>>499 That's not really it. JA wasn't engaged, and he didn't have a film to promote with her, so no PR. The thing with JA is that he was inconsistent, and fans like to be able to trust the object of their idol. If he hadn't said anything and people had seen the BB photos they would have simply said "oh he is still dating her".
haha goodness, read the last comment in that instagram account.
"thehollywoodmanI think that woman to the left may have been Elizabeth Olsen, did she ever turn around?"
people really see what they want to see, even in the face of evidence. not that the rest of comments are any better "Oh is he doing coriolanus again?"
It is EO. Boy's making her wear a brunette wig so they can hide their love.
I feel sorry for him now. I know people occasionally took the odd sneaky pic but now it seems like everyone who sees him is in "photo or it didn't happen" mode. All the fans on tumblr who went on about the pap pics being intrusive are cheerfully linking to this; I think it's worse.
In other news, Sony has picked up the Don Cheadle Miles Davies biopic: http://deadline.com/2015/08/miles-ahead-movie-don-cheadle-sony-pictures-classics-deal-1201492452/
Someone on tumblr pointed out that this doesn't increase ISTL's chances given how similar the subject matter is, as SPC is unlikely to push both.
>>504 and I don't even think this particular user was influenced by the nw3 or the bycycle blogs. I just think that it's a consequence of the hoopla on one side, because he went public all of a sudden when he was always so private, and the era we are living.
>>504 I agree. I wonder if it's a case of: Well, the paps did it, so I can too.
I also wonder if it's because he wasn't signing or taking pictures - she said so in the comments. Maybe fans just feel like they have to come away with something from an encounter - a memory just won't do.
I hope it doesn't mean that the screen-tests didn't go so well for ISTL, that SPC wanted a better horse in the race.
>>506 I agree not necessarily the bicycle or whatever blog. It's just that suddenly he is in the news (to his fans at least) and everybody wants a piece. People often tweeted "I saw TH at the National" but now it's "I accosted him he said no photos so I took this video".
Someone on tumblr suggested that the slightly mournful "count your blessings" tone of the Facebook message might have to do with the news about the Davies biopic. I did see some sense in that. Even if they're both good it's an odd choice for SPC and doesn't scream absolute confidence in ISTL as its big music bio Oscar splash.
Interestingly both awardswatch and indiewire put him as an outsider and Cheadle as a real possibility even before this news. I personally think he is more likely to score a best supporting nom for his Grand Guignol mad turn in CP.
>>511 Miles ahead has already the centrepiece slot at the NYFF. ISTL...
Quite. I think it ran out of puff too early. People were whispering Oscar while it was still filming. Then all this recent nonsense 4 months too early to have any positive effect and before anyone has seen so much as a trailer. And as you say, nothing on any major film festival.
Not that I am saying it was deliberate PR for the movie. Just that the story, however it came to light, probably won't keep ISTL in people's minds till November.
Of course ISTL might still appear at festivals, but the fact that none of them chose it as major attraction, and now this with SPC, it doesn't bode well.
The paps hoopla just made it worse, in US media. Probably why that fb message was asking for fan support. There might be difficult times ahead.
Miles ahead at NYFF means no ISTL right? SPC won't bring two music biopic at the same festival. So the only options now are Telluride and/or TIFF.
There is no ISTL for TIFF. Telluride is the last option.
I'm.afraid it's a big fail. Thomas, Thomas... it's not your fault, though no, it is. Don't hang out with Olsen's sister, she brings only disaster. Its too late now.
"Ben Wheatley’s High-Rise and Terence Davies’ Sunset Song are among the eight new titles to join the competition line-up at the upcoming San Sebastian Film Festival (Sept 18-26)."

nice one by Torilla, TH already attended the SanSebastinaFilmFestival in 2011.

And on the same day, did a really lovely slightly mournful photoshoot that is one of my personal favourites: http://imgbox.com/g/Dvv6EM5DaI
He tweeted again! A bit by Seneca and shortness of life.
Life's quotes, guys he is single ;)
https://twitter .com/twhiddleston/status/629649749776465920
>>520 I hope he'll time to do one this time. His September is going to be very busy travelling.
And now he's tweeting Stoic philosophers. Crap. Such strange behavior.
