I’m not expecting this Benedict Cumberbatch post to be as popular as yesterday’s (yesterday’s was the biggest post of the day, huzzah!). But I just wanted to post these photos because we got MORE in. And they just make me happy. I’m happy with the idea that Sherlock Holmes and John Watson exist in modern-day London, that they are on the side of angels (but they are not angels). That we too can become SherLOCKED. That Benedict Cumberbatch roams the streets of London in his deerstalker. GAH.
You can see even more photos from the set of Sherlock here. At some point, some dude seems to be attacking our lovely Dr. Watson! And at some point, Sherlock seems to be commanding someone on a motorcycle. These are not spoilers, are they? Because even if you’re familiar with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories, there is no way to figure out how the writers are going to modernize and change them, yet still keep the very essence of Sherlock and Watson. We do know that Episode 1 of Season 3 will be called “The Empty Hearse”.
The second episode will be called “The Sign of Three”. Oh, here’s a minor spoiler (only if you’re not at all familiar with the original stories): many seem to think that Dr. Watson will meet his wife in Season 3, in episode 2 – because “The Sign of Three” is based on a Doyle story in which Watson meets his future wife. But what about Sherlock? Will he ever get a girlfriend? Or will he always remain The Virgin to his brother’s “Iceman”? Will Sherlock and Molly Hooper ever go on a date?!!?!?
But here’s my real question: can this utter and complete Cumberbatch adoration be sustained throughout the year? 2013 is The Year of Cumberbatch, you know. We are all going to be thoroughly ‘Batched by December. Some of us may have even gotten pregnant from looking at too many sexy Cumby photos. Can we keep it up? Or will he annoy us at some point? Will there be a Cumberbacklash?!

oh goody, another Cumberbatch post and I was worried it would be a dull Friday.. I like his coat.
I don’t like a Cumby post on Friday, because I’m still exhausted from yesterday, and I actually have to go to work today.
and I am chaperoning the Heiress’ field trip so I am out as well. Good luck to all.
(@Eve – can my non-participation today serve as recompense for the slights from yesterday? I understand we will battle to the death the next go round, but in between battles, I do love viewing your shank collection over sequilhos and tea)
@ J.Eyre:
I don’t know…I need to think about it for a while.
@Eve – I am supervising 27 five-year-olds as some idiot dressed in a faux safari outfit pontificates the merits of the iguana in the earth’s food chain – how much more punishment do you want? WE ARE EATING LUNCH IN A PARK AFTER THIS BLATANT WASTE OF MY TIME.
Speaking of which, I have to go make said lunches. Off to the Eco-Station… no seriously, that’s where I am off to.
I saw a preview of Star Trek and Cumby actually didn’t look that bad in it. Don’t worry Eve I am definetly not moving in on your turf. I don’t want to get shanked.
@ J.Eyre:
Hey, you know I’m a vindictive bitch! That’s an “ok” punishment — but still…they’re 27 five-year-olds, not teenagers (now *THAT* would have been a more reasonable punishment — children may be messy, but they’re at least cute, teens…well, they’re just plain obnoxious).
@ V4Real:
Wise choice.
@Miss Eyre,
Good luck. Rather you than me.
A children’s party place just opened up around the corner from me, whose major selling point is that it has a seperate “adult room” with a bar that is open for the duration of the kids’ party. The next FOUR birthday parties we have been invited to are at this place.
@j.eyre:
I’ll say it’s a blatant waste of your time. A field trip with packed lunches? Oh, come ON. Where is that safari guide’s spirit of adventure? It’s so much more exciting for the children to go to Chuck E. Cheese, & wait quietly for their mothers to get into a brawl. It’s the latest thing.
Once the moms have started with the trash-talking & bitch-slapping, the kids get into the spirit of the thing very quickly. Things get smashed, tiny furniture destroyed, feelings get hurt, & police arrive. Sometimes the moms get arrested & fingerprinted!!
I would so rather have this for my child as a warm memory than some dumb field trip to stalk ladybugs.
Agree. Yesterday’s Cumby post was exhausting & after trying to find the right place to put comments in some kind of order, I went into a tizzy & took to my bed.
