At that [rehearsal], Tom saw that the production designer had put a giant lobster tank in the center of the restaurant and that was just a true design choice just to make it seem like a fancy restaurant. As soon as Tom sees it, he goes, ‘Well, I’m going to go in the tank.’
Even if you’re Tom Hardy, you don’t just jump in a lobster tank and call it day. “The designer was like, ‘We didn’t build it for somebody to go in!’” Fleischer says. “And, you know, they were all live lobsters.”
Then improvised direction required the rejiggering of major elements to allow for Eddie/Venom to plunge into and feast, and for Hardy to do it all safely. As anyone who witnessed the The Mask-like spectacle, they pulled off the construction and stunt work under the wire. And the lobsters gobbled up by a Venomized Eddie? Marshmallow crustaceans with chocolate syrup blood.

Was Meghan Markle telling the truth, that she first met Harry in May 2016, when Sam Kashner interviewed her, or did Kashner mistake hearing May for July? Evidence points to the former for many reasons, first of all Kashner is an established writer and has contributed to Vanity Fair since 2007, written a book, and has interviewed many A list celebrities. How could he make such an error? He would have taped the interview and May doesn’t sound anything like July in English, French, or German. The interview would also have been proofed and sent for approval to MM before publishing, so surely she would have spotted the error on the first page and asked for it to be corrected? Apparently the copy went to press at the beginning of August when Kashner said they had been in contact (alluding to her being somewhere with poor reception), and had interviewed her in June in Toronto.
Why didn’t Vanity Fair change the ‘error’ immediately, instead of changing it weeks later?
Coincidentally, the former Editor-in-Chief, Graydon Carter chose to step down the day after publication on 7 September 2016, therefore, he couldn’t be reprimanded for publishing an interview that didn’t seem to have the approval of Buckingham Palace who made no comment. Carter had been wanting to leave for a while, but why choose that particular day, and no successor had been chosen either?
The online interview differs from the published version slightly, the all important ‘when did they meet’ date and place. Read for yourself the two versions:
The original copy, printed in Vanity Fair stating the couple met in May 2016 and at an Invictus Games event
Kashner assumed when the Invictus Games was mentioned, that it was the actual games itself in the USA (8-12 May 2016), however, a few days earlier Harry had arrived in Toronto 1 May to launch the games there the following year and left on 3 May for the USA. Justin Trudeau was the host, and they participated in various PR activities to promote the games on 2 May, including a private dinner that evening. The chef was believed to be Cory Vitiello, the live in partner of MM at the time. This, in Markle’s own words is when she first met Harry, when she was in a relationship with Vitiello, and attended the dinner as Vitiello’s girlfriend. No one has denied that the dinner took place.
If they had met on a blind date, as she claimed later on in the engagement interview several months later in November, then why didn’t she mention this in the interview, and surely Kashner is competent to know the difference between the words, ‘blind date’ and ‘we met at an Invictus Games event’?
The online version changes the date from May to July, and makes no mention of the Invictus Games, but a vague met ‘through friends’ line.
So why is this important? Maybe Kashner did a bad job of the interview, but someone who has studied writing and was the first student at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics in the 1970s would not make such a mistake, and of course he would have recorded the interview as well. Changing the date makes him look inept, implying he made a mistake and I think that is unfair on Kashner. Having interviewed people myself, you take notes, and record interviews and you don’t make mistakes such as dates, when a month is mentioned. If someone mentions a blind date, the subsequent questions would be, ‘Who set you up?’, yet none of this was mentioned, perhaps because MM had not come up with the back story of a blind date, and has since insisted that the person cannot be named for privacy reasons, even thought she has documented everything she has done and said on social media until she deleted the accounts in 2017 and early on in 2018.
In Markle’s own words again during the engagement interview in November 2017, when asked when did they meet, she replied, ” A year and a half, two maybe or a little more…” which indicates that they met between November 2015 and May 2016. Harry’s reply was a curt eighteen months, as even he can work out that they didn’t know each other in November 2015! As she was photographed on holiday with Vitiello in Tulum, Mexico and left on 1 May 2016, in time for them to return for when Harry arrived to promote the Invictus Games, it’s likely that they met on 2 May in Toronto when the private dinner took place.
