Michael Fassbender

[Gemini Chica]

Omg, you've just described in a nutshell the sort of men I usually lust after!
We can have a separate thread, or do some lovely OT dedication to these men once in a while within the Fassy topic. I'm all for both Well... I need to watch Boardwalk Empire first and foremost.

Yes, you need to get on that, like now because Michael Pitt (I can't believe what they did to Jimmy this season!!!) is so effing hot, I can't stand it. But my honey on that show is most definitely Richard, played by the aforementioned Jack Huston. Damn, that man is fine as wine, even with his character's effed-up face on the show. And I love his style.

This is exactly the reason why I'm sad that McQueen won't make 12 years in the UK. He is such a talented guy who thinks out of the box, contrary to the bastillion of white, middle-class, elitists men. We finally have our champion now, but he hasn't shot any of his films here, despite the fact that there is so much talent out here.

Yeah, he can't really shoot it anywhere besides the U.S. South. Even I was hoping they'd shoot it out west somewhere near...oh, I don't know...California, maybe . But I knew better, of course. You have to shoot a movie like that near to where the events took place. Otherwise, people in this country are going to be like, "um...no ." Location authenticity is will certainly be an issue to American audiences.

Another huge thing will be accents. Now, as much as I love Michael and Chiwetel, I'm not even kidding when I say that their accents better be on point. I have a huge issue with non-Americans f*cking up the various American accents (and vice versa, to be sure...can't stand to hear Americans butcher foreign accents! can't stand it!). Maybe it's because my family isn't originally from America that I can easily detect when someone's accent isn't on point, but it really gets under my skin and can ruin a movie for me.

Oooooh HOT ALERT. Yes, gotta get my hands on a B.E. dvd soon
However, ixnay (for me) on the Michael Pitt lust. Great actor ... but he always looks completely drugged out of his mind, like a hot mess ticking bomb. Maybe his Jimmy will convince me otherwise!

Hi!

Let's start a new thread for hotties that aren't Michael Fassbender

He is cute.

He looks a lot like a Swedish actor called Michael Jonsson.

How I added sex noises to Shame

Actor John Moraitis was brought in to add both dialogue and sounds to sex scenes in Steve McQueen's explicit film

I'm an actor, and when I'm between roles, my bread-and-butter is something called ADR – additional dialogue recording – where I go to a studio and record background conversations for scenes from films in post-production. It's often a restaurant scene. You stand at the microphone with another actor, watch a video of the sequence, pick two characters at a table in the background and improvise.


Last summer, I was invited to do ADR for Shame. At the time, we knew nothing about the film. My agent said: "It involves sexual sounds. Do you mind?" I said: "No, it's just a job. It's fine."

The sound engineer kept the sexual stuff till the end. There's a scene where Michael Fassbender's character goes to a gay club. At the back of some shots, couples were at it. So I stood at the microphone with another guy and we improvised. For example: "Yeah. YEAH. Go deeper, GO DEEPER." The sound engineer would say: "OK, a bit more intense, please." You came up with anything you could think of. "Who's your daddy?" Stuff like that.

One of the more entertaining moments came when we had to evoke the sound of a penis entering an open mouth. The engineer was almost embarrassed but we found it amusing. None of us had done anything like that before, but it was a hoot. There was a kind of one-upmanship.

The art of ADR is to make the noises blend in, so when I saw the finished film, I couldn't make out my own voice. I thought the film was terrific. I'm not sure how much I cared about the main character, but it was beautifully acted. And the ADR was great.

I still haven't watched Boardwalk. It's only on Sky at the moment. I read a lot about it though.

This guy btw, does absolutely nothing for me. Not impressed.

Tom Hiddleston Replaces Michael Fassbender In Jim Jarmusch's Vampire Romance


Just when I’m ready to wave the white flag on vampire movies, to declare that Fright Night remakes, Twilight sagas and full seasons of True Blood have exhausted my thirst for undead stories, Jim Jarmusch goes ahead and reveals he’ll be making a vampire film with Tilda Swinton, John Hurt and Mia Wasikowska. Seriously, that thing can’t reach theaters soon enough.

Unfortunatelly, Jarmusch won’t begin shooting Only Loves Left Alive until later this year, according to a report in The Hollywood Reporter, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t news aplenty swirling around the centuries-old love story between two vamps. For instance, War Horse star Tom Hiddleston joined the ensemble in a role originally intended for Michael Fassbender. Losing Fassbender hurts virtually any project, but Hiddleston’s a sizable talent, and that cast is dreamy, no matter what.

^ Thanks for the Guardian article!

One of the people working for an international sales and marketing company that distribute both Dangerous Method and Shame shared this anecdote on another forum, re: Shame, it's pretty hilarious imho:

When the film was delivered to Fox, in order to comply with DOJ (department of justice) regulations concerning the showing of sexual acts or performers, and the requirements that records with ages and names are kept, the producers had to go through every single pornographic image featured in the film and try and identify who the performers were. It was literally flicking through porn mags and DVDs trying to match genitals on screen with those in the magazine or DVD - for days! They made use of one guy who had a frightening ability to identify porn stars from crotch shots alone.

Fox has just closed a deal with Matthew Vaughn to come back and direct the sequel to X-Men: First Class, with Simon Kinberg writing the script and Bryan Singer back as producer.

WTF!! I'll bet you that porn expert's name is Erin.

WTF!! I'll bet you that porn expert's name is Erin.

:lolots: We laugh, but there is a subsection to that (mainly male oriented) forum where people can post T&A porn shots, and ask for a person identification.... and someone, somewhere, always has a ready answer. Then again, I can probably ID Fassy's butt from a lineup of pictures, so I shouldn't throw stones from my glass house

I agree. I wasn't suggesting that he'd move the entire production from the US to a soundstage in Pinewood studios. That would be horrible. Hunger was shot in a studio in Belfast. The prison that they replicated in Belfast could have been built in Pinewood or Shepperton as well, but the film probably wouldn't have been as good and authentic.

I just meant that it would be nice if McQueen could make a film in the UK. Hopefully if this film is a success he will make the Fela Kutti (with Chiwetel) film in London.

Michael's American accent was not flawless in Shame. You could hear it was a bit wonky at times. Of course they used the explanation that Brendan moved to the States in his teens, but I don't remember reading that in the original script. He and Chiwotel better not fudge it up.

Then you'll have no problem ID-ing this booty:

That's a perfect bubble butt! Too bad it drooped a bit after all that lost weight post-Hunger. There's a local bakery that sells a bread confection aptly named "Butt" (fesse) and I'll pretend it's an indirect nod to the Fass.

Imagine what type of bread confection they'd have in store if Shame inspired them culinarily
