sewn... Don't pull out a whole new tapestry. And for what it's worth, I think Snow White owes its existence much more to Tim Burton's demonically overwrought Alice in Wonderland rather than your "precious" Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Maybe your brain cannot wrap itself around my praise because it's already occupied wrapping itself around those circles in which you're busy talking. You're question still makes no sense, and has no relevance, and I stand by my parallel question. You know my feelings on those films, and all you're trying to do is frame the argument in such a way that I cannot have a fair chance at being taken seriously: If I say Snow is better than Rings, you blast me for taking down such a highly praised cinematic achievement, and invoke popular opinion to bury me as a contrarian, yet if I concede that Rings is better than Snow, you take the comment out of context and say that I admit it is a generally inferior film.

Well, I won't give in. We can discuss that trilogy of yours on here in its own week, if you like, but I think you owe it to our legions of fans to actually make a legitimate point on Snow White at some point.
