Moriarty's Skull

It's always nice to be smartly dressed in some sharp Dunhill and be given a cane with Moriarty's Skull at the end of it...

I made a video out of my new audio Post … 

I edited 27 of more than 30 characters Benedict Cumberbatch is voicing in “Artists in crime”.

It’s just incredible, spectacular, how he manages to change his voice so many times, sometimes within seconds, within ONE audio book. And each and every voice is totally different… old men, young women, accents, he does it all.

It’s breathtaking, it really is. Listen and watch.

“Sherlock” is more than just Benedict Cumberbatch’s show, but it would be nowhere near as compelling without his lead performance. The elements of Sherlock Holmes that tend to get buried underneath his cultural iconography come vividly alive in the actor’s portrayal: his intelligence as a complex quality rather than a set of magic tricks; the alienation that comes with genius; the way that alienation can manifests itself in turning to drugs (in this case, nicotine and a never-named but assumed nod to Holmes’ famous affinity for cocaine); the lack of any but the most transient intimacy; and of course the way in which all these characteristics connect organically to each other. On “Sherlock,” Holmes’ traits never feel as though they’re items ticked off a list compiled from the Conan Doyle stories in Cumberbatch’s hands. He does the near-impossible in allowing us to think of Sherlock Holmes as a real person — and for that alone, Benedict Cumberbatch deserves a salute as the greatest Holmes that ever graced the screen.


YESSSSSSS!

I’m so in love with the indiewire article…

Watching Cumberbatch hit not a single false note the entire episode, building toward a very emotional final phone conversation with Watson that both actors play beautifully, is a particular delight, with a final shot that sets up a cliffhanger for the third series so good it almost physically hurts.


YES YES YES! It’s a delight how the writer dissects Benedict’s performance….

The summer’s gone, and all the flowers are dying ‘Tis you,’tis you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow ‘Tis I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

“He fucks you, but he loves me.”

Part III here.

During his stay in the home this patient, who is calm for most of the time, has had several attacks, lasting for between two weeks and a month. During these attacks he is subject to terrifying terrors and has on several occasions attempted to poison himself, either by swallowing colors that he used for painting or ingesting paraffin…

Time once again to promote my Benedict Cumberbatch filmography video… since the last comment says that it needs more viewers :) …

I took scenes from (nearly) all films and TV shows Benedict Cumberbatch has ever acted in plus the intense “28 weeks later” soundtrack and put the scenes in a chronological order... it just fits.

I hope you enjoy it… I think its pretty intense and shows what a brilliant actor Cumberbatch is.

Are there any specific actors you’ve got your eye on that you’d like to work with?

There is one English actor whose name has now of course slipped my mind. He plays in the modern Sherlock Holmes adaptation. Benedict…

Cumberbatch. Don’t worry it’s quite a difficult one to remember.

That’s right. I saw him in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and it was the first time I had seen him and I thought he was very intriguing and mysterious and for me it was really the most intriguing actor I had preferred in that film and for instance he would be someone I’d like to work with one day.
