Agree 100%. And you have heard how he clapped back at Mr. James Wood, haven't you?

Regarding James Wood, isn't it another case of the lady doth protest too much? Beside, think of Summer of '42, a 15 year old boy that beds an adult woman. Such double standards.

Like him and Henry Cavill in Man from U.N.C.L.E...

I agree and enjoyed the movie for them alone since the script was a big letdown for me, having

been a big fan of the original series with Robert Vaughn and David McCallum:

(I always thought McCallum's piece IRL was larger than Vaughn's even though Vaughn always had the biggest gun onscreen!!! :rolleyes:;))

20 Descriptions of Armie Hammer’s Voice in the Call Me By Your Name Audiobook

You’ll be in tears by the end of André Aciman’s 2007 novel Call Me By Your Name. Turning that last page feels like being rudely cast out of the love story between Elio and Oliver, two men who must be together, who have to be together, because, in the words of Faith Evans, “I never knew there was a love like this before.” But if you’re going to be heartbroken, at least let it be via Call Me By Your Name’s audiobook, read gorgeously by the upcoming film adaptation’s star, Armie Hammer, whose voice is the audio equivalent of ordering a Lyft Line and having it all to yourself.

 

In this new excerpt from the audiobook, out October 3, teenage Elio (played in the film by Timothée Chalamet) describes having sex for the very first time with Oliver (Hammer), the 24-year-old graduate student studying under his father for the summer. Elio’s had a crush on Oliver for weeks, and in this scene, we finally learn the significance of the book’s title. In this excerpt (and at all times), Hammer’s voice is brimming with such melody that, if you listen to it long enough, you can probably get drunk off it. Because you’ll need a way to explain to your friends why you have to cancel on your plans because you have a date with Armie Hammer’s voice, here are 20 descriptions of that supernatural sound:

 

 

1. Armie Hammer’s voice sounds a little like Jon Hamm’s voice, if Jon Hamm’s voice was dunked in honey.

 

2. Hearing Armie Hammer say “fuck” in the Call Me By Your Name audiobook makes it totally fine that he had to say “Let’s gut the friggin’ nerd” in The Social Network, because, you know what, some things are just worth the wait.

 

3. To hear Armie Hammer say “languorous” is to feel like Obama is still president, he’s just taking a vacation, but he and Michelle will be back in the White House soon.

 

4. Armie Hammer’s voice is the physical manifestation of those wooden decorative signs at Marshall’s or TJ Maxx that sell for $24.99 that say “Your Husband Called And Said It’s Ok To Buy Anything You Want.” Armie Hammer’s voice sounds like the fantasy of luxury.

 

5. Sometimes, when Armie Hammer is in the heat of a particularly vivid description, Armie Hammer’s voice sounds a little like the man who does the Men’s Wearhouse commercials. You know, the guy who says, “You’re going to like the way you look,” and now you kinda want to Google the nearest Men’s Wearhouse. You know, just in case.

 

6. I suspect that Armie Hammer’s voice would smell like linguini, seasoned with Tasmanian pepper and lemon with Parmesan cheese on top. I’d need to speak with Armie Hammer in person to confirm this.

 

7. You know when you’re a regular somewhere? And there’s a long line, but, say, the barista or the clerk or the tailor motions you around the long line because they’ve got your order ready? That’s what Armie Hammer’s voice sounds like.

 

8. Armie Hammer’s voice is so deep and viscous it sounds like when Beyoncé performs “Love on Top” live and she sings the chorus again and again and again and again, but that last time she sings “Baby it’s you,” she switches it up and

!

 

9. Armie Hammer’s voice sounds like it’s soaked in maple syrup and — surprise! — you’re at Bubby’s, and there’s no line, and lucky for you, your James Beard pancakes with peaches have just arrived to your table.

 

10. Armie Hammer’s voice sounds as euphonious as Oprah’s voice, which is quite possibly the highest compliment you could ever pay another human.

 

11. The way Armie Hammer says “kiss” feels like you have literally been kissed, not by his lips, but by the sun itself. You took a picture of this sun-kissing, posted it to Instagram, and you’ve gotten a lot of likes.

 

12. The way Armie Hammer says, “Call me by your name and I’ll call you by mine,” feels like a shared secret too tender for this savage and cacophonous place called the internet, but here we are.

 

13. Armie Hammer’s voice feels like when you’ve decided to take a nap, but to hell with setting an alarm! You’ll wake up when you wake up, and everyone texting you will have to deal with it!