This was how I avoided being stabbed for one whole Cumby-day.
@Marie – It’s the scarf I’m after. I think that the BBC site for the show has posted links to where to buy some of the clothing (and wallpaper, and tea kettle, etc) from past seasons, so maybe they’ll do the same for this season.
I’ve been cumberbatched, I’m officially in love with him.
*sigh*
Another one I must watch closely from now on…
I just wanted to say that I love, love, love your coversations under every Cumberbatch post. You never fail to crack me up. I am one of the Cumberbatched ones and used to bashfully confess my love for him here and there (formerly as Justyna) but I decided to give up and offer my help to his lawful owner. Eve, I can’t reply to you but I am officially offering you an alliance (out of fear, of course). My butcher knife is very sharp and effective.
@ Norman Bates’ Mother (formerly known as Justyna):
Your allegiance is much appreciated (and can be occasionally rewarded with Cumberbatch free-passes ;)).
@Eve: And here you said there was no one that would pledge their alliance to you! You got another one! 😀
J.Eyre – keep strong.
If you happen to see any hedgehogs or dragonflies, make sure you report back. And remember, when dealing with hyperactive five year olds that don’t pay attention and all else fails, I point you towards my grandmother’s age old trick – “There’s a tiger behind you!”
She was a naughty ol’ lady.
I’m so shattered today, I’m not sure I can be arsed to stake my claim on Cumberbatch today. It must be the heat. It’s a whole 60 degrees F outside! (sarcasm).
T. Fanty, got a review back from Alonso yet on Warsaw Spies?
@ Jenna:
😀
I love when celebtiches show spontaneous (read: fear-of-shanking induced) reverence.
Oh, that’s so kind of you, Eve. I hoped you would do that. Just say when and I’m ready.
@Eve: You should get more to join the rebellion. Clearly, I’ve been watching too much Spartacus and I now want an army. I think they would come in handy. I would’ve unleashed them by now; do you see these celebitches slobbering over my ex? Sheesh!
@ Jenna:
They pile on the poor guys the moment we blink!
@ Norma Bates’ Mother:
You’re welcome.
@Eve: Seriously! We should spread rumors about our exes (ala Captain Sexy and his little epidemic) so that IF we ever want them back, we can have them with no hussies hanging all over them.
It’s not my fault that he’s so endearing.
@Amanda – not yet, and I’ll bet she’s gone to bed.
Come over here with EsCon and I. I’m sure we can make room for one more on the back of the Vespa. Particularly as Cumby is putting EsCon on the Tommyanna diet of dragonflies, twigs and berries. If it weren’t for all the rampant sex, the poor thing would believe she were back at the convent.
@Amanda – God speed, woman. Thornfield is open for recuperating once Eve/Jenna are done with you.
@Eve – Give me a teenager over a child any day. they may be obnoxious and with attitude (it’s like looking in a mirror) but at least they can form a cohesive sentence.. These little twits took 12 minutes to answer the question “where do you think a Chinese Fire Dragon Lizard is from?” And the teacher kept glaring at me when I would say to a child “you’re a special kind of stupid, aren’t you?” What?!?
@Amelia et al – Jaysus, why do I do this to myself. My specific response to the teacher was “I don’t want to any of the filed trips but if you need someone, I am available” and I got on this one. It’s a sanctuary for smuggled and rescued illegal pets that cannot go home. I spent the day with reptiles, rodents, amphibious creatures and f*ck!ing birds that screamed and tried to bite me through their cages.
In short, I felt like I had spent the day on a Cumby post.
In answer to your question: not on this site, it isn’t.
(now back to reading the actual post)
ETA: Kaiser, that was the most pointless excuse of an article I have ever seen. There was no purpose to it other than to give you a reason to post new Cumby pics. Which is, obviously, absolutely okay with me! Keep up the good work!
I totally agree with you.
The more the better.
He’s a fantastic and versatile actor.
ha ha – yes totally transparent excuse to post more photos. I’m also okay with this.
my partner thinks he looks an aborted polliwog
He should have gone to Specsavers!
