Merry! They are going to be in a film together. It is already filmed and is in post-production. It is called: 12 Years A Slave. The director is Steve McQueen. Look on the Benedict's Non-Sherlock section and you will see a thread for it. Personally, I cannot wait!

um....SAY WHAT NOW??!?! Holy guacamole. Not sure I can handle this information. I hope they screen it in my local Emergency Room because I'm gonna need immediate medical attention after seeing Ben and Michael at the same time.
 

I'm dying for the DVD as well, so I can ffwd through all the non-Benedict parts (although Scotty is fabulous). 

Has anyone else seen those videos on YouTube "everything wrong with [insert movie] in less than 4 minutes"? I can't wait for them to do one on this movie. Not to be negative about it, I really did enjoy it, but as a super geeky trekkie, I did think there were some plot holes. For one thing, WHY ON EARTH WOULD HE SMUGGLE HIS CREW INSIDE TORPEDOS? What exactly was the plan there? Seems more than a teensy bit dangerous. 

 

oooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmggggggggggggggg

I am freaking OUT! Just got back from seeing it. I mean, if I was a little bit tipsy on Ben before, I am fully DRUNK now! Drunk on cheekbones, unruly hair, long black coats and the voice of a freakin angel. 

I can't...I can't even...I just can't.

Did he have any lines that *weren't* double entendres? The part where he says "I'm better" and Kirk says "At what?" and he's like "Everything." AAAAAAAAAAAAhAHAHAHAHA. Here's a short list of things he's better than everyone in the world at:
Speaking
Running
Jumping
Fighting
Thinking
Wearing coats
Being a bad-ass
Crying
Manipulating
Having perfect hair
Having messed up hair

I may never forgive JJ Abrams for cutting the shower scene. Like, for realz. 

I absolutely freaking loved all his clothes, as someone else mentioned. The coats! Oh my gosh. The one on Kronos was stunning, but then he randomly picks up another one while *running* through the streets of San Francisco trying to disguise himself, and it just *happens* to be another long, dark, sexy, tall-collared masterpiece that makes him look extra sinister/mysterious. Thank you, wardrobe department. Thank. You. 

I'm not even sure if I liked the movie or not. Like seriously, I don't know, because all I could focus on was his pretty, pretty face. I think it was alright. Acutally, there were like 7 million plot holes, as always with sci fi movies, but who cares! Ben looked hot! Like, 100% of the time!

I think I'd go with Iago or Richard III. Definitely prefer villians and anti-heros, although I do worry that after Star Trek he'll be type-cast as the new English villain in every hollywood movie, like Sean Bean and Alan Rickman.

Sherlock: Do what? 
John: You being all mysterious with your cheekbones, and turning your coat collar up so you look cool.
Sherlock: I don't do that. 
John: Yeah, you do.

I have heard that that whole bit was an ad lib. If so, it was inspired, and I'm glad they kept it in.

Wow, that information makes me really happy. I love ad-libs in scripted shows, and that was a brilliant one. Martin strikes again.

I drempt about Sherlock immediately after watching the first episode. It was just a part of a dream, me and him in 221b talking. All I remember is that he was asking me rapid-fire questions and at the end when he told me what it all meant he hugged me. It felt nice 

What are you top 5 favorite TV shows of all time? Let's exclude Sherlock since we're all here, we already know we all love it  

Feel free to break it down by comedy/drama/childhood favs/whatever. 

My all-time list, in no particular order:

West Wing
Slings and Arrows
Battlestar Galactica
Dexter
Game of Thrones
 

You're probably right. The non-comedians do tend to fade a bit to the background, I guess I was just thinking he's smart and funny and it would be awesome to see Stephen flirt with him 

Hi Elvina! I'm new too! And of *course* you're in love with Sherlock! Because, you know, you have *eyes*. 

But seriously, what's with charming TV sociopaths? I was fascinated by Dexter too. Real life ones are not usually that fun.
