The posting of professional reviews from print and online sources is certainly welcome.

Personal thoughts on movies are also allowed, I'm sure.

However, please, be aware that some haven't seen the movie yet, so don't give away spoilers.

All I can say is that the movie was amazing. Worth of every moment and and in couple of moments I had to close my eyes, and I'm not so easily scared! People are surely scarrier then ghosts! Lucille took my heart. That's for sure. I was rather indifferent for Edith, she isn't my cup if tea, but Mia was ok. The ending made me cry and I sobbed all the way home. Very good ending. Very good.

Tom referred to Edith as a sign for young women that they can be strong and independent and don't nee man to save them. Well, i from my personal view, would disagree. Edith only proved what I thought for a long time, that women can become strong and save themselves only when there is no help from aside. She saved herself because there was no one to save her. We may be strong and courageous but it's not because we want to, but because life makes us to. We become strong because we have no choice.

Amazing movie again. Totally will go and see it again.

>>89 I thought it was the photographer/s making the cast laugh because you see even TH looking ahead and laughing - And contrary to what CB posters say, EO wasn't putting her left hand on Tom's but on her right hand, you can clearly see her right arm wrapped around Abraham left arm.

>>91 tomorrow there'll be more, but it looks quite funny.

>>96 it was hilarious, because you could tell all her activity will end up in disaster but she went on and did it anyway. An adult woman, with her kind of job, wanting her name thrashed on the internet, a real show. Google Jane Arthy, among the first results you get her own tumblr tag.

>>113 I enjoyed it, and have found myself disagreeing with many of the reviews I've read. The BBC review >>114 Anon shared, for example, said a few things were irrelevant to the plot of the film that I thought were either completely necessary or at least added to the story and my understanding of the characters.

My only gripe is that if I had gone in expecting a full blown horror film I would have been disappointed. Because I had seen a few interviews where GDT and the cast emphasized the "Gothic Romance" aspect, I had a better idea of what it was going to be, but I think a lot of the trailers made it seem like there would be a lot of BOO! moments that just weren't there. This is really more a complaint about the advertising than the movie itself.

TH, JC and MW were on Charlie Rose tonight. There are a few teaser vids up on the CR youtube channel. They should post the whole interview soon - that is their policy in general.

Hopefully, Hiddlestoners were not mentioned. Loki may have been - CR tries to be pop-cultural like that on occasion.

The whole interview with Charlie Rose. MW gets in about 25 words. CR doesn't butcher MW's names, but he comes close. And CR also calls it Crimson Park...worst park EVER!

>>121 I saw Crimson Park today. Much better than the bad reviews would have one believe, though the plot was a trifle clunky. I could have guessed the main plot twist even without all the hints that were dropped by GdT. So I think could anyone who has read a few gothic novels.

It was pretty gory - so god knows about all those people saying "not enough of a horror movie".

I do however wish they hadn't released so much in trailers and clips. I realised as I was watching that I had seen parts of every major scene, bar the 2 that said in words of one syllable what was going on. That was a pity partly in spoiler-y terms but also because you like to feel you haven't seen the whole movie. For example it would have been nice to watch that beautifully acted scene with the automaton for the first time as part of the film. One other major consequence was that the ghosts were pretty unterrifying, in a kind of oh hello again way.

124 Name: qaz : 2015-10-22 18:21 ID:tY18OJ3i

I saw CP today too. I really wanted to like it, but... Well, don't get me wrong, it wasn't terrible, and I agree that it was probably better than the reviews said. Still, I felt kind of underwhelmed throughout the movie. I dragged a friend along (she's not a fan of TH, or of any other actor in CP, for that matter) and she got bored halfway through. I, of course, had the disadvantage of seeing the trailers and reading a couple of reviews, so sort of spoilered myself and take a part of the blame - maybe I would have liked it better if I haven't.

