    I know, I'm the same... I'm not fond of the Grinch, but if Benedict does it, it will be perfect, and I will have to change my mind!

    I'd say he's got the perfect voice for it.

    Yeah, I saw that this morning as well.
    I'm certain he is aware that his voice...nevermind.
    Yet another one, that's SO fricking good news!
    And it's out when? 2017? Hardly a long wait, for us the Fandom That Waited now, is it?

    I don't care for this happening.
    My love for Ben is endless and he certainly has the talent for it but I'm not excited.
    Huge Dr. Suess fan and I adore the Grinch.  The original cartoon is such an iconic classic I just don't think the story needs to be told again.

    Maybe he would be perfect for a role?

    I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

    Re: Benedict to voice the Grinch in How the Grinch Stole Christmas

    I think it could be great fun to hear him do that character, but I do agree that the animated one is a classic that does not need to be remade.  Oh, well.


    Clueing for looks.

    Re: Benedict to voice the Grinch in How the Grinch Stole Christmas

    ...and there are two tweets about this that came up on my Twitter feed this morning, one retweeted by Sherlockology and one retweeted by someone I would not have expected to see hate from replying to the link saying "will he stop ruining everything." Haters gonna hate, I guess.

    Sorry but I really cannot build up any enthusiasm for this.
