This journal is quickly just becoming a Sherlock Holmes fan-page and I am quite ok with that. My husband is taking care of blogging our real life right now and doing a far better job of it than I would so I'll let him have at it.
And I feel very silly saying this but if you happen to be a Sherlock Holmes fan but somehow have missed every incarnation ever of Riechenbach Falls then run away from your monitor and go read/watch one of them. I'll wait. Additionally if you are in the US and haven't seen the last episode of season 2 of Sherlock turn back, I don't want to risk spoiling any details for you. Other than to say- I am jealous of you for still getting to look forward to seeing it for the first time because hells yes, it is that good.
Haha, I write all that like I have readers....anyhoo..
We went and saw the new Sherlock Holmes movie and adored it. I liked it even better than the first one and I liked the first one very well. Normally I'm not one for action movies but I do like the Guy Ritchie films I've seen and I think he does a bang up job with these. And owing largely to the heart breaking look on R.D.Jr's face just before the climax of the film I thought- "That's it, no one is ever going to do that scene better" And then...Sherlock..Oh, how that show killed me. In a good way of course. Sherlock on the phone with John? CRYING? Too gorgeous. And the jump itself seemed to me to be very reminiscent of the one in the Granada series. Pretty stuff all around. Here's hoping John doesn't have to wait three years for the big reveal. Watson had Mary, John doesn't so I hope they don't prolong his suffering. Because poor, poor John. Such a good job by both actors, really gorgeous stuff.
