To me, so far, Michael Fassbender in shame is easily one of the most impressive this year, along with Jean Dujardin in The Artist, George Clooney in The Descendants, Chris Evans in Puncture, Gary Oldman in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy — In this scene, tweeted by The Film Stage, originally posted at The Playlist, shows a more subtle Fassbender. But a chill will run down your spine if you’ve ever been the one getting picked up in this scene. A guy like Fassbender’s character is so well skilled at picking up women he only has to stand there and say nothing to win the girl. Meanwhile, the other guy, can’t get arrested, just comes off as panicky and desperate.
[UPDATE: Gone baby gone. But thanks to DirkDiggler for finding another source where the clip is safely archived. – Ryan]
Or getting screwed against a dumpster.

The two guys in that scene remind me of Skeet Ulrich and Matthew Lillard in SCREAM. Which is probably why I kept expecting it to cut to one of the girls waking up in a basement.

Here is the clip for the people who didn’t see it: http://ellastopher.tumblr.com/post/10441138834
I doubt this will ever be taken down.

Having the honor to have met Michael twice in the flesh, I speak the truth when I say his beautiful blue eyes can work the whammy on anyone, male or female, with a pulse.

I agree that the first clip was great. That gaze was great. I’m not gonna lie. I over indulge on using that myself.

Damn. Now that I turn up here and find a clip from one of my most highly anticipated films in ages, it’s been taken down. FML.

Amen, Ryan.
I’m a heterosexual male and that look from Fassbender certainly works for me too.
Recently had the chance to caught up with McQueen’s Hunger. What an amazing film. Can’t wait for this.

Fassbender is in. Everybody is praising him and the film.

Absolutely right, Ryan. The less sadi, the better.
Suggestion for Fassbender’s people to ensure a nomination – have him maintain 30 seconds of eye contact with as many AMPAS members as possible between now and end of January.

Well what follows after this scene shows that his gaze work. Watch the first clip on the subway. I’m a woman and this would work on me.

This scene works on me too, because it’s so much like a gay eye-contact cruisey hook-up. You rarely see that depicted in a love connection between a man and a woman in movies. Writers are too fond of meet-cute pick-up lines to pass up an opportunity to show how wit can get them laid. But this has got nothing to do with wit. Fuck wit. He might have a way with words, but he doesn’t need it here.

Of what I’ve seen so far, the most impressive performances this year have been a sublime Gary Oldman (Tinker), a vastly underrated Brad Pitt (Tree of Life) and a charismatic Ryan Gosling (Drive). I expect to see the Academy pick Oldman, Plummer, Clooney and DiCaprio with Gosling or Pitt (Moneyball) joining them.

from all the praise, i was expecting his gaze too be much more intense.
