Over the past five days, a crapload of new images, posters and magazine covers have been released to support and promote Thor: The Dark World. This is what happens when your star goes totally MIA for months of promotional work!! I’m talking about Chris Hemsworth. The only reason Chris hasn’t gotten more press for his lack of promotional work is because Tom Hiddleston has been going the extra mile to appease the fan-boys and fan-girls. The Dark World comes out November 8th… will Chris even come to the premieres?
And so in Chris’s absence, the producers have pretty much made Hiddleston/Loki EQUAL to Thor. For every magazine cover Thor gets, Loki must get a cover too. For every Thor poster, there must be a Loki poster. I mean… I guess it’s smart marketing. Hollywood is enamoured with Chris Hemsworth and they’re trying to make him into the next big thing, but Hiddleston is winning friends and influencing people by his eagerness to be a team player. Personally, I would rather see a movie about the inner workings of Marvel as they try to figure out who to put front and center during this promotional tour.
Here’s something I didn’t realize before now – Christopher Eccleston is the bad guy! He plays Malekith The Accursed. Not to be confused with Malekith The Falsely Accused But Really He’s A Good Guy. You can see more images from The Dark World here.
So, between Loki and Thor, Hiddles and Hemsworth, who would I rather bang? Chris has the better body, but I CAN’T with his face. I’m sorry. I can’t. So I would bang Hiddles. And I say that knowing that the foreplay would probably be three hours of him acting out various plays in between stories about his UNICEF work, and knowing full well that he would probably weep into his pillow after we banged. Ugh. Yeah. Maybe I will choose Thor.

I so wanted to say Hiddles, but Kaiser makes a convincing point.
Those posters are terrible, btw. The Loki ones look like tumblr fan art.
Nah tumblr creatures make even better posters than that though… Empire should have given his fandom the job instead!
+100!
They are both wearing too many clothes for a fair comparison.
However, given the images provided. it would be Loki.
Hiddleston AS Loki, that would be the most fun I think
Loki all the way. Both Thor and Chris are bland, physically and mentally.
yes, absolutely: Hiddleston as Loki.
Hemsworth of course because I’m over Tom. Though I like him as Loki because of the dark sinister look but once he opens his mouth and starts talking I will be reminded that it’s just Hiddles and lose my libido. Then again I could just shove a sock in his mouth and say STFU and handle your business.
Really both of them, and I dont mind if Tom talks the entire time. Tho I love Chris’s voice too, so we might have to gag Tommy for just a little bit.
Ok Anna I will remove the gag but if he even mutter the words UNICEF the sock is going back in.
Can I confess now that I read all his UNICEF posts and LOVED THEM???
Anna, I think his UNICEF blog is great, but his tweets need work. For starters, he should post his own thoughts and words and not just retweet or pieces.
Ok Anna I don’t mind the UNICEF tweets but I don’t want him talking or tweeting about it while he’s banging me up against his bedroom wall. Nor do I want him telling me what poem I should read or the song of the day. 🙂
V4, next time he uses his mouth in a way that doesnt suit you, just tell him to wait till it’s Anna’s turn to have her way with him 😉
Blah, you can have them. Neither one has ever made me the slightest bit quivery.
Both covers are terrible. Way to abuse photoshop, Marvel and Empire.
As for who I would rather: I will always pick Hiddleston.
Empire is known for overly photoshopping.
If we’re talking about how they look in the covers, neither. I don’t like any of them. And I wish TommyAnne could have had the class to tweet one of Hemsworth’s and let everyone else find his. Still, he worded his own UNICEF tweet t’other day, so perhaps my incessant whinging is doing some good.
Outside of the posters? TommyAnne. Gagged, of course.
And miss out on his talented tongue? NEVER.
He is listening, Sixer. I don’t doubt for a minute that he reads everything that is about him.
Hiddles: go to your computer RIGHT NOW and tweet Hemsworth’s poster.
And a picture of you in your French Maid’s outfit. We know you have one.
Yes! My god, if he started posting pictures of himself in his real wardrobe (I like the half chomped candy floss Marie Antoinette wig myself) his Twitter follow would be epic.
