I’ve never heard such nonsense in my life. How would you know from a photograph that he was walking aimlessly?
Oh, he was promoting a book that no one heard of until the project was officially announced. Nice job there Michael. Some people are just embarrassing. 
Makes me feel good when you laugh or insult my points rather than disputing them. It's a great way to validate that it is in fact a great point really. So thank you for that.I’ve never heard such nonsense in my life. How would you know from a photograph that he was walking aimlessly?
He’s wondering aimlessly in nyc has no basis in fact. But keep telling yourself: I make the best point. There has never been someone who makes better points than me. I’m the greatest point marker of all time. Oy vey.
Oy vey.
You're right, wandering aimlessly around NYC has no basis in fact - which is why I didn't say it. He had a very specific aim which was helping to get funding for a movie, and he succeeded.He’s wondering aimlessly in nyc has no basis in fact. But keep telling yourself: I make the best point.

Oh my days! Is it so strange to see a man walk with a book in his hand? Where on earth do you live? Get a grip. Got to be the worst promoting in the industry. Nobody new what the bloody book was until I pointed it out. How on earth do we know what he was doing in NY?! There were half a dozen pics of him crossing a road. Does this sh*t actually make sense in your head or does the plight for attention outweigh rational thought?

I'm not going to respond to the things you make up. I'm happy to respond to points about what I actually said. Which is that it is a very common practice in PR to have a person carry a specific book to be photographed to deliver a specific message. At the time that Michael was in NY when those pictures were shot, there were questions as to why he was there. Knowing now he's signed on for this project, it makes perfect sense timing wise that he was having meeting about this project.It's not unlike the photos taken of him after dinner with Simon Kinberg ... followed shortly by James McAvoy being photographed with Simon ... followed by the announcement of Dark Phoenix being filmed.
Here's a link to an article laying out another time that carrying a specific book was used for PR -

I'll tell you something that truly does not make sense in my head - the rabid insistence that famous actors such as Michael NEVER engage in paparazzi shoots for PR purposes. That makes no sense at all to me, nor do I see anything wrong with the practice that would need to be defended.

Who questioned why he was there?
Some people actually just carry books and read them, believe it not. I mean every school child in Britain carry’s a reading book with them everyday. I’m sure that’s common practice where you live too. I always have a book with me, so do most people I know.
Or he could’ve just taken the opportunity to read the books of a franchise his company is buying the rights too, you know like any person in his position would, whilst having lunch or something.
This constant need to make both his and his wife’s life into a constant pap stroll or some sort of promotional tour to satisfy some strange need in one is quite frankly, baffling!

You're right about carrying books. I carried A Gentleman In Moscow with me into work today. Oddly enough no one took my picture doing it, nor was that picture published by Just Jared.
We can agree to disagree on the constant needs with regards to pap strolls. What I take from the comments of you and others is a total denial that Hollywood stars such as Michael would EVER engage in such a practice. What i take from your description of my point of view is that EVERYTHING they do is a promotional tour, which is not the case. Look, I'm aware of the fact that some fans firmly believe their relationship is fake and is a performance they put on for publicity, and I can understand disagreeing with that. But I've said in the past and I'll say again that I don't subscribe to that theory and believe they are a genuine couple. I can hold that belief, and at the same time hold a believe that Hollywood stars who employ publicists recognize the value of publicity to their careers and sometimes engage in prearranged walks that get photographed and help to promote themselves ... which is part of their job. You've made it clear that you don't think those things happen. We'll never see eye to eye, but your attempts to belittle my opinion will not change it. I tend to change my mind when presented with logic and reason - not insults.
