March 7, 201411 yr I see the 37 y.o. child got overly excited about Oscar? Can I have what he was smoking, please? Lol
March 10, 201411 yr T Magazine Spring 2014 Well, I am on the fence about these. I love the styling and the set. Ben’s facial expression is relaxed, the angles are most flattering. And I applaud to whoever did the lighting, it’s truly amazing. That being said, I HATE that crazy airbrushing :anger: . I totally understand that this is a fashion/style outlet and they would photoshop everything they place on its pages. But for God’s sake! He is 37, why did they make him look like he is still in his early twenties (or even younger on the cover)?! Was getting rid of his minor lines and freckles absolutely necessary, as if they were a crime against humanity? And where the hell is my favorite mole that used to be on the right side of his neck??? To sum up, I think this photoset could be really great but, unfortunately, this breathtakingly beautiful young man is not exactly Benedict. What a shame. giiiiirl calm down . It's just a magazine. I agree that the photoshop overuse is rediculous but I kind of got used to it. At least they kept some wrinkles on his forehead. Better tell me about your Frenkenstein experience? I have finally watched Star Track btw. I feel like I'm a hero now
March 10, 201411 yr Better tell me about your Frenkenstein experience? Frankenstein was amazing! I seriously envy those lucky people who could watch the live performance. Jonny Lee Miller's Creature blew me away, now I simply must watch the other version and see if Benedict was as good as his co-star (or, who knows, even better, he is quite capable of that). I have finally watched Star Track btw. I feel like I'm a hero now Oh no! Was it a real struggle for you then?

Was it a real struggle for you then? I think he is better as a creature, and the diapers are so funny it was! I mean, when they showed Khan I was like "ah he is so cool! oh, breathe on me someone, please" and in other episodes I was like "gooooosh, when will it end?" I knew this is not the kind of film I should watch but couldn't help myself checking it out. I am on my way to watch Inseperable and Atonement this evening :dance:
March 10, 201411 yr I think he is better as a creature, and the diapers are so funny Haha, the loincloth (that's what you mean, right?) worked for me actually. I guess full nudity might be a bit distracting, especially if Benny C plays the Creature. it was!

I knew this is not the kind of film I should watch but couldn't help myself checking it out. I'm so with you on this. Oh, wait, I did like that funny little guy, Scotty. He added a nice comedy touch to the otherwise totally humorless film. And the music, to me, wasn't bad either. I am on my way to watch Inseperable and Atonement this evening :dance: I haven't watched 'Inseparable' yet. BC's role in 'Atonement' is very small, and his character is disgusting :x . But it was this role that inspired Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss to cast him as Sherlock. Isn't it crazy, the way those creative minds work?
March 11, 201411 yr Haha, the loincloth (that's what you mean, right?) worked for me actually. I guess full nudity might be a bit distracting, especially if Benny C plays the Creature. Yes, I mean loincloth, but it reminds me of diapers, so I I like calling it this way. He had a loincloth with more coverage in the cinema version btw. Oh no, it would be unacceptable. I agree with you on this. I'm so with you on this. Oh, wait, I did like that funny little guy, Scotty. He added a nice comedy touch to the otherwise totally humorless film. And the music, to me, wasn't bad either.I didn't pay much attention to this guy for some reason, I just remember having an impression that the main heroes are kinda weak, not hard to be beaten, only Zoe's heroine showed some strength, Captain Kirk comes across as sweeter than sugar (outwardly), a wishywashy person, Spock is kinda frozen and weird. I was expecting smth. different. It was like plain, boring goodies (which had most of the screen time) vs. a charismatic and cool baddie I haven't watched 'Inseparable' yet. BC's role in 'Atonement' is very small, and his character is disgusting :x . But it was this role that inspired Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss to cast him as Sherlock. Isn't it crazy, the way those creative minds work? It is, but the film overall is pretty good, too sad though. I know, his character is diguisting, but the girl herself was not an angel, I just wanted to slap her when she acted like a little..., you know :x. Not that it makes it all less wrong and stuff, but at least they got married in the end. Somehow it does not surprise me as much anymore. I mean, it's Moffat and Gatiss we are talking about . If I am not wrong, Mark and Benedict had jobs in the same series before Sherlock. Why wouldn't it be the reason to cast Ben? Idk
March 11, 201411 yr It was like plain, boring goodies (which had most of the screen time) vs. a charismatic and cool baddie Speaking of cool baddies, I can't help posting this, narrated by BC: Oh it's good to be bad! Somehow it does not surprise me as much anymore. I mean, it's Moffat and Gatiss we are talking about . If I am not wrong, Mark and Benedict had jobs in the same series before Sherlock. Why wouldn't it be the reason to cast Ben? Idk Yes, they probably had done some work together before Sherlock, but Benedict mentioned 'Atonement' in one of his interviews: I have a slightly strange face. It’s always marked me out as being somewhat period drama orientated I guess. I think the other worldly or at least the other age era thing is to do with something I happened to be marked out for at the beginning of my career and I’m happy to do that. I’m happy to contain old souls from old worlds and they’re wonderfully rich dynamic characters so I think that was part of the attraction to having me play Sherlock in the first place. Although Steven said it was what I did in Atonement that made them think of me which is slightly disturbing but I do get it. I sort of get it. I mean I do have modern tastes and sensibilities but you do sort of suppress that a little bit when you’re playing Sherlock other than that he is in the 21st century and he is masterful with multi media and can scroll or tweet or use any interface as fast as the fastest but Sherlock is a modern man. He is, so it sort of strays into the territory of how to hold yourself, the voice, what class to give him, what sort of shape should I give to him in my mind, his back story, his parentage and when did it all begin? Was he born like this? And I don’t think he was I think he began and that’s what we touched on in series 2 and will hopefully explore more in series 3. As far as being oldy worldy my English teacher always said when I was very young that I was an old soul.

