Alexander Skarsgård

[scaredsquirrel]

Happy New Years to all the fine contributors of the Skars thread - old and new! Hope 2016 is brimming with good things! A suggestion - there is an ignore feature you can activate if a poster (or posters) are not your cup of tea or you feel like they keep dragging their own agenda on the thread. I've only used it twice in the many years I've been on here, but it can save you a lot of posts you won't want to read.

Cheers!

It's around 5 years since he broke up with KB. She is past history, a closed chapter. Many people who didn't engage in anything that could ever be remotely described as bullying or hate, didn't like her (myself included). And for those who did like her, Alex is past history, since she's been with Polish for close to 5 years and married for the last few of those years.

But I also don't think that smoking makes Alexa a bad influence. There are numerous smokers prominent in pop culture. It's up to parents to mentor their kids about smoking. My mother smoked like a chimney, but my father made sure I understood why it was bad.

She is very thin, but she is also of Asian heritage and comes by it naturally. And of course, the modeling industry has unrealistic standards, as does ballet, as does HW. Again it's up to parents to mentor their children about healthy weight.

Alexa may appeal to teens who are interested in fashion, but she is always the first to deny any claim to being a role model. It comes up frequently in her interviews. Mostly she just tries to keep herself front and center in social media for any age interested in fashion.

I saw that Pixie Geldof vid. It was dumb, but not evil. I personally, don't see the point of documenting that kind of goofing around. After the fact, it's usually an unattractive event, as this one is. Alex can be quite goofy. He might find silly spontaneity appealing.

In some ways she is a fascinating positive example of determined entrepreneurship, by keeping herself relevant and popular in a fickle industry.

Mostly, I'm judging her based on whether Alex seems happy or not. I have zero interest in fashion, so I can't get interested in or understand her on that basis. She comes across as intelligent, self-deprecating, and charning in interviews. But I also don't find her friends particularly appealing.

Last post for 2015:

I think what I'm seeing is a disparity between how Alexa interviews and what she puts on her and her friends SM.

I came across some stuff because I was nosing to see where NinjaSkars might show up for New Year's.

Some of the posts were puzzling, a reference to groupies ie the infamous PlasterCaster girls, and she frequently posts photos of and references "it" girls ie Lauren Hutton, Patti Smith, Jean Shrimpton. It seems she's trying to tie herself to those women. But those women were part of a zietgeist at the time, the centre of it, the face of it. You can't force that, and its coming off (to me) a bit forced at the moment.

She's a fashion darling, no doubt and like I said interviews well. But she's more like the mother of one of her friends, Paula Yates, at the moment than the women she may aspire to be like.

Now...Alex...Miami, Sweden or off on another adventure?

 

[audiogirl]

I picked up on those famous women too. And I also wondered if she was trying to tie herself to them. Or worse that she considered herself on a par with them. If she is that pretentious or full of herself, Alex will tire of her. I truly don't know enough about her to judge her right now.

I also saw the newspaper headline from the Christopher Reeve Superman movie: "I spent the night with Superman" and I wondered if that was a hint.

I doubt he's in Miami with her.

 

[Kitkath70]

I saw all those instagram posts too and thought they were strange. She seems to think of herself as a Bianca Jagger, hence why she posts photos of her. More than a groupie but an actual music insider. The "first" of a lead singer. The Superman thing was strange. Her current man is along those lines. I don't know. I'm kind of over her and her friends. At first that life style seems like it would be fun and adventurous. Now it seems frivolous and shallow and boring. Alex has a lot of friends, but somehow they seem different. I can't explain it. It just has a different vibe.

 

[BuckeyeChicago]

I come back from work, see we've added a couple of pages and think 'new Alex pics!'. Alas, it seems we've been

So of course, I'll help (I should just put this in a word document and paste when needed).
Once again, this isn't a fan fan forum, and once again even it were, it doesn't mean that we all have to like everything about Alex, whether it be his friends, girlfriends, movie roles, dress style, etc. There'll always be differences of opinion, and I think usually disagreements are handled pretty well.
However, for the most part I don't think the regulars on this forum, even when criticizing any of these things, are anywhere near bullying, whether it be of Alex or any of his friends, primarily Alexa in this case. Are there people who have come to this forum and done so? Yes, and when they cross that line they get shut down. Trying to conflate the small number of people who do harass Alexa with the average fan, and especially anyone on this forum is reaching for something that's not there.

Onward.

Somehow we've gotten to the last few hours of 2015, so I hope that everyone enjoys their last few hours of the year, and has a wonderful 2016.
As for Alex, I have no idea where he is, but I hope that he's enjoying himself. And I hope that 2016 is a wonderful year for him, especially career-wise.

The 13 Most Underrated Movies of 2015

Many of the best films of 2015 struggled to find audiences on the big screen. It’s not that Americans have stopped splurging at the movies: ticket sales are projected to hit a record $11 billion this year. However, audiences were more inclined to brave the multiplexes for major tentpole entertainment like “Stars Wars: The Force Awakens,” “Jurassic World” or “Avengers: Age of Ultron” over small dramas or comedies. The golden age of television might be influencing consumer habits, too. Theatergoers want their money’s worth — in the form of special effects, explosions and A-list stars — when they make a commitment to see a movie.


