The BCAS - 221B or not 221B?

[RiverTam]

a thread for those who have had their lives ruined by the charms of one Mr Benedict Cumberbatch. Come and share with those who really understand what it's like to live with this burden.

Some classics to get us in the mood.

Go for it HRH cause if it does come to my home town I'll be going on my own

I shall go on my own and rub my thighs expectantly

So Benedict has a girlfriend?

Us

HRH, I saw it on my own twice (once with BC as the Creature and once with JLM). The cinema was full of women trying to look casual, plus a male cinema usher with a faint but unmistakeable knowing smile on his mug.

I already have my Sherlock calendar that DH bought me, bless him. Is Frankenstein in all lots of cinemas? Where's the info?

Right up for convention drunkenness HRH, lots of fun.

There was a test screening of The Imitation Game in NY last night - got great reviews and supposedly he's best performance to date

From national theatre live email that I had

Due to unprecendented audience demand, the National Theatre's acclaimed production of Frankenstein will return to cinemas for a limited time from 30 October.

Directed by Academy Award®-winner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire, London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony), Frankenstein features Benedict Cumberbatch (12 Years A Slave, Star Trek: Into Darkness) and Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting, Mansfield Park) alternating roles as Victor Frankenstein and his creation.

Returning to cinemas
from 30 October
Venues on sale soon

And some pictures as well

Oooh their showing it in my local cinema end of Oct/beginning Nov. Is he best as the monster or Frankenstein? Can prob only get away with seeing it once!

WAAAAHHHH!!!! He's in my hometown and I'm over here?? WAAAAAHHHH. Life is so damn unfair!

Note: The Boston Herald is the Boston equivalent of the Daily Fail. Absolutely crap paper. Sonsie is located on Newbury Street, which is the swanky shopping street.

I see he arrived on set in the flat cap and maroon pants. I presume the chambray shirt will make an appearance soon. Bless

Cumberlover, without having seen a performance of Frankenstein, I guess it all depends on what you want to see. Eloquence? Then Frankenstein. Him in the almost-altogether (read: loincloth)? Monster.

GreenCard, I think he's pretty eloquent in both roles. I loved his interpretation of the Creature. Heartbreaking and thought-provoking.

New pic from ad for Dunlop

No I don't get it either. But pic is lurvly.

New shirt alert lol

A rather open shirt.

That picture he's looking deep into your soul.....

Seen this on Facebook

I received this very gracious email from Benedict Cumberbatch today:

Dear Margareta,
Please let me give you a long overdue thank you for replacing my lost Sami tribe bracelet. It was such an important keep sake for me given to me by a dear Swedish friend who became a sister to me on a job so it carried massive personal worth. I was soo upset when I lost it so thank you for replacing it. I'm thrilled that my casual wearing of the bracelet has brought it to the attention of the world and wish you and the extraordinary Swedish artisans who create this unique bracelet every bit of luck that the bracelets themselves are supposed to bring.
Yours sincerely,
Benedict Cumberbatch

Nice

Sherlocked event will be held in the next three months apparently! Need to know when and where so I can start persuading DP that I really do need to go.

And Geny is right, he does look like Dennis Quaid in these. (I was lucky enough to see him and his band in concert in New York City almost 10 years ago. Damn, that man had energy!!)

Sorry, don't know what happened to the last two:

Much better. Sorry about that.

They've done something to his cheeks haven't they?

Love the sideburns, had a look my the pics from earlier in the week and they are there but I think they have been "enhanced"

I want to be a make up person.

Great pics Needsagreencard
I'd say he's using cheek plumpers to give him a rounder face and really rocking the 1970s look.
