does your depravity know no bounds?

[slumber]

A note to movie-makers who have barely any ounce of original thinking left and feel a need to go back to classics to rework and remake what previously successful franchise they could find and buy the rights to (so, everyone):

THIS is how you rape canon so hard and so good she'll end up spreading her legs most willingly for you and beg for more, more, oh god yes more please!

[thethirdbar.livejournal.com]

I vaguely remember her being there but didn't remember how well she fits period pieces until that, haha. I knoooooooow, how can Sherlock Holmes NOT be released until CHRISTMAS DAY ARE THEY CRAZY.

[thethirdbar.livejournal.com]

christmas day as a big film release date always strikes me as really odd anyway. i mean, who goes to the cinema on christmas day? would you? i wouldn't!

[slumber.livejournal.com]

i guess they're just gunning for all the movie-goers who'll watch around that time since everyone's off? Idunno. PLUS it's too far away! Grr. D:

FLY BY MARK STRONG LOVE.

OH GOD YES MORE PLEASE.

[acidpop25.livejournal.com]

I need this RIGHT NOW.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

*giggles* don't kill me but I am not familiar with Mark Strong. What am I missing??

[slumber.livejournal.com]

Not til Christmas! D:

[wenelda.livejournal.com]

He's a totally amazing British actor who's only now starting to get recognition. He's Lord Blackwood in Sherlock Holmes (the one doing the voice over in the preview), Archy in RocknRolla (awesome film -- that's him in the icon), Hani in Body of Lies, and... Well, he's in a lot of different movies. Oh, and he was Septimus in Stardust. He's totally talented and hot to boot. *g*

[slumber.livejournal.com]

I was looking through his IMDB profile page and I've not seen most of them, so D: probably why I've missed him. I'll have to look at Stardust again. Cannot wait for this movie, heh.

[acidpop25.livejournal.com]

But, but, but.

...well, I suppose Jude Law does make a pretty good Christmas present.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

I like how you think!

[backcheck.livejournal.com]

The movie looks fucking terrible ahaha. SHERLOCK HOLMES IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PRETTY. :(

[slumber.livejournal.com]

I DON'T CARE. After years and years and years of hoping for decent adaptations, I am DONE. SCREW CANON, BUT DO IT PRETTILY AND I AM YOURS.

[backcheck.livejournal.com]

Haha, don't mind me, I'm a hater for most movie adaptations. It's a lost art and nobody understands my obsession with it. :(

[slumber.livejournal.com]

It's a desperate, against-all-odds kind of thing. Like going down 0-2 in a series against the defending champs. Hah, see what I did there? :| Only the latter is more probable.

[scarlet-malfoy.livejournal.com]

CAN'TTT WAITTTTTT. And aren't they canonically (well, movie canonically) gay? Or was that just a rumor?

[slumber.livejournal.com]

LOL, I don't think so, but I won't be surprised if it didn't take long before the fic came out not long after... (I think they both definitely have love interests.)

[scarlet-malfoy.livejournal.com]

I swear there was an article about it a couple of months ago. Maybe I'm just going crazy. lol!

[slumber.livejournal.com]

Oooh, that'd be awesome if that were true! :P

"Just how gay is Sherlock Holmes going to be, anyway?

A few months back Rachel McAdams raved about the chemistry between Robert Downey Jr's "Sherlock" and Jude Law's "Watson", saying "They're really perfect together. That's kind of the love story, actually. I play supposedly Sherlock's love interest, but it's really Watson."

And people are still talking about the homo-eroticism of the famous, er, "couple." The Bosh and The Playlist, working from Jude Law quotes, think it'll definitely be there and visible too. But Hollywood Elsewhere thinks they might be overstating. My favorite take comes from My New Plaid Pants who, indulging his understandable Jude Law fetish, would like to rechristen the movie Dr. Watson's Sexy-Time Adventures.

We won't know until we see it how far Guy Ritchie has taken this much speculated upon friendship but it's easy to imagine that the actors are willing to go there. Robert Downey Jr has been a hustler (Less Than Zero) and a proud marrying gay (Home for the Holidays) onscreen. Jude Law is even less shy about a flexible onscreen sexuality having worked in drag roles (Rage), gay roles (Wilde, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) and the kind of overtly sexualized roles (The Talented Mr Ripley, Alfie, AI: Artificial Intelligence) that are usually reserved for actresses.

Whether or not Sherlock Holmes and the upcoming buzzing indie Humpday (previously covered on Towleroad) further popularize "bromance" fever, I think we can all agree that the term is getting as annoying as "metrosexual" once was. Can we not?"

Hehheheh yessss

YOU. ARE. AMAZING..

[wenelda.livejournal.com]

Go out and rent his movies! Lol. He seriously steals every scene he's in, even if it's a tiny cameo like in 'Sunshine' with Cillian Murphy. He's the main reason I watched 'Revolver', besides that Guy Ritchie directed it.
