She's like my age, 22 or 23...Emma Watson will be like 14 years old in the eyes of many people for the foreseeable future because of her role in HP... Her generally youthful appearance for her age and not un-waif-like stature doesn't help on this front.

You don't need racy photos, it's putting other people in their place that gets you off.

Well sure. That's always fun.

[quote]That is, I liked her in the first two movies; in the later movies, when they completely discarded the character of Hermione for a generic teen Hollywood girl, and rewrote her part in every book thereafter, I really began to dislike her (the character, I mean.) ┐(‘～`；)┌ I'm sure those changes weren't really her fault, so it's difficult to fault Emma herself, but with that said, however, she went on various talk shows and the internet complaining about Hermione, as a character -- how her hair was unstylish and difficult to upkeep, and how she felt like everyone hated Hermione, and that she wanted her to be more likeable -- so I have little doubt that the changes in the character were introduced at least in part due to her complaining, as well as to improve the girl's sex appeal and draw in ephebophiles.

Definitely note that that character Hermione changed since the first movie. That's the exact thing that happened in the books. Actually, the series as a whole grows and changes as the characters grow up. They're 11 in Sorcerer's(/Philosiphers) Stone and 17, almost legal by US real world laws, in Deathly Hallows.D: Y'all gotta stop thinking of Emma/Hermione as the bratty snotty kid with the tangled hair she was in the first movie.

Wow, dat pedantry. NSFW is a category or label. "Not NSFW" seems to work just fine afaik. The English language is so broken to begin with that "not NSFW" is much less problematic than many things that are "grammatically correct".

Sure, the previous examples and "Not Not Safe For Work" don't really hurt anyone, but neither does any internet grammar, and your still going too point it out and make fun of it irregardless.

Should I make fun of the multiple grammatical errors in this post?
