Would also explain why I find some actresses attractive until they open their mouths and prove that they're stupid/bland/annoying/terrible at their profession. Case in point: Kristen Stewart. Thought she looked pretty until I realized that she had no expression beyond a vacant stare. Damn shame too, cause I was thinking Snow White and the Huntsman would be pretty neat if not for her being the title character.