Some may still say why does this matter? Well, it’s called lying and cheating, because MM was living with Vitiello and it doesn’t look good for either side. Harry because he will look like a cad for dating someone who was living with someone, and MM will look bad because she dumped her lover for Harry more or less as soon as she met him, but didn’t tell Vitiello that the relationship was over.
You may ask why couldn’t they say they met in June? A bit too soon after meeting perhaps, and they needed a gap, but then the phrase they had been dating for a year also wouldn’t add up. Kashner interviewed MM in June 2017 and wrote the copy that same month, so if she had said July he would have written ‘nearly a year,’ or ‘just under a year’ and not ‘year long relationship’ as magazines are prepared (monthly) three months in advance.
If they had met on a blind date in July, then it could only have been on 3 July as MM left the UK on 5 July. Harry was in France carrying out an engagement on 1 July, and MM’s former agent (Gina Nelthorpe-Cowne) said she had lunch with her the day she said she had a blind date with Harry that evening and MM was at Ralph Lauren lunch on 4 July.
However, why did Vanity Fair change that sentence? Were they asked to do so, and if so why? Can you honestly believe an established writer such as Kashner could make such an error? Did Markle really say July and not May and that Kashner couldn’t distinguish between the two, or that he misheard that words, ‘met through friends’ and heard, ‘met at an Invictus Games event,’ credible? I for I don’t buy that Kashner is incompetent as to get a date and information that was so important wrong.
THE CHANGE TO THE ONLINE VERSION, AFTER THE MAGAZINE WAS PRINTED
Why has no one ever come out and said they set up a blind date? Maybe because they never was one.
Why would anyone set someone up on a blind date when they have ended a relationship through choice? MM told Piers Morgan when they met in late June 2016 that she had become newly single, and had several phones on her that she was juggling. Why would that person (if there is one) want to remain anonymous, I mean what is there to be ashamed of?
What is the truth? There have been so many lies, and how can a couple not know the day or month they met, or how long they had known each other unless they were trying to cover something up?
It looks like Markle did tell the truth in so far as when they met to Kashner, but perhaps later realized it wouldn’t make either her or Harry look like respectable and upstanding citizens with integrity, and image is important to both, wanting to appear inspirational to the masses. Their obvious lies can clearly be seen through, although some will choose not to see them or are blind to them through naivety. I mean, they can hardly say in the engagement interview they met at a dinner party where her live in lover was the chef, and look like decent and honest human beings. While these things do happen, people do value honesty, loyalty, and integrity and expect it from those in the public eye, especially those who court the media. Some may say well Charles was unfaithful, but that was something that was occurred over a number of years and not a matter of weeks or days as it appears to be the case here.
Why did Vanity Fair change the sentence? Were they coerced, or asked to by Buckingham Palace? Is Kashner made to look incompetent, in order for Harry not to look like a cad? Even so, no one can deny that MM and Vitiello were on holiday together at the end of April and the beginning of May 2016 with the numerous photos they shared on social media. However, Vitiello’s mother claims the couple split up three months before MM met Harry, which would mean either the relationship ended in February (if you believe the May meeting) or April if you believe the July version of the tale. If she had split up with Vitiello, then she didn’t have to go on holiday with him. His mother also said she spent Christmas 2015 with them in Toronto, but judging by the Instagram post MM made she was in LA and didn’t want to leave, maybe another one that was Markled?
The problem is when you tell a lie and get others to try and back you up, dates don’t always tally. Social media can place people precisely and others repost and you can’t control that. Perhaps that’s why the social media accounts and The Tig were deleted hastily, and no one bought the old chestnut it’s because of MM’s impending status at the time. In April 2017 she was barely mentioned as a girlfriend, and had no status.
Doesn’t look she went on a blind date that nightNo date on July 2nd?
There are several parties that can confirm the truth, and one wonders why everyone is so cagey about when and where they met? It was also apparent during the engagement interview, Harry’s response was reserved and one could even say it was rehearsed. They know the truth, and a few others do, but why the big secret? Even Cory Vitiello won’t confirm when the relationship ended, and what purpose would that serve by keeping it a secret? All he would say is to let the ‘public forum debate that,’ which I take to mean, let everyone work out the dates themselves. Jessica and Ben Mulroney, Justin and Sophie Trudeau, Harry’s aides and close protection are likely to know the truth, but people don’t like being lied to.
