Unless you want to have a mind numbingly absurd analyzation on the dark preferences of Micahel's taste in women, or who he would most likely have a relationship with on a movie set:laugh: I haven't been on there for awhile, but last time I was on, it was relatively normal. Now it's just a free for all. Some of the post freak me out a tiny but :weird:

Wowza, I had another look and on one hand, yes even though generally fandom is kinda kooky and fun (and I include my own part of that madess now:p). But some of those threads get a little too too weird with trying to connect with whatever celebrity over some random rumour. ;)Giggling...its get a little ironic with the Shame film themes about the modern culture, over-mediation of sexual relations and about how divorced it can get from actual intimacy blahblah and then you see pages and pages of fantasies stuff about some random up and coming cyphor/actor. Yep, some of that stuff is super 'romantically' detailed too - Da Vinci code for sure!
 
Fun story.

But it's hard for me to understand why some people reacts this way just because someone is famous.

They are just humans.

:D:rolleyes:
Its sweet and funny, but its also kinda disingenuous (sorry, cynicism just drips through me!:sweatdrop:). Oh bless, the poor dear writer, star struck and in awe of his manbeauty and elephantitus that she somehow struggles to say anything except could he please Launch her Book. Then she writes about an aweshucks-anecdote about how she asked him to Launch her Book. That's just wrapping Fassbenderbrand around her book product...and well, I guess why not...another valid viral marketing avenue.
 
She's an Irish novelist/freelance journalist based in Dublin.



:laugh: Hehe, in her defense, Shame had just come out in their cinemas about 3 weeks prior to the IFTAs ;) Btw, were you the one who posted pictures of Jack Huston @SAG a couple pages prior? I just finished Boardwalk Empire s.1 ... and you're right, the show is FABULOUS! Buscemi is excellent as always and Michael Pitt is revelatory .

... Anyway, I was reading Tom Hardy's star market feature on Vulture, and some Hollywood agent categorized him, alongside Michael and Christian Bale, as " part of a group of “unconventional leading men, like Jeremy Renner (41) and Michael Fassbender (34), and Christian Bale (38) — guys who might not have been the prettiest kids at 25, but who at 35 are somewhere between ‘leading man’ and ‘character actor."

What the heck are these agents smoking? :wacko:

I reckon! Thats the agents are like urrmmm "we passed on them when they were 25 becasue we had no vision" ( they thought were non-pretty, keh?) and "now we're embarrassed that we missed out but they're better now when they grown into their looks!":laugh:

Agree though, Tom Hardy, Christian Bale, Daniel Craig, Renner, Fassbender etc have the possibilty of being in the sweet spot between leading man and charactor actor demeanor. I mean Pacino, De Niro, Stewart, Nicholsan, Delon, these were good examples of leading men that were allowed to play complex characters.
 
To defend the woman. I mentioned before that a producer in her 50s met Michael at a BAFTA screening of Shame and she was tong-tied the minute he looked her in the eyes. *Schwing*

Yes, it seems like many, many women who have met him talk about being drawn in by these eyes of his like some kind of tractor beam. :D

I think it must be something he's honed...his weapon. I know in Shame, when he's giving that woman the eye on the subway, it fascinated me. No movement in his face. Nothing. Just the stare, and how powerful it is!
 
Good luck with that! You never know. ;)
I think I want him to launch my book too. I haven't written one yet, but give me time.



I would agree with that statement concerning Renner. Can't believe he is 41 already! |Don't agree with it concerning Fassbender. I actually think Michael was 'prettier' in his 20s than he is now. Age has just made him more interesting to look at. I don't really have an opinion regarding Bale. He's looked pretty much the same since he was kid.

Agree, definitely Michael was better looking in his younger days (hey kids, chain smoking its gonna age ya:nogood:) but it does another interesting dimension onto an actors face. Renner is a gd actor and Bale is, I think, often a revelation (American Pyscho/Machinist). Bale is a a bit of an avatar and has a problem with vulnerabilty which other actors do not have. I think it makes watching him supa interesting because there is that blank deadeye moment that his face has. Side note - Nolan and Fassbender that could be a really good director teamup.

Tee hee its the fassa-mona lisa. It follows you around the room and means all things to all women.:roflmfao:

LOL!! Truer words were never written. (Insert smilie depicting laser-beam stare).

Annabel, I reckon Michael must be quite the inspirational source for some of the romance writers. Surely he can cure most cases of writer's block ;). Co-sign on the perfected art of the unabashed and unblinking stare of disarmament.

Yeah, when I meet him I'm gonna make sure I have all 56,000 of my screenplay and book ideas at the ready so that I can lay 'em on him.:wacko:

I find it funny that she could barely look him in the eye but she had the nerve to ask him to launch her book!?!?! Uh...

