We're all beating a dead horse here, so I'll just refrain from commenting any further. Unless, well, it happens again. By "it" I mean announcements like "Emma is going to produce some hand-made knitwear for y'all" followed by "just kidding gize. U mad? :trollface:". Which I think isn't entirely impossible.
Nobody said Emma was going to do anything.
I really don't understand how people are failing to see this? Emma didn't know anything about me asking for suggestions.
-
Exactly. We're in a unique position where we have someone taking time out of their life to try to let Emma know what we want from her. And whether we get what we want or not, we should still appreciate that Jo takes the time, and puts in the effort.
-
Agree again. But WHY was it promised that she will aswer questions?
NOTHING was PROMISED, what part of that don't you understand?
And she DID answer some questions, it may not have been the several hundred that you were expecting, but she still answered some.
we are expected to buy her movies, vote for her at awards, buy things she is advertising for..... but hell comes over us, if we EVER want a little bit of something back.
Emma does not ask you to buy her films or vote for her, that is YOUR CHOICE, she is hardly holding you at gunpoint.
You really have some warped ideas about what a fan "deserves".
-
Seriously, WHY has a topic about her height turned into MORE bashing of her PR? Can ANY topic on here run WITHOUT it turning into a "How Crap something to do with Emma is".
I'm starting to get really angry with all of this crap.
Emma is a bit taller than she looks in pictures, i'm 5'1, I would say she was about 5'5.
-
No, the picture was given to him in 2007 (that's the date of the posting). I never knew EWE so I cannot judge it.
The fact it was given in 2007 makes no difference to the points I made.

Here is another serious question, maybe only for dook and Jo.
I found this picture on a old, abandoned website about Emma. It is said, that this picture was posted by Thomas Sailer (dook wrote about him several weeks ago) and that it shows Emma as a baby in Paris. Any idea, if this is true? The text said, that he got it as a "thank you" from a person very near to Emma.
OK, now i haven't seen baby pictures of Emma, so I couldn't comment in that respect... but this I doubt very much.
First of all WHO gives a baby picture of someone who is now 22 as a "present"? that is too random.
Secondly, any person who is close to Emma would not just give out her baby pictures to any old stranger - anyone "close" to Emma would respect her privacy.
Also, just to mention I was never a fan of EWE...they were far to casual about posting private pics and not respecting her privacy.
-
Jo, I'm dying to know if Emma would ever show us her artwork, me being a little artist myself(I paint in photoshop), maybe one piece that she's most proud of?
I doubt it, but you never know
-
Yeah, that was Maestro, but since I've been mentioned a number of times in the topic I'm going to add my 2 bits.
This topic was created for making suggestions for Emma's official site. Nowhere else will you find a place to voice your ideas and know they are read by someone who has a connection to Emma, and get a response. It's turned into a 'let me constantly criticize Emma and the people that work with her' topic.
There are complaints that the suggestions never lead to anything, or things begun are not followed through. Neither Jo nor Emma ever promised anything. Emma owes you nothing. As Jo, and ling, have said, some things can't be done. Some things are not practical. Some things begun don't work out. It was suggested Emma hire me to run her site. It might be a different site, but it would not be any 'better', as I would still have the same limitations, and to suggest that it would, only shows a lack of understanding the reality of running an official site.
Emma owes you nothing. You bought a movie ticket and in return you were able to watch a movie. That's all you get. Emma fulfilled her obligations by acting and promoting the movie. Your ticket doesn't entitle you to any of her personal time. It doesn't get you a half-yearly chat. It doesn't get you x number of questions answered on facebook. If you don't appreciate what Emma does on her site/facebook/twitter then that's your loss.
So, enough with all the non-constructive criticism, insults and personal attacks. Most here don't believe Emma is perfect, I don't think Emma is perfect. It is ok to have negative opinions, or to be critical of how some things are done, but constantly criticizing every aspect of her life won't be tolerated. And before anyone mentions 'free speech', this is a privately run forum. Posting here is a privilege, not a right.
I Love You.
Question: If you could do theater, what would be your dream theater role?
Noted
To try and return this topic to it's original purpose, I've noticed that in the Harry Potter filmography section, for each film's pictures, it seems there's some mix ups. For example in the PS/SS section, there are two pics from the film, but the other is from Chamber of Secrets. And in Chamber of secrets, it has pictures from Prisoner of Azkaban, etc. At least this is how it appears for me. Does this happen for you or is it just me?
Your quite correct
I'll have to see if we have a picture that we are allowed to use from The Philosophers Stone and swap them all around, thanks for noticing - I will rectify as soon as I am able.
-
So in the end you confirm it: she doesn't want to spent a few hours a year for her fans.
You can and will always twist whatever I say round to make it sound like what you want to hear.
So that's all you managed to pick out from all of my answers then? It seems I must have made some very valid points then.
-
And evidence to the contrary? (exept point 5, this is really her private business....)
Well since you asked...
