Once her current movie wraps, this foreign born B+ list mostly movie actress from a huge in the past franchise thought she would have lots of roles being offered. Nope. No one wants to hire her. She says she is taking a break, but the big studios have basically blackballed her because they don’t want her out doing press for any of their movies.
Emma Watson
What did she do?
ReplyDeleteShe's still relatively young and needs to learn how to balance her passion with the necessity of having a platform. Push too hard with the passion and offend the wrong folks, the platform disappears and you're screaming at people on street corners to get your point across.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I can't c/p a Be Like Bill meme here.
She supports gender equality, probably rubs male bigahots the wrong way. I would think though she hasn't had B.O. success since Harry Potter and getting older and less popular would be more likely.
ReplyDeletewow. didnt see that one coming.
ReplyDeleteRemember the water incident when filming Noah?
ReplyDeleteWhat water incident? I have to say I find her extremely dull and limited as an actress. I think she got a lot of work because of Harry Potter but, like Daniel Radcliffe (who, to his credit, is trying to become a character actor), it's starting to fade.
ReplyDeleteShe is, however, the lead in the live-action Beauty and the Beast (not that the live action Cinderella did much for the careers of its leads).
She need not worry, I think....she has enough poise, grace and beauty to last. The fact she doesn't appear in "hit" movies (or many movies at all now) is incidental--she'll be in it for the long haul.
ReplyDeleteOMG finally someone said what I was thinking all along. I never understood her appeal, she's like a boiled turnip. She had a good ride, time to get back to real life
ReplyDeleteYes, this gal has worn out her welcome. She has also become a raging bore.
ReplyDeleteUnless she gets messed up with drugs or something, she'll do fine in the long run. And tendencies in that area probalby would have shown up by now. She's got enough money to last a life time, and enough talent to work when she wants. If her ego can tolerate not being in blockbusters, she's fine.
ReplyDeleteBut she is notably devoid of acting talent. It would be nice to see some young actresses who are actually gifted (as opposed to "poised and beautiful") given the roles that have been wasted on her. I go to the movies to see actors act their socks off, if I want to look at somebody attractive, I buy a fashion magazine.
ReplyDeleteShe's a sexist, which rightfully rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
ReplyDeleteIt's to Hollywood's credit that they don't give a bigot like her the time of day.
Feminism kills (careers).
ReplyDeleteLook like it. All she's done is speak out in favour of equality and it's making her a pariah. Burn the witch. Having said that I think she's also hurt by the way she looks - she still looks so young so it's difficult to see her as an adult character, and as a result she hasn't had the chance to do a good role.
ReplyDeleteHer casting couch game probably needs work
ReplyDeleteOh for fuck's sake. Again.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible for someone to be as stupid as you are, @Yeah, or are you just trolling here? Never mind, don't answer, it doesn't matter. You're a douchebag either way.
lol
ReplyDeleteOh, you bettah run now, @Jack. I forget who stans for her here, is it JAS? Anyway - he's a big stan, devoted to Emma. He will cut you.
So does lack of talent in a flooded demographic. Sorry but young white girls are a dime a dozen and she's hard to see as anything but hermione grainger
ReplyDeleteShe was probably fine as a feminist activist until she specifically called out Hollywood's sexism. Any time a person's politics lead to attacks on Hollywood (for anything, really) that's pretty much the end of their work there.
ReplyDeleteKinda surprising JAS hasn't made an appearance here, actually. He tends to weigh in on all things Emma. I think it's kind of sweet, but then again I don't actively hate her the way some here seem to.
ReplyDeleteClearly not many have seen 'Perks of Being a Wallflower', great movie and Ms. Watson was excellent as was the rest of the cast.
ReplyDeleteThe gender inequality is ALL she talks about. And she does it in a really condescending way, as though she's the ONLY one who really understands the problem, and if we'd all only listen to her profound wisdom, she could fix EVERYTHING.
ReplyDelete.
There are a lot of women, and men for that matter, who use their fame to talk about various issues near and dear to that actress/actor. They aren't nearly so grating as EW. Much like Cusack in the later blind, she turns every interview into a platform to lecture us poor plebes. She won't promote a project. She just talks about her profound knowledge of gender inequality.
