Video game movies scare me. Historically, they’re not successful. There have been a few modest wins here and there, but mostly they’re bad bets, costing way too much and earning little, and not one has ever equaled the kind of critical acclaim their comic book-based cousins are capable of achieving. Full Story

Cornball. Can’t believe I wrote that. Moving on. Easily one of the most anticipated movies of the year, I know a lot of you have been all over Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. I haven’t been that anxious for it, which is weird, because the cast is pretty much a bunch of people I wholeheartedly support. Full Story

Someone must have had a good night’s sleep. How old is Jackson? Do they get through the night without waking up at that age? Because Charlize Theron looked super fresh tonight in London at the Prometheus premiere. I don’t love the sparkly dress on its own. But clothing tends to become something different when she wears it. Full Story

The Tom Cruise Playboy article is insightful in its lack of insight. Michael Fassbender just doesn’t have that level of control yet. He’s not a machine. Michael Fassbender, rather, right now at least, seems to be all instinct and impulse. When he’s interviewed then, it’s more than just a fluff piece. Full Story

P Diddy, Alex Rodriguez, Justin Timberlake, Jared Leto...We’ve established that Cameron Diaz has a type right? She loves assholes; they break her heart. Then Gwyneth Paltrow has to put it back together. Who’s next?Well, Cam’s about to get to work on a movie called The Counselor starring Michael Fassbender. Full Story

It was reported the other day that Angelina Jolie was considering a cameo in an upcoming Ridley Scott movie starring Michael Fassbender called The Counselor. I wrote at the time (click here for a refresher) that it was a tabloid dream come true, driving Michael’s considerable girth between the Jolie and Brad Pitt. Full Story

Are you ready for it? Apparently Angelina Jolie and her “hypnotic vagina”, as Michael K from Dlisted calls it, will be in a movie with Michael’s massive Fassbender. According to Vulture, the film is to be directed by Ridley Scott, called The Counselor, and the Jolie is currently negotiating for a cameo. Full Story

Michael Fassbender worked with Nicole Beharie in Shame. Today they were photographed together looking friendly in New York. Perhaps the rumours are right and there’s more to it. Sorry I can’t manufacture any more enthusiasm for him. I just...care a lot less about Michael Fassbender these days since discovering his pants problem Full Story

It certainly looks like it, doesn’t? Bad pants and all.Check out these shots of Michael Fassbender, clearly having enjoyed a few, after the A Dangerous Method premiere after party last night in London. Sorry to keep on it but I really, really think he should do something about the jeans. It’s terribly distracting. Full Story

Let’s address the superficial first. Michael Fassbender visited Letterman last night. Here are a few shots of him arriving. Those jeans... are really, really not working for me. Those jeans, they’re almost leggings hitched up to his waist, right? If I had any boner for Fassy, and, as noted the other day, it hasn’t been easy to find, the way he’s wearing his jeans would have killed it. Full Story

I love the beaded high collar of her dress. And the rest of it was... OK. Mostly though, I just wonder why such little fanfare. Jessica Chastain, of course, doesn’t go around hungrily begging for it - like the Jessicas Alba and Biel - but at the same time, after this great year, people still don’t seem to really. Full Story

Michael Fassbender collected the Spotlight Award last night at the NBR. Well it’s about time. I feel like Fassy’s lost a little momentum. You’ll recall, he was not nominated for a SAG. And with the race so tight this year, even though he deserves to be included, I don’t know that he’ll make it to the final five when Jennifer Lawrence calls out the names on January 24th. Full Story

Ewan McGregor and Michael Fassbender are both in Haywire. Also Channing Tatum, if that’s your thing. And Michael Douglas. And Antonia Banderas. Directed by Steven Soderbergh. I know, right? What is happening here??? Last night was the LA premiere. Everyone showed up...but Fassy. And you know what? I’m ok with that. Full Story

Dear Michael Fassbender…2011 was a huge year for you. After flirting with the edge since 2008, 2011 is when you went global. 2012 is poised to be more of the same, with Haywire next month, and Prometheus in the summer, and filming 12 Years a Slave with Steve McQueen. Full Story