Well considering James Mcavoy has 3 major starring role films out this year I;d say he has more to worry about re fan fatigue.
Then you have actors like Fassbender and Cruise who are never off our screen and the likes of Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. I think that questions needs to be posed about Bradley.
Ask me in 2014. I don’t find the guy attractive but having not seen him act in anything, I can’t say anything about him. I will be seeing Star Trek, so I can offer some opinion then. But I am more likely (kind already am) to be tired of Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper then Cumberbatch.
Sigh, Tom Hardy….
You’re right. All of Cumby’s teeth are straight.
(ETA: I actually quite like Hardy, but that snaggletooth drives me CRAZY. Why, oh why can’t he fix it?)
Sold! I’m leaving you to explain that to Eve.
@ T. Fanty:
And I need an explanation!!! I don’t get this sequence of comments (was anything deleted?).
I must know why I’m shanking a bitch.
EDIT: Oh, I see — there’s a glitch with the reply button.
Hey! Stop yelling at me because CB is faulty today. And take that shank out of my side too, please. Hrrmph.
Hardy is perfection! scrambled tooth and all, I have one like that too and my dentist is trying to convince me to fix it… hahaha
Agreed! I think the snaggletooth is adorable. It only adds to his nice smile IMO.
@Marty: Thank you!!! My thoughts exactly. Can you imagine how annoyingly perfect he would be with straight teeth?
@Miss M- Very annoying! I’m already pissed at myself for being so envious of all the people getting hugs, kisses, and photos with him in NY.
Don’t you worry. It just shows how accessible and friendly he is. 🙂
No, I would not go looking for him, no judging who does. But I like the surprise factor, granted the side effect is that I freeze and say nothing. Hahaha
Cumby does have a tiny, tiny bit of “wonky tooth” (very slight, in the front) but it’s adorable. Hardly noticeable at all. I only noticed because he mentioned it, along with his multiple chins.
T.Fanty: I don’t understand what’s happened to the reply system, but I need to ask about Hardy’s snaggletooth. Is it his real tooth? Or is it a capped tooth c/o of a bad dentist? He has such a cute smile, but it really is distracting.
I wonder when he’ll get knighted.
SIR BENEDICT TIMOTHY CARLTON CUMBERBATCH
It needs to happen.
For some of us, 2008 was the year of Sparkles. So was 09, 10, 11, 12 and now 13 with no end in sight. I suspect Bendy’s B*tches are in it for the long haul too.
I have no idea who this is
If the work is good, he will be fine. Star Trek is a great start. Although if during Star Trek he kills or maims, Chris Pine, or Karl Urban, or Bruce Greenwood, or…hell, pretty much anyone from that cast, he’s going in my doghouse for awhile. 😉
@Kaiser: didn’t you say yesterday that one poster per week about Cumby is enough for you? *scratches head*
Not that I am complaining, but you clearly sucCUMBed…A Batch fever?
HA! Yes, we’ve succumbed to this delicious madness…..
🙂
Considering his first major film isnt out yet I think this headline is a little early!!! he has tiny roles in 12 years a slave and August Osage County. Supposedly from early feedback he does brilliantly which I;d expect and thankfully does a great southern accent. So my concern about accents was unnecessary.
He’s a VERY versatile skilled actor and you never see repetition in his work unlike 99% of other actors and especially Hollywood actors so I’d put a big bet on him being around or many years to come. Directors like working with exciting actors and he’s a very exciting actor. He’ll be one of the greats. ie Alec Guinness level of greatness.
I totally agree.
Also agree. I think for up-and-coming actors at least it’s hard to generate a solid backlash until you start getting some US-centric awards accolades and thus have to work that circuit for 6+ months. Hard not to over-expose and/or slip-up, and that’s when the backlash begins.
Oh my goodness he is seriously so hideous why WHY WHY do women like him on here? He is absolutely repulsive!
+10
-1.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.
He’s an actor not a model.
Your guess is as good as mine.
My body recoils at pictures of him but beauty is subjective as hell so who knows.
If he was a woman he´d never get work in Hollywood except as the ugly best friend regardless of talent.
