snow white and the huntsman

...and the winner for all-time worst speech, ever (2012), goes to...kristen steward, for the all-time worst speech, ever, that she gave in SWATH.  this film also garnered a number of other awards, such as worst momentous statement (the blind dwarf,) worst use of charlize theron's talents (lucy bevan,) and most striking inability to count to seven (the writers.)  i am pretty sure that the dwarf they killed off was because they were sitting there filming when the director turned to his pet screenwriter and said,

DIRECTOR: "excuse me, you."
SCREENWRITER: "yes, director?"
DIRECTOR: "do you see anything wrong with this scene?"
SCREENWRITER: (not seeing anything, but knowing that the director would not ask if there were nothing to see--probably.) "n-n-no, director?"
DIRECTOR: "well, how many dwarfs would you say there were in 'snow white and the seven dwarfs?'"
SCREENWRITER: "s-s-seven?  director, sir?"
DIRECTOR: "s-s-seven?  or seven?"
SCREENWRITER: (gulps) "se-se-" (pauses) "seven, director."
DIRECTOR: "indeed." (turning away.) "how many dwarfs do you see in this scene?"
SCREENWRITER: (counting) "eight?"
DIRECTOR: "eight WHAT?"
SCREENWRITER: "eight, director!  sir!"
DIRECTOR: (nods, chuckling) "yes indeed.  kill one of them for me, would you?"

and this is how you get seven dwarfs and a movie called snow white and the huntsman.

  1. Hmm... so math wasn't their strong suit when originally casting the dwarves and they probably thought the extra was to be an alternate and wasn't actually supposed to appear in the scene. I blame the dwarf. (Angela)

  2. Have to agree on the speech. Fell on the floor laughing at how terrible it was. Kristen Stewart and that speech really ruined the whole movie.
