Black Mass Official Trailer #2 (2015) - Johnny Depp, Benedict Cumberbatc...

He said a couple things that stuck I had to protect them and it's because the hardware overrules all the other software in this hardware is supreme nobody has it the second thing he said was that Arnie may have made it happen and I helped him get there but he agreed and said yeah that's more plausible and he was forcing it and it was just protecting him from the flames okay that's amazing we haven't really seen it that much and it says that the preacher can redirect it there's a whole bunch of things like that it should become more or less not very conductive of heat and really by the time you get it inside there it's pretty hot in the chamber but a lot of the energy is spent on the casket but you see in films and we've seen in combat these images of these things coming right out of the huge explosions that are hotter than one of these incinerators and they don't really incinerate very well caskets are very flammable it's like a bar but I was exploded to flames if you see a fire in a bar you have to get out there's some disasters a friend knows of one the shark bar in Rhode Island and it's no joke people say that the Mac property did it even our friend said it was suspicious because they're sending a threat against him we did pick that up and yeah a lot of people think it's them and we we know what we're doing. This is horrible the boy was forced to do it the Mac proper are probably at the end of the trail he saved his life and he had to but for what is the question we could be in a lot bigger trouble then just this creature protecting him but the creature might have memory of the people control it and yeah it's a double play

UC 51.04 - Emmanuel, Cam vs St Andrews

Here’s your first starter for ten - what links Wenlock and Mandeville of London, Kingsley of Partick Thistle, and Manny and Ellie of Emmanuel College, Cambridge? 

Okay, that was a pretty easy one, but I don’t write the questions for the show, so cut me some slack. Anyway, that’s right, they are all mascots. 

Wenlock and Mandeville represented the London 2012 Olympics (they were apparently formed from the final girder of the Olympic stadium [presumably through some sort of arcane alchemy] and have a single eye which is meant to be a camera, implying that they are part of some sort of state surveillance authority, disturbingly). 

Kingsley is the game-day mascot of Scottish football team Partick Thistle, and looks like this, which is perhaps even scarier than the idea of the London mascots keeping tabs on you. 

Manny and Ellie, meanwhile. are a lion and duck respectively, and sit in the centre of the Emmanuel quartet for tonight’s University Challenge first round match. Emmanuel are making their first appearance on the show since the third of three consecutive quarter-finals in 2019. Manny and Ellie accompanied them on each of those campaigns, beginning with the Bobby Seagull-captained 2016-17 side. 

That year they also had a Klein bottle - called ‘Kleiny the Bottle’, which had been made for Bobby by one of his Year 8 students. Other teams have had a good mascot game at various times (St Andrews appear to have a lobster this year for example), but in terms of sheer consistency and brand recognition I think Emma are probably the most reliably solid UC team on this front.

St Andrews are one of the most reliable UC teams on another, less desirable front, as their current streak of seven appearances without making a quarter-final is only bettered by Nottingham with nine. Unlike Emmanuel, this is one reputation they will be hoping to shake off, starting tonight against Manny, Ellie and the rest of the Emma team. 

Its Ellie who gets proceedings underway with an incredible buzz on a question about whether or not duck quacks echo, but unfortunately these points are disqualified on account of her being a duck, and inanimate, and the fact that I made all of that up.

The actual first queston goes to Emmanuel’s Thatte, who takes far too long (though still quicker than the rest of the contestants) to recognise a Benedict Cumberbatc from a list of his roles, one of which was his character from Starter for Ten. They grab a pair of bonuses on Shakespeare to take a twenty point lead, before Thatte takes his second starter in a row to make it thirty.

McMenamin, who has the most Scottish name of anyone on the St Andrews team, but who is actually from London, guesses Physics for the next starter on the basis of the letter P in the initialisation APS, and is right. The Scots quartet are off the mark. Fennell takes the first picture starter on equatorial countries, but their weaker bonuswork leaves them fifteen points adrift.

I was about to tell Paxman off for his pronunciation of Iga Swiatek’s name, but it turns out he’s totally right, and it is I who is the fool. Still, Emmanuel don’t know that she’s from Poland either way. It doesn’t matter, because they are miles clear. Their lead is helped by a neg from St Andrews, which Wrathall picks up. The bonuses which arise from this are on Ru Paul’s Drag Race, which delights Emmanuel.