I find calling the lizard alien mutation that is Benebitch Cucumberbutt attractive reaching at best.
But different strokes I guess.
Cumby’s lizard relatives are on their way over to your place, from their cozy terrarium, to ~Have. Their. Vengeance.~
As Maria said beauty is highly subjective. So no shade for not getting it.
In their/his defense (I’m not really a Cumberb*tch but I do like him a lot) he is MUCH better in motion. He rarely photographs in still photos very well. He’s also pretty damn charming and b*tchy in interviews and it’s great. Also, the voice…put it this way he’s the Opposite David Beckham. 😉
I HIGHLY recommend watching the first two seasons of Sherlock if you haven’t seen them.
I know, I don’t get the attraction AT ALL. He creeps me out.
Your loss.
My gain!
He does nothing for me. But each to their own. Hotness is so subjective.
I have to agree. I don’t know whether I’d describe him as hideous, but particularly when he smiles it makes me shudder. Creepy.
Thank you for another Batch post, just what I needed.
No sign of Eve yet? Quick, let’s have at Cumby and then run away!
Playing with fire, aren’t we?
And by “fire” I mean my (very, very, very sharp) shanks.
My poor Eve! Looks like you might have to upgrade to something more deadly than shanks!
@ Marty:
Yup. I already said on a past thread I might need a machine gun soon. But machine guns are not “fun”.
They’re too distant and impersonal. I like the close contact — you know, seeing up-close that desperate look on their faces as I unsheathe my shank.
Excellent. While she’s chasing you, Benny-Hill-style, around a table with a shank, EsCon, Cumby and I are riding off into the sunset on his Vespa.
It was so thoughtful of Cumby to have that Vespa seat re-designed & enlarged so that Fanty & I could both fit on the back. He did make a bitchy remark that, were it not for my bubble butt, we could both have fit on the original seat just fine. ~sniffle~
Be careful, sister wife. Last night, I heard him calling TommyAnna’s for cooking tips..
😉
*side-eyes à la Prince at this whole exchange*
http://highbg.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/b1d25701a4it3m1w.gif
EVE! I loooove that purple tint you’re wearing, girl.
@ Eve:
The purple side-eye of no sex, one might say.
Oh, puh lease…
@Fanty,
Oh, please no more Hiddles’ dinner recipes! Yesterday’s leaf & twig casserole was so repulsive it made me long for the gruel we had at the Convent.
Cumby did try to make it more appealing by scattering dandelions over it, but it was just hopeless.
There are a couple of ways this can go: Cumby can keep making snide critiques of my bubble fanny, or I can take him to a hypnotist who will re-arrange his limbic system & this will take care of the problem. After a bit of brain-tweaking, I expect no further trouble.
And I will tell him that my name is “Amygdala.”
@ EsCon – maybe we simply remind him that in Edwardian days, a well-bred woman of manners wore a bustle to accentuate the very aspect you are giving him, naturally. That should bring out his inner Christopher Tiejens and do the trick.
Failing that, remind him that the one attribute he should be striving to preserve are your well-rounded child-rearing hips. That ought to do it.
Fanty, thank you for the excellent point about the bustle. Yes, Mr. Tietjens might respond favorably to that, although Sylvia & Valentine each had an ass that he couldn’t find with both hands.
And it’s so nice to hear a little respect for “well-rounded childbearing hips.” Usually in life, one just hears “Fat Ass.”
I think Cumby might have inoculated himself against the backlash a bit, by being an occasional curmudgeon and an occasional biznitch in his comments. Plus he’s still very odd-looking and many, many people ‘just dont see’ the appeal. As a result, his coverage has never been all sunshine and butterflies, all boundless adoration. So maybe that, plus his semi-niche fandom will prevent the Cumby backlash.
My thoughts exactly.
I agree. His devotees already know all about his snarky, up-your-assy, occasionally bitchy, but not quite above backpedalling side, and they seem to embrace it. Even love him more for it. His career trajectory hasn’t been fueled solely by adoration, and underneath all the hype he really does seem to be a versatile, committed actor.
