Thread to talk about the actor Tom Hiddleston
>>800 I get the impression that she is tumblr's lilacflowers. She mostly has a vested interest in showing that she is more clever than anyone else, bossing everybody about as to what to think, and trying to show she doesn't follow the herd.
>>801 'Awshucks, I'm just different, I'm an outsider, I'm special, and brilliant. People should listen to me, take notes and follow after me.'
Bet she has a lot of non-tumblr friends. Does she even have tumblr friends?
Who's lilacflowers? Is that Crazy Question girl?
>>799 Thank you. This may be my route. It will be easier to read about any madness than watch it - live or taped.
>>802 No, lilacflowers is Celebitchy's veranda woman. She is the one who screamed "they said they weren't dating so THEY'RE NOT DATING, OK" a lot about THEO. She is slowly unraveling now that he has an acknowledged GF: on the one hand she wants to stick the knife into TS, but on the other she knows that doesn't jive with her "I stand above it all" persona. She is tying herself in knots so that TH isn't complicit in any pap strolls. No. The paps would give their collective right testicle for these shots so they follow them everywhere.
>>803 Veranda woman!! For the short time I read CB, that woman and her damn veranda tap danced on my last nerve every.single.day. She thought she was being cute and the welcoming doyenne of the site but was in fact no more than an annoyance to be ignored and scrolled past.
Eye roll. Yes, let's blame the paps so Tayto are allowed to remain clean and innocent babes caught in the vicious net of the media.
Happy relaxed body language everyone! https://www.instagram.com/p/BINryo_A3Pn/
>>805 Oh my. Maybe JVR showed him those tweets he's been favoriting about Taylor stealing other people's work.
>>805 Shit. The classic defensive pose. I will not feel sorry for him. I WILL NOT.
Caption for both of them: "Imma set fire to that stupid beard."
>>756>>779>>781>>787>>788 To sum it all up, now that the HF company has come to light, I think it is a relationship of multiple conveniences, including sex (in whatever form and frequency that takes), and then, between continent hopping, became too caught up her glow to notice the scope of her drama, even though he was part of it and could not stop long enough to look at the blow-by-blow out there on the internet. Even if friends were emailing summaries with long pleas to step back, when was he going to take the time to read it before he got to Australia and had a free moment on the set?
I think the trip back to LA and the agent visit was his fall back to Earth, and he's currently contemplating his seemingly ride-or-die status with her.
My captcha? wow
Wait, that didn't work. My new captcha is 'naw'
New shirt? A gift? A be brave my little soldier gift?
>>805 Whoa. No chill whatsoever, Tom. How I'd like to be in his mind right now.
>>803 Her and the new poster that's clearly a Swifty, KC, both get on my nerves. Veranda lady is literally sitting there pretending to be above it all but you can hear her eye twitching as she types out her "yawn" or "you're doing that sense thing again" I did enjoy how one poster interrupted KC's continuous apologist fawning to tell her TayTo can't be both decent and calculating at once and boy did she start a long winded fluttering and sputtering which was again smacked down by the same poster.
>>805 You know he's just chanting in his head, "She didn't do anything wrong. Taylor Swift said she loves me, okay? Taylor Swift does not lie. She cannot lie."
The style is very new. New shirt, new shoes - intended to disassociate? No dark shirt...not jacket...no grey shoes.
Captcha: lube
>>811 the white polo shirt (henley)? But it is so crumpled. One thing about her, she always looks neat and tidy and like she cares for her things.
This is what the shirt means:
"Look, everyone! I'm doing Nerd HQ wearing a white button down shirt! It's 2013 again and you all still love me!"
Will he smile? Do you think he's so tightly wound that he won't let himself enjoy it at all? No smiles, no laughs, nada.
>>814 Shoes I think are not new. A relic of "styled by yours truly." I suspect he had to buy the shoes because he could hardly return them after a few wears, unlike the clothes. I think they are the Louboutins. I had fun at the time imagining him screaming "$900? For a pair of shoes???"
>>815 Oh you're right, it's not a full button down. I didn't look closely enough.
I did notice the wrinkles though. Does he just ball up all his clothing and shove it in his backpack?
>>818 Yes, I should have said 'different' than what we've seen the past few weeks.
I've had gin. It helps.
Is it a white linen henley?
Comment of the year on tumblr: "I am hoping that that guy will be there again and he will shout "My wife doesn't love you any more"."
Someone pointed out he's wearing the same outfit was NerdHQ in 2013 (different colored shoes, but essentially the same:

