Team Sherlock (!) and Dr. Strange.

Actually, to sum up -- this is all Twittery and links which includes the Moff's award [go, Steven!] via Louis Moffat, plus Mark's interview, and then it's all Ben:  Little Favour, Dr. Strange, Hollow Crown's Richard III.

Mark Gatiss is interviewed by Tor.com... and it's a lot of fun, trust me!

And there's also new promo pictures of Ben as Richard III out.  They must be on tumblr -- and certainly on Twitter! -- 'cause I'm not finding them via Google.  8(  Apparently the gif and the pics are clipped from the trailer for the BBC's upcoming show lineup.

Grab bag: April cons, vids, etc.

Fan vids!  You've missed them, you know.  ;)

Moonmouse did two silly ones that I like.  It took several watches before I stopped cracking up, in fact.

TMBG via Moonmouse!  Particle Man (Sherlock BBC) and Birdhouse In Your Soul (Sherlock and John + They Might Be Giants).

In the s3 spoiler zone:  liar | Sherlock BBC by Katrin Depp; also expect feels.

EW has the backstory behind Graham Moore's acceptance speech for his TIG Oscar.

Third Star...

Third Star!  At last, I finally got to see it 25-January-15.  Been waiting a long while for TS to be aired in my area.

Lovely movie.  There is sadness, but funnies too.

If you haven't seen it, you may want to skip the movie trailer at Digital Spy.  It has a few spoilers.  I only knew the famous quote, and it's a good one, but you may want to avoid that as well.  Or not.

Note that audience has more affection (and love) for Third Star than critics did; certainly this is true at Rotten Tomatoes, and most 'Batch fans are quite keen on Third Star.  Expect feels!

I really want to see Third Star again, without commercial breaks -- the station broke scenes in really bizarre places.

If you have seen the movie, Roger Ebert wrote a really good review -- very in-depth and with spoilers -- about Third Star and his own father.  Roger has several great pics.

Little Favour, BC art, fan vids.

Online birthday wishes; plus cake!

There's a tumblr for online messages to Ben, Happy Birthday Benedict.  This was activated in 2013.  You don't have to speak English or have a tumblr account to use it.

If you were thinking about Benedict and wanted to find a way to help him celebrate his birthday this year, nineteen days from now... he has ideas about that.  He'd far prefer you help someone out.  (Here's my master post of the 2014 charity fundraisers that fans are doing for Ben.)

Some news, some s3 spoilers.

Mark notes that there is no Sherlock without Benedict... adding, I am sorry to say, the sort of comment that Steven would make!

More news on Sherlocked -- the convention planned for venues in the UK and USA.  Okay, let's be honest, a tiny bit of news!

But don't blame the messenger[s] as the post was written by Sherlockology.  No one has more details as of yet, apparently.  o.o

March has come and so I will attempt to keep screening direct spoilers.

Bonus:  Little Favour leaves you speechless, a review.

All Souls Day, Team Sherlock style. ;)

Three shades of Ben:  Little Favour, Frankenstein, and BBC Sherlock -- a holiday version!  SPOILERS [for Sherlock s2 ep 3] after the cut!

Note that this s2 Sherlock is a) specially in keeping with Halloween and b) very likely to cause Reichenbach feels.  You have been warned!

From the Graham Norton Show -- with Harrison Ford! -- to portraying Smaug... to Jimmy Fallon and their Rickman-off... to the cover of TIME Magazine.  Ben has been very busy!

Little Favour iTunes' NUMBER ONE!

You can buy Little Favour on iTunes.  Taking pre-orders of 5-November-2013.

VODzilla has a short piece about Little Favour, which includes the official trailer, in case you missed it.

ScreenRant is a bit more spoilery.  As is WETA, but hey, with news like this!

Benedict Cumberbatch’s Short Film ‘Little Favour’ to Get Worldwide iTunes release

And this is what I was looking for -- how high up Little Favour is in the iTunes.  From PREORDERS.  Holy mackerel!  Here's the press release as of 24-Oct-13.

Number frickin' one!

BTW, some of the info on these sites will be duplicated.  I've read them already.

Little Favour coming soon!

The trailer for Little Favour is out; and it is bloody and violent.

If you have a weak stomach, are at work or school, or young kids are around, do not watch trailer.  It may upset you or them.

Buzzfeed has a synopsis of the journey of Little Favour (titled "Benedict Cumberbatch Is Beaten And Bloody In His Latest Project") in case you want a snazzy recap.

Screen caps via tumblr if you can't watch the trailer right now.

For a producer moment that involves no violence, look here.  :D

I missed seeing this update last month, but the mid-August news was about screening Little Favour.

Little Favour, spoilers, fan art... whee.

A Sherlock cake from deviantart.  :D

Cumberbatched:  Married to guess who! (Really the only good part of The Other Boelyn Girl.)  Ben smiling, with Little Favour haircut.

If you didn't know, Little Favour is filming right now.  Ben did a brief video update on Adam's YouTube page 17-May-13.

Followup on Little Favour: Benedict + Adam.

If you haven't heard about Little Favour yet, here's my recap.  It's a short independent film being crowdfunded by the Cumbercollective.  Amazing and breathtaking response!

Six days left; do hop to it if you can help out, and remember -- spreading the word DOES count as helping out!!!

The short film Little Favour.

Little Favour is the short film starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Nick Moran.

Indiegogo is where they're raising money for the indie film.  (It's a nonprofit.)  They smashed through their initial goal quickly -- huzzah, Cumbercollective!

If you want to pledge, you've got until 17-May-13, 11.59pm, Pacific Time.  They were at £65,600 last I saw.

Adam Ackland is one of the producers.  8)  If you watch his Twitter feed, he'll tell you when it's to be filmed [first week of June 2013] and where.

Do spread this around, if you please, on Twitter, tumblr, and to every Cumberfan you know.  Many thanks!
