in which Katta is growly as all fuck

Okay, so someone writes a pretty fun article comparing the sex potential of Avatar and Sherlock Holmes. I, as the idiot I am, read the comments.

FUCK I HATE PEOPLE.

I particularly hate this one:

Ok. I have to say, I could easily see it both ways. I could see it as they are just friends, and Homes is insanely jealous that his buddy is leaving (It felt a lot like Turk/JD) Or I could totally re-write is as Brokeback Mountain, with Holmes being the one that wishes he could quit Watson. Watson was less determinedly gay to me, not because he had a fiance, but because he seemed to really truly want a regular life. Holmes really truly proved that he could take or leave the girl.

And honestly, he didn't act like it was the fist time he woke up naked in handcuffs. And the fistfighting seemed like a great, well established manner of releasing sexual energy.

So, in conclusion, my verdict is that Holmes is most likely very gay, and Watson could go either way.

(But, to put my view in perspective, I was watching a Discovery channel show about a guy that got attacked by a bear in real life last weekend, and was totally convinced that the part that they left out for TV was that the retreat was really a cover for a large gay orgie in a secluded cabin.)

Hee! Yeah, that's sort of my verdict too. Holmes is just not straight. Asexual, maybe, but definitely not straight. If he's in love with anyone it's Watson. (Seriously, check the wikipedia for the books, there doesn't seem to be ANY evidence that Holmes fancied women. Not even Irene.)

If so, does Watson reciprocate? He clearly loves Holmes very much, but is it sexual? Maybe. Maybe Mary is a beard, maybe he's bisexual and really does love her, maybe he's straight after all.

(Btw, I remember some reviewer of BBM going, "Why do they call it a gay cowboy movie? It's not. It's a bisexual wrangler movie.")

A reviewer may have said it, but I know my current roomate said at the time "They are bisexual sheep herders!"

After staying up all night watching the Youtube clips, I have to say that I also believe that RDJr is madly in love with Jude Law. He can't keep his hands OFF that boy! Nothing about him seems genuinly straight.

Maybe I misremembered, then? I tend to do that a lot.

And RDJ does claim that it's the other way around, but I don't know if I trust him on that. :-) Still, he's married.
