Tom Hiddleston (1000)

Thread to talk about the actor...oh fuck it. You know what to do

2 Name: Couch Potato : 2017-03-01 19:04 ID:Heaven

I love that you restarted the thread count.

I leave this here, it's a clip from today's BBC radio program TH attended (torrilla has the whole file, I think, plus photo with his driver/bodyguard)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04vdyft

he gets asked if he google himself and about his sweatpants, he didn't know they had a hole!

And just when you thought Tommy had been such a good boy at keeping his eyes off Brie's cleavage yesterday at the premiere, there comes this video (starting at :15 seconds). She's so cute when she catches him! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tB7gQ2fXzs

>>1 We're regressing! But we've come through so much...14 threads...actually, let's pretend we're on 1.

>>2 I didn't know they had a hole...honestly. That's the truth. Thanks for asking.

This reminds me of an interview I tried to watch. It was a British outlet and seemed serious so I thought that I could manage it. Within 20 seconds he said: I've always wanted to do an adventure movie about a journey to an undiscovered island'...said the guy promoting a movie about a journey to an undiscovered island. I had to stop watching. He's a hopeless fibber who sometimes stumbles blindly and badly into outright lying.

I'm lighting a candle for Tom's career dreams to come true in the long run, but Tom should call time out on stoking the flames of the alleged Bond rumours. No one in the general public believes them right now. In the immortal words of John Lennon, 'Let it Be.'

>>2 Yes, we've reached the end times. No, I forgot that the board didn't automatically number the threads.

>>4 We are in the desert and Mr Hiddleston has some sand to sell us.

PS I saw a pic of BL at the Golden Globes last year - I think those puppies are a recent addition, hence perhaps their starring role in KSI promotion.

7 Name: NewAnon : 2017-03-02 13:28 ID:a5CbPO7S

>>6 I thought that too. At Golden Globes it really didn't look like she had an ample chest. Then I googled Brie Larson 2016 to make sure and it looks like she's always had the same size but just didn't wear outfits that emphasized them:

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/sites/default/files/custom/Stephanie/Sam/Brie.jpg

Then at Comic Con 2016 she dresses similar to SI promo: http://tomandlorenzo.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Brie-Larson-Marvel-Panel-San-Diego-Comic-Con-2016-Red-Carpet-Fashion-Gabriela-Hearst-Tom-Lorenzo-Site-3.jpg

I'm guessing award season dressing is much more demure than shilling action adventure promo lol gotta bring in those fanboys!

Ummm, TH is at RADA inspiring a new generation of fake boyfriends with these powerful words..."Everything from the RADA training comes into play...The muscle of committing to the belief in something that doesn't exist...." He says he's talking about CGI but we know better.

The quotes the RADA twitter acct. is sending out are unintentionally hilarious if you read them in light of Tayto:

"You have to hold the moment in your mind and then replicate it, often weeks later, in several different locations."

"When I left RADA my hope was I'd never do just one thing my whole career. That influences my choices about my work."

10 Name: Heynon : 2017-03-02 23:16 ID:ZlA/bjVC

>>4, >>6 Anyone else feel like he's kind of just phoning it in during this round of PR (including in LA)? Especially when compared to his level of excitement about SI during ComicCon last summer?

>>5 The press may be more interested in the Bond story than he is now. In one of the early interviews from LA (I'll try to re-find it), he looks to be squirming in his chair when that question came up. Now that he's made his Official Statement about the summer of love, the rags are going to need items to keep his as clickbait.

>>9 Let's hope he's satisfied with already having played the PR boyfriend once in his career!

11 Name: Heynon : 2017-03-02 23:24 ID:ZlA/bjVC

First reviews are out. Variety: "Hiddleston, while top-billed, never takes over the movie, but he’s crisp and hearty (though that accent of his is too posh)."

12 Name: Heynon : 2017-03-02 23:26 ID:ZlA/bjVC

Ouch - the Guardian! "...the talented Tom Hiddleston is frankly off his game. Given no support in terms of script and direction, he looks stiff and unrelaxed and delivers lines with an edge of panic, like Michael Caine in The Swarm."

