In response to a comment that Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe et al should apologise.
Short, sharp and to the point.
Love it.

£1 million isn’t that much when you are young and you stand the chance of never working again.

Luckily for Daniel, there were seven more after that.

I think they are getting desperate. So many silly diversions.

A million pounds is more money than most of us will get our hands on in one go (or ever). I'm playing the world's tiniest violin at the thought of the poor love but being able to get by on it! Not that he had to because he made a shit ton from the subsequent^^ riding of JkR's coat tails films!

NGL, I kinda love Slytherin House turned out in support of JK - maybe playing the baddies made them less afraid of being accused of being baddies in real life?

Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson are poor actors and not exactly getting plum roles. This is their way of staying relevant. Now Daniel is a father I’d like to see how he would feel if his child wanted to cut off her breasts or his genitals. Woke nonsense. Any children could have played the role, they were so bad in the first couple of films and clearly had acting lessons along the way to improve (slightly) as the films went on. JKR made them millionaires and they wouldn’t be where they are now if it wasn’t for her, they should keep their mouths zipped.

My daughter was so excited to see Emma supporting women’s rights. Unfortunately my daughter backs sucked into the trans thing and is now no contact and may well be taking testosterone , who knows.
Thanks Emma. Way to go for women’s rights.

this actually made us feel ill.

I think some people here are understating Radcliffe’s post-Potter career a bit too much. He just got nominated for an Emmy last year, so it’s not like he’s all washed up. (I don’t know if he deserved an Emmy nomination because I didn’t see the performance, but it’s industry recognition.)

The Weird Al Yankovich film? I don’t think that got much of a U.K. release?

At least, I didn’t notice anything much about it, and I’ve seen actual Weird Al play live 3 times.

I looked it up, came out via a streaming service I’ve never heard of before this evening. No cinema release.

Just had a quick look at his IMDB listing, he's certainly not been short of work so he must be doing something right. I quite like the look of 'Miracle Workers', but not enough to take Amazon Prime. 'The Lost City' was on TV a few days ago, he was all right in it (luffs me a Sandra Bullock film!).

Still a twat for the TWAW stance.

I’ve fallen down a (real) Weird Al YouTube hole! An interesting/weird role for DR to take on (although not nearly as interesting/weird as Michael Fassbender playing Frank Sidebottom).

I loathe that entitled brat (watson)

@WhereYouLeftIt "Still a twat for the TWAW stance"

Is twat an acronym for Trans Women Are Tiresome?

I’ve loved Ralph Fiennes since The English Patient. Being reminded of how decent he is always pleases me.

I think people are underestimating how quickly people can be dropped by casting directors of their face doesn’t fit anymore.

First series of miracle workers was really charming and worth a watch - Geraldine Viswanathan is a fantastic comedic actor so her being in something is an instant recommendation.

The remaining series are a bit of a flop compared to S1 (because the S1 premise was so strong and the rest are just blah).

And yet Radcliffe and Watson would both have earned more in their careers at that point than some of the other HP stars who didn't do what they did.

Jesus that clip above. Emma love -

It's fuck all to do with fearing what I don't know. A biological man claims he feels like a woman and I'm supposed to just accept that and key him into my space? Not happening. He wouldn't even dream of this but what's the difference between a TW and my lovely DH doing this? How can we make the distinction? Because otherwise we may as well do away with sex segregated spaces altogether. And that's going to obviously end well.

And "go and have a chat, look into the whites of that persons eyes understand what their experience feels like". You mean the experience of thinking they are just like me? Again no thanks and no need. Why is the onus always on women to do this understanding? What can't TW do the leg work and understand what its really like to be a woman?

And always with that doe eyes faux sadness at the injustice of it all.

Let him in,

That clip would be an ideal candidate for a Faking It analysis.
