Lord Cumberbatch.
They don't even need to give him a fake name.

Paint him blue and he looks the part I suppose.

you can't put a price on sparks
I like it
Yes. YES!! This will be perfect.
I can just hear him say "Come to the dark side..."

It's such obvious casting. Id be surprised if he wasnt at least considered
I'm not a fan of Abrams but this is a far better choice than being in a Guillermo del toro movie. It's freaking Star Wars
And he was by far the best thing about into darkness. Too much charisma, the rest of the cast felt like dead weight when they shared scenes

I like the guy and all, but let me just say that him as Kahn was one of the world's biggest miscastings.

"Meanwhile, Vice Chancellor Ugga Bugga and Darth Buttcrack are rendezvousing on the planet Ovaltine, where the rebel leader B.B. Snausageberry is fighting the dreaded Camel Toe-ians. How's that?"

Well he shouldn't have been a white guy. But the performance itself rocked

I hope this guy doesn't become mark strong or Rufus Sewell or some shit though. Can never be cast as a protagonist (aside from Sherlock of course)

Agreed. But I also think his performance, while decent, wasn't Kahn at all either.

This has already been debunked.
I've said it before, but we really ought to start employing Betteridge's Law for this shit.

Is Ben Affleck being courted to direct Justice League?
Is Ewan McGregor returning as a force ghost in Ep7?
Is James Cameron only making Avatar films for the rest of his life?
Are Latino Review, Comicbookmovie.com and a slew of other movie blog sites not providing actual sources beyond anonymous emails a reliable barometer of actual things that exist?

This isn't a rant about recent threads or posts, so much as something that regularly grinds my gears regarding journalism - but more specifically, internet geek blog sites that don't practice even the basic tenets of journalism. There is no fact checking, source-filtering or even a quick reading of what original articles are saying before these shitty hit-counters run to publish the flimsiest articles with the interest of garnering clicks.
There are fewer and fewer sites I visit because of this cavalcade of click-happy bullshit the majority of these sites have turned into.
I remember when guys like Latino Review actually had a pretty decent batting record with their sources. These days, they want to make you watch their embarrassing Kickstarter videos in order to hear which geek staff member heard from a guy he doesn't know that Tim Curry is playing Top Cat for Mike Nichols.

That one might be true. You never know.

Based off one article taking Cameron's quote of 'I'm in the Avatar business' out of context, then at least 30 different sites running the same bullshit story, with nobody actually reading the original article which quoted him.
It's exactly the kind of shit I'm talking about.

Well, he could... you know...
But I'm just trolling you man. I know that stuff is just bs.

This reads like a twitter feed update.

Why are they putting quotes around text in text bubbles?
This is the weirdest thing, what an odd choice to have text bubbles, pointing exactly at the mouth of a person and still put quotation around the text.

Not sure how I would feel about this, if it turned out to be true.
On the one hand, unf, cheekbones, squee.
On the other, I would have to watch a not original trilogy Star Wars again.

And punctuation outside of the second quotation mark!
Don't worry Lucas can't hurt us anymore. No more.... ;_;...
I think i'm all Cumberbatch'd out.
I need to see ST:ID Again cause honestly I didn't like the first viewing. Not saying Mr. benedict dude is the reason why I dislike it either.
