Every once in a while I see girls like that and think to myself.

"Why am I not going out and attempting to get laid right at this moment?"

Most the time ... yes.

I'll be damned...

Well, no, because the point of that saying (there isn't x, is there?) is that you are making an observation, and then rhetorically questioning it. "Is there not" carries the connotation that you think there is, and thus contradicts the first part of the sentence (there isn't x).

I know, that might just be the best damned GIF on the internet.

It's from her new upcoming movie called "The Bling Ring".

It didn't carry that connotation, because that's not what he was implying. It was pretty obvious what it meant. "There's no beating around the bush with you, is there not?" is perfectly grammatically acceptable. On my account.

I thought that was Emma Watson, but I wasn't sure. I've never seen her like this. I don't know what to think.

I know the point came across either way, but I believe the phrase ends "...is there," not "isn't there." Think about it; it doesn't really make sense the latter way. He's already said: "There's no beating around the bush with you." Adding "Is not there" is like saying: "There's no beating around the bush with you; there is beating around the bush with you, right?" It undermines the message he's trying to get across.

look at these stupid bitches arguing about grammar on an internet forum....
