    First reviews in for “Little Women”, Saoirse Ronan “amazing, breathes new life into her character, she steals the film”, Florence Pugh “She lights up the screen, it’s her breakthrough role” and right at the bottom, “Emma Watson tries”.

    All of the cast appear including Meryl Streep, appear for an on-stage Q&A, Emma Watson did not appear.

    Just found this:

    #LittleWomen is delightful, Saorise Ronan is at her best ever & while she doesn’t send any boys to death in a burning bear suit, @Florence_Pugh makes Meryl Streep her bitch. Greta Gerwig kicks ass behind the camera yet again. Emma Watson tries.

    Two bonnets up!

    "Steals the film" :thinks:Can a main character "steal" a film?

    Nothing new about Emma, she has been trying for a while...

    Dennis Dugan Fan.... Dennis Dugan best known as the director of You Don't Mess with the Zohan, Grown Ups, Jack & Jill... :confused:

    I know Emma is a mediocre actress, but that guy loves Adam Sandler's movies :dunno: :lol:

    His films have probably made more than Emma's post box office (excluding Beauty) Post Potter, its hard to know how much she's Influenced by her Management (as far as I know they've been around since the last few Potter films) on her film choices, but if they have she needs new management.

    She's yet to have a breakthrough role post Potter and Karen Gillan out-acted her off the screen in "The Circle", (Karen should of been the lead), its frustrating because with the right film she might just shine.

    Being a actress that wasnt sure whether she wanted to continue in the trade a few years back i think Emma is pretty darn decent. Im no Watson expert but she hasnt made an ass of herself in the features i have seen her in. I cant recall where i read that statement from Watson. But it was post Harry Potter i believe.

    I wasn't talking about money, I guess you haven't seen his films (don't do it! :lol: ) most of them are shit... literally, he has to include several scat jokes in every film just because shit is funny... apparently.

    But, to be fair, Adam Sandler can be a good actor when he wants, his stand-up show is pretty good... but he knows that shit sells, so he produces tons of shit.

    In Emma's case... I don't know :rofl: Acting is not her prioriority, that's obvious, and I've to respect that she went to College instead of taking the easy way. More than her management, I think it was the feminist movement, she really got involved, especially after her incident with Channing Tatum in This is the End, she practically left Hollywood after that and chose all those indies, until she returned to empower Belle and to be a little women.

    Anyway, for that guy "she tries" for Deadline she stands out

    For someone who "Wasn't sure whether she'd want to continue", she's had a long list of commercial failures while finding out whether she'd want to continue?

    I'm looking forward to seeing what Greta does with "Little Woman", I loved the last version with Winona Ryder & Claire Danes.

    I just get frustrated with Emma and what could have been...

    Since it looks like Oct 31st won't be happening, I've loved Dublin, but fingers crossed.

    I can't help feeling Emma's problems may owe a little something to the unreasonable expectations placed on women - even in these days of emancipation?

    I'll do this in the singular, which makes it slightly less of a statement about the female gender at large, and rather a comment focused on expectations of women that venture into the higher strata of the public domain?

    1 Firstly she must be pretty, if not beautiful. But if not blessed with awesome facial beauty, she must at least have an attractive figure with long legs and a good posture.
    2 She should have an air about her - an elegance in her carriage, a confident style, a clear gaze and a charming and engaging manner.
    3 She should possess an above average intellect and be well read in the Classics and all Modern Literature, with an acute awareness of modern politics and world affairs, not to intimidate, but to enable her to sympathise with concerns of the day, whilst being able to entertain and amuse with witty repartee when required.
    4 ++ etcetera, etc...

    Her leading man should be tall, well muscled, have good teeth, not sound like Donald Duck, and should try to remember his lines. ;)

    Speaking of, here's another young actress who rose to mega fame on a huge hit and has like Gillan made a lot of moves since that showcase her versatility and talent. It can be done.

    Good to see she cared so much about her latest movie(which is getting great reviews) that she couldn't be bothered to show up because of some pretty boy hipster:lame:

    Especially lame since she is all about feminism, the movie is all about females, yet some douche-looking guy(I have seen and known the type ugh) is far more important to this ultimate feminist. Now if the movie was a dud or some brainless action flick, I'd understand. But 'Little Women' is like one of the preeminent girl power flicks for generations now, just pointing out the bad optics for Emma. And this also gets to the earlier talk of her making questionable choices when it comes to her career. :2cents:
