NOW YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION
Graduate Student at Loyola University Chicago.
I love movies, Broadway shows, television, HBO, Magazines, and cooking.
Check out the blog for what I'm currently obsessed with in film and culture. Michael Fassbender, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Winslet, Christian Bale, Jesse Eisenberg, David Lynch, David Fincher, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, and Daniel Radcliffe are regulars here.
In other news, Michael Fassbender is single. I’m mailing myself to his address.
David’s Bar could be called “Cocktails and (I watch your) Dreams”
See what I did there…
Revisiting one of my favorite Fassy stories.
“Yeah, it was so strange. I think he was called Prince. We had a pretty interesting bond! Every time I got on him some strange stuff was happening downstairs. So we’d have to get the horse handler – that doesn’t mean what you think it means – and he would get on Prince and take him for a trot down the road and, err, it would go back to its normal residency! Rochester and his horse, they spend a lot of time together I suppose!”
-Michael Fassbender
If this man mounted you and started riding you, you’d have the same damn reaction. Poor horse. The man’s sex appeal knows no bounds.
Remember those stories about Fassy arousing those horses during Jane Eyre filming? Just in case you forgot.

Lynn Hirschberg’s Screen Test: Charlize Theron & Michael Fassbender
I love these two. Their photo shoot in W Magazine is so hot it burned my eyes.
Part Two of Charlie Rose interview with Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace.
Love this interview, lots of additional information about the film and these great actors.
I want to call your attention to 9:50 where Charlie Rose says the following statement
“So you [Rapace] come from this notion of being been Lisbeth and he [Fassbender] comes as sort of the sexist actor alive… right from “Shame”’
Charlie Rose believes Michael Fassbender is the “sexist actor alive.”
Has Charlie Rose ever told a lie? I think not. This is invaluable data.
From now on, when people ask who the sexist actor alive is, I will say “Charlie Rose says it’s Michael Fassbender and I totally agree.”
Spoiler Alert.
I really like this scene. David is just beginning to muck things up on the ship. It this moment, you’re totally on his side though. Charlie is being so condescending and dismissive of David, while also being destructively idealistic. Two qualities that do not champion humanity.
Vulture- otherwise known as an Internet representation of my every thought- had a great little story of one entertainment writer’s encounter with the outside world.
But over the weekend, this writer mentioned Michael Fassbender in passing to a group of friends, only to find that no one in the conversation even recognized his name. You know, the handsome guy in the arty naked movie, we prompted. Blank stares. Nothing. Frankly, we were stunned.
What does this mean? How do you not know Michael Fassbender- center of my universe? The writer continues.
Baffled, this writer convened the bloggers at Vulture HQ to help administer a highly unscientific poll, in which we asked random friends, family members, and baristas the simple question: “Do you know who Michael Fassbender is?” The results were shocking (and really pretty fun)! “I don’t think so. Who is it?” “I don’t know. Can I Google now?” “Only that he’s that guy from the movie with the penis. I don’t think I would recognize him.” The more “no”s we got, the more people we contacted, and the answers were strangely consistent: Our non-blogger acquaintances are not at all familiar with the wonderful Irish thespian Michael Fassbender. Not his acting, not even his penis.
There is truly something wrong with the media if there are living souls who do not know Michael Fassbender.
Do you know who Michael Fassbender is? Do your friends, co-workers, and relatives?

› Michael Fassbender magazine covers
Aly Semigran at Hollywood.com wrote a funny little accounting of all the dotting and sensual prose writers use to describe Michael Fassbender. Look at these magazine covers and it’s easy to see why.
Michael Fassbender Melts Writers’ Brains with His Hotness: The 5 Craziest Examples
In the May issue of Vogue (which features fellow jaw-dropping stunner Scarlett Johansson on the cover, so there’s really something for everybody) Fassbender is described as being so damn hot that “he sucks all the air out of the room, mesmerizing even the preschoolers in strollers.” That’s right, not even babies can resist the chiseled good looks of Fassy. “His voice is as deep and gravelly as Harrison Ford’s, his carriage as upright and intense as Daniel Day-Lewis’s, the blue/green/gray eyes as attention-grabbing as Paul Newman’s,” she goes on to write about the Prometheus star, noting that the women in the cafe where they were conducting their interview were staring at him so intently she became “unhinged.” (And you guys thought Ryan Gosling was making your life difficult.)
But Vogue is hardly the first publication to go absolutely gaga for the Shame star. Here’s some other times when Robo-Fass has caused writers to meltdown in his very presence:
1. GQ named Fassbender one of the Men of the Year for 2011 and noted in their piece on him that, “women pass out in movie theaters when the actor comes on-screen” and argued that the actor “is so handsome that it’s almost tacky.”
2. British GQ warned about their February cover lad: “If your girlfriend/wife/partner significant other doesn’t already want to sleep with Michael Fassbender, she will at any moment.”
3. W magazine put Fassy on their cover as well (along with some revealing photos on the inside – bonus!) and alerted readers that, “Though in person Fassbender’s blue eyes contain mischief and an infectious lightness, they mask what is often a brooding, secretive darkness on film, along with a startling intensity.”
4. UK’s Company magazine swooned that Fassbender “looks exactly like he does on-screen – angular and handsome. He has the sculpted features of a 1940s matinee idol, and those lovely Irish blue-grey eyes…OMG those eyes!”
5. Entertainment Weekly declared Fassbender “your next obsession” and said he “comes across on screen and off as a rakish throwback to a long-lost generation of bad-boy actors like Peter O’Toole andRichard Burton — macho men who seem to know their way around the barroom and the bedroom. And if that isn’t enough, there’s also this: He knows how to make an entrance.”
What’s craziest (albeit accurate) thing you’ve ever read about Michael Fassbender? Was it the time his Jane Eyre co-star Mia Wasikowska said even the horses on set got a little horny around him? How would you be able to describe him, besides, of course “homina-homina-homina”? Just try to!

MICHAEL FASSBENDER COVERS THE JUNE 2012 ESQUIRE UK
“Our June cover star is really enjoying his moment.
It’s been a hell of a few years for the 34-year-old having risen from relative obscurity to become one of the most talked about actors of his generation – with a whole new world of opportunities thrown in.
“It would be wrong of me to say that I don’t get seduced by certain things. That things don’t become tempting,” he admits.
“The thing is I don’t like to filter my behaviour, but I have a feeling that might be the case now…I don’t want to be in the newspapers. I just want to keep what I do on screen and that’s it.”
With a long list of recent credits including a starring role in Ridley Scott’s forthcoming sci-fi blockbuster Prometheus, Fassbender is now enjoying a self-imposed hiatus as he looks to the next phase in his career.
The next thing is to develop, make your own stories with writers, gather a pool of creative people and develop stuff. So it’s not the fact that I’m waiting for someone else to hire me or I’m waiting for a really good script to arrive, I’m actually trying to make that script.”
