christmas break part 1
I SAW SHERLOCK HOLMES AND IT'S THE BEST MOVIE EVAR (in tiny part because it was preceded by five of the crappiest trailers in the history of humanity, including the one where Gerard Butler throws Jennifer Aniston in the trunk.)
The second-best part was Robert Downey Jr.'s Holmes. of course, Jeremy Brett is Holmes, but comparing this Holmes to the source material (the ticks and the OCD and the fisticuffs) works really well. This is the sort of Holmes who would be found whacking corpses to test postmortem bruising.
The best part was Jude Law's John Watson. He's awesome. He's exasperated with Holmes and still right by his side at every moment. He's a recovering gambler and an honestly good man, and he was the Watson I read in those books when I was a kid. Love love.
Yeah, it's not the Sherlock Holmes we've come to expect after years of Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett, but at the tail end of a decade of epic reboots, it settles nicely in place. I'm going to go see it again.
Haven't seen Avatar yet but I'm looking forward to that.
Have been writing on the fanfics again, now that I have time (and yes, that includes mainly Inevitable).
Will have something for you in a few minutes. Stay tuned.
