Wow :this: looking young

PhoenixRising

Wow! He does look young there! P.T. Barnum, huh? And who's that in the pics with him?

Some people can look a lot younger than their age. I look about 30, though I'm 40. My grandmother looked about 20 years younger than her age when she died and a friend of hers who didn't know her age thought she'd died horribly prematurely. And she most definitely never had any work done.

Hugh looks remarkable

sum1

Actually, he looks eerily like a particular member of my extended family.

That's interesting, sum1.

It's Michelle Williams She's playing his wife in the movie, Charity Barnum. Yeah, P.T. Barnum... except this movie is a musical and Hugh is going to be tap dancing and ballroom dancing.

PhoenixRising

Ahh, I thought that was Michelle Williams! I love her!

Well, I'm gonna have to rank Logan as my second favorite Hugh movie after The Prestige.

sum1

Michelle Williams? Never been able to stand her.

Logan is one of my favorite Hugh movies too, PhoenixRising It's probably tied with Les Miserables and The Fountain as my favorite. I look forward to your Logan review.

Is there anything or anyone you like? Just kidding

Only saw her in Dawson's Creek

That was where I first saw her. Pretty painful.

Michelle Williams is a critically acclaimed actress who has given beautiful performances in well renowned films. She also suffered a lot of hardship when her husband, Heath Ledger, died, and she's managed to balance raising a daughter as a single mom with a very successful career garnering 4 Oscar nomination (regardless of how you feel about the Oscars, she did give wonderful performances in those roles). I think she deserves a lot of respect so I'm going to defend her.

A lot of actors are critically acclaimed who have little or no talent. Michelle Wiliams' acting does not impress me and she kind of annoys me.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I respectfully disagree. I think she has a lot of talent and has come so far since Dawson's Creek. Acting is highly subjective. Just because you don't connect with an actress doesn't mean others are wrong for thinking she has a lot of talent. Saying she has little to no talent is a very harsh opinion. She's just not your cup of tea, which is fine.

Saying she has little or no talent is a carefully considered opinion. Some actors are just plain overrated.

Just because you can connect with an actress doesn't mean others are wrong for thinking she has no talent. Just because she's your cup of tea doesn't mean she's any good.

Your defense of this actress is rather pointless, because it's not going to change my mind about her or convince me to stop criticising her. I've loathed Michelle Williams for a long time and that's not going to change. Additionally, I see your posts as embracing a false politeness while actually being quite rude about my opinion and its validity. So I ask you you to desist. Let's just agree to disagree and let the topic of the thread go back to Hugh and Logan.
