The scene where Brandon hears his sister sing in the restaurant was shot in real time. James Badge Dale and Michael Fassbender had never heard Carey Mulligan sing before so their reactions were real. The scene was shot at 3 a.m in the morning with cameras focused on all 3 performers at the same time. X.

1) His legs… I CANNOT. Also, dat ass.
2) His dick is coiled up in those shorts like a cobra waiting to strike.
….
That is all.
His body is seriously unreal. Between the mermaid waist, cut arms, fine ass and the way he’s hung… I’m starting to wonder if he really is an escaped sexbot.
Oh my God, yes. Yes indeed. God, his legs, why didn’t I notice his legs before? Right, because I was too busy staring at his ass. And waist. And chest. And everything. Seriously, Shame cannot come out on DVD soon enough.
I wonder if those very boxers he is wearing, will ever be part of a costume display in a museum. They better have Mission Impossible style high-security because it will be stolen… bymea Fassinator!
I am reblogging this due to the above commentary. The Fassynation is deliciously delirious. As you were.

It’s been a glorious time to be a fan of The Fassy (except for that whole “not even being nominated for an Oscar, much less winning his deserved statue” thing). We’ve been swimming in riches. “Riches” meaning “severely damaged men flying off the deep end,” of course. He does right by those guys.
So let’s do dump or marry his 2011 trio: There’s Magneto in X-Men: Muppet Babies, there’s Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre, and there’s Brandon in Shame. Which of these men would you have sex once with, which would you wed to for life, and which would you give the ol’ heave ho? Tell in the comments!

The German movie poster for SHAME. It’s been banned in Germany.
NOTE: My most sincere apologies to the people of Hungary, the movie fans of Hungary and Hungarian Michael Fassbender fans. Did not mean to confuse Germany and Hungary…I am sure there is a world of difference. ;-D
’Still, if he keeps producing work of this standard, and maybe keeps at least some of his clothes on next time so the male voters don’t get an inferiority complex, he should take home the prize in the near future.’ [SOURCE]
By now everyone has heard about Michael Fassbender NOT getting an Oscar nomination for his superb work in SHAME. And of course as par for the course there is a lot of dialogue as to why the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would do such a stupid thing. However, this is an annual fiasco…they are always overlooking good work for more mundane and lightweight fare. Not to slight past winners but the facts are there have been plenty of people who should have at least been nominated and were not.
Part of the uphill climb for Fassy was the story matter of SHAME. Sex addiction. Not just any type of addiction but sexual. This will involve some form of nudity and sexual conduct…in a country such as America this can only lead to either giggles or side eyes or eyes bulging out from the risqué material being put forth. The character of Brandon is a tortured soul but the deeds he is doing to reflect his soul’s malaise are sexual…again this can only bring about either giggles, side eyes or eyes bulging with shock.
The fact that Steve McQueen and Michael Fassbender did not play coy with the physiology of the story is to be commended. Plenty of American films show any and all of the female body but the moment the male body is shown its all long shots and penis socks to blur the image of the male sex organ.
In the past few weeks as the sound and fury over SHAME kept growing, one of the things that kept popping up [no pun intended] about the movie was the sight of Fassbender’s penis…or the size of it. When George Clooney, the Chairman of Hollywood’s Elite, decided to stand on stage at the Golden Globes and mention seeing Fassbender’s penis in SHAME, that’s when I thought the chances of Fassy being nominated where weaning. Penis envy may be a Freudian psychoanalysis concept attributed to the female psyche but let’s be honest one of the reasons so many R-rated movies show females totally naked but shroud the male body is due to men and their penis egos.
Which brings me back to the quote found at the top of my essay: ‘so the male voters don’t get an inferiority complex’ — what a fucking joke…so true but what a joke nonetheless. It’s not that Fassbender is the first actor to show it all…Harvey Keitel in THE PIANO and Ewan McGregor in many films…but this year the spotlight is on Fassbender and his penis.
In the years to come when this past year’s movies fade into pale memories…only sustained by the power of repeat viewings or the actors’ charisma, Fassbender’s performance in SHAME will stand as example of a fine performance that was wrongfully overlooked by the AMPAS. And that oversight will be mores the pity to the whole concept of acknowledging fine cinematic work by Hollywood’s Elite aka The Oscars.

Clooney talking about Fassbender’s big dick is another evening highlight.

OMFGG! I really think Brad Pitt was as good as George Clooney, and that Michael Fassbender was better than both of them.

“I don’t understand the problem with the nudity in the film. What’s the difference between male and female nudity? All men have penises, all women have sex, both accept masturbation as a natural need, yet despite all this people are scandalized by sex, while violence is accepted no problem. What are the criteria of judgment here? Is it possible that we can’t do anything to challenge this censorship? The real problem of the main character in Shame isn’t his obsession with sex, but rather his dependency on a certain mental scheme, an addiction that damages his own life as well as those of the people around him. Sex is a primitive instinct, an often amazing physical experience. Falling in love is something else entirely – you establish a deeper and more complex connection with the other person. Sex can be a thousand things: serious, playful, strange, thrilling. Having sex on the set is stressful, because you need to establish rules and limits. I generally ask my partner if I can kiss her, or caress her back, breasts, crotch, in order to understand how far I can push things without looking like a maniac. On the screen, female nudity is not only accepted but encouraged. My mother complains that men always have their pants on.”[SOURCE]
He asked several times to make sure that I understood there would be full nudity in the film and if I was okay with that. I said yes, as long as there would be no penetration of fingers or genitals. He vehemently shook his head and said something like, “I hope I’m not offending you but Michael would never do that. Nothing against you. But he’s a real gentleman. That would not happen. He wouldn’t want it to happen. No offense…” I was like, okay I get it. I’m repulsive and he won’t get a hard-on. Haha. He’s[Fassbender] very down to earth. The three of us did the sex scenes a few times with the aide of a bottle of silver Patron tequila and Jamesons. Michael was a pro and a gent, and man, that guy can act. He really poured himself into all the scenes. And I mean that quite literally. (Wink wink). We shot the sex scenes six or eight times from various angles and configurations.

Id:
ƸӜƷ•°*”˜˜”*°•. ƸӜƷ•°*”˜˜”*°•. ƸӜƷ•°*”˜˜”*°•.
‘Where id was, there shall ego be.’ --- Freud Sigmund
ƸӜƷ•°*”˜˜”*°•. ƸӜƷ•°*”˜˜”*°•. ƸӜƷ•°*”˜˜”*°•.
The id comprises the part of the personality structure that contains the basic drives. The id acts according to the "pleasure principle", seeking to avoid pain or unpleasure aroused by increases in instinctual tension. The id is responsible for our basic drives such as food, water, sex, and other basic impulses. It is amoral and selfish, ruled by the pleasure–pain principle; it is without a sense of time, completely illogical, primarily sexual, infantile in its emotional development, and is not able to take "no" for an answer. It is regarded as the reservoir of the libido or "instinctive drive to create".
It is the storehouse of the fundamental drives. It operates irrationally, acting on impulse and pushing expression and immediate gratification. It does not consider whether or not what is desired is realistically possible, socially desirable, or morally acceptable. The id is driven by the pleasure principle, which is the unregulated search for immediate gratification. The id wants what it wants when it wants it. It is governed by primary-process thinking, which is a form of thinking that is primitive, illogical, irrational, and fantasy-oriented. The id is also unorganized and emotional: ‘the realm of the illogical’.
