It's all solid gold but he says this of the photoshoot:

"And here’s more pictures from Tom’s Interview spread of him looking like a leather daddy dom who’s about as threatening as a bunny in a bonnet and whose idea of rough play is tickling your sides until you say the safe phrase, “Remember you wore that tank top?” That’ll make Tom immediately stop tickling you because he’d need his hands to lay his face on as he silent weeps."

And this of the interview:

"Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston licking each other’s crumpet holes while talking about the business of movie making is even less thrilling and riveting than an interview between wet paint and the wall it’s drying on....

So B. Cums pretty much brought up Taylor Swift while saying that he’s not going to bring up Taylor Swift and those unsolicited Rhode Island pictures. Okay, but what I really want to know is, does the word “unsolicited” mean something different on the Alien Lizard King’s home planet? Because on earth, it means “not asked for; given or done voluntarily” and doesn’t mean, “planned, story-boarded, choreographed and rehearsed with and by a team of publicists, body language experts and art directors.”

I showed them to Mr Anon, by scrolling through the Torrilla pics.

At first he was laughing so hard he was having difficulty speaking.

At about pic 5 (the hat, the transparent vest and the whip on the belt) he said, "it's Tom Hiddleston as visualised by Robert Mapplethorpe."

6 Name: Anon : 2016-09-28 19:02 ID:1IVzbkeo

After some more thought Mr Anon asked, "is this becaus his publicist has failed with heterosexuality?"

Holy fucking fuck, those aren't dungarees (translation:overalls).

That is a leather APRON (translation: gaypron).

>>7 Now that I've seen the photos, they remind me of the images in the 1974 Italian erotic psychological drama film "The Night Porter", with Charlotte Rampling and Dirk Bogarde. After WWII, a Holocaust survivor and the Nazi officer who tortured her in a concentration camp, resume their sadomasochistic relationship after their chance meeting in a German hotel. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? Anyway, I think that I understand the pics, now. I get that Hiddleston enjoys pushing the boundaries of how he is seen by the industry. Maybe he just wanted to step back from the teeny bopper Marvel and Swift brigade? Unfortunately, that won't happen until Loki is done, and Swift pics a new fake bf for them to focus on. Hmmm...His PR team confuses me a times. But I'm just a civilian.

>>3 GOLD! Safe phrase! Needs to cover his face while he weeps! Hahahha! The unsolicited definition is my favorite! Because it really irritates me when he said it.

10 Name: Anon : 2016-09-28 20:41 ID:1IVzbkeo

Oh good, the seated photo is TH actually wearing real police gear. From Jamaica. Anybody think that it is a tad tasteless to get a white guy to dress up as a nazi and in a black policeman's clothes in the same photoshoot?

11 Name: Whatsinaname : 2016-09-28 22:44 ID:agI/SFA7

>>10 Yes it is but they were probably betting that the number of people who knew that was from Jamaica and who would see that would be low. I didn't know. I'm actually more disturbed by the fact that he looks like he's in the Third Reich in that photo.

The timing of this shoot is interesting as it took place in NY immediately after SDCC when I believe operation extraction began.
Luke's heavy involvement is confirmed by Interview Mag Entertainment Director's reply tweet;
Randi Peck @randipeck
@lukejwindsor we did it!! Best team ever 😘

I feel there was a miscommunication. Luke demanded a 'tough' reimagining after TH's limp nude shoot and tragic promance but the art director went with 'tuff'

I would love to see the storyboard that accompanied this shoot. All those dubious references with a floral description of the mise en scene. Hopefully T&L can come up with the goods again.

>>7 Gaypron = genius
>>10 Yes that is tasteless

>>12 How does everyone know the timing of the shoot? Is it the reference in the interview wishing BC a happy birthday? (Late July).

You will know better than me how long it takes to arrange these things. It still seems pretty quick after the disaster of 4 July, but I guess every magazine in the world wanted to interview him at that time.

It doesn't surprise me that Luke was involved. In the nicest possible way this shoot looks like the fantasy of a slightly nerdy gay man approaching middle age. Which is fine, though I question whether it is really playing to TH's key demographic.

15 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-09-29 06:50 ID:Heaven

>>14 In the interview they say the phone conversation happened in August. "In August, while filming in deepest underest Australia, Hiddleston got on the phone with his friend and Marvel-mate Benedict Cumberbatch to talk about the perils and potential power that comes along with the public eye."