Is this what Harry and MM have stooped to in order to try and create a perfect reputation and image for themselves? The sad fact is that people have done the calculations and the dates don’t match up, along with the trip to Botswana where Harry said they spent 5 days together and her birthday there. Toronto/NYC to Botswana is a 25-40 hour flight, and the return flight takes 26- 50 hours.
Her birthday is on 4 August and Lindsay Roth’s wedding was on 6 August where MM had lunch with her before the wedding. All flights from Botswana to New York are overnight flights, so she would have arrived one or two days later. Therefore, either she cut it fine and left the morning of the 5 August and made it back to New York on the morning of 6 August, or she left on her birthday to make sure she got back in time for her best friend’s wedding. While barely feasible, the timings don’t include getting to and from the airport, and delays, and for a wedding it would have been too much of a risk for the plane to be delayed.
The bottom line is that MM didn’t want to look like she had been unfaithful, but it appears she dumped Vitiello within days of meeting Harry, and was away pitching for a project days later in May in New York. As much as the press have tried to cover it up, and have pushed the blind date story with a July date because that’s the only time the two were in the same country at the same time, people don’t believe it. There are too many holes in the story, and people tend to mistrust those who lie and deceive. Those who remain quiet enable the lie, and is that what Vanity Fair has done?

“I laughed when I saw Meghan’s outfit for Royal Varity show. The top looks just like “dudou”, the ancient Chinese equivalent of a bra. It feels like she was wearing her underwear outside. Very weird outfit.“ – Submitted by Anonymous
Queen Máxima arrived this Friday morning at the Costa Salguero center, to participate in the G20 summit. She will do so as a special advocate for the UN Secretary General for Inclusive Financing for Development. It does not represent Netherlands, whose delegation will be headed by Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
Hello Everyone!! Yes, it’s a very good day to be anti-Meg…#Megxit campaign has entered Phase Two. (This is long, so I apologize in advance)
If you’ve noticed the anti-Meg articles are appearing everywhere…no longer can even the most sugary media outlets ignore that sentiments toward the Duchess of Suck-excess have shifted dramatically.
Remember when I told you that the palace PR campaign would be a “drip, drip” one? Here’s the “Irish Independent” reporting on Nov. 27, “By and large, until now, the anti-Meghan sentiment has been drip fed into to our newsfeeds that it’s hard to pinpoint exactly when the tide turned.”
YES. The tide has indeed turned as planned by the royals most trusted advisers. This is not heartless, there is more at stake than most people know. I don’t have to tell you the reasons why it’s imperative the public image of the RF stays without blemish as much as possible.
Oh, but you may say isn’t this a scandal, isn’t having anti-Meg press a blemish? IF Meghan is allowed to ruin the RF that would not only be a scandal but a real catastrophe.
The Royal Family has endured scandals and divorces–we all know that. And this PR war wasn’t started by the royals, it was started when Meghan manipulated Harry into a marriage under false pretenses.
Now, let’s get to the juicy parts. Holding back on the Kate/Charlotte bridesmaid dress fiasco story was a palace PR decision–and a wise one. You see if this would have leaked at the time it happened, any good press from the wedding itself would have been overshadowed by this infighting.
Good PR is knowing when to release bombshells–they have to be timed for maximum exposure. The wedding was so HUGE in the news the Kate/Charlotte incident would have been wasted at that time–that’s why they waited until Phase Two to start leaking this info.
In the coming weeks expect more atrocious anti-Meg stories from the wedding. Pro-Meg PR will be from connections Oprah has in certain American press outlets and beyond. This is because Oprah is dying to play the race card against anyone who dares lash out at MM. Of course, MM also has her PR people going 24/7 but they have been eclipsed by the anti-Meg leaks. That’s why she is turning to Oprah.
And Meghan is aware something has gone very wrong. She knows she is being outmaneuvered by palace PR. In fact, it was at Eugenie’s wedding that Meghan knew something was about to explode.
