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?

LadyClarice, that previous link doesn't work. I managed to find another one (from ScifinewsDE, I think) that hadn't been pulled yet.

Also hope that Benedict won't let the paps get to him. (And not just because I hope to make it to London sometime in the next six months and will be using public transport...Stranger things have happened!)

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 18/12/2012 13:46

Grin Well, every time I get the tube I indulge in a mini-fantasy about Benedict being on it.

Watched the trailer. GOOD voice work, say I.

Am thinking naughty, naughty thought when I hear him say "You think you are safe. You are not." Hardware may or may not be involved.

And LadyClarice, now you've got me going. Remember that scene in "Risky Business" when they were in some train? Yeah. I'll be taking a cold shower now.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 19/12/2012 10:30

Sadly, I don't remember that ... which obviously means it's too long since I saw Risky Business! Must rectify that.

LadyClarice, just go to YouTube and search "Risky Business train". Lots of hits. [fans self]

LetUsPrey · 19/12/2012 19:31

Isn't Risky Business the one with Tom Cruise?

One of my favourite bits from A Study In Pink

Love this picture

That's the one, Prey, long before he got all...weird. Since DH is an orthodontist, we love watching his old movies where his teeth are all wonky. (He was missing a tooth, so his middle line [i.e. facial symmetry] was shifted....)

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 19/12/2012 23:23

Oh God, Cumberbuddy has posted a series of sex gifs...I'm SUNK.

LetUsPrey · 19/12/2012 23:50

This is one of favourite photos of him ever

Those gifs! Wow Xmas Grin

Listen to the sound excerpt on Cumberbuddy - I think it says it's from The Pillow Book.

Looking at this photo of his legs is like looking at an anatomy textbook. Well, like an anatomy textbook that is published by a company that also publishes porn.

Am currently vetting the red wine we selected for Christmas dinner. Seeing as I'm halfway through the bottle already, I don't really give a toss how the damn goose will taste if this stuff is on the table. [hiccup]

LetUsPrey · 21/12/2012 18:15

He does have rather nice legs, doesn't he?

Very strong legs I would imagine. Very powerful. Yes, strong and powerful and .. and .. back in a bit.

Where was I? Have a picture of his hand

This is funny Xmas Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 21/12/2012 22:28

Just came back from the cinema -- The Hobbit. It was...meh. I thought Martin was great (when he was actually on screen), but even thought I loved the original LOTR trilogy, I actually fell asleep twice. My favorite parts of the movie:

  • seeing the ST:ID trailer (even though Debbie-Downer DH kept saying it was "too dark" -- well duh, you did read the title, right??)
  • seeing Benedict's bulked up silhouette for 2 seconds.

OK, enjoy this. I'm going to be in my bunk and hope to Christ that my kids don't wake up at 5 am like they did yesterday and proceed to fight on the stairs (which are tiled and therefore echo like crazy and make me think I live in an indoor pool).

FrankelcenseAndMyhrr · 22/12/2012 10:03

I saw The Hobbit last night too, but I loved it Grin. If you listen very carefully when the Necromancer appears briefly you can hear BC's voice whispering.

Only disappointment for me was no Star Trek trailer Sad

LetUsPrey · 23/12/2012 20:50

It's nearly Christmas so:

Pilotbatch

Might be back with more later. Xmas Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 23/12/2012 20:58

Oh my god, I forgot how young he looks in the pilot. He looks like a teenager who's just growing into his man's body. (Which doesn't in the least make me not want him. Just makes me feel a little dirty doing it. What's that saying? "15 will get you 20"?)

Happy Christmas all!

FrankelcenseAndMyhrr · 23/12/2012 21:24

Hurrah for Pilotbatch Wink

More on Star Trek villainy

FrankelcenseAndMyhrr · 24/12/2012 10:35

I dear lord, I've just noticed the handcuffs. I'm, erm, I mean, er,

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 24/12/2012 13:20

I keep telling myself, 'Tis the season to NOT think smutty thoughts, 'tis the season NOT to think smutty thoughts....And then Frankel goes and posts that picture...

Good thing New Year's Resolutions don't take effect for another few days.

Ooooo, get you Frankel Xmas Grin

A little Christmas present to myself Gingerbatch

And this is BC watching me undress after a night out together

This is the cover and article from Empire magazine.

As pointed out on Cumberbuddy's Tumblr (I love Cumberbuddy) look at the size of BC's hands compared to Chris Pine's

Comments by Chris Pine. Intimidating? Searingly intelligent?

Merry Christmas everyone!

LetUsPrey · 26/12/2012 00:15

Remember this?

Yes, reading is sexy

BC + boots = lushness