The photoshooting, I suppose based on his movements? The only time he was in the US was after SDCC or at the end of July.

16 Name: Anonon : 2016-09-29 07:27 ID:Q/PVc0uV

>>14 Every shoot differs but from conception to an agreement amongst all involved about the look and layout it's usually a week or two depending on the rush. Then you need to allow another week or two for location scouting/ sourcing the wardrobe/ locking down a date when everyone is available. So a month is a generous amount of time to pull it off and a fortnight is doable if someone is in a mad rush.
I've also worked on desperation last minute shoots pulled together in less than a week- they're manic but they do happen.
It's highly likely the shoot was conceived as a direct result of the infamous declaration of love wifebeater. It's possible it was pulled together after Tay's takedown while in Australia. It's certainly been pulled together after the dismal reaction to his underpantze editorial.
Whichever way, TH had nothing to promote yet he made the cover. The Cumberbund initiated the softest, most loving and gentle "interview" of TH's career whereby he managed to remain completely cushioned from his current troubles while plugging his life achievements. Dubious photos aside, the interview served him well.
Who knows, maybe TH is a closet fan of 70s gay prison porn and chintz decor

17 Name: Anon : 2016-09-29 08:06 ID:1IVzbkeo

>>15 thanks - my eyes had glazed over to the extent that I failed to see this...!!!

>>16 And also thanks for the inside line. One of the myths peddled by the stans (especially on CB) is that these things take MONTHS to organise meaning that for example the underpantze editorial was in the pipeline in 2009 or something and had nothing, repeat nothing, to do with desperate thirsty Bond shenanigans.

Similarly they are saying that this editorial must have been in the mind of Interview Mag months before TayTo and that the concept would also have been arranged long before. So he didn't get it because of his association with her, and it wasn't to do damage control, oh no.

Fashion shoots I don't know anything about. But I have had friends who work in publishing and I did think that it sounded like rubbish that these things are set in stone so far ahead. Even a monthly magazine tries to be topical. If they had planned to have a dead-eyed Cara Delvigne on the cover but can switch out nearer the time for someone who they think is more topical and will sell more magazines, due to the joy of desk top publishing, they can and will do it very easily.

18 Name: Savvy : 2016-09-29 08:37 ID:A7vxFJa6

The interview took place on Cumberbatch's birthday. Tom wishes him happy birthday.

19 Name: Anonon : 2016-09-29 08:45 ID:Q/PVc0uV

>>17 Months. Ha!
As much as I hate to admit it, in June/ July, TH was half of the hottest (dry ice hot) couple in the world. It's more than likely TayTo's notoriety gained him this cover editorial and Gucci and there may be more perks to come.
I did have a peak at what the stans were saying and it made my blood boil. They really harp on about issues they know nothing about, it's mind blowing.
It seems they also firmly believe TH just shows up like an idiot savant and dresses in the attire presented to him.
No darlinks, he knew. Oh yes he knew too well from the beginning he was going to be a lathered leathered gay boy in a James Bidgood dreamscape.
I am of the opinion Luke bargained for the Interview Mag shoot.
Gucci is another matter. He would have been selected as their model and made a decision to accept based on a clear knowledge of their current range and previous campaigns. It's still an educated decision.

It has been a month since he was photographed and interviewed for this spread so perhaps the silly stans are forgetting to include post production in their wild timelines.
Shitloads of photoshopping for example...

20 Name: Anon : 2016-09-29 09:10 ID:1IVzbkeo

>>19 So I guess from this that for an interview photoshoot (as opposed to a fashion campaign) the talent knows and approves the concept from the start? Surprise.

I mean, did people really think that Demi Moore was told by Annie Liebowitz on the day, "yeah we are photographing you naked and pregnant for the VF cover"???

Similarly, did people seriously think that when he appeared for the W mag photoshoot he had no awareness that he would be asked to stand there in his pants? Apart from anything else, if it was a total surprise there wouldn't have been any pants....

21 Name: Whatsinaname : 2016-09-29 09:37 ID:agI/SFA7

>>17 >>19 Eh, too many people think they know fashion magazine publishing after watching or reading 'The Devil Wears Prada.' Some things take a long time to set up, but many, many things don't; as you say in >>19 it's 2016 and they can plug and play the content up to the 11th hour before committing to publish.

