Hope this meets with your approval. It was getting a bit full on the other thread so we've extended and now need to decorate the new space.

For the walls.

Odd bit of business: apparently BC is going to be a guest DJ on this website; Sam Neill's vineyard! Hmm I guess that means BC is in New Zealand for filming The Hobbit now, or will be soon. I've no idea what guest DJing on a website actually involves, but I'll be keeping an eye on it!

LetUsPrey · 17/02/2012 12:44

I would think he needs a slightly older woman, ie me.

He's definitely been in LA lately filming Star Trek, but as we don't know what role he is playing, it is perfectly possible that he is finished with filming already.

Reports suggest he will go to New Zealand from LA, but he may well be splitting his time between the 2 projects. As he's not a "lead", as it were, in either film he won't be needed on set all the time. I read that The Hobbit is due to wrap up in the Spring, so he'll certainly be out there fairly soon.

LetUsPrey · 17/02/2012 13:00

My sister was out there until quite recently. Given her track record, she may know someone who knows someone who knows something.

See, I think BC could do with a bit of a breather in between all this filming malarkey. So obviously he should pop by to see me for some nice relaxing time.

Although if I'm being completely honest, he wouldn't get much chance to relax. Recover in between - yes, relax - no. Grin

The Beeb have put out some promo pictures for Parade's End which will be on BBC2 later this year.

Be still my beating heart Grin

DesperateHousewife21 · 17/02/2012 14:55

Oh he looks so dashing seriously how does he do it? Every look of his is so utterly perfect no matter what century or character he's portraying.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 17/02/2012 15:04

He looks more handsome and less 'large and untidy' than Christopher Tietjens is described as. It's slightly odd casting IMO; Benedict can obviously do posh and stern enough, and no doubt can carry off the self-effacing aspect of the character, but he just looks a bit too ... svelte.

However. Benedict AND Rebecca Hall? (my girl crush)? BRING IT ON!

DesperateHousewife21 · 17/02/2012 15:06

Is it odd that I feel jealous of people who even get to just touch him??

LetUsPrey · 17/02/2012 17:01

Not odd at all DesperateHousewife. I feel the same way!

"Posh and stern" .... oh yes, yes please.

. Strange ending though.

Some lovely quotes (and images) there. Yes, bit grim at the end though.

LetUsPrey · 17/02/2012 18:49

I'm only eight minutes into but it's all very very good so far. DH has just got home. I shall catch up with it later.

OP posts:
LetUsPrey · 17/02/2012 18:56

Meant to say that in that recent video there are quite a few close ups of his mouth. My word, his mouth is just beautiful. I would imagine - who am I kidding? - I have imagined that he's very very good with his mouth. Very talented. Blush

And he seems to have quite big feet. Just saying. Wink

Which video? It won't show on the iPad (and I wanna see it!!)

Fluffymonster · 17/02/2012 19:11

DesperateHousewife yes I know what you mean. Envious of anyone who gets to be in his orbit. Oh to be one of his props even!

Omg prey! That video looks amazing - and only seen about 2mins. Will have to catch up later as DP home, and sat across the room on the sofa. Phew.

May have to drag him upstairs (kids away tonight hurrah!) for some BC roleplay. In a roundabout way he's kind of been quite 'good' for us. Wink

LetUsPrey · 17/02/2012 19:15

Completely agree Fluffymonster. My DH should be bloody grateful to BC. Grin

SeaShellsDreamingOfSummer · 17/02/2012 19:21

Prey...video...don't make me beg!!

Watched starter for 10 last night. Win win all round, dh loves Rebecca hall, BC was hilarious, all round good film :)

LetUsPrey · 17/02/2012 19:28

Sorry SeaShells. I was practising my "making people beg" technique (not really) for when I meet BC and I make him beg - more than twice!

The video is 13.5 minutes long and basically seems to be a collection of many photographs of BC fading from one to another set to different songs. Like I said, I'm only eight minutes in so I don't know if there's anything different in the last 5.5 minutes.

Imagine all the pictures that have been posted in this thread and the last one shown one after the other and you'll get the idea!

Grin poor man Grin

LetUsPrey · 17/02/2012 20:08

Oh my goodness. I shall post before I have to log off the laptop for the evening, although I'll be back later on my iPod. Smile

I think this is one of my favourite videos so far. Lickable is not the word.

OP posts:
DesperateHousewife21 · 17/02/2012 20:21

It won't load on my phone :(

I agree with BC doing wonders in the bedroom (if only I meant that literally) looking at all the pics made me pounce on dh after ds was in bed tonight.
Feeling slightly less...pent up now!

megcleary · 17/02/2012 21:44

yum

LetUsPrey · 17/02/2012 22:44

Ignore the link in my last post. I mean, it's okay but I could do without all the floaty hearts. I'm trying to find it now.

OP posts:
LetUsPrey · 17/02/2012 23:00

Can't find it on YouTube on my iPod. Will try to post it tomorrow. Night.

OP posts:
LetUsPrey · 18/02/2012 09:24

Well, that's strange. Back on the laptop this morning as DH has gone out with the DC. I've clicked the link in my post and it's the right one, but when I viewed on my iPod it's a different video.

Anyway, if you search YouTube for Benedict Cumberbatch "I'm Not A Fashionista", it should bring it up. Having said that, I searched for that on my iPod last night and it couldn't find it. Vair strange. Another mystery for Sherlock Grin.
