Teh Ninjin Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 There is a little bit of twitchy nostril action going on. YUM. *A* Link to comment
Spoo Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Dusty actually shared this video with me a while back, but I think it's something that needs to be posted here.http://youtu.be/nwuTCTU3TSQThis was obviously taken by an amateur video camera. Seems like James had a bit of a cold, or was JUST cold. He gives an amazing sniff at 0:27, and he even treats us to a cough right after! That's all though (unfortunately). Link to comment
Jorm Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 He must have had a cold. I mean he must have, mustn't he? Link to comment
Spoo Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 He must have had a cold. I mean he must have, mustn't he?I don't wanna make any assumptions, buuuut...YES. "Whose pen's this?" He's so concerned! Link to comment
Jorm Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 "Whose pen's this?" He's so concerned! Haha! I know, right? I love how urgent he sounds, like it's suddenly really, really important to find out whose pen he has. Link to comment
Purple Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 He must have had a cold. I mean he must have, mustn't he?But of course! Thanks for the share! I have one to reciprocate: in the first bit of Shakespeare Retold: Macbeth, he is QUITE sniffly...and there's also a few shirtless scenes.. {cough} Link to comment

I mean..... is there anybody more eager than him to make a fake sneeze perfect??? Link to comment
Purple Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Here are exerpts from the original script for The Last Station, by Michael Hoffman. Some of the scenes made it into the movie, some didn't. This should give us an idea on how much improvisation was going on! (For example, the scene when Masha brings him tea: that sneeze wasn't in the script! Thank you, James! Enjoy. ***Alone now among Tolstoy's books, Valentin makes his way slowly to a writing table, the holy of holies, on which War and Peace and Anna Karenina were written. He runs his hand along the old wood top. Emboldened by a backward glance, he sits in Tolstoy's chair. Before him are stacks of letters, pens and pencils, a pot of India ink. There's a notebook lying open. He leans forward to read it. A noise in the hall stops him.Tolstoy enters from the dining room, red cheeked, beard dripping wet, the energy of a man ten years younger than he is. Valentin stands.TOLSTOYI'm glad you're here. So glad.He tromps across the room, kisses the boy enthusiastically on both cheeks. Valentin is overcome by the great man's warmth.VALENTINI'm... I'm... Here is-Valentin interrupts himself with a sneeze.TOLSTOYGod bless you.VALENTINI'm sorry.   Sometimes I...Valentin pulls out a letter of introduction. Tolstoy takesit out and puts it down without a glance.-----------------------------------TOLSTOYValentin Fedorovich, do you think fifty years from now, people will eat while grown men walk around and wait on them hand and foot?Valentin doesn't know what to say. A giggle from Dushan.DUSHANOh, that's good...that's good.Dushan, having sat at table, tries surreptitiously to getdown Tolstoy's words in the diary he holds below the table.Sofya flushes with anger.VALENTINI think...(sneeze)SOFYAStop scribbling!-----------------------------------TOLSTOYIt's tiresome. Another remarkable invention will supercede it.Valentin blushes and looks at the table. Dushan tries to hide his disappointment.TOLSTOYPlease excuse me.Tolstoy rises, leaves the table, walks out onto the lawn. Dushan gets up quickly, bumping the table as he goes. Tea spills. Valentin moves to wipe it up, sneezes, a barrage of irritable blessings.DUSHANLeo Nikolayevich is something of a Luddite, I fear.***VALENTINI mean to say, I feel privileged to be here. It's an... honor.Valentin feels himself slip further into mundanity. Sasha goes back to her letter. Valentin SNEEZES.SASHAGod Bless You.They read together for a moment. He sneezes again.SASHA(irritated)God bless you.VALENTINI'm sorry. Sometimes I sneeze when I'm nervous.She regards him like an animal in the zoo. ***            VALENTINThat may not be so easy.SOFYANonsense. You've been listening to your friends at Telyatinki...(beat)Write what you see. That's alwaysthe place to begin. (slowly)What. You. See.Valentin fingers the package, stifles a sneeze.SOFYAMore tea?***VALENTINA girl who died?TOLSTOYNo, no...A girl I had sexual intercourse with... Sometimes we did it twice a day.Valentin sneezes.TOLSTOYGod bless...I've never forgottenour time together, the position of our bodies, the taste of her...***              CHERTKOVI can only be of limited help to the master if I don't know what's going on. Any effort she makes to shore up control of the copyright, I must know. The survival of our movement depends on it. Remember who your friends are. What you've come here to do. Chertkov turns away to watch the countryside. Valentin stares straight ahead, his nose twitches slightly.***TOLSTOYMy dear boy. Come and kiss me.Valentin, beet red, goes to him. He is warmly embraced.TOLSTOYNow, who is this? Maria Filipovna.Masha comes to stand beside him. She glances at Valentin but he won't make eye contact with her.TOLSTOYYou're both looking so well. Lifehere at Telyatinki obviously agrees with you.Valentin sneezes mightily, moves a little away.TOLSTOYGod bless you, boy. What are you nervous about, now? Sit down. Sit down.***A knock on the door. Valentin opens it. It's Dushan with another cable. Tolstoy gestures for him to read it aloud.DUSHANFrom Sofya Andreyevna. "I beg you. Stop. Unwell. Stop. Hurry back."SASHAWho taught her to use that damned machine?Valentin starts to sneeze, stifles it, starts again, stifles, starts, explodes.

