Great. I just showed hubby: "Look which scene they deleted in STID".
I didn't know about the sound then.

I know, right? Stupid music.

when I saw that shower pic for the first time, I was just like:

It was probably a good thing that this shower scene got deleted from the final film otherwise the cinemas with you lot in could have got kinda messy!
No shit, Sherlock! (I had to say it!! ) (seriously... I'd be a little worried about going with my mother!)
Oh.... my... holy crap, people... gonna give a girl a heart attack.... And don't get me wrong, totally caught by stuff like that, too, but as Davina said, to be a cat among pigeons in a way, I almost also like him better when we saw him in his sheet. Not sure if I'm the only one to find a super-buffed body super eye catching, but almost 'too much' compared to gorgeously fit yet sleek? Eh, they definitely both better fit who he was playing at the time, though, and admirable job on his part.... can't imagine Sherlock looking like that!!

I don't care for muscles at all, to be honest. I love the slender, skinny, somehow fragile so much more.
So I don't really get why everyone is freaking out about the shower scene, I only laugh about his expression but it doesn't appeal to me otherwise..

Then you definitely will not want to see Ben in the ST movie.

I guess I just enjoy seeing him do his craft; he's such a marvelous actor. A lot of actors are just personalities and have no real talent, but Ben has a way of using his own face and body and voice to embody different characters, and I find it fascinating. When I saw the ST movie the other day, I completely forgot about Sherlock; the man is just that talented.

I haven't gotten a chance to see STID yet, REALLY looking forward to it , I would've been excited even if Benedict wasn't in it, but a while back when I found out he is in it...that was the icing on the cake for me!

Oh, I've seen it twice already!
I find it incredibly impressive how he can transform his body, that's one of the things I admie him for.
He seems to be a competely different person in every role I see him in - he looks, acts, talks and moves in a different way every time and in such a believable way that I really don't see Benedict anymore but a different person come to life.
I just mean that when it comes to physical attractiveness I prefer to watch him as Sherlock.

So that was it - a shower scene. Interesting. Makes no sense though. I prefer the sheet scene. That was cleverer. And I also don't like muscles.

No muscles at all?

Not when they're overly visible. No muscles at all would be bad.

girls.....

Grey, rainy weather over here. I need a bit of colour.

Mrs.Wenceslas · May 23, 2013 7:05 pm

and very cold in here.can I borrow his coat?

Mary Me · May 23, 2013 7:06 pm

Aww, the purple shirt of sex!

Nope, I really love his body for Star Trek. I'm actually no muscle fan at all, but on Benedict they're not too extreme, it's all fine.

QuiteExtraordinary · May 23, 2013 7:07 pm

Nice splash of colour, Susi.

(And for the shower scene - this perfect interpretation:

Let me just pick up this again to say: I join you.
Too slim is bad, too much muscles, too.

Mrs.Wenceslas · May 23, 2013 7:13 pm

I have a scientific solution:
not fan of muscles x fan of Ben = fan of Ben´s muscles = like the shower scene and dying to see it live--

Mattlocked · May 23, 2013 7:14 pm

Very nice, Mrs. W.!

SusiGo · May 23, 2013 7:15 pm

Live? Now this is getting really interesting …

Mattlocked · May 23, 2013 7:16 pm

Live - and wet?

Mrs.Wenceslas · May 23, 2013 7:17 pm

I can be a good math student when it comes to some interests...
