Jamie is super hot with that beard, but he does come off as a bit of a grumpy bear. And Dakota…well let’s just say I’ve seen more personality from a loaf of bread, mmmm bread.
He looks good, I’ll give you that, but I cannot help but think of the psycho he plays in The Fall.
This is the exact same facial hair/haircut, but lowered intensity psycho stare. He plays that role very well.
I think Dakota is very pretty, she looks natural and not worked on.
The Glamour Cover I just don’t get it. It just looks messy to me.
Agreed. You can tell her face has been photoshopped but the messy hair was untouched. Yes, it’s reflective of the raw sexuality of her 50 Shades character but it’s a national mag, ffs. Seriously, it’s a Glamour cover without the glamour. Put her in beautiful, dramatic makeup for once. Sheesh!
Dakota seems like that one who’s always in a bad mood. During early promo, rumors, sources from the film set. Jamie was struggling to engage her and she was just upset at the world.
Sea Dragon
Not for this. It’s a glamour mag, but her character is beyond bland and basic. She’s frumpy. That’s what she’s promoting. And Glamour has improved her for this shoot. They can’t change her entirely
And she has the sex appeal of a teaspoon. Dull cast for an overhyped movie based on a grammar-challenged book. I’m not trying to be salty though… In more interesting news, Harper Lee will release(finally!) a sequel for TKAM called To Set A Watchman. HONK!
@CoSquared
I have only read a few chapters of fifty shades but the sex appeal of a teaspoon (and a long list of other negative traits) seemed to described the character she was supposed to portray pretty well. Maybe she’s not entirely miscast?
I just want to say that the featured link on Anna Duggar was absolutely despicable and has thrown my immense dislike for this family into overdrive. That is all.
Also, still upset at Jamie Dornan for choosing to associate with this trash.
+1
Which link is the Duggar link?
Yeah I can’t find it.
http://starcasm.net/archives/305416
I’m actually more horrified by Ryan Scott Bomberger’s subsequent tweets than I am by the Duggar chick, and that’s saying a lot.
I didn’t realize it was a retweet, i thought she was sharing the picture but wow, whatever/whoever this organization is, absolutely vile.
@tifzlan
And you’d think that instead of tweeting some shit like that, she’d tweet about how up until the 80s/90s black men were still being used as test subjects for syphilis going back to the Jim Crow era, and how minority women were being sterilized without their authorization by doctors…..
Virgilia, that is an excellent point. Unfortunately, i doubt the Duggars would care.
I really hope these two throw Pattinson levels of hatred towards this movie.
I know!! I’m actually wondering if this isn’t a bad approach to marketing the movie. It sort of invites even more people to go “hate watch” it that may have previously been on the fence. The true fans will go regardless.
(I couldn’t even finish book one.)
It sounds like they already are. I think they are trying to lower expectations so that people who see it will come out and say it’s better than I thought.
They’re off to a good start, but Pattinson gave interviews where he called the Twilight movies creepy and straight up made fun of plot elements. Jamie and Dakota need to step up the hilarity of their comments.
Thank you for no Wonderwall links. They never take you to the story, just a stupid wall of photos without headlines where you have to strain and slowly scroll to find the picture that might correspond to the headline you were interested in, before forgetting what you were looking for, saying “eff it” and coming back to cb annoyed by gossip blue balls. Can we figure out how to link the actual story or just forget that damn site altogether??
GOSSIP BLUE BALLS OMG I LOVE IT
I cosign this comment. Wonderwall makes me stabby.
I never click on wonderwall links for this very reason.
+1 cosign! Exactly and thank you
Well said!
I didn’t see any hate between Jamie Dornan and Dakota in the Glamour interview. But not planning to see the movie anyways.
I see no hate between them, just as I see no chemistry between them. No one is generating any heat here, in trailers or in print. Just not seeing it. Although I am open to being surprised, I’m not expecting much.
Dornan had better chemistry with the actresses he played off of in Once Upon a Time.
Well, I am off tuna fish forever. (this is unrelated to 50 shades of grey link)
@Amy tennant-oh dear god are you referring to that…creature some woman found in her can of tuna? Cause that was…..scarring.so never even thinking of it ever again.
