He needs feeding up. But apart from that I like his look and the clothes. I saw another pic from this photo shoot, he's wearing cool boots with the jeans.

Somehow the skinniness looks good on him, and he doesn't end up looking like a scarecrow when he gets like that. He's got the facial features that lend themselves well to being scrawny-- the cheekbones, the wide-set eyes, the full lips. If we got to see him without his shirt, we might realize that he's not unacceptably thin, any more than he was when he filmed the thing for Sherlock with the sheet in the palace-- he's just a true ectomorph.

He actually reminds me a bit of Zachary in that one...which can only be a good thing!

I saw ST today and was so impressed with ZQ. They made his Spock quite un-spock-like in this one, allowing him to show caring and anger and passion and hurt, and I LIKEY, but I know we'll probably never get to see him again doing that as Spock, 'cause Spock doesn't show emotions. Anyway, ZQ (I even like his initials) was absolutely yummy in that film. I had to put my tongue back in my mouth. Several times.

When you do, sit way far back in the theater. This pic is meant to be seen from a viewpoint where the whole screen can be easily seen-- lots of fast action, crazy mixed-up camera work that can be quite dizzying, lots of close-ups on faces where if you're sitting too close, you start to feel you have an intimate relationship with everyone's nose holes, lol. You will love Ben in this. He doesn't have a huge part, and a lot of his on-screen time is running and beating people up, but the lines he has and his close-ups are delicious, like a trip to the candy store and the ice cream shop, all at once, for his fans. Yum, thud, drool cup, the whole nine yards.

I´m looking forward to my way to that candy shop <3

besleybean · May 19, 2013 7:13 am

Funny, cos I really didn't feell that way about him in ST...he was just damn good.

Mrs.Wenceslas · May 19, 2013 7:40 am

soo nice.

Well, they've probably have all been already posted (browsing through the 600+ pages would take too much time! lol) but here are some of my favourite BC's pics:

I think I'm in love

I could also add my avatar, I just love his face on that screen capture I did. It comes from the scene with the "speckled blonde", John tells him "nobody's reading your website", and gosh, I'm so in love with his face when he looks up (my avatar), stays still, and then a few seconds later you see him boiling inside, he narrows his eyes, his mouth twitches and then he just leaves the room and Lestrade is like "what the feck?" OH!! so, so cute!!!!! He looks like a big sulking baby

What a wonderful start in this thread, Punch Me.

Ladies, now for something funny. I suppose you know about the neutron cream joke. Here's proof tweeted by Simon Pegg:
"Me and Cumbersbumberswumbers wearing neutron cream. Before we told him it wasn't real."

besleybean · May 19, 2013 10:19 am

Love it.

Mrs.Wenceslas · May 19, 2013 10:24 am

I´d help him to apply it all over his face

besleybean · May 19, 2013 10:28 am

Just his face?
Oh sorry, did I say that out loud?

Mrs.Wenceslas · May 19, 2013 10:35 am

well.....ehm.

SusiGo · May 19, 2013 10:42 am

Ladies! *imagine strict moderator's voice*

I love to see him being totally silly in his John Harrison outfit.

besleybean · May 19, 2013 10:44 am

Totally silly?
What do you mean?

SusiGo · May 19, 2013 10:47 am

Sorry, of course this is Benedict at his most evil.

And I'd help him to lick it off his face!

Oups! I'm already! lol

Mary Me · May 19, 2013 11:06 am

Girls, behave! Though I know it's hard when it's about Benedict...

SusiGo · May 19, 2013 11:07 am

I think you've found the right thread, Punch Me.
