"The man plays every role as himself!"

Indeed he does.

Lots of promise, here. Looking forward to seeing where it goes!

I put that little bit in just for you. I personally am a fan of the RDJ, myself. :-)

Ohhh, this is terrific :) Funny and clever and god, Sherlock is an arse, so pretty much true to form. Can't wait for more!

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY ENTIRE LIFE

Okay, discussion time:

1) I reeaaaalllly enjoyed reading this so much. ♥ All the film and actor references (the Quentin one made me grin)! You provided a VERY convincing glimpse of the Hollywood scene BACKSTAGE, without all the glitz and glamour (of course Sherlock wouldn't want that anyway). I had fun reading all of their past "movies", and when I was thinking of movie directors for the gay film, I thought of Alfonso Cuaron, Ang Lee, Wong-Kar Wai and Gus Van Sant. So I was thrilled you chose Ang!

2) Very clever dialogue. I love that it's in Sherlock's POV, and I knew he would have Lestrade and Sally on his side, Mike and Harry on John's. ♥ Robert Downey getting the part he wanted = heheheheheh snickering forever.

3) “This script requires heavy lifting. There is a scene in which Mark discovers his twin brother’s body after he’s committed suicide! That isn’t material for a man whose films have soundtracks with Top 40 hits on them!” - Like, I said. Genius dialogue ( ... )

Also I totally imagine John = Hugh Grant (lol) and Sherlock = Daniel Day-Lewis. Or something. =))