Well, to be honest, the stuff usually in a tuna can was also a little creature… just in less recognizable form. Rather amazing that the tiny one’s body survived all the processing intact, though. So glad I don’t eat animals myself, although sometimes I’ve bought tuna for the obligate carnivores in the house. They would have enjoyed the added bonus. I was really grossed out by some Fancy Feast I got for an ailing feline roommate- had tiny shrimp in it. The patient was delighted, but I do better with the totally unrecognizable dead animals I generally feed them.
A tuna is a pretty big creature, though. Well, for a fish.
OMG RIGHT? SO CREEPY THOSE LITTLE BLACK DEAD EYES! Scarred by this link. . .I should have known better.
It’s a can of NOPE
I wouldn’t bet a $5 chip for either or their personalities or for them staying together, nothing against them personally..I hate it when guys try to suck their cheekbones in and he does it a lot, trying to show his dimples…they do that when their foreheads are wrinkled…another sign. Body language. Ok. I’ll shut up. 🙂
And while reading that blemish article about the creature found in the tuna can, my baby’s heel slowly poked me from within, and I jumped a mile forgetting I was 30 weeks pregnant. Gross gross gross. Gross.
Ha! Very cute story.
Omg someone admitted a high fashion trend is stupid. Rarity. I feel like that’s the look the Huntress sports, except she does it unintentionally.
Michael keaton was on Kimmel and the results are really sweet. On YouTube.
I don’t think they hate each other. They just have absolutely no chemistry what-so-ever, on screen or off. So the studio is trying to make headlines from their supposed ‘hatred’.
Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger were allegedly hated each other during 9 1/2 Weeks filming and look how that worked well
Sybil Shephard and Bruce Willis on Moonlighting. Gillian Anderson and David Duchovney at the beginning of xfiles (I heard they got along eventually). Dislike can make for some great onscreen chemistry.
Fred and Ethel on I Love Lucy hated each other, too.
Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer actually did hate each other and it didn’t affect West Side Story at all. These two can’t even fake liking each other. Lame.
Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh hated each other during the filming of “Gone with the Wind”.
That cover makes it look like he is really concerned that she is stretching out his best black tshirt.
Did you guys see that Vermont Teddy Bears made a Christian Grey bear for Valentine’s Day? One part of me is in such disbelief that the thing exists that I want to buy it for the laughs, but the smarter part of me isn’t spending $90 on anything associated with Fifty Shades of S**t.
OMG WHAT THE HECK WAS IN THAT TUNA? I just had tuna last night and now I feel verra ill. . .
Maybe it was a baby tuna still inside mom? Are they born alive?
Dunno, but it scared me so. Creepy! I think you and I are the only two that followed that horror of a link.
From what I read on another site, it is thought to be the tongue-eating parasite for a type of fish. It eats the tongue of the fish and then “replaces” it with itself until its babies are old enough to be on their own. The poor host fish continues to catch food and feed the parasite, then eventually dies. Very sad and creepy.
The biggest reasons not to eat tuna should be the mercury content – which is so high that pregnant women should avoid it completely – and the fact that it now contains radiation from Fukushima. Radiation can cause cancer.
Nonononononono
Charlie Hunnam: Bullet-dodging genius.
That’s my man! 🙂
Dakota Johnson was hired based on her chemistry with Hunnam (well, and the fact that no other “known” actresses would touch the role). The director, writer, and producers went on and on about how hot the two of them were together. Apparently, when he left he took all the chemistry with him, because there is nothing between Johnson and Dornan. If they were set on Dornan as a replacement, they should have recast the female role.
It’s too bad- Dornan was creepily effective in “The Fall” and Johnson was actually pretty charming in “Ben & Kate.” But together they are just a charisma void.
He sure is. I also think that Charlie Hunnam has more screen charisma than Jamie Dornan. ctkat1 is right, Daktoa Johnson was hired based on her chemistry with Charlie and it looks like it’s not being duplicated with Jamie. I thought I remember reading rumors right around the time Charlie left that she was thinking about dropping the role and the studio convinced her otherwise.
I’m glad Charlie dropped this movie, but I also think he might have made it at least watchable and he and Dakota would have had some chemistry.
Yes!!! Thank god he wasn’t desperate enough to stay attached to this crap. It would have completely ruined Jax Teller for me. This movie (just like the books) looks awful.
Fun fact: Know someone [the spouse of an acquaintance] who is close friends with the ‘writer’ of this book. apparently, there’s a lot of drama and gossip around who will get tix to attend the upcoming LA premiere, among her friends. Yes, these are all the middle aged women who ignored their families to obsess over twilight for years on end, camp out overnight at comicon etc. This really happens. And I still find it so surreal to hear about. Funny that Taylor Johnson had difficulty with the author as far as adaptation [as per the article link]. You’d think the writer would just be psyched to make a bunch of cash off a horribly fan fiction book. lol.
