Yeah, na. The Watchalongs were so much better on chatango. And I'm going to keep saying this until someone who isn't me realises it. I know I'm moaning, and yeah - I should probably suggest it myself. But I'm a bit-girl. I've got no clout in this fandom, and there's really very little fun at a watchalong when you're doing it on your own ( Read more... )

Sherlock Holmes Granada Watchalongs vs Sherlock Holmes Granada Movie Night/Group Watch ( Read more... )

Granada's The Creeping Man is brilliant if only for the snark. And such delicious snark it was. Holmes and Watson? So married.

My mother was out there in the living room, watching Ladyhawke, and she didn't tell me.

AHEM. One of my most favourite movies of all time where I can practically quote it beginning to end and hum the musical score and she didn't tell me ( Read more... )

Has kicked me in the pants.

Typical. I fake a sicky to watch the second showing of the R!SHMN (Russian!Sherlock Holmes Movie Night), and then I actually GET sick.

The Not-Essay, Nowhere-Near-Thesis, Prosopography on John H Watson, A.M.O, MD, MB. (aka - What Are You Hiding, Dr. Watson? The 5th Northumberland Fusiliers Weren't In Kandahar Until After Maiwand).

( A BADLY WRITTEN REPORT ON DR. WATSON - PURELY BECAUSE I LOVE DOING POINTLESS STUFF LIKE THIS. A SUBMISSION ON HOW LIKELY IT WAS THAT WATSON SERVED IN THE SECOND AFGHAN WAR FOR A PERIOD MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN TWO MONTHS AND HOW THE EXTENDED TIME MAY HAVE IMPACTED HIM IN CAREER AND MANNER )

My DVD's arrived today!

I love living in New Zealand. All the mail gets here uber quick. I swear, I only ordered these things last Tuesday, and they came by econo-mail!

Note: I really need a Holmes icon. Really. Dark!Watson's not suitable for squee.

So, GMN fell through yesterday, so in the midst of a pout-fest, I YouTubed and Squeak and I watched 4 episodes before bed time. A Scandal in Bohemia, The Six Napoleons, The Crooked Man, and The Copper Beeches (where Squeak and I replayed one segment five times because neither of us could be sure what Brett muttered). It was great, because I got ( Read more... )

Oh, look! Holmes is playing with his food.
