What is the Fassbender Scale, you ask?
Let’s examine this casting as an example.
Character: Edward Rochester in Jane Eyre, adapted from the novel by Charlotte Brontë
Book description: “I recognised his decisive nose, more remarkable for character than beauty; his full nostrils, denoting, I thought, choler; his grim mouth, chin, and jaw—yes, all three were very grim, and no mistake.”
Verdict: This is a hot man playing an ugly man, simple as that. Queens would abandon their thrones to hole up in a country estate with Fassbender’s Rochester.

Glom Talks: Litsy Co-Founder Todd Lawton On How Social Media Has Changed The Way We Read
Glommable: Many have always considered reading a solitary experience, but this app feeds into young readers’ urges to document their progress and share with friends. Do you think this urge is a recent development of social media, or has there always been this innate desire to share?
Todd Lawton: We like to say that the second best thing about reading a book is talking about it. I think this has held true for as long as we’ve had books to read. The ease and reach of social media takes the conversation to a different level. What I love about Litsy is that it doesn’t matter at what point of the book you find yourself, where you are, or who you are around, when you have something to say about a book you can say it on Litsy. It’s an always-present reading companion.
