I didn't catch the auditory bit, because I can't hear most movies in theaters and I kind of read lips and grab words here and there to get the plot. Movies to me are too loud, with too much bass. People don't speak, they rumble. I want an equalizer, to turn up the midrange so I can hear voices over the background noise.
Oh, allposters.com is somewhat misnamed. They carry a wide range of fine art giclee prints including Hofnagel and Durer. Those are a bit expensive. There is lots of Edwardian transportation art also, which I like.
Huh. I every once in a while get little glimpses of this sort of thing, but it's not at all common, or intense, in me. But wow, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks, I hadn't processed that.
Actually, if you read ACD's stories, you find that Holmes was a skilled amateur boxer; I don't know about army doctors (as Watson had been) then, but I know a couple of modern ones, & they're hardly pudgy.
I know what the originals are...but Guy Ritchie wanted to capture that in his re-telling.
Ritchie said that the old Sherlock Holmes movies really had no fisticuffs or other shenanigans depicted in the books. Ritchie wanted his Holmes & Watson to be more badass than the movies Ritchie grew up on.

Reading your posts concerning AS makes me hopeful, thank you. I know the scene you are talking about, and I enjoyed the movie as well.
