Ballsy:   Sorry,
what?  This has to be the worst bit of “new father" dropping
that BC has done throughout this whole fuckfest.
 

30 seconds in: 

“ suffered the desperation of child loss, with his very
beloved wife, and I think that is very well documented, it doesn’t, I don’t
know, I’m a new father so I guess I’m a
sucker for that kind of PR, if it is PR
, but he overcame a hell of a lot .
. . “ 

PR?   Child loss? 
PR?   We’re taking RIII here, an historical
figure.  PR?   What. 
The.  Fry?
 

Other than that, I do
have to say that I didn’t mind what he said about RIII – he was being quite
diplomatic and reasonably factual, sorta.  
And I do think this talk of “power” is going to keep coming up in the
promo. 

Shame about the
dreadful prosthetics.  The hunchback.  Him limping like one leg is a foot shorter.  And that withered arm thing.  And the whole … mention of child
murdering in the other promo (but it’s okay, he’s a sexy and charming child murdering psychopath – who doesn’t love that?!). 

It’s a shame that he’s giving the game away so blatantly…  I don’t think he was trying to remind folks he’s a father and has a totes real baby at home; I just think that currently babies and PR tactics are one and the same in his mind and that translated into “I’m a new father so I guess I’m a sucker for that kind of PR”.

A bit obvious that…

I totally agree…you first when you hear it you go ‘Whaaaat??? Babies? PR? Whaaaat??? Did he just say that???’ and then ‘Oh, he’s being weird again.’ …and than you go: ‘Oh, okay, he’s doing it because his mind connects the two now’…very-very sad.

I wonder how he will tie in being ‘a new father’ in the DS promo…

You mean, besides pap walks and bullshit stories about Eye of Agamoto teething rings?

Ballsy:  Well I’d prefer that to shoe-horning that he’s a father while talking about “child loss” being PR when initially asked a question about whether his character brutally murdered two children.  But maybe that’s just me.  Shrugs!

I still prefer the half-assed, fucked-up shilling to the shilling that looks polished and rehearsed. I mean, both are sad/hilarious, but at least with the half-assed kind, there’s room to believe in some kind of internal resistance that keeps gumming up the works, whether it’s there or not.

“New Father???????”  New?????  the lips the teeth the tip o’ the tongue.  Oops again.

It’s time for BC to get the tatoo “I’m an idiot” on his forehead.

I suggest an up arrow instead along with another tattoo on his ass that says “Insert Here”.

Benedict Cumberbatch on Richard III, Today – BBC Radio 4

Nonny said SH was bitchy & now she’s all handsy. True. Narcs don’t turn on the ‘nice’ after being nasty if they know they are winning. But if they do it’s bc they r about to lose/be expossed (lame last aatempt to save their asses) .

gatorfisch:

Please let this be her last gasp. Butch sees to have nine lives

Narcs are only “nice” when they are luring a new victim or when a former victim is trying to leave. The latter is known as hoovering and the OP is right in that it is a sign of a desperate narc. BC is using the grey rock technique, he is not reacting to SH’s provocations and is focusing his attention elsewhere instead. This robs her of supply, even subtle snubbing counts as a narcissistic injury. When you keep interactions as bland and boring as possible narcs tend to lose interest pretty fast.

Ballsy:  Side-eye guy is worthy of his own gif and post.  It’s just too telling.

And we need captions from Mom Anon.  Reasons.  😉

Hey side eye guy:

*giggling*

I wonder if BC knew that the folks around them were laughing inwardly at how ridiculous they both looked. Well, given that recording? He does now!

This shows how bad his team is, if they thought it was ok to ditch rehearsal with the thinking that Dame Judi Dench or Sir Ian are small UK actors those two have world wide respect of actors and fans. They are what BC hopes to be someday, if he continues with this mess and his team he will never get to their level. He also better remember that he’s trying to launch a SM and its not big enough to get big name U S actors, he’s going to need the very people he’s burning bridges with, does he realize that after this last embarrassment that if he ask Dame Judi to do a project with him like he did for Hollow crown she might just say no,not because of other projects, but for what he’s done including this weekend, because I think you’re right they are getting fed up and now they’re taking public jabs at him for that reason. I also wonder what SH said to get that look in the one photo from the Obama event and did you notice that in most of the photos she just about breaks her neck with the way she bends to get into some of the shots.

BC’s not winning any points with the US public either. What he and SH did by trying to upstage the PotUS in terms of publicity was incredibly disrespectful. That together with skipping RSC rehearsals was a major faux pas that will have serious consequences. He’s already angered Marvel/Disney from what I know and is being blacklisted in HWood. Once the UK media turns on him (it certainly seems like it’s starting to) he might have to move to Canada or Australia to reboot his career. Probably wont have SunnyMarch to tidy him over either because AA’s going to get fed up with his BS…

“somehow I’d respect her more if she just did a mirror selfie for OOTD on Instagram like Kim Kardashian the rest of us.”–I think she shares gambles self righteous denouncement of selfies. Can you imagine what she says to Ben about fans who ask for one? She doesn’t do selfies but ran around to hamlet to get noticed, cranes her neck get in the shot with BC, positions herself strategically to be on camera for hamlet live then sits up there tossing her hair, ott acting for hired papparrazzi…

gatorfisch:

She’s too avant garde for selfies…

Too lazy is more like it. 

Apparently she had 3 outfits that day according to an anon on SoGo. She had the disrespectful sun dress, a light one and a dark one. She also changed and went back just so she could be seen at the front entrance wearing the darker one. That’s so pathetic.

gatorfisch:

P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C.  

Remember what the stanny tweeted? Everyone went, “Who the hell is that?” It’s been more than a year and people still don’t give a hoot about Rachel. So she wears the vomit caftan to President Obama’s talk yet dolls up at RSC? I think she wanted exposure but given that she was stuck next to BC in the morning? She chose to embarrass him by dressing in the gaudiest and most inappropriate way possible. Once she could strut around by herself she was sure to look more presentable. Why did she change twice? To get even more attention. If that isn’t an indicator of severe NPD I don’t know what is…

That wasn’t a lemon from life…

watch-this-face:

…that was a SLAP in his face from the profession. The disappointment of the ppl he allegedly so respects, looks up to. He f*cked up not just his privacy, but the relations to his field. Relations what he built since finished the university, respect he earned by hard work through more than a decade.

Yes, he’s rightfully angry… at himself. & good to see this bc that means he realized what is really important to him. How many slap does he need to finally stand up for his   principles? 

I also realized sg – It was never really important

how he sells the narrative & what reception it gets, or how the public sees him, BUT how his colleagues think about him. That judgment he had to face w on that stage told everything what truly matters to him. All the backlash he got in the last 2yrs seems nothing next to this scene. So what’s gonna be his next move? Which way want to follow: pleasing others, or be true to himself? 

That is the question—
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And, by opposing, end them?

I’m going to start calling BC “Tyrone”…

To all those saying CDAN isn’t reliable, a couple of days ago they revealed a blind that Prince was seriously ill and was going to die shortly. Now look. So, so sad.

annashipper:

They did?  :o(

They did not. The blind in question did not appear on CDAN, and so you know, this anon is trying to stir shit up re: cause of death.

TOO FUCKING SOON, ANON.

There was a BI but it wasn’t CDAN.

Way too fucking soon, anon.  

The site that revealed Prince’s terminal illness was MediaTakeOut.
