Arranged pap strolls are not only done to promote a project or a celebrity's persona. They are also often times done to promote a product. Designers pay celebrities to wear their clothes in paparazzi shots (I've always thought that those amazing shots taken of Michael walking through Heathrow in the Burberry overcoat were paid for by Burberry). Restaurants, hotels or retailers will pay for shots of a celebrity going in or out of their establishment. And tourism boards will pay for shots of a celebrity walking through their city to promote tourism. Since Lifestyles of the RIch and Famous, having a celebrity use a product has been a great way to promote that product. As people get more and more cynical about advertising, advertisers get more and more creative in finding covert ways to market. So it's entirely possible that Michael was paid to walk down the street and be photographed by the designer of his coat, shoes, the Dublin tourism board, or that lovely surf shop in France whose hat he can't pry off his head.

I was gifted with a copy of Tommy Byrne’s book . For those that don’t know, Tommy is the guy Michael does Champcar racing with. Anyway it’s a brilliant down to earth and funny read. It’s easy to see why these 2 get along and why Michael will travel the distance to be part of Tommy’s team. Give it a read if you get the chance.
Yes, but that’s critiquing their work, not their personal lives or their marriage. If you can’t see the difference between a fan being able to say “I wasn’t too keen on that film” or “the team were atrocious and deserved to lose” (hey I’m an England fan, I’ve had to say this a lot) and digs or swipes every time he’s reported to be with his wife, well what can I say?
No one is asking for “blind loyalty”, simply respect for Michael’s decision to be happy and spend time with his wife without constant the constant, boring and repetitive digs.
And how does making digs in reference to his personal life help Michael grow as an actor in any way? Your argument only holds weight if the only criticism aimed his way is in relation to his acting ability and his films.
Where are the comments disparaging his marriage that provoked the response? From what I've read on the thread, pictures were posted of Michael walking down the street, and a couple of comments were made suggesting it could have been an arranged paparazzi shot. What does that have to do with his personal life? In all honesty, how is that disparaging him in any way? I think there is a whole lot of objection here to things that were not said!
Where is the next rally?
I think the Tipperary filming is done, from what I’ve read production has moved to Bray, which explains why Alicia (and Michael) are based in Dublin atm.
An article about the new Child’s Play movie, hit with a quick update on Kung Fury at the end. Here is the pertinent part:
“And finally, I asked about the progress on the feature-length version of Kung Fury, the gloriously ludicrous, ‘80s-inspired action short film from a few years ago. Grahame-Smith and Katzenberg are producing the feature version, which is set to co-star Michael Fassbender and might even include Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Grahame-Smith says that one should be coming soon:
“We’re hopefully close to starting that movie. We’re just locking in some actor dates, but for us, that’s the next real production that we’re jumping into. That’s a big priority. Again, we’re trying to assemble a surprisingly great cast. You, knowing that short, will know that movie will be…I won’t even know how to pitch it or describe it. David [Sandberg], our director, is really trying to [step it up]. He plays Kung Fury, he’s one of the writers of this feature, he’s obviously the director of the feature. He’s trying to take what he did in half an hour and explode it into true insanity. I think he’s going to do it. That hopefully will start in the next couple of months.”

^ I'm not really against it because it's a role he can have fun with. But after his long break,I hope he does something else too (before or after).

Michael and Alicia leaving the Merrion Hotel in Dublin this afternoon. Alicia was earlier seen walking with crutches....
Pics from earlier on Saturday, Alicia on crutches; looks like they were maybe returning from the hospital