GQ's not a fan.

http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/kong-skull-island-review-tom-hiddleston-brie-larson-king-kong

AND, they:

  1. mention Tayto in the first sentence
  2. have cottoned on to this being TH's 'I'm an action STAR' role
  3. don't mention his bolognese...at all

They at least get JG's character's name correct. The Guardian calls him Bill Panda.

We knew it was never going to be Oscar bound. The first sign was the 20 different re-writes and the two big stars dropping out right after they won major awards. The second was the need for re-shoots. The third: the revelation that the director was a peanut. But the summer has shown us one of TH's qualities: he never runs when faced with abject failure. He'll continue to talk about 'myth' and 'watching Kong as a child' and JVR's 'amazing vision.' And he'll hope for good box office - domestic and overseas. He'll treat this just like Tatyo: ignore reality, embrace fantasy, full steam ahead.

15 Name: Heynon : 2017-03-03 02:50 ID:ZlA/bjVC

>>14 And GQ has been upped at its own game by this: http://lwlies.com/reviews/kong-skull-island/

I'll just say that it starts with "Tom! Hiddleston! Loves! This! Blockbuster!
It’s an amazing blockbuster, the most incredible blockbuster you’ve ever seen. You think you’ve seen great blockbusters? Try Tom Hiddleston’s blockbuster before you continue to talk about great blockbusters you’ve seen in your life. (You smother it in CGI after shooting it on an island – that’s the thing. Also: big guns! Also: Brie! He also loves big guns and Brie!)…."

16 Name: Heynon : 2017-03-03 03:38 ID:ZlA/bjVC

>>14 After skimming the reviews so far, about the best for TH is "he's fine, but..." with the buts being mainly the script and John C. Reilly being far and away the best performance by a human.

And of course there's snark: a couple of Bond allusions, mentions of TH's square-jaw-edness, and (most frequent) his perfect-even-though-we're-in-a-jungle-or-swamp hair.

Good thing he liked the "gas-mask samuri" bit, because that's his only scene that's called out for attention.

It will be interesting to see what he's like on the BBC Morning Show tomorrow (that is, if he succumbed to googling the reviews). But I suspect Anon. is right about him continuing to embrace the fantasy.

17 Name: Anon : 2017-03-03 06:57 ID:JdqnTY+R

Did a lot of googling and the reviews are very mixed, to say the least. 1 star from the Guardian and 4 from the Telegraph.

Another interesting fact: TH is still in London but Olly (according to his IG) has been in LA for 3 days now...

18 Name: Anon : 2017-03-03 07:02 ID:JdqnTY+R

Just checked Vogt-Roberts' assistant's IG. Olly is visiting him. Either being TH's personal assistant is the best gig ever and requires no work whatsoever, even when your boss is doing back to back interviews in the U.K., or they have parted ways.

19 Name: Anon : 2017-03-03 07:23 ID:JdqnTY+R

Watch this bizarre interview from 4.00 or so: https://youtu.be/9Jr0frtKNCc

Interviewer mentions that TH is a Rangers (football) fan. TH furrows brow and says "I don't think I've ever said that" and then "I think it's a fiction". What???? You don't actually know whether you support a particular team or not?

20 Name: Anon : 2017-03-03 07:33 ID:JdqnTY+R

He must have loved doing the RADA talk:

From a student actor's tumblr. I am not going to link to it in order to protect the guilty. Tom's face in the accompanying fan pic is priceless.

"I asked him if one day he’d write a script of direct a film himself, and he said he’d love to. I then got to tell him about my Novel in which I based a character on him. I said “I even described him abit like you so they’re forced to cast you in the movie adaptation” (and I actually fucking winked at him) and I got a ‘ehehehe’ "

21 Name: Couch Potato : 2017-03-03 08:18 ID:Heaven

>>9 I wonder how many of those in the crowd were thinking about TayTo, probably most of them.

