The Sweetie's worst nightmare has been confirmed: Benedict Cumberbatch is playing Doctor Strange.
Sweetie: I don't want Cumberbatch playing Doctor Strange! I'd rather they cast Howard Donald!
Ladies and gentlemen, Howard Donald exhibiting his considerable talents:

Oh, Howard.

Date: 2014-12-07 08:05 pm (UTC)What I'm really here for is that mesmerising gif. Boy's got skillz. *stares* (I also like Mark watching and giving a little shimmy in solidarity *g*)

Date: 2014-12-08 04:48 am (UTC)But that gif is mesmerizing, ain't it? The full clip is adorable because he's a bit tentative at first, but as soon as he realizes he's got it nailed he really starts working it. And Mark watching Howard is pretty much always a lovely thing. *g*

However I have been reading all the reasons why a good number of people are against the news to understand the reaction.

Date: 2014-12-08 04:59 am (UTC)But really I'm just here for that GIF. I agree with Jason - Howard must've been a stripper in a previous life. HIPS DON'T LIE.

Date: 2014-12-08 01:58 pm (UTC)This post really was just an excuse for that gif. And yeah, Jason was totally right. LOOK AT THOSE HIPS!

And Howard, yes. Never grow up, lad... :)

Date: 2014-12-08 07:04 pm (UTC)Nick Cave would have been a clever choice, I suppose... I just had to google the looks of Dr Strange and apart from the actual Stan-Lee-drawings there were montages with Liam Neeson (!!!), Johnny Depp, and (my personal favourite) Joseph Fiennes. You can tell the sweetie it could be worse than BC. :D
Thinking about it...Chad Kroeger would be great in that role, no?? *evil cackle*
You know, I'm kinda glad The Donald's back to work - his twitter doesn't always benefit from his boredom. And, no, I think he should stick to his day job and not try acting...you know it never works when super heroes play super heroes... *G*
Now if only I could find out how to use my user pics in the LJ app...le sigh...
