Michael Fassbender

[fandora]

Michael Fassbender's Wiki just added:

In 2013, Fassbender is set to take on the role of Harry Flashman in a film adaptation of the books by George MacDonald Fraser.

It's Wikipedia so obviously this is unconfirmed.

I googled Harry Flashman and have to say this character sounds like a lot of fun. I wouldn't mind seeing MIchael in a movie like this.

Hmm interesting speculation (don't know what to think of it; sounds so random). How about something in Jo Nesbø's The Snowman (as Harry Hole)? Maybe that's actually the one he's discussed with Scorsese.

Fandora, another one that made me was The Descendants' "Look! George Clooney is Good at Acting!" poster.

Yes, that one is really funny. Poor George, everyone is making a fun out of him . Tree of LIfe, The Artist and Moneyball are fun too.

Oh the allusion to a bar sighting tweet was written in jest I don't even know which tweet originally referenced his presence in Atlanta. For all we know, it could indeed be a good-looking doppelganger.

No, I don't think it was a look-alike. The woman who tweeted about it is a make-up artist who worked with Michael on X-men. I think he probably was/is there.

I'm guessing that's not Cinnabon icing. It's not very artsy, is it? Not worthy of McQueen's sensibilities.
Well, the American poster for Shame is hardly less provocative, though more subtle: it has a HUGE spoil stain beneath the title. But I love that one, its colours, its simplicity.

Ahhh! I love Cinnabons. I had 2 little ones on Tuesday. I can never have another one without thinking about spunk now. Michael Fassbender is a life ruiner!!

Reason why Michael wasn't nominated:

"He's a guy who's unfamiliar to a lot of people and did a movie that's really intimate," one high-ranking academy voter told the Ministry. "That was a super-brave performance but ... perhaps it inspired people to fantasize, and not actually vote."

What kind of c0ck blocking BS is this? No doubt that this person hasn't even seen the film. There is absolutely nothing sexy about it. And how well known is Bichir in Hollywood? I had never even heard of the guy before.
It's just ignoranace and white guilt that cost Michael the Oscar nod, simple!

If 2012's Oscar-nominated movie posters told the truth. Scroll down to see Shame poster

Of all Shame posters, I liked this one the best

I love this one, but the Japanese poster is beautiful too. The British one is crap.

As for me, my love for Caesar salad dressing has pretty much been ruined ever since that Ally McBeal sauce-all-over-the-face scene.

Beautiful poster (I love the mix of those melancholic colours; might be why I love the Jane Eyre one as well) as well as an extremely beautiful trailer, if slightly spoilerific. Great use of the Glenn Gould piece; a change of pace from the H. Escott violons: http://michaelfassbenderarchive.tum.../shame-japanese-trailer-uploaded-for-archival

Btw, here's an interview James Badge Dale does with Collider and he talks about behind-the-scenes Shame insights for a good 3-4 minutes. Check it out, it's pretty good. Dale is an intense man; as light-hearted as Michael is interviews, Dale's like the total opposite. Quite possible that we'll have an Ejiofor/Fassbender/Pitt/Dale roster in 2012... Who needs Magic Mike when this scorching-hot cast will get together??

LOL! I had forgotten all about that one.

I love the Japanese trailer, but they've put almost the entire film in that trailer. What's the point of watching the film now?

Great interview with James. I hope to see him and Nicole in more films soon. I get the feeling that McQueen can be a real pain in the arse to work with.

Here is an interview with Michael on RTE: http://www.rte.ie/player/#!v=1133014

Ah, thanks for that link. If any of you are in the mood to hear his contagious and hearty laugh, here's a Magic Showbiz interview he did with Jamie Edwards last weekend (Michael, nice movie trivia knowledge with One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest & Spinal Tap!): http://soundcloud.com/showbizmagic/jamie-meets-michael-fassbender

I reckon that one must have nerves of steel to work with McQueen, as he does have a very specific voice and does expect achievement from hiring the best and brightest. It's obviously conducive to quite tangible results, but it must be brutal/unnerving at times during the process.

Does anyone know if the Interview print interview is available anywhere? Would love to read the remainder of Fassbender's conversation with Brolin.

So quiet after the Oscar noms. I don't like it.

I haven't been posting because no one else was posting... which is a pretty lame rationale.

Haven't got anything new to post except... did anyone notice already point out that Ben Foster was in the photo of Fassy and Zoe having coffee/lunch together? Check out the guy on the far left with the tattoos.

I remember an interview with Ben Foster from way back where the reporter was commenting on his impressive *ahem* assets, I guess he and Fassy have something in common.

