Cronenberg, Fassbender and Olsen

Even though I've complained about the pretentiousness of some of these press events, I really cannot complain about the celeb sightings that go with. After A Dangerous Method earlier this week Timon and I were treated to a once-in-a-lifetime eyegasm, Michael Fassbender in the flesh (actually, in leather), up on stage alongside director David Cronenberg. Truth be told I was more excited about Fassbender but after the press conference I was a total convert. Cronenberg was funny, charming and really, really smart. Fassbender was handsome and a little cheeky. But Cronenberg was the star, by far.

I have these mini-moments sometimes when I realise that just one of these experiences would be enough to satisfy our whole trip (for me anyway). But they just keep-a-coming!

After the screening of Martha Marcy May Marlene there was a press conference with the objectionably pretentious director and the gorgeous and surprisingly buxom younger sister of the Olsen twins - Elizabeth. Otherwise known as Lizzie. She's a strange creature, beautiful actress, but every so often her face morphs into her sisters'. Also odd because she is much taller and curvier than those twins. Like human sized.

Crazy lookalike right?
