Benedict Cumberbatch confirms Sherlock series 4
Benedict Cumberbatch has revealed that he and co-star Martin Freeman have signed up for a fourth series of the BBC1 detective drama.
“We’ve agreed to two more series but I’m probably going to get into trouble for saying that,” said Cumberbatch at the South Bank Show Awards this afternoon.
“All I know at the moment is I’m doing these three and another three.”
The star added that he would like the show to continue beyond a fourth series but admitted it would depend on whether he, Freeman and co-creator Steven Moffat, who is also showrunner on Doctor Who, could find the time to do it.
“It just depends on Martin and I’s availability, how long we can keep it going. It depends on Steven’s ability. I’d love to keep it going.”

We’s so Cumberbatched XD
The Hobbit: There And Back Again Has A New Release Date!
On the one hand, baw, we have to wait longer for the final installment of The Hobbit.
On the other; yay X-Men: Day of Future Past has a release date I didn’t previously know about (July 18th 2014 btw) and will hopefully be another Big Summer Blockbuster!
Also, I kinda like that both The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Hobbit movies are ones I got/get to see in the Winter?
I usually re-watch LOTRs ‘round Christmas/New Years, so it just really works for me.

^ Me after reading the second article.
Fox affiliate WNYW-TV’s Dick Brennan filed this report on the Occupy Wall Street protests. It contains video of cops swinging batons at protestors, which hit Brennan himself; his shooter, Roy Isen, was hit with pepper spray.
“The Occupy Wall Street movement has basically been a four-week, downtown Manhattan live-in which has spread to cities all around the country, causing the media to move its coverage dial from ‘Blackout’ to ‘Circus.’ (Beat.) Those were really the only two settings it has.”