22 Name: Anonon : 2016-09-29 09:42 ID:Q/PVc0uV

>>20 Whenever I've worked on a shoot with talent of some notoriety my designs/ ideas have required approval from them or their team as well as the photographer, stylist and art director. That's why they have a team and take them to the shoot to once again protect and oversee their image.
The document that is drafted from these signed off designs becomes the run sheet for the shoot, complete with a hilarious blurb emoting all the feels surrounded by our selected reference images.
If the talent doesn't know what they're walking in to it's because they trust their team implicitly to oversee their image. I haven't come across anyone that trusting.

23 Name: Anonon : 2016-09-29 09:49 ID:Q/PVc0uV

>>21 I'll be the first to say I don't know shit about publishing. I only witness a portion of pre- production (but I do receive a flurry of repetitive and dull emails) and my big day is the day of the shoot.
Let's face it, not every magazine is Vogue. I think they would have more forgiving timelines but surely everyone who's watched the film knows they also rush through last minute deadlines.

25 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-09-29 11:23 ID:Heaven

>>16 Cumbersome was the second interview of that kind, when Anon. mentioned apophasis yesterday I remembered that Horowitz did the same when he introduced his post Emmy nomination phone call with TH. So I think these interviews were Team Tom's idea, executed by his buddies so they could steer the conversation were they wanted. Cumbersome didn't even do an interview, he did an illustration of TH's resume.

26 Name: anonsy : 2016-09-29 11:26 ID:xkDkawLy

>>24 Yes. Benedict's birthday is July 19, so this interview was probably just the first time Tom had spoken to him since then, likely early in August.

27 Name: anonsy : 2016-09-29 11:29 ID:xkDkawLy

>>25 Horowitz even said something similar when he introduced Tom's segment on his podcast, now that you mention it - he announced that they wouldn't be discussing Taylor Swift.

28 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-09-29 11:43 ID:Heaven

>>27 Yep, and I think Josh actually said that that wasn't what Tom wanted to talk about and that he also didn't care.

29 Name: Anonon : 2016-09-29 11:49 ID:Q/PVc0uV

>>27 I had completely forgotten "Taylor Swift and I are together and we are very happy".
Between Horowitz, Comeontits and Idris and Helmsworth's bro- sandwich, TH has had a very delicate landing while retaining a strong headline presence.

30 Name: Anon. : 2016-09-29 15:26 ID:Za6/Zd61

>>29 How could you forget this line, the greatest declaration of love and finding The One since Edward VIII's abdication speech! I bet it took him several hours and more than one advisor to come up with that sentence: suggestive of a real relationship but not an outright lie. TH is nothing if not a semantic tinkerer.

31 Name: Anon. : 2016-09-29 15:38 ID:Za6/Zd61

>>16,17 All of which goes to my point and to the points of others on this board and across the fandom: he needs to say 'no' more often than he says 'yes' because neither him nor his people know what they're doing. The Gucci shoot is one thing, it's paid work and high fashion. These pics have nothing but 'nope' written all over them. Agreeing to this idea was a mistake, even if a softball interview was thrown into the deal. Never agree to wear a leather apron for anyone...unless you're a butcher.

TH is 'doing a 180' and attempting to relive the good old days. This is like a musical version of his usual excerpt from a miserable philosopher.

According to some sad fans on twitter, TH finally went on a blocking spree but he inadvertently blocked a devoted fan and forgot to block some of the super badass ones.
Maybe he does read his mean tweets after all.

36 Name: Anon : 2016-09-30 10:29 ID:xkggJqqQ

>>35 Looks like he did also block some of the crazies. One was saying "but I haven't tweeted him direct for aaaages." As if this showed normality! And she was also asking that hate acct Taylor's Next Song if she had been blocked. Showing what company she keeps....

37 Name: Anonon : 2016-09-30 11:27 ID:FEsU3ku+

>>36 I read one saying she deserved to be blocked, a few others were shocked they weren't and one was in tears because she hadn't mean tweeted.

I can't believe it's taken him this long to block the meanies, maybe he read the replies for the first time ever and got a bit of a shock.

>>36>>37 Looks like some of them are getting pissy at getting blocked and now tweeting and tagging Luke in their rants. I can't believe he wasn't already doing this. I don't believe that he hadn't read his mentions or replies before. I think he did but it's probably the first time he's standing up for himself. Good for him. Or his team. Whoever did the blocking. Only downside is that it's gonna make the other crazies even crazier in their mission to kiss ass and get Tom to notice them and get a Twitter follow back.

