New thread for the premiere of the new film. Hope it's okay Grin

Excited for Friday's Graham Norton show!

Going to message my friend about booking tickets for next Friday.

Just got back from New Jersey (unofficial nickname: The Tollbooth State) and was finally able to get on Tumblr for the first time in four days...

Found this
and this
and this, which makes me giggle uncontrollably.

And then I found this, which reminds me of that scene in "Out of Africa", and then my imagination just gets off and running.

I'll be in my bunk. Only one full day of hols left in the homeland and then we're flying back to Yurp!

Nice set of links GreenCard Grin

Happy trip back!

Back home again, yippie! Kids are stapled to their mattresses, they will probably wake around 3 or 4...

Went for Chinese food for lunch before the flight, and they had those paper placemats with the zodiac animals. 1976 was a year of the Dragon (ooh! Smaug!)...and apparently Dragons are well suited to Rats, preferably marrying one later in life. My birth year, 1972, was a year of the Rat... (Yes, I did have a connecting flight through FantasyLand.) And I had to think of Cabin Pressure a lot today, starting with that little eponymous doohickey on the inside of the plane door, then someone was talking about drag and thrust, and then the main attendant looked like Stephanie Cole.

I'm hoping we get some new pics soon. BC has lots of film festival appearances lined up apparently, not a surprise considering he's got at least 4 films due out before the end of the year!

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 29/08/2013 09:58

I think there'll be loads of red carpet stuff, yes. The Observer had an 'upcoming cultural things' feature last weekend and it had a Benedict section Smile, including Slave, Osage County, the Assange film and Sherlock. [happy happy joy joy]

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 30/08/2013 22:20

Reposting the CumberCalendar for the next three months.

Heads up ladies. According to the bbc media centre BC is on bbc4extra at 6.30 tomorrow evening reading a Kafka novel. Can't link on phone but go to bbc media centre and search for Sherlock. It is atvthe bottom of the list.

MrsJohnHarrison · 01/09/2013 23:10

Thanks Poppy Smile

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 02/09/2013 09:44

Thanks poppy. I've just looked for it and it's a four-parter: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007d9kj

Thanks Frankel, as well, for the drama trailer! Sherlock aside, I think it all looks quite exciting. SO pleased that Ripper Street is back.

LetUsPrey · 02/09/2013 20:35

Metamorphosis is available as a free (almost positive it's free) download from iTunes. If you search Benedict Cumberbatch on iTunes, it brings up details of it as four podcasts. I've had them for quite a while but never got round to listening Blush

That BBC trailer does look really good. Musketeers looks worth a look

The BC episode of HIGNFY is on some time this week and Tinker Tailor Solider Spy is on Channel 4 on Friday.

I'm still drooling over the US Vogue photoshoot. However, my copy of ST:ID arrived today. Quite looking forward to the extras bit Grin

FrankelInFoal · 02/09/2013 22:02

Metamorphosis is on 4Extra at 00.30 if anyone is still awake! I usually fall asleep listening to the channel, so look forward to waking up to BC's hushed tones in my ear Wink

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 02/09/2013 22:32

What? No more erotic thriller? DAAAAAMMMMNNNNN....

And even though I'm loving the Star Trek reboots, I am VERY wary of any new Star Wars material. Three words: Jar Jar Binks... (But if this is true, Benedict may make me reconsider.)

FrankelInFoal · 03/09/2013 06:48

Twitter has been full of denials that BC is in Star Wars. I'm not even sure that the prospect of BC could tempt me to watch a Star Wars film. Probably only if there was guaranteed nudity Wink

LetUsPrey · 03/09/2013 07:59

Would love him to be in Star Wars! Best friend loves the films, as does DS1 so double excuse again to watch Grin

OP posts:
NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 03/09/2013 08:17

He's such a goofball...

As for Star Wars, there were loads of denials about his role in ST:ID as well. But in any case, I have zero control over it, so I'm not getting worked up either way.

But yes, Frankel, if BC would play, perhaps Han Solo's father...

[In an aside, I recently saw a trailer for Paranoia, and I yelled out, Hey, I didn't know Gene Hackman was still making films! And then I realized it was Harrison Ford...] Ouch.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 04/09/2013 09:14

Shirts
Had somehow missed these before today
Denial about Star Wars
Sherlock is the Virgin God of Sex

This last one kept me busy for a while. DH is an orthodontist, and as a result, I have also started staring at people's mouths. Spot the wonky tooth!

FrankelInFoal · 04/09/2013 10:20

Thanks for the links GreenCard.

Re the Star Wars denials, someone pointed out that "not been cast" is not the same as "not interested" or "not in talks" Wink

Roll on Toronto next week so we can get more SuitBatch!

MrsJohnHarrison · 04/09/2013 16:20

Ooh love Star Wars - even better if BC is in it!
My plans for this weekend - 3 evening dates with him Wink
Fri - ST:ID
Sat - Sherlock
Sun - Tinker, Tailor
All with DH blessing as he likes them too!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 04/09/2013 19:53

MrsJohnHarrison, sounds like a great weekend!

I know this is the BCAS, but I also know there are quite a few Tom Hiddleston fans as well. A friend just posted , and I must say, I feel Cookie Monster's pain.

LetUsPrey · 05/09/2013 22:06

I have TTSS set to record.

Looking forward to this

Telegraph review of Fifth Estate

Red Carpet Batch

There are red carpet interviews too, but haven't had a chance to watch them yet.

LetUsPrey · 06/09/2013 08:03

There are so many red carpet pictures on Tumblr - spoilt for choice!
