Wandered off to the alleged entertainment barn for the homoerotic steampunk Sherlock film, which was only slightly incoherent. It's probably just me, but the motion blur or shit bandwidth digital buggeration drove me up the wall. The sequence where they were steaming across Yurp by means of nag was particularly tiresome.
