<p>Soozi, thanks for the reminder. Now I’m beginning to vaguely remember the brouhaha that arose when he performed on Broadway in the nude. That would surely send the signal that one desires to be unfettered by such a clean-cut role was that of Harry Potter. I know that DR has wanted to be a stage actor since he was a small child. I certainly look forward to seeing what other types of movie rolls he might land in the future.</p>
<p>“More mature rolls”? Freudian slip, that?</p>
<p>Sorry JHS, but that one’s going over my head. Perhaps it’s because it’s rather late, but I don’t see how “more mature rolls” qualifies as a Freudian slip.</p>
<p>I heard that she was an eager beaver in class at Brown, always volunteering to answer questions, which inevitably would inspire kids to make comments like “5 points for Gryffindor.” </p>
<p>Regarding the hair chop. Not flattering at all.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The NY Daily News is a pretty questionable source for “news.” This story appears to be more or less made up. My D sees Watson often, has been in class with her, and says that she is very much left alone by other students. Watson herself denied the story and said that Brown students are actually “protective” of her.</p>
<p>^^^Agree with Gourmetmom. I have read interviews of Ms. Watson and she talks about really loving her time at Brown and she took the leave due to professional obligations that were hard to balance with school this semester and she didn’t want to compromise her academic performance.</p>
<p>I still say hetero women commenting on a woman’s sexiness is like vegetarians judging a best-hamburger contest.</p>
<p>^That’s because you obviously know nothing about women. :P</p>
<p>Tell me why hetero women are a good judge of women’s sexiness.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>As usual, I did not get the memo. I wear my hair a few inches longer than is convenient because my husband likes it that way. Once again, I’m not “in the loop.”</p>
<p>Emma looks good. She looks 20.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Because you probably meant to say “more mature roles,” not rolls.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Good to hear. This is more of what I would expect of Brown students.</p>
<p>She looks terrible (too boyish) in the first shot posted by sooz. The one where the style is wavy is cute, however. But with her brains there’s no doubt she is perferctly capable of positioning herself for whatever careers moves she’s interested in pursuing!</p>
<p>I know someone whose D went to Brown, had classes, and knew Emma Watson, and from that source, she was not leaving Brown due to any problems other than the schedule is incompatible with her goals and near future opportunities. I agree Gallatin would be a good choice for her. I don’t know how Jody Foster, Brooke Shields, Natalie Portman got through HPY with their schedules. </p>
<p>I agree that there are a lot of little known schools that have strong specialty niches that are highly selective. I’d hardly put Penn State in that category, but there are schools like Columbia (in Chicago), Webster, Roosevelt in that category. I didn’t know Western Michigan had a selective theater program, however.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is how Brooke Shields did it:</p>
<p>[At</a> Princeton, They Call it an Education - Op-Ed - NYTimes.com](<a href=“http://www.nytimes.com/1987/08/15/opinion/at-princeton-they-call-it-an-education.html]At”>http://www.nytimes.com/1987/08/15/opinion/at-princeton-they-call-it-an-education.html)</p>
<p>^^^ That article was published decades ago! Princeton since has certainly changed things, and was among the first Ivies to implement grade deflation policies.</p>
<p>And BTW, Natalie Portman worked on films only in the summer. School came first.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Rivers Cuomo got through Harvard by taking ten years to do it. He kept taking semesters off to record an album or go on tour and then re-enrolling later.</p>
<p>She looks terrible (too boyish) in the first shot posted by sooz. The one where the style is wavy is cute, however. But with her brains there’s no doubt she is perferctly capable of positioning herself for whatever careers moves she’s interested in pursuing!</p>
<p>Just commenting on the hair- Emma is finely boned & looks good with short hair- however I would agree that it also ( IMO) makes her look younger even with the glamour makeup.
The hairstyles that are most successful from those shots are the one where her hair is smoothed back behind her ear with the fuchsia lip & the same style for the Elle awards.
When the hair is smoothed down for a pixie cut, she does look very androgynous- which is fine, but I think she looks better without that much makeup, I’d like to see her wear her hair a little longer & ruffled, but I know the feeling of being a cute type & wanting to be glamourous.</p>
<p>I think women can judge if another woman is cute/sexy/pretty, but I would agree that there is no accounting for taste with some men,* who knows* why they like what they like.</p>
<p>As far as her school goes, I would be surprised if she was being teased, from what I have seen of high profile people ( as long as they are not slime buckets), people usually go out of their way to let them lead a " normal" life, but then I would also be surprised that Brown wasn’t flexible enough for her as I had always thought it was the most " alternative" of those universities, but I’m sure she isn’t the first to transfer.</p>

<p>I am friendly with a woman who was Jodie Foster’s roommate (suitemate, IIRC) at Yale, and testified at the Hinckley trial (since she was a witness to some of Hinckley’s stalking of JF). She reported that JF was pretty much like any other college student, focused on her studies, etc. She also reported that it was pretty widely known in the Yale community that JF batted for the women’s side, well before it was speculated on in the mass media. But, aside from the obvious disruption of the Hinckley situation which JF was very tormented over, she was a “normal” college student. FWIW.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s a mystery.</p>
<p>Nobody can speak for all hetero male college students. We can all (male, female, gay, straight) only say what looks attractive to us. </p>
<p>I think she looks hot. Not that it does her (or me) any good what I think of her.</p>
