That VF interview is only making the general public turn an even more critical eye towards the ShamWow. They may even start thinking that BC and SoFail are birds of a feather… (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
I’m with PTSkeptonanny…I don’t know who BC is supposed to be anymore. I am genuinely confused by a Bi-polar PR narrative that swings 180 degrees from one week to the next. Will it be UTA? Will it be Disney? It’s pretty obvious who is in the driver’s seat based on what is being emphasized at the time. With UTA it’s OTT ShamFam while Disney is all about the good Doctor. But instead of getting a seamless transition between both personas, they are in direct competition with one another. This is very, very bad considering how close we are getting to the premiere. Doctor Strange should be front and center with little in the way of personal puff pieces to distract. This is the worst possible time to shill anything other than your work BC. Puff pieces are to bolster popularity during downtime, when work is slow or you are on vacation. Not now! It’s not logical.
Reading their headline today’s anon comes to mind 😂
TH: “Well, um. How best to put this? That notion is — look, the truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together, and we’re very happy. Thanks for asking. That’s the truth. It’s not a publicity stunt.”
Also they have very intersting coverpages 😊 Please see the one today below. Source: Their coverpage gallery right under Benedict’s article, in case anyone would like to obtain more information on that dramatic topic
He thinks stalking has something to do with what people “believe”, and discuss on the ‘web? Ask someone who’s actually been stalked and they might help him understand what it really entails. Gee, some people think his wife & kid are PR stunts. And…? If there is no “there” there, why the heck does he care what crazy stuff people THINK? Did he/they participate in weird papp opportunities, (ala Hiddleswift)? Did these fans see something that made them go, “huh”? He’s sounding pretty defensive if people simply cooked up crazy crap out of thin air. He’s not new to being a celebrity, you’d think his skin would be thicker. If he doesn’t think his “all that”, why’s he working the studly pose on the VF cover?
Too bad for him that it just pissed us off more. Here’s a little hint, Benedict: if you don’t want people questioning your “family”, don’t make it so obvious that something is wrong. Either learn how to lie better or don’t live a lie. This is ALL because YOU couldn’t sell the lie.
Dude played Julian Assange and this is the best he can do? Sorry. Try again.
I think it’s really to do with the idea that the ‘Internet’s Boyfriend’ can’t actually belong to anyone but the internet.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Erm, Ben? You sound like a butthurt ex. The Internet broke up with you and moved on over two years ago. You are not getting back together because it’s in a happy place right now with Oscar Isaac. Too bad you can’t seem to get over that…
Dr. Strangelove looks too much like a superhero version of Inception, judging by the previews. Not worth Netflix or even a torrent. Think I’ll wait until it’s in the $6.00 Blu-Ray bin at Walmart.
Bunch of PR tweets followed by sightings? The timing is impeccable…if committing career suicide is your objective. Instead of another round of damage control at the NT shouldn’t you be in LA for the Emmy’s? DS premieres in one month and you are still playing hide and seek. Letting UTA and that drug-addled prostitute lead you around by the nose. Pathetic, especially coming from an actor of your caliber. It’s looking more and more like SH’s work ethic is rubbing off on you. Disney means business Ben, keep defying them and neither they nor the press will go easy on you. They have already fired enough warning shots recently…
It’s not news to tell you that, for decades now, celebrities and paparazzi have worked in close association. Some photo agencies’ entire business models are based on taking “candid” shots of stars which have been entirely set up by the celebs themselves (who then take a cut of the profits the paps make from selling to the media). But US paps are getting irked by the entitled behaviour of the new Hollywood set though. Not only do modern celebs expect paps to pay for their own airfare and hotels, they are demanding ever higher percentages of the photos’ licensing fees. Then, to really top it off, the actors turn both barrels on the paps in the press. Some who have been involved in exactly these sorts of arrangements have been giving blistering interviews recently, complaining about how they just can’t get any privacy.
