  1. I am excited that she is doing another film but this specific one does not interest me at all. Still super excited and happy for her though, no complaints!

    Me, I'm looking forward to Emma's performance as someone who's generally unstable and clueless (and not in a comical way like Nicki). I'm not looking forward to the story itself, biographies of celebs and pseudo celebs are always probably ripe with embellishment.
  2. ''So, Watson will always be, for me, a nice middle-class English girl pretending to be another nice middle-class English girl who’s lucky enough to have magical powers for which she’s extremely grateful.''

    Where's the problem? Can't you accept that other people aren't fans?

     

    The one thing where you can agree or disagree is if Emma had proven by that point in time that she deserves all the press she gets (and boy, she does get press. Woman of the Year). Personally, I can totally understand if people question her status when they're not fans.

    There are no q&a's just quotes, I don't even trust it, he could have twisted everything;

    Yeah, it was an opinion piece. Not very informative, but you have different styles of interviews.

     

    You and Jonny should consider leaving the forum because you are anything BUT fans, I think you belong to Pottershots.

    It's the other way round. Being here proves I'm a fan because it takes me real lifetime to write something :) Also I'm making it a point to watch every single movie she's in (not counting cameos). So yeah, I'm a fan.
  3. Those adjectives do not describe the tone of the article at all. Try patronizing, condescending, dismissive, sarcastic.

     

    Reading the interview again, I think he was just bitter about having to spend so much time with his children watching Harry Potter and less time admiring himself.

    Sarcasm is mostly a question of style I'd say. Patronizing, yes, maybe. Although he called himself a cranky old man in that article, so everything after that should be taken a grain of salt. ;)

     

    Emma herself attributed most of her success to chance in that interview (if he quoted her correctly). It's a case of "see, I'm putting myself down all the time so please don't do it too, and maybe say something nice about me". He just didn't. That seems to prove his point that Emma is "looking for nurture". Arguably, that's not a particularly clever insight, as I think you can easily get this impression of Emma with her polite manner accentuated by her small frame and young face. But it seems to be true. If he just wanted to be a dick he could have taken some potshots i.e. at her lemons and lemonade line (I thought he did, but looking up trenchancy it just seems to mean forcefulness ;) ). He just went overboard with implying how unimpressed he was with her; implying that she has to prove she's worth the hype. And that's probably the case.

  4. Someone pens an interview that doesn't simply shower praise on Emma and people get their pants in a knot? O rite, internets.

     

    The troubling thing is that Emma herself feels she was unjustly portrayed in that article. I mean yeah, it's not nice to read in a papar about how you left someone thoroughly unimpressed when you met them in person, but hey, common people don't even get the chance to read something like that about themselves ;)

  5. You have the same 'problem' in German, and I remember being taken out of it when Harry used the casual "you" when talking to a tacher (not Hagrid). Didn't seem to fit at all the atmosphere of HP where teachers are mostly feared/ respected.

  6. Oh, there's a first part. Missed that.

     

    "The outfit is really important to me. It helped me to assume my role. I had to abandon all my styling rules. Nicki shows a lot of cleavage, wears short skirts and skin tight clothes. She likes anything hot and sexy."

     

    "And then there's another, lovable side to her. At home she acts like the perfect daughter, a proper and religious girl. She has two different faces to her."

  7. And twitter: not a real subistitute. Some "favouricing" of fans messages, that's it. And in nearly two years 2-3 direct replies to fans. 9 Millions running behind a mostly silent celebrity...... Interesting in a psychological way.

    I think that's the draw though. You can loosely keep track of what people are up to that you're not really into. The entertainment market is so saturated with all these mostly exchangeable stars and starlets that having them all on twitter where you can get the gist of what they're up to is simply comfortable.

     

    I agree with Dax that the next generation has grown up with services like tumblr and Facebook but I thought that movies like Perks and Bling Ring would cause a number of people to be more emotionally invested in Emma. In that regard (when you seriously want to discuss things) forums are still popular. It didn't work out like that though.

  8. Last year, I expected that after the release of Perks and Bling Ring there would be a surge in forum activity, new members etc., but it seems Twitter is the go-to medium for people you're just modestly interested in.
