Sherlock has eaten my brain.

That's my excuse for everything at the moment and I'm sticking to it. I haven't been posting, because I've been too busy reading Sherlock fanfic, watching Sherlock vids and reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original Sherlock stories - which are rapidly becoming my favourite books of all time

Have you seen the movie Young Sherlock Holmes (directed by Barry Levinson in 1985)?

I used to watch it with my dad (and had the hardest time finding the DVD when I was in France last year).

Oh you know, I have that on my UK Amazon shopping list atm. It's really cheap. :D

Oh I did find it in the end, it was a US import and it's in English or French (both language on the case). It was like 10 Euros I think, which is about NZ$20. So not that bad. :)

I tend to watch it in French, cos that's how I know it. Just like I know The Princess Bride and the original Star Wars Trilogy (I watch it in English and the lines come to me in French in my head...) and some other movies like Hudson Hawk...

Cool. I cant really speak any other languages.

Well, growing up in France, English is mandatory at school from age 11... Then 2 years later you have to choose another language to learn on top of that.
So in the 7 years (intermediate/high school) I did English (7 years) then German (5 years and that's long gone...) then 3 years of Italian in high school and I kinda speak Spanish too cos we used to go there on holiday all the time and I kinda picked it up... And I did 2 years of Czech at university.

I did German in high school, but it didn't really stick beyond simple sentences. :P