Hiddles! Are you listening? It is time to show your fans what’s in the Other Closet.
I want, I want, I want, I WANT the photo of you in your Puddleglum outfit, Tommy-omelette. If you do that for me, I’ll let you take the gag out. For a month.
Hemsworth, always Hemsworth. But if I were going to hit it with Hiddles, he would have to be dressed as Loki.
^THIS!
Well if I HAD to pick, then of course Chris, always and forever, before and after I marry him to death. But Tommy can ALWAYS come and play in my playhouse.
+ 1000
There are so many things I could teach Thor. Loki could use some instruction, too. Come here, toys.
Go easy on the photoshop Marvel!
That last one is awful, it looks like the work of a student trying to figure Adobe out.
I think Hiddles is purposefully turning up the camp.
wow that’s really George W Bush. So similar looking.
OMG STOP YOU ARE KILLING ME! And my lady-boner!
I refuse to believe that *anyone* would put these two men next to each other and then choose Hiddleston. I’m not even all that into Hemsworth, but the man is beautiful. Hiddleston looks like an average dude on the street, except when he’s Loki when he looks super creepy. No thanks.
The Hiddles attraction begins a few feet south of his face.
*snort*
I notice they are allowing the crotch to show for this round of costuming…. Well done.
I would. Any day. Tom is annoying, but I find him much more attractive, his voice is great, he can look interesting and he seems like a guy you can have a conversation with.
Chris is pretty boring as a person, his looks a re boring too. Classic boring pretty boy with muscles. Next.
I really like how both of them kiss in movies.
I don’t like blondes or surfer dudes.
I do like brunettes, English accents, lit-nerds and tall skinny types.
So obviously my vote is for Hiddles, but only with dyed hair.
Dark hair really does suit him.
I appreciate the skinny, but am I the only one who is a bit alarmed by how skinny he is lately? Is this for the role or is he going all manorexic?
Lit nerds all the way for me….
Speaking of lit-nerds … Norse-myth thread jack!
I read A.S. Byatt’s Ragnarok. I liked the “thin child” device. Nice way to combine a fairly straight re-telling of the myths with an exploration of how they related to her life.
I was surprised by the focus on natural biology (I haven’t read anything else by her). I would’ve accepted it as a biography of a famous biologist, rather than an a famous author. Actually made me feel like I should be out wandering through a meadow (it was raining, and I’m in a city, so that didn’t happen, but it made me THINK about doing it.)
It’s on my Kindle, waiting. I’m not working next week, so it’s on my list for then. Looking forward to it actually.
For a – very literary – sense of place and nature, I’d recommend Jim Crace’s Harvest from this year’s Booker list. Short, poetic, not sure it really goes anywhere. But it’s beautiful.
Lucrezia, did I tell you I also bought Journey into Mystery?
I have not read Ragnarok yet, but it is on my desk waiting. Based on what you say, I would highly recommend both Possession and Morpho Eugenia. And yes she draws heavily on biology and science in general in her work.
Sixer, I will definitely look up Harvest!
If you guys are liking Byatt, do you also like Margaret Atwood? If so, big shout out for Oryx and Crake.
@Sixer: Handmaid’s Tale. Definitely need more Atwood.
C&C – Yes, I saw that you’d bought it. I’m waiting (im)patiently for you to finish it and give your verdict on kid!Loki. 🙂
I first heard of Handmaid’s Tale earlier this year (on some other random internet site). I glanced at it on wiki, and wasn’t sure. But you guys are giving decent recommendations (yay!), so it’s next up on the list.
Honestly, I’m not sure how I missed it previously. I read mainly SciFi (Spec-Fi?), so it sounds like it’d be right up my alley. I was too young when it was first released, but if it’s decent, I would’ve thought I’d have heard about it some time in the last 20 years!
Most of my “new finds” come from book-loving friends who happen to be male. Perhaps it was a little too feminine or feminist for their taste? There are several female SciFi/Fantasy authors that have a distinctly female tone (e.g., Marion Zimmer Bradley, or some of the Anne McCaffrey stuff). I tend to appreciate those authors more than the boys do.
