Who Said It? David Brent vs. Michael Scott

BuzzSugar — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 08:00:00 PDT

In honor of this Labor Day holiday, I'm challenging you guys to a quiz featuring the bumbling paper company managers of "The Office" - both the U.K. version featuring Ricky Gervais and the American version with Steve Carell. Let's see how well you've been paying attention when you've spent your off hours with these office mates.

For each question, I'll present you with a quote, and you'll decide whether it was David Brent (Gervais) who said it, or good ol' Michael Scott (Carell). So, do you think you have the smarts to be an assistant to the regional manager, or might you be called an "ignorant slut"? Let's find out...

"The Office" Recap: Episode 17, "Business School"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 13:25:45 PST

This week's heartwarming episode of "The Office" was about the enduring power of paper. (And, since it was directed by "Buffy" creator Joss Whedon, it also involved a bat.) Michael gives a speech at Ryan's business school, emphasizing how important paper is, though he later asserts that people are more important. I definitely cried a little during Michael's scene with Pam. To relive some of the best moment's from "Business School," read on...

Dwight: "Whenever I’m about to do something, I think, would an idiot do that? And if they would, I do not do that thing."
Michael: "Campus. Brings back so many memories that I …would have made.”
Spotting a group of Frisbee players, Michael says to Ryan: “What do you say we get our Fris on before class?”
Michael asks Ryan if, at the end of his lecture, the students will throw their hats, like at graduations.
Michael: "If they did throw their hats, I had a pretty good line for them. 'May your hats fly as high as your dreams.' That was a pretty good line."
Ryan: "It doesn’t apply.”
Michael: "I understand! Wow, relax, spazzy boy. Sometimes you’re such a spaz!" Then he tickles Ryan.
When the bat comes out of the ceiling, Angela stops, drops and rolls.
“If a vampire bat were going to come to America, it makes sense that it would come to a ‘sylvania,’ like Penn-sylvania.” –Dwight

Plenty more great moments, so

Michael: “There are four kinds of business: Tourism, food service, railroads, and sales. And hospitals-slash-manufacturing. And air travel.”
Toby tells Pam he wants to go to her art show instead of his kid’s play: "It’s important to support local art. And what they do is not art."
"Real business is done on paper. Okay? Write that down." –Michael, as everyone types furiously on their laptops
Dwight says he shot a werewolf once, but by the time he got to it, it had turned back into his neighbor’s dog.
Michael says that in facing the big chain stores, David will always beat Goliath. Student says there are five Goliaths, but Michael cuts him off, saying,
"Yeah, you know what else is facing five Goliaths? America. Al Qaeda, global warming, sex predators, mercury poisoning... So we just give up? Is that what we’re learning in business school?"
Jim asks Dwight if he’s cool to just sit and wait for animal control.
"Animal control? I’ve been controlling animals since I was six." – Dwight
“Your art was the prettiest art of all the art.” –Roy to Pam
"A good manager doesn’t fire people. He hires people, and inspires people. People, Ryan, and people don’t go out of business.” –Michael
Michael looks at Pam's picture of the office, and says, "It is a source of beauty. And without paper, it could not have happened. Unless… you had a camera."

Michael Fassbender Confirms His New Romance in GQ

Allie Merriam — Tue, 15 May 2012 11:58:01 PDT

Michael Fassbender's next movie Prometheus is on its way to theaters, and that means one thing - more Michael interviews! He's in the June issue of GQ, which hits newsstands on May 22, and struck a series of hot poses for photographer Mario Testino. Michael chatted about his Ridley Scott action movie, out on June 8, as well as his career. Michael opened up about being disappointed at missing out on an Oscar nomination for Shame, and even spoke about his costar in that film, and current girlfriend Nicole Beharie. Check out all the Michael pictures in GQ, and here are highlights from his interview:

On all the attention about his nether regions after Shame came out: “It’s fun to a point, and after a certain point you worry that it kind of detracts from the movie. But there’s nothing I can do. I just have to laugh it off. I can. Pretty much. Because I take my work seriously but I can’t take myself too seriously. I’m in such a crazy privileged position - shit, this is the pinnacle of the dream when I was 17. Nobody wants to hear really how difficult it is."
On being upset about not nabbing an Oscar nomination: "Ar the beginning people [say], ‘You’re going to be going to the Oscars,’ and you’re like, ‘Whatever, doesn’t matter, don’t think so.’ But after a while it does penetrate. After a while you’re like, ‘Anyway, so I’m going to the Oscars…’ And you start to believe it. And I did. I thought I was going. And then I found out I wasn’t and I was upset. I was very upset by it. The first reaction was ‘What the f-ck…?’ It’s a vanity thing. It does become important to you. And it shouldn’t."
On dating Nicole Beharie: "I’m seeing Nicole, we’re trying to see each other as often as possible. That’s kind of difficult when she lives [in New York] and I live in England . . . Nothing happened while we were filming. We started talking more on the promotion thing. So, yeah, it just sort of unfolded like that.”

Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron Bring the Hotness to Their Paris Premiere

Lauren Turner — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 08:42:16 PDT

Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, and Noomi Rapace got together with their Prometheus director Ridley Scott for a Paris premiere today. Charlize went bold in a blue Stella McCartney dress while Noomi stood out in all white. The sci-fi movie doesn't hit theaters in the US until June, but we got a look at the action in the latest Prometheus trailer just last month. In addition to this film, Charlize also has Snow White and the Huntsman being released this Summer. Charlize's costar Kristen Stewart celebrated her 22nd birthday on Monday and Charlize shared a sweet message in honor of her big day.

Michael Fassbender Is a Robot in the New Viral Video For Prometheus

BuzzSugar — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:23:38 PDT

What's better than one Michael Fassbender? How about multiple Michael Fassbenders playing chess with each other? A few Fassbender clones make appearances is this new viral video for Prometheus, but it's not hot so much as it is creepy. We've already seen a trailer for the film, but this video puts a spin on what we had assumed. In the clip, Fassbender stars as a hyper advanced robot named David, and he's being interviewed about his various skills. In this universe, it appears robots are able to do almost anything a human can do, including understand emotions like sadness and gratitude.

When I saw that first trailer, I assumed Fassbender and his cohorts were of the human species, but now I'm not sure what to think. Are the robots or are these androids from another region? Ridley Scott's Alien franchise seems well suited for viral marketing, and this teaser gives out just enough information to get audiences intrigued. Weyland Industries, the company in the clip, even has its own website to explore. You'll have to wait until June 8 to see the movie, but you can watch the video when you