Looks like the gray shirt from one of the promotional tour interviews. I forget which one. They're all a blur.
(Captcha is "ape." At least robots are excited about Skull Island.)
Just in time.
I drank all the shots in advance and then some.
'Do you want a shot of home made absinthe' is not a phrase I should embrace.
Just a heads up that my narrative and spelling will be flawed from this point on.
That white henley is hideous. Eseecially TUCKED IN
This is the shirt I was remembering. Looks too dark to be the same one he's wearing today.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BFCOG7qOr_g/
>>830 I think it's the light. It looks almost white in some pics. It's the same one though - good spot! And the reason it looks so crumpled is because it is a cheap version he picked up after the publicity tour instead of keeping the £1000 cashmere one.
On an unrelated note, John Goodman looks great in these pics! He has lost a lot of weight and he looks 10 years younger! http://the-haven-of-fiction.tumblr.com/post/147857752803/hiddlestonredalert-yahoomovies-had-a-blast
From Yahoo Movies, a better look at that Henley

>>832 Alcomohol is seeping through my veins currently.
That white shirt that burns my retinas is not winning. If it was not tucked in and less reminiscent of the time my father and dog were struck by lightening I would be much more forgiving.
There is nothing designer about this shirt, if it has feelings, it feels regret.
Kong panel is starting.

>>838 The trailer is heavily concentrating on SLJ and John Goodman. It doesn't make Tom look like the leading man in this. Him and Brie seem like the side love story.

Questions from the crowd - squeaky bum time, a little more pensive.
And they're done! He'll relax now, maybe, as Luke will puppet master the interviews with journalists. I'm sure there won't be any personal questions.
>>845 NerdHQ is still the wildcard here. I wonder if Zachary Levi will give a "no personal questions" order, or if they'll give Tom special treatment and screen the questions ahead of time just this once.
Ouch!
https://twitter . com/kylebuchanan/status/756944161576738821
>>847 Yeah, I think journalists and insiders will be a little more reluctant than fans to let him forget about the manipulation and media games in which he's indulged over the past month.
Have we seen this yet?
The nominees are referred to as:
AND...
Ouch again.
>>847 God the stans are outraged. Get over yourselves. All he is at the moment is tabloid fodder, and soon to be unemployed tabloid fodder at that.
What will he do if he has no project lined up by Xmas? Go on tour with TayTay?

TH needed to hand out a TS single to everyone! Come on girl, help your boy out!
>>850 Maybe he's got projects he can't talk about yet. Maybe.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BIN9eNYjrm-/ So relieved.

Brie's thinking, 'I better not get caught in your crossfire, fucker.' TS won't like the casual arm on the back of Brie's chair...it's almost like he's touching her!!
>>858 In Tay-land that's basically full-blown cheating.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BIN-0UKgUpL From a manners perspective, a woman should be given a seat in a less crowded space. But JH needed to be next to his man, and TH probs wanted to be next to JH.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BIN-xrKABe9 Haven't watched. Kinda can't watch.
>>860 Side note, those are definitely not new shoes.

Michael K broke his weekend moratorium to talk about the Wonder Woman trailer:
I am not a superhero nerd at all, but Lynda Carter as WW was one of my glamour icons as a child, so this trailer made me feel this weird thing called emotion and it warmed the blackened ice orb I call a heart. I had to go and look at a picture of Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston to feel cold and bitter again.

>>857 My research tells me Kyle hates Taylor's songs. Receipt - review cited in the wiki entry for her song "Mean" - http://www.vulture.com/2011/05/taylor_swift_mean_video.html
On the other side, he seems to be okay with Tom but is snarky about all the fan love he gets at cons and festivals. Receipt - http://www.vulture.com/2014/07/crimson-peak-tom-hiddleston-comic-con.html
On to the Nerd HQ special session with Zac Levi - only 25 minutes long, he proves he's still a dork and can't operate a door: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qeu92u3rLTs
Unless something else happens, this will be my last one for the night and I'll look forward to your comments in the morning. Twitter user taylorsnextsong has been having an epic meltdown all day over his presence and warm reception at SDCC. One tweet is really weird though - this autographed picture :
https://twitter
.com/taylorsnextsong/status/757030412522840064
I watched the trailer: unless the critics slash it, I'll be watching only for SLJ.
I watched a few videos of TH, it made me want to punch his face.
The cast of ‘Kong: Skull Island’, stops by the Fandango Studio at #SDCC to talk to hosts Kristian Harloff & Nikki Novak about their upcoming film.

