I've said it before, I don't really care about nominations, awards or the Real/PR/FWB relationship - I just hope all his performances and movies are well-received.

If they aren't, we might get more strange Facebook/Twitter postings.

And who knows what school of philosophy he'll turn to next!

902 Name: anonsy : 2015-08-25 01:50 ID:P/Scdi4r

>>901 Even if ISTL doesn't go over well, he's at least got High Rise and Crimson Peak, both of which I'm expecting will be very well received. But, it would be a shame for him to have put so much effort into ISTL and have it not be appreciated.

I do enjoy his odd social media posts more than his normal ones though, so there's always a silver lining. ;)

903 Name: qaz : 2015-08-25 04:45 ID:HB0EH6FJ

>>894 Ha, you almost make it sound tempting... but no, I'm def treating it.

>>896 My prediction is he'll walk the HR red carpet alone.
Even for ISTL, I doubt they will walk the RC as a couple. They will probably leave it for speculation and interact as colleagues/friends, and everyone will be analysing their every look and move with a reading-glass. Can't wait for scrupulous dissections with Paint darts, circles and everything.

I almost wish I was wrong and they did present themselves as a couple, would be way more interesting to watch.

904 Name: Anon : 2015-08-25 07:24 ID:MFs9uVGi

>>903 Agreed that this is the most likely. He won't want HR to be all about the relationship. As for ISTL I also doubt they will present as a couple. Body language will be interesting. He is very touchy feely with co-stars he adores (Tilda, Jessica). I expect he will be unusually remote, for one of three totally indistinguishable reasons: never were a couple and doesn't want to further the wrong idea, have broken up /decided not to take it further after PurseGate, are still a couple but want to keep it under wraps.

PS After recent sightings I personally suspect a variant of 2. If I was male, rolling in money with a cute new gf and an empty schedule, I'd be where she was. The more so if I was about to have to work on a big project for months.

905 Name: lex : 2015-08-25 07:42 ID:YtoBo/4G

>>904 what recent sightings? haven't heard anything after the Pursegate.

I guess he will be distanced from her. as much as it's possible nit to seem rude- though what more after his behavior with her at a PurseGate lol. they weren't a couple, even if they had a fling that doesn't mean they were a couple.

906 Name: anon1 : 2015-08-25 07:51 ID:cEaCjhd1

>>904 I suspect they must both be busy doing interviews, photoshoots and fittings though

907 Name: Anon : 2015-08-25 08:07 ID:MFs9uVGi

I mean recent sightings of him in London.

908 Name: lex : 2015-08-25 08:47 ID:YtoBo/4G

>>907 oh I we now, I thought Pursegate woman was in London again.

basically I agree with you, because if there's is such a deep lurve going on why isn't he with her or she with him lol? I supposed he answer is rather simple.

Wow a lot to reply to, but first things first, a little update on the festival calendar:

TIFF: ISTL Sept 11. HR Sept. 13
Calgary Festival: ISTL gala (Sept 23)
San Sebastian Festival: HR (Sept 19-26)
Zurich Festival: HR (Sept 24 – Oct 4)
Austin Film Festival: ISTL (Oct 29 - Nov)

910 Name: Couch Potato : 2015-08-25 10:24 ID:Heaven

>>898 Yes, that the one who reported that a friend that was at the test screening said the script holds back TH
https://twitter. com/MichaelNotCera/status/623982718477594624

About Telluride as opposed to TIFF, Telluride is considered more high profile, probably because they have a higher score of film premiering there and then doing well at the Oscar.
I don't really get the issue with the venue, but the category ISTL is in isn't a low profile one, some of those films were also at Cannes. Sure it's not like the Gala Presentations.

911 Name: Couch Potato : 2015-08-25 10:24 ID:Heaven

>>901 >>902 Like you I don't always find that films/actors/directors that win awards, especially an Oscar, are necessarily good, but since ISTL is presented as an Oscar contender we have to comment with that in mind.

I hope that if the film is poorly received, at least his performance will be good.

