I hit the brilliant Gustav Vigeland's sculpture garden today. This is where we meet my friend Michael Fassbender's character in the film I'm here doing a cameo in. It's called "The Snowman". Even though Oslo was the coldest place in all of Europe two days ago, I'd happily spend a couple of months here, to hang out with Michael and my new friend Tomas Alfredson, who is as kind and sensitive a director as one could ever ask for. He did an incredible job in TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY, and was clearly a main reason for Gary Oldman's much deserved nomination.

Michael is in the top ten actors alive today. He has been flawless in everything I've seen him, but even if I'd only seen any 8 minutes of STEVE JOBS I'd say this. There aren't many things you can't fake in movie acting, but genius is one of em. He simply owns your mind while he rips thru inspired banter and monologues by Aaron Sorkin- and the real genius that is in him, comes out in every moment. And Kate Winslet isn't even recognizable for the first 10 minutes- spectacular partnership and collaboration between the two for two hours of joy.