Those CGI ghosts were really ridiculous. After the movie my friend asked me if I understood why they looked the way they looked (I won't be specific to avoid spoilers if anyone hasn't seen the movie yet). You see, she kept waiting for the explanation of that in the plot and got none. All I could do is shrug my shoulders and say that the creators probably thought that they would be cooler or scarier that way :)

On the bright side - the visuals were beautiful. I loved the spooky deteriorating mansion, very atmospheric. TH was pretty.

125 Name: qaz : 2015-10-22 18:33 ID:tY18OJ3i

Oh, and a lot of people said that Mia was the blandest - I disagree, she seemed quite OK to me, considering that no one has delivered a noteworthy performance in that movie, TH included.

126 Name: Anon : 2015-10-22 19:25 ID:tB216AlG

>>124 does one need an explanation about why they look that way? I didn't see any spoilers explaining it but I kind of guessed from the story.

127 Name: Anon : 2015-10-22 19:30 ID:tB216AlG

>>124 I also thought the first sex scene was ridiculous in the context of where it wa meant to be in their relationship. And in the second one GDT bottled it. He should have been naked in that one.

Who hasn't seen it yet?

128 Name: qaz : 2015-10-22 19:52 ID:tY18OJ3i

>>126 OK, spoilers (minor).
She meant why most of them looked like half-decomposing, skinless, blood-dripping skeletons, more zombies than ghosts. I guess, she waited the story to explain that something REALLY GORY and terrible happened to them, not just "simple" killing. NB: She didn't see the trailer, hasn't watched any interviews or read reviews, so hasn't heard anything about "gothic romance, not horror", etc. The story just didn't seem very consistent to her, probably.
But actually, it's a minor detail, I just mentioned it because I also thought the ghosts were a bit cartoonish ant not scary. I think the movie would have benefited from something more subtle.

>>127 I won't dispute that :)

129 Name: anonsy : 2015-10-22 19:58 ID:X+vgMkyf

I thought the ghosts looked that way because of (SPOILER) where their bodies were buried. I'd be more specific but I don't want to accidentally ruin anything for anyone who hasn't seen it.

130 Name: Anon : 2015-10-22 20:11 ID:tB216AlG

>>129 I initially thought the same. But the vision generally seemed to be that when you cark it your ghost gradually goes skeleton (cf very end). There was another detail about one of the ghosts which made sense. Again saying no more due to spoilers.

131 Name: Anon. : 2015-10-22 21:35 ID:DUsp8Y9N

>>127

I haven't...but I'm okay with spoilers. I sometimes figure out plot lines halfway through movies. A quote from me to a friend the first time I saw The Sixth Sense in the theatre: 'So if the kid can see dead people, is Bruce Willis dead?' The kid said he could see dead people, I took him at his word!

And as you said, the trailers themselves have spoiled more than any postings. I've stayed away from Tumblr because I don't want to see the scenes themselves.

I didn't post because I didn't 1) want anyone who lurks here to repost elsewhere and 2) for those twitter uses to be hit with the now obligatory Spanish Inquisition - Was it his wedding? Was he with a blonde? Was EO in a wedding dress? Did EO catch the bouquet?

On a more distant prospect...having just watched the latest HIGNFY episode with Michael Sheen, does anyone else hope that TH might take a turn in the host's chair?

With the TNM coming up, it might be a nice promotional crossover. HIGNFY is consistently high in quality, and while I'm sure some Loki jokes would sneak in, it would be less cringey than some other appearances.

Also, it would be particularly pleasurable to see TH demonstrate some snark - as some hosts are required to do when delivering lines.

And EO could be a guest...just kidding!!!

This is an interview for an Italian mag, the few things that were somehwat interesting - it's not a word for word translation.

