Please can we hold it on the pervy comments? by Mr Gorilla	Apr 18th, 2008 05:01:39 AM
You know - if fantasising over teenagers is your bag, I'm sure there are plenty of other places you can go. Anyway: who the hell is playing NAPOLEON? And aren't his ST HELENA days a bit dull - in ELBA at least he was planning a comeback. Oh well.

It's on the tip of my tongue, but I just can't figure it out.

Short-ass meets chick who can't act. by MaxTheSilent	Apr 18th, 2008 05:53:29 AM
Where can I pre-order my ticket?
I'm so glad i live in england by lex romero	Apr 18th, 2008 06:05:18 AM
emma's had two years of legalness, no need to get all excited over her turning 18. Other than that you could get her drunk now i suppose. Anyway, bit young to play a girl falling in love with napolean? Wouldn't he have been pretty old? ANd he wasn't famed for being attractive.

....I can see the cover art already.
Oh, Emma. by Knuckleduster	Apr 18th, 2008 06:40:39 AM
She's probably the only one of the Potter kids who will have a career after that fuckin franchise is over and done with (that's if Rowling doesn't write more books. And, trust me, she will). But hey, I love RKO 281, so bring it on.
Sounds a bit worthy and dull by Lost Jarv	Apr 18th, 2008 06:40:53 AM
Maybe it won't be, but I'll bet on that it is going to be a complete borefest.
Mr. Mcpoops, in Get Shorty there was a by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Apr 18th, 2008 06:52:29 AM
movie billoard advertising the movie Napoleon. You got it, Danny Devito/Martin Benedict (that was his name in Shorty right) was the title character.
This almost sounds like Quills by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Apr 18th, 2008 06:53:49 AM
Young woman falls in love with imprisoned non-conformist ie DeSade.
This isn't the place for pervy comments? by tonagan	Apr 18th, 2008 07:00:21 AM
You better tell Harry and the rest of the gang.
The problem with GET SHORTY... by MaxTheSilent	Apr 18th, 2008 07:31:07 AM
...is that if you read the book, the character of 'Martin Weir' is CLEARLY Tom Cruise. But, of course, when making the movie they could NEVER get away with that level of obvious slander, so they needed to change the character to a genuinely short person. Someone like, say, Danny De Vito. Thus robbing the movie of its central point of satire.
Two reasons Scarlett Johansson still gets work... by tonagan	Apr 18th, 2008 07:56:52 AM
Her classical training and work ethic. Just kidding, it's her boobs.
who else thought napoleon dynamite 2? by ironic_name	Apr 18th, 2008 08:01:56 AM

I think Elmore Leonard said Weir was based on Dustin Hoffman.
Good for her. by Sithtastic	Apr 18th, 2008 09:38:33 AM
Let me be the lone voice of sanity and say that I'm glad Ms.Watson is ahem maturing...as an actress. Sure, we like to fumble all over ourselves as though we were coming back to Hogwarts from summer vaccation to find Hermoine had...you know...changed (greatest SNL sketch ever) but at least she's not (hopefully) going the overwrought "Behold I'm doing a nude scene in a play" the young Mr.Potter has done in an attempt to get adult cred.
Glad to see her getting other parts--she could be great by kevred	Apr 18th, 2008 09:57:42 AM
She's got lots of personality and a natural charm--she could easily turn into the British Julia Roberts if she gets the right kinds of parts. We shouldn't underestimate the significance of her work in the Potter flicks--she and Alan Rickman completely inhabited their parts, and hers was one of the most crucial to get right. I agree with some others above that Johansson is overrated.
How can she replace Scarlett?? by performingmonkey	Apr 18th, 2008 10:01:11 AM
It's a bit of a huge jump between Scarlett Johanson and Emma Watson, right?? She's like 6 years older than her for a start. That's proof they just want hype, and Scarlett doesn't attract hype any more.
Goooosh! by prof_chaos	Apr 18th, 2008 10:19:38 AM

She can't act by Finklestone	Apr 18th, 2008 10:25:47 AM
Wouldn't stop me from fucking her up the arse until she bleeds though.
She doesn't WANT to act. by RobRed1	Apr 18th, 2008 12:08:54 PM
I saw an interview with around the time the last HP film came out. She was pretty down on the whole acting thing. Talking about how Ron and Harry were all into it and doing summer theater and she was looking forward to going to college and moving on to something else. Guess they wrote her a nice paycheck.
She will only ruin it with her eyebrows by SUPERJIM	Apr 18th, 2008 12:57:45 PM
Seriously though, she is hardly a celeb never mind a star. You would think some producer or director would have grown the balls to tell her to keep her fucking eyebrows still for a couple of minutes. She was the most promising talent in HP3 then totally screwed the last 2 films up for me with her eyebrow action/excessive shouting. She takes me out of every single scene that she is in. She is far too OTT, that's all.
Can you bring my chap stick? by pokadoo	Apr 18th, 2008 01:39:47 PM
My Lips hurt real bad!
I've been enjoying her guilt-free for the last 3 years. by hst666	Apr 18th, 2008 02:09:07 PM
That is all.
Napoleon & Samantha... by Wyatt Wingfoot	Apr 18th, 2008 03:00:34 PM
Randy lion falls in love with prepubescent Jodie Foster (circa 1972). Hubba-hubba-hubba! Okay, it was a G-Disney and the lion wasn't randy. I'm such a Hinkley.
I almost got interested by Stevie Grant	Apr 18th, 2008 10:30:43 PM
then I realized the article wasn't about Heloise and Abelard... shit. I guess I should start reading comic books.
Who'd have thought out of the two chicks in Ghost World... by BiggusDickus	Apr 19th, 2008 12:16:01 PM
...that the worst actress would go on to have the more successful career? Bizarre.
Be Mature Everyone by ajent42	Apr 20th, 2008 01:28:08 AM
I think it's great that she's moving on and trying to get away from the Hermione image, though I thought she never was Hermione to begin with. And like what someone above said, at least she is not doing nude scenes with a horse. And please be mature!
