Orlando Bloom is Deus Ex Machina

Orlando Bloom is Deus Ex Machina

Orlando Bloom rides off on his “Beverly Hills Ducati” motorcycle as he leaves a church on Saturday (December 27) in Los Angeles.

The 31-year-old British actor wore a jacket from Deux Ex Machina, which literally means “god from the machine.” Back in May, Orly shopped at Sydney’s bike store Deus Ex Machina in Australia.

Afterwards, Orly reportedly went out with Aussie model girlfriend Miranda Kerr and got into a fender bender.

The comparisons to all those actors are valid. They are all critically acclaimed actors in the same demographic as Orlando. If they’re not, who are valid comparisons? Those are just a handful of names that he will compete against for roles and none currently have “teen idol” images interfering with their public perception, which Orlando has (or has had up to his last film role 2 years ago). Leo does not currently need to shed a “teen idol” status, therefore it is not an issue that would interfere with his current reputation or status in making movies.

You might also stop putting words into other people’s mouths. Where is there any “wishing bad luck” on anyone in posts 344 or 347?

She was using them as a comparison to Orlando and claiming that they were “busy”. 345 &346 was just pointing out the fact that they AREN’T any busier than Orlando. Then she (?) claimed that none of them had to take a break to shed the teen idol status. 349 rightly pointed out that only Leo could be considered a past or present teen idol, and he DID take a year off to try to shed that mantle.

And @350
So now he is a bad person for trying to make socially relevant films? Sheesh, the guy can’t do anything right, can he. I guess that if he cured world hunger you would claim that he only did it for financial gain.

Comparing Orlando Bloom to Johnny Depp and Tom Hanks is blasphemous! He is not leading man material, neither is he even in the same talent pool as them. NOT.EVEN.CLOSE. Maybe all it takes is a pretty face like Orlando’s to keep your butt glued to a seat for 2 hrs. Good taste is indeed dead.

Who said anything like him being “a bad person for trying to make socially relevant films”? The point is that you cannot make assumptions as to WHY he is making that type of film. The claims of their “importance” to him are all assumptions, that there is no more proof that he is doing something that is “meaningful to him” because of social relevance than there is of wanting to be involved in the type of film that will garner respect or acclaim.

Once again, putting words into someone else’s mouth. No one said he’s a bad person. You simply cannot place a motivation on why he’s doing a film or why he finds something important, no one can other than the person himself . Any attempt to claim to know the reasons why he is interested in a project is simply an assumption. Many assumptions can be made, not all necessarily pointing to altruism, but they’re all just simply assumptions.

@353 + 354 @ 01/12/2009 at 3:25 pm

@353 You clearly weren’t paying attention to the conversation, as they weren’t being compared as actors, only the path of their careers, the ups and downs in them. But if somebody thinks that OB is better than them, they can think so. If they feel like sitting for two hours just to see Orlando’s pretty face, they can do so too. I personally can’t stand Tom Hanks but I like Johnny Depp. Of course, I have liked Johnny Depp since some time ago, when it wasn’t a crime against humanity not to kiss his ass.

@354 At the very least you have to admit that he isn’t doing those to get fame and fortune, if he wanted that he would have probably already accepted one of those movies that are a load of **** but sell lots of tickets. My guess is that he chose that because it means something to him and to gain respect. The subject of “Fools…” is quite specific so I don’t think he chose a “socially relevant” story at random.

when it wasn’t a crime against humanity not to kiss his ass.

Not being sarcastic, it takes guts to say that these days. Was a fan from 21 Jump Street days. Still remember some of his peccadillos both personal and professional. Yeah to see the world kiss his butt now…it is a crime if you don’t, that’s for sure. Meh.

B/K is B/B 2.0. Wait til girlfriend #3 comes along. Then it will be Kerr was such a class act blah blah blah.

So is blasphemous/blasphemy/blaspheme FINALLY replacing the overused and overdramatic “karma!!!!!” as insult weapon du jour? Gotta say I’m relieved. That was beyond annoying. All that condescension and uneducated invocation. All from a bunch of women overly proud of their supposed intellects and educations, tsk tsk. Of course it did highlight the desperation and delusion of the one using it, no matter what side of the ring they chose to defend, and make a mockery of a concept supposedly important to the person of their “loving” and “respectful” obsession. But then, that doesn’t matter really, because none of this is about Bloom and Co. anymore is it? It’s all about the fans and their egos and who ultimately “wins”.
In the meantime, Bloom’s played you very well, such easy pickings, and now has the fame, money, and current fantasy dujour on his arm, living a privileged and glamorous life, all the while he/they watch and mock his fans. Do you really think its just HER who’s been here, taking swipes and stirring up dirt? What else is a fading and unemployed and angry ex-heartthrob got to do?