>>14 If it's lucky this film will have a CP result, which won't even be enough to break even, but at least it won't be a total fiasco. And yes, it was totally predictable.

22 Name: Couch Potato : 2017-03-03 08:19 ID:Heaven

>10 Maybe because he July he probably hadn't watched the final product. Now he knows it's mediocre; what you get when you sign onto a film without having even read the script.

>>15 I also didn't see the point of spending so much money to tour so many different locations and then end up with a festival of CG monsters. Add some more CG and travel less.

23 Name: Couch Potato : 2017-03-03 08:20 ID:Heaven

>>18 That's bizarre, so it's likely they did. Was a replacement spotted on the red carpet so far?

>>19 lol

24 Name: Couch Potato : 2017-03-03 08:20 ID:Heaven

As for RT and Metacritic, better to wait, Crimson Peak had the same strong start in RT and then settled for a 64.

25 Name: NewAnon : 2017-03-03 08:36 ID:a5CbPO7S

>>20 Oh I saw that one. It's funny because she's also one of those Hiddlestoners that writes TH fanfic. Tbh, I found her post all sorts of awkward...

26 Name: Anon. : 2017-03-03 11:55 ID:ZekuQ35R

>>19 'I don't think I've ever said that...but I've always wanted to be a Rangers fan.'

This is the problem with fibers or those who are constantly molding and remolding themselves to fit what's needed in a particular moment. Sooner or later they forget the fibs or momentary characters they've created.

27 Name: Couch Potato : 2017-03-03 12:09 ID:Heaven

>>20,25 Ok I gave in to curiosity and looked for it and Anon you're right, he looks so uncomfortable in that photo.

What amused me the most is his stans up in arms against mean UK critics for daring not liking this film. I swear they are one step away from shouting: "Fake news! Failing Guardian! Sad!".
Really, if they didn't like they didn't like it, suck it up. If you claim critics reviews don't count, imagine how irrelevant is your blog.

Do you think he asked Ed about Taytay?

Here's a clip from the BBC Radio 2 program, TH had a preview of ES's single DIVIDE last summer in Rome.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04vn425?ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbc_radio_2&ns_source=twitter&ns_linkname=radio_and_music

>>30 Is Ed being sarcastic about him being Rome, as to not mention TS? B/c Who brings a pal on an allegedly passionate worldwide hookup fest?! Couldn't they even hang platonically w/o others around and have fun? If I was faking a relationship with a talented person in an interesting field of profession, I think I would try and pick their brain and learn something from the experience. Not a TS girl, but her team knows a lot about marketing, and buying real estate, etc. And hearing Tom talk about theatre and literature would be interesting for a novice. Odd.

>>27 Does he look like he did on date night in Oz?

http://dlisted.com/2016/07/10/taylor-swift-and-tom-hiddleston-are-currently-making-australia-nauseous/

The one where he's basically SOSing with his eyes but valiantly smiling.

His stans have always done this. I feel it's gotten worse following on from Tayto and the GGs speech. They've become so protective of him that one is just not allowed to criticize him or his work in any way, even reasonably (not that I do that 😏). Those who consider it some sort of duty - Horatius on the bridge - are the most frightening. He's an actor, not a 'cause' that needs to be defended or championed.

34 Name: Anon. : 2017-03-03 16:38 ID:J0oZXGi0

OT What did everyone give up for Lent? What do we think TH gave up?

Me: Cafe bought coffee. The money's going into the nipper's college fund. As my husband said: it will cover a half second of college tuition.

TH: Olly it seems.

35 Name: NewAnon : 2017-03-03 16:52 ID:a5CbPO7S

Tom: Hope of ever landing Bond.

This is TH at Front Row on BBC Radio 4. At the end of his segment he's asked whether the media being so volatile, in favour or against so quickly, changed how he operates with them; he is evasive at first and then gives an interesting answer.

38 Name: Couch Potato : 2017-03-03 17:13 ID:Heaven

TH: being a media darling.

