What an abudant harvest of pix! It's better than a premiere. :biggrin: He's obviously very popular in HK. I don't know if it's the Australian sun or this mini-holiday but he looks fab with the tan and it bleached his hair pleasantly blonde, too. It seems that Dada was promoted - he became a sort of celeb himself - there's no fan pic without him. LOL

I got to see The Aftermath on Monday at a free screening here in the US. I enjoyed it, but I understand the reviews that say the chemistry between Keira/Alex is not good. The sex scenes are pretty intense, but I wouldn't have wanted a body double if I was her. But there is some... nipple action. :biggrin::P I'm sure that made her uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, I still have to wait for this movie, so I can't comment on the chemistry or the lack of it, but if nipples play such an important part, I might understand why Keira emphasized in an interview how great the body double's nipples had been. :shocked: BTW: How much can we see of Alex in those scenes?

[B]@bellebottomblues[/B] I understand your frustration. I might be able to see THP because it's going to be released soon but whether it would be playing in my local multiplex is still uncertain.

Nice view of his arm/shoulders. :graucho:


It is. I liked it, but its sense of humor is not for everyone.

the BAFTA TV award noms were announced this morning, and unfortunately Little Drummer Girl did not get any major nominations. It did get nominated in some of the technical/craft categories, though, including score and production design. Those nominations are at the end of the page:

I'd be happy if Alex added a few more to his award collection, but I'm not surprised. His restraint was perfectly correct for the role but it's not necessarily the thing which guarantees award nominations. IMO BBC and AMC had much higher expectations for TLDG..

They didn't get the ratings, and I suspect that did influence the BAFTA voters, because there was plenty of competition in their categories, shows that got both reviews and ratings. I would have liked to see a nomination for Florence, though.
I don't think the campaign for the BAFTAs like they do for awards here in the US, so it'll be interesting to see if AMC launches a campaign for it for the Emmys. They got the reviews, and these type of campaigns do seem to work here.

I can't believe people responded to this moron/dummy who thinks people are having actual sex in movies and tv shows. This past low iq and straight up trolling. It has zero to do with a language or cultural barrier. What is next? Are people who die in films actually killed/murdered? Godzilla and Kong are real, too.

There are some Hollywood movies where there are unsimulated sex scenes, Gaspar Noe's work comes to mind.

Not enough! He takes his shirt off but you barely even see his chest. I expected MUCH more due to how much we’ve been spoiled over the years. A lot of the action is very close up, so it’s just a bunch of skin, if that makes any sense at all.

It's funny that "War on Everyone" should be mentioned alongside TLDG. Alex picks interesting, complex roles but these two projects were released when public conversations about their topical content all but guaranteed less than stellar reviews. Like, no one in the U.S. wanted to laugh about police brutality in 2016. Ditto for TLDG's political themes and the news at the time. BLL of course worked out to be perfectly timely with the #Metoo movement, but also because it had a clear sense of what it was trying to say about the sensitive political issues it was tackling - unlike WOE and TLDG, or the Straw Dogs remake which had no reason IMO for being revisited. Not a reflection on Alex's contributions by any means, but I do sometimes wonder why he is drawn to projects that deal with touchy political material that don't have much more of a point to make than 'it's complicated.' Narratively, it's just not that compelling. I haven't seen the Aftermath yet, but my sense it that the takeaway is more or less the same.

I didn't want to point it out, but it definitely didn't get the love what the companies had expected. I'm not sure about Florence. I don't know if it was the youthful arrogance of the character or Florence's own, although: I suspect both, but she's definitely talented. IMO the critical reviews were relatively good on both side of the Atlantic. We will see, of course, if AMC decides to campaign.

So there's no equal opportunity nudity then.:annoyed: Those clips hinted more.

BLL dealt with a universal subjects: family life and domestic violence. We all live in some sort of families. Domestic violence has been discussed in the media for ages, but became a hot subject in the last decade. It would have been a success without the #Metoo movement, too, partly because of the spot on casting. The Israeli-Palestine relationship was always a very delicate, divisive issue - if you care to deal with politics. I go that far, that in the midst of the refugee crisis and terror threats in Europe, TLDG is the least appealing subject to watch.
IMO Straw Dogs was a mistake to redo and the casting was wrong, too. It's hard to feel for the victim if you fancy the rapist.
I think the point of The Aftermath (from what I gathered from the reviews and interviews) is very interesting (preconceptions, cultures living together, mourning and forgiveness) and goes against the usual HW concept (Germans are all evil, the Allies are good a la black hat/white hat). How it came through is a different matter which I still have to wait to see.