MM tried to chat up Kate before and after the ceremony and Kate made it clear, my source says, “That Meghan was not going to be forgiven.” Then, when Harry wanted to go the reception, MM thru a fit. She didn’t go as we all know.
Palace gossip is later, when Harry stumbled home, MM was heard loudly saying, “She hates me and so why do you talk to her?! I haven’t done anything wrong! I’m the one who has given up everything.” Harry tries to calm her down…and she yells, “I don’t care who hears me– f*ck them all!”
Meghan’s also upset over the Frogmore banishment. When that news got back to BP the Queen had little sympathy, said my source. They said PP asked, “What’s she going on about now?” HM responded, “She is going on about not wanting to move. But it’s for the best. It’s time she learns who is really in charge. She isn’t the star, here.”
Palace gossip is additional aides and staffers are threatening to quit. My source spoke to one who said, “She’s a nightmare. She screams and yells at all hours. PH tries to apologize but he can’t control her. People here are starting to not feel sorry for him anymore. Yes, he looks so depressed, but we won’t put up with her abuse much longer.”
They describe MM as being paranoid, now. She yelled at one staffer, “Did you leak to the press?! I’ll find out who did and when I do they won’t know what hit them!”
Well, I think MM won’t know what hit her. Phase Two of the PR campaign will last for a time and then there is the final phase. Phase Three is more intense.
I used to think I was tough, but then I realized I wasn’t. I was fragile and I wore thick fucking armor. And I hurt people so they couldn’t hurt me. And I thought that was what being tough was, but it isn’t.
Thursday‘s first-ever International Jaguar Day is an opportunity to reflect on the important conservation efforts underway aimed at guaranteeing the jaguar’s survival.
The jaguar is the third largest big cat in the world, yet 50% of jaguar species have been lost due to human activity, including land clearing for development and agriculture, as well as poaching. Today, 90% of the remaining jaguars live in the Amazon rain forest.
Our colleagues at the United Nations Development Programme are working with governments and local communities in Honduras, Mexico, Peru and Ecuador to conserve the jaguar’s natural habitat and monitor the activities and well-being of the big cats. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: UNDP Ecuador / Victor Utreras
Marvel could continue Stan Lee cameos by inserting photos of him at random places and scenes in every future Marvel film and create a “Finding Stan” cameo that will continue his tradition.
I wouldn’t be so sure about the “happy family at Sandringham” part. I did a reading on Doria and yes, I think she will VISIT but not for the reasons being pushed out right now.
I concur.
The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.
There’s been a major development over the past 24 hours: another member of Congress just came out in support of the House Congressional Review Act resolution to overturn FCC Chairman Ajit Pai’s net neutrality repeal.
This is a big deal and could help push other lawmakers do the same, but we have to act fast because the deadline is just over a week away.
We’ve been fighting for months without seeing any movement in Congress, watching the clock ticking down to the deadline. But Rep Joe Morelle (NY-25) his support for the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution could change that.
If we act fast, we can leverage this new momentum to unleash a small landslide of other representatives coming out for net neutrality before the December 10th deadline, which will make a huge difference in the battles ahead.
Your voice matters. As part of today’s Internet-wide day of action, thousands of others are speaking out, along with celebrities, musicians, and websites like Tumblr, Postmates and Etsy.
You can join them and show your support for net neutrality by submitting an ‘I support net neutrality’ photo. We will be flooding lawmakers’ social media feeds with pictures, so if they decide to vote against the open Internet we will make them look us in the eye as they do it.
We can’t let this deadline come and go without making Congress remember that the whole Internet is watching. We’re still fighting for net neutrality. And we won’t forget if they betray us.
Tell everyone you know to take action at DeadlineForNetNeutrality.com and spread the word any way you can. Click here to find ideas on how you can use your slice of the Internet – whether that’s your Tumblr blog, a website you run, or any of your social media accounts – to help get the word out.

I’m 100% biased but I think rural Aberdeenshire has some of the most beautiful places you’ll ever see. This is a photograph I took- no filter at all- the last time I went back home. This is about ten minutes drive from where I grew up and a couple of minutes walk from where my dad’s parents live. This is where I grew up, this is my home, and it’s exquisitely beautiful. You should definitely go.
