Kahn is tired of your jackassery.

He really is better at everything.

Yes he is.

And he looks better than anyone.

I think it's high time to watch that movie again... I need some Khan, get me some!

Hell, yeah. Is it out on DVD yet? I have to put it in my Netflix queue.

besleybean · October 3, 2013 7:36 pm

Yep, I have the DVD!

Oh yes, and it's about to explode!

*I'm* about to explode. My eyeballs exploded months ago. I keep patching them back together, but it's getting messy.

I saw a trailer on TV the other night for that Julian Assange movie he did. Whoa, can't wait to see that one. I love how Ben is such a fine actor and just metamorphoses (is that a word?) himself into those various roles.

You can say that again! I would really like to see him in a well-written, intelligent comedy, I'm convinced he would do a hilarious job (just listen to CP!). But I suspect most of the stuff he'll get offered in the near future will be drama of some sort. Which I love, but comedy would be something... different.

Someone actually made the comment to me that Ben was not handsome in that long stringy white hair. Of course my response was that whether he looked handsome or not was not the point, the point was he looks like Jullian Assage. I also added that BC is in no way vain about his looks when it comes to inhabiting a character.

I'd watch and listen to him read the phone book. (old joke, but fitting....) Seriously.

He's not just a professional, but a seasoned professional. Look at what Martin did, to become The Hobbit! That's what seasoned actors do, and they're happy and proud to do it.

Heartbreaking...knowing what he's going to do to him.

Oh yes, as well as the moment shortly before, when John walks past and Sherlock follows him with his eyes for a second. I'm telling you, it's those looks that for me make Sherlock and John into Johnlock.

Well, Ben is not exactly handsome in various other roles, either. And you're right, that's not what it's about. We're talking about the whole package here a lot, and that's exactly what is crucial. I immensely enjoy watching him do a hell of a acting job in every single role, no matter what he looks like. And what could be more boring than an actor who looks handsome in all of his roles - but who is just not very talented? That would be dull, boring, predictable.
