Quote of the day

I don't usually dedicate the entire post to one quote, but this one is so great, I couldn't resist.

It was said by Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", when Ron was unconscious after a chess play and she told Harry that he is a great wizard and can save the stone:

"- Me! Books! And cleverness! There are more important things - friendship and bravery!"

P.S. Doesn't she look cute?

"My Week With Marilyn" (2011) - Black-and-white poster

While I'm writing a much bigger post, I thought I should share this beautiful black-and-white poster from upcoming biopic about Marilyn Monroe. This film has already been presented at the New York Film Festival and some critics love it, but some dislike it. I'm trying not to listen to them, because I know I'll like it.

Moviefone revealed this new and gorgeous poster. Michelle Williams was photographed by Brigitte Lacombe, whose works you can see by visiting her official website.

"My Week With Marilyn" (2011) - Trailer, synopsis

This upcoming film tells a story about Marilyn Monroe's first visit to the UK, while she was filming "The Prince and the Showgirl" along with Laurence Olivier. They had a very tense relationship, which made their work incredibly complicated. And then one of the most famous women of all times meets Colin Clark, a 23 year-old assistant, who is charming and totally adores her. They spend together one unforgettable week, which brings Marilyn some crazy thoughts about leaving her world and starting a new life here, in England. But there is a catch. She is a newlywed.

It seems to be very dramatic, sometimes desperate, but also romantic and breathtaking story of a famous woman and a guy, who has nothing but to show her a different world, where she can be herself and don't play someone's roles.

Based on a true story.

Starring Michelle Williams, Kenneth Branagh, Eddie Redmayne, Dominic Cooper with Emma Watson and Judi Dench.
Directed by Simon Curtis ("David Copperfield" 2000, "A Short Stay In Switzerland" 2009).

Dear Emma Watson

When I saw new pictures of Emma Watson for ELLE (UK) magazine and read some fragments of her newest interview, I had no doubts to whom I should write my next open letter.

Read my other open letters here.
More pictures from this photoshoot you can find on I know something you don't know.

Dear Emma Watson,

You are truly inspiration for me, not just because of your acting talent, but also of all things you are doing and saying. I'm sure you've heard plenty times about how great you played in every movie about the boy who lived, but I want to remind you - you really did an incredible job creating your character. I hope you don't regret about your 'lost childhood', because there are so many people out there (I'm one of them) who are very thankful for you being a part of the magical world. It had to be very hard to say goodbye to that story, but it is a perfect time for everyone to move on, rest a bit and make something different.

With acting for a half of your life, I am glad you didn't get bored of it and there are a couple of new movies with you, which I would like to watch. People will be comparing every your new role to the brightest witch of our age for a long time, so be patient. Maybe after ten new movies they will stop doing it, but I doubt.

There are some rumors that Hollywood promises many things and actors sell their talent for money and start making meaningless products, so please, don't leave British cinematography. It needs you.

I'm glad you aren't trying to be like other young actresses, who are loosing themselves once they've become famous. I can't even imagine how hard it is to live under flashes of photocameras. Paparazzi are shameless and nobody can avoid them, but you manage to look with dignity. It isn't easy, but it is important. You are a good role model for many young girls, so everything you do matters.

I wish you to remain as friendly, funny and open-minded as you are now, never to stop acting and improving your skills. But also don't forget to live and enjoy life, because you know it is very short.

I hope someday I'll get a chance to meet you. Good luck with everything!

Sincerely, modern girl

P.S. Never do drugs. I mean it :)

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" (2001) - Posters

After 10 years since "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has been released I thought there is nothing I haven't seen about it. But I was wrong. Some of its posters are very familiar to everyone (not just to fans of this series), still the main part of them I've seen for the first time. I like how they're made - the combination of dark blue and gold is really magical.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" - 'It All Ends' video

And here we are 10 years later watching the last film about Harry Potter all around the world. The last railer has been released by iTunes movie trailers. It shows us the last days of filming, how actors said goodbye to each other, comments from producers, director, the cast and the very first and the very last scene which was shoot with Dan, Emma and Rupert. Video lasts less than 3 minutes, but it made me cry, because this story is seems to be finally over.

Touching words they've said (quotes from video):

"I don’t know, just everyone, really. The people. This place, Leavesden, and maybe just being Ron as well. It’s been ten years and yeah, I’m going to miss playing Ron." - Rupert Grint about what he will miss the most

"I don’t know, how do I put that into words. What an incredible experience. I just feel so blessed that I was chosen. I was given the chance to experience all of this and have this be part of my life. We were the 'chosen ones'. Yeah, we were... Yeah, very lucky..." - Emma Watson

"I just wanna say I love this place. This has been my life. And so I think it’s going to be very, very odd, I think for all of us. Because I don’t know what my day-to-day life consists of without you. All of you. And it’s wonderful. And I just want to say that I’ve loved every minute. And thank you all very, very much. " - Daniel Radcliffe

Emma Watson on "Late Show with David Letterman" - July 2011

I love David Letterman's show. And as a part of the promotional tour of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" talented Emma Watson has been a guest on the last show.

She told how she likes to visit the USA, because American audience is much warmer and tells her 'That [film] was amazing! That was amazing!' unlike the British say 'That was very good' After a break she's going to study English in Oxford. Emma confessed that she doesn't drink in general, but she had an experience with whiskey and was drunk once... David Letterman was charming as always and in the very end he showed us the brand new trailer of the upcoming movie. If you have a sense of humor you should watch it.
