Swapping Hiddlebatches

.
Do you prefer Tom Hiddleston to Benedict Cumberbatch? They are kind of linked in my mind - they both came up all at once, they're both British with frivolously multisyllabic last names, they both need to be photographed from the right angle in order to look attractive (although it's easier with Tom on that score than it is with Ben, poor dear). Anyway I prefer Tom. I like Benny a lot but if such a thing were given to me a la Sophie's Choice I'd definitely be Team Hiddles. So the word that Cumberbatch's abandonment of Guillermo Del Toro's Crimson Peak only opened up a slot for Hiddleston to slip himself in makes me happy, not sad. He'll star opposite the killer cast of Charlie Hunnam, Jessica Chastain, and Mia Wasikowska in the haunted love story.

Well, it makes me really sad. Really, really sad. As an actor, Hiddleston is nowhere near Cumberbatch.
