Yes, nice hair. Also looks pretty emaciated for a pregnant woman.

Yeah, well, equality was the issue. Which is one thing I find understandable, on an instinctive level, not a rational one. As far as I can judge from following the issue superficially there are no studies that would support the notion that homosexual couples were in some way less capable of raising children. Though, even if there was any evidence of that, the same scrutiny isn't applied to other people. For Germany, the numbers clearly say that children of parents with a higher education are much more likely to attain a higher education themselves. Yet I've seen no one arguing that only intell

Legalization of gay marriages without much controversy is pretty much standard in Western Europe. With the possible exception of France, which was very surprising to me.

in HP, she was a magical schoolgirl. Since then, she has only played characters that are either schoolgirls or magical. So yeah, I think Hollywood has nothing to fear right now.

Emma always looks like herself, even on ultra staged/ retouched photos.

I don't feel adressed here as I don't hunt for pictures, but I know people who do that and could be insulted by this. BTW I never put people on ignore, no matter how little sense their posts make.

No I didn't, and why should I? It's not like anything is to be gained objectively from this discussion. What I did was paraphrasing a position I find nonsensical. I could have left out the quotation marks and that wouldn't have changed anything. You've got to live with the fact that people will find it ridiculous if you argue strongly for a paradoxical position. BTW, don't bother trying to answer that question now. I take it you don't have an answer to it.

I never misquoted you. If I want to quote you, I use the quote function.

For all purposes, I just did this in my last post. Again. It doesn't seem like you want to answer those questions.

I was asking about specifics. IOW, what information about Emma do you appreciate, and what other info should be totally off limits (and why).

No, you were keeping your posts deliberately vague. Otherwise I think you'd have trouble explaining where your duty as an actor ends and your private life begins. Do me that favor. I don't think any admin is fond of your posting style.

I have no respect for your post, but I think it's unnecessary to comment on it.

Fans are arbitrary/ irrational by nature, no need to be surprised. "I think she's an amazing person but I don't want any personal info about her!"

No, because if you had described in detail what you mean by separating the personal from the professional life you would have realized how problematic that is.

pulling numbers out of your butt is counterproductive to discussion but if you're really serious that people don't want any information about their favourite movie stars I fear I won't be able to change your mind

Yes. Just like the interaction with fans is. It should be obvious where the problem with "I want to have my face on movie screens across the globe but I don't want people to be interested in what's behind that face" lies. But then I'm saying this for about the 100th time, so maybe it isn't. What Emma means but doesn't verbally say is "I don't want any uncontrolled intrusion into my privacy". Which is ok Emma, no one likes that, whether they're in the movie business or not. Maybe at some point in the future she'll realize that there's a way to hold onto your basic dignity without aliena

well that's uhm... ridiculous. She said before that she has accepted the fact that public recognition comes with her work. That's right. If she was entirely honest, it would seem she has made a really bad carreer choice. It's like saying I love being a CEO but I actually hate responsibility. Luckily, I don't think she's entirely truthful. No one who values anonimity above all else would have attended an event like the launch of HP8 on Trafalgar Square. This is not to say that I don't feel badly for her. If it's really stressful for her to be in the public eye, I am sorry. But I also thin

tehe - c'est bon? - ô.Ô O.O

I doubt that Hermione, Ila and the Tearling character are vastly different. There are only so many variations on the "young woman with mystical powers" theme.

She seems to have changed her mind, yes, although not overnight. I thought she doesn't want to be typecast in general, but it seems she has no problems being a household name in the fantasy genre, if not in period drama. Maybe she likes playing empowered witches more than subdued housewifes in corsets with suppressed yearnings. ô.ô

She has them all lined up now though. Also I'm wondering, again, why someone would think that people would simply forget about HP (and that her roots are therefore in the fantasy genre) just because she's also done Bling Ring. That seems highly unlikely.

And why would we not count the HP movies when we're trying to establish what genre she has the most affinity towards? That doesn't make sense; just like not counting the movies she has in the pipeline but haven't been produced yet. They're gonna happen, and if not it still shows Emma's predisposition in selecting these roles. AFAIK it's based on a graphic novel that's clearly in the fantasy genre (fighter/mage/priest?) Arguably, HP will loom taller than those four. Which is probably the reason why she's stayed in this genre. I wasn't talking about her abilities to act outside of th

I have to correct the above number of non-fantasy movies to 4. Forgot Ballet Shoes (never seen that one). But I also counted Tearling as only 1 movie, so...

Pardon? Movies in the fantasy genre (counting Noah, B&B, and Tearling): 11 Other genres (not counting cameos): 3 If she got into it willingly doesn't change the result much, I think. It's certainly not coincidence that she is still most widely known for her work in this genre; her way was partly pre-determined, and she probably did not foresee all that back when HP started.

Oh plz. When I was 20 I was very... idealistic, to put it mildly. In fact I can't quite comprehend all the crap I used to believe in/ dwell on. It's almost as if a veil has been lifted from my mind. Youth is the age of energy. It's not the age of reason (isn't that the source of all poetry?). Though I wouldn't even say I've become much more reasonable; I've simply become calmer. Which is an advantage to me in a lot of situations. Among other things, now I can take every day as it comes. Enjoy myself for an hour, no matter what else is coming up or welling up inside my head. The funny thi
