The Girl on the Train
There's something about Emma Watson's accent that's just...I don't know, perfect. It sorta does something to me. And last night's deadpan delivery of "I hate it" wasn't half bad. She should consider playing an adult one of these days. "Hey Paul...the kid just gunned me!" "Put that in your little liberal arts program." "I don't know what happened."

CHARMING.
I saw this last night and was blown away by the HOTNESS and how charming and delightful she is, like a British K-STEW (though of course not as perfect.)
I've never seen a HP movie (and never will), so I had no idea. CHARMING.

Hopefully Michael Bay films her washing a car in her first American audition and lets me see the DVD.

Beauty, total star quality, and sincere to boot. Keep her out of Los Angeles.

She is cute as a button and I liked her a lot here, but she can't really act...of course I'm basing that on Harry Potter which could easily be a prequel trilogy style sinkhole environment for a young actor

Hopefully, this will trigger a LexG YouTube reverie where he covers all the bases...you know... Diane Lane, Charlotte Lewis in THE GOLDEN CHILD, bad "Amazing Stories" episodes, that chick in REAL GENIUS who was also in VALLEY GIRL...

Prager, you can't allude to the supreme 80's hotness of Deborah Foreman and not mention My Chauffeur.

I thought Hermione was 19 years old? Why Chris Hansen? Why can't I look at her panties if she's 19? That's not illegal. It might be wrong and creepy and juvenile, but it's not illegal.

Since when did it become gross to think a 19 year old girl is hot?

I'm joking, MM. Don't get so defensive. She's hot. I'm in agreement.
It is interesting, though, how razor-thin that line is between attraction being socially acceptable and taboo (and/or illegal).
But yeah. She's hot, panties, boobies, etc.

I'm girl crazy. Love 'em. All of them. My range extends from Bigelow to Watson. I'm a total perv. The sight of 19 year old thigh sends me into paroxysms of fear, lust and trembling. You know, she likes to date the rockstars over there in Limeyland. Just saying. She may look sweet. But...

MilkMan, that clip was from when she was 17, hence the Chris Hansen joke.

She's cute, not hot. Stick her in a T-shirt and jeans on any college campus in the U.S. and she'll blend right in. (Charming, though. She seems sharp and unaffected.)
What's the deal, guys? Is it the shiksa thing? I grew up in the upper Midwest where real blondes are common (and dirty blondes/German dishwater browns pretending to be real blondes even more so) so maybe I just don't get it. I went through an Asian thing for a few years, probably because I hardly ever saw any growing up. Now that I've been in San Fran for years, the novelty is gone.
Plus she looks about fifteen. I've finally gotten to the point where, when I look at a woman -- and on closer inspection see that she looks like she's in high school -- I feel like a bit of a creep.
Is something wrong with me?

Frank, I'm Jewish. Not only is she a classic looking shiksa, but she's got a fancy shmancy accent to boot. That's the freaking jackpot.

The accent does it for me. Maybe it makes me perceive her as more hot then she really is.

ZING! Though I don't think that the Susan George replacement discussion was even close to a "who would you like to see raped" forum, you made me LQTM.

She's cute because she seems so young and yet composed and you can really connect with being a guy her age and how completely in love with her you'd be. AND there's a feeling that you WISH you were that age again and that's both a good and bad feeling. It's only creepy when you lose sight that this is what's going on, or let it take you over to the point where you approach her at a party and flirt and enjoy the eye contact too much and test her level of interest with some slightly inappropriate jokes. Or maybe it's not until the next stage that it gets creepy, when you make that second, clearly uninvited effort to continue the interaction.

I fucking love posh birds. They only go for posh lads though, unless they hate their fathers in which case they go for a bit of rough. Most rockstars in London are posh anyway, so don't read too much into her smashing one. Bet he's some boarding school cunny called Henry or someshit.
Kate Middleton is also top posh totty. Her boyfriend's a balding knobhead.
Anyway, here's lovely Emma wiv Wossy:

Also note how she doesn't sound anything like Billy Crudup despite her posh accent.

Did you lip-read her accent, Deaf?
"I HATED Malin Ackerman in 27 Dresses (yes... I saw the movie.. don't blame me) and I hated her annoying voice and her whiney, bimbotastic performance. "

Jesus, Frank. It goes without saying that I don't speak for DeafBrown, but I'm pretty sure she's only legally deaf, and might have a wealth of aids to help her to, you know, actually participate in our little esoteric society of film lovers.
I know this is the internet and all, but show some tact, will ya? Being "deaf" doesn't always mean you live in fucking Helen Keller silence every day..
p.s. I apologize that most of my recent posts are in rebuttal to other posts that I wish to elaborate on. I'm in a contrarian mood lately, which I'm sure has nothing to do with the fact that my future wife wants virtually nothing to do with me, sexually. TMI? I'm sure. But whatevs. Like I said before, I know this is the internet.

Hot, but too bad she totally knows it. And works it. Which brings her down quite a few pegs. Give me a cutie who has low self-esteem and doesn't flutter her eyelashes or toss her hair back 50 times in a ten minute interview.
I'd still hit dat, though.

This is an ongoing thing, tt. I wouldn't bring it up, except that she often makes an issue of her deafness. She specifically mentioned that all accents sound alike to her on the Crudup/PE thread. She asks for screenplays so she can read films before she sees them, and then she posts stuff like this.
She was called on the Ackerman comment (by someone else, so I'm not the only one who's curious) and never responded. I'd just like to know what's up, since we're all one big happy family here. I'm beginning to feel like we're being punked -- though I can"t begin to imagine why anyone would do such a thing.
You have a good reason to be cranky. I have a chronically sick girlfriend, so I feel your pain. But FUTURE wife? And it's already like that? I'll continue my trend of sticking my nose in where it's not wanted and give you some advice: run.

I'm waiting to see how she does in Half Blood Prince. She's clearly blossomed as a young woman. But unlike her co-stars Radcliffe and Grint, she hasn't progressed much as an actor - at least as of the last HP movie.
I agree, though. Keep her the hell away from Hollywood. No nights on the town with Lohan and her ilk.

As an English teenager she will be already well accustomed to nights on the town. I wouldn't worry about her.

I thought part of DeadBrownTrashPunk's persona was that they were a gay dude, not a girl.
Frankly I always thought they were phony, their background is inconsistent, I remember them talking about living in India then they started making references to living in the US several months later.
The constant references to their background smacks of that one Hunter Tremayne person who used to post here as several different characters. Tremayne popped back up at Poland a few months back so it stands to reason he's back here now.
Then again my real name isn't Pete and I own no paste(I do occasionally own some pot) so who am I to judge. But in the weird world of movie column commentators the elaborately-fake persona people tend to stand out(which is their whole intent).