The music starter is far too easy, and Fennell gets St Andrews involved again by identifying Oliver! a few beats into ‘Consider Yourself’... They get a couple of the bonuses to close within forty five points, but Thatte stops any thoughts of a comeback. They get all three bonuses on modern piracy, including one on Captain Phillips, about which they have an amusing discussion, nearly going with Captain Tom, before that man Thatte remembers the correct answer.

Paman lets Alderson off for saying the Sea of Bothnia rather than the Gulf of Bothnia, and St Andrews continue their renaissance with the second picture starter, and after the bonuses they are somehow only five points behind! We have a match on our hands! Where did this come from?

McMenamin negs the very next starter, but Pullinger starts conferring when it is offered to Emmanuel, and they don’t get it either. Pullinger then comes up clutch with the best buzz of the match on the next starter, getting David Copperfield from the words [which eponymous Dickens character has to wear...].

A brilliant buzz from Wigg keeps St Andrews right in it, and a very quick hat-trick on the bonuses ties the game at 125! The next starter rambles on for a while but it is Wrathall who holds his nerve to buzz in correctly. They dawdle a bit on the bonuses, and Paxman hurries them along very sternly to stop the babbling. They don’t manage to get any of them and Fennell ties the game again by identifying George III as being on the throne at the start of Wuthering Heights. 

They scrape a solitary bonus, and start panicking on the last question, but the gong sounds, and confirms their victory.

Final Score: Emmanuel, Cam 135 - 140 St Andrews

What a finish from St Andrews! They looked nowhere with five minutes left, and even they don’t look like they quite believe it, as their faces of wonder throughout the credits can attest. For Emma and their mascots, 135 might be enough to come back as a high scoring loser, and if that is the case they won’t be too annoyed - Alex Guttenplan won the whole thing for Emma in 2010 by going through the play-off round...

Benedict Cumberbatch on Playing Thomas Edison in “The Current War” 

(source)  photos: Dean Rogers

Competition breeds innovation. History is full of rivals who, by working against one another, continuously pushing to be better, have inadvertently contributed to the greater good. Apple versus Microsoft is one such example, paving the way for computing as we know it today. There’s Elon Musk’s SpaceX versus Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin – the modern day space race. However, few rivalries have changed the world as much as the War of Currents. It was a battle of entrepreneurial titans, of AC versus DC, of George Westinghouse versus Thomas Edison. Now, Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Shannon are bringing the story to the big screen.

Now, with The Current War, the story of this famous rivalry is coming to the big screen. The Sorcerer Supreme himself, Benedict Cumberbatch, explores the very real kind of magic in Thomas Edison’s use of electricity, while the versatile Michael Shannon plays successful businessman and entrepreneur George Westinghouse. Slated to release on October 25, 2019, The Current War explores this famous rivalry of the two titans of electricity. We had the opportunity to discuss with Cumberbatch  the various aspects of his character and this historic conflict.

Innovation & Tech Today: What did you do to prepare to play the man who’s been called “America’s Greatest Inventor?”

Benedict Cumberbatch: Well, I read much as I could… There was an excerpt of his diary, which is a little known publication (I think out of print now) that production managed to get a hold of for me. That was a wonderful insight…

I researched into specifics to do with his deafness, to do with the electric current and its distribution. I was speaking to people who know a lot more about these things, including our art department on the film itself in pre-production, who were pretty fantastic. I always find that leaning on some of the experts around you is an incredibly helpful thing to do. Then the book itself that it’s inspired by, [War of the Currents]. It’s an amazing story of three men, three titans of invention.

I&T Today: Did you learn anything about him that the average person might not know?

Benedict Cumberbatch: I guess the regrets or the understanding of what he’d sacrificed with his family, how hard he worked and what cost that had on the intimacy that he had, and lacked, with his family. Not to judge the man, but I think he ended up repeating his mistakes, if they were mistakes. Or is it just his nature? But I think it still tortured him as well as being something he decided to do. That work always came first. That was an interesting thing to explore… He was very fond of coffee. He’d often sleep in the laboratory and work through the night.