This! Lack of talent combined with a very high price tag. There are hundreds of better looking infinitely more talented girls who ask for a fraction of her fee. I think it is surprising she actually got some work after Harry Potter
ReplyDeleteAt least she is pushing for something good - equal rights. Meanwhile hollywood continues to support dirtbags like WoodyAllen, Uncle Terry and another young actress alike Emma - Kristen Stewart who says male driven movies are stronger than that of females because they're better and being photoged is "rape", I would much rather listen to Emma talk about feminisim than mindless dribble
ReplyDeleteWhy do you constantly insult other posters who don't share your opinion? Is it your little world and we just get to live in it? Being the thought police all day, everyday on CDAN must be exhausting. Why don't you take a vacation? It may restore your sense of humour and tolerance.
ReplyDeleteEqual rights, blah, blah, blah.
ReplyDeleteGet back to me when you bitches get drafted, have shorter lifespans, higher rates for all manner of illnesses, higher mental illness, higher suicide, higher injury and death from violence, higher homelessness, higher workplace injury and mortality, higher levels of rape (thanks prison), more punitive treatment under the law for equivalent crimes, and lose your kids, house, and money because the woman you married got bored with you and is too lazy to try anymore.
Watson is just another privileged feminist misandrist that takes everything that society gives her on a plate and then bitches about how she's owed even more for nothing more than having a vagina. She's a piece of shit, and anyone that thinks she's got anything of merit to say is a piece of shit too.
Derek, go fuck yourself.
ReplyDeleteChrist, I'd be a misandrist if all the men were whiny little shits like you. I'll settle for hating the fact that somehow incredible fuck-ups like yourself even managed to hold their shit together long enough to pretend to be marriageable material to be left in the first place, and to pray you didn't manage to pollute the gene pool further with your self-absorbed, hateful idiocy.
ReplyDeleteOf course, not being hired by Hollywood isn't the same as not being hired. Contrary to the foolish statements of a number of idiots above, she's a truly terrific actress, and has been killing it for a number of European directors. Worst case scenario, she's going to to be doing prestige films in Europe for top directors until Hollywood can't stand to lose out on the bucks she and her fan base brings.
ReplyDeleteShe does have powerful allies in Hollywood, including Tom Hanks.
She'll be laughing when these clowns are licking their wounds.
She doesn't need the money (HP money is like Seinfeld or Friends money, only bigger), so I can see her going back to the UK & doing prestige TV & indie films there and on the continent. She doesn't have to lower herself to work for thin-skinned misogynistic Hollywood dicks who would only put in her in girlfriend roles anyway.
ReplyDeleteSo basically, she is right. She speaks her mind, and they think they are going to teach the girl a lesson and keep her in her place... women aren't equal and she better figure it out.
ReplyDeleteI love her and I'm not surprised a gem is being covered. And I agree with the stuff she says.
Get back to us when YOU get drafted. It's been, what, over 40 years since the last draft? As for the rest...maybe work on that mental illness issue, especially if you've been dealing with a lot of prison rape after your workplace mortality-induced homelessness. Give me a break.
ReplyDeleteThey can't get drafted because the draft hasn't existed for 40 years. Whenever the subject of the draft being brought back is talked about it's asked if women would be drafted. The answer is yes, because women now serve in combat, so they would be drafted if it were brought back. But it's probably never coming back because everyone fucking hates it.
ReplyDeleteI don't have nearly enough time to look for the exact figures, but I know I just read something about women having substantially higher rates of sucide, and even with prison rape women are raped more. I have a feeling all of your "facts" are made up bullshit in your own mind so you can continue to be the whiny little loser who has something to blame so they can pretend the problem is everything and everyone else. Stop whining like a little child. You're a pathetic loser, that's why your wife (if she even exists) left your sorry ass. Women's vaginas dry up the second some little loser starts whining like a child. Unless they're some sicko that gets sexually aroused by children, in which case you might have a chance. But if she's not turned on by children? Well you're probably not going to be very attractive to her when you're crying like a spoiled brat.