39 Name: Anon : 2017-03-03 18:57 ID:+A24CSk6

TH: I am hoping the sweatpants, but he was asked about them and he said very plaintively, "they're my favourite." Maybe the boots (fat chance).

40 Name: Heynon : 2017-03-03 21:39 ID:CMLPKxOa

>>41 God I can't stand that woman. Talk about sucking every ounce of fame out of her association with TH. She is an average menswear stylist and a pretty rubbish womenswear stylist (her women's Oscar looks are just horrid). He should have made her sign up to a confidentiality agreement.

43 Name: Heynon : 2017-03-03 23:23 ID:ZlA/bjVC

>>37 He's still evasive even after taking a long pause to think about the question. He just talks about the actor's responsibility to represent everyone who worked on a production. But the interviewer was asking about him and his current relationship with the media.

For someone who's supposedly so thoughtful, he has such trouble answering questions about himself. (Even his answer to the earlier question about dealing with his fans as he's gotten more famous was jumbled, I thought.) At least he had a coherent, brief answer about his GG speech.

44 Name: Heynon : 2017-03-03 23:29 ID:ZlA/bjVC

>>42 Everyone seems to do that with him these days (Taffy being another example). Even GQ is using him as clickbait while continuing their snark about Tayto. We should take bets on when the press will finally stop mentioning the SoL in every article.

>>34 I gave up smoking. Kind like social drinking, I will have the odd cigarette at parties. But afterwards I can't stand how my breath stinks and how it smells overall. So goodbye.

>>33 The nannying has been nearly unbearable for quite a while but the overseeing of the movie reviews from publications is ridiculous. They almost make the byke woman's anti-nanny stance seem sane, even though she couldn't take what people dished out to her.

46 Name: Anon : 2017-03-04 07:31 ID:JdqnTY+R

Empire review which doesn't even mention TH: http://www.empireonline.com/movies/kong-skull-island/review/

Someone did a compare and contrast and pointed out that British reviews were a lot less positive than US ones. That's a divide I noticed: Variety and THR were a lot better.

As for the nannies: they are losing it. Over the GQ parody review ("Taffy was criticising evil snark like this!" - um, Taffy was bringing evil snark like this). And the other reviews - one " TH news" site I follow is just not linking to any of the bad reviews. Funny as they didn't have a problem publishing bad ISTL reviews. Is it that they all hated the concept of ISTL/the film and therefore understood why it wasn't getting good reviews? But they love the concept of SI? Or are they just desperate for this project to succeed? (Which I think it will BTW as the US reviews have been good enough).

47 Name: Couch Potato : 2017-03-04 09:15 ID:Heaven

>>43 He does answer, he only uses a very indirect and politer way of doing it. He basically says "I'm here to talk about the film not about me" i.e. don't ask me personal question. Which is like admitting that his relationship with the media has changed, otherwise he would said "I operate like I always have".

48 Name: Couch Potato : 2017-03-04 09:18 ID:Heaven

>>46 I didn't quote the orange brat by chance, they have the same attitude of not being able to stand anyone who doesn't agree and ignoring facts if they don't suit them.

49 Name: Couch Potato : 2017-03-04 09:27 ID:Heaven

>>46 About SI reviews, it must be embarrassing to have to older actors who are not the leads, stealing the spotlight in terms of performance.

I read some foreign reviews (not UK or US), they seem to go along with that first review that was posted here as far as the film on the whole is concerned.

There's a first introductory part that it's ok, then a central part, from when they "land" on the island to the final part, that is very silly and mediocre. One journalist wrote that it's like they gave a huge budget to a cinema fan and a cinephile, the result is that the central segment is full of silly dialogues and famous film quotes. The final part is the one with all the action, where the monsters beat the shit out of each other and that's the best part of the movie.

I would say that reviews are as usual indicative, sometimes the audience agree with the critics, sometimes they don't. Sometimes the critics/audience are right, sometimes they are not. We'll see how it does at the box office, they need more than the US to call this film a success.

