Benedict Cumberbatch Appreciation Society: those eyes, those cheekbones, THAT voice!

[CaveMum]

Seeing as the Sherlock discussions are dying down I thoguth I'd start a new thread for all the BC fans out there - judging by the number of MNers with him on their "List", he surely deserves his own thread.

So here it is: a place to share videos, pictures, articles and whatever else you want. The only thing I'll say is that I'd appreciate it if no one posted a link to the video(s) of BC dancing at a wedding. Apparently it was stolen from his ex girlfriend and is the cause of much upset. So lets be respectful. Otherwise, anything goes

I'll get us started with some personal favourites:

- pay close attention to the wink @ 0.42 and his whip action @ 0.51

And finally some gratuitous , with my personal favourite the black and white shot featured at 2.53 [drools]

Have had quite a stressy morning at work. No time to even look across the picture or two I have on my desk. Lunchtime now. Clicked on the picture link from LadyClarice and felt a calmness descend!

What's the scene from A Study In Pink? I am too impatient to wait until I'm home!

LetUsPrey, all I've posted here is one still from it, so you can safely click on it at work! If you feel like watching the actual scene again on DVD or whatever (and who wouldn't?!?), it's the three-patch-problem sequence, when he's lying on the sofa and it looks as if he's shooting up. John comes home and catches him at it and is horrified, but it turns out he's applying nicotine patches. The beginning of the scene is a long shot of Benedict on the sofa, from above. Shows off the cheekbones/eyes/lips/hands beautifully! Also the end bit, when the nicotine patches kick in, gives me very filthy thoughts ? you'll see when you watch it .

Decided to YouTube it so I could watch it all over again! . And I was wrong ? the best bit is at the beginning of the clip.

Thanks for that LadyClarice. I'm sure that if I accidentally click on a YouTube link at work, an alarm goes off somewhere alerting The Powers That Be.

Had a look at the picture. Great description of the scene too!

I love the bit at the end of The Great Game/beginning of A Scandal In Belgravia where he's holding the gun on Moriarty and it does loads of close ups and loads of long shots. I love how he looks in a suit, long and lean. Would also love to see how he looks out of a suit.

Good grief, I want to lick him.

Yes, I'm a bit scared of using YouTube at work as well. Although my IT colleagues must know about my obsession with interest in Benedict anyway, just by dint of my activity on MN/Twitter/Facebook during work hours.

'Good grief, I want to lick him.' I have some quite ... vivid ideas about that too.

Christ, really must get on with some work. Difficult though, isn't it?

Lol at wanting to lick him, my thoughts exactly!

Yy to the scene where he's lying on the sofa, just stay there Mr Cumberbatch and I will come and join you

That picture is on the Sherlockology website to be downloaded as wallpaper for your computer! It has the message:

Baker Street
Come at once if convenient
SH

Come at once, indeed [lowers tone considerably]

Is it really?!?!

Thanks!

If inconvenient, come anyway. SH

(How could it possibly be inconvenient?)

Could be dangerous. SH

(One can dream)

I am sad because I can't change my wallpaper on my pc at work. Tis forbidden. No way I can change it on the one at home!

I want him as my phone background but I would be found out.

Sorry, but it's the "Come at once" that gets me

I'm sure I would Mr Cumberbatch, I'm sure I would

[takes cold shower]

Now for me, it would last for ages. Many, many, many times!

Oooooh Do I want 'The game is on' or 'come at once' as my background???

Ladyclarice, I'm sure you've seen it already, but I've stumbled across John Finnemore's blog where he has absolutely 100% confirmed (on 31st December) that there will be another series of Cabin Pressure later this year, he's writing it at the moment

I've signed up with the BBC mailing list for information about recordings and the like.

In the meantime I found this on the blog. He's rather a good artist!

OMFG

I am speechless.

Wow! Now that is a gooood photo!

How about this one?

Oh FFS, am I to get anything done today?!
That last picture; his arms!
Wowsers.

BTW, Prey, there may well be an "at once", but soon followed by "again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again,and again, and again," etc

Both those pics are A-MAZ-ING! God I could stare at those all day.

I am ill so have missed a lot of the posts. I did persuade DH to watch 4 Lions with me on Saturday and feigned complete surprise when BC appeared and said to DH "ooh, I had no idea he was in this"

I have looked at those recent photos.

I want to be eloquent and produce beautiful prose in appreciate.

All I can come up with is:

Fuck. Me.

FFS in appreciation. That's how flummoxed I am.

So domineering
