I'M WATCHING SHERLOCK TONIGHT!!!!
No, nothing as fancy as that new movie or whatever... just re-watching some of the old Mystery Theater episodes. I love Jeremy Bretts' Sherlock!!

"Look, a pheasant!"

Watson's great, too. Both actors who play him. Gyaah, I've been looking forward to this for a long while! <3 ( Read more... )

My favorite rendition of Sherlock Homles is the 1980's one. I thought it was incredibly accurate, and although the earlier one was well-done as well, the incredible attention to camera angles and scene design was absolutely brilliant in the one starring Jeremy Brett! I honestly don't even think the movie can live up to it... I mean, I haven't seen it, and I bet it has fantastic special effects... but there were scenes in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes series that had such incredibly minute symbolic detail, that I don't think they would even expect most of their audience to pick up on.

Woohoo! I'm glad to meet somebody else who appreciates Jeremy Bretts' Sherlock as much as I do! XD ( ... )

I agree. I didn't like the black and white version so much. It wasn't bad. It was accurate to the story, but I enjoy the 1980's version better. Brett's acting is wonderful, and I think his appearance fits the role too! Although I might have just taken his appearance and applied it to my personal image of Holmes now :] haha ( ... )

Wow! That's really cool... (<--seems a lame response after you wrote all that, but those were my initial thoughts, lol!)

I'll have to keep my eye out for the scene with the maid and the magnifying glass! <3

I actually have a sort of aversion to analyzing things like that, because we did it very rigorously in an English class of mine, so I came to associate it with ridiculous essays... which is unfortunate, because it can lead to some interesting things, like what you've just pointed out.

I was going to say something like "I bet that fine attention to detail in scripting and stuff comes from working on the stage", but I suppose that doesn't explain why the black and white one would lack it.

(I know I've definitely modified the way I imagine Holmes to be a lot more--perhaps totally--Bretts-ish!) XD