50 Name: Anon. : 2017-03-04 15:43 ID:nFvkXIpY

>>42>>44 They not only get fame by association but they also get fawning by association. The Hiddlestoners trip over themselves to praise the latest author or photographer - anyone most recently associated with TH. They also rush to follow the person on twitter. See what good fans we are!

51 Name: Heynon : 2017-03-04 16:33 ID:ZlA/bjVC

>>46 A couple of other reviews also didn't mention him at all. I wonder why the UK reviews trended more negative than the US ones? (There will be more US ones for next weekend's opening here, but more will be from outside the entertainment press.)

>>47 lol - so indirect that I missed that interpretation (I'm so used to our politicians dodging every question)! And the new "I'm only here to talk about the work" is ironic given his team's use of GQ to get the Official Personal Answer (TM) out about Tayto, in an article that barely mentioned any of his work.

>>49 Now he must know how Chris Hemsworth feels about Loki stealing every Thor movie.

Agree about the importance of the non-US box office. This review even calls out that "...it's almost painstakingly clear Skull Island wasn't made for a Western audience..." (scroll down to the section "This is a Global Film"): http://www.polygon.com/2017/3/2/14782556/kong-skull-island-review

52 Name: Heynon : 2017-03-04 16:36 ID:ZlA/bjVC

>>46 Oh, and what does it say about his role and/or performance that after Empire ran a huge spread on the film beforehand, heavily featuring TH, that they can't bother to include him in the review?

53 Name: Couch Potato : 2017-03-04 17:19 ID:Heaven

>>51 But GQ's profile was about him, not a film, it was a way of getting rid of the tayto questions prior to this promo tour. So what he said isn't ironic, it's consistent. For now.

I was thinking about money spent and box office yes, and to add to the review you posted (good review by the way), Legendary is now owned by China's Dalian Wanda, which is why you have Chinese actress Jing Tian as part of the cast. And because of the KongvsGodzilla they also needed bait for the Japanese audience, which is why you have Miyavi as part of the cast.

54 Name: Whatsinaname : 2017-03-04 19:07 ID:Efyef8Wk

>>46 They didn't have a problem with bad ISTL reviews because all but one praised Tom's acting to the hilt.

He's wearing a goddamn sombrero in Mexico. Looks like he should join a mariachi band. Really Thomas? Didn't he learn from 'tank-gate' not to randomly put on things thrust your way.

56 Name: Anon. : 2017-03-05 17:37 ID:+aW9U/6d

>>46>>49 I don't know if the nannies ever had it to lose.

I've only read The Guardian and The Tele's review. The Guardian was bringing both barrels. The Tele liked the movie but strangely said that nearly every character, even TH's, could have been left out without the plot suffering. Only BL's character was 'key' (probably because of the tank top). So if they're reblogging the Tele's review, they're not doing him any favors.

TH is probably practicing this line in the mirror: Honestly, I've always wanted to be in movie about a journey to an undiscovered island that got mixed reviews and made back its box office thanks to overseas markets.

57 Name: Anon. : 2017-03-05 17:44 ID:+aW9U/6d

>>55 Ha! I'm surprised Miss Yours Truly didn't put him in a mariachi suit for the RC. More: hasn't he learned anything after the GG speech. People will accuse him of cultural appropriation. ;)

This RC look is another miss for me. I'm not feeling the coral (?) shirt and tie contrast.

58 Name: Heynon : 2017-03-05 18:17 ID:ZlA/bjVC

>>55, >>57 From the video bits of the sombrero moment, his smile looks plastered on (especially the last one where he's turning away after having taken it off). He may be thinking "well, that's going to be all over the internet...."

>>55,57 In words he learns, but give him an adoring crowd and he forgets. He is back to his old habit, he stood there for 2 hours taking photos and signing stuff. Will he ever understand that that is the source of his fans entitlement? No. What will happen when he doesn't stay there for 2 hours at future premieres? A mess.

The coral shirt doesn't suit his complexion.

>>63 Ha. I was about to chastize you for taking the Lord's name in vain during Lent! Good thing I didn't.

