  1. The English (British?) press was all over Casual Vacancy with glowing reviews, so I'm skeptical, but of course that was published under JKR. I don't really read crime novels so basically I'm just curious about how far a cry it is from her other books.

  2. Not having seen the movie, I guess the characters are supposed to be templates. They're not supposed to be fully fleshed-out individuals. Hearing the story behind the Bling Ring may leave some wanting for a full psychological profiling of its members, but that's a different movie. And in the end, even a deeper inspection of their motives might just reveal what the movie is hinting at: this is not at all surprising behavior for spoiled first world teens with too much time on their hands.

     

    I'm really looking forward to seeing this movie. It seems it doesn't preach and doesn't overanalyze.

  3. Today I wore leggings, an old t-shirt and piled my unwashed hair in a bun on my head.

     

    Yesterday I flat ironed my hair nicely, put on a nice summer dress and went on a tour of an English country house.

     

    In the past, I've been very glammed up... I've done video shoots, photos, gone to weddings, parties...

     

    And rest assured, my personality did not change. My motives, aspirations and values did not change. All that changed was what I wore on my body and how I did my hair. Of course, I was a lot quieter with only a few people around today. But yesterday, I was really quite animated, answering questions about my life because people are curious. 

     

    I was still me, though. Just like Emma is Emma, and some days she throws on whatever is closest and is a bit more reserved, and other days she has a bit more effort put in and feels like being rather animated. 

     

    Honestly, the way you guys talk as if this is some kind of phenomenon makes me wonder if you know any women at all.  :rolleye0012:

    How many magazine covers have you graced?

     

    I may only have a rough overview of Emma's private style (I don't specifically hunt for pictures - but I do browse related sites every now and then), but as I said, the contrast seems stark.

    I don't want to think of Emma simply enjoying playing dress-up - she's too reflected a person for that. Like I said, I suspect she still thinks of it as part of the job, not knowing how to deal with these things differently. She's already half-heartedly disassociated herself from the whole fashion affair, which shows IMO that her heart is no longer in that.

    I kinda miss that Emma who was always pushing frontiers for herself and was always ready to take her mouth full. Someone with an agenda.

  4. It is sad that when I see the 2 screen names around here have responded to a post that I already know for a fact that they have put down Emma in some way, critiqued Emma in some way or is being negative about Emma.

    For all her acting I've only had balanced to favorable comments. Selective reading FTW
  5. I do see the diference but we all dress diff. we all have a diff in how we dress when at home or for work, so what?

    I think it's a matter of degrees. People trying to be stylish in private will simply seem glammed up in a photoshoot. But if you dress down short of walking around in your pajama pants, and then do shootings, it's like assuming another personality. It begs the question why one does that. She's not the property of Warner Bros. anymore, she could choose not to pose for a magazine. Does she feel like it just comes with the job even if she doesn't care about it? That would be sad, because I see her as an artist, not just a professional who tries to have all boxes ticked.
  6. Are you talking style as in clothing, hair, makeup for the shoot? You don't think she is the one that chooses that do you? That's not how it works.

    I was talking mostly about the difference between "show Emma" and "real Emma", styling-wise.

     

    Or are you talking her interview style, the way she behaves during the interview? Like cbmac said, Emma is quite animated in many interviews.  But not all. It depends on the interview. The more she seems to enjoy an interview, the more expressive she is. She "talks" a lot with her hands. I think she had fun with this interview, you can hear people laughing in the background, so, lots of hand talking. That's not acting.

    It's clear that you're sometimes more animated and sometimes not. But if you look at basically all the interviews she's done over... the last two years?, Emma seems less and less inclined to put herself out there. It seems she's trying not to raise any issues. All the things she said in this one we already knew. This, together with her body language, just signifies that she's feeling less at ease in public than she used to during HP. And I think that has to do with her being unsure of what role she wants to play and others want her to play.

    how she styles herself when she isn't working isn't relevant

    Really? You don't see a difference between someone dressing up for a photo shoot and someone assuming a role? Because that's what it seems like.
  7. I just think we ALL need to ignore the critics on here yall...I truly do not enjoy coming here when certain people come here and ruin the subject/topic discussion which is happening more and more lately.

    I truly do not enjoy people jumping like angry girl scouts at the throats of those who want to discuss what Emma is doing rather than cheerleading.

    I love how animated Emma is and has always been since her first interviews. She cracks me up so much!! :)

    Are you really not noticing a difference between Emma here and in her HP days? I might be imagining things but there are certain things signifying that Emma is less at ease with her role nowadays, or maybe a bit confused over what that role may be. The changes in style she undergoes for shoots is really dramatic and I don't think Emma has decided on her "true" identity yet. The "imposter syndrome" comment comes to mind; and that's really not far off when you simply assume a persona that you think you must assume for your job but are really ambiguous about. It's not entirely honest.
  8. Wah, the things I write when I'm tired

     

     

    As for Dan, I think he should stay in the theatre business. They seem to like him there and I don't have to see him so we're fine.

  9. I am confident in his ability to deliver what I'm looking for. That's why I'm interested rather than skeptic.

     

    One thing that makes me hopeful is Emma's comment that Beast will be really 'scary', which I take to mean among other things that it won't be a ruggedly handsome man-wolf with over-accentuated sideburns and the slipping self-restraint of a hormone-fuelled teenager.

     

    Also as an aside it's interesting he mentions the darker connotations of HP, I also feel that this was missing from the movies as I mentioned in another topic.

     

    Btw, his pronounciation has come a long way. Good on his actors trying to please him.

  10. I'm sure it'll be nice to look at and everything, but what I'm interested in is its undertones. You can't get away doing a fable like B&B without substituting your own philosophical take on the issues it raises.

     

    I can just barely remember my mom used to read me the story of B&B for the first time from a magazine that appeared like monthly, that had fables and stories for children in it. I think Beast was basically just a human with a lion's head, but still the story got to me.
