So DH insists it's Garth of Izar, internet says either Khan or Gary Mitchell, blah blah blah

Frankly, I don't care, as long as he gets lots of screen time stalking around in black and growling perfectly enunciated lines in his gravelly baritone, mmmmm

Bring on 17th May, when I can spent 2hrs+ in the cinema vacillating between him and Zachary Quinto.

DH thinks IABU. Am I?? Grin

Some of you sound like you need to join us on the Cumberbatch Appreciation thread in Sleb Twaddle Wink

He is a sex god and will act everyone else of the screen Grin

J J Abrams has nothing but praise for him:

?People have asked my why I choose Benedict for this and I would answer that by saying, ?why not Benedict for everything?? He is so crazy good. I loved working with him. He brings exactly the respect and intelligence and depth and also humour to every scene as I was hoping he would. When I saw his work in Sherlock, like so many others I was impressed by his seemingly effortless dexterity and his ability. It was almost like watching an Olympic gymnast go from incredible position to incredible position. He really is an exceptional talent and in addition to being the great actor he is, he was an absolute joy to spend some time with. He is someone who just elevated everything and while you don?t want the classic, clichéd British villain, which we?ve all seen a million times, my guess is that we?ve seen just as many American villains. I think Benedict is one of the best actors alive. So the real question is ?why did he accept the movie?? I think he is so good and seeing him in Sherlock just blew my mind and I had that feeling that he would be great for almost anything. And he exceeded all my expectations?

He would kick the shit out if Benedict and his cat.

That Chris bloke whose surname I can't even remember does absolutely NOTHING for me. He's like a poor man's version of God AKA Chris Hemsworth.

badbride · 05/04/2013 12:17

Thanks for that Frankelly

Now then, eeny, meeny, miny.. Grin

I don't think Khan makes much sense as the villain.