>>20 I think I stumbled across this woman on IG. She posted a pic of her speaking to TH. In the pic, he's looking at her and listening patiently but you can maybe detect an urge to 'depart from the conversation' - as my MIL delicately puts it. I read the caption and she talked about her novel and getting TH to star in the movie adaption.

Those who saw her on Tumblr, is she rather busty and with an Irish and then Welsh name?

Apologies! This should stop the confusion.

67 Name: Hey you over there : 2017-03-05 23:19 ID:BgZs/rxn

>>63 ^ that was for you Anon.

68 Name: Heynon : 2017-03-05 23:23 ID:ZlA/bjVC

>>65, >>20 Yes, that woman looked busty in that Tumblr pic. I don't remember the name, and can't re-find her post. He did have that polite-mask look in the pictures there.

69 Name: Anon : 2017-03-05 23:51 ID:JdqnTY+R

>>65 Positive ID.

She was busty but he very evidently had no desire to look down her cleavage.

I once was presented to the Queen (true story!) and among my little group was one lady who thought that HMQ actually cared about her phd. She spoke without drawing breath about rock formations in Bogota (or whatever it was) for two or three agonising minutes while the Queen shunted uneasily from one sensible shoe to the other. Eventually the rock person paused for a millisecond and the Queen said desperately "Well!" At this point her equerry bodily dragged her away.

Anyway, HMQ's expression was just like TH's expression in this photo.

And it's hardly surprising he wanted to run. Almost all fanfiction seems to revolve around the premise that Tom has sexytimes with someone strongly resembling the author!

Aaaaaand he posted the sombrero photo to his IG. We can just be thankful that he didn't dance.

>>66 Welcome. And you've already figured out the referencing system. It took me a week to do that.

You'll enjoy TH's latest IG post...him in the sombrero. He even captioned it in Spanish and added a tiny Mexican flag.

He should post a pic of him in the t-shirt and caption it with the lyrics to 'We Are Never Getting Back Together.' That IG post would make me go see Kong.

73 Name: Anon. : 2017-03-06 00:52 ID:+aW9U/6d

>>71 Jinx. Same time too!

>>68>>69 I asked because her IG is full of TH, even has a Loki t-shirt. At this point, he can probably sense those types of fans. His spidey sense would have been tingling.

74 Name: Heynon : 2017-03-06 01:16 ID:ZlA/bjVC

>>73 Our spidey senses told us he's embarrassed himself again somehow.

>>72 Or perhaps this shirt instead: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CmgZuPbWEAAUOKU.jpg

Tom's Kong radio interview w Australian radio, commenting that he is not afraid of being mentioned in a Swift song. Says that they are friends, but he sounds a bit chilly, that they brought up his peronal life. Part 1 is there as well.

>>75 I guess the GQ article didn't reach these two. I love, LOVE that the Australian media just does not give a fuck about playing games. Remember those tv reporters hanging outside the hotel asking him about TS? Does this mean that Luke or Luke's stand-in isn't vetting questions or topics? Why aren't more people taking advantage of this?

Also love that they call him 'Tommy' and reference 'Johnny Goodman' and 'Sammy L.'

77 Name: Hey you over there : 2017-03-06 05:08 ID:BgZs/rxn

>>75 >>76 waves Aussie flag high I'm sure the article made it to them, they would have laughed, thought it was complete nonsense and asked whatever they wanted regardless. We're not know for sticking to the rules and TH is too media polite to just not answer. Other celebs would just say no, but as mentioned >>62 image rehab is a-happening.

78 Name: Sosorry : 2017-03-06 05:09 ID:BhrzIqQY

>>76 >>75 Wow, the audio file of Tom mentioning Swift on the radio has been deleted! Will it reappear in an edited form? Was it the power of Kong? Did the American PR team step in to actually do PR? If they did, parabens!

Sadly, the talented Brie Larson had her phone hacked, and her intimate photos were released to the world. Unfortunate, b/c she's a talented woman. I think that Brie's stylist just knows how to work the bust tape, and padding, and those are skills that must be revealed to the world, IMO. Brie has an Oscar, and has been repeatedly told by casting directors that she was too much of a girl next door and not pretty enough to play leads. So I think she's just trying to have fun by roping in more fanboys for Kong and Captain Marvel. She looks great.