Does this mean we'll see a genuinely authentic Tom now who voices his own opinion and doesn't give non denial non answers? Maybe he's grown a spine! Maybe I'm hoping for too much and will be let down sorely.

I can't tell what this Twitter business means. Maybe he's finally looked at his notifications/ replies and has gotten a short, sharp shock and done what most people do with unpleasant internet people: tried to make them go away. Maybe he wants to block the haters and clear up the muddy waters of his Twitter account, and thus maybe his fandom's decidedly muddy waters.

Either way, or whatever way, it sounds like he's done it the TH-way, I.e., half-assed (as my mother would delicately put it). He can no more tell the difference between a true fan and a crazy/hater than he can tell the difference between a good PR move and a disastrous one.

41 Name: NewAnon : 2016-09-30 18:33 ID:CE/5pgoT

oh look guys, we got mentioned as haters on a certain blog https://tmblr.co/ZnIWmn2CnAxlN

>>41 WTF? We are the same group as the people who have been tweeting abuse and stalking him on social media?? Has she not been reading the board? We have repeatedly said that tweeting him directly, even about hiring an interior designer or about having the same hairdresser, is nuts, and that the abuse he gets from twitter crazies is vile.

And as for abusing the good people of tumblr, well I will put my hand up to holding in contempt one account in particular but we are hardly alone in that, on or off tumblr. And of thiddyastro herself I said when she shut up shop that it was a pity as her blog was one of the good guys (whether or not you go for HR astrology angle). Ah well. Feed a lame dog and he'll bite your hand, as my grandad used to say.

44 Name: Anon. : 2016-09-30 20:47 ID:WQK6sORk

We're famous! I knew we'd make it big.

>>41,43 I can't link to tumblr at work, so I'm assuming it's the astrology blog. I admit to being 'a hater' - urgh, are we in middle school? - of hers simply because she, on a few occasions, called out the TheoAnons blog and those anons for lying and being anti-TH, while declaring that her astrology readings were accurate and totally reliable. I should note that TheoAnons never gave credence to any of her anons and always posted with a good dose of salt and amusing commentary.

45 Name: Anon : 2016-09-30 21:59 ID:m/W6hebK

>>44 Did she? I didn't see that. No bueno.

The real criticism of us is, I am sure, that we dare on occasion to criticise TH. I notice that they still come here for a read even though we are "haters."

46 Name: Anon. : 2016-09-30 23:10 ID:WQK6sORk

>>45 She did. This was early on in the blog. I guess TheoAnons posted a few pro-Theo anon messages - no big deal; she didn't present them as fact or support them, just posted them and commented on them. Someone told the astro lady about them and she was not happy. Who knows why. A few people reported it to TheoAnons. TheoAnons laughed it off and rightly pointed out that it was criticism coming from a woman who purports to predict TH's future by kinda knowing when and where the stars were when he was born! :/

>>43 I've read it now. Again: a woman who knows TH's future based on the position of the stars when he exited his mother's fanny is calling us 'a clusterfuck' and 'delusional.' (Eye roll)

47 Name: Anonon : 2016-10-01 00:09 ID:FEsU3ku+

>>41,43,44,45,46 Clearly Thiddy glances over here but either fails to comprehend or skim reads..
This is by no means the first time she has thrown rocks in the wrong direction and it's the reason I stopped reading her blog. She was way out of line with TheoAnons and we did call her out here which is most likely the reason we are top of her hate list.
Bully is the word we used and I would say it still applies.
Her research skills are poorly since she thinks we are the very same twitter users who TH blocked. The only link we have with those twits is that they lurk here.

It's not every day you get called delusional, entitled, vile, abusive and a CLUSTERFUCK.
I always had the impression astrologers were friendly hippies but this one is a bit of a loopy bitch.

