"I have to say, this ‘Alien[:Covenant]’ is going to be – I’m really excited to see it and everybody in the film was saying that there’s a film that we all wanna see, it’s much scarier than ‘Prometheus,’ but it’s got that sort of same scope as ‘Prometheus,’ that imminent sort of disaster feel, that ‘Alien’ had" .
This is what Fassbender said. What is the embarrassment about? Did he upload the http address and post himself or something?

Agree agree agree
but I think their respective age (more than age gap itself) plays a relevant role in some moments: it explains some of their actions and behaviour (and it also explains their different experiences) and it scares Tom a bit at the beginning, when she kinda asks him out and to marry her. He sees she's very young and naive and that's what attracts him to her first.. Right? Obviously not just this! This I just one thing. They're different beyond almost every aspect and that's why they're better together IMO

Excited too and already scared to death. [emoji1316][emoji1316][emoji1316]
I have confidence in fassbender that he has enough English classes, sufficient vocabulary as well as intelligence not to commit such error.
The "eminent disaster" headline has now been corrected to "imminent." A commenter pointed it out, too. It is obviously the fault of the online blog--even if someone misspeaks, the editor needs to clean it up. I doubt if he misspoke, frankly, given his interviews (of which I've read and seen quite a few!)

Yes - agreed. Isabel is younger and more naive but I don't think she was deemed to be significantly younger, so much so that the age gap needed to be explained. Had the war experience not scarred Tom he would doubtless have been much more similar in his approach to life as Isabel.
The different approach to life sparks the drama. If they are of same old souls, thinking about the same about life - then what ? I supposed they will reach 100% consensus and then report the incident to the authority gladly ........and end of story. Audience can go back home after 30 minutes as the movie ends there.
Thanks for sharing. Anyway Damaged done (a bit ) . Some see this like sharks smell blood and then spreading rumors that Michael failed in his English
Blood in the water? Is commenting on a verbal flub really that critical or over the top? Cate Blanchett also misused a word during her Oscar acceptance speech ("exacerbates") on a way more public stage and I noticed and commented on it on other sites. Sometimes I flub myself and I generally like to be called out on it.
As I said previously I haven't noticed him particularly making these mistakes you refer to.
I don't know the context of him using nourish instead of nurture so can't comment specifically. However, the two words have much similarity and whilst nourish is commonly used in connection with food it can be used in the same way as nurture:
Alternatively is it possible he was using the word in a metaphorical way?
Really? When did he say that? Funny considering he could handle Macbeth as well as the Steve Jobs script so well. Both pieces I would assume to take quite a good grasp on the English language. Are you sure it was him making the mistakes?
My favorite is the EW shoot,but I agree. This is the best one from the LA Times interview/story.
This is absolutely true. And I'm sure this story is not everyone's cup of tea. I totally expect mixed reviews for this particular reason,above all if I think about certain publications. In any case,even highly praised film always have its detractors (American and European critics). If we're talking about recent Oscar winners or frontrunners,12 YAS and Boyhood are perfect examples. But I like to read well-written reviews,even if I don't agree.
Actually,I've never read any critic saying that..
SJ was well received,but his performance was unanimously praised despite some criticism about the script or direction.I see that they've already corrected it. I think it's just a transcription error.
I've never read anyone complaining about the age gap,and I'm not only talking about what has been posted in this thread. That looks like a superficial observation based on the abused (it's absolutely true) "older man /younger woman" pairing. I'd wait to blame Cianfrance.