79 Name: Hey you over there : 2017-03-06 05:23 ID:BgZs/rxn

81 Name: Couch Potato : 2017-03-06 07:14 ID:Heaven

>>78 I don't understand how Brie's leak is relevant (it was her iCloud account not iPhone), it happened in 2015. Besides she was told those things at castings before she won her Oscar, and during Oscar campaign she made a big deal of telling the world how she didn't give in to those requests, she went as far as saying "winning an Oscar allowed me to burn that miniskirt". I don't get your point, of course Brie can dress as she likes.

82 Name: Sosorry : 2017-03-06 08:00 ID:BhrzIqQY

For some reason the British press were giving Brie a really hard time over her outfits, because she wore a low neck jumpsuit at 7pm. There were multiple articles about it for some reason. I was just trying to be supportive of her, and I said she looks great, and that I think she has a lovely fashion taste, and a natural figure. I was just suggesting that she's having fun dressing in a more overt way now on red carpets, and I'm sure the fanboys appreciate it. Her earlier looks were more subtle, but she always looks great. The Brits need to relax.

84 Name: Couch Potato : 2017-03-06 08:12 ID:Heaven

>>82 I see, I was missing the UK press part.

>>83 Yeah I know, that's why I was saying that it's curious, they keep up the article but they deleted the files.

>>78 Often clips that are getting a lot of plays are taken off secondary sites so that traffic is sent to the 'home' site. I don't think it's a PR matter.

>>81>>82. Brie can dress as she likes, all would agree. But if she's going to get her baps out, it's expected the British - and most western - media outlets will focus on them. 'Sexy' dressing will, right or wrong, always come in for extra mention and scrutiny...probably wrongly.

Maybe Miss Yours Truly will give us TH in a deep V and Brie will get caught looking at his baps. Equalite.

90 Name: NewAnon : 2017-03-06 20:54 ID:a5CbPO7S

>>87 the cracks are starting to show. He got a little snippy in his Telegraph interview but then true to form he had to go and be extra about privacy lol yeah Tom you really should have thought through this whole summer of romance thing. Here's the link. The super smart one posted since the article is a premium one:

91 Name: Anon. : 2017-03-06 21:17 ID:UOG+qBvg

>>89 The true comedy will come when one of them ends up humping the other's leg mid-interview. Because that's what those two are headed for.

>>90 This seems to be part of the roundtable interview done when he was last in LA, the one that gave us the 'I'm taking a break to find myself' story before the UK premiere. We had one of these for ISTL that produced a variety of 'shades' in his answers and how they were reported. It will be interesting to see what else comes out of this interview.

How much do you want to bet that the snippiness is rooted in the GQ article not working like he and his team wanted it to work? It will be like Tayto: doesn't regret the action, just regrets the outcome not being successful.

As to being entitled to a private life, I will direct him to Bond, James Bond: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/8923078/Daniel-Craig-celebrities-who-speak-about-private-lives-should-not-expect-privacy.html

We had this article up during the early days of Tayto. It still holds water. He's used his private life - albeit a manufactured one - for publicity. So that ship has sailed, Tommy.

92 Name: Anon : 2017-03-06 22:12 ID:JdqnTY+R

>>91 I think you're right: some of this is from a group session - and some is from very old interviews (the boarding school as Harry Potter, the quote about prince William being busy).

New: 2 Avengers films in 2018? Speculation or derived from something he said?

93 Name: Anon. : 2017-03-06 22:30 ID:UOG+qBvg

>>92 He would have never said that he had parts in the next two Avengers films. He knows better than to give away spoilers. Think she's inferring that from the known Marvel schedule.

94 Name: Heynon : 2017-03-06 23:38 ID:ZlA/bjVC

>>90 Don't you wish that when Himself snapped "“What should I regret, in your mind?” the interviewer had started to list some things? Or responded "How long do you have?"

