I could see Kahn coming back in a future movie but not in the very next one. Give it some time.

Are any of you doing anything special tomorrow? (Benedict's birthday)

I'm going to a housewarming in the evening... but I'm going to spend the day watching as many of his films as I can...

I'm also a part of the Michael Jackson fandom and we've always gone crazy about his Birthday (and other anniversaries).. We'll meet up, bake cakes, host parties, have 'chat room parties' write Birthday messages in threads on boards online, donate to charities in his name etc etc...

I joined Batch of Kindness and will try to be as nice and helpful as possible.

Had no idea what I wanted to do today in commemoration of the Batch of Kindness but was presented an opportunity when a stranger asked me to help babysit his baby son at their table while he went to get something inside the store. Gladly! Will continue seeking opportunities to do random acts of kindness.

Happy birthday Benedict!!!

Bought a street paper and gave a tip. Will see what else I can do.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BENEDICT!!!
Because it's getting really hot we won't get out today. But I will try to be kind to my hubby and to myself. Will see which Benedict treasure I will watch today.

There's so much birthday stuff around on tumblr, it's crazy. Just look at this:

I hope he will have a wonderful birthday and a great and successful next year, both job-related and private. And wow, he will already be 39 when we get to see him as Hamlet...

I hope he's having a great Birthday and that the day is treating him well!
I wish him an amazing year and If I could I'd tell him to stay awesome. Because you know... that's what he is!

I hope he's having a wonderful birthday, too! Wonder if he's still in Boston or is he back home?

**Posted by SusiGo** July 19, 2014 11:19 am

I read that he is home with friends and family. Not sure about the source though.

Oh! There was an update from Adam Ackland and it sounds like Ben's with him!

"Benedict wants to thank everyone around the world for all the birthday love and generosity, he is having a wonderful day! Lots more to come."

Awh that's a sweet message!!

It's great to see all the birthday wishes for Benedict on the web. What an amazing experience to see his fans all over the world celebrate Benedict's birthday by sending birthday messages, donating to charities and showing kindness in many other ways. I hope he has a wonderful day and it makes him happy to know that he inspires so many people.

Happy birthday Benedict! :-)

It is a wonderful thing, isn't it? Such a happy occasion shared by so many people.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** July 19, 2014 12:05 pm

Oh, and I also donated to Clares charity!

I love this idea. Small gestures of kindness can mean so much.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** July 20, 2014 8:30 am

Before going to bed I drank a shot and dedicated it to him... I hope he's feeling a bit better than I am this morning (but it's my own fault)

Last night I told my friends I've not seen in ages about my plans to go to London next year (to see Hamlet) and it seems most of them want to come... I warned especially one of them that my plans had everything to to do with Benedict Cumberbatch and she laughed at me... she told me by now she knew practically everything about him from my Facebook statuses.

I'm not even sorry!

Has anyone read about this? A Benedict at Madame Tussauds...?