I don’t normally have a strong reaction to a photo, but the cover shot of Glamour felt immediately uncomfortable to me. I can’t identify what it is, but there’s this tension between the two… and it’s not ‘that’ kind of tension.
I’m absolutely LOVING DAKOTA! I think SHE’S HOT! I’m so glad they went with someone lesser known and NOT the latest IT girl to star in this movie. I hope she gets more movie offers (if that’s what she wants).
I have no interest in ever reading or seeing anything Fifty Shades of Grey, but I do think Dakota is beautiful. Maybe she’s excessively dull on-screen, I wouldn’t know, but I think she’s much more attractive than most of the actresses I read described as ‘stunning’ and ‘gorgeous’.
I have zero sympathy for Dornan and Johnson. Just like Pattinson and Stewart in Twilight. They all knew their films would be terrible and embarrassing. The only reason they stuck with them was for the money and exposure, which shows how shallow they actually are.
couldn’t agree more. i’m getting awfully tired of Dornan’s constant whining about how he wouldn’t do any of this in real life. so how did he feel after filming The Fall? Whether he meant it or not he comes off as arrogant and shallow (is that even possible?); it’s okay to stalk and murder women in horrible ways but it’s not okay to go to a BDSM dungeon or fake sex on camera.
Weeeeeeell. Christian did stalk Ana. He didn’t brutally kill her but he did some serious damage. I mean, where is the actual difference between Christian Grey and a serial killer?
I honestly don’t think that hate each other. I think both are reserved people and maybe uncomfortable of the things that they have to answer.
isn’t promoting the film part of the contract they both signed? It’s been apparent since at least last July that Dakota has the personality of wet wallpaper paste and that at least Dorman tries. Surely they could have hired some coaches to get them up to speed. They are actors, after all (well, maybe not).
“I’m just here so I won’t get fined.”
@Amy Tennant — perfect response! Made me literally LOL.
Could you ever really like somebody that you had to do that humiliating sh*t with, though? They might have just not clicked from the start, and it just escalated as the shoddiness of the material came out. Dorman seems a tad whiny, but I do appreciate that he’s making it clear that Grey’s behavior isn’t really acceptable. I’m hoping the director toned down a lot of the abusive aspects, since I know there are plenty of people who will embrace that film unironically.
But they knew what they were signing onto when they read the script. To come out now and decry it is ludicrous.
As for the behavior not being “acceptable,” as long as it’s between consenting adults, it is definitely acceptable. (Bear in mind that I haven’t read the book. What I’ve seen about it is that it’s a badly-written pseudo-BDSM portrayal.)
The problem in that horrible series goes far beyond BDSM. Christian is a misogynist, controlling rapist and it had nothing to do with his personal preference for kink.
I think it’s great for Tiffani Amber Thiessen to still acknowledge her part in Saved by the Bell. A lot of people originally know and love her from that. It was a cute video!
This movie looks so awkward, I hope they will do the trilogy.
Dornan should really be a lot more respectful about the bdsm scene. He’s making money representing the lifestyle (however poorly represented the book is – I’ve refused to read it, but reviews, excerpts, and quotes by the author all seem to confirm that she didn’t know wtf she was writing about). Talking about “What am I doing? I have a baby”, “I needed a long shower”, and “I’d never do that to a woman” are extremely patronizing and disrespectful to those of us who are into (real) bdsm.
+1000000000
Kaiserrrrr!!! David Gandy could have been Christian Grey !! Please cover that story… 🙂
She seems to be channeling Kristin Stewart. And btw, I see NO animosity between them–more of an almost flirty, inside-joke-just-between-us sort of vibe.
I find it reassuring that Dornan finds this regressive crap offensive, but The Fall being much worse in terms of glamorizing violent misogyny, it’s an odd situation.
The Defamer thread featured the amusing theory that these two actually had a one night stand or something, hence the eye rolling awkwardness in interviews.
This press tour is cringey, but I prefer the leads’ tepid enthusiasm to Cumberbatch’s endless press tour (since November 2014!) for a mediocre movie that misrepresents the figure it claims to honor.
Bit of a mixed bag this comment.
