Benedict Cumberbatch to Star as Doctor Strange?

Actors, Editorial, Movies October 27, 2014 shawhamp 1 Comment

Is It True? Can It Be? Rumors are running rampant on the interwebs that Benedict Cumberbatch is going to play Doctor Strange in 2016. Basically, all we have to say in response to this is: This news break comes from Deadline as they jumped the gun before the official Marvel announcement is made. We can actually expect a real announcement to be official on October 28th. We’re not saying the Cumberbatch/Strange rumor isn’t correct, but based on @AgentM and someone else’s interpretation of his gif…

If you need any of us, we’ll be taking a cold shower.

Have a happy weekend!

Open Your Ears To: Neverwhere Adaptation Review

Actors, Books, Editorial September 23, 2014 magistrate

We wrote on Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere before, and now that the Neverwhere adaptation has been released and we’ve had time to digest the content, we at Larkable have something to say about it. Usually this writer prefers actual audiobooks as opposed to adaptations, but this Neverwhere adaptation is unlike any other radio production you’ll hear. The stars of the BBC radio Neverwhere adaptation are James McAvoy (Young Professor Charles Xavier) and Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell). McAvoy gets to let loose with his full Scottish accent…

Dunlop Tire has a Sexy New Look

Never Before Has A Tire Ad Encouraged Me To Lean My Decision One Way Or Another, But This New Benedict Cumberbatch Dunlop Ad Is On To Something.

According to Benedict Cumberbatch Official Club on Google+, Dunlop China has signed Benedict Cumberbatch as their new face. It’s certainly makes the impression of a Western tire company. Now if only they would put those ads on billboards all across America, people of all walks of life would find right now a really good time to switch to some new tires…

Why Dunlop?

That’s why.

Khal Drogo: A Cautionary Tale in the Value of Neosporin

Actors, Books, Television June 19, 2014 shawty007

Jimmy Kimmel and Jason Mamoa discuss the most accurate and anticlimactic death yet on “Game of Thrones” Some could say that the death of the hulking Khal Drogo from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire saga is a cautionary tale about disregarding the value of antiseptic. The Dothraki War Lord wins an impressive battle with an unruly soldier, only to succumb to infection from a nick in the chest left by an errant arahk (the scythe-like blade favored by Dothraki). Of course, there’s the…

Meanwhile, On Tumblr: Sleeping Beauty is the New Regina George

Actors, Editorial, Fictional Characters, Movies, Other Stuff June 12, 2014 shawty007

Who doesn’t love a good “Mean Girls” reference every now and then? The Tumblr account Dopey Beauty started this meme/gif of Mean Girl Aurora. And it is a beautiful thing. We’re pretty sure even Tina Fey would be amused by what she’s inspired. Probably. Buzzfeed loves Mean Girl Aurora so much they have an entire article featuring their favorite Sassy Sleeping Beauty insults. We don’t blame them.

Fassbender and McAvoy Love Your Fanfiction

Actors, Editorial, Movies June 6, 2014 shawty007

In the last several years, it would seem that fanfiction has taken on a life of its own. Evidenced by the massive success of “50 Shades of Grey,” and the upcoming publication of a One Direction fanfic called “After.” And of course, long before fanfics were published, plenty of big authors like Cassandra Clare got their start on sites like fanfiction.net. For many rabid fangirls (this author included), fanfiction wasn’t some big mystery. For many actors and talk show hosts? It might have been —…

Youtube Rec: That Awkward Moment When…

Actors, Television June 5, 2014 shawty007

The Fan-Made Doctor Who Trailer for Series 8 is better than the Official Trailer for Series 8. From the same John Smith who brought us that infamous “WhoLock” Trailer, comes a teaser for new “Doctor Who” which supersedes, by far, that measly 15-second trailer from two weeks ago via the BBC. Already at almost 400,000 views on youtube, there’s a good chance you’ve already seen this one…either way, we’re making sure that you do. Because this is one fan trailer you don’t want to miss. “Doctor…

Three New Reasons to Get Excited for “Star Wars Episode VII”

Actors, Movies June 2, 2014 shawty007

Twitter and Deadline confirm, Lupita Nyong’O and Gwendoline Christie have joined the cast of the upcoming Star Wars film. We reported last month that writer/director J.J. Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan had teased that, despite a full casting announcement, further announcements had yet to be made. Of course, his video sparked speculation again that previous rumors about Zac Efron’s participation in the movie might be correct after all. Unfortunately, Efron’s casting is not to be, but we’re definitely more pumped to hear confirmation that the brilliant,…

Breaking: Doctor Who Returns This August!

Video May 23, 2014 shawty007 1 Comment

No specific dates yet, unfortunately, BUT there’s a Doctor Who Series 8 trailer to ease the wait!

Okay, so it’s only 15 seconds…but at this point, it’s better than nothing. Series 8 marks the first season for lifelong Whovian Peter Capaldi, who took over Matt Smith’s role in the 2013 Christmas special. Based on his boyish excitement over the role and his previous roles, it’s safe to assume — Capaldi is going to hit it out of the park this fall.

Excuse Us While We Fangirl…The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is Back! (Briefly)

Actors, Books, Editorial, Fictional Characters, Other Stuff May 23, 2014 shawty007

A little over a year ago wrapped one of the most impressive youtube series we’ve ever had the pleasure of viewing…and they’ve just released an update! The incredible youtube series, co-produced by Bernie Su and Hank Green (of Vlogbrothers fame), launched back in March of 2012 as a modern retelling of the Jane Austen classic, Pride and Prejudice. Starring the amazingly talented Ashley Clements as Lizzie Bennet, a 24 year old mass communications grad student vlogging her way to her thesis, The Lizzie Bennet Diaries was a masterful,…
