The point is she hasn't been in anything that would support a positive assessment of her ability Cannoli Send a noteboard - 01/07/2017 02:56:26 PM

Beauty & the Beast should only further degrade such assessments. The draw was not Emma Watson, it was a very popular, highly acclaimed cartoon. Just as the Potter series of films had a built-in book audience. Emma Watson's job, like all leading actors, is to entice people to watch the films, and she can barely get cast, and has never been successful at that job. She is known for nine films, all of which were adaptations of enormously successful works with international fame & sales.

I don't know much about her acting either, having only seen her as a child (I missed the last 5 HP films), seen her giving a speech which was awful in its delivery, especially for a professional enterainer, who has been doing this over half her life, and utterly blowing a slam-dunk role in B&tB. The children who played Mowgli & Aurora gave much better performances in similar roles, and the latter's departed considerably from all source material, so she didn't have as a guide, a cartoon most people have seen many times. Watson's role was the least original, with the strongest inclination to acceptance, and she did it the worst of the young stars of the live-action Disney remakes.

What the hell is with people's fondness for Slytherin? - 26/06/2017 09:48:07 AM 1105 Views
I got placed into Slytherin at Pottermore back in the day. - 26/06/2017 01:30:13 PM 766 Views

Your replies do show a large streak of Slytherinesque views. I think you were mishoused. - 26/06/2017 06:06:09 PM 753 Views
Nah. I have vague glimmerings of a conscience. Disqualifying trait for House Sociopath. *NM* - 26/06/2017 06:08:44 PM 408 Views
Ah I see. You're in denial. In the closet as it were. - 26/06/2017 06:27:37 PM 561 Views
Yet you're studying for the bar so you can join Profession Sociopath. - 26/06/2017 07:56:47 PM 703 Views

I'm going into public defense. Don't be too proud of yourself. - 28/06/2017 08:31:04 PM 705 Views
Just a self-righteous and masochistic form of sociopath. *NM* - 28/06/2017 10:05:18 PM 474 Views
But intensely charitable in its sociopathy! - 28/06/2017 10:54:14 PM 580 Views
I re-watched the eight HP movies a while back. - 26/06/2017 07:38:39 PM 757 Views
You think "Eyebrows" Watson improved the films? Yeesh. *NM* - 27/06/2017 01:59:55 AM 595 Views
What do her eyebrows have to do with anything? And yes, I do. *NM* - 27/06/2017 06:13:20 AM 452 Views
They comprise about 98% of what passes for her acting ability. - 27/06/2017 06:14:31 AM 603 Views
Nonsense. She does a great job - at least in those movies, haven't seen her in anything else. - 27/06/2017 06:20:26 AM 647 Views
Hasn't BEEN in anything else. That anyone else saw, anyway. - 27/06/2017 03:18:48 PM 736 Views
Pretty sure that a lot of people saw her in Beauty & The Beast - 27/06/2017 03:26:29 PM 674 Views
In which, incidentally, she could neither act nor sing. *NM* - 28/06/2017 03:13:32 AM 457 Views
That's not the point. The point is she was seen in a film that garnered over $1billion. *NM* - 28/06/2017 12:18:14 PM 432 Views

One of the rather few things in the series that I'd say Rowling got wrong... - 26/06/2017 07:32:43 PM 677 Views