 

14. Armie Hammer’s voice sounds like when the violins come in on Nelly’s “Grillz,” which is to say that it sounds like the ideal combination of highbrow and lowbrow.

 

15. Armie Hammer’s voice sounds like the opposite of that swish-swish a nylon sweatsuit made in the ’80s, because Armie Hammer has never worn nylon, he exclusively wears corduroy or linen.

 

16. The timbre of Armie Hammer’s voice is identical to the timbre of the bells ringing on the last day of school, when you could dump the entire contents of your backpack into the dumpster right in front of the teacher who wouldn’t round your 89 percent up to an A-.

 

17. Armie Hammer sounds so sumptuous and moneyed, you might think you’ve paid off all of your student loans.

 

18. Armie Hammer’s voice inexplicably sounds like he’s both speaking to you and listening to you and deeply interested in every fleeting thought that pops into your head, even the ones about Mother!

 

19. Hearing Armie Hammer’s voice is like going to the salon and getting a really good shampoo, where they use a little bit of tea tree oil and massage your temples and then say it’s on the house.

 

20. There’s such melody in Armie Hammer’s voice that the devil has to work overtime to get a new Nickelback song in the world, just so everything stays in balance.

Anytime Mr @TruHart1 ;)

 

My favorite is #20 - There’s such melody in Armie Hammer’s voice that the devil has to work overtime to get a new Nickelback song in the world, just so everything stays in balance.

And a close second is #10 - Armie Hammer’s voice sounds as euphonious as Oprah’s voice, which is quite possibly the highest compliment you could ever pay another human.

I did too OneFinger. Waiting until end of November was too daunting, spoiliers and all. So I'll be buzzing down to La Jolla. Not too far. Sounds like it's general admission so I'll line up a bit early I imagine.

I was disappointed to see it was general admission, too. I also plan on lining up early. Maybe we'll run into each other. Always fun to meet other people that post here.

Are you from around there OneFinger? Looks like the theater is at a mall. I attended the Burbank Film Festival last year, also at a mall. Was fun. Arclight has no bad seats, except I try to avoid down front.

I'm currently working in San Diego for the 3rd time. I actually work 5 minutes from the theater. Yes, it is in a mall (currently under renovation). This will be my first time at the San Diego Film Festival but I have attended Sundance in the past.

@OCClient and @OneFinger, I am this close to just driving to La Jolla to catch this movie earlier...please let us know how it was!

Something to whet all our appetites some more.

Would love to see others travel to La Jolla for this. Really looking forward to seeing this.

 

FYI for people that do travel here to see it, the company I work for is shutting down Amtrak (again) this weekend. The train will stop in Oceanside and you'll be bused to San Diego.

The theater is 80 miles from my house, but it's a favorite drive. How far are you @LoveNDino? I just finished my 2nd read of the book and wonder how the movie can be as good as the book, but apparently it is a must see movie. I'm too anxious to wait until end of November.

If it wins best feature, they'll show it again Sunday pm

Assuming you're driving down. FYI the company I work for is shutting down AMTRAK this weekend. The train ends in Oceanside and you'd be bused to San Diego.

Yes, driving. I've never tried the train but would like to sometime. Screening is sold out. I'll probably line up around 4pm. Looks like will be a beautiful day in San Diego on Saturday.

In an interview with Variety, James Ivory talks about Call Me By Your Name, among other things. In terms of (the lack of ) male frontal nudity in the film, he states "Certainly in my screenplay there was all sorts of nudity. But according to Luca, both actors had it in their contract that there would be no frontal nudity, and there isn’t, which I think is kind of a pity. Again, it’s just this American attitude. Nobody seems to care that much, or be shocked, about a totally naked woman. It’s the men. This is something that must be so deeply cultural that one should ask, why?"

 

In the same article, he spoke about his beloved films like "A Room with a View," and "Maurice." Enjoy!

I saw the re-release of Maurice on the big screen in Santa Monica earlier this year. Important movie. I bought the DVD. A Room with a View is a favorite of mine.

 

At first I was worried that the movie Call Me by Your Name had washed out too much of the "stuff" of the book and that Hammer was too old for Oliver's part.

But later I decided not to worry for two reasons.

I was told by people that saw it at Sundance not to worry, the movie is a gem.

If the actors agreed to show frontal nudity, Sony Classics might not have picked it up and I wonder if it would have been paid an entirely different attention, how the media loves to go on about things that might be dirty or controversial. Instead, it's tame enough to garner huge kudos and much dialogue about bisexuality.