912 Name: Couch Potato : 2015-08-25 10:42 ID:Heaven

>>896 >>897 >>903 >>904 Over a month past Pap Night '15, I think that we can all agree that it was EO's PR that dropped those stories.
EO has a special bond with US Weekly - as anon1 told us - the tabloids insisting on it were Americans, but most of all SPC didn't work that angle to promote the film, so that rules out TH's PR. If we figured out that much, Luke and TH did too.

Based on that - and the fact that when TH bins someone he goes all the way, see Sian&JA - my prediction is that TH will walk HR's red carpet alone, he will walk ISTL's red carpet alone and the interaction with EO will be strictly professional. I would even go as far as saying that he might even answer a question about it to clear the air; vagueness might help her but not him, I don't see him wanting people to think that he is not as private as he claimed and so on.

913 Name: Couch Potato : 2015-08-25 10:42 ID:Heaven

>>904 I go with your first option and your PS is one of the reason.

914 Name: Couch Potato : 2015-08-25 10:45 ID:Heaven

Here's something funny I read at the bycycle.
Someone posted that Mansell sent a message to JA on his instagram&twitter to support her during the TH and EO hoopla.
I checked and the instagram post is this one and was posted on July 21st https://instagram.com/p/5ZgCQzP4RR/ and he writes
"clint_mansell@janearthy For me, for you, for us. 07.31.15"

I really don't see how this can be connected to TH, but I guess this is how echo chambers are created.

915 Name: lex : 2015-08-25 13:36 ID:EgR5e2Hx

>>914 God that's just stupid... if Clint says "for me" it means he was dating Tom too according to their logic or is he th defender of JA honesty and purity lol. Avenger Clint.

I just stumbled upon hilarious article from kpop drama something about Tommy and the Purseface "soon settling down" because "they are inseparable ". I can't hold my sarcasm to myself, I just want to ask all this people if they are blind or what? sure, inseparable. he probably flies on a magic carpet to her in US singing Disney songs with Hanks voice lol. jokes aside, but people don't even bother to check the facts anymore, anyone can write what they want and how they want and stay safe.

TIFF festival guest list
http://media.tiff.net.s3.amazonaws.com/emails/pdf/2015%20Festival%20Guests_.pdf

from here
http://us9.campaign-archive2.com/?u=bed63d3ce10ec9adba60ea410&id=28b63d3c56&e=d2c9b9c1da

TH is listed as Irons and Wheatley, no Luke Evans, no Sienna Millera, no Purefoy. It seems like HR won't have many people.

Jessica Chastain is listed, but not GdT or Mia and since CP isn't listed I suppose she's there for something else.

EO is listed, as is ISTL's director.

About the festivals, BFI LFF will announce its program on Sept. 1st, while the Zurich Film Festival's on Sept. 10th.

919 Name: Anon. : 2015-08-25 16:43 ID:tV4U1BfJ

>>912 She and her people surely planted the story in US Weekly. That's a given at this point. However, the question is would she have planted them without TH being in on it? Surely, it's questionable professional practice (entertainment and PR business) to plant a story about a relationship with 1/2 of the couple not knowing about it. I mean, I know it's Hollywood, but baby Jesus that would be bad!

920 Name: lex : 2015-08-25 16:47 ID:EgR5e2Hx

>>919 somehow I feel it was her and her only. and then she would make a poor face (Purseface nd gateface) and "It's not my fault, Tom, where are you ".

921 Name: Anon : 2015-08-25 16:48 ID:MFs9uVGi

>>919 The first one, possibly. The second one, I have my doubts. Which may partly explain why he seems to have run a mile!

922 Name: Anon. : 2015-08-25 17:01 ID:tV4U1BfJ

>>912 I would agree with JA - that was a slow burn of a relationship (probably not straight BF/GF, but something more like FWB/FB). Still, it seemed to last for more than a year (pre-Wimbledon '13 - BoraBora '14). After that, zilch on the radar for JA, except for conspiracy theorists.