I love Handmaid’s Tale. If we’re back to dystopia, I’d recommend another Crace – The Pesthouse. It’s interesting politically – he’s a Brit with leftie tendencies but it’s set in a post-apocalyptic US. He’s said he intended extending critiquing metaphors but ended up writing almost a hymn to the pioneer spirit (the narrative is almost a reverse of the original pioneer journey, back to the sea a la McCarthy’s The Road).
@Esti:
Then judging by the replies you’re in for a surprise. Hemsworth’s looks are his only forte. He’s never once come across as anything other than a bland pretty-boy. Not even a talented actor. Hiddleston’s acting chops may be open for discussion as well, but at least the man tries, in everything. And I really don’t get why that’s a bad thing. His try-hardiness is nowhere near the douchestastic/ vapid/ selfabsorved/ desperate/ skeevy/ clueless levels of the likes of Justin Timberlake/ Miley Cyrus/ Lady Gaga/ Madonna/ Rihanna/ Goop. And sure, all those people are way more famous than him, but why in hell should that excuse their behaviour?
Chris Hemsworth doesn’t look beautiful to me, he kind of just has a caveman face with tiny squinty eyes
Hemsworth looks sweet and nice, for a jock. You know? I think I’d like him. But hit it? Not for me.
ok does no one else see that tom as Loki looks like Rodney mara in geek drag. I m sorry if rodney stand next to him as loki I would be seeing doubles. Chris as Thor is so hot to me so Chris all the way.
Hiddles
I don’t get it. What’s wrong with Hemsworth’s face? He’s hot.
Nothing is wrong with it. It’s perfect. That jaw, those eyes…
What’s wrong with Hemsworth’s face? In normal mode, not Thor face.
I like Hiddles but he’d have to go back to his Wallender physique, I’m over the super lean look. Am I the only one who thinks he would not be weeping into his pillow afterwards? Oh no, I think he’d be rather pleased with himself and talking about…. anything probably.
I’d feel like putting a sock in it, so to speak. But that’s uninspired. I’m sure we could do better than that.
*looks furtively around in case Miss Jane is lurking*
To be fair, it’s a wee bit disproportionately small for his head.
How can you look at this face T.Fanty and say that! He’s too adorable…I melt!
http://thecinemafanatic.tumblr.com/post/59403516041/chris-hemsworth-in-indonesia
Marty, I think I might be open to a 3-way Hemsworth marriage!
Do you think Miss Jane might be tied up in her attic? She’s been missing awhile…
She’s setting up Place de Plume. You can probably google it.
I miss her. And Eve.
Yeah, but I get way more face- (and other parts-) time with CHarming in her absence 🙂
Oh you know I’m up for that marriage Anna. I would love having you as a wife! At least I know you would treat me and our husband right! 😀
Seriously though, hearing about all these people getting to meet him and ALL of them saying how sweet Chris is, it’s just making me love him more!
I’m the only one who think that in the first pic, Chris Hemsworth looks a little like Fassbender or it’s because I saw too much pics of him (my coworker is in loves with Fassbender)
Wow, that would be a toughy if I were really able to have one. I am not a fan of Hiddles, but I love him as Loki. But I think if I were taking one for a round in bed, it would have to be the Hems. I think he’s gorgeous. He does Foxtel (pay TV in Australia) ads and every time one comes on I just have to stop and watch, he is just so yum. I suspect in RL he would be one gorgeous bloke.
TOM!! Seriously? Oh God–I’d kneel for him anyday!
This. This. And also This.
Can I amend my answer? I want Tom, in Loki’s leather, with the huffiness of Magnus, and the “taking-me-down-the-pub-ness” of DBS Freddie. Plus, maybe the sassi capris for me to laugh at if he tries to whip out his weepy Caius Martius.
You actually want the capris?
Since you’re obviously temporarily insane, can I talk you into also taking the hideous vinyl black/brown jacket … the one that comes with the potted plant? (You have to take the pot-plant too. It looks heavy, so you can borrow Thor if you need a hand moving it.)
I think I need them in my arsenal against his self-importance. When he starts lecturing me on the importance of understanding poor people, I can insist he does so in the sassi capris. At least that way, I’ll have a little entertainment. (and an excuse to undress him. For his own good)
Lucrezia, I see we had the same thoughts about the plant. Setting truly matters, doesn’t it?
