Michael Fassbender

[BagBerry13]

I thought that he was just prepping the beard for Macbeth. Filming is supposed to start on the 27th but I saw a tweet where someone started work today (unless he's just helping out with the set at the moment) and a movie critic said he said he isn't at sundance because he's filming Macbeth... but that might be wrong because they're filming in Surrey, not Scotland.

Either way, both places are in the UK so he won't fly in just for Sundance.

Well, pre-production work with actors sometimes takes a couple weeks. Sometimes they can arrive on set and start shooting, but most of the time not.

Anyways, I thought it was obvious that Sundance was never in the picture for him. He wasn't going to fly from LA to London for the Graham Norton Show all the way back to Park City again. He missed one appearance on a talk show. Big whup.

I would've liked to see him at the SAGs tonight but filming is much more important
To be honest, I'm not that interested in the Macbeth film. He'll obviously be great in it but I never liked Shakespeare

 

[BadAzzBish]

He should have attended the SAG awards. I'm thinking MG has sunk her claws into him and will drain him if he lets her. She's a vampire and a tired, plastic looking one at that!

I dip in and out of the Fassy fandom so I feel very lost right now.

I thought he made it pretty clear that he wasn't going to be campaigning for awards season after the "Shame" disappointment. It's pretty obvious that he's not going to win Best Supporting Actor at any of these things, so it's not like he's snubbing.

I don't know anything about this chick and I'm sure Fassy doesn't either. I doubt she is the reason he wouldn't attend an award show. I think he's very focused on his career and wouldn't let some random interfere with anything.

I thought that Michael got his SAG card earlier, but then I realised that before Inglorious Basterds the only American projects he did were Band Of Brothers and 300.

During award seasons, between attending ceremonies and campaigning, when does one have time to film. They spend pratically half of the year campaigning, between september to february. I totally understand why someone doesn't want to do all those stuff. They are actors not politician
He is an actor's actor. With all the project that it is offered to him, he is still willing to work with young directors and take risk like in Frank. I am glad that he is not one of those actors that only work with establish directors.

LOOOOL

So Ben Affleck did a joke mentioning Michael
"I was at the bar briefly, and I came back to my seat and somebody said, ‘You know, there was a guy up on stage who said you have a big d--k,'" the Oscar winner joked to the audience. "I was like, ‘You know, isn't that always how is goes? The one time it happens and I miss it!' Thank you very much. Whoever you are, God bless you. I'm often confused with Matt Damon but rarely with Michael Fassbender, so..."

I hate that Hollywood would not let go of the penis jokes I've seen a recent gifset that asked him if he was going to be naked again

Anyways I love this Frank still. His arms are fantastic:

And his eyes looks beautiful in this Vogue outtake

TBH - It would just be nice to see him re-surface after the MG bomb (whenever that is)

Although he may actually be happy and loved up, it does seem like he has been a bit short-changed in not being able to enjoy the awards season and privilege of nominations, he normally comes across as a quite social person. Hopefully he will get another chance in the not to distant future to do it right.

I don't think we're going to see him until the Oscars He won't be at the BAFTAs because he's still filming Macbeth.
I wonder who will win the supporting actor bafta because Leto is not nominated

Do you think he'll campaign again in the following years if he's nominated? I would love him to win one but it seems that campaigning is very important and he probably doesn't want to do kiss voters' *sses again

....Do you think he'll campaign again in the following years if he's nominated?

He may be at the BAFTAS as its an evening event in the UK, and Macbeth is being filmed in Surrey not far from London where they will be held.

Also I think he would be wise to find the middle ground if he gets another opportunity. Everyone desires recognition after all, and if his attitude is that of dismissal of these award bodies, they may just rule him out as someone who would not appreciate the award so why bother to nominate him in the first place.

Oh yeah! I forgot how close they are.. hopefully he brings his parents instead of a certain someone as his guest I've noticed that baby rumor has been making rounds again

I actually hope he brings MG to the BAFTAS, not to poke and stare ...lol
But rather to solidify their relationship if they have one in the face of all opposition.
If they are together and he takes family members or goes stag, it will just add more fuel to the fire.

If he is not proud to date her and show her off then he should let her be.....its not nice to treat anyone that way.
She is clearly happy to be seen with him and have him in her life...if he does not feel the same then he should just end it. Its the decent thing to do.

Sundance is amazing

I met Maggie Gyllenhaal at Sundance, and she is pretty cool to chat with! We joked around the Soronprfbs pronounciation

Frank is hell of a trip of a film, basically you either react WTF or WTF good and/or bad

You basically enter a dysfunctional, bizarre world, between Fassbender papier-mâché head and some funky weird elements in the film, it's quite inventive, mind playful and too crazy quirky film to try to find some type of deep message. But clearly it has the basic element music nowadays and its struggles, not only to make it big but also the positive/negatie dynamic within a band. It's just funny weird, and I can tell it definitely won’t be for everyone!

Talent runs in the Gleeson family, Domhnall has totally a gift for comedy, he is truly amazing, head to head with everyone in the film, from funny dynamic with Gyllenhaal to crazy one with Fassbender.

Seriously.... Soronprfbs

Off topic, another film I totally loved is Infinity Polar Bear with Mark Ruffalo and Zoe Saldana, a beautiful story about interracial marriage and bipolar disorder.

From what I've read it's a pretty divisive film, which means I'll probably love it. Did you like Maggie in the film? She seems to be the standout.