I've got no idea about Sian. I've not gone back into message boards to suss out that relationship.

Maybe EO will be a trans-Atlantic version of JA: whenever they are near, they meet up and 'benefit' each other as friends. I would say long-distant FWB isn't a perfect solution, but for a man who so focused on work, it may be better than nothing.

923 Name: Couch Potato : 2015-08-25 17:05 ID:Heaven

>>919 If he were in on it then this past month makes no sense. If you are going to use your relationship for PR you don't go under radio silence, besides it's not like he was coming off with a good image, I would hardly pay my PR agent to make me look like a homewrecker that took advantage of a young, up and coming actress.

>>921 that's why he was at the gym!

924 Name: Couch Potato : 2015-08-25 17:14 ID:Heaven

>>922 He was away for half of that year so make it 6 months, during which he spent 3 busy with Coriolanus. Sian, I wasn't around either, what I gathered is that in 2012 she was with him very often, private screenings, restaurants, premières, tennis tournament, tweets to each other, then zilch on the radar too. Which I always found strange if she was just a friend like everyone says.

925 Name: Couch Potato : 2015-08-25 17:28 ID:Heaven

>>922 forgot to add, that I do think Sian was a friend, but the only reason I can think of for her "disappearance" is that maybe she wanted more because otherwise, as a just friend, what she could possibly have done?

926 Name: Anon. : 2015-08-25 17:32 ID:tV4U1BfJ

>>915 Yeah, when it comes to kpopstarz or kpopnews, the K stands for crap.

Their articles seem to be cobbled together from internet sites, including message boards. They once quoted 'a source' from Celebitchy.

That, and they're very much like the DM in that they use question marks WAY too often to be taken seriously.

927 Name: Anon. : 2015-08-25 17:57 ID:tV4U1BfJ

>>923 It makes no sense if the articles were planted for a purely PR relationship, correct. But if they wanted to introduce their real relationship AND put out a timeline that ruled out an 'affair' while she was engaged and ruled out a relationship that caused the end of her engagement, then planting those stories seems reasonable. It's the: Yeah, we're trying to have a relationship, but we need to manage the timeline' theory.

Planting the stories in May (broken engagement reported in Jan.) and then having date night (Pap Night '15!) in July with a follow up article are both meant to steer people away from thinking he's a homewrecker.

As for taking advantage - TH can barely take advantage of a 2-for-1 deal at his local market. This isn't some Svengali were taking about. And, besides, EO is 26, she's been in the business for a while - let's not infantilize her, even though her behavior on Pap Night did clock in at the 7-11 range!

928 Name: Anon. : 2015-08-25 17:57 ID:tV4U1BfJ

>>921 The boy can run - literally and figuratively it seems!

929 Name: Anon. : 2015-08-25 18:09 ID:tV4U1BfJ

>>914 If I were JA, I wouldn't need a pep talk about survival, I'd need a lesson in how to stop cackling about TH and EO.

Let's be honest, if there were a scoreboard, JA would top EO - easy.

JA: Year long relationship (of some sort), Wimbledon day out (no need to hold purse in front of face), Bora Bora trip, close by for mutually beneficial activities.

EO: 6 months - most of them off than on, a few trips to the local cafe, the Elephant Man (I saw it on Broadway - okay, but not Bora Bora!), silent ride in cab, lives 5,000+ miles away)

931 Name: lex : 2015-08-25 18:24 ID:5TvSHW1J

>>927 Despite all logic you still think they are dating? Or its just to make some people angry lol?

To be honest things you just say don't make sense. because whatever theh do he still looks like a homewrecker. and you know... man in love doesn't act like he acted. so NO, THEY ARENT A COUPLE.