I think that, regardless of the pop factor, Hollywood has set its sights on him and it’s just waiting out the year to see if he’s a real movie star capable of carrying a big-budget or Oscar-bait film on his own (I would think more of the latter). His character (whitewashed Khan or whatever) in STiD and his role in The Hobbitses secure his franchise rep, but if he delivers in 12 years, August, and Fifth Estate, his star is set.
Oh, but I do see a bit of a hotness issue for the fangirls this year, because having seen that still from The Fifth Estate, I think the tweeners are going to have to bathe themselves in gigabytes of Sherlock gifs to erase What Cannot Be Unseen.
They really do. They also seem to enjoy mocking him, which is way more fun than the Hiddles fan girls (and might go far to explain his antipathy towards all thing twitter).. Go to tumblr and search “I’m the real” – it’s hilarious.
Actually, here you go:

@ andrea,
Hmmm….that’s a superb point. How can his tweens reconcile that awful Julian Assange hair with their adored ruffled head of cumbercurls? I cringe at that heinous white wig too.
I believe I may have tripped over a theory: Women love Cumberbatch because of his HAIR!! I know I have a weakness for beautiful hair on a man. Hmmm…new person to be jeally-about—Cumby’s hair stylist. Is there just one trusted hairdresser/keeper of the hair secrets? Do they book extra time for his hair appointments just so they can spend an extra couple of hours gently ruffling those glorious curls?Will they write a book about him if he ever forgets to leave a tip?
And will we still love him when he looks like Julian Assange?
T: Hahahaha, even the puffy coat (with you in it) makes an appearance!
Yeah, I think Hiddles’ backlash problem stems from his actively cultivating that princely sweetheart image. Did you see that press line interview where he got all flustered about the idea of playing Prince Charming? Awww. He does seem genuinely sweet, but the fickle, jaded public eats up and spits out sweet. And it can be limiting for the kinds of roles he lands.
If he doesn’t bring something apart from the bad-guy-with-a-butthurt-little-boy-inside to Black Wings, I’m afraid he might get stuck in a rut. Quite excited to watch him in Only Lovers, though, if only to see how he holds up against Tilda and Mia.
Escaped: These are questions that need serious investigating. Didn’t one of his co-stars say something about the entire set being obsessed with his hair? Was that for Sherlock?
I’m thinking he must have one go-to personal hair stylist. Considering how often he changes the color of his hair, it still looks healthy and undamaged. That says expensive product and regular visits to me. I wonder if he/she is hiring. And why haven’t the Tumblr girls unearthed this person’s identity yet?
Andrea, please excuse me while I jump up & down on Oprah’s couch. I am so glad you replied to this. I have these questions in mind as well.
Yes, one entire production was caught up in the Cumbercurls! It was Parade’s End. The director, Susanna White, said that everyone on set was “obsessed with Benedict’s hair.” One of the cutest pics I’ve seen of Cumby has him leaning down to a little girl so she could ruffle his hair. She asked him if she could do that, he smiled & she ruffled. This hair lunacy must be funny as hell for him. I don’t think guys realize how women can go berserk over their hair.
Yes, you’re right about how well taken care of it must be. He does seem to change the color a lot & it still looks very healthy. Hmmm….someone goes to a $600+ per cut stylist?!
Good point about the Tumblr-nuts—you would think they would be all over his hairstylist’s identity & shop location. That person is probably cowering somewhere in a secret Elysian Field of Hairdressing, sure in the knowledge that as soon as Tumblr finds out who they are, they will have to change their name & go underground.
Salman Rushdie thought he had to have round-the-clock security & move to a new safe house every few days? HA! Amateurs!
Eventually, after years of teen/tween stalking, this innocent hairstylist will have a raving nervous breakdown & spend the rest of their days on a terrace at a Swiss sanitarium, paid for by Cumby, for causing it.
Louise Brealey, who plays Molly also just tweeted that as it was her birthday, Cumby let her play with his hair. That’s where the “lift and diffuse” description comes from.