Please. When I meet him, the only thing I'm gonna have at the ready is my vagine. Yep. :laugh:

I didn't know that fan fiction existed before I got into Fassbender. I'm still stunned by it, tbh. I'm gonna employ the old 'if you don't have anything nice to say...blah, blah, blah' adage here. Just here, though.:smile1:

As for the other boards, I didn't even know there was a rule about not discussing them here. Oops! Because I've certainly mentioned my disdain for all things IMDB board-related here. I made the mistake of checking it out yesterday and FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I cannot understand what the f*ck gets into some people. It's like they have no lives, nothing else to do but drudge up the same old boring sh*t. Fact is NONE of those people who insist on posting knows anything about the man's true taste in women. As in the case with any damn message board, a few people's speculation turns into everyone's "fact" real quick.

And yes, there was that one weirdo who was jilted by her bf who dumped her for a black woman but she's not the only one. IMO, that one girl who opened up a new thread about his "taste in darker women" is equally as weird. WHY would you start another thread about that??? :btdh: much? She can say whatever she wants but she is as obsessed with race as all those other... (I'mma be real nice and not call them what I really want to call them). I also think she has more than one screen name on those boards but I'm not gonna go any further with that. I can go on and on about that cesspool of a message board. But I'll just say that I'm happy that this board exists. It lets me know that there are some normal people (or semi normal in my case) in the fandom.

That was me. Not gonna say 'I told you so' but I told you so!:p Glad you liked it. Don't know what I'm gonna do now that Michael Pitt is gone, though. I hated what he was turning in to but...

Am I the only one who really doesn't get the Tom Hardy fascination? I just don't get it. I'm open to persuasion, though. Jeremy Renner, on the other hand, can have me any way, any time, any place he wants with his little self. :graucho:

Agree, definitely Michael was better looking in his younger days (hey kids, chain smoking its gonna age ya:nogood:) but it does another interesting dimension onto an actors face. Renner is a gd actor and Bale is, I think, often a revelation (American Pyscho/Machinist). Bale is a a bit of an avatar and has a problem with vulnerabilty which other actors do not have. I think it makes watching him supa interesting because there is that blank deadeye moment that his face has. Side note - Nolan and Fassbender that could be a really good director teamup.

I agree that Michael was beautiful in his younger days but I'm not so sure I would've felt the same about him back then as I do now. I might have thought, "oh, well, he's cute but whatever," ya know? To me, he's sexy now and handsome as hell. He's got a rugged appeal that, at least to me, he didn't have back then. I love the lines on his face but I've been there and done that with my 20's so I can appreciate a face with some 'experience'. The young, almost baby-faced look does nothing for me and hasn't since I was a teenager.

Tee hee its the fassa-mona lisa. It follows you around the room and means all things to all women.:roflmfao:

Yes! The FASSALISA! Sorta like this: :shocked:
And makes you wanna do this: :weird: and this :sos: and this: :sweatdrop: and this: :blushing: and this: :graucho: and this: :drool: and finally, this :whiteflag:

Me neither... double oops.

At the risk of beating a dead horse...
I don't know about that specific poster but I think there may be a substantial group on IMDB, if you read enough of the message boards a bunch of names start to pop up regularly in discussions most often related to race and sexual orientation. They post with such regularity that I doubt it could be a few people with multiple accounts, unless that's all they do with their lives... but as you say it's best not to go into too much detail. :laugh:


This next part doesn't really relate to anything you said but I wanted to elaborate on what I posted yesterday...
I'm not sure if Ejm's main gripe was with the obsessiveness of the inquiry or the subject matter itself but for me it was the repetition of a particular subject which bears little or no relation to what the actor represents... but I digress.

For the most part I consider the MF IMDB board pretty healthy especially when compared with other actor's IMDB board (his crazy count is actually pretty low considering his level of fame). On an good day it's a healthy combination of real analysis/insight, playful banter and mildly obsessive comments. I also think that posting on forums is habitual and when there's a slow news cycle people it can result in the distillation of certain narratives, for example:
James Franco = Is he a good actor or a complete egotistical douche?
Michelle Williams = Why does everyone hate her and when will she be happy?

Not entirely sure what MF's primary narrative is so far. I guess one would be... OMG look at the size of his... :graucho:



That was me. Not gonna say 'I told you so' but I told you so!:p Glad you liked it. Don't know what I'm gonna do now that Michael Pitt is gone, though. I hated what he was turning in to but...

He has great lips and a good voice but other than that his general douchiness turns me off... in a big way.
 
Finally saw Dangerous Method yesterday:woohoo: - I thought it was a great film, Michael and Viggo are excellent in their acting is excellent and really draw you into their relationship and Michael's voice is f****ing sexy :drool::faint: for me, Kiera Knightly was not my cup of tea, she started to annoy me half way through the film, her accent especially:tdown:
Locations, costumes and the cinematography are beautiful capturing the period so well - I found the ending quite sad:crybaby::crybaby:
Could easily watch it again!!!
