The Fangirly Diary of a Geek Girl: Bandersnatch Cummerbund

MONDAY

Great news! Prometheus is oficially an R-rated film for “sci-fi violence, including some intense images and brief language”. Tom Rothman wasn’t just trying to appease the fans, and for that I thank him.

And then Ewan McGregor decides to join Twitter. The fandom rejoices!

On more Twitter news, Clark Gregg tries to make me wibble. He succeeds. Oh, Coulson, you magnificent fanboy!

Oh yeah, remember that interview where Tom Hiddleston recites Shakespeare? He also talked about who has the best butt of the cast. Why, Chris Evans, of course!

In news of a less loved Tom, damn they airbrushed the hell out of Tom Cruise, right? And while he looks good for a guy his age, I can’t help but feel a little disturbed.

Talking about looking good, guess who was voted The Sun‘s Sexiest Man. Yup, Benedict Cumberbatch! He got more than double the votes of David Beckham. Damn, those Cumberb*tches sure know how to get organized!

He’s sexy and… he doesn’t know it, apparently.

Regarding his controversial looks, Sherlock‘s fellow actress, Una Stubbs has things to say:

He has a completely original look, don’t you think? One minute he’s not quite so handsome. Then the next minute he’s gorgeous. What is that term? Jolie laide. It’s French for ugly-handsome.

TUESDAY

The day was lazy, with obvious news like The Avengers getting a sequel. So I entertained myself watching how Sean Bean dies in (almost) every production he’s in.

Yes, lack of news makes me weird.

And then, The Washington Post misspelled Benedict Cumberbatch’s name in the most epic way. He was renamed Bandersnatch Cummerbund. Yes, that’s a Lewis Carroll (and fancy men’s clothes) reference. Sure, they later said it was on purpose, but whatever. It became so popular that it became a worldwide trend on Twitter.

Even my dad commented on it on my Facebook!