  • he is aware the butt scene will make his fans happy, he calls it a collateral effect, but he did it because the script asked for it.
  • on CP set GdT had a ban on using smartphones, if you were caught it was a 5$ fine. TH was caught twice, 10$. With the money collected, at the weekend they'd do a lottery and the winner offered drinks.
  • he likes Italians and has a strong bond with Italy. His first visit was in Firenze when he was 16. Then at 18 and 20 with his gf and later at 25 in Siena where for Unrelated. He likes to walk through Rome and was happy to find a pizzeria he knew when he went for a walk the night before the promo for CP and it was emotional to pass by the Campidoglio for the first time after playing Coriolanus.

>>167 I'll admit to being nannyish - not toward TH - but towards the twitter users that post sightings.

I remember that one user who posted about seeing him post-PGG was bombarded with all sorts of questions about EO, what he was wearing, where she was located, could she get a pic, etc. After an hour, she'd made her account private - and rightly so.1

If I find anything, I'll post a full summary (whatever that means for 140 characters!), but I might not link to the person.

One poster said that he was wearing a 'wedding suit' in the City. I took that to mean morning suit. Another said that she say him near St. Paul's and that he didn't want to take a pic, as it was a private wedding, but that he did have a chat with her and her group.

I wonder if this was ISTL promo which was set before the date was pushed back. Could be HR as well.

It will be interesting to see what movie he is focusing on, if any.

>>172 I saw a number of obsessive comments to Twitter users who saw him at the theatre, at service station on M1 etc.

I have to say if I did see him I wouldn't tweet it. Twitter has really chipped away at any privacy celebs have now. Some of my acquaintance, whom I otherwise consider relatively moderate, are surprisingly militant about this ("if he didn't mind being photographed he wouldn't take the Tube, he can afford a taxi" etc). I really don't think that being famous means you have signed up for creep shots tracking your every move across London. Long may he continue to be able to use the tube, walk out for a coffee etc without being photographed or tweeted everywhere he goes. I hope the lack of Heathrow tweets means he was able to leave the country unnoticed.

Sorry for multiple posts. Butterfly mind unable to concentrate today. Anon., have you seen CP yet?

>>174

I feel like this might be another reason why he's backed off using twitter himself. Some of his tweets located him and his actions/movements just as much as pics and tweets from other people.

Yeah, people's arguments regarding celebs and their rights to privacy are always a little off: 'if he didn't want to be photographed, he'd just never breathe air outside of his house!!' Okay, reasonable logic there.

And we all know - too well - that taking a taxi doesn't guarantee that he won't be photographed!

Even better:

Host: 'Tom Hiddleston is here to talk about a guaranteed to be a piece of crap movie, ISTL, AND a highly likely to be a piece of crap movie, Kong: Skull Island. Tom, which turd did you want to shine first?'

TH: Can we talk about Hiddlestoners?

I haven't!! I was meant to go Friday, but was too ill (I didn't want to be that person - the one that coughs all the way through a movie!). On Saturday, I went to watch the rugby and was too tipsy (read: drunk on beer and Nyquil) to do a movie justice afterward, and I was also afraid the beer/Nyquil chaser would cause me to shout out inappropriate things during the sex scene.

So, Sunday was meant to be the night, but the boy bailed on me (he got called into an emergency shift), and I didn't go - because 'one for CP, please' translates - in my mind - to 'I'm a Hiddlestoner and I once bought a lock of TH's hair on eBay' and I'm not ready for that.

So, this Friday is the day.

>>180 My boy refused point blank (doesn't like horror movies - and forget all that GDT bleating about it "really" being gothic romance, he knows it was a horror movie with literary pretensions). I bunked off work and sat alone in the IMAX surrounded, slightly oddly, by lone males wearing white socks and heavy metal t shirts - not the demographic I was anticipating. About 20 of us in all. It was glorious, like owning a very, very large tv. It has totally bombed at the box office.

>>172 The interwebs is a strange, strange place indeed. Tbh, I was very relieved once the NW3 person mysteriously stopped posting. The daily updates on whether or not the man was outside his front door was very unsettling and undoubtedly fed into ("well-intentioned") stalker central aka as the cafe crowd.

