I think it's funny that he had one of the best performances of the year (that one) and also one of the worst (Spider-Man)

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

It is the point, yeah. It's a movie about projections of masculinity and the fact that Cumberbatch's tough-guy affectations don't quite ring true is one of the reasons why I think he's so well cast in it

I don't usually like the guy, especially when he's playing Americans, but I think he does a great job in this one

yeah that makes sense.. i still think his performance could have been better.. i couldn't stop thinking of daniel day lewis for some reason which didn't help