>>521 I don't think this is any indication of his relationship status, i.e: Life is short and rather than pursuing the adoration of my fans, I should pursue the adoration of a woman I'm interested in - no matter the puppies my fans might have.
I think he may be a little bored, too. This is the first time in a long time that he's had some time to himself. He needs to grab EO or JA (oldie but goodie) and head off on a holiday.
Anon., sure, ofcourse. Keep on looking for the sign of him Fucking Olsen, you know, someone said here, you just see what you want to see sarcasm mode on.
Or you are just a troll.
>>523 I was kidding! :)
>>523 I know, Couch, I saw the wink. I just wanted to mention fans having puppies.
>>524 I'm one step away from asking the mods to ban you. Either you moderate yourself when you address other posters, or you will be moderated out of this thread.
>>526 hahaha it's ok, no worries.
>>524 I'm not a troll, Lex, I'm EO...and I'm shagging your man. I can't wait to get back to London to see him again.
Maybe I am a troll.
>>529 please, really, ignore her. I don't want the thread to be inundated by fights and reach the point where news are hard to find.
I like Lex - she's passionate and not afraid to show her corner. T
And ad hominem attacks are what the internet is for!
You see I said yesterday he had time on his hands and I was RIGHT!
And posting the same Seneca quote on Facebook with a slightly different comment and changing his cover photo. Time to himself indeed. Use all the social media!!!
>>533 I bet he's using Snapchat like a fiend!
Morning is for Twitter and Facebook, afternoon is for thumbs-uping youtube videos featuring him, and the evening is for theatre and scrolling through Tumblr.
This is FACT.
Lol. Anon. is on a roll today :)
I need a better name than anon without dot. Any thoughts? The Force seems to be with you tonight.
>>539 Oh, my GAWD - the past two weeks have given up so many possibilities for names:
The list goes on and on...
I had a dream that tom hiddleston died of a massive heart attack on sunday 9 august 2015 and it was all over social media and the news it seemed so realistic so scary.
>>541 Dude has got a heart like a race horse, I would imagine, so hopefully you're not prophetic!
I did see a tweet about him riding his bike. That - in London - would be the most danger he's in.
>>542 Yeah, people are worried that it means ISTL is going to get short shrift from Sony. However, it's a big company and it is fairly good at keeping a lot of balls up in the air. They had three or four movies and actors in last year's Oscar race and gave them all adequate support, and came away with some wins.
I don't think it automatically means that TH and ISTL are going on the back burner. Nor is it indicative of a problem, necessarily.
>>544 I am sure Sony saw a rough cut before taking it on so I doubt they have decided after a test screening it is a pile of poo. My thought is just that the two are so similar that one is likely to steal the other's fire. Sounds like Miles Ahrad has the passion points and then some - 10 years on the making etc
https://twitter. com/twhiddleston/status/630063033675550720
>>545 I would imagine they did. But you're correct, they are similar in genre - music bio - if not subject matter.
>>548 If he were to travel to Berlin to see EO - sightseeing, eating bratwurst, more pap strolls - I'd unplug my modem and head for the bunker. Fandom implosion! It could happen, ladies, so gird your loins.
The screenings seemed to go okay: some glowing tweets and some reports saying that it needed editing/tightening up. Not instant perfection, but maybe on its way to being a really good movie.
It will be interesting to see how the first proper reviews go.
As for the 'cheating scandal' which hasn't really blown up into a scandal in the true sense of the word, well, Hollywood has seen worse scandals and the actors/actresses involved have survived and gone on to win nominations and awards.
>>549 Tom seems to be a relationship of convenience sort of person, at least in this stage of his life. Jane was his GF/FWB while he was in London, or when they were both free for a vacation, but when he was away from her it wasn't anything, no flying back to London just to visit her. If something is or was going on with EO, it was while they were filming together or while she happened to be in London, maybe when they do press tours. I don't think he's going out of his way to be with any woman right now, so I doubt he'll be running off to Berlin, especially if he hasn't already. Of course I could be wrong - I will gird my loins just in case. ;-)
>550 I get this impression too. Also that he is slightly solitary - almost monkish at times. There have been plenty of tweets on a Saturday night over the years which suggested he wasn't out on the lash DiCaprio style with a model on his arm. He doesn't seem to treat himself to the luxury lifestyle he could afford, apart from living in a nice part of London. The car one assumes was a gift from Jaguar, and we know about the clothes!