Yep. Setting matters. I actually have no strong feelings on the sassy capris because every time I try to look at them I get distracted by that Escher-esque red wallpaper.
I keep trying to figure out which part of the loop is the inside, making it about 3 or 4 squares and getting confused.
Tessellations drive me bonkers.
I’m worried about you ladies. I go off for an hour’s plum tree repair (a branch fell off, I kid you not, and the one with most fruit on) and I come back to sassy capris and rubber plants being taken seriously.
Next you’ll be telling me you take the prison visit essay – complete with its surprised that poor people have firing synapses at all – seriously.
No sassy capris in these ‘ere parts. The gag suffices. When I need the tongue, I just get my taser out and wave it around. It does the trick.
Prison essay what now?
And how can we not take the sassy capris seriously? He does. Plus, I fancy a man who voluntarily dresses like this:
http://cumberbum.tumblr.com/post/59299396682/cumberbatchweb-benedict-cumberbatch-and-stephen?utm_campaign=SharedPost&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=TumblriOS
If I had a rubber plant handy, I would beat my darling Drunk Uncle about the head with it until he realized that ski boots do not go with a tweed jacket and tie (although on the upside, he didn’t try to match it with a hat).
@TFanty, I think we must give him a pass on those boots. If I’m seeing the logo right, those are Alpine Stars motorcycle boots, so I’d like to believe he wore a matching black leather over-suit and black full face helmet and BLACK LEATHER GLOVES on a black bike on his way to and from the event…but he probably got distracted by how hot he looked in black leather gloves and forgot to pack his street shoes. It happens. 🙂
While I accept the logic of that argument, I still personally believe that he just thought it was a really neato idea.
@ Fanty

PS: I left you a reply on the Hardy post. All is well.
Oh no. I read the first two lines of this and I don’t know if I have the stomach to go further.
He does love his Bono, doesn’t he?
@Sixer: Where O where did you stumble upon this pile of…. oh my God. The Bono references, everything. This is… this is…. Words escape me…. We need no longer speculate on his seemingly sheltered childhood. This is about as sheltered as it gets.
O.o
@ Fanty – only wimps fail to finish a single page of text. It’s required reading.
@ C&C – I confess. It was a tumblr adoration post.
Honestly though, it’s just so perfect, isn’t it? Funny, painful, gushing, try-hard, wordy, annoying. All magnified by adolescence.
@Sixer: then you are going to love his picture in this post:
http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/76768299.html
(I tried to link to just the picture but wasn’t able to. Oh and, C&C speaking here: I’m reverting back to my old CB name!)
What is it with all the Bono references?
He really truly wants to be a rock star doesn’t he?
*shakes head*
I like this name, Miss J! Haha @ picture. I would say poor little Tommy-omelette, but any attention is good, right?
Only if those sassy capris come with the clumpy platform shoes and he strikes that same pose he did next to the rubber tree plant.
I wouldn’t mind being sandwiched:-)
I think they both look odd. But to those who say chris is boring, at least he treats his women right (whether she derserves it ir not). TommyAnnE is a player and I can’t understand why women want to date him given his past treatment of Girlfriends. I actually feel sorry for the poor cow he’s dating and treating like dirt now. No doubt she’ll think she can change him (which by men like him I doubt)
Is he dating in any real way? That always struck me as fwb. I think he does hookups for the most part. Word from Datalounge is that he cruises constantly and is really obvious about it.
Btw, please lets not call any woman a “cow,” unless she has really done something to earn that.
I suspect TH is dating Claire McKinley, an assist to the Marvel production execs. Lives in London.
You would think it’s only a matter of time then, before he’s the subject of a kiss and tell or something similar.
What is your source browniecakes?
I can’t see that he treats women THAT badly. Nobody in his circle ever says mean things about him. It’s only we Celebitches who do that. Much as he gets on my nerves much of the time, I don’t believe this about TommyAnne.
C&C: hereabouts, “poor cow” isn’t derogatory. While hardly a classy thing to say, it’s used as a sympathetic, almost sisterly expression.
