I brought a little gift. I hope you like it, ladies. It's a motivation as well since there's a gym visit today.

BBI'm so gladI'm heading into winter it means less work at the gym and mire time for being lazy !!
^^Great you had to tell me that. I'm facing very quick the summer. I can't lay on the couch and hoping for the belly to magically disappear.
16°C outside. You see a Happy BagBerry.

They did a movie together called Straw Dogs?I really didn't catch that. I mean, they never talk about it. When does it come out?
Glad everyone's sense of humor is still intact! By the way, did you also know that Kate Bosworth has a tall Swedish boyfriend and is in a relationship that she can't discuss? But his initials are Alexander Skarsgard. oops - did I just say that? Free, agree, the linking/photo thing he knows about. JMint has been using the JJ pap pics to promote her pieces for a while, we know when the earrings have to be taken out for a walk and show. It's all part of the visibility.
Dungeon scene. Yep, it's almost summer here and unlike Alex, I haven't been to Equinox every day, so need to get back in gear.
Exactly. There is wanting privacy. And then there is drawing attention to yourself and your "private life." This is not complicated. At all. I agree. He is the reason for his own problems. If he doesn't like the press, then he needs to stop baiting them. Act normal and you will have a "normal" life. Not hard to figure out. If you make a spectacle out of things, there will be a spectacle. Showing up at the same party and ignoring each other for "privacy" is making a spectacle. Unless he really doesn't like her and she just won't leave.
I wish the last sentence in you post were true, but I think it's the complete opposite. I also feel Alex has been on board with Kate and Jewlemint since day one. He is in total support of his girlfriend and wants to help her out and be the supportive boyfriend. He may not openly discuss his private life and he can't control what she chooses to talk about. He is condoning this and I feel it will only get worse. This is his way of slowly desensitizing his fans to Kb so when Straw Dogs comes out we will not have a knee jerk reaction to the movie since we are accustomed to their togetherness.
I personally feel Straw Dogs would have had a greater chance at success if these two where never together in real life. It's easier for me to see Alex in the rape scene if I didn't suspect he had real feelings for her during the filming of the movie. This just makes it a little too intimate for me.
Re: The Nylon Party
He wasn't forced to show up to the nylon party and have his photo taken. The press for the party were guests since this was a private party. Alex agreed to have his photo taken during the party and I am not shocked one photo surfaced of him by himself. He choose to support Kate by being there and I think this speaks volumes.
Noooo!!! GTFO!!!
When did that happen? Kate Bosworth and Alexander Skarsgard are dating? 
Well, that is Breaking News. And how long are they exactly together? Because I can remember that 2 weeks ago he left my house for our occasionally get-together. This statement is so Amanda S. of me.
Hmm...I think Alex is on board with a lot. He is resistant to a lot, it seems. As far as the marketing of the relationship, he is on board, I think, but again he only goes so far. The fact that he won't speak has done more damage to the marketability and to KB than anything. Also, there is the issue of PDA or just taking a picture together. All of KB's last relationships were full of it. Cameras or no. As a marketing strategy, it works. Again he is resistant to it. Whether it is an issue of support or not re the Nylon party. I think he has backed himself in a corner there because what else could he do? There were probably 8 people there. (Coincidentally some of the from Straw Dogs.) We don't know if it was a private party for certain. At least I don't. I just know what the captions on the pictures said, what JJ said, and what RB...er...the LA Times tried to cover up. Alex as a man has been getting ripped by many women (his base audience) for letting KB take these hits, walking in front of her, ignoring in public, etc...We already know that there have been a huge amount of PR corrections. Seems like everything we say is corrected. So again, what else could he do. Either way, boyfriend or PR strategy, he had to be there. That area is to murky for me to make a concrete decision yet, re his support or his job.
As for Straw Dogs. This was a bad strategy. We have been saturated with them as a couple. The line has been blurred from them as actors and them as a couple. A lot of people are going to be looking for the chemistry that is non-existent in the few pictures we have of them together. While looking for that chemistry, it is going to take the focus off the acting and onto Alex and KB. So then, when you get to the rape scene (which is appallingly horrific) all I would see is Alex rapping his girlfriend. That to me is completely repugnant. They tried too hard to push the KB/AS love story and they deliberately caused questions and examinations with the are they/aren't they stuff. So now the focus won't be on the movie. It will be on them. This was a stupid strategy. Acting or no, that is just vile. That is supposed to be his girl.
To add: This is my OPINION
Absolutely agree (as usual
).Totally wrong strategy. There weren't much examples how to sell a movie where two of the leading actors are dating and acting a rape in the movie. The safe one would've been to rely on the talent of the actors and let the movie speak for itself. Well, that can't be corrected anymore. This will be a bomb and a waste of Alex's last two years if the relationship really was for the majority to promote this movie.
Agreed!! Definitely agree here. Alex is a good actor. And his accent was down. This mess was unnecessary. We agree on a lot, BB...Absolutely agree (as usual

...except for that whole manscaping issue.

That's because we're Capricorns. :lolots: No of course it's because we got apparently similar point of views.
And because you bring up the topic of manscaping again. I'd recommend you to go over to the Ian Somerhalder thread. There's a certain picture you would wish he'd known what manscaping is. And you will appreciate manscaping more after you've seen it.
Well, a fire burns everything down. So at the end there would be nothing and I get the wished for result.
LMAO!! BB! Fire burns uncontrollably in a forest most of the time. Somehow, I don't see Ian or Alex being able to er...perform afterward.Well, a fire burns everything down. So at the end there would be nothing and I get the wished for result.
Speaking of fire in the pants...did you know that Ian and Alex have something in common?
