I patiently await the made-up stories: I hope they will be brief and witty. As usual there will be no accompanying photos. I will get all the details from outside and will be able to verify ....................
Let the games begin........

:laugh: I thought I was the only one. Hopefully they will be creative and at least a little plausible but that's probably too much to ask... so I'll just go for witty and brief as you said :D

Two glasses of wine at high altitude in Telluride made me feel as though I’d knocked back two bottles, which can surely be the only reason I challenged Michael Fassbender to a dance-off .

We were chatting away pleasantly enough at a Fox Searchlight party, when the actor started grooving to a Proclaimers song in a dopey way and I suggested that white men had no clue how to shake it. I whipped my jacket off, threw it to the ground and said I could do better.

Big mistake. On several fronts, really. First, I should not have broken my usual iron-discipline no-booze rule when I’m in work mode, even late on a Saturday night — and especially when the air’s so dangerously thin.
And second, in truth, the rhythm takes a little while to travel down to my feet and I can only really move to soul music from the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties.

So, yes, swivel-hipped Fassbender (right) whupped me on the dance floor. I’m sure he’ll drink to that.
But we’re planning a re-match next year. I’m hiring a dance instructor. And I’ll be stone cold sober.

She's gorgeous. Too bad she's only gotten crappy jobs in the States.

Michael will dance anywhere. There's more on him and Colin:

Cumberbatch’s grooving was shortlived and more for jokes – tease! – but he did seem to be restrained by his well-cut tuxedo. In a different wardrobe, he may very well have been able to challenge Michael Fassbender, dressed much more casually in a sweater and jeans, who was, at one point, surrounded by six women by the bar, grinding down to R. Kelly’s Ignition (Remix). Fassbender’s signature move is a fist-pump to the beat. Under different circumstances he could have totally been a frat boy … with a much sexier accent. When he wasn’t ruling the dance floor, Fassbender spent a lot of time talking to Colin Hanks, son of Tom. The two exchanged contact info and a few bromantic hugs. Future BFF alert?
---------
In another corner, when the DJ moved on to “Lose Yourself to Dance,” Michael Fassbender did just that. Dressed in a black crew-neck sweater (probably cashmere) and sipping on a cup of tea, the actor let loose with two friends and danced like nobody was watching (even though everybody was but pretended not to be).

The best part of that Colin Hanks story is his Twitter response.

"It was magic." https://twitter.com/ColinHanks/status/375878364289974272


In other bizarre news, Michael passed out after filming a rape scene.

But the British director didn't fully appreciate how wrenching the shoot was for his actors until he was in the editing room, scrutinizing the footage of a rape scene.

Michael Fassbender, playing a particularly despicable slave owner named Edwin Epps, was violating his most prized cotton-picking possession, Patsey, played by newcomer Lupita Nyong'o. McQueen's camera was pressed close to Fassbender's face as the actor whipsawed between tenderness and violence, alternately cooing to and choking his victim.

At the end of the sequence, McQueen saw in the editing room, Fassbender crumpled. The actor, McQueen realized, had momentarily passed out.

"That's how focused he was in that scene, in that situation," McQueen said at the Telluride Film Festival, where the movie had its world premiere last week. "There was nothing left."
