Heh.

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.

I have no reaction to the BC thing other than he seems in serious danger of over-saturating the market, and if his Dr Strange is anything like his Khan (*grrrr*) he'll be playing Sherlock in a different costume.

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*)

I'm fond of BC (I'm coming over to see him in Hamlet, after all) but he is definitely in danger of becoming overexposed. And I do think he needs to be a bit more strategic in picking his roles.

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*