He was very fond of his men, he treated them honestly and truthfully and, at times, harshly, but there was a lot of celebratory machismo and backslapping, and it was a proper communal work environment in Menlo Park. That’s the first blueprint for the research and development departments we now have in a lot of industries in the Silicon Valley. There was a lot of comradery and I think there were certain pressure points in this race for the control of the current where he probably didn’t behave at his best. There’s a human element to that. It’s not all just good natured thigh slapping. There was a lot of hard work and a lot of spilled milk.

How ferocious a reader he was, I didn’t know. I don’t know how general knowledge that is about him, but it’s gobsmacking. I mean volumes of literature all the time. He never stopped reading. A lot of the diaries, accounts of passages, fiction, as well as a lot of history, and of course science and nonfiction actual works. He’s extraordinary. He writes about books as mood enhancers as well, how they transport him. He writes about his daydreams and his dreams, and however racy they get. He touches upon a fantasy life as well. He’s just very funny, and takes great delight in the brilliance of other people as well.

I&T Today: The Current War is revolved around this rivalry, specifically between Edison and George Westinghouse, played by Michael Shannon. How has it been working with Shannon as your rival, as your opposite?

Benedict Cumberbatch: Well, it’s a bit like the famous scene in Heat where the two rivals operate in such isolated opposition or polarity that they really are arguing two completely different cases. They don’t crossover much, that’s the great thing. Sadly, I only got two instances where Michael and I were on the same set, but obviously one of those is a big scene, a lot like the café scene that’s between De Niro and Pacino.

Michael is an extraordinary actor. I’ve been a huge fan of all of his work, and for a long time. He has such command of characterization, of how to achieve so much with seemingly so little, but inside he’s fearlessly intelligent and very heartfelt.

I&T Today: Edison isn’t the first scientist you’ve played. You’ve also portrayed Alan Turing in The Imitation Game and others. How has this experience compared to that of Alan Turing?

Benedict Cumberbatch: I think Edison obviously has an eccentricity: the workaholic nature, the excessive nature, the competitiveness, and what were rumored to be issues of hygiene because of that. I still think that he operated on a very different plane from the other scientists I’ve portrayed, and Turing in particular. Personality-wise, he’s bombastic, he’s a salesman, he’s confident up front. He’d be as confident in front of a podium as he would be in his workshop. Entertaining and regaling with facts and amusing anecdotes and funny asides. You know he was a very public persona.

Whereas Alan Turing was a very awkward, retiring, quiet, and shy man by comparison. Often, people say “you play lots of scientists.” Yes, but I also play lots of different human beings, and they couldn’t be two more different human beings in my opinion.

Alan was lean and trim, a very competent long-distance runner. And I think Edison would not be a competent long distance runner. He was energetic, but I don’t think it went too far in the direction of cardiovascular workouts.

And the lure for this wasn’t just another scientist, but it was another extraordinary human being. It was tempting, had some aspects that I had never played before. I always try to look for work that gives me something new to think about.

I&T Today: How has playing Edison compared to some of the fictional intellectuals you’ve played? Like Sherlock Holmes or Dr. Strange?

Benedict Cumberbatch: The Wizard of Menlo Park and the Sorcerer Supreme. I think what’s extraordinary about what Edison did was this was magic we’re still living with. I’ve got two, very young, children. And to see the look in their eyes when lights go on and off for the first time, and they really take that in. It’s a very bold and frank reminder of what an extraordinary thing it is. Doing this Promethean thing of lighting unlight with light, and creating daylight, and interrupting circadian rhythms, and bringing convenience to every part of our lives so we can evolve physically and intellectually, in a different way. These are incredibly real things, and to be part of storytelling or a storyteller trying to imagine and envision what that would be like to be at the forefront of that invention is terribly exciting.

I&T Today: As you studied this historic rivalry, do you think there are comparisons to some more modern rivalries? Bill Gates vs. Steve Jobs, for instance?

Benedict Cumberbatch: Of course there are. How can there not be? I think there have been rivalries in all areas in industry. Of course now, a lot of these powerhouses in Silicon Valley, these men, captains of our modern tech industry, Noskin and Jeff Bergin, Gates and Steve Jobs. You know they’ve become as iconic as their products in many ways. And rightfully so. And I think the men and women who are captaining those areas of industry now always acknowledge their debt to people like Westinghouse, Edison, and of course, Tesla.
