to have just realised how amazing Emma Thompson is?

[AteRiri]

We watched Beauty and the Beast and I told my husband, "you know, out of everyone there, you'd really think Emma Thompson is Mrs Potts".

Then I realised every role she's ever been, she gets lost in it. She becomes the character.

That's rare.

I like her in many things, but she was AWFUL in batb. One of the worst things about it.

'Do as I say not as I do' types.

I remember seeing her on Graham Norton when he asked her how long it took for her to be made up as Nanny McPhee. She said "as long as it took to make her look like this" referring to her looking all glam.

I think that she is fab. She can do heartbroken very well.

I also really liked Emma Watson in Beauty and the Beast - I was surprised at how good I thought she was.

Did anyone of you see the movie "WIT". She plays a character who has non-curable cancer. Movie is based on the care she receives. Very emotional. Small cast.

Agree. Also, Last Chance Harvey [sob]

tazzy i was going to mention that film too! Never cried so much at a film. She was so proud
and so vulnerable.

Unpopular opinion, but I was really convinced she was Mrs Potts!

I thought she was great as Mrs posts
Love her in love actually too

Recently saw her in some awful movie with Pearse Brosnan and she looks amazing, I was really pleased to see an older woman look far better than the older men (for once).

I love that she's around and love what she does but having read the diaries she wrote during the filming of S&S I would reserve the right to think of her as rather hard work at times.

I am an emma thompson fan, but her mrs potts accent gave dick van dyke's 'Bert' a run for his money.

I thought you were going to day you'd just watched The Remains of the Day. The only thing better than her in it is Anthony Hopkins.

That scene in the bedroom in Love Actually is absolute perfection. An acting masterclass.

However, there's only one Mrs Potts for me and that's Angela Lansbury!

Love The Remains of the Day also.

The Roman Polanski thing broke my ❤️. Even though she did kinda backtrack later, it showed that even Goddess Divine ET is human.

As NeverTwerkNaked said, YABU to have only just realised. She came back to Newnham to give a Pudding Seminar while I was there & the [universally unpopular] Senior Tutor practically had a stroke when she started talking about holding water fights (with Hugh Laurie...) on the roof of one of the buildings. She also cleared up the truth behind the story of her riding a motorbike through another of them...

She's lovely but I do think she overdid the cockerney accent in BATB - especially in the big song.

Recently saw her in some awful movie with Pearse Bosnian
Do you mean "Love Punch", also with Celia Imrie and Timothy Spall? If so it's not an awful movie!! OK it's not exactly Oscar material but it made me lol many times. I love that film and she is so good in it.

I didn't manage to go the distance on that one either.

And I watched Junior from start to finish for ❤️ of Emma.

I adore her... you just know she'd be a great friend, esp great in a crisis....

I think she's amazing. Wrote the screenplay to sence and Sencability. Amazing actress. And her dad is Eric Thompson who narrated the magic roundabout (sooo many stoned nights listening to my MR tape) I cry when she does in L.A. and can honestly say she is the nicest celeb I have ever met. Won't have a bad word said about her......

Bloody spell check.

Her dad wrote the Magic Roundabout too.