1) Emma's PR are rubbish
The very fact that you are registered to a forum dedicated to Emma, the fact that you make lovey dovey music videos of her, the fact that you are always checking for the latest news on her means that her PR can't actually be doing such a bad job after all.
2) Emma's website is rubbish
Emma's Website is actually a lot more informative than most official websites for actors (e.g: Jennifer Lawrence). We have reached a point where we are not sure what the next step will be. It may just become a hub of static information, but who knows.
3) Emma's Facebook is rubbish
Emma's Facebook is updated regularly, even when she hasn't been in the public eye for months. Obviously you are not satisfied with it, but your never satisfied with anything...so nothing new there.
4) Emma doesn't Tweet enough, which is rubbish
The fact that Emma has Twitter and uses it; is a lot more than what her peers are doing right now. Like i say, check out Kristen Stewart, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone for example... no interaction there.
5) Emma's boyfriend is rubbish
He clearly makes Emma very happy, what more can you ask than that?
6) Emma clearly doesn't think anything of her fans.
She thanks fans when she is nominated for awards, when she wins awards....what more do you want?
Don't answer that, I suspect you think she should pay a visit to your house and thank you personally.
You try and make Emma sound like she is this really hard uncaring person, I have no idea what the hell gave you this idea... oh because she only had time to anwswer 8 questions? Oh no, what a horrible woman she must be.
Unlike you, Emma does not get much free time at all, and when she does she understandably wants to see as much of her family and friends as possible and use the time to step away from work and relax, sitting down for hours in a meeting and discussing her website is not the top of her priorities...because she has a life.
-
I dont understand how this thread went from asking Emma questions to some being belligerent about her not having time to answer questions.
Well, as you probably noticed - every thread on this forum turns into an argument because apparently:
1) Emma's PR are rubbish
2) Emma's website is rubbish
3) Emma's Facebook is rubbish
4) Emma doesn't Tweet enough, which is rubbish
5) Emma's boyfriend is rubbish
6) Emma clearly doesn't think anything of her fans.
I mean honestly, who needs enemies when you have fans like this that tear away at you and scutinise every move you make and every choice you make.
We never heard what is possible and what is not possible. Everything is hidden behind the mysterious curtain of "privacy" and "secrecy".
If I were to tell you the things that were discussed as possibilities, you would be demanding they happened right now. And if for some reason it didn't ever materialise, you would be the first person queuing up to complain about how badly the fans have been treated yada yada yada...
So you will say that 99,8 % of the made suggestions and questions are considered "private"? For me the whole "privacy"-thing it is just a simple excuse to do NOTHING (and I do not mean her private life!).
Not all of the suggested things were "too private". Some just wouldn't work, some Cannot work because of copyright issues and some were discussed as possibilities.
The privacy thing is just that, a contract is signed between client and customer - it's PRIVATE.

"Emma Watson Our Inspiration" is a worldwide trending topic on Twitter!
very good. :thumbup:
-
My question was, if there is a protocol for stars like Emma regarding the attendance of boyfriends (not married spouses) at events like the PCA or even OSCAR. That was my question. If it comes to me he can sit also the whole time at home with his buddies......
I've already explained this to you a few times now, but hell, here goes a third time...
At Awards Ceremonies you are Usually allocated seats and you USUALLY have to sit with fellow cast and crew members.
With me so far?
Premieres you are usually allocated a certain amount of tickets and can sit with who you like.
Got it?
As some people have mentioned, he has been with her to events, just because you don't see him in pictures, it does not mean he isn't there.
-
My point was entirely that it's better not to promise things that never happen. It's no slight against Emma.
But nothing WAS promised?
When did we ever say "We promise to do this this and this for the website"?
Thank you Mr Pumpkinhead, I shall add your questions to my sheet
-
Sorry to see it from the perspective of a small, under-paid captain. But when MY wife got her university degree or as she was presented with her ​​private pilot's license, it was natural for me to be there and attend the ceremony. Own life or not. This is called "partnership". You give up a part of one's life for a partner.
Oh wow, this is a whole new level.
Don't even try and go there about how he isn't there for her, you have NO idea about their relationship, NO idea about him and NO idea of their situation.
I've seen from past threads that you do not like him, and all this by judging him for walking next to Emma walking down a street in a few pictures.
And you wonder why she wants to keep her private life to herself.
-
*sarcasm on* I hope, you will send her some flowers, Arie.... *sarcasm off*
How mature.
I'm sorry you feel I'm doing such a bad job, if you knew the ins and outs perhaps you would be more understanding... Then again...
-
Please correct me, if I am wrong, but there were 7 or 8 questions, Emma answered in the beginning (on her hp and on Facebook). Then this answers stoppend and you changed to pictures of Emma with quotes from her. And, excuse me, some of this quotes I read also on the main page of Emma-Watson.net. So I am wrong, when I say, Emma answered eight questions to you, and then this stopped because of the movies?
We are talking about Emma's Q&A here, I know the random quotes on FB are old - this is not part of the Q&A.
The Q&A questions were al asked by me and anwsered by Emma.
