The existence of Showerbatch footage may have done a little to compensate for the lack of half-naked men in Star Trek Into Darkness, but the NEXT Trek movie definitely needs to take a more egalitarian approach to lechery. Since the Powers-That-Be seem to have no problem thinking of excuses to show scantily clad ladies, here’s my suggestion to help them even up the score…
I demand an answer.
I can only reply that perhaps I was right all along? But whatever the reason, the beauty of this visual coincidence is a source of total delight to me…
Goodness me, another US media mention of my otters, this time as part of this interview (from 5:55 mins onwards)!
I can happily forgive the fact that he criticized the top otter’s hand position again because he also said the following lovely thing:
“A friend on set just thrust it in my face on their iPhone, and it’s just… it was very funny. I mean, it’s hysterical. Who knew, who knew that a wet amphibious creature could bear such a resemblance to the number one consulting detective?”
Awww.
So Benedict Cumberbatch was on the Letterman show, and my Otters Who Look Like Benedict Cumberbatch made an extended cameo appearance. Otter action begins at around the 2.50 mark.
Letterman is really not the greatest of interviewers, to put it mildly, but Ben looks deliciously good and seems to take everything in his stride. He also makes his (now standard) comment about the first two pictures not quite matching up: my quibble with his quibble is on record over here. One day, I hope he’ll let me buy him a drink and we can chat about accurate otter anatomy…
Oh, and the show also credited this Tumblr at the end of the show:
Crikey, and hello to the new followers that I’ve acquired since that moment! I only hope I can keep you entertained somehow…
I love the fact that Benedict Cumberbatch doing an impression of a silly dancing gif of himself has been turned into a silly dancing gif. Now all we have to do is persuade him to do an impression of the silly dancing gif of himself doing an impression of the silly dancing gif of himself, and the world will be perfect.
Alternatively, we could all dot our faces with neutron cream and film ourselves doing the Cumberdance. FOR SCIENCE.
Once a prominently cheekboned gurner with semi-invisible eyebrows, always a prominently cheekboned gurner with semi-invisible eyebrows.
OMG, I’ve discovered some EXCLUSIVE LEAKED FOOTAGE from season 3 of Sherlock! I know that some of you are technically avoiding spoilers, but I thought that this was IMPORTANT FANDOM NEWS and you’d want to know about it IMMEDIATELY. Just don’t let Moffat and Gatiss hear about it. They might get annoyed that we know their secret plan.
(Alternatively, the whole thing may just be a sloppily constructed fake based on a famous movie scene. I’ll let you make up your own minds…)
It’s now been heavily hinted that series 3 of Sherlock involves a wedding of some sort, and although I’m trying to avoid specific spoilers, that hasn’t stopped my imagination from running wild and imagining Sherlock being coaxed into a bridesmaid’s outfit. Or indeed, more than one of them…
Sherlock Disney Princesses! Because… well, do I really need a reason?
I’m fascinated by the futuristic London skyline that appears on the latest poster for Star Trek Into Darkness, so I thought I’d put together a visitor’s guide to some of the city’s most intriguing new sights…
It’s recently been announced that a sequel to Finding Nemo will be released in 2015. This news swam around in my funny (or should that be finny?) little brain for all of five minutes before a ridiculous Sherlock crossover was born.
Poor John Harrison. Not only does somebody love him, but he also looks sad when he thinks no one can see him…
Presented without comment
Why have I never noticed before that Benedict is the reincarnation of Kenneth Williams? Ooh, matron!
The Angel Islington, because my eyes and hands needed something to do while my ears were listening to Neverwhere.
