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.

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.

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 look more rad than Lutheranism
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].)

Not quite. He's purportedly in final negotiations, which is what they said about Joaquin Phoenix.
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).

I really wanted Oded Fehr
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?

So very much. The wailing and gnashing of teeth flooded my dash for most of yesterday evening, with the, "Wait, not quite" posts coming in just as I was heading to bed.
I think BC would do well in the role, but I really don't need him in every franchise I watch. Oded Fehr was on my short list, too.
Or, you know, a Captain Marvel movie instead. (BC could play Chewie.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Someone on Tumblr said (and I agree) that they really wish BC would take a break from these big franchises and, like, go do a comedy. He's remarkably good at comedy.