Purple Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 That blooper reel is priceless! Poor Anne-Marie looks like she nearly jumped out of her skin when he sneezed so suddenly! Â I also found a slightly edited video clip from one of the previously posted interviews where James was pretending to sneeze a few times:Â www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R_F-YggBDk Link to comment

Spoo Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 This is completely unrelated, but I wonder if James biting his nail in the beginning of that deleted scene was intentional or not. Technically, he's supposed to be "nervous" in that moment, but one has to wonder. He's an avid nail-biter in real life (seriously, check out his nails in any picture; they're chewed to the bone). I just thought that was interesting. Carry on, fellow McAvoyeurs! Link to comment
Septaero Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 My god. I must buy this. Link to comment
Spoo Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 The DVD commentary for 'The Conspirator' mentions it in the commentary track by Robert Redford.From a review of the DVD extras: "Among the more lighthearted bits, it's revealed James McAvoy is allergic to horses and he speaks with a thick Scottish brogue when off camera (catch a glimpse of it during The Making of The Conspirator featurette)".Does anyone happen to have a video of this featurette?! Having recently purchased and watched this movie, I have recorded Robert Redford's commentary regarding James and his horse allergy. The segment itself is SUPER short - like, 14 seconds - but he says enough for us to understand how serious James' allergies were.http://www.megaupload.com/?d=K8Y9DHNG (AUDIO ONLY, not the best quality, sorry!)Enjoy, my loves!

Purple Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 "James McAvoy is allergic to horses, so he could only spend just so much time on a horse before his allergies would kick in, so we had to be quick and to the point. Also he was not a horse person because of that and he had to look like he was."Oh my goodness... When Spoo and Dusty see this... PREPARE TO COVER YOUR EARS!!I smell a fic coming on....

Purple Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 My nickname is Spacey. Apparently. Just ignore my little moment of failure over there... ALSO, DUSTY: I APPROVE THAT IDEA. In fact, I'd like to make a toast to this forum topic. "MAY WE ALWAYS HAVE NEW POSTS!" Link to comment

Scream, for one...The two of you are a team of utter magic.*Imagines fic, loses consciousness and falls into an odd realm of calm hyperventilation*x) Link to comment
Purple Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Apparently (though I have yet to see it) in James' new animated movie Arthur Christmas, his character (Arthur) is allergic to snow! Hmmm, I do wonder what THAT means... Has anyone seen it? (: Link to comment