>>91, >>92 The interview does mention being in a hotel suite, and that TH is all in black, which he wasn't for the panel interview in LA. I suspect some of the familiar answers were him recycling verbiage. (There must be parts of interviews that he can do on absolute autopilot.) Though the quote about seeing Prince William "a few years back" might have been lifted.

95 Name: Heynon : 2017-03-06 23:48 ID:ZlA/bjVC

>>91 I'll take that bet, especially because the interviewer was a guy this time. No cute young female being all "oh you were so HONEST in that article - thank you for sharing!"

Here's also betting that the JH/TH hugging tomorrow will be epic. (Yes, that's hugging, not humping!)

96 Name: NewAnon : 2017-03-07 02:08 ID:a5CbPO7S

>>91 I wonder if the Telegraph reporter was told "interview over" once he asked the dreaded question about summer and was kicked out and maybe that's why it seems like some parts are a cut and paste job because it quite literally might be lol

>>94 oh! That would have been hilarious! The reporter should have listed the rocks, the TS tank, those gray shoes, the holey sweatpants, not jumping into the ocean and swimming for freedom on his daily runs in Oz, sitting next to Taylor at MET and dancing with her.

Tbh I'm getting quite fed up of this privacy lament of his. He sounded like a conceited fool when he gave that long answer about privacy. It reminded me of the "everyone has a camera phone these days". He needs to stop pointing fingers at the media as the bad guy when him and his girlfriend clearly sent a hand calligraphed RSVP invite and made deals with all the major agencies and outlets.

97 Name: NewAnon : 2017-03-07 03:07 ID:a5CbPO7S

Tom at an Ed Sheeran concert today: http://okiejess1208.tumblr.com/post/158092049888/wealreadyhome-tom-and-ed-tonight

I don't know what to make of this except it looks a bit thirsty and looks like he's trying to keep his association with Taylor in the chatter for as long as he can.

98 Name: Heynon : 2017-03-07 03:41 ID:ZlA/bjVC

>>91, >>96 In re-reading that interview, the snippiness may indeed have coming from the GQ article not working out as planned, because he evidently didn't expect any follow-up questions! Further evidence - he sounds unhappy later in it about having to do the publicity tour now: ' "I understand that this is a big film and it’s part of my duty to stand in front of it and do interviews and go to premieres and meet people and that somehow goes with the territory,” he says as if to explain his presence in a Los Angeles hotel suite. “So I just try to be myself.” ' (Duty? Since he usually seems so enthusiastic on the press tours, I get the impression he might want to go back into hiding at this point....)

When I checked Tumblr earlier, there was a lot of reaction to the Telegraph and Aussie radio interviews with discussion happening in ALL CAPS. Just like with the GQ article, he's managed to get part of the fanbase feeling sorry for him, and another part washing their hands of him. Let's hope his LA agency reads him the riot act again and gets some professional PR staff on his case. And that he'll finally take some advice.

99 Name: Heynon : 2017-03-07 03:50 ID:ZlA/bjVC

On a lighter note, who is the man in these interviews and what has he done with TH? TH never sits with his legs crossed! (Unless called out on his manspreading by an interviewer first.)

>>94 'Which do you regret more: the showmance itself or that you involved your family?' All shit would have been lost. It would have pushed him to the edge honestly. I'm glad it didn't happen. It would only have led to more 2am tweeting. No one wants that.

>>96 Yeah. He's hurt his chances for true privacy or for a true separation between his private and professional lives. I wonder if the titling at the windmills of an intrusive press is him realizing that he's done just that. He's perhaps thinking if he says that the attention and paps were unwanted - and keeps saying it - then the press will believe him and let him be. But the press have seen through Tayto since day one. He can't Greta Garbo with them, they know better.

Worse, his cries for privacy are prime pickings for gossip sites. This will be on Celebitchy tomorrow and may even make an appearance on Dlisted. Here's ONTD: http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/105345615.html
The intro is particularly snarky.