48 Name: Anon. : 2016-10-01 01:30 ID:WQK6sORk

>>47 PREACH!!! Yes! Blogs like TheoAnons and TOD had their faults but they provided the fandom with anons, funny/intelligent commentary, TheoAnons had some proper 'exclusives' with twitter sightings and IG pics. TOD did the same, one brilliant one from anonsy. We here do the same. We post links, exclusives and intelligent comments - not to mention properly funny comments. We offer something; Miss Astro does not - here or on her own blog. She'll lurk here, and criticize but that's the extent of what she offers. One of the anons on TOD mentioned that ever since Astro was catfished by a crazy fan - to the point where she called the local police because she thought the fan was going to commit suicide - since then, she just accuses everyone who criticizes her, TH, Tayto, her 'readings,' etc. of being that catfisher...that incredibly busy catfisher! Talk about delusional.

49 Name: Anonon : 2016-10-01 08:05 ID:FEsU3ku+

>>48 I'm not going to argue the validity of one blog over another- each to their own. What I can't comprehend is the mentality of someone who suffers the wrath of a catfisher and then propels all that misguided hate towards others.
I feel she would benefit from some OM's in an ashram while contemplating her life choices (and take TH along too while she's at it).
Some chill and introspection never hurt anyone.

50 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-10-01 09:59 ID:Heaven

Let me see if I got it right, astrotwit went on a rant about us because it was said that it was about time TH blocked his fans?
Or she took the excuse of other fans making a fuss about TH blocking fans to go on a rant about us? And the rant had to do with us saying in the past that she is a bully and astrology is absurd?
But that doesn't make us haters, simply observant. She is a bully, she went after TOD and THEOanon for no other reason that they weren't kissing TH's ass, and astrology is absurd, I mean it's a pastime à la Dungeon&Dragons, someone might want to spend time with it but completely ineffectual.

Instead of wasting energy on us, she might be more worried about TH, 4 weeks to go for Thor3 and still no announcement of future work. In the meantime both Hemsworth and Cumberbatch have been already announced for Infinity War.

All this being said, I'll gladly go back ignoring her existence, after all this is a board to talk about TH.

>>54 In all my twitter journeys, I've not come across that acct.! I would say as long as it isn't 'being a meanie,' then he probably didn't block.

Does anyone know if the spate of blocks came out of those replying to his Song of the Day tweet? I'm wondering if he threw a little hissy when people responded negatively to one of his more popular schticks: 'I'm doing what you want and you're still being mean, well fine then!'

>>57 Over on D-listed and ONTD a few were saying that this is Klein's thing. One or two were singing his praises and suggesting that TH said 'yes' to the shoot because you just automatically say 'yes' to Klein. And I say: no. Whatever his reputation in photography is, this photoshoot was more comic than edgy/artsy-fartsy with TH as the subject.

We need a good photoshoot; he needs a good photoshoot. From W mag to Gucci to Herr Flick does gay porn, it's well past time for a good TH shoot. Get him in a classic suit, no animals, no hostage face, no leather - just TH being gorgeous. He's done it before and should again. And throw in an interview where he's not getting his pole polished by a friend - perfection.

60 Name: Anonon : 2016-10-02 23:47 ID:Q/PVc0uV

>>58 I've come across that one- I'm not a prude but have been seriously shocked by some of her posts.

>>57,59 Klein is one of the worlds top fashion photographers and this is not the first time he's made a celeb look ridiculous (although the heavily photoshopped cover shot is gorgeous). I think the difference is that the celebs he's photographed before have had personas/ roles which touched on Kleins aesthetic, whereas TH is fairly off- brand.
He has been so off- brand this year I can only guess it's a deliberate ploy to break out of his mould. I'm not exactly sure of his direction (tweeny bitch pop rom- com accessory/ leather s&m prison porn/ chintz dandy).
It would seem the only thing predictable about TH now is his casual wardrobe.

Some will say those gloves are for lifting. Nope. Now that he's discovered 'the leather life' thanks to Interview mag, there's no going back. First gloves, then it will be leather hats, shorts, a mesh top. It's coming.

We are, of course, reminded that it's been a month since the death of Tayto and the first nail in the coffin of true love (Brangelina drove a few more in).

How long before he and TS are no longer mentioned in the same article? Six months? A year?

Funniest line: '...the outline of his buff torso was visible....'

62 Name: Anonon : 2016-10-03 04:20 ID:2FoM/77G

>>62 That's not usually the outline we see in that outfit

63 Name: Anon : 2016-10-03 06:55 ID:m/W6hebK

>>57,59,60

I notice the article gives the lie to the old "TH never has control over his photo shoots" claim, insofar as it says that with Klein they don't - but that his is very much the exception to the rule.

