Dancy dance with Benedict for you 🥳
Thank you, @bakerstreethound! How I love me some Dancingbatch - and this is absolutely appropriate, as I believe he (and we, his devotees) have so much to celebrate as the year draws to a close!
All the amazing work he did in The Power of the Dog
and The Electrical Life of Louis Wain.
All the accolades he's been receiving for his extraordinary portrayal of Phil Burbank--and the awards which we FULLY EXPECT MUST FOLLOW...
*glares pointedly at SAG-AFTRA, The Hollywood Foreign Press, the BAFTA voters, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, recalling painfully their ignorant slights towards B's Alan Turing**also at the Emmy voters who, I believe to this day, didn't take the time to watch all of Patrick Melrose, but voted for the easy flash & sparkle of Versace instead*
Hmmm- where was I? Oh yes...not to mention that we are finally, FINALLY, FINALLY getting some new Strangebatch in only 8 days, after we have waited what feels like a lifetime. I've already got tickets for showings next Friday and Saturday, so that my Strangebatch itch will finally begin to be satisfied!
Plus all the red carpets and promos and interviews
that Benedict has been doing for the films he worked on while we languished in covid lockdowns, longing for just a little taste of Our Beloved. We seem to have struck it rich, eh?
Indeed, it is time to rejoice and who could lead us better than the Man himself - with my favorite bit of Dancingbatch from May of 2015...
Thank you so much, my dear - for giving me a chance to highlight some of the things that have me counting my blessings as the year comes to a close. xx