What happened to flipping them off for invading said privacy Ben? Yes, yes, I know that giving that grasping harpy one pence of your hard earned money causes you physical pain. Gotta make the bitch work for it, cue the fugly rag shilling and the papwalks of shame. You do realize that damages your own reputation though don’t you? A poor public image translates into less earnings and significantly shortens the lifespan of your career…
Wow, SH and her thirsty clan have really outdone themselves this time. You see the WS Middle Temple Concert “news” on ACB? Isn’t new at all, in fact according to the cached version of Julius Drake’s website it’s been there for a month or more. Before the papwalks in Malibu/Santa Monica…
BC’s not much of a “Surprise Reader” if you revealedhis name from the get go in the bottom credits, is he? “Tickets will be in high demand, I’m sure.” Mr. Drake couldn’t be more transparent if he were a glass fish! This along with all the other fuckery we’ve been seeing from SH and her PR cronies as of late is telling. Must get that one last pail of milk from the cash cow before it goes AWOL…
So here is my take on today’s schizophrenic narrative. IMO it’s not so much deliberate skeptic baiting as much as a PR war going on behind the scenes. This involves Disney (most likely) vs. UTA, the former is anti-sham the latter is pro-sham. Disney does not want this mess to drag on more than it has to hence BC’s lack of enthusiasm for the first pap walks. Yesterday’s Malibu morning shots with the widest circulation clearly showed the world that something was amiss. That is not what UTA wanted, it’s also a given that SH threatened to raise hell so what did we get? Take two, a second set of staged pap shots taken on the same day with the same bags featuring a “friendlier” BC. As to the location of the Shutters parking lot…well see for yourselves:
I am amazed at how stupid and desperate these people are. Oh and Mr. Burro Cumberbatch? Your current employer has ended careers over lesser offenses, I shouldn’t have to remind you of that. If UTA and SH think they are going to do as they please they have another thing coming. Not just from Disney either…
FFS this is all SH. PR vere ist you? You need to shut her down because this is not helping your client. Yeah, the “family” he tries to stay away from when he’s not working by drinking, playing tennis, watching plays…This poorly edited P2P blurb is so that SoFake can get her name out there again, humiliate BC with a boldfaced lie that will earn him the ridicule of his peers and alienate him from non-fans who could warm up to him as Dr. Strange. You know who else is looking at this SoFake? Disney. As BC himself said, he was never a serious contender for Bond even when he was at the top of his game. That was over 2 years ago btw or was it 17? The only top contenders that were in actual negotiations for playing Bond were Tom Hiddleston and Idris Elba. TH was almost set to play Bond until he started having PR troubles. Cue IE who according to a reliable inside source got greenlighted more than “a few weeks ago”. If that doesn’t work out the next contenders would be Turner and Norton. Hey Marvel, you got room for one more Avenger?
I’m kind of excited about it…but, it seems like his only new work is coming from SunnyMarch and the one HW movie, that may or may not happen. THAT is a little worrying.
Well, as last week’s lame logo stunt proved Squidzilla will stop at nothing. She’ll fuck with SunnyMarch just to spite BC and anyone else who doesn’t give in to her demands. Remember that implied threat in The Fail about SM tax evasion? Pretty sure that was her. Another thing that is worrying is that there is all this hype for projects that may never even make it out of Development Hell. “The War Magician” that is supposed to be SM’s big launch? Doesn’t even have a tentative release year yet. Interestingly the Levins also resigned as directors of BlackSheep Ltd back in April of this year. It seems to me like BC is trying to convince the industry that he is still viable. Truth is he wont be for much longer if he keeps burning his bridges with the likes of the BBC and Disney…
Just stop already, you are done for. All you can do now is plan an escape strategy and hope that the general public is forgiving. I say this because you are fucking up more than ever and we are on to your PR parlor tricks. If that’s local time on those tweets? Wow, the British sure are punctual aren’t they? Showing up three hours early to a play. Not only that but no mention of SoFake…progress? But then we get an IG account of someone who may or may not be her at some pub. With a drunken Matt Smith, not very flattering btw…and BC couldn’t talk because he runs away from fans now. But when he hightailed it into his getaway Benz, he left alone. Yeah, transparent much? So if this is a plant it’s a win-win for a mightily pressed SoFake. If people think it was her then she gets her name circulating again. If not then it lends credence to the rumors of BC boozing and going out on dates with other women. I didn’t think it was possible to dislike her more than I already did…
Now, THAT would have been a smart choice! Probably why Marvel never made it…
You are right! DL has features that would have looked more otherworldly than TS’s and she’s Asian. Marvel dropped the ball on so many levels and now they are scrambling to beat DC. Not going to happen, I think they will recover with GOTG2 but DS is not going to do all that well. They focused heavily on the Asian market while making TAO white and “forgot” about the Latinx market in the process. Selfies at a Chinese restaurant and 30 seconds of Benjamin Bratt aren’t going to make up for that. Dumbasses…
From what I understand, French anon met Sops at a party last year around February (which was during Ben’s Oscar campaign 😉) where she attended alone, had a flat belly and drank alcohol. Sops flirted openly that night with everyone who has a potentially good career and also with French anons companion.
Everyone felt uncomfortable with Sops that evening and at one point one tried to talk with her about operas but there wasn’t much she was able to contribute to that conversation. French anon was under the impression she didn’t understand.
After the party French anon then read that Sops was supposed to be pregnant, 5th month along already and that was quite a surprise.
Apparently doctors and engineers weren’t good enough for Sops and that she talked only to people after she knew their salary finds French anon crazy.