I have to say I find Klein's aesthetic tedious. Put Brad Pitt in bondage gear and have everyone call you edgy. Repeat ad nauseam with other celebs. Gets old really fast.

64 Name: Anon : 2016-10-03 07:12 ID:m/W6hebK

>>61 Those gloves are comical. Not least because he can't be lifting very heavy given how skinny his arms still are.

Also, he brought his iPad to the gym. What is he doing, sitting in the bike for half an hour watching telly?

65 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-10-03 11:14 ID:Heaven

Klein is a great photographer the way Terry Richardson is a great photographer: the right connections and fashion/celeb people pretending their crap is art.

66 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-10-03 11:20 ID:Heaven

>>64 hahaha he was watching fitness tutorials on youtube.

Torrilla has other photos from the day after the gym: he needs new vneck tshirts, with all that workout the old ones are now a tad too short. I can't decide if he is still smoking and that shape in his right pocket is a pack of cigarettes. Also, I don't know if it's the photos but is hairline seems to have taken another step back.

>>66 I say no to ciggies, simply because you don't keep your soft pack in your jeans' pocket unless you want snapped ciggies. He'd have a soft pack in his jacket pocket.

Wallet? Small pack of tissues for when he realizes what he did this summer? He must remember The T-shirt and just start to sob, right?

68 Name: Anon. : 2016-10-03 14:09 ID:Za6/Zd61

>>66 Let's be honest, his hair is only going to go in one direction at this point. But he could make it so much better if he let some of the curl come back and let it curl around the hairline rather than scrape it back.

I can with some confidence say that he's having it chemically straightened. As someone with curly hair, nearly as curly as his, you don't get that style without blow drying it out After washing or getting a Brazilian blowout type procedure. And blowing it out after every wash is a pain, and not something I see him doing.

69 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-10-03 14:18 ID:Heaven

>>67 The tissues make sense, lol
He was keeping something of that shape even when his true love was meeting his family in Suffolk; Anon and I thought it was ciggies because he had everything else in his hands. And he was smoking at Selena's concert.

70 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-10-03 14:20 ID:Heaven

>>68 Yeah, I know that genetically speaking that's clearly his future and I'm hardly faulting him for it, but the speed at which is happening is why it stood out to me.

I can't for the life of me understand why he insists on straightening his hair, it just makes him look older. Curls suit his face so much more.

There I even paid him a compliment today, it's a miracle.

71 Name: Anon. : 2016-10-03 15:55 ID:Za6/Zd61

>>70 When I used to complain about my curly hair, my abulita would say, 'Anon., God gave you the right hair for you.' As if he were some cosmic hairdresser! But she was right.

And it's definitely the case with TH. Here's a man who looks older than his years and has a receding hairline, but he has curly hair. Some curls coming forward around the male pattern baldness areas would trick the eye into thinking he had more hair than he does and would soften up his face - voila, 5 years whacked off. In fact, I don't actually think he's lost that much hair - stress levels aside - in the past few years; I think the severe hairstyle and overuse of product makes it look like he's lost a lot of hair.

I just wrote too much about a stranger's hair. Quick, TH, make a bad PR move or do another crap photoshoot - we 'haters' need something to hate.

>>71 I think you're right. In this old video, we can see that his airline was already like it is today.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4KESeU1zqc

he looks better and younger with a bit of curls over his forehead. Like, for example, at Times Talks Madrid:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD-E-ddTp8E

73 Name: Anon : 2016-10-03 16:28 ID:1IVzbkeo

>>71 Yes, I don't think his hairline has changed much. What has changed is the shorter hair and the straightening/product usage. Piling product onto your hair in an inept way will make it clump together and look thinner. A few weeks ago (the last week before the Brazilian blowout?) it was curling round his face and looked so much better.

74 Name: Savvy : 2016-10-03 16:52 ID:/BUMvoTw

I've been curious about that scar on his upper lift.In some photos it looks small but in others it seems to end at his nose. Today I decided to do some research (thanks Google) and this photo seems to confirm that the latter.

They say you've made it when you make it into People. I don't think that 100% accurate, but so far, TH has been in People for Tayto and nothing else...until now.

There's nothing new bio wise, but check out the intro to People's BTWS feature with TH.

'Before he became Tay-Tay's 10 second imaginary boyfriend and the material for her future hits....'

Talk about haters.

