She breaks down in the bedroom all by herself and I don't think I've ever bawled so loudly in a movie theatre... GREAT actress loved the scene in “Love Actually” where she realizes that the Xmas gift from her husband is not for her – it’s for his mistress. She breaks down in the bedroom all by herself and I don’t think I’ve ever bawled so loudly in a movie theatre… GREAT actress

I haven't watched Sense and Sensibility the same way since finding that out. He's so foppish in that movie. It's funny when you see them together now, looking like a normal couple. Ahh!

He must be nice in person, but after playing Willoughby and a psycho in a Ms Marple, I can't look at him without shuddering! Anyways, as for Emma, she is WONDERFUL, and I love her!

And I totally agree with her that kids can handle more than we give them credit for. In fact, there's a developmental psych theory that sees classic fairy tales (not the sanitized Disney versions, rather the ones with some dark, grim, scary elements) as a kind of "sandbox" for children. Historically, those kinds of dark stories and images have allowed kids to think about, question, and engage with life's harder realities, but in a sort of safe space that's clearly sectioned off from actual reality.

There was a story about it on the BBC website some time ago. She did at first until someone, a fan maybe, clued her into the facts of Polanski’s case and then she withdrew her support.

As a grown woman, I've even watched Nanny McPhee (it helps too that Colin Firth is in there too..) Quickly, I saw The Tall Guy with a director who pulled up in a limo and was on a completely other tangent than me but Emma Thomson was so good in the movie, even a lame attempt at a casting couch-ish "date" doesn't erase the memory of her great performance. She's always spectacular on the screen. I’ve loved her since The Tall Guy. As a grown woman, I’ve even watched Nanny McPhee (it helps too that Colin Firth is in there too..)

Children know what you tell them. PEOPLE have instincts about danger, but children don't know what is dangerous and what isn't until we tell them. Meh. Children know what you tell them.
