You watch one commercial on YouTube

[giandujakiss]

featuring Michael Fassbender's naked ass, and suddenly every new "you might like" video suggestion is another random Fassbender snippet.

Thanks, YouTube!

...but is he naked in all of them? That is the burning question.

[giandujakiss]

I think we have to wait for Shame for that.

[saraht]

P.S. Is his ass as sprightly without support as it appears to be in XMFC?

[giandujakiss]

It looks very good indeed, but it's an ass from 2003 - everyone's ass was sprightly in 2003. (He's so young in this commercial that he's basically unrecognizable - I searched several times to confirm it was really him)

[kore]

MY GOD, he's so young! And that haircut! You can really see it's him in the cheekbones, tho. I would know those cheekbones in the dark. AHEM.

Mia, a foul-mouthed, stroppy fifteen-year-old, lives on an Essex estate with her tarty mother, Joanne, and precocious little sister Tyler. She has been excluded from school and is awaiting admission to a referrals unit and spends her days aimlessly. She begins an uneasy friendship with Joanne's handsome, extrovert Irish boyfriend, Connor, who encourages her one interest, dancing. What could go wrong?

....gosh, there goes MY morning.

Yeah, I watched a ... ahem .. scene on YT, which was ... ahem.

But like just about everything else Fassbender has done, the sexual power dynamics squicked me the hell out. Which is why I ask once again, why can't Michael Fassbender make a nice romcom?

[kore]

I just watched that very scene! It was VERY ahem. Oh man. NICE TO SEE YOU NAILING THAT ATTRACTIVE/REPULSIVE THING AGAIN, FASSY. So to speak. Oh it was so terribly squicky. Oh man.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=dU7oofOgNVc OMG you did not tell me he played the piano in Hex okay it's fake-playing BUT STILL ....and oh Lord "Do we have to pretend you have a choice?" ACK. ACK. But he's wearing eyeliner! And floating rose petals! I am conflicted!

[giandujakiss]

I'm pretty sure I commented both on the eyeliner (possibly in allcaps) and on the rapeyness. I confess I did leave out the piano and the rose petals, though.

I am a SUCKER for musicians. Even fake ones. It is terrible.

WAIT, IT JUST GOT ALL STABBITY AND THEN IT WAS LIKE WATCHING THAT MUSIC VIDEO AGAIN. WTF FASSY.

Oh wait, I forgot, he was just in Jane Eyre! Which....kinda sucked, really. And he was just not convincing as Mr Rochester at all. No rape. But also no eyeliner. There is one really nice female-gaze-type shot of his ass in riding breeches as he desperately yells "JAAAAAAAANE" out a window, tho.

[giandujakiss]

I liked that Jane Eyre. But as far as my Fassbender needs are concerned, I enjoyed Timothy Dalton's Rochester more (which is in a way a more modern interpretation, which is probably why). Also, shallowly - muttonchops.

[kore]

I actually liked Timothy Dalton as Mr R too, but I didn't like that Jane. Argh, someone needs to make it possible to swap out stars -- isn't there supposedly already technology to do that? Heh.

Also, I was just reading about Shame. He CO-WROTE it? D:

[giandujakiss]

Seriously? Oh god, now I'm even more squicked.

[kore]

Oh wait, WAIT, apparently the producer and director cowrote it and I just really misread. ACK, sorry!

(I was sort of trying to read through my fingers. The LA Times was all "His troubled sister arrives! He goes down into some of the darkest places you’ll see in a theater! :DDD" and I was like OH, MAN, NO.)

[kore]

Hmm, maybe it's not that incesty. "male and female full-frontal nudity, graphic depictions of straight/gay/threeway sex, masturbation, urination and a gruesome suicide attempt." I love that urinating is in there. YOU WILL SEE PEE!

"Fassbender's lead performance, which potential buyers are undoubtedly eyeing as the key to any real awards success, required an extreme level of nudity, simulated sex and anguish."

Oscar bait? I guess? Sort of?
