I live in Berlin and I'm so happy that he will be here! I don't have tickets but I will wait just to see him. I'm very excited cause I've never seen him before. Hope to get a autograph and some nice pictures. A little chat...maybe

@Sava well thanks for the luck :-) but i don't think it will happens this time for me. It's just to much to travel to berlin and stay a few days. I want to see Benedict (and martin at DOS premiere) so badly but there will be so many people that i will see him for a few seconds or less.

GREAT! Just... GREAT! Don't know what to say... just... GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, you lucky girl, Solar! All the great deal of time and standing in the cold have been worthwhile in the end. Surely an early christmas present!

I´m back. And rather happy :-)
The film was very moving, brutal and really hard to bear. I even left the cinema for 15 mins. because it was TOO hard for me.
Nevertheless it´s brilliant. A Masterpiece. Benedicts role was very small and to be honest - nothing that fits his incredible talent.
After the movie (ca. 22:15) the director and Ben entered the cinema. But not through the front door, wich was very disappointing for the waiting fans. We had the possibility to ask questions (I was too shy....) and after 15-20 mins. they went out. That´s it.
I was a LITTLE bit disappointed, but finally I saw Benedict. That was the goal. And so I´m pleased with it :-)

Unfortunately it´s not mine, my cam is sh......t..... :-(
Thats what I have:



Anyway.....I have Soundsnippets AND have seen him in real life. That (nearly) all i asked for :-)

Sava, I agree, I felt so sorry for the girls who were waiting outside until 10pm... I met some of them yesterday at the Premiere of The Hobbit, and they were really disappointed. My friend and I could easily have been among them... god, I'd rather not think about that...

But okay, so I promnised to post some pics I took during the Q&A. I still can't quite believe our luck.
There were at least three professional photographers at the Q&A, but Benedict and Steve asked them after about two minutes to stop taking pictures, especially with the flash light. I then also turned off my flash and I have to say that the pics I took without it turned out even better. But still no comparison to the pics my friend took, she has a great camera, mine is rather crap. So I guess sitting just a few metres away from Benedict helped quite a lot.

At one point I just had to put the camera down - and stare at him. I tried to be descrete though, especially when Steve was talking I tried to focus on him, not on Benedict. But it wasn't easy, I can assure you. 

I love the clothes Benedict was wearing, I loved how concentrated and calm he was - although I really believe that he was also a bit tired. He deliberately seemed to avoid almost any eye contact with the audience, when Steve was talking he mostly looked before himself on the ground. At one point I caught him while he seemed to be staring at my shoes... but I could be wrong. (Of course I won't clean them for quite a while now, because I really want to believe that they have been cumberbatched... )
He only rarely smiled and appeared to be in a serious mood - might have to do with the movie. His answers were intelligent and sophisticated as always. And all in all I just couldn't take my eyes off of him. I still feel so unbelievably lucky - and I wish all of you guys would have been able to be there!

As for the movie: I won't say too much about it in this thread, maybe just that it was moving, shocking, disturbing and very explicit all at the same time. In my opinion it is a movie as many people as possible should see.

Okay, but now... if you want to know why I did what I did, go and take a look!
(Oh, and I will also post some pics of Martin and Benedict from the Hobbit Premiere in the according thread )

Now these two would have to be my favourite pics, even if they're not perfect...

I love the pics and your report, Solar. I am very happy you had the chance to see and hear him. And I do not mind seeing him in a serious mood at all. (And in these lovely clothes).