932 Name: Anon : 2015-08-25 18:27 ID:MFs9uVGi

>>927 First article I am totally with you. Second article in my view may have been part of a previously agreed strategy, but in its execution looks to include some wish fulfilment from her side that he may not have been expecting. Same with the Pap Stroll. May have sounded like a good idea in advance but he looked thoroughly hacked off when it happened. I think it is because he is neither fish nor fowl here. Most British actors don't engage at all (you would never catch eg McAvoy or Lewis playing such games), whereas the Americans take it as read it is part of the game. TH tries to do it American style but does it badly. Engage, mess up, step back is a familiar routine for him (not just re love life).

933 Name: Couch Potato : 2015-08-25 18:27 ID:Heaven

'Same with the Pap Stroll. May have sounded like a good idea in advance but he looked thoroughly hacked off when it happened.' Agreed! I don't think she played along as was expected...why, who knows, especially if she had agreed to it, maybe even spearheaded it.

937 Name: anonsy : 2015-08-25 21:40 ID:P/Scdi4r

>>936 Something about Pap Night caught Tom off guard. He seemed pissed, and I think her strange behavior was in response to him being angry or not reacting in the way she was hoping.

>>932 'TH tries to do it American style but does it badly. Engage, mess up, step back is a familiar routine for him (not just re love life).'

Truth-to-power! It's like TH and Luke are going through the steps of some American PR manual.

  1. Do ALL the social media, ALL the time (McAvoy, Fassbender, Ejiofor, Redmayne - none have twitter, that I know of).
  2. Dance like a monkey when the organ grinder plays.
  3. Find a cause and support it - very publicly! (It's great that he supports UNICEF, but it's so telling that Luke went on that trip. And so telling that EW does the same thing.)
  4. And now this relationship that has a distinct PR flavor - maybe with others mixed in.

And the 'step back' was Seneca and THE WORK.

I don't know what you do in real life, Anon - besides travel to China to experience youku vids - but you should have Luke's job. And sort out TH's personal life while you're at it.

939 Name: Anon. : 2015-08-25 21:55 ID:tV4U1BfJ

>>937 The tweets from the theatre said they were 'cozy.' The definition of which really depends on the speaker, but still denotes some affection - even just friendly affection.

So what happened at dinner? Did she try to eat some of his dessert? That is NOT done, sweetheart.

Maybe everything was fine until the paps showed up? Maybe she called them and that was a deal breaker for him.

943 Name: Anon : 2015-08-26 05:51 ID:MFs9uVGi

>>938 THISTHISTHIS is exactly what I meant. Happens ALL the time and not just recently with Seneca:

  1. Acquire Twitter account. Drunk tweet on New Year's Eve and share contents of iPod. Acquire 2.3m followers who all tweet asinine things like "Tom I luuuuuurve yoooooo. Marry meeeeee" on a daily basis (ok maybe that was just me). Hide in corner for 4 months and don't tweet at all.
  2. Take new GF to Wimbledon. Follow her on Twitter (not for long!). Act surprised when people notice these 2 facts. Pretend tumbleweeds blow through love life when in fact still doing her secretly for another 9 months.
  3. Pose for photos with every single person living in Germany/Northern Ireland while filming OLLA/HR. When filming ISTL hide in trailer whimpering "no precious, the flash. It hurts our eyes."
  4. Fail to wear underpants on any red carpet or platform event, ever. Act surprised when people notice schlong hangs down to knees. Secretly look at tumblr devoted to schlong. Wear only pair of underpants at ComicCon 2015.

944 Name: Anon : 2015-08-26 06:10 ID:MFs9uVGi

>>938 I'd love you to guess what I do!! I am back now - hurrah! Escape from the land where everyone smokes constantly and never opens a window. Not an easy place to be confined to an office.

TH it strikes me needs quite delicately managed PR because his fan base is unusual - being the darling of tumblr etc. IMO Luke does this very shitly, often on a reactive basis and seemingly leaving TH to do his own thing (badly). I thought PR was meant to be proactive. We could all do a better job!

948 Name: Couch Potato : 2015-08-26 08:58 ID:Heaven

It could also be that no PR was involved on either sides.

