Escape to the Movies: Sherlock Holmes

[allyhewitt]

the plot is totally mental, same as from hell

FWIW, i.e. the House thing - next time you're watching, check out the number on House's apartment, the various Doyle books that turn up in the background and how frequently (at least twice, I think) the name Irene Adler turns up.

Dammit, Bob! Now cannot unsee!
But seriously, I like Holmes, I like House, and I'm astounded that I never got around to that connection! Thanks for turning the light on that lovely little tidbit!

Saying this in a proud manner on Christmas day of all days is as pitiful as this sentence is ironic.

You use that word [ironic] I do not think it means what you think it means...

I'm with Bob on one point.
Boba Fett fanboys.
WHAT THE FUCK? Why is he so popular? He's a random bounty hunter introduced during the terrible Holiday Special and who was eaten by an IMMOBILE CREATURE.
Is it the jet pack? Oh fuck-a-doodle-doo. You think anyone from Mass Effect or Half-Life would need a jet pack to kill Fett? Shepard could just accuse Fett of making disingenuous assertions and Fett's head would explode inside his helmet, and Gordon Freeman has a weapon that can distort gravity. Fett was useless by old sci-fi standards, now he's not even qualified to be called cannon fodder. I should also mention he's genetically identicle to the Storm Troopers according to the prequel series. You know, the useless guys in plastic who can't shoot straight and who can be killed if you cough in their direction?

Quick question to MovieBob; did he catch Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss' modern re-imagining Sherlock when it was on and if so, what did he think of it?

 

[Deathlisk]

Actually, the sherlock holmes series are now the best Sherlock holmes thing I have ever seen. I find it brilliant.
Anyone agrees?

 

[Zmax15]

If anyone agrees with him than you need to watch BBC's 'Sherlock' series, awesome.

Its funny that the bbc's modern adaptation actually seems to do a better job of being true to the original stories than this movie does. Honestly it feels as if the "Sherlock" name was just slapped on more than anything else.