I would not take what you read on Datalounge as gospel.
It’s all posted by the same person pretending to be different people: in some posts he is “someone in the industry”, in others, “friends with someone in the industry”, and later, “friends with someone who went to school with Tom at RADA”.
It’s the same story over and over again, from the same guy. Probably an out of work actor, or someone he turned down!
That poster has been called out, repeatedly. That troll-dar thing is cool.
Sixer: Noted, you cow! 🙂
I agree about Hiddles. If he treated any woman badly, we sure as hell would be hearing about it. I think he’s just a playboy: and lets all please note, there are plenty of women out in the world who are just fine with that.
I criticize TommyAnnE for all kinds of things, but a little balance is in order.
I googled Claire McKinley btw. She has a picture with Hemsworth and Hiddles, but it doesn’t say GF to me. She is tiiiiiiinnnnnnyyyy. That’s all I found. I suppose anything is possible. I envy her job– sounds like a major load of work, but it also sounds fun.
Miss Melissa: DL is a veritable train wreck. Lipstick Alley seems to be mostly exploding ovaries. All the smart dish is here on CB.
@ C&C
“Cow” = bad.
“Poor cow” = sympathy.
I’ll have you speaking estuary English in no time!
Hi C&C: Just a hunch about Claire. Here’s a picture. Cute huh? Looks like Susannah.
http://talkofdatown.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/chris-hemsworth-claire-mckinley-tom-hiddleston.jpg
Picture is from May I believe. He befriended her on Twitter very recently – the kiss of death. Stop doing that Tom. She has locked down her social media in advance of Hurricane Stans.
Ahhhhhhhh! A locked down twitter account! Sure giveaway.
On the other hand, I think any wan he is seen with is wise to lock down.
I don’t think he treats his girlfriends badly, but I do suspect he’s a cheat. At the very least, he’s too flirty for his current/ex girlfriend’s peace of mind.
Time will tell.
I really don’t think Tom Hiddleston’s love life is as glamorous as everyone makes it out to be. He’s definitely not a playboy. Playboys are so debonair and so sexy and cocky in the perfect amount that you can’t help but be drawn to them. If Hiddleston was like that, we’d all be swooning over him without a doubt instead of calling him try hard and needy and dorky. Hiddleston doesn’t seem to have nearly 1/4 of the charisma and charm and confidence that playboys exude. Jesus, just hear his laugh.
Plus, playboys never hide the fact that they are playboys. Their public appearances always have a gorgeous woman on their arm. Always. Like bombshell gorgeous. They flaunt their status as a playboy and hiding their girlfriends? Yeah, right. As if. And definitely no appearances with sisters, ever. Those Arab oil tycoons who are constantly crowding up Sunset Blvd on weekends with two women on each arm, they are playboys. I guess a more relevant example would be fictional Tony Stark. Is Hiddleston like that?
I’m sure the guy casually dates, and that is not playboy status. Goes on a couple of dates with women he finds entertaining (but not interesting), enjoys their company then goes back to work. Tons of people whose careers are a first priority are like that.
I’m not armchair analyzing him. I don’t need to. Having seen and read his interviews and his interactions with co-stars and fans, he seems pretty average with no strong magnetism.
And Claire McKinley’s twitter account has been on lockdown way before Hiddleston started following her. So that’s definitely the wrong bar to use to measure who he’s dating.
If I was going to use his twitter account to figure out who he’s dating (and I just did), I’d say that Elizabeth Hughes is a better guess than Claire McKinley.
She’s a production assistant like Claire but she likes running and movies like Hiddleston. Physically, she also looks like someone who’d catch Hiddleston’s eye. Unless her PA means personal assistant but that makes no sense to put as your twitter bio without saying who you’re assisting.
Or he’s not dating either since his recent interview said he’s learning his Coriolanus lines and he just started following the management company for Donmar so I think he’s working (omg Hiddleston is working? I think THAT’S news!) and not really chasing tail with any commitment. Probably just chasing his own tail, that cute overgrown man-boy.
@Portia: Crumpets & Crotchshots here. (I am going back to my old name, in case anyone is wondering).
