It’s been really fun watching Emma Stone go from being in raunchy comedies like Superbad and House Bunny to doing weird art shit like Poor Things and The Curse and producing I Saw The TV Glow

This is basically my favorite arc for actors: when they got all their commercial stuff out of their system and now they get to play. Daniel Radcliffe did a similar pivot
She’s smart enough to avoid getting type-cast, and business-savvy enough to know it’s a random chance whether a female actress is going to have a decent acting career after she’s 40 in Hollywood. She does seem pretty cool.
I saw her audition for The Partridge Family and I knew she was going to do amazing things. She sang I’m a Bitch and felt herself up. The other girls were forgettable.
She is expanding her range. I really hope that we will get her as director someday too. Getting a project completely through her lense would be awesome.
I've had trouble watching her through all of that. I just have a lot of stuff going on, so I'm not usually checking the credits and stuff. But it sounds really cool– I'll bookmark her Wikipedia page and see if that helps to remind me
Highly recommend the Favourite if you haven’t seen it. Rachel Weisz, Olivia Coleman, and Emma Stone star in a lesbian period piece about Queen Ann. It’s a great movie. It’s absurd, raunchy, funny, and weird. A fun 2 hours.
That’s one of those movies that I give credit for being better than the premise, and better than it needs to be. It’s the kind of movie that usually gets completely phoned in by everyone involved, and the people making it didn’t do that.
The parents are especially well-acted, particularly in comparison to parents in similar teen sex comedies.
The whole family dynamic is suprisingly realistic and oddly heartwarming.
She’s very cool. She went to my old high school for half a semester then dropped out. She actually made a PowerPoint to convince her parents to move to LA called “Project Hollywood”. Probably my favorite celebrity fact :)
In Scotland get a lot of (heated) discussion about whether Poor Things was respectful of Alasdair Gray’s work, what was lost in adaptation, etc, but everyone is pretty unanimous that Emma Stone was exceptional (even if they did make her English..)
I mean if we’re being real here she’s been there since like the early 2010’s, the Help, Crazy Stupid Love, La La Land even though it was a little later on

It's underrated.
Dare I say, even touching in spots.
Definitely an unexpected joy to watch. And again, with more heart than one really believes possible in such a film.
