I enjoyed the new Sherlock Holmes, but man it takes some getting used to the fact that Sherlock has a website, texts and uses Google Maps. I preferred when he Google-mapped using his mind later in the episode. I am also impressed at how much more they poke at the gay thing after what happened with Ritchie and the owner of Sir Conan Doyle's estate.

There's already a movie for 'Girl with the dragon tattoo'

It's... in english, but I guess it stars Swedish actors and they want to Hollywood it up. it's a very intense film. :|

I'm more interested in the book than the movie.

My forum has a few people that have read it. From what I can remember, it's a good story, but either not all that well written or not all that well translated. So it's ended up being one of those love it/hate it books.

I'll try to track some down for you later, since I've been a bit interested as well.

[nayami]

Ugh, I hate when it's a decent story but badly written.

I found the girl with the dragon tattoo pretty . . . uh. Dull. The plot was interesting but the writing was eh and the pacing was even more eh and in general I was just unimpressed.

[nayami]

What's the big love for it?

[alexander]

Well, IMO Best Sellers tend to suffer from bad writing syndrome (often). I mean, Dan Brown, anyone? So.

[nayami]

Good music though!

I think that's all I remember about his stuff...

Yeah, I was weirded out at first by Sherlock sending texts and using Google and etc. Took a while to get used to it! Watson having a blog, on the other hand, makes perfect sense & I'm tickled by that idea. :)

It was interesting how far they poked the gay thing. And rather than completely shooting it down they left it fairly ambiguous. Hopefully they won't get sued!!

[nayami]

The ambiguity is the boldest thing of it all. I don't think I've seen Watson's blog yet.

Seconding that it was dull. I honestly couldn't even tell you what it was that I didn't like about it anymore . . . it left that little of an impression on me. 8(a Generally I can make it through books even if I'm not that into them, but I just couldn't get past the first few chapters of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

I've had the first episode of Sherlock downloaded for a week or two but haven't watched it yet. I SHOULD GET ON THAT.

[nayami]

Perhaps I shall skip in then since I'm not getting rave reviews.

Also, yes you should watch Sherlock. It's very good.
