I like her. She’s working at her craft and juggling her career. The whalloping hatred, I do not get.
Will those same haters howl in delight when something awful happens to her?
I would have bet money you were kidding, Mernieth. You’re not?
“…but why do you ask, Two Dogs Fucking?”
Sorry, I can’t tell if you’re joking or making a point, so in case it’s the latter, I’ll double down and insist that Two Dogs Fucking, if there were such a person, would have a right to use that name. Considerations against using it are pragmatic, not moral.
She’ll be much more popular next year. I understand that the rest of her real life is being written by Aaron Sorkin.
I once dated a guy who was drop dead gorgeous. He was, by far, the best looking person I’ve ever had the pleasure of kissing. Trouble is, once we stopped kissing and started talking, I realized that he was missing a personality. He was vanilla ice cream with no hot fudge to make him truly delectable.
Hathaway is like that. She’s really pretty, and earnest, and seems genuinely nice. But she doesn’t have a great personality to match. She lacks a sparkle in her eye, a crafty intelligence, or a great, raunchy wit, to balance out her personality.
She’s the girl that you keep trying to remember when you’re telling people who was at the party last night.
I hope she hasn’t been Googling her name this past week. She’ll be suicidal!
And if that’s not reason enough to hate her stinkin’ guts, I don’t know what is!
I don’t actively hate her. I just don’t think she’s very interesting.
I had no idea that Shakespeare’s wife was named “Anne Hathaway”. Her name wasn’t mentioned in Shakespeare in Love.
What, not even her paparazzi rap? I certainly have never had any trouble remembering Anne Hathaway. She certainly has far more personality than blank-faced bug-eyed Amanda Seyfried. (Now there’s a hater movement I could get into.)
do not get the hate. Tall Poppy Syndrome cut the chick down cus she won an Oscar. I think she’s a very strong actress, and good on her for her win.
An old joke:
A young Indian brave goes to his father and asks, “How are the people of our tribe given their names?”
His father replies, with a deep, mystical look in his eyes, "After a child comes into the world, the child’s father goes to the doorway of his teepee and looks out. The first thing he sees is what the child is named. That is why your uncle is Eagle Bravely Flying, and your sister is Rising Sun…
[ punchline ]
Reminds me of the excellent slide guitarist Roy Rogers - it’s his given name. I think he was sued at one point by the cowboy star’s estate, but the case was dismissed.
I had the same reaction to Rachel Getting Married. Hathaway went from another ‘vaguely attractive but essentially interchangable’ actress to ‘she’s in it? I better check it out’ for me. Anyone who doubts her acting ability has either never seen this movie or is doesn’t know what they’re talking about IMHO.
How is giving a child a common English given name (Anne) that happens to make her legal name the same as the maiden name of a somewhat-obscure historical figure “presumptuous”?
She isn’t very pretty doe.
Though. Maybe she’s doe-eyed, but she’s not a female deer.
She’s a regular drop of golden sun, damnit. Anyways, I used to like her. That is until I read this thread and realized the sparkle I thought I saw wasn’t really there. She lacks snappy comebacks and has ripped off Shakespeare’s wife.
Nobody tell **Merneith **about George Wallace.
