My new love.

How I wish that they're broadcasting Frankestein at the cinemas here. I've checked but no such luck. I do hope that they'll show it on TV later. And also, how awesome it is that you get to see live broadcasts of a play at the cinemas!

I'm having some serious crush on Benedict Cumberbatch right now. Like, really serious, Jensen-Ackles-serious kind of crush. It began with Sherlock and it escalated into Van Gogh : Painted With Words, Hawking and last night it was Stuart, A Life Backwards. Lol, now I know more about Van Gogh and Hawking than I ever did before. Such a brilliant, amazing actor. And oh, he was gorgeous as Luke Fitzwilliam in Miss Marple's Murder Is Easy. I swear Julia Mackenzie was blushing when she told Luke that he was gorgoeus. Lol, I don't think it was something that canon!Miss Marple would have said.

So looking forward to watching The Last Enemy, Small Island, Amazing Grace etc etc. Haha, I've been downloading and watching lots of shows that I've never heard of before. I even downloaded his readings and oh, his voice when he narrated the BBC documentary South Pacific ::DIES::

Benedict Cumberbatch ... quite a mouthful there. I'm not quite sure what to refer him as. Just Benedict doesn't sound quite right and refering to him as Cumberbatch sounds like I'm talking about his father. I've seen him refered to as Benny here and there but ... Benny? Hmmmm ...

A little trivia on him. He's a six-footer, born on July 19, 1976 - same birthday as Jared, two years older than Jensen. Speaking of Jensen, ahh, what I wouldn't give to read a BC/JA fic!!! But sadly, I don't think there's any around. Not yet anyway but I'm still hopeful. Are there any Sherlock/SPN crossovers written yet I wonder? I'd love to see Sherlock analyzing Dean!

He studied drama at Manchester University and he once taught English in Tibet. And also, he just split with his long time girlfriend of ten years. Now if I had known him for a long time, I'd probably be sad to hear that ( honest! ) but as it is ...

Any fellow Benedict Cumberbatch fans here? I think there's probably one or two, or maybe none at all. Oh well, I guess I'll have to squee alone then. But if you *are* a fan, do make yourself known here, please please!

Perhaps you can download it somewhere? :)

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Hopefully soon!

But I really want to see him on the big screen. He has two movies in the post-production stage - 'War Horse' and 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' ( le carre! ), so hopefully I'll be able to see him then.

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

You're awake already? It's 3.30 here but I can't sleep. Btw, Happy Birthday! :)

[weird-fin.livejournal.com]

I *just* found out about those screenings. We have some at one cinema. I might or might not be going depending on what my Sherlock obsessed friend wants. Hehe.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Oh did you go? Did you go???

[weird-fin.livejournal.com]

Not as of yet. They don't even start until next month.

Jensen-Ackles-serious kind of crush

Wow, that is serious.

I'm still deep, deep, deep in my Sons of Anarchy love and there are SoA/SPN fics.

Hurrah!

Dean/Jax - blooming lovely image.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Very serious lol. I get quivery all over whenever I see him on the telly or his images on the computer, or simply hearing his voice!

JA/BC is my blooming image heheh. Though you know, I'm not really slashing him with anyone, I just adore him!

[munibunny.livejournal.com]

ha! This guy is all over my flist... I'm sure you'll find some kindred spirits around here. :)

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, he's not all over my flist. Sherlock, yes, but not BC per se *pouts*

And I haven't come across any familiar names yet at the BC-related comms.

[munibunny.livejournal.com]

Really? Hmmm... okay, well, I'm really tight with kuwamiko who is currently obsessing over this guy. She's mostly on DW, though. I can't remember who else but I'll keep it in mind so I can hook you up with some new friends. :)

[sonofabiscuit77.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't say I was a fan exactly, I don't tend to be fannish about real life people, but everything I've seen him in or read about him makes me like him a lot, and Sherlock is just brilliant. And yes... he has that tall thing working for him, just like Jared.

He's also a massive fan of Coronation Street and he was doing these little vox-pop things on ITV between the adverts talking about how much he loved it not so long ago. I kinda love him for that ;D

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I think it's his voice that drew me to him first, that, and his ... vibrancy, and not only as Sherlock!

Ooooh, he's a fan of Coronation Street? Now I've GOT to watch that show!! But he's not in it, is he?

[sonofabiscuit77.livejournal.com]

Nope, I'm pretty sure he's not in it! Though, having said that, they do get more "famous" actorly faces popping in for cameos and short parts. Sir Ian McKellan was in it for about a month a few years back, playing a romantic novelist. So, it wouldn't be that surprising if he turned up one day. Sadly, I've giving up watching it, it's on about four or five times a week - it's too hard to keep up with ;D

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

I'd never heard of him before, but you make me want to get a look at him.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

He's a very delicious-looking man! Btw, hon, your email addy is the verizon one, right? It's been quite some time since I last emailed you.

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

Yes. momj@verizon dot net.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Just emailed you! :)

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

Hmm, haven't gotten an email from you yet. I'll check again in a little while

[frodosweetstuff.livejournal.com]

I've only seen him in Sherlock and I think he's excellent in that. And Martin Freeman, too. And the slashy potential is killing me. I'm reading a lot of S/J slash at the moment. :)

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Those two are extremely slashy as S and J!!! I haven't been reading any fics yet, not FPS nor RPS. Oddly, unlike Orli/Elijah or Jared/Jensen or Matt Damon/Ben Affleck and my various FPS pairings, I haven't been slashing him with anyone! Not yet anyway lol.

[frodosweetstuff.livejournal.com]

I don't know if there is RPS, but there is lots of good and excellent FPS. :)

[lisabellex.livejournal.com]

I think BC makes a terrific Sherlock, but I prefer Martin Freeman of the two - he kind of makes my heart sing...

Looking forward to The Hobbit!

:D

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Oh Martin Freeman is awesome, too! Those two are just perfect as Sherlock and Watson!

[lisabellex.livejournal.com]

They're a great team, aren't they? And actually, Moriarty's kinda sexy. Loved the scene at the swimming pool in the third episode.

Sherlock/Watson/Moriarty, anyone?

:D

[majblomma.livejournal.com]

He split up with his girlfriend????!! Oh my, oh my, oh my... poor Benedict. *snatches him and runs off*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Fortunately Unfortunately yes. I was just lamenting the fact that he was already taken when this news came up. I don't know how much of it is true though but it seems he's pretty busy right now so maybe that was the reason they split up. I don't even know how she looks like!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

I love him so much it's not even funny!! Good-looking and a very fine actor to boots!!!

I think he's extra extra pretty as Luke Fitzwilliam in Miss Marple.

*HUGS*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Btw, I hope you'll be doing some Benny's art very soon!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Can't wait for it! And lol, I've just been googling the colour of his eyes and his hair ;D
