I really wanted Oded Fehr
Me, too. He would have kicked all ass. Though I associate him with Dr. Fate, b/c he did Dr. Fate's voice in the animated JLU.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Marvel has cast Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange.
Not quite. He's purportedly in final negotiations, which is what they said about Joaquin Phoenix.
I like him but he's in everything!
I really wanted Oded Fehr, who actually looks like Doctor Strange.
Yeah, I was going with Pedro Pascal.

I might be getting oversaturated with Cumberbatch.
I tend to agree. Kudos to BC for making his money while he can, and he's got a terrific voice, but the pictured of Oded were even yummier than BC.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Steph: The Helmet of Nabu made a brief appearance in the Constantine pilot, so it could happen.

I think I had read that on io9's spoilers. That would be cool. (Constantine is something I'm going to have to binge-watch later, because we already watch too much [for us].)

This gives me hope. Cumberbatch is so not the Dr. Strange I grew up on. (David Strathairn would actually be my first choice.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I love him, but take a vacation, Cumberbatch!

Oh I like this and would subscribe to your newsletter. Plus I'm still pissed about how Alphas ended (or not as the case may be - poor Gary).

Same here.
I love him, but take a vacation, Cumberbatch!
That's my reaction, too. I think he'd do wonderfully in the role, but he's in So. Many. Things.
I haven't looked at Tumblr yet. Has it blown up?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I'm slightly miffed at the trailer for Revenge of the Green Dragon for using a cover of House of the Rising Sun. The lyrics seem appropriate, but the fact that the repeated nickname for Japan was used to advertise a movie about Chinese characters stood out. Did they think "appropriate lyrics and vaguely referencing Asian peoples" was brilliant and acceptable?
