A game we play every year, predicting what Mads will wear showing up at Cannes. Based on recent sightings of favourite items. Temperature at Cannes on 8th May is predicted to be warm and sunny.
*shrug* Well, I was bound to get an anonymous troll sooner or later. Charming stuff.
Frankly this kind of does it for me. Can’t be bothered posting any more. What’s the point of having a little escapist side blog when you get bollocked for jotting down an observation?
Oh and hey anon? I deleted my original post. Happy? Is Tumblr cleansed and pure enough for you now?
Vicious bar fights? Lmao what?? the last time I heard about Mads getting drunk he was hugging everyone in the bar
Sitting in the office, using a dictionary and you know this occurring advertising? Suddenly there is Mads … how could I resist not to click? 😉
Charming bad boy. Proud Dane. Explorer. Adventurer. History buff.
Constantly pushes himself out of his comfort zone. Loves to talk.
Although rarely about himself. Family man. Bad saxophonist. Excellent
handball player. Professional dancer. Gifted conversationalist. Mads
shows us his favourites.
The first look at the new 2016 Autumn/Winter Campaign. With actor, Mads
Mikkelsen. Authentic. Natural. Strong characters. In the spirit of
Follow Your Nature.
Mads Mikkelsen. The show stealer.
Mads Mikkelsen. Exceptional actor. Curious explorer and adventurer.
As a villain, amazingly believable. Charming Danish gentleman. Known for
sophisticated film and television roles. Success does go to his head
though. He is extremely likeable and down-to-earth, not only on the red
carpet. His mannerisms reflect his style. “The casual style as presented
by Marc O’Polo suits me perfectly. Add a good shirt and you’ve got a
real touch of class. “
According to Wikipedia, recipients must have “significantly contributed to the enrichment of the French cultural inheritance” which makes sense for Mads to get since he is an actor and has done french films. I dont know if this is common knowledge I just thought it was cool to know.
Ok I’m not going to post this on my main blog (kinbotes) for aesthetic reasons but I just wanted to address some of the (weirdly condescending) text posts that I’ve seen flying around in lieu of Red Dragon Con. The gist of these text posts tend to be claims that everyone at the con asked Mads the same five hannigram-related questions over and over and ignored the rest of his work/his talent as an actor. As someone who attended the con, I can safely say that that is absolute bullshit. There were two 80 minute Q&A sessions with Mads and I’d say that about six questions about Will and Hannibal’s relationship were asked in each. Most of these questions were posed eloquently and Mads gave thoughtful and nuanced answers in response. Of course, there were some inane, silly questions about fanfiction and such but those were absolutely in the minority. In any case, even the silly questions were posed in good humour, in a non-invasive manner and they clearly didn’t make Mads uncomfortable. At a con such as Red Dragon Con, which was a celebration of fan culture surrounding Hannibal as much as the show itself, it is to be expected that a few questions concerning fandom culture will be asked. As a person who has seen Mads’ filmography in its entirety and who has followed his career closely for the past three years, I found the Q&As to be illuminating and insightful. People were asking questions that I had never heard Mads answer before, concerning Hannibal and the rest of his filmography. He was praised for and asked about his work in A Royal Affair, The Green Butchers, Men and Chicken, Casino Royale, The Hunt, The Salvation, Charlie Countryman, Michael Kohlhaas and Unit 1 (to name a few) so to say that there was no genuine interest in Mads’ acting at the con is absurd. Also I find the suggestion that people behaved inappropriately around Mads to be insulting and incredibly condescending: I am a socially adept adult and I know how to behave around other adults, celebrity or no. This goes for everyone else at the con. Nobody was anything but polite and respectful towards Mads – check Starfury’s twitter if you don’t believe me. Mads said that he really enjoyed spending the weekend with us and I know that every fan in attendance had a great time so I don’t understand why certain members of the fandom are so intent on crapping in everyone else’s cornflakes.
TL;DR: the holier-than-thou attitudes of certain fans of Mads who believe that they’re the only ones who truly appreciate him as an artist and that the rest of us are just rabid, screaming hannigram fangirls, are baseless and annoying as fuck.
cosigned.
and i would also like to add that most of the q&a sessions were absolute class acts from both the side of the actors as well as the fans. in fact my absolute favourite q&a sessions were all of the ones which included Lara Jean, Katie Isabelle, Mads and Kacey who were all asked incredibly interesting and varied questions apart from a very few exceptions and who all gave insightful and relevant answers.
Now some of the quotes which are floating around tumblr seem to me to be a bit selective and to extrapolate a bit more from what was actually said than would be 100% accurate but that’s to be expected in a fan community that is deeply invested in certain answers and in no way reflects any sort of inappropriate behaviour at the con itself.
in any case, most of these inaccuracies are sure to be addressed as soon as the con video is released.
The thing is there won’t be a video of the con. I have different people who have recorded things from the Q&A, and i personally i have a a video of someone who asked a question about one of Mads’ short which was a practically a silent movie.
The mads stans weren’t there and they love to bicker about what they supposedly heard.
JUST BECAUSE THE ANSWER AND QUESTIONS WHICH ARE POPULAR ARE ABOUT HANNIGRAM DONT FUCKING MEAN EVERY BLOODY QUESTIONS OF THE Q&A WAS ABOUT HANNIGRAM AND ABOUT HANNIBAL.
Stop thinking that fannibals are mindless, screaming fans that can’t contain themselves. Mads got outside at the main fucking door to smoke for 3 days. If he had a problems with fans surrounding him, i can bloody assure you he would have smoked elsewhere, somewhere he wouldn’t have the risk of being approached.
And when he did get approached, people talked to him it was to thank him for his fucking presence, and talk about other stuff. My friend had a talk about Men & Chicken with him while they were smoking.
IF HE WAS BOTHERED HE WOULDNT HAVE LEFT THROUGH THE MAIN DOOR TO SMOKE HIS CIGS.
He even agreed to answer my tiny little thing on my thesis, but the con organizes said it wasn’t possible because of the tight schedule. (and it was one of them who asked and mads said fucking yes).
SO GET OFF YOUR MIGHTY JEALOUS ASS HIGH HORSE AND STOP BABYSITTING A 50 YEAR OLD MAN WHO FUCKING GAVE ALL HIMSELF TO THE FANS FOR 3DAYS STRAIGHT. He was exhausted, he got a cold and YET he kept a smile, and was teary at the end.
Im so done with the mads stans trying to ruin everything.