(seriously - all you have to do to find the "fans" is to see who is following his neighbourhood tea shop on twitter).

On serious matters: I did see CP last week and eh.. I dunno ... the costumes and sets just gorgeous (I so hope that they are recognised professionally) but almost all of the "scary" moments were spoilt in the trailers AND it was just plain old weird seeing Tom as the sweet ingenue. Jessica was amazing and MIa seemed to be playing two different characters tbh (i rather liked independent typewriter toting Edith more than the other one).

I will probably go to hell for this, but I actually preferred ALLO and even Tom's performance (ahem) in High-Rise, to CP..

>>179 Will skull island still be seen as crap when (presumably) Oscar nominated/winner Brie Larson is attached to it?

ISTL seems to be on a weird PR trajectory of its own at this stage.

And .. what next after Thor? Given that Kenneth Branagh has his own theatre company, it would seem that another tread on the boards is almost inevitable.

184 Name: Anon : 2015-10-26 22:13 ID:++CFJS2I

>>183 Who knows - but with so many rewrites, delays and personnel changes it will remain, to me, Shit Island until it comes out! I do at this point slightly question his eye for a great script. For example everything I have read about ISTL (episodic series of unexplained vignettes from the life of) suggests that it is not just poor direction that has sunk it. And the plot of CP is not a great surprise. So is SI going to be better? I hope so but I am not taking his word for it.

185 Name: anonymous : 2015-10-26 22:35 ID:FFmbYiBL

>>184 Well, there is also the possibility that he just takes whatever script / film he is offered. I am not sure that he is at that position where he isn't competing with others higher on the Hollywood food chain than himself for the choice parts.

I do think though, that he was trying to extend his range/challenge himself and avoid the typecasting associated with Loki (why oh why didn't they just let him keep his bouncy golden locks in CP?) - kudos to him.

I also do think that in terms of prestige/iconic performances, he would never turn down an opportunity to be in the Bond franchise ... look at the effect on Daniel Craig's profile pre and post Bond.

Two words - Jupiter Ascending. ER and his buddy Oscar couldn't save that one. Hopefully, K:SI won't be that bad!

By all accounts, BL is going to get an AA nom. She may win it - she and the movie have received nothing but the highest praise. Still, if K:SI is a whole heap of rubbish, her name won't keep it from being a box office/critical flop, I don't think

187 Name: anonymous : 2015-10-27 00:37 ID:FFmbYiBL

Hmm fair enough (I lasted about 10 minutes into the Jupiter film, Eddie or not) but I thought that it was made before ER had the accolates..

anyway, here's hoping that Brie has the confidence and acting chops, together with Tom, to make something out of a seemingly trite script. I saw "Me, Earl and the Dying Girl" too recently and thought that Thomas Mann was terrific, so ... fingers and toes crossed for something not awful to watch.

188 Name: anonymous : 2015-10-27 00:38 ID:FFmbYiBL

eh I meant accolades though probably acolytes too by then.

An interesting tidbit re: ISTL and when TH came aboard.

I watched a video of MA and Dante Spinotti from the Middleburg FF. MA was talking about when he and TH had dinner and MA offered the role to TH. According to MA, it was at some point after War Horse and he offered it to TH on the spot - explaining that he didn't have a green light with money and he wasn't sure when it would be made, but that it would be made. MA said TH agreed to come aboard at that dinner.

I wonder if TH agreed, on a handshake and without looking at a script, because haunted, tragic genius has often = OSCAR in recent history. And because TH sometimes gets so excited that he puts the cart before the horse.

I think actors sometimes think their talents can overcome a dodgy script even though a script is the foundation of a movie.

>>187

I think TNM is going to be our first 'something not awful to watch.'

I'm looking forward to Bond-light from TH. After that, I'm praying HR gets US distribution.

