What's that word? Hnnnnng??

FrankelSaysRelax · 25/09/2012 21:22

Bless them both

LetUsPrey · 25/09/2012 22:54

Not had a brilliant day at work, but can't click on links as DH sitting very close.

However, Benedict as Bond or Bond's dysfunctional brother/Bond baddie sounds amazing. If he plays a Bond baddie, can I be a Bond badgirl?Grin

Interested in this thread?

DH gone to bed. I've looked at the links.

Grin

Night.

Prey, after reading about tensions, I now have "Sweet Transvestite" running through my head...

"He's good for relieving my tension...."

I guess I could have worse songs in there first thing in the morning.

FrankelSaysRelax · 26/09/2012 18:10

Doubt it. He's not in La La Land for long (he's got to come back for the bike ride) so odds are it was a "meet and get to know your future co-star" thing.

That said, I like Liv Tyler, she's always struck me as someone you'd have a good night out with. So in that basis I would approve.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 26/09/2012 18:33

I would have thought they met ages ago. I was under the impression that work on the film had started and then gone a bit quiet. In my head which is often filled with musings on What's Benedict Doing Now? they already knew each other and were poised to start work on Phoenix and then it was put on hold.

I'd say this is 'I'm in LA, want to go to the flicks?' and nothing more.

Or they could be shagging like bunnies. Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 26/09/2012 19:08

I agree with Frankel, I can't imagine Benedict being romantically linked to her (I get the impression that she could never keep up with him intellectually -- at least going by her commentary on the LoTR DVDs.) I had to laugh, though, at the line in the article about them being seen at the party together. Going by that logic, he must be shagging Zach Quinto (he does play for the other team) AND, of course, Martin Freeman, and probably half of the LA glitterati that were there.

Of course, if Benedict just happened to need a prelude to shagging....oh hell, there goes the FantasyLand Express again!

LetUsPrey · 26/09/2012 19:09

Apparently the photo's been cropped/edited/whatever and there was more than just the two of them. I think.

He can't get snapped near a woman without being linked romantically.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 27/09/2012 07:33

Oh mercy me. Just got an e-mail from Amazon with my most recent recommendations. Those would be (in this exact order):

  • Third Star (DVD)
  • Wreckers (DVD)
  • The Last Enemy (DVD)
  • Parade's End: adapted for television

and three other (mostly) irrelevant things that do not interest me in the least. Strangely, it did not reference anything else I looked up recently (Mad Men, Dexter, True Blood). Amazon must have a private link to my computer.

LetUsPrey · 27/09/2012 08:22

Amazon just looks at me and shakes its head pityingly Grin

I want official Emmys photos.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 27/09/2012 20:37

Words fail me.

FrankelSaysRelax · 27/09/2012 21:01

I can think of words Wink

LetUsPrey · 27/09/2012 22:23

I'm so tired I can barely stand up. I look at that picture and I'd find the energy from somewhere for him Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 27/09/2012 22:40

Don't we need to start thinking up a new tagline for the new thread that's coming up?

And no, I can't think of anything witty at the moment. Except maybe "The BCAS: Because dragons are smoking hot". Sorry, it's late and I got very little sleep last night.

megcleary · 28/09/2012 10:46

Day off, children at school, tea and biccies series one and two of Sherlock back from shop yay. Won't manage them all but bliss here I come.

LetUsPrey · 28/09/2012 16:38

Yes, we'll be needing a new thread soon.

megcleary that sounds like a wonderful dayGrin

Pictures from the Emmys

LetUsPrey · 28/09/2012 23:12

First shots of BC on set of August: Osage County

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 29/09/2012 11:29

Hope he's in character there and not having a celebrity tantrum!

New thread title suggestion:

The BCAS: Come and Tinker With Me, Benedict!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 29/09/2012 20:58

Love this. Especially the one on the right.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 30/09/2012 20:57

Where is everyone?!

Found these for your general amusement:
Wonder if I can upgrade my unit...
Prey, is that you??
I would so totally buy this...

FrankelSaysRelax · 30/09/2012 21:04

Love that last one GreenCard Grin

Clarice I think you've picked a winner there! We'll need the new thread in the next few days, so go ahead once we're done here.

LetUsPrey · 30/09/2012 21:09

My excuse is ironing, indulging poorly-ish DS2 and allowing him to use my laptop, and a lurking DH.

Nice photos NeedsAGreenCard. I have brown hair, but other than that the model in the second photo are like twins. Hahahahahahahaha

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 01/10/2012 09:23

Thanks, Frankel! Is it 1000 posts when the thread is full? I'll try to keep an eye on it, but may need a nudge.

I have one matter arising: Yay!!!
