Hello lovelies!

Hope the title meets with everyone's approval.

I have just one thing to say at the moment, a propos of the John Finnemore thing in the last thread: 'pub kitten'? 'pub kitten'?!!? Just how cute does that sound?

Well I was going to post some links when I was on the laptop but Tumblr was broken. Gutted.

holmessweetholmes · 13/12/2012 15:55

Mmm StarfleetBatch. Can't wait to see the trailer on the big screen on Saturday!

Frankelstein · 13/12/2012 16:03

BC has got a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a mini-series Grin. No nomination for MF or for Sherlock as a show Sad

LetUsPrey · 13/12/2012 23:38

Links better late than never.

Have some SuitBatch with a rather nice tie

Hahahaha

Gulp

Frankelstein · 15/12/2012 08:53

I need me one of these Grin

LetUsPrey · 15/12/2012 20:15

I know what I want, and it isn't a t-shirt Xmas Grin

holmessweetholmes · 16/12/2012 18:15

Ok, so I went to see The Hobbit. Really enjoyed it... but no bloody Star Trek trailer!!! Why why why? I was soooo looking forward to it!

Frankelstein · 16/12/2012 20:09

That's disappointing holmes Sad

How adorable is this picture?

holmessweetholmes · 16/12/2012 20:19

Awwww!

LetUsPrey · 16/12/2012 20:51

Is it the case that the Star Trek trailer is only on at the iMax showings of The Hobbit? Still going to take DS1 to watch The Hobbit whether he particularly wants to or not

Oooh, they've just been showing Frankel on Sports Personality of the Year. Thought of you Frankelstein Xmas Grin

Frankelstein · 16/12/2012 21:44

I thought "normal" screenings got a trailer and IMAX got the first 9 minutes.

Saw Frankel Grin - he should have been a nominee Angry

LetUsPrey · 16/12/2012 23:07

Will report back after DS1 and I have seen The Hobbit.

Photos from Cabin Pressure

His eyes in this photo - rather nice

And always happy to see this

Frankelstein · 17/12/2012 07:42

According to Twitter, the new Star Trek trailer is being released at 8.30am Califonia time today - about 4.30pm ish for us

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 17/12/2012 09:52

So is Benedict in the Hobbit film, or is he just going to turn up in the later ones?
Bit confused; I didn't think he was in this one but then read a tweet saying 'I didn't know BC was in this until I saw his name in the end credits.'

I still don't think I can sit through the film though, even for Benedict.

From my understanding The Necromancer features very briefly in this first film, hence the credit. His main role will be in parts 2 and 3.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 17/12/2012 11:47

Ah, I see. So definitely not worth going along, and just sleeping/eating popcorn in the between-Benedict bits then. Grin

I am actually considering seeing whichever ones he's in as the dragon. He's such a great physical actor and I bet he does a terrific job. But can I sit through 2 x 3 hours of Hobbit boredom???

I'm looking forward to watching The Hobbit on Friday at the local cinema (original English version, so I get to hear Benedict!).

Watched Love Actually last night, and later fell asleep debating myself about who Benedict could replace. I could imagine him in practically every role, except maybe Alan Rickman's role, and that's only because of the character's age. Thoughts?

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 17/12/2012 15:48

Anyone seen this non story?

Can't believe the way people get hounded by the paps, still.

OP posts:
holmessweetholmes · 17/12/2012 16:32

LadyClarice - definitely not worth it for a non-Hobbit-fan! The Necromancer appears for about 5 seconds as a figure in the shadows. You couldn't even tell it was BC!

Frankelstein · 17/12/2012 16:43

Star Trek trailer is out!!!!!

I can't link to it and haven't watched it yet, but links are on Twitter. The video has been released via iTunes so probably isn't on You Tube just yet (12 mins after its release!)

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 17/12/2012 16:46

Thanks, holmes!

!!!!!!!!!! Grin
LetUsPrey · 17/12/2012 20:36

Not sure when I'll get to the cinema with DS1 to see The Hobbit. Our local cinema is right next to a huge Tesco. I really don't think I'll be going anywhere near that this weekend!

That story is ridiculous isn't LadyClarice? I would imagine it's quite scary/intimidating.

Have watched the trailer but with the sound off. It looks EPIC!

LetUsPrey · 18/12/2012 08:25

That should obviously read "isn't it LadyClarice ?"

Have watched trailer with sound. Even more epic!

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 18/12/2012 11:27

Yes, I really feel for both of them. It's that kind of thing that starts slebs going around with security guards, not getting public transport or walking the streets any more, etc. I really hope it doesn't happen to Benedict.

Haven't watched the trailer yet. Saving it for a when-I-finish-work treat!