MTV interview with JH, maybe I'm seeing things that are not there, but he seemed to be out of synch with the rest of the guys.
NerdHQ:
At the end of the day I only guessed half of it, she went with him but only as far as LA.
Does she go back with him to Oz or not? I think she does.
>>874 I found it strangely underpowered. Questions were very dull. The first NerdHQ was anarchic and fun - in a good way. This time I felt almost like the audience was as stressed as he was about the prospect of someone screaming "whattabout TayTay?" All very respectful and anxious and with endless "thank you for coming (when we all thought you were going to bail out because really, who wouldn't)" questions.
>>871 I was surprised it was as good as it was (for a trailer). Going for SLJ is a good idea.
>>873 He was quieter than usual - he usually dominates an ensemble interview but not today. Maybe you were sensing tension with JVR over the tweets about TS? Still it wasn't as bad as that weird phone call after the Emmy nom.
>>874 I skipped through it because it did seem boring. Zach threw him a softball, but at least Zach is easy on the eyes. It was the end of a long day for Tom - there were a ton of interviews in between the Hall H panel and the interview with Zach, including the autograph signing right before that. 7 -8 hours straight, though he's used to it. Zach probably threw mercy on him by cutting it in half.
In the end, he was in his element and was happily received all day. Jury's still out on that weird autograph.
Who posted in thread #10 about the psychic on YT? They posted another one - start at 10:55 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1idgTn2XNnM
-he'll stay until he finds out about Bond - either way
-puts on tinfoil hat and covers TS rumors
>>877 Did the psychic comment on whether TS will return to Australia with Tom?!!
I am going to say no, more out of hope than expectation. Maybe now he has seen freedom!
>>876 I think you are right, I read Levi before the panel said no personal questions (I don't know if specifically before TH's panel or in general).
>>877 Yeah, I skipped through as well. Zach is easy on the eye and has a nice sense of humour.
>>877,878 I bet instead he is convinced that since the reception at SDCC was so good, TS is no problem at all and he'll be able to win back the Guardian, Telegraph, Evening Standard NYT and all the rest. We'll know soon enough.
While SDCC was happening, TS went to the gym again
http://tswiftdaily.com/post/147857825031
>>878 No comment specifically about them returning to Australia together - the psychic just said they will 'be together' for up to 4-5 months and he will call it quits when the word comes around about Bond, regardless of whether he gets it or not. She called this 'his sacrifice' - like she was referring to this as a contract while he gains attention in the media, and when doesn't need it anymore he's leaving.
>>881 ALLEGEDLY.
Meanwhile her sidekick thinks TH has fallen for TS a little bit, but she hasn't for him.

Best part of the panel at the end when they get asked what they watch on Netflix
"the photo-sharing site Instagram has quietly handed the American singer a unique “tool” that enables her to remove only negative or abusive comments made in response to images she has posted."

“Tom is on another planet to his girlfriend, to such an extent that she’s having to teach him a whole new slang language, how to text in shorthand and how to be cool. It is hilarious because he has been showing everyone on set what he has learnt.”

I don't knwo what's the reputation of this website, but this is sadder than the dad dancing and probably an embarrassment to watch. But it explains the use of emojis of a sudden.
>>886 The Exprss is a less successful version of the Mail.
However this has a horrible ring of plausibility: him being obsessed and her being hysterical. Good spot on linking this to the sudden use of emojis.
do not read this while drinking
do read this if you had a drink
"I don't know, it comes down to being authentic," he says. "Everything you do you have to make sure you truly believe in it and as long as you know that, it doesn't matter what anyone else says about it because the nature of being a public figure is that everyone will have an opinion about anything you do, and as long as you know why you’ve done something and you've committed to it with authenticity then you're okay."
http://www.people.com/article/tom-hiddleston-taylor-swift-interview-comic-con
A simple "I love her" would have been shorter and more authentic
>>887 Yes, I thought that was the one thing that looked totally plausible.
>>888 I just rolled my eyes so hard they flipped completely around and popped right out of my head.
http://m.quickmeme.com/img/1c/1cb70bf96aec8ce9cd8ae12d81c2efdda081e71d71256da127b8e85660f927a0.jpg
>>888 I just saw this and was about to post it.
I can't even begin to deal with this. So: as long as you authentically believe that your private life should remain sacred, it's ok to say that in an interview and then later do a pap stroll, provided that the pap stroll is also authentic. It's also OK to authentically decide to release fakely candid photos of yourself using the paparazzi or your friends' instagrams.
Also who the hell says they have committed to [their girlfriend] with authenticity?
>>890 hahahaha
The man is shit at lying and the need to stop letting him talk.
>>888 I don't think this is about TS, necessarily. It would have been nice to hear the actual question that was asked.
This was the lead-in sentence: So how is Hiddleston handling all this new attention in several different areas? Can we then assume the question was 'How are you handling all the extra attention this summer?' If it was something like that - the relationship with TS being hinted at - then isn't this his standard response to questions about fame and attention and gossip?
And another thing: how does that jive with dating one of the most inauthentic women on the planet? Or with her decision to lie about the extent of her knowledge of "Famous"?
Time for the boy to,take a seat.
Maybe the interviewer asked him about something else and he gave that answer, and they tried to make it look like he was talking about TS?