Zoe seems to be very open minded when it comes to her love life and has kept an amazingly good relationship with her exes. Probs gets it from her mom (Lenny and Jason have been seen hanging out)

The Broke Girls Guide to Dating Michael Fassbender

Hahaha nice one! Though he admitted at being rusty in speaking german, I've heard him speak a few words of it and it's as bad, if not worse than my own horrible beginner's level (and my hochdeutsch is pretty bad; I've learnt it from Swiss-Germans and therefore add "-li'' to the end of everything).

Anyone in the mood to make Papa Josef Fassbender's Kerry lamb? (or as Eye Weekly wrote at the time, wanna "cook like a Basterd"?) Here's the quite unfussy recipe. It used to be available on the Eye Weekly website, but I guess they've cleaned out their archives or something because you can't find the page anymore.

Michael Fassbender’s rack of lamb

The Inglourious Basterds star shares with us his recipe for a rack of lamb — because basterds eat meat - by Michael Fassbender

Ingredients:
2 pieces of lamb racks, trimmed
8 cloves of peeled garlic
1 stem of fresh rosemary
2 tbsp. honey
salt and pepper to taste

Method:
What I do with my lamb is first, salt and pepper the fat, chop up some garlic and rub it into the fat. I add a little bit of honey, sear it off into the pan and then whack the whole thing into a hot oven. (EYE WEEKLY recommends a 350°F temperature). Leave the lamb in there for 15 to 20 minutes with a little sprig of rosemary on top — and then you’re done. It’s great because all the juices cook through the seasoning, so it’s both tender and moist.

Forget the Oscar, now Michael misses out on Kerry honour

HE missed out on bagging an Oscar nomination -- now Irish actor Michael Fassbender has been beaten by a Government minister to Kerry Person of the Year.

The 34-year-old missed out on a nod for Best Actor at the Oscars despite being hotly tipped by critics to land a place in the prestigious category for his role as a sex addict in film Shame.

Now the heartthrob, who was reared in Killarney, has suffered further defeat, after Minister for Arts Jimmy Deenihan won the title of Kerry's Person of the Year for 2012.
Maura Hughes, Chairman of the Kerry Association in Dublin, told the Herald that while Fassbender is a local hero, he cannot be put forward for the gong because he wasn't born in the Kingdom.

"He has been considered in the past, but because he wasn't actually born in Kerry he can't be nominated. Voters never suggested him anyway funnily enough.
"We're always looking at our constitution to make changes so I would like to see a move that nominees don't necessarily have to be born in the county," she said.

The award, which recognises Kerry natives who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in their working and private lives, has been previously won by the likes of footballing legend Paidi O Se and RTE presenter Daithi O Se, who scooped the crown in 2010.
Michael, who got his big break in the business with a part in the movie Hunger, was born in Heidelberg in Germany, but moved to Ireland as a toddler with his parents Josef and Adele.
The actor and his older sister Catherine attended a local school in the town of Fossa and the rising superstar grew up playing football with Fossa GAA Club. He was also an altar boy in the local church and worked in his parents' restaurant.
Maura admitted that she would love to present Michael with a prize for making his home fans proud.

"We're always looking to support him and it would be nice to have an award for the Biggest Export or something for him.
"Kerry people adore Michael, for someone of his calibre to be left out of the Oscars is such a disappointment. We all thought he'd get it," she added.

Michael, who is of Irish and German parentage, has spoken about taking his mother as his date to the Oscar award ceremony at the Kodak Theatre next month.

He's probably like me. I can listen to french and understand most of it. However I can barely string two words together And someone tell those girls that he's a lapsed Catholic so no need to start

Not me.
I do not eat meat.

They still might need their hail marys to confess afterwards to little Jesus what unorthodox things they've done with the Fassbender

Hopefully you'll be able to practice lots during your Paris trip! It's the same for me and German, which I originally took up to be able to chat with my boyfriend's family. I usually get mental block or shyness and laziness = I don't practice nearly as much as a beginner should.

Not me.
I do not eat meat.

Gah! I admire you. I tried to go vegan for many reasons, but ze meat just keeps beckoning me back in its arms.

Oh poor Michael! The Year of the dragon does not start kindly for him First an Oscar snub, now a Kerry contest disqualifying favor! Well, if there ever was such a contest, he'd get my vote for cutest dimple-faced Kerry kid. And the reminder that he'd have brought his mom to the Oscars, where he to be invited, is unintentionally rubbing salt in the wound .