Seriously now, are you working on a voluntary basis or smth? Or is that cunfidenshul again?
Confidential of course ;-)
WOW... just WOW
Let me say first... I don't read Emma's twitter and I have never signed up for Twitter and don't know if you need an account to read it or not. I have also never visited Emma's Official Site. I'm a casual fan at best. Therefore, I don't know what suggestions may or may not have been made or what questions Emma may or may not have answered from people in this post.
With that said, ANYTHING she (Emma) or the management of her offical site might respond to via Jo here is a priviledge NOT a right. I think we should be grateful for someone who is willing to reach out to this community for suggestions/questions. If none of those suggestions are taken, then that is by rights.. their choice.
I think that of the many fans here who do follow Emma closely that a few could be a bit more grateful for anyone who might function in the capacity Jo does.
Thank you, i'm glad somebody can see what I was trying to do.
-
Ok, I put it another way. If a celebrity-actress says: "I want to bring my boyfriend along to that event and I want that he sits beside me!" - will there be somebody who says: "Ok, no problem!" or will there be somebody who says: "Sorry, you must be married that he can sit besides you! This is the common protocol."
AS far as premiere's go, she can sit next to her bf if she chooses.
Like I say awards ceremonies are a bit different, you quite often have to sit with your fellow cast/crew or are given a specific place to sit (e.g) BAFTA have somebody to create a seating plan.
-
Thank you Jo. But my question was, is there a protocol about "attendance of a boy/girlfriend" or depends it more on the "temper" of the celebrity.
I don't know so much about award ceremonies, but for premiere's of films that Emma stars in; she will get an allocation of tickets and then invite whoever she wants.
-
As far as I remember there were a lot of suggestions in this thread for her page. They were all refused?
Nope, not all were refused. A lot of the ideas were very good, and taken into consideration. Some things sound perfect on paper (or on a forum in this case) but in reality just wouldn't work. Some ideas are still noted, but this whole situation may be out of all of our control now. (I can't explain that without going into confidential details).
I mean, let alone "Ask Emma" would be a evening-filling event...... But real answers to questions, not old quotes!
They were NOT old quotes, I sat down with Emma myself and asked her the questions! So i guess I would know. she anwsered them and they were posted on the website.
I know the Q&A fizzled out and I apologise for that, one thing happened after another Noah, Perks Promo, Noah again - Christmas ... I'm still in hope that this can one day be ressurected. But obviously i'm not going to promise that - I would be shot dead on the spot.
On the other hand though, if you just think we are posting old quotes from the internet for the Q&A, then this whole thing is pointless. I took a lot of time collating those questions...so to say I just took the anwsers off of the internet is a bit of an insult to be honest.
Just me making assumptions again
yes, I'm afraid so
-
What kind of relationship. She sits second row legroom, and he at one of the cheap seats. And no photographer has ever photographed the two together at such an event. Probably play hide and seek the whole time. And I do not mean to see them on the red carpet together.
When at awards ceremonies, you are usually told where you will be sitting - and more often than not, you sit with your fellow cast/crew members.
Premiere's are different, you are usually allocated a section for family & friends... but you never see pictures INSIDE the screening of a premiere, so I guess you wouldn't know.
-
My point was that Emma plays some part in what happens (or doesn't) on the site, as it seems.
Yes, she does.
Plz don't try to cast us (me) as ungrateful brats.
I never said You were.
My point is that it's not advantageous to advertise interaction that never happens on the site. It makes Emma looks like a tease.
If your reffering to this thread, then Emma knows nothing about it. This is me trying to be innovitive. I didn't ever say, please give me ideas and I will make them all happen. I am merely asking for suggestions so that i can put them to Emma and her team.
Therefore, my advice is to change the site's layout to a simple business cardThis may happen.
I know you're the wrong recipient for this, seeing as you make money off Emma's site
, but that's my stance.Who says i make money?
-
Agree, beeing Emma's bf is all about ego...... But well, why not? I mean, in a good relationship you must be able to do that. As long as it possible for both to "rate" people.... But this answers not my question, why he does not attend such events now, after one year,
How do you know he doesn't? just because they don't pose together on the red carpet - it doesn't mean he doesn't go.
-
3) Emma Stone does it right - she offers nothing, so nobody can expect something. Better do nothing, then do it half-hearted or amateurful.
Ah yes, i'm sure if Emma Watson did 'nothing' you would be absolutely fine with that.....
This, from that man that wants everything from her.
Suggestions, Questions for Emma's Official site
in Emma General Chat
Posted
There was no "Announcement"
I Merely asked for suggestions.
If I had said "Emma will definately anwser your questions, and she will anwser at least 50"
Then I would understand all of this whinging.
What I don't understand is people throwing their toys out of the pram for something that was NEVER promised, and some questions WERE answered anyway.
Oh and Dook, please feel free to close this thread.
If it does ever happen where the possibility of questions to Emma comes up again, I will simply PM the members that UNDERSTAND this whole process and ask for their suggestions.
It will save this whole ridiculous scenario coming up again.
