Benedict Cumberbatch in a dark comedy

Benedict Cumberbatch is in talks to join Gemma Arterton in the dark comedy Absolutely Anything: link. The movie "follows a teacher who discovers he has magical powers that allow him to wipe out classrooms of badly behaved students and bring people back to life. As he learns how to control these powers, he experiences a series of mishaps." LOL, this could be hilarious, especially since the Monthy Python crew is working on it :P

Fic rec: Inception

"Antimony" by jibrailis | Arthur/Eames | Dreamshare goes legal, Arthur goes corporate, Eames goes and (against his better judgment) falls in love. | ~54.000 words

Arthur comes for him in December, in the middle of ashy snow, when Eames is wearing three jumpers and a pair of fuzzy slippers given to him by his grandmother. Arthur shows up at the doorstep of his flat, sleek and elegant, looking like a Queen's ransom even with his hair dampened by English weather. Next to him, Eames seems positively dowdy, and this makes him incredibly happy in ways that no doubt can be attributed to his perverse nature and general lack of character.

This is what I spent yesterday doing - reading this fic. It's 54k words! And it's funny and it's touching and it's a bit sad and it's all around perfect.

Iron Man

It's been so long since I saw Iron Man that I completely forgot how much fun the movie was, I forgot so many details... It was like watching a new film entirely, I barely remembered it. Shame on me, owning the movie on DVD and not watching it for so long.

The details I forgot? Like how sarcastic Jarvis was. The hilarious bits with Tony's robot that kept spraying him with foam, convinced that Tony was on fire. How big a part Coulson played and that it was he who saved Pepper. How awesome Pepper was. How incredibly smart Tony was. And that Faran Tahir was in it, Chris Hemsworth's George Kirk's captain in Star Trek!

My favorite part? Tony building the second suit in his mansion. His trial and error way was hilarious!

So yeah, slowly going through my piles and piles of DVDs... Still, yes.
