It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Movies to Watch: Jack The Giant Killer

The fables continue in Hollywood, and with it, a beanstalk.  They didn't want it titled, "Jack and The Beanstalk" so they went with "Jack The Giant Killer" instead, because that sounds so much better. Okay, okay, I know it's based off the book of the same name, and pretty much a remake of the 1962 movie.  But as a kid we knew it as "Jack and The Beanstalk".

And as far as fable movies go, you may have heard there are 2 different versions of "Snow White" being released in 2012, as if there weren't already plenty of them to begin with.  But to each their own.

Watch the trailer below, and tell me what you think?  Is it worth the $9 or $11 ticket price? Would you go and see it?  For starters it doesn't consist of damn vampires, and it stars cutie, Nicholas Hoult as Jack.

Synopsis:
"Jack the Giant Killer" tells the story of an ancient war that is reignited when a young farmhand unwittinglyopens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants. Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack, into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom, its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend--and gets the chance to become a legend himself.