Perhaps I should re-watch 'Atonement' and see if Sherlock was actually showing a little bit in Paul Marshall though.

If it were like this, I would stop being a lazy a$$ and would finally obtain my driving licence I remember reading about it as well, but I just don't see any Paul's showings in Sherlock at all. I mean, the latter might be cold and distanced, but I don't get these creepy vibes I get from Marshall GQ Style

Again, might be quite a bit distracting and probably not so good for safety and traffic . Well, my driving skills suck anyway. GQ Style I like these! I am no fan of Alice Eve, but she and BC look good together. It appears that Khan had actually dated his arch-enemy's daughter before he broke her leg .

I would purposely take the wrong directions and drive around the city all dat long I like the second to last picture. He looks happier to have a hat than Alice around, it seems You mean Khan as Khan? I suppose, she enjoyed it :wub2: 1st pic I am dying to see pictures from the Oscars afterparties with these 2
March 17, 201411 yr I like the second to last picture. He looks happier to have a hat than Alice around, it seems You mean Khan as Khan? I suppose, she enjoyed it Yes, I meant characters, not actors. Frankenstein was amazing! I seriously envy those lucky people who could watch the live performance. Jonny Lee Miller's Creature blew me away, now I simply must watch the other version and see if Benedict was as good as his co-star (or, who knows, even better, he is quite capable of that). I think he is better as a creature, and the diapers are so funny Now that I have seen both versions I think both Benedict and Jonny Lee were fantastic as the Creature. Honestly, equally great, even though each in their own way. On the downside, however, was Jonny Lee's Victor - not quite as convincing as I had expected. He played obsession on the verge of insanity, but, unfortunately, his character didn't give me the impression of a person of superior intelligence. Benedict's portrayal of Frankenstein was way more balanced. Actually, spot on.
April 2, 201411 yr British Airways' High Life magazine basically, Khan on ice wearing the Sherlock's scarf and playing with doggies Cover and editorial Article: http://highlife.ba.com/Destinations/Benedict-Cumberbatch-ice-driving-in-Finland.html A couple of BTS photos and the one published online Source: http://deareje.tumblr.com/, @greenofrichmond on twitter, http://highlife.ba.com/
August 28, 201410 yr Congrats on the Emmy Win :dance: , Hell yeah!!! A major award, well deserved and looooong overdue! I am baffled that he hasn't won a BAFTA for Sherlock yet.