Then it will be Kerr was such a class act, blah blah blah
———————————————————————————————–
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought that. You know the “haters” are just waiting for him to dump her, cause nobody would ever dump him of course, and then they’ll crawl back all simpering and willfully blind again. Until he chooses, yet again, another one exactly like the first two, well, maybe she’ll be a redhead this time. It’ll be interesting what excuses both the shippers and haters come up with for his choice then. Oh, and I’m sure Bloomie will remain silent as always, hiding, letting his current beloved(LOL) take all the slings and arrows for him. What a catch.

***Do you really think its just HER who’s been here, taking swipes and stirring up dirt? What else is a fading and unemployed and angry ex-heartthrob got to do?***
LOL, I bet we, a bunch of anonymous people who they don’t give a **** about, are all that matters to them. Some people’s narcissism can be seen from space.

***and I’m sure Bloomie will remain silent as always, hiding, letting his current beloved(LOL) take all the slings and arrows for him.***
I can’t wait to know what exactly would you expect him to do. Sounds promising.

You kill me trying to act as if you’re above the fray, trying to establish your own self importance by analyzing everyone on this thread. You care just as much, if not more, than everyone else here. I can tell by your language that you’re the same loser that has parked their ass on this thread and the last since they began, waiting to bash any and everyone who doesn’t have a kind word for your fallen matinee idol. But you’re right, it is about “the fans, their egos and ‘who ultimately wins’”, which is exactly why you haven’t shut your yap in 3 weeks. How about taking that much needed vacation? Paid vacations were included in your employment offer, weren’t they? Well they certainly were included in Bloomie’s.

ummmm to the scary people..... @ 01/13/2009 at 7:47 am

you are all starting to sound very very very weird……commenting about Orlando Bloom as though you know him personally……beyond scary………I think you have all lost the plot and need help……fast!!!!

nice try honey but these fans would just as soon let you get away with a few swipes at Bloom than ever stand for you to turn the focus back onto them and their own behaviours. Yup, only egos and who gets to win in the end matters.

@360-amusing how narcissists are so good at seeing it in others but completely miss it in themselves. Any one in this fandom calling someone else out for narcissism or obsessiveness is very funny! This entire fandoms rep for lunacy and narcissism can be seen from space, ha ha ha.

And I wouldn’t blame Bloom or his friends for coming on here to play mindfuq games with his fans. I say you have it coming to ya.

Well said.

However, it seems that it’s not that they feel they know him or her personally. It’s more of a question of which group gets to say,
“Told Ya”.

The scary part is they seem to figure that if they voice their opinion over and over again, it has to be right, because they say so.

But who says either Orlando or anyone else has to listen to them.
Only they do.

As # 358 “he’sova” put it “It’s all about the fans and their egos.”

So the guy that once was given the chance to shut down a negative rumour about him and instead said that he wouldn’t defend himself every time somebody said something about him and that people could think whatever they pleased about him is all troubled about the posts written here by people he never met? I wouldn’t ‘blame him’ for posting here either, I just don’t think he gives a **** about our opinions. And I don’t think she does either.
But yes, the narcissist one must be me.

You sweating yet, ‘randamay ?
maybe you should be girlfriend
cause you know he never really got over her

LOL!
It would serve this fandom right if they got back together.

Nah, if he had wanted her back, all he would have had to do was say the word. The model wouldn’t have stood a chance.

What a shot in the arm that would be to his current anemic little showmance!
“Orlando’s Lurve Triangle”
“From Showmance to Showdown”
“Orlando’s Choice:Blueblood or Bloodsucker?”
Think of it! All the celebrity gossip coverage all 3 of their attention seeking hearts could ever want. Oooo, just in time for VDay too!

LOL!
Wouldn’t be much of a showdown though.
Miranda could snap that little twig in no time.

You bring an interesting point. If he were so desperate for attention it would be more intelligent to make his love life a Mexican soap opera than to be in a stable relationship, don’t you think?

You say that as if Miranda has some meat on her bones. Kate is 80 lbs, Miranda is 81 lbs. I’m sure Kate is trembling in her fugly designer boots.

Awww, come on. Miranda is at least 90 lbs. ;) Plus she has about four more inches of reach than Kate. Miranda could take her, easy.

True, true. Her dingho claws could make confetti out of the paperweight Kate.

Even crazier! @ 01/13/2009 at 7:52 pm

LOL! And I thought this was the place with the most ‘loony-bin haters’ in fandom (and anti-fandom) - until I checked out ‘PerezHilton.’ Made the mistake of opening the comments thread on ‘Brangelina,’ and those ‘nasties’ and ‘conspiracy-freak weirdos’ almost (I say almost) put this little ‘viper’s den’ to shame.
