    OK, so I saw "Beastly" last night. I had read such terrible reviews that I entered the cinema with super low expectations. And I have to say that most of the movie lived up to them: the plotline is based on the Beauty and the Beast, fair enough, but they could have made the screenplay just a little bit more believable. The acting was not the most amazing I've seen and I often found myself cringing a little bit at some of the lines and the way they were delivered. However, if you take the movie for what it is, ie silly entertainment and a love story for teenagers, you'll leave the cinema smiling :)

    MK was so-so, I'd say. The scene where she wears the black, short-haired wig was downright embarrassing, her acting was crap and I was bewildered that a girl who's been acting her own life and who had done such a good job on Weeds and The Wackness (Factory Girl was more of a cameo) couldn't do better. But she was OK during the rest of the movie. Not her best contribution to cinema, that's for sure, but not worse than, say, So Little Time lol. I guess she did what she could with the phoney lines.

    One thing that struck me though is how they got inspired by MK's own style for the witch's costumes. The long, dishevelled hair, the platform shoes, the baggy black clothes...

    OK, I won't translate the article. First of all, it's not really an interview: it's an article about Emma, her career, her job as Hermione through the years, what she's been up to lately (Brown, MWWM, PoBaW), her work with Burberry, Lancôme and People Tree... Stuff that we know by heart. There are very few quotes, and we've already read them (for instance, Steve Kloves saying he would have left the franchise if Emma had or Emma saying she wants to live like a Renaissance woman).

    All in all, it's a nice article praising Emma, comparing her to Natalie Portman and wishing her a long and successful career... but nothing new for us die-hard fans :P

    Well, I think they don't really expect to make a lot of money from that movie :P

    With respect to US movies in Europe, I guess blockbusters are released worldwide at the same time, to avoid pirated copies being available on the Internet way before the release, but I suppose it's different for indie movies (even amazing ones, such as "Blue Valentine", for instance) or "bad" movies that will just be used to fill the summer void.

    Then again, you get European movies months after they've been released too, don't you?

    Anyway, I read several reviews about "Beastly" and it seems to really suck. Not that it's going to prevent me from going to see MK's latest movie...

    :rolleyes:

    These kinds of leggings seem to be her fave travel outfit....good to see her in something rather normal.

    Leggings are really comfy during air travel, they don't constrain you if you need to curl up in your seat and they don't prevent your blood from going around the way it's supposed to do. Sorry for the randomness of this off-topic post, but I think Emma tends to aim for comfort when travelling.

    That Explains Why....

    Well, I wouldn't discount it, with all the perverts in the world. There's some creepy guys/girls at my college.

     

    But that being said, Emma wouldn't start sexting pictures of herself to people, so I doubt anybody would get ahold of something like that. She's too classy to do something like that.

    And she was in the audience when Reese Witherspoon reminded all starlets wannabe to hide their faces if they took naked pics of themselves (got that, Blake?) :P

    Alex looked amazing. Mary-Kate was looking very freaky-ish. :P As for the movie itself, it was alike in many ways. It didn't make me aww or squee like the other girls in the screen though.

    It's coming out next Wednesday in France, I'm looking forward to seeing it, even though it looks like your typical teen movie.

     

    I think I'm going to buy "Influence", the coffeetable book they released in 2008. I didn't buy it when it came out, because I felt it was way too pricey for what it was, but prices have really gone down now... And I'm quite curious and eager to read it, the reviews were quite good.