Sorry about the italics. Missing that second arrow does weird things!
>>550 It's almost like US Weekly wasn't being completely honest when it said that they spend every second together.
Dammit, US Weekly, why the lies?! We rely on you for factual reporting and you continue to let us down.
PS - I still really want to see them eating bratwurst and talking pictures at the Brandenburg Gate. Is that too much to ask for?
>>553 They are texting constantly, remember? Don't be so doubting.
>>554 Good catch. I think it might even be sexting...meow!!
Maybe they celebrated the anniversary of Pap Night by sending each other saucy pics: He sent one of himself with a face like thunder, and she sent one of her face covered with a scarf.
Sexy.
>>555 Well if she is in a hotel and he is at home it will be easy to recreate the ambiance.
someone's playing dirty here.
>>557 And yes, Enquirer was the one with the Evans story.
>>559 I forgot to put in bold the best: "They made a connection on the set" otherwise said: he is a homewrecker and she cheated on her fiancé. I expect a song of the day from TH in the next 24/48hr, poor guy.
>>560 The smell of rubbish was strong ;) But this was in the printed edition not online, I have no idea if it makes a difference in how many more people will read it.
>>557 It's like a Cosmo relationship article: From 'hooking up' to 'hot and heavy' in 5 easy and quick steps!
I guess that's the power of the Hiddles at work! His voice or eyes...or other body parts...just seems to engage the ovaries.
Also remember the last Us Weekly article the day after the paps, they were getting "more serious" but they weren't ready for a "large commitment," which means, according to the Enquirer, at some point in the last two weeks she suddenly decided she wants to have Tom's babies... as a cover for her relationship with Chris Evans? Nobody will ever suspect she's with Evans if she is having another man's babies!
break up with Boyd in January, procreate with another man in July! Boing boing!
This crap just keeps getting better and better!
I think it's fairly easy to separate the wheat (planted/approved stories) from the chaff (made up stories) here. And this one seems to be a made-up one - no one plants in the National Enquirer...except for aliens and dead Elvis.
However, I would DIE if this was EO's plant in an attempt to move the relationship along.
EO (as 'insider' on the phone to NE): Yep, they're hot and heavy. Yep, they're inseparable. She wants to have his babies (poking holes in condom with a pin).
In my best Whoopi Goldberg voice: TH, girl, you in danger!
>>566 JA could tell her that trying to move the relationship forward doesn't really work very well. Maybe next time EO is at G&W she could drop by JA's apartment and have a chat.
>>565 January? What you talking about, Willis? I think it's safe at this point to say that they unconsciously uncoupled before then...maybe when she started consciously coupling with someone else...wink, wink.
And I think 'Boing boing!' is the perfect quote to describe this situation. Ahhh, from Bora Bora Gate to Boing Boing Gate is only a year. Memories.
Agreed that we seem to have reached the stage where tabloid journalists feel free to fabricate quotes that sound vaguely plausible. I didn't get that feeling from US Weekly (although I did get the sense of one person's wishful thinking). But imagine if she did call the Enquirer!
This all makes me so glad I didn't have access to a publicist when I was her age. It is "my friend really fancies you" on an international scale!!!
Celebitchy now reporting that Beyoncé and Jay-Z are imploding. The Enquirer will have more interesting stories to run in the next 0.1 seconds. It really isn't their publicity fortnight is it - first the Afflecks, then Gwen Stwfani and now this.
If Beyonce and Jay-Z are imploding, the world will need to have a new 'Celebrity God Couple.'
Now if only there was an obvious choice....
And here's something about the WORK - not the WERK
http://www.timeout.com/london/film/oscars-predictions-2016-20-actors-who-could-win-an-academy-award
>>574 Considering there are only about 25 words in the whole article, there's really no need to go beyond 'beefcake.'
Print edition and internet. What an achievement.
>>574 It's like they've never even looked at him.
>>575 "Now this is what we call a stretch" "we're praying it pans out" oh dear
>>573 Cher is dying and Robin Williams was murdered?? I just...stop posting links to the Enquirer. You're ruining my day.
>>580 Yeah, like I said, this one is chaff.
PS - Prayer circle around Cher!
In other more exciting (to me) news I have just found out I am going to China on business on Friday. In my head I will spend most of my time there accosting people on the street saying "Are you Torrilla? No? Are YOU Torrilla?" Etc.