5. “The Diary of a Teenage Girl”
Box office: $1.5 million
Director Marielle Heller’s 1970s coming-of-age story stars Bel Powley in the best cinematic debut since Carey Mulligan in “An Education.” If Oscar voters do their homework, she’ll factor into the best actress race for her portrayal of a California teenager who falls in love with her mom’s boyfriend (Alexander Skarsgard). Like “Me and Earl,” “Teenage Girl” was a buzzy Sundance title that somehow got lost with a summer release date.

agreed don't know enough about her and I too just take a peek to see if Ninja Skars will show up in some of the pics she seems like a fun loving girl and that is probably what attracts him and I'm sure if he is in Miami one of her pals will capture it on snapchat

I'm not enthused about her crowd and their activities. But maybe she simply admires and wishes to be like those women she's posting about, and there's nothing more to the linkage than that.

I can see that appeal, in particular. I'm just judging her for now on her making him happy. I like the person I see in interviews. I don't like her crowd.

She and Alex have had quite a few acquaintances/friends in common for years. And some of those, Siggi Hilmarsson, seem to be quite interesting. But Alexa's closest friends, the bratty Poppy Delevingne, Daisy Lowe, Pixie Geldof, they're not bad people, but they strike me as pretty shallow. Fun they may be, but I think that'd get boring after a short while.
And Alex still enjoys socializing and partying, so it's not as if he's become Mr. Super Serious. But we also know that he can move beyond the superficial in terms of conversation.
This is based on my personal preferences. I don't know what Alex thinks about her friends. In the end, he's dating Alexa, not her friends.

 

[GlamazonD]

Ouch, maybe the last Alex/Alexa bullying for 2015, next year will be worse I think with
all the film promotion. :wondering
(Yes, I do think it´s bullying going on)
I must confess I still don´t get the girlfriend-hate in the fandom and I don´t understand the
big difference between Alexa and other celebs. Her friends have no connection to Alex, except for being friends of his girlfriend,
it´s not like Alex is posting videos.
I admit I don´t follow their social media accounts, have no interest in them, but
I looked at Alexas social media accounts and I can´t find anything strange or provocative in them at all, they are rather mainstream cute.
Her partying and smoking is no different from other celebs, many of Alex friends are
smokers on and off, ex Joel K, Fares, Bill S......no one cares about them (or their gf:s)
smoking/drinking/partying......
I guess Alex will always have these bullies following him and his gf:s. Sadly this has been
going on since I started following him in the fandom and that is some years back.
but you just have to find places on the net were the haters don´t post.



OT: Happy New Year!

Thank you. Finally someone who understood my point, which wasn't Kate Bosworth. I'm not here to "protect" KB, I just used her as an example.

Happy New Years to all the fine contributors of the Skars thread - old and new! Hope 2016 is brimming with good things! A suggestion - there is an ignore feature you can activate if a poster (or posters) are not your cup of tea or you feel like they keep dragging their own agenda on the thread. I've only used it twice in the many years I've been on here, but it can save you a lot of posts you won't want to read.

Cheers!

If I put everyone who are dragging their own agendas here on my ignore list I'd end up talking to myself But I wish there was an ignore button for OT. That would be great

Or could it be that she's just fangirling over them? I think it's adorable that all her posts are not about herself. I'm not against critizism but why make unflattering assumptions unless you are a telepath and you know for sure that she wants to be next Patti Smith?

I come back from work, see we've added a couple of pages and think 'new Alex pics!'. Alas, it seems we've been

I'm sorry if you think that talking about bullying is and I'm very aware this is not a fan forum but unfortunately there still are people who refer tpf as such. A couple of years ago when 50 shades rumors around Alex were strong I read somewhere that even "Alex serious fans on tpf" don't want see him in the film

But you are right there, I don't detect much bullying here on tpf or at least not anywhere near at the same extent like in KB era but nasty assumptions and remarks made by regular posters are good platform to fuel the hate and bullying JMHO.

Onward.

Somehow we've gotten to the last few hours of 2015, so I hope that everyone enjoys their last few hours of the year, and has a wonderful 2016.

That's how I see her crowd. He probably could enjoy the goofing around or partying, but it'd all seem so repetitive and empty after a while.

His own friends are so eclectic that conversations are bound to vary.greatly and remain interesting, Siggi included. She seems to come across as having some depth, based on her interviews, so I'm still reserving judgement.

And I'm going ro assume she's just expressing admiration for the women she's posted about. I think it's easier to assume that, than make an assumption that she either thinks she's in their class or wants the public to view her that way. That means simply taking her at face value, rather than ascribing a hidden agenda.

 

[VampFan]

Just wanted to thank everyone for posting all the wonderful pictures, gifs, information, etc. throughout this past year. Hopefully, Alex won't be so ninja in 2016 and we'll get a little more. Hoping everyone has a safe and happy New Year!
