Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

Oh I agree with you...
The Media seems to like these things!
As Cumberbuddy pointed out, they are never going to let that Cumberbitch thing go.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

I agree, we don't really need an umbrella at all. And that "Cumberbitch" thing is getting really old.

But if we WERE to have an umbrella, I would go for Cumbersome.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

The media love the Cumberb...b... thing I can't even write that out, lol. 

In these times fans seem to have a need to call themselves something... like Lady Gaga's Little Monsters... etc and etc... I think it's something about unity or something. I think it' a psycho-social thingy

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

It's all right if it's a bit of fun.
But it's like anything else, if taken too far...

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

I don't really have an opinion on it. I get both sides.
I think it's an interesting pun, though.
Cumber-some: some people like Benedict Cumberbatch.
Cumber-sum: the sum of all the people who like Benedict Cumberbatch, the collective

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

Considering where Ben stands on women's (well human) rights it always surprised me that 'the' term became a thing. I admire him for being offended by it too rather than just accepting it. He's a good rolemodel

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

Yeah, that's a good point.
Although I have to admit I laughed when he was on Graham Norton and he slipped up and said "He just kissed one of my b-tches!"

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

Yeah, even I adore that clip! The look on his face when he realizes what he said was priceless

Exactly! That's what it is - it's a bit of fun. People shouldn't take themselves too seriously.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

Yitzock I confess I only fully appreciated the 'sum' part of the pun, after I went to bed and I guess that kind of makes it more acceptable.  
I too laughed at  Benedict's 'Hey, you're kissing one of my bitches' thing, when Chris kissed or hugged, Cumberbuddy.
Vhanja, I agree with you, but I just don't see Cumbersome as being a positive term.Although I guess for me, the intent would be important.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

Doctor Strange writer Jon Spaihts on Benedict:

It certainly was incredibly reassuring to know there was an actor of Benedict’s intelligence and humanity. There’s nothing that we could write that could be beyond him.