>>582 I guess we can use the prayer circle to pray for Cher and also for an Oscar for Tom.
>>583 Exciting!! Find her, and tell her we love her!
>>584 I don't think even a prayer circle can help him win an Oscar. ISTL seems to be too small for instant Oscars - it's scripted/produced/directed by a known producer/writer, but not a guy with too many 'serious' movies under his belt.
But if TH can get a nomination, then maybe some scripts will come in from writers/directors with more heft.
So a 'Dr. Teich' just tweeted TH a link for a kindle book. I feel like I should put double quotes around the 'Dr.' bit, because the blurb in the tweet was:
'A KINDLE E-BOOK, SEX MAGIC A GUIDE TO MASTURBATION AND FOREPLAY WITH YOUR WOMAN AND MATERIALIZATION THRU SEX MAGIC.'
>>586 Excuse you, I happen to have a PhD in Sex Magic.
>>588 It's okay, I forgive you. Coincidentally, "Knickers in a Twist" will be the title of my upcoming Sex Magic manual.
>>589 I look forward to your upcoming manual. Perhaps you can get TH to write the forward.
Of course it will be dedicated to TH and EO...whose own sex magic puts the sex magic in Sex Magic Manual.
>>589 If you write a book about masturbation you should call it Manual Sex Magic: A Sex Magic Manual
>>585 I doubt that a prayer circle can even get him a nomination at this point - probably for the best, imagine what Tina Fey and Amy Poehler could do with this.
Why SPC is leaving all the chattering about this film be about these two supposed trainwreck of a love story if it's Oscar material? SPC can't bother to pick up the phone and tell someone's PR to shut the hell up?
Where are the overjoyed comments after the screenings? With Crimson Peak we had people talking enthusiastically about it. Here no word on the soundtrack, no word on the singing - and this is a music biopic - no "oh my god watching Hank's live made cry, it was so touching", are you telling me no TH fans went to the screenings?
I even doubt the film will be at Telluride. SPC spent money to buy world wide rights for ISTL, but I think it will be distributed the way OLLA was: world-wide yes, but in few theatres and for very little time.
Or less than OLLA as that was at Cannes. SPC tweeted excitedly about acquiring the rights but you are correct - nothing since then from them and really not much from the test screenings save for some rather ambivalent comments about the script holding him back etc.
And having seen some YouTube of him doing The Pirate Fairy I just don't think singing is his forte. At Nuffiled he talked about how at RADA they focussed on making you improve your weakness (verse speaking, dancing, singing, etc). Someone asked him what his weakness was and he refused to say! I did wonder slightly cynically if that was because it was singing and he thought it would look bad because he had just finished filming ISTL.
>>594 true, besides OLLA was a Jarmusch's film with Tilda in it. ISTL doesn't even have that pull and it's about a musician who was very local. And Miles Ahead will be released at the beginning of Oct. while ISTL is after Thanksgiving Day.v I think the best we can hope is that ISTL is well received.
>>595 I think he admitted to sound like a strangled-cat in some interview, so it's funny he wouldn't say it at Nuffield.
Come on, guys...in the words of Jane Arthy: Keep hope alive!
I still believe, as Anon (I think) said earlier, that SPC would have seen the movie in its raw state and would have the knowledge of how to 'back a horse.'
I feel a certain confidence in SPC and the praise they gave to TH and the music when they picked it up.
And this relationship doesn't have to be a spanner in the works. They can be together as gf/bf or FWB - or get married and have babies (thanks NE!) - and still have the movie be the priority. Their relationship may change the way it's received by fans/audience, however, it won't change how it's received by critics. So box office may be crap (wasn't it going to be?), but reviews may be excellent.
But we can shift the prayer circle back to Cher if you want!!
Twitter hashtag is awash with a frankly rather poor vine of a TH/Chris Pratt dance-off. As an antidote to this and also to get the conversation onto something we all agree he is good at I offer the following. Not new but it always makes me :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMd7piKhCcU
>>598 Yea, these are the days when I don't bother with the twitter tag.
He can dance - no doubt. And he can act - also, no doubt. And he shares both with us. Ahh, TH feels.
Crimson Peak Spoiler Alert - though if you read the interviews TH gave months ago, it's not a spoiler at all - but in case you didn't or you don't remember, this site gives away a major character.