We were playing prediction game for TIFF, I simply wrote one I thought nobody would pick and added reasons that nobody would use.
I could have just as easily written "A months after Pap Night '15 with nothing happening it's clear that USWeekly exploited its previous exclusive with EO to make up a click-bait story about her and her co-star using the Oscar buzz around ISTL."

949 Name: Anon. : 2015-08-26 15:20 ID:tV4U1BfJ

>>948 I could agree with no PR if it had just been US Weekly and a few outlets picking up the pap pics from the restaurant.

What reeks of PR was the Just Jared exclusive - even outside of the DM getting an article up and video.

Just Jared is pretty much a PR conduit now. They - it hasn't been 'he' since around 2011 - only run 'pap' pictures with permission, and usually pre-planned permission.

However, the purpose of this stroll will remain fuzzy until one of us can mind meld with TH's brain, or with the flickering light bulb that exists in Luke's skull.

950 Name: Couch Potato : 2015-08-26 15:31 ID:Heaven

953 Name: Anon.. : 2015-08-26 16:22 ID:tV4U1BfJ

And as far as crazy conjecture goes - someone over at LSA joked about JA showing up with Clint Mansell for the HR premiere.

Now, THAT would be EPIC.

Don't get me wrong, I adore the boy, but if his chickens came home to roost like that - EO showing up to HR (maybe uninvited in a 26-year-old bunny boiler fashion!) and JA showed as well - I would damage some of my internal organs from laughing so damn hard.

TH gets out of limo, sees JA and EO

We interrupt our regularly scheduled perving to bring you an ISTL update from twitter.

The 35th Atlantic Film Festival:

'Featuring the newest and most anticipated films of the year, moviegoers will want to be first in line to see the ten films comprising the 2015 Rogers Special Presentations. Savour the sights and sounds of soon to be award-winning films:...I Saw the Light, the story of Hank Williams, played to perfection by Tom Hiddleston...'

Yeah, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Sept. 17-24 - what's with all the Canada?

We now return you to your regularly schedule perving...willy.

Worry about the weakness of award season offerings. Not sure if this is good or bad for TH and ISTL.

'Two American show business biographical dramas stir some interest: Jay Roach's Trumbo, in which Bryan Cranston portrays blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, and Marc Abraham's I Saw the Light, a look at Hank Williams (about which the least can be said is that, based on photographs, star Tom Hiddleston looks like a near-dead ringer for the late country singer).'

From the same article:

'It's well known within the industry that Stephen Frears' The Program, Terence Davies' Sunset Song and Ben Wheatley's High-Rise were turned down by Cannes, although the latter is one of a dozen films in Toronto's new competitive category, "Platform," seven of which are world premieres.'

I suppose Tom will be able to attend only couple of those festivals. I bet for Tiff and Maybe San Sebastian or Zurich. Skull Island starts shooting on 19th of October so I suppose he will be working.

my bet for RC is no interaction with Olsen, or simple friendly interaction. since they aren't a couple.

As an aside, I really like this quote from Ben Winshaw about actors and acting.. a gossip board devoted to a celebrated actor is probably not the best place to post it but..

"Whishaw prefers not to discuss his personal life, saying: "For me, it's important to keep a level of anonymity. As an actor, your job is to persuade people that you're someone else. So if you're constantly telling people about yourself, I think you're shooting yourself in the foot." In 2011, he told Out magazine: "As an actor you have total rights to privacy and mystery, whatever your sexuality, whatever you do. I don't see why that has to be something you discuss openly because you do something in the public eye. I have no understanding of why we turn actors into celebrities."

At the end of the day, the job of an actor is to convince you, the audience to suspend belief and "buy" the portrayal of whoever the actor is trying to convey. The performance should not be polluted by whatever is going on in the actors real life and world as then, you risk the illusion being destroyed.

I wonder if this is what Tom is trying to achieve when he refuses to indulge in the business of celebrity as of late (a high profile relationship goes against this). Does he want to be an actors actor or a movie star? Can you be both? Do I absolutely need to know every single detail about this man's life outside of the work he does (no, not really). Should I give two figs who he is intimate with if I care about his performances? (No)

Random serious thoughts for a Thursday morning - back to normal programming...