When I say “Playboy,” I do not picture anyone with magnetism at all. I picture someone who simply has very superficial relationships and who, for whatever reason, prefers it that way.
This doesn’t have to include George Clooney levels of charisma. It could simply mean that he is not all that big of a hit with the ladies. Or simply that he doesn’t want the work of a real relationship. I suspect the latter. Some people compartmentalize their emotions very well.
But yeah, I don’t see him dating anyone on the A-list anytime soon.
@Miss Jupitero
Then I think you might using playboy wrong. By textbook definition or even colloquial, Hiddleston falls short and flat on his face.
You’re probably getting at casual dating which IS superficial and short lived, and doesn’t require any charisma, just the right timing at the right place to scratch an itch that just won’t do scratching by yourself.
I don’t think you’re wrong, we’re thinking the same thing, just used different words. I don’t believe he mistreats who he dates though or is a scumbag who cheats. If he did, then we wouldn’t be having the Hiddleston Dust Bowl since last year. Either that or Luke is a much better PR agent than he’s given credit for.
Going by what he’s said in interviews, his career is a priority for him and most who pursue their ambitions don’t want a serious relationship. They go out of their way to avoid one which is what I’m beginning to believe about Tom Hiddleston. But what do I know. He could craving a real relationship and not finding the right person *shrugs*
Browniecakes, wait, I thought he was still dating that chick with the ombre hair? Jane?
If he is onto his next conquest, he sure moves fast.
Sorry, I just can’t with Tom as Loki. As a character to watch in a movie, fantastic. But as someone to take home and tie to the bed? No, not for me. He looks too goth, too pale, too lipless, and my god, that forehead.
However, sunny strawberry blonde Tommyanna in a suit is always welcome.
And yes, those posters are terrible.
Same, he looks too “emo” for me as Loki, and the slicked back hair does nothing for his forehead.
I thought he looked best during the Avengers press tour, or War Horse interviews when he had the Henry V look.
It looks like they shopped Hiddles’ head onto that evil painting from Ghostbusters 2. Where is Venkman when you need him?
(no, really. this is a terrible poster. At least Thor’s is a mildly interesting action shot).
Now all I can think of is angsty Thor in a red circle with a line through him.
Ha! Mission accomplished! 😛
We must not provoke Dr. Venkman.
Psh, whaddaya mean, we don’t provoke Dr. Venkman? If Bill Murray is being brought into this, I’ll take him any day of the week over Hiddles and Hems.
My vote will always be for Hiddles as Loki. Hemsworth has not and still does not do it for me :/ Perhaps I had a few too many bad experiences when my type was “relatively attractive rippling muscle guy”.
The posters look like the fangirls on Tumblr got hold of them – especially the Loki ones!
Hiddles in character as Loki. You know it would be great.
I want a poster of Chris Eccleston, too! I <3 <3 <3 <3 the ninth Doctor!
P.S. I would take Christopher Eccleston over either Hemsworth or Hiddleston
Word
None. But gun to my head? Hemsworth. He is a beautiful man. Tom Hiddleston, never got the appeal. He is too Skinny and he looks like someone I would see on the streets and pass by. Nothing special about him at all. There are wayyyyyyy better looking guys than TH. He just so happens to have a good PR team. Everything is average (looks) about him.
I think the appeal with Loki and TommyAnne is that you want to change them into a better person, give them security.
TommyAnne is ok looking but I really don’t like his personality, he comes across as a fickle crowd pleaser. His PR is a joke.
At the end of the day
He’s an actor . He is PAID to make people believe what they want to see.
Thats exactly another reason I was never on the Hiddleston train. Like someone has said in the past he is like that kid in school who tries to get everyone to like him. I give his PR team ALOT of credit. I just don’t think he’s worth the hype at all.
Hiddleston as Loki. So really, Loki. Wait, I take it back. I’d probably bang Hiddles too. I kinda dig the Dragonfly Coat. hahahahaaaaaa. Then he can coo to me in Latin because I too have a Classics degree. Then I shall raise our pompous nerd babies.
I’m sorry if I offended anybody by calling his FWB a poor cow. In its context I’m sympathing with her as she seemed much more interested in him than he was with her . you can tell this from the Wimbledon pictures and the ‘As you like it’ premier video.
