"Him, I Believe"
Fox Searchlight acquiring Steve McQueen's Shame meant that it would be out sometime in November or December, so yesterday's FS announcement that the film, which costars Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan, will open is on 12.2.11 was...well, it was fine but it didn't exactly quicken my pulse because I knew it was coming.

Is the music in that subway clip in the actual film? It's kind of schlocky and reminds me of your John Williams comment a few posts down.

Does that mean wide? If not then it won't hit most cities until January.

Alright, I can't wait to see this, but... come ON.
Fucking Fassbender in this interview DROPPING THE KNOWLEDGE about sex addiction, like it's some serious thing, like he isn't a noted world-class pussyhound. "Sex addiction." Otherwise known as "the ability to have sex." Funny how the movies about sex addiction are always about guys who look like Michael Fassbender fingering supermodels on the subway, or Rockwell fucking some LA 9 in a dank bathroom stall. For the Other 99%, "sex addiction" is more commonly known as "masturbating every day." Any Keith Gordon-as-Arnie Cuntingham-looking dweebs out there with Asperger's syndrome and a job at a canning factory who drive a 1978 Datsun have a SEX ADDICTION?
Come on, we know the director wanted to make this movie, and sure as shit know Fassbender wanted to act in it, because it's an ego thing-- hey,. a movie about some stud pulling hot vag everywhere he goes. I guess that's more fun to play than a dude with no limbs, and more fun to direct than some Jean-Pierre Gorin-ass documentary about dorks who build model trains. So don't pretend that it can in ANY WAY be hard-hitting or IMPORTANT... You can't -- CANNOT -- depict this kind of "tomcattery" (TM Wells) a) without making it looks awesome, and b) making every single viewer wishing THEY had a "sex addiction."
Everyone on earth has a sex addiction; Only a small percentage are rich or good looking enough to have sex.

Hey Lexg,
Do you know that Jean Pierre Gorin teaches down at UCSD? You should go sit in on a class and heckle him.

Ok, I really want to see this film. However, the director just put me off a bit. He's saying that any other actor other then Fassbender he "don't believe 'em"? And I suppose you only believe performances in that are in YOUR movies Steve. What a pompus twit.

Lex hit it with a bullseye. It was awesome when David Duchovny got busted for cheating on his wife, and suddenly it was all "Oh, uh, it's sex addiction! No, it's not my fault, because I have this disease that makes me fuck women, see!", from the set of his tv show where he (pretends to) bang hot chicks every day.