He actually is pretty cute in these pics. And not a pair of furry slippers, a pair of underpants or a crazy bondage outfit in sight.

While the tumbleweed rolls through this fandom I'm rolling out a speculation I'd usually keep quiet.

https://instagram.com/p/BLOX2-lAg-R/
Olly is in LA
SI is doing some extensive reshoots (have a squiz at #The Lot Studios on IG and reel tours Hawaii)

The likelihood of TH also being is LA for the reshoots is mid- high.

As a coincidental shit- stir I'll also mention TS is in LA

80 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-10-09 07:22 ID:Heaven

>>78 That was one of my favourite photoshoot ever, he ruined even that for me. But the cat is still gorgeous.

>>79 I think it's almost certain TH is in LA. I'm doing a praying circle for Tayto having dinner together, just for the lols, but he will likely show up with Beardy, his new bff. The number of reshoots are not a good sign, at all. (the twitter account of the Hawaii guy is now reelnewshawaii)

81 Name: Anon : 2016-10-09 07:45 ID:1IVzbkeo

>>79 Good spot!! You get the photos on IG by searching The Lot Studios as a location, not their account (or I did, anyway).

Not a good sign for SI, though, surely? Anonon, maybe you can shed some light as to how common reshoots are, or reshoots of this apparent magnitude. I see Brie is there....and reel tours showed both the helicopter and the boat, so this doesn't look like a 5 minute job.

82 Name: Sosorry : 2016-10-09 08:23 ID:bbgAObmX

TH is in the new Newzoids 8th October episode, wearing the Loki costume with his bum exposed, alongside Cumberbatch/Dr Strange and Idis Elba/Luther. Oh dear.

84 Name: Anonon : 2016-10-09 10:50 ID:562x4jMv

>>80,81 Thankyou both for correcting my lazy references. I was on my phone while supposed to be working and couldn't be specific.

I gather TS has now flown the coup and sadly I doubt either of their management teams would ever allow another splendidly candid TayTo dinner.

Pickups are common. Pickups are little scene fillers whereas reshoots are either to create new entire scenes or literally reshoot scenes that didn't work. They are a pain in the arse. You need to reassemble all the cast and match their bloody hairstyles somehow while not destroying their hairstyles from their current project and dig out all the wardrobe and sets from storage. It's a nightmare for continuity.
Basically every director wants this luxury but most have blown the budget. A lot of big budget films schedule reshoots from the onset (that's probably the case here, where you need to coordinate a busy international cast) and everyone hopes and prays they don't cash in on it. They become worrisome when entire plotlines shift or new characters are created- that's when you know whatever was in the bag was a stinker.
Without knowing the extent of these reshoots its hard to say if it's a sign of it being Shit Island. It's a sure sign of a luxurious budget and a less than perfect film though.

85 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-10-09 11:15 ID:Heaven

>>83 Wasn't there another one where they made fun of his English countryside? In that case he was auditioning for Bond.

86 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-10-09 11:18 ID:Heaven

>>84 Kong was a 5 months filming wasn't it? How did he (the director) get things wrong with so much time at his disposal is beyond me. This film had better be perfect or it'll be the biggest flop of 2017.

87 Name: Sosorry : 2016-10-09 18:00 ID:bbgAObmX

>>85 Yes, Couch Potato. Newzoids - Tom Hiddleston James Bond Audition Clip, The Man with the Golden Buns.

https://youtu.be/cU6UBAPGM9s

And apparently Daniel Craig just said that there is no job like Bond in the world, and he'd miss it if he ever left. So Craig will be back as Bond, as we thought, since he was always under contract. Craig is such a tease! And Barbara Broccoli just loves a little drama : )

>>79 You must be incorrect, Anonon. They can't be in LA as both TH and TS wouldn't be able to step outside their respective hotel rooms/private planes without being papped by photogs and those pics being splashed on every tab and mag in.the.universe. They are just that famous. :/

I recall how we all joked about the SI cast's extracurricular activities. Are they even filming a movie?!? Hahahah! Seems they weren't.

>>86 The filming messes preceding Apocalypse Now and Aguirre, TWoG are well known. They resulted in genius. I'm willing to go out on a limb and say a film phoenix won't rise from the SI ashes.

