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.

Love this interview. He pokes fun at his CumberChins. Grin

Loving the smirk.

Any truth to the rumour that he's ditched the cigs? Would far prefer him to chomp on a toothpick, not nearly as smelly!

LetUsPrey · 08/05/2013 21:34

Grin GreenCard. Looking forward to Friday!

I can't even comment on this gif

Ha ha, that gif makes it look like he's making sure everything is still all there. But dear Benedict, we here at the BCAS have fearless volunteers who would gladly take over that responsibility for you!!

Hi ladies. Just come out of he cinema. Grin Grin Grin Grin

LetUsPrey · 09/05/2013 22:53

Quite good. Bloody brilliant. Won't say too much but oh my!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 10/05/2013 08:45

I get to see ST:ID tomorrow -- Woo!

Another Benedict-then-and-now picture. Would love to blow raspberries on Baby Benedict's tummy. (Must get mind out of the gutter regarding Adult Benedict.)

Just read this from Zoe Saldana's IMDB page:

"I tend to be very picky, so I look for the perfect man! So if Spock and Kirk can mix, they'd become my perfect man. That's the kind of guy I'd go for. I don't only go for muscles, I don't only go for brains. You just need to have a little bit of a bad boy and a geek and then you've got the perfect guy."

Dear god, it's as if she's talking about Benedict. After watching this gif, hey, who knows.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 10/05/2013 13:44

Apparently the ST:ID page on IMDB is full of spoilers, including the cast list, so avoid avoid if you don't want it ruined.

I love the Zoe Saldana said that BC greeted her every morning with a very English "Hello love".

LetUsPrey · 10/05/2013 18:37

Friend picking me up in an hour to go to see Star Trek! Squeeeeeeeeeeeee Grin

How did you get on Prey? In 24 hours time I will have seen it.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 10/05/2013 22:58

For Prey

He plays trumpet??!!

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 10/05/2013 23:26

That's an amazing interview.

LetUsPrey · 11/05/2013 00:12

I am back.

It was totally fucking awesome (apols for swears).

A really really amazing film. Stunning. Everyone is brilliant.

BC is stunning. Truly stunning. Fightybatch was everything you expect and more Grin

Just got back from the cinema. I totally fucking second Prey's appraisal of the film. Awesome upon awesome. Even sceptical DH loved it. Can I preorder the BluRay right this second?

The ending was wonderful. JJ Abrams may be a pain when it comes to secrecy, but...OK, I won't give anything away, but the ending was awesome. Let's leave it by me saying that my favourite setting on the microwave is now "defrost". Though I seriously doubt I could fit one of those in there. Grin

And in other News...

Where is that hand going? And can I tag along?

Fluffymonster · 11/05/2013 23:42

Hello hello!

Just got back from cinema, and thoroughly enjoyed ST:ID here too. Everyone does a decent job, but the stand out performances were Zachary Quinto and of course BC, who basically stole every scene he was in. Couldn't take my eyes off him. Utterly charismatic.

"Let's talk about Bond, shall we?" Hope so BC, certainly hope so...

And that Caitlin Moran interview may just be the best interview I have ever read. Ever.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 12/05/2013 08:59

Agreed, loved loved loved it. So glad I didn't go in search of any of the spoilers.

BC was epic, as we would expect Grin

Saw the trailer for August: Osage County on YouTube the other day, looks a good film but BC only appears for a fleeting moment. I'm not sure how big a part he has in the film. Looks good though.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 12/05/2013 15:27

Good lord, GreenCard, that hand gif!

On the Times interview, is it just me or is Caitlin Moran's writing a bit pretentious and up herself? BUT: 'Hamlet'? Did she just mention that because Benedict's talked about it before, or is it an inadvertent spoiler?

holmessweetholmes · 12/05/2013 15:31

Loved the Caitlin Moran interview - completely adorable. Looks like I'm not seeing Star Trek until the 22nd. Grr.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 12/05/2013 21:22

Glad to be of Service, LadyClarice!

Looks like someone has been going through their old pictures.... Not digging the buzz-cut, but the rest...yeah, I'd still tap that. Grin (Love the "Singing In The Rain" poster behind him in the first one.)

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 13/05/2013 19:34

Oooh, look at all the pretty!

LetUsPrey · 14/05/2013 07:56

I quite agree Grin

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 14/05/2013 08:06

Seconded Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 14/05/2013 09:52

There is a thing on Tumblr right now regarding Spock and Kirk. It goes like this:

Spock and Kirk's relationship in a nutshell:

Spock: Don't do the thing.
Kirk: I'M GOING TO DO THE THING.

Just now I saw this:

Every Benedict Cumberbatch interview ever:

Interviewer: Say the thing.

Benedict: No I don't want to say the thing.

Interviewer: Cumberbitches!

Benedict: Bless them.

Interviewer: Now, have you seen "Otters that look like Benedict Cumberbatch"?