>>183

I could get behind a stage run - as long as the stage door doesn't go the way of Corio. Ugh, the poor man, the poor security team. I would like to think that he'd appreciate a second Olivier more than an Oscar.

I wonder if he's even considering Richard II with James Ivory. Ivory seems keen.

And, fingers crossed that he'll have a role in Kong v. Godzilla! (Breaks sarcasm button.)

191 Name: anonymous : 2015-10-27 01:40 ID:FFmbYiBL

>>189 That is fascinating indeed - I have to say that in terms of appearance, he does really resemble Hank, so perhaps that was what Marc Abrahams was also considering.

192 Name: anonymous : 2015-10-27 01:43 ID:FFmbYiBL

>>190

HR is a very very very niche market and most certainly won't be playing at your average US multiplex (imho) so lets see. Perhaps Netflix or whoever will pick it up instead, though I don't really know how the business works tbh.

I had totally forgotten Richard II - James Ivory is still listing him as being on board, isn't he? I guess that there must be a dozen or so projects floating around in development cough Robert the Bruce cough though I hope that he stays away from too many period pieces.

193 Name: Anon : 2015-10-27 06:52 ID:++CFJS2I

>>189 That tidbit makes a lot of things fall into place. No script, plus TH much less well known at that time (far from being the star of WH), flattered by the attention of someone wanting him for a lead, and the lead having OSCAR written all over it.

He then also had the year of drought (2013) with no projects so he was hardly going to turn down work in 2014 (and we see the result of all that work being released now).

>>185 '(why oh why didn't they just let him keep his bouncy golden locks in CP?)'

Because it's a gothic romance, and that is iconically about a talk, dark, handsome stranger with a past. Thematically, the 'dark' bit is important. That's why Chastain had a black wig too.

>>193
It's not true to say that he had no projects in 2013. He had Coriolanus, which he was preparing for from at least the summer onwards and opened in early December, and Thor: The Dark World (principle photography happened at the end of 2012, but a lot of Loki's bits in the final film were from re-shoots in 2013). He obvously had promotional duties for Thor fall in the middle of what would have been Coriolanus rehearsal period, so they started rehearsing ealier than usual, then had about a month off for him to promote his film, then went straight back into rehearsal. That accounts for about half of his 2013!

Films can be bubbling under for a long time before coming to fruition - it's also quite likely that he was taking meetings back in 2013 for ISTL and High Rise, since he was involved with those before the financing came together.

I'm willing to bet the first half of this year, when it looked like he wasn't working, was actually filled with meetings about projects that we won't be hearing about until next year.

198 Name: Anon : 2015-10-27 11:21 ID:++CFJS2I

>>197 Yes, it bombed. And yes, even if he was rehearsing and doing reshoots for Thor 2, he had a quiet 2013. That's why he was available for all that promotional work for OLLA and Thor. A lot of people (not just me) remarked that he would have turned up to the opening of an envelope in 2013, because really not very busy.

>>195 He seemed slightly gray as a character- nothing sinister stuck me whatsoever as opposed to the icy visage of Lucille. I am trying to remember who I was thinking of in a similar role and I immediately thought of Allesandro Nivola's characterisation in Mansfield Park http :/ /www.imdb.com/title/tt0178737/

You know, it's not actually normal for actors to have back-to-back filming scheduled all year, every year. They do need some time off - some actual recuperation time, and time off to find their next project. It's the way the business works. A major blockbuster release and a major Shakespearean lead role in a year would be considered plenty of work by most actors.

Most of his Marvel co-stars have had a very similar work rhythm. Those big Marvel films are hard work, most of them take some time off after filming/promoting them.

I mean, he is a bit of a workaholic, like Cumberbatch, but after the stretch of work he had in 2011 and through 2012, he really did need some time off in early 2013. He did the same thing this year - basically took the first 3 months off (apart from meetings I am sure he was taking to line up future projects) to recover from making 3 films back-to-back.