(Side note: I have red curly hair, and even though I’m no posh alien, but people still lose their minds over it. I even get stopped on the street by people wanting to talk about it. Even more so now that I have a matching Fantling. It’s definitely a “thing”)
Escaped (EsCon?): So I just googled “cumberbatch london hair stylist.” Sorry, nothing on the first 2 pages, and I felt like too much of a stalker to keep going. Whoever it is, they’re afraid and keeping it on the down low. But I bet his nosy tweeting neighbor knows. Cumby strikes me as the kind of guy who gets $600 haircuts. Something about the Jag and the frequent dinners at The Ivy, although it’s surprising to me that he only started to get into bespoke suits (because of Martin Freeman, I think) quite recently. He’s going to be doing promos soon, maybe someone similarly Cumbercurl-obsessed will ask?
T.Fanty: A ginger Fantling! Squee! I definitely think red hair is a “thing.” I’m a biracial brunette who just doesn’t have the coloring to go blonde or red without looking like a $10 hooker, so I am amazed by, and infinitely jealous of, bright-colored hair. My favorite hair color on Cumby is the soft red/strawberry blonde (I’m not sure what to call it) he had in Tinker Tailor. Between the mop and the suits? Mhmmmmm.
Hi, Andrea! Yep, I’m aka EsCon. Brava to you for trying to find out who takes care of his luscious mop! I would be shocked to death if that information got out—I think you’re right, it is being kept quiet on purpose.
Someone may have noticed that girls on Tumblr went shop-stalking in London to find out what kind of watch he wears & what fragrance he buys. The Blessed-By-Aphrodite person who happened to get this hairstyling job would be driven barking mad by the “fandom.” That poor person wouldn’t have a moment’s peace! (I have a feeling his hairstylist is a woman.) Good investigative work, though! Laughing at your remark about the nosy neighbor!
Now, how do we get in touch with the nosy neighbor?!
@EsCon – were “those girls” named EsCon, Amelia and Miss Kiki?
*eyeroll*
That is SO undignified. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to climb back under the puffy coat and cling on for dear life. I have to be *really* quiet, so he doesn’t notice me. I’ve been on the Tommyanna woodland diet for the past month so that I’m light enough to be mistaken for his ipad.
(ETA: Amelia had better get her butt busy and dig up an antique butterfly net from the archives, or I’m handing her over to Eve).
@ Andrea:
The ginger is a weird thing. In England, it is almost universally derided, so I don’t doubt that Cumby went through an extremely annoying childhood of being called carrot-top/duracell/Orphan Annie/ginger git (being a boy, the likelihood is strong), only to be followed by four years of puberty being asked if the carpet matches the drapes. In England, the only thing less fortunate than being a ginger is being a ginger boy.
When I moved to the US, it was *so* surreal, as everyone suddenly fetishized my hair. People stopped me on the street, or would simply whistle and say “hi red!” (men and women), and all everyone can talk about is how they want to be a redhead. The fantling has little sausage-y ginger ringlets and people regularly ask if they can touch her hair (to which they get the Stare of Doom and an archness that Cumby would be proud of). It’s definitely an odd thing to suddenly have everyone adore the ginge.
ALL that said, I wouldn’t classify him as a “true” ginge, anyway. A true ginge (in England) is Damian Lewis. Cumby is auburn.
Anna, with your permission, I would jump at the chance to use “occasional biznitch” in a conversation.
*Drools silently from a distance lest she gets shanked*
I rewatched ‘A Scandal in Belgravia’ yeserday on Netflix. Sigh. It was wonderful.
It depends-if he gets good reviews when the movies come out (and he should-he’s a good actor)then I think a lot of people will chill out and accept him completely as a guy who is going to be around for a while. If he has a bunch of near disastrous press like he did last summer, well, there could be more backlash. Thank god Elementary is doing well and we’re past having to hear reporters ask about it. I love him, but even I questioned my devotion when he kept coming off as such a pretentious dick in his interviews.
I think he will be okay because I believe we will only see him if he has to
do promotions for his films. I doubt they will be constant cover and casual paps photos on a daily bases. It is not the constant working its how the exposure is handled.
I like the Cumberhon lots but I will forever and always be a Martin Freeman fan because of the Original Office. Always…I love him as Tim and I loved the way he would gaze over at Dawn. Priceless.