89 Name: Anonon : 2016-10-09 21:58 ID:562x4jMv

>>88 I'm starting to wonder if TH has become addicted to private planes. How is he flying un- noticed? How will the insanely intelligent one rationalise their respective invisibility?
Aguirre is one of my favorites. Herzog would never stick a monkey on it and I can't imagine any of the SI actors throwing a Brando or going as method as Klaus

90 Name: Anon. : 2016-10-09 22:22 ID:WQK6sORk

>>89 He always managed to fly under the radar before Tayto so I bet he's doing the same now. We had plenty of airport and flight tweets but not every time. Maybe, maybe studios are paying for private planes, especially for reshoots, so as to avoid disruption to T:R filming, but I'd bet he's flying commercial.

I wonder what the joke was... http://4-ch.net/img/src/1476051173104.png. If it comes out, I'm sure the old dears at CB will explain it away. Because this stunt has had NO negative effects on his career, his standing in the acting community, or on his mortal soul.

91 Name: Anon : 2016-10-09 22:27 ID:1IVzbkeo

>>90 I think he is flying commercial and incognito. He was doing this with few pap encounters until he started filming SI (when there was an actual welcome party waiting for the whole cast in Vietnam, so it doesn't really count). When he was going to and fro in April he got papped a lot, but I now interpret that as his US publicity calling the paps. Same for TayTo. And now TayTo is over - back to flying incognito.

92 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-10-10 16:02 ID:Heaven

>>90 Of course they would, they are after all the same people saying that the mocking only happened on gossip media while also saying that it raised his profile.
By the way, you all need to read this last post at CB about TH, no way it happened but the idea alone is funny. (veranda person changed her name, for a moment I dreaded there were 2 of them, but no, phew)

93 Name: Anon. : 2016-10-10 16:35 ID:WQK6sORk

I've left the naughty language in because we've all heard it, but maybe the link is NSFW because of language?

From a Dlisted post about Bond and DC:

I have a feeling that Daniel Craig has never had any intention of quitting Bond, but he was playing hard to get. Sure, when I play hard to get, I end up with no dick and lonely. But when Daniel Craig plays hard to get, he ends up getting $150 million. And so this means that Tom Hiddleston probably dad danced at that Selena Gomez concert and wore that “I Heart T.S.” tank for nothing. You know, Taylor Swift is professionally in bed with Sony and Sony makes the Bond movies, so they were probably fucking with Tom Hiddleston for shits. That’s a cold cunt move, Sony, a cold cunt move, because every time Tom hears a Taylor song, he bawls while punching his ears. He forever has Post Traumatic Swift Disorder.

I think we ALL have 'PTSD.'

96 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-10-11 12:13 ID:Heaven

>>94,95 Shitty Island is already starting to stink.

His ability to go incognito now, after the summer mess, proves Anon is right, when he was papped at LAX prior to TayTo it was his team calling the paps.

97 Name: anonsy : 2016-10-11 12:25 ID:xkDkawLy

>>96 I think the fact that he's taking night flights to and from Oz has something to do with it, too. Most celeb pap shots from LAX are in the daytime. I think there were a couple occasions where his team called the paps to the airport - the pics of him in his cowboy boots carrying his guitar come to mind - but I still think a lot of them were "natural."

98 Name: Anon : 2016-10-11 14:29 ID:1IVzbkeo

>>97 I agree it hasn't been him calling the paps all the time - but during the publicity tour for ISTL it seemed to happen a lot - it is hard to distinguish as he was wearing basically one outfit but I do remember him being papped arriving at DC before the Correspondents' Dinner and a couple of other airports where you might not expect paps.

99 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-10-11 14:33 ID:Heaven

>>96,98 yes that's the period I was referring to, before that I agree with you anonsy that it was mostly by accident, but since April it happened a lot and now all of a sudden nothing at all.

100 Name: Anon. : 2016-10-11 15:17 ID:Za6/Zd61

>>98,99 Yep. Reagan International. No paps there usually. For what? To catch congressmen alighting from a trip home to the constituency? Unlikely. And he was, of course, carrying his guitar like the HW wannabe he was during that press tour. A promo tour which Anon affectionately calls the 'polishing a turd' tour.

In hindsight, the moment he touched down for the US ISTL and HR promo tours, his team were pulling out all the stops to raise his US profile: Every show that would take him, even if for just a 5 minute segment, the WHCD, the Met, that opening of that one envelope. And then a few weeks later...Tayto.

They tried so hard. They failed so spectacularly.
