Not familiar with that particular mug, I'm afraid. Sorry. :o)

But I had a X-Files mug once with the face of an alien on it, which appeared by pouring hot liquid in it and faded again with cooling off.
'Someone' ruined the mug back then with the dishwasher... :o(

A quick search from my side for the Sherlock mug wasn't successfully, except for the picture here on the board.

Hihi. :o) I'm kind of amused by your relief. Dont get it wrong, please, I can totally understand it. :o)

But please forgive me for playing the devil's advocate. ;o) He is NOT casted - yet. ;o))

It was only a matter of time, before you could buy this kind of mug. ;o))

(Be aware, don't put them into the dishwasher, the thermosensitive field got to be destroyed by the heat in the machine.)

Well, this is a tricky statement, wouldn't you agree? ;o))

Yeah, it's slightly longer than the first one. I'm still not sure, what to think about the movie, but I suppose I'm going to watch it anyway. Not only because of Ben (he looks dreadful with this hairstyle ), but also  because I like Daniel Brühl very much.

Yes, and I think the casting of Daniel Brühl was very smart. Not only because he's a good actor and a german playing a german, but his looks resembles Domscheit-Berg quite good, don't you think?

Don't worry, ancientsgate. :o) For example, in germany we have our own reality tv shows... fortunately I don't own a tv anymore, so I can't even zap accidently in this utterly rubbish programme. ;o)

Be, you are right, now it also sounds quite sarcastic to me. No bromance, then.

Well, I don't know, I have a different impression about the scene and the lines.

Imagine, we all know John is already hooked up with Mary Morstan and is likey enjoying some sort of domestic bliss. He built a new life, without Sherlock.
Then Sherlock turns up again, surprisingly alive and ready to solve crimes and cases like before. Perhaps he can't understand, why John - because of his 'new life' - might not be willing to go along with him... and deliver this sentences, to convince him, to lure him in - again.



Edit: :o)) I should have read the rest of the thread before typing wildly. Now I have seen, some of you have already mentioned that. Sorry! :o))

It's interesting how fandoms have changed in times of social media.
...

Absolutely.
Nowadays it's almost too easy to get any sort of information about a favourite film/TV show. We are quite spoiled. ;o))

One of my favourites has been 'Robin of Sherwood' with Michael Praed (his 'Little John' (Clive Mantle) played Dr. Frankland in Sherlock's 'The Hounds of Baskerville')

The soundtrack for 'Robin' from Clannad was great. I still have the record in my collection.

Well, I definitely like Star Trek a lot better than Star Wars, but I always enjoyed the three movies with Harrison Ford. Let's not talk about episodes I-III, though. And I think that if there is anyone who could do something really good with Star Wars now, that would undoubtedly be Abrams. So, even without Benedict involved I'd be quite curious to see what he comes up with. Benedict would certainly be an extra incentive for me, but you're right, in the end the story has to be good, otherwise it'll be a waste of time.  

I quite agree with you. :o)

I wonder, what a 'new' storyline could be. Surely Abrams and his team won't come up with another alternative timeline?
Perhaps they are going for the Thrawn-Trilogy by Sci-Fi writer Timothy Zahn? I had read the books at the time they were first published in germany and liked them a lot.
An adaptation would be amazing and it offers a few characters, whom BC could be playing, even Luke Skywalker. (!) Edit: mark my words. ;o))

But for now, his involvement ist yet to be serious confirmed.

The last time in 2011 I missed it - in 2012 they paused because of the documenta 13 - but this year I will be there for sure! :o))

The trailer has left me quite speechless the first time I saw it. Even in this glimpses you could clearly see (t)his powerful performance.
For sure I'm going to see the film within the first week of the opening. :o)

In the past I have been already interested in the whole wikileaks thing and saw many documentaries and reportages about it. Now I'm very curious about the artistic interpretation.

I would love to. But it's 2 hours by train, so..... hm........

Do it!
Seriously, it will take me 90 minutes to get to Würzburg by car, but I'll do it. I know, going there by car is probably more comfortable, but it might be the last chance we get to see this...
 

The last chance... oh no, don't say something like that. :o(
I'm so sad about the fact, that it isn't possible for me - like it is for some other german fellows - to see the production finally.
Either way it would be for me - with the train or by car - too much travel time and travel costs. Sucks. Immensely. :o(

Well, but I'm happy for the ones who are going to see it. Have fun! :o)

It's a shame that there are very few screenings in Germany and all in the north, south or Berlin. There is a not single one in a radius of about 400 km from where I live. 

Same for me. :o(

Meet The Members » Have you read the complete Sherlock Holmes canon? » August 6, 2013 9:53 pm

In my adolescent years, quite a while ago ;o) I read the canon (from the library) for the first time - including fond memories of watching different adaptions on (german) TV and I have been hooked on Holmes since. :o)
Of course long since I own the books, in a beautiful german version, hard copies in nine volumes.

Some stories of the original, english version I have read online and it is so enjoyable and amazing! Alas, I couldn't decide yet, which printed version I would like to own. There are so many great editions out there.
Perhaps I should check the local antiquarian bookshops for some lovely old Penguins sometime. ;o)

Now I have been found out, for secretly sneaking in this thread. ;o))
Thank you, Susi, for posting the image here!

General Benedict Appreciation » Benedict's Many Faces » August 6, 2013 9:00 pm

My pleasure, thank you! :o)

Well, I don't have a tumblr account, or any other like twitter etc. Perhaps I should consider it/tumble in. ;o)

General Benedict Appreciation » Benedict's Many Faces » August 6, 2013 7:11 pm

Done. :o) I had already started last night. ;o)

It has been great fun to fumble with my ancient photoshop programme. Unfortunately I couldn't find a bloody pic/portrait of the real William Ford. Therefore don't be surprised, I used an image of a cotton plant/gossypium instead.

Here it is. Hope you all enjoy. :o)



edit: The devil is in the detail. After uploading the image (when else... ;o) I found a little mistake and corrected it by now.
