When I attended the Doctor Strange Press Junket last week, I was one of 25 bloggers there for Walt Disney Studios (Disclosure: All-Expenses Paid), the first person that we interviewed was the Sorcerer Supreme himself, Benedict Cumberbatch. Talk about a guy who lights up a room. When he came in and sat down he commented on the toys laid out in front of him. One of them being my Doctor Strange Funko Pop!. Benedict certainly had charm and he had everyone at the table enthralled, myself included, in his stories. While we only had him with us for 20 minutes he was completely present during that time and answered each of our questions and then took some photos with us. I don’t know how it worked out this time around but I was actually near the person we were interviewing in almost every photo. I’m standing there right behind Benedict in the photo above. And here he is with those toys I was talking about.

When Benedict saw the toys this is what he said about them. His fascination with the toys definitely added to the boyish charm that he had in this interview.

“Wow. Toys R Us. Look at that. It is indeed. I love these Pop! toys. Oh no…I don’t do that in the film. That’s a stunt I don’t do in the film. Yeah, top heavy, definitely. Cloak heavy. There were some cloak heavy moments, definitely cloak heavy moments. Morning everybody.“

Then we got right into it with the questions. Everyone wanted to ask him a question. We let Benedict know that we saw the movie in 3D the night before. He had not seen the movie at that time. He was waiting for the movie to be completely ready for IMAX. That version was not ready at the time when we screened it, but you better believe that the next time I see it will be in IMAX!

Crazy Time Getting Caught Up – 5-Minute Dungeon Preview

Sleeping Andrew
Photo-A-Day #4214

One rather busy Tuesday today. I’m behind on my Koko Fit Club sessions and can’t fall behind on my 12 X 12 X 12. I doubled up on my strength and cardio this morning and have to do it again on Thursday. I was pretty wiped afterward but it was really satisfying. Andrew and I had lunch and then I worked up a post for tomorrow, it is an interview with Benedict Cumberbatch from last week’s #DoctorStrangeEvent.

While I worked on my post Andrew had a nice little nap on the couch. He was looking sleepy and rather than make him go to his room I let him have his time on the couch. He was already sleepy and wrapped up in his puppy dog blanket. When I was done with my post I snuck upstairs to take a quick nap. Twenty minutes of shuteye and Andrew was waking me up before I knew it.

His little nap must have done some good. He was really focused in karate this afternoon. So much so that the Sensei and Mr. Jacob both came up to tell him how well he was doing today. They were really impressed and I was very proud of him.

When we got home Eva, Andrew and I played some 5-Minute Dungeon. This is a game that I’ll be reviewing tomorrow. It was so much fun. I’ll tell you more about it tomorrow in a full review. You can find out more information at 5-Minute Dungeon and their Kickstarter starts on November 1, 2016.
