Just that drink we were talking about. Wink

It looks eerily similar to what's on the tray.

oooooh.... now i get it Rolling Eyes

(i thought we were done talking about that)

no, that in fact is a choctail. thing. he portrays a chocolate factory owner who rapes children and then marries them. that is also the role that landed him the sherlock part. apparently. (they saw atonement and thought "that's our sherlock")

I liked that film, powerful story Nod

sad ending Crying or Very sad

by Norc Tue Jan 28, 2014 7:24 am

yepp..

agree. i especially love the scene at the harbour that is i think five minutes or something, they're walking around, and like it is shot in one go. i love that.

Her confession at the end chokes me, the "what-might-have-beens", yeah, a rendering film Neutral

by Norc Tue Jan 28, 2014 8:07 am

yepp.. i remember the first time i saw it, i think i was too young to really understand all of the plot and the magnitude, but it really got me, the end. can u imagine the first time i watched it, i didn't know who benedict was Razz

i am desperately trying to remember what i thought back then, but i cant Sad

same about a miss marple episode i saw and two episodes of heartbeat. so strange.. i remember the episodes, but i couldn't remember him

by Bluebottle Tue Jan 28, 2014 10:20 am

Yeah, I also saw that a good while ago. Nod

Having no idea that Benedict Cumberbatch was in it or who he was for that matter. His performance certainly is striking when you see it now.

The ending is rather sad, but also quite poignant when you think about the love story it actually leaves you with. Something quite interesting aboiut dreams and reality there.

And I think I remember the choctail ( Laughing

) when you mention it. I just thought, "What, werent we just talking about this?" when I saw it.

looks like shit though. sprutshetta.

Stephen Moffat wrote:“He’s not a sociopath, nor is he high-functioning. He’d really like to be a sociopath. But he’s so fucking not. The wonderful drama of Sherlock Holmes is that he’s aspiring to this extraordinary standard. He is at root an absolutely ordinary man with a very, very big brain. He’s repressed his emotions, his passions, his desires, in order to make his brain work better — in itself, a very emotional decision, and it does suggest that he must be very emotional if he thinks emotions get in the way. I just think Sherlock Holmes must be bursting!” [X]

by Bluebottle Tue Jan 28, 2014 1:11 pm

I found that Moffat quote quite intriguing. It's an emotional decision to surpress ones emotions to that degree? I think that is a good point.

It also tells you that they probably wrote Sherlock very self contained at the beggining, and then made him more human as the series progressed and he let his guard down around John.

And that he uses the sociopath thing as an excuse to get away with stuff.

Also it's strange how well Gatiss fits in in that picture, isn't it? Shocked

by Bluebottle Tue Jan 28, 2014 1:27 pm

I was going to say, I don't think I've seen that many other Cumberbatch movies. Except Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, which I liked.

Did you say a couple of his movies had gotten Oscar nominations this year somewhere earlier?

by Norc Tue Jan 28, 2014 1:40 pm

this is the promo trailer for sherlock sereis 3 in korea. no srsly, it's legit.
seems moffat hasn't convinced the south koreans yet Laughing

12 years a slave and the hobbit. i think maybe star trek for special effects. and maybe fifth estate, but i am not sure about that one. no forget it, osage county is the last one! best actress and that, benedict isn't nominated though, just the movies.

They do?

Well, parody is after all the sincerest form of flattery. Nod

Jonathan Creek can be quite good actually. Though it's more of a comedy than a straight forward detective mystery series. Have you watched it?

by Bluebottle Wed Jan 29, 2014 9:13 am

Thank you for the feedback on the movies. I might look them up. Nod

Yeah, they're not his nominations, but at least it shows him off as having picked some rather good projects to spend his time on in 2013. That must be quite hard when you're as in demand as he must be. Or to let him say so in his own words. Laughing

It's quite a good. He even lives in a windmill at the beggining. Now, how can you not love someone who lives in a windmill. Laughing

Sherlock parody will be interesting.

by azriel Wed Jan 29, 2014 9:47 am

Hoo hoo, lucky old me, that windmill is in my county, 30 miles from me ?
