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…)
The image on top comes from the Webster Workbook of Language (1946), courtesy of the fabulous Newhouse Design. If you ask me, it displays a rather intolerant attitude to linguistic creativity, and the bottom image is simply the first reponse that sprang into my mind…
Sometimes Tumblr pop-up boxes tell you things you don’t want to hear. But just occasionally, there’s good news…
In response to recent visual evidence, we interrupt this Tumblr for an important Cumberbatch alert. Stay safe on those streets, people…
Arwel Wyn Jones - ‘Look what I just found!’
And the internet explodes…
Since most of Arwel’s season 3 teaser pics have been of the Baker Street set being rebuilt, I now have the mental image of John keeping the gravestone at 221B and using it as a Sherlock substitute. Pulling it around crime scenes on little wheels, yelling at it, taking it out for dinner, tucking it into bed at night. In many ways, it’s probably an easier flatmate than the real Sherlock. It’s certainly a flatter mate. (Sorry.)
Good news, Cabin Pressure fans! I’ve used my high-powered media access to peer into the future and can now exclusively reveal a story that should make you all MUCH happier about the future of the series! Admittedly, the rest of the world might find it a TEENSY bit tougher to get used to, but I’m sure they’ll learn to cope somehow…
After literally an hour’s ceaseless staring at these lovely images, I think I’ve managed to discover the true secret of Benedict Cumberbatch’s magnetic appeal. Can you spot what it is, viewers?
Last week’s tale from That Show With Daft Folk On A Plane (you know the one I mean?) made me love the Game Of Words With Just One Sound. So I thought: if their plane breaks or must be sold and they need new jobs, Doug and Ca could run a shop that sells books. And here are some books that they could sell…
“I now pronounce you one word.” from Basic Goals in Spelling 3, 1960
Later that evening, After began to wish that she’d married Glow instead…
When I saw the above image of Mr Cumberbatch at the recent Esquire/Tommy Hilfiger London Collections event, I thought “Isn’t that sweet? Even stylish magazine logos long to be Benedict’s Errant Curl™.” Then I had another thought: maybe the Errant Curl would like to be a stylish magazine logo? Well, its hairy wish is my command…
I haven’t actually seen The Hobbit, but I’m so enchanted by the creative craziness of dwarf hairstyles that this seemed like the next logical step for a sequel.
I think I’ll leave it to someone else to draw a leather-clad disco-dancing dragon, though…
Ridiculous as it may be, I’m sure this is the most ornithological Doctor Who theory since “Amy Pond is a duck”.
I’m pretty sure that this is what a large portion of Tumblr wants for Christmas, if only we were able to actually purchase it. As soon as I work out how to put a big red BUY NOW button on this post that sends all proceeds to me, I’ll let you know…
The more I see people bemoaning the invention of silly fandom crossovers with no reason to exist but the presence of a particular actor in both fandoms, the more I want to create them. And if there’s an excuse for a dreadful pun too… well, just try to stop me.
