VH1 Cumby

Benedict Cumberbatch appeared on VH1 this morning to promote the second series of Sherlock premiering in the US on PBS on Sunday. (You can buy them all on iTunes.) This is for all you horny Cumby fans including Sarah from Cinesnark whoΓÇÖs really into his voice. He does have a good voice. I close my eyes.

Each episode of Sherlock is 90 minutes; they call it a ΓÇ£mini-movieΓÇ¥ and I love this - how in the UK theyΓÇÖre not bound by rigid programming schedules and make shorter, high production level shows. They also deal with limited budgets. So you could then argue, prosaically, that is indeed ΓÇ£quality over quantityΓÇ¥. That said, they invented Big Brother.

Most of the chatter for this yearΓÇÖs opening Sherlock will likely focus on the introduction of the Irene Adler character as his romantic adversary. Sort of. I like Sherlock ok; IΓÇÖll watch it but not hungrily, I donΓÇÖt miss it when itΓÇÖs over, and I certainly donΓÇÖt share in the vaginal attachment of its most vocal female audience. Sherlock the character is narcissistic and self-involved. Which is fine but that also applies to the show. ItΓÇÖs a show thatΓÇÖs in love with itself. I feel like when IΓÇÖm watching IΓÇÖm also expected to suck Sherlock off. Otherwise, woman, IΓÇÖm just not evolved enough to appreciate.