He has really great skin. Damn.
As I recall, Watson already had a wife in a previous episode.. My hubby and I were wondering what ever happened to her? There was a train in the episode..that’s sort of all I can remember about it but we are quite sure that Watson did marry. Hmmmm? Quite confused…. 😐
SEMI-SPOILER (not really, if you’re on this post): Temporary girlfriend. Followed by a whole bunch of VERY temporary girlfriends, who all hated that Watson’s main relationship was with Sherlock.
I don’t know about backlash just yet. Maybe some more Cumberbitches, but I don’t see any backlash just yet. Maybe mid 2014 or so, if there’s any?
Unless he like, murders someone (or gets ridiculously bad plastic surgery or something), I’ll have Cumberbatch fever… for life. He’s so wonderful.
Who is this person?
haha, a british actor mostly known for playing Sherlock Holmes in a modern day adaption, he will also play the villain in the new Star Trek movie and Julian Assange.
Thanks!
Do any of the Usual Suspects want to reply to this? After yesterday’s novel-length post, I don’t have the strength.
I’m sorry, Holden. Will try to do better in future. 😉
@ Holden:
In addition to what Stellalovejoydiver said, he’s famous for playing the creep in “Atonement”.
By the way, he’s also my CB-husband (VERY important info around here, just sayin’…).
I have always thought that people who don’t know him at this point lose a thousand points or two from their pop culture cred.
Thanks guys, Tish, I know the hell out of my C and even D level celebrities in the US, but after Katie Price in the UK – I fall off the wagon.
Its Emma stone you need to write that headline on. How many films is she doing.Its non stop for her and Bradley Cooper.
I never got the Cumberbatch crazy until I watched Sherlock… now I totally get it! Love the show, and love him!
I dont think Tom hardy has proved his box office worth yet. He rode the back of the Batman franchise but on his own the films have not done well at the box office. I’ll be interested to see how mad max does.
I expect he’ll be very good in Mad Max. Is that movie ever coming out, btw?
After seeing him in several roles, I think Tom Hardy is one of the best actors working. He melts into character & isn’t that the point?
If anyone isn’t sure about his range, check “Stuart, a Life Backwards” & his Heathcliff in “Wuthering Heights.” In both cases, I forgot I was watching an actor.
Also, true about the box office.
I have only one word for the title: No.
I think this might be the first Cumberbatch story I’ve ever clicked on – and I only did because yesterday’s generated so much interest.
I see lots of names I have come to love from other stories I follow and I hope at least one of you can help me out.
What gives? I love him as Sherlock. I even own seasons 1 and 2 😉 But I really don’t get the level of excitement he generates here. Can someone explain?
ESCON!!!!!!!
Get your little wimpled butt on twitter, pronto!
(there you go, Miss Eyre. Done.)
Sigh….oh, all right. Damn Twitter. But if my favorite bitches request my presence…..sigh again.
And it’s dimpled butt, Fanty. Dimpled.
Please don’t make your twitter name Dimpledbutt. It’s been traumatic enough to discover that Miss Eyre shares a moniker with a lesbian stripper from Australia (completely true, btw).
Oh my! T.Fanty, warned me about the Australian stripper before I followed j.eyre, hahaha…
I’m so bummed that twitter doesn’t do group pms.
Me too! :/
Whaaat?! How did Miss Eyre get the same twitter name as an Australian, lesbian, or any other kind of stripper? And didn’t she say she was once a burlesque dancer named Trixie?
How was this screwy name gaffe discovered? How do I find Miss Eyre on twitter?
How about I just send you hundreds of questions on Twitter, like this?
I don’t have the faintest idea what to name myself for this. Hmmm…..I’ll need a little while to decide. I’m indecisive.
It isn’t that he’s handsome in a conventional way, but he’s arresting looking and, he can act,he was very good in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, IMO. I also like his voice, it’s very deep. I thought they were handing him a wand in the first picture and he was a wizard. I wasn’t unhappy about it. He and Freeman are my favorite Sherlock and Watson.
Is it a week (weekend) of Cumby on CB? 🙂
