Re: Favourite Sherlock/Benedict pictures
Well, if you want to indulge yourselves in some... uhm... scientific research regarding his lisp, just google for "Benedict Cumberbatch lisp".

But his lisp is the cutest.

Re: Favourite Sherlock/Benedict pictures
And the amazing thing is that he made it look as if brushing the spider away was part of the acting. Oh Ben...
It was funny how I was excited to watch STID because of Chris/Zach but when he paced the screen like a restless panther and his voice rumbled throughout the theater seats ("Why aren't we moving, Captain?") my girls and I were clawing at each other internally screaming. 
And just for fun...

Aaw that lisp... that is the sexiest lisp ever!

I fully support more Khan in this thread (seeing how I only rewatched it with a friend last weekend).

La Bear Polar, you will be the cause of my death with those photos.
You guys know my pressure point now.

Re: Favourite Sherlock/Benedict pictures
What is it about Benedict being the villain? I mean should we not hate the villain? Why do I deliberately want to run into his arms, even if he might break my hip?
Is it just because of how hot he looks when he's doing it?

Re: Favourite Sherlock/Benedict pictures
It's the looks, the voice.
It's physically impossible to hate him as a villain, when he's so damn beautiful at playing it.

Got it in one. Plus his menacing voice is the sexiest, lures you in!
You've heard his "I feeeeelll your aaiiirr" Smaug line, right?
Mind you, if you've seen August Osage County the "I adore you" line gets me even more. Slid off my cinema seat when he said that!!

He is capable of saying anything mean, and it would still sound bloody sexy.

Totally agree

Re: Favourite Sherlock/Benedict pictures
Ah, yes the voice! The way he breathes when he talks, slow and deep... And the British accent!
Gosh, I so, so wish I could go see August, Osage County! Why is it I can't??

I really love his fringe, and those eyes! Gah, those eyes.

Re: Favourite Sherlock/Benedict pictures
Which do you think is Ben's sexiest role? 
It's hands down JH/Khan for me. (Sorry, Sherl!)
I love how amazingly sexy he looks with that glacial stare and posture that is graceful and deadly at the same time. Yet you know that the same man can make half the world go 'aww' with his silly smiles and antics.
Here's something more mellow to cool down with after all that spontaneous combustion. Ben in socks.

Re: Favourite Sherlock/Benedict pictures
Oh, I needed this after all the Khan-ness.
His hair in those pics above are definitely my favourite past hairstyles of Ben, GingerBatch is something that I'm very fond of too!
But I agree with his sexiest role being Khan, if I hadn't made that obvious already.