990 Name: Anon : 2015-08-27 12:33 ID:MFs9uVGi

>>989 I think he knows that Whishaw is right, because he has said in the past that he understands the interest in his personal life but basically won't say anything. And yet I think he also wants to be a movie star, and he knows that to be that you have to create the media buzz. And I think he enjoys the celebrity and at times hates what it brings. He wouldn't be half the star he is had he not danced for the crowds in S Korea.

991 Name: Anon : 2015-08-27 12:40 ID:MFs9uVGi

(Continued). I feel sure he enjoys performing and showing off a little and being adored. Who wouldn't? But then people perhaps don't take him as seriously as an actor, and his private life is subject to constant nosing. What choice do you make? It must be incredibly hard. Whishaw is respected as an actor but does he have as many career opportunities?

992 Name: anonymous : 2015-08-27 13:02 ID:YjwBZIFB

>>991

I just looked up his IMDB.. upcoming:

The Heart of the Sea (the Moby DIck retelling with Chris Hemsworth)
Spectre (James Bond/etc)
Suffragette
The Danish Girl

I think Ben's doing alright some how :)

I can certainly understand how seductive it must be to have people admiring and applauding you (imagine getting applauded by random strangers each time you did your job right at the end of each day - I would be delighted) and I can understand how this might be something you might court, if you had previously been a struggling actor competing for parts with hundreds of other actors.

At some point though, you have to decide whether the fame whoring is what you want out of your professional career or whether you are happier just popping out of the woodwork every odd year, performing your proverbial pants off and getting recognition from it from your peers and the public.

I don't know - I think that it is testimony to Tom's talent, that he did manage to make a compelling character from a cartoon character, as Loki. I just hope for the sake of the films to come, that instead of having kittens over who he might or might not have held hands with, we are instead more excited about his actual performances and work.

(and no, I am not Luke).

993 Name: Anon : 2015-08-27 13:27 ID:MFs9uVGi

I'll take your word on Whishaw - not really a fan. I wasn't sure that BW had quite the leading man status yet - maybe someone like Eddie Redmayne is a better comparison with TH as he has the lead roles and the Oscar. ER has certainly achieved the balance TH has not - introduces his girlfriend, walks her down the RC like a normal person, then announces his recent wedding - no paps.

I think whether we talk about TH roles in the future depends a lot on him. We only talk about his love life as much as we do because it is such a car crash. Imagine if he had smiled graciously at the paps on PGG and held her hand. Discussion largely over. Or (assuming there was no relationship) if he had like any normal person told EO to stop telling everyone they were together. Again discussion largely over.

994 Name: lex : 2015-08-27 13:29 ID:uazjO+7B

it depends whAt you Are interested in. for some he is just an actor, for some something more. it's the letter of where you put yourself- in an audience or in one row with him where actually things go different. you CSNT claim any of the party.

>>995 can you give a normal link to whatever it is? it doesn't open.

1000 Name: Couch Potato : 2015-08-27 14:02 ID:Heaven

>>992 I think he is genuine when he says that acting is his job, that he wants to keep a low profile - probably one of the reason he looked so pissed on PPG - that he is not interested in the circus of being a celebrity. And I also don't think there's anything wrong in dancing and the rest while you are promoting a film, since promotion is part of his job.

But I agree with Anon. We didn't ask him to have JA mentioned in interviews, nor did we ask him to see photos with her on holiday. Did we ask him to go to have a dinner to a known paps spot? No.
If you tell me that people scouting his neighbourhood, secretly taking photos or videos of him or starting a blog with super secret infos or starting a blog making up infos are crossing the line I agree. But you can't expect people not to comment on something about him that is in the news. And something posted on the internet, if you are a fan, is news.

Whishaw is private as is Redmayne, but I still know that the first got married to his bf and the second got engaged and married last year. But since I'm not a fan I don't talk about it.