She had to but up with all this rubbish from his fans and did he defend her as a friend? No
If a woman does what he does she’d be called worse.
On the other hand , I would be smitten with him if he turned up dressed as prince Hal!
I am a Bostonian and was just notified by a Londoner that “poor cow” is not derogatory. My bad! And I agree he has been less than gallant.
Errr, what “As You Like It” premiere video?
I agree, but then I try to see both sides. While I completely see that it’s terrible his female friends are subjected to abuse on Twitter and Facebook and he does nothing and it does make me judge him as a person, especially since he encouraged the rabid nature of some fan girls for a large period of time without any foresight into how it was going to explode in his face.
Then I think, well what can he do? If he responds, he’s engaging with it and a lot of actors try to just ignore stuff about them that is written in the hope it will die down however, his friends/FWB/GF’s getting sent abuse isn’t on. Personally, I think Hiddles is just that little bit too concerned with being popular/liked to do something like that.
I lean more towards the, he should have done something, even to show his support to his friends and to show that kind of behaviour isn’t acceptable. They’re the kind of fans no actor should want to be honest.
Loki. Over and Over. Though this movie he looks odd, I think it’s the crappy hair. Thor 1 his hair was perfect.
Out of costume, Chris all day every day. Every minute. All the time.
I meant ‘much ado about nothing’ video
are you referring to Joss Whedon’s movie Much Ado About Nothing? didn’t remember he took anyone to the event, at least not from pic I can get publicly. His “official” ex-GF is Susannah Fielding. I always had the feeling that it was Susannah dumped him…Tom’s a playboy, boob guy, but he never comes across to me as a man who bad-treats women.
I always heard that she dumped him and that he did not expect that. Also that she was his only long term and serious GF. But I got this via DL, so take it with a grain of salt.
Do you have a link? I don’t know what you are referring to.
Hiddleston. I feel nothing when I look at Hemsworth other than a detached admiration for his body. Hiddleston, though, is my type in every way.
You can’t because of Chris’s face? Really? You’d rather have that rat faced, try-hard douche instead?? Ok then.
Well, I’ll happily have Thor/Chris :).
http://youtu.be/ZDhTK8B7whg i read she was the woman who doesn’t take her eyes off him. She looks like Wimbledon lady , but I could be wrong (apologies if I am)
I’m now going to the Chris thread. TommyAnne is too much for me when he’s not Hal!
That’s not Jane Arthy. That’s a PR person. In the other videos, she’s clutching a stack of papers and a binder and is constantly checking her phone and escorting other actors.
and waiting for TH to stop talking. “Oh crap, a Shakespeare question.”
Sweet mother Mary of Jesus, I just had a Thor-gasm and also…love me some Loki! Can’t I have both? (Yes, I have been drinking and darned proud of it too. Been a rough two days!!!
We’re seeing a lot more of Tom than Chris since Loki is a fan favorite character, so much so that they ended up beefing up the Loki part in re-shoots. Chris may be prettier, but Loki’s thr bigger sell. Also, with all the talk about Marvel playing hardball with the Avenger contracts (other than RDJ) I think Thor’s on his way out. Hemsworth is hot (right now…) and asking for a boatload of money, but aside from a pair of arms he’s not bringing all.that much to the table that they can’t live without. I think his lack of visibility hints at some pretty contentious negotiations – this is HIS movie, yet the only person we’re seeing promote is Tom Hiddleston.
Hiddleston wasn’t at SDCC and D23 because Loki is bigger than Thor. It’s because his schedule was clear. If Capa hadn’t been shelved, Hiddleston wouldn’t be at any of these events. That’s why Hemsworth didn’t come. He’s shooting in Asia with Michael Mann. All simple reasons, really.
And honestly, does being Thor require anything more than Hemsworth’s looks and physique? It’s a comic book character. Even Loki isn’t that complex unless you buy into Hiddleston’s promo talk seriously. They are all two dimensional. Hemsworth is a good actor but I don’t he strains himself acting wise to play Thor.
In Chris’ defense, keeping the THOR physique requires a lot of work; but indeed acting-wise, none of the characters in this type of movie require a RADA degree to accomplish. Portman was so obviously absent-minded throughout THOR 1.
I also have a theory that Tom has been pomoting a lot more is because he’ll start rehearsal in Oct. for Coriolanus so probably he will not be able to fly around to promote. By that time, we could see more Chris? I really look forward to a reunion of the two (if not TIFF…).
Let me clarify. I’m not saying they had Hemsworth amd Hiddleston side by side and they saaid ”send Loki, the nerds like him better”. But the contract negotiation issues between the Avengers and Marvel is well documented at this point, and I stand by my assertion that I think Hemsworth is on his way out of the Marvel fold. Yes, he may be filming right now, but with a big expensive property like Thor his promotional duties would absolutely be factored in to his schedule.
This is precisely what tells me that Thor 2 is not looking too well. The time to bring in the focus group is in Pre-production. That they are doing this now smells of desperation. Yeah I know Marvel is spinning this as a positive, but I just don’t buy it.
I don’t know how true it is, but I read elsewhere (Deadline Hollywood?) that most of the Marvel movies are done in a kind of scattered way like this. Lots of focus grouping and retooling right up until release. I don’t know if that’s just spin, but Thor 2 may not be as troubled as it seems.
Hiddleston and Hardy on the same page. Good lord. I’ll never get to sleep tonight……
I would so do Hiddleston, but he would have to be dressed as Loki.
Hiddleston all the way. And I actually prefer his body type. He’s long in all the right places 😉
*snigger*
every word of yours ehehehe
Chris Hemsworth all the day. I’m interested in what the hell is going on with him and Marvel though. Apparently they are bitch-fighting over money, and that’s part of the reason Hiddles is promoting so much?
Nah, Hemsworth is just super busy filming with Michael Mann somewhere in Asia. They even mentioned how hard it was to get him back for reshoots in the last Empire magazine.
I don’t know that I buy this so much. He could have at least recorded a message for the fans at Comic-Con, for example, but didn’t do anything at all. It was kind of glaring.
Hemsworth, but I’d happily have both!
Getting sick of the whole Twilight-esque competition between Thor and Loki though. The majority of people watching Thor love both of them, and by turning it into some weird bitch-fight online is just encouraging the more childish aspect of fandom to cause trouble. And frankly Hiddlestoners don’t need any more reason to go batshit.
Does TH really read posts on here?
Do I expect now to see him pose awkwardly with a with a lady to prove that he’s not a playboy?
Is he going to turn up with a leather jacket and Capris ?
I think he has more important things to do than worry about the likes if us
Dear Lord, I hope he doesn’t show up with a lady. I still gag every time I remember that Wimbledon woman episode.
But please, oh please change your style Tom. These tight suits are starting to get on my nerves.
For all that everyone makes up stuff (and then semi-believes it) to suit themselves vis a vis celebrities, I don’t think it’s far off to say that the Tomster is a big self-googler. In fact, I’d take it as a given.
I’d do hiddles in a second and Loki in half a second. You can keep Hems and his miles of muscles, he’s married anyway so yeah that’s a definite dnw.
Chris as Hiddles is so self-centered, he probably won’t shut up not during foreplay, not during act, not later going about himself over and over and over. And then he will google to see if I write something about him.
Why is he called TommyAnne btw?
Can’t we have BOTH? Mmmmm sandwich.
If I have to choose one, you guys already know which side I’m on. I mean yeah Chris has a nice body, but I can’t like his face except when he has the Thor beard going on. He is fine to look at but… really does nothing for me.
Now Tom.. since we ALL know how much he has going on UNDER the belt (that is a big plus hehehe) but I actually find him VERY attractive in all his forms (bring back the Magnus Curls please!) And Loki… well… Tom as Loki, it trips all the right triggers in my hind brain. It hits every primal piece of wiring in me.
So yeah, I’d hit Tom or Tom-as-Loki, either one, ALL NIGHT LONG and all day and … ummm yeah.
Also, I really think he is a sub in the bedroom. I’d make him unable to articulate at all. 😉
Tom all the way. Dressed as Loki. Although I do think he was kinda cute in War Horse too so that would work also.
